Although I have a private LJ (and a blog for cross-stitch) I think a scent journal would be useful. My LJ friends have not the slightest idea of perfume and I don't want to spam their friends list with perfume ramblings.
I think a blog here is a nice idea as mostly people who like BPAL will read it (if anyone at all reads it anyway). This will be my space for pondering over what to include in my next order and post short reviews.
With the new update I want to place a new order, so question is what to order?
I think I'll pass on the Fledgling Raptor Moon. I love the concept and the artwork is beautiful but woods are not very me, I'm still unsure how vanilla works for me (same with sandalwood) and I have never tried Hinoki, Massoia or West Indian bay.
Until now I also thought I wouldn't need Chaos Theory because it's too risky but yesterday I got a decant from some CT Vanilla and it's vanilla-creamy orange and smells sooo yummy. Also in the reviews incense hasn't been mentioned much so i'm kinda save.
It's not that I don't like incense but I have many imps smelling like it so I don't need more.
So I will take the risk and hope for a foody or fruity or floral Vanilla blend.
Also on my order will be Tiki Princess and an Imp pack of the Tiki bar (consisting of Blue Fire, Mahana, Rangoon Riptide, Red Tide, Screeching Parrot and Ehecatl). All those sound delicious for summer!
I'm not the biggest fan of warm coconut (Paduan Killer Swarm is nice once in a while but the coconut is a little bit too much), so I hope the cold coconut in Tiki Princess will be as awesome as I hope for.
I plan to get my first GC bottle. With my last order I got an Imp of Glasgow and it's GEORGEOUS!!! I love the heather and blackberry. It's such a subtle, warm and soft blend that I could wear it everyday if there weren't all those Imps to test.
So the (new, edited) breakdown:
CT Vanilla
Tiki Princess
Glasgow
Durian Fruit infused Honey and Brandy
Imp Pack
+ some Wandcaps
This will be the biggest order I've placed so far but as it's my birthday in 3 days I think it's okay to make myself a small present ^^
Okay EDIT: I completely forgot!!!
I also wanted to order Durian Fruit infused Honey and Brandy. IMO it's the best infused honey because it's not so overly green like Doll's Eye and a little bit more complex than Jerusalem Cherry (which is also nice but I only need one Infused Honey). I haven't tried Yew Berry but that's okay.
Maybe the fact that I forgot it in the breakdown is a sign that I shouldn't order it at all? But it's such a nice light scent... And in July I might want to order the Moths and Butterflies when I'm finally done testing them all.
