    Havisham

    Recieving a bottle of Havisham, quite unexpectly, really made my day. Love you Beth. First Impression: Roses, but unlike any roses I've smelled before. Second Impression: Hauntingly beautiful and yes, chilly. It's like the rare and beautiful bloom beside her dead sisters, after the weather has turned cold, bravely clinging to the season. Final Analysis: Sad and chilly floral, but also extrodinarily elegant. This is one Limited Edition I passed on as I imagined it would smell like a mean old lady. I was ever so wrong and just thrilled that I've been given a second chance. I will treasure this bottle!

    Searching for the Perfect Vanilla?

    Have you tried Dragon's Milk? It's lovely and once the initial burst of dragon's blood dries off, a sweet-sweet vanilla remains.

    How do you apply your BPAL oils?

    I really do like the reducer caps. I'm in the minority here, but it makes it so much neater. And I'm such a klutz!

    When your favorite GC blends are discontinued

    Delirium is lovely. I'd also try to snag a bottle of Rose Red as it's a wonderful pure rose fragrance.

    How long do bottles & imps last?

    Please, please, use the search function. The identical thread was just on the next page. I just merged them. We have a great search function here, please use it.

    Motivation help needed!

    Juliet or Empyreal Mist are calming and light. I'd go with one of those. Best of luck. You are charming and worthy!!!

    Scent for Halloween?

    Another Halloween has come and gone. It seems that everyone enjoyed it safely. We've got the rest of autumn to show off our LE's. Enjoy them when they arrive.

    I layered Cinnamon Buns cream with Jack and Harvest Moon. I was an autumnal goddess!

    Scent for Halloween?

    I'm going to slather myself in Jack tomorrow and Jack II on Sunday. I really wish we were having some cooler weather though. Rob and I will be working in the garden tomorrow and it's going to be sunny and 82 degrees.

    Questions about BPAL shipping costs in orders

    I miscalculated my shipping on today's paypal order, I'll be owing $4. I feel so stupid. I e-mailed Nella, so when she gets back she can do this to me
  15. If you can get your hands on some Decadence, that would be perfect. If not, Old Port au Prince is a nice alternative as t3andcrumpets pointed out.

    There is a thread about abbreviations and lingo in the FAQ's. Click-click!

    Help with Jasmine scents, please!

    There are reviews for all of those scents in the Review section. Old New Orleans is nice for jasmine lovers.

    Scent for Halloween?

    Though I'm not working at the moment, as a nurse we're requested to wear "subtle" fragrance as not to offend any of our clients/residents/patients. Too much perfume could trigger an allergy attack in some sensitive patients.

    Phantom Queen

    This was a decant from the lovely paperdoll! First Impression: That gorgeous orchid note like in Queen Mab and Regan. Second Impression: Phantom Queen has more spirit, more bite than either Queen Mab and Regan. It's like the beautiful flower that will spit poison at you if you lean too close. Final Analysis: I love this, the more I sniff at my wrist, the more I love it. This is going to replace Queen Mab on the bottle wish list.

    Whitechapel

    Hypothermya generously decanted an imp of Whitechapel for me and boy I'm so glad she did! First Impression: Oh the wonders of bright, crisp lime and fresh white musk. Second Impression: With the lime and citron being so bracing and fresh there is no sense of sweetness or fruitiness with this, just clean and crisp. The lilac smooths out the edges making it just gorgeous. And white musk is just sexy in the cleanest way. Final Analysis: I never thought this combination would be so amazing. And this scent is perfect for the ladies as well as gents. Addictive and unusual.

    Berry Scents - Blackberry, Red Berries

    If you like White Musk then Whitechapel is a must. Just gorgeous!

    When your favorite GC blends are discontinued

    If you love March Hare then you should try... Imp Depraved Ravenous Fae Katharina March Hare is my number one favorite room spray. It makes the whole house smell like Disney at Christmas. I must order another bottle!
