    Discussion of all things Amber

    backthatelfup replied to voodoobaby's topic in Recommendations

    I've been wearing BPAL for a few years and have just now realized how amazing amber is. I'm wondering, how could I possible have MISSED THIS AWESOMENESS ALL THIS TIME and wondering if my skin chemistry has just changed or what. It started out with Gold Phoenix, then The Sportive Sun and now The Lion. All just gorgeous, warm scents. Reading through this thread realizing a recent favourite, Fenris Wolf, also has amber in it (though it is very red musk on me and sandalwood. Might have to go back through the catalog again...so in love.

    Wine, Beer, Rum, Bourbon... the booze scents

    backthatelfup replied to spark's topic in Recommendations

    Tintagel has a nice wine note for me. When I used to work at a wine shop, I loved to wear it

    WAR, Huh, whoa, What is it good for? Ginger. Seriously, War is very gingery.

    Rose Recommendations - which blend is for me?

    backthatelfup replied to Nadirah's topic in Recommendations

    I have not tried any of the Dawns beyond Cernunnos which is one of my absolute faves. In my experience I can't do jasmine because I amp it and smells like poop (true story) to me. I was eyeing Dawn: Mother just last night though... I should check out Rose Red and/or The Peacock Queen. I do love rose. So pretty. I can't wait till summer so that my rose bushes will bloom and I can inhale them!

    Rose Recommendations - which blend is for me?

    backthatelfup replied to Nadirah's topic in Recommendations

    *waves* Bringing this thread back. Recently discovered that I really, really love rose. My favorite rose blends thus far are Bess, Whoso List to Hunt and The Forest Reveries. All of these have rose but a little bit of something that makes them all just...*swoon* I miss walking around Portland and just burying my face in roses. So wonderful...

    Chocolate and Cocoa, in every combination possible

    backthatelfup replied to mand's topic in Recommendations

    If you like blood musk...I would recommend The Tell-Tale Heart. Blood Musk and Cocoa Tell-Tale Heart: This is a swollen, pulsating, thudding scent, heavy with dread; a steady, unceasing, throbbing harbinger of retribution and doom: blood musk, cocoa, black pepper, allspice, dragon's blood resin and vetiver. Yeah...going to have to try and find it.

    Forest & Woods Scents (with and without evergreens)

    backthatelfup replied to omly's topic in Recommendations

    Dawn: Cernunnos strikes me as a dark foresty scent, hence why I love it so much
  19. backthatelfup
    My favorite scent with myrrh in it is Dawn: Cernunnos. Something about all of those cool woods with the warm, sweet myrrh makes it amazing. Seriously love it. Anyone have recs for Myrrh plus red musk or myrrh plus leather?

    backthatelfup replied to mand's topic in Recommendations

    I really dig Tezcatlipoca and if you can find it, Ghoul Hooligan (one of my FAVES EVER). Ein Kuss Von Krampus is a nice sweetly spiced scent on me and Velvet is awesome too. Is there a chocolate and red musk scent I am missing out on? Those are two of myf ave BPAL notes.

    BPAL scents appropriate for very young children?

    backthatelfup replied to beetiger's topic in Recommendations

    Anything foodie is good for my kid. She especially likes Beaver Moon and Tweedle Dee and Dum. Candy Butcher is nicer on her than on me....D:

    Um...damn. Should not have read that. *wants*

    Corva, I am going to agree, cooking rice is one of the best smells ever! I'll have to check some of these out
