    Snow White

    This is my new favorite scent! Perfectly creamy and cool. I get more compliments in one day of wearing Snow White than I've had my entire life wearing anything else. I hate that this is a limited edition.

    Mi-Go Brain Canister

    I'm pretty new to BPAL, so this was my first big miss. I recieved a bottle of this in a swap, and I fully expected to love it, but I didn't. In the bottle, I got the smell of jolly ranchers that had been rolled in dirt. There was just this awful, dirty smell to it that gave me a headache. However, my skin tends to morph scents, so I tried it on. Whoa, pepper and dirt! The fruity smell was gone, and I was left with dirty pepper. Very unfortunate.

    Numb

    Numb smells exactly like these fancy violet soaps that my grandmother used to keep in her bathroom when I was a kid. It's not a bad scent (it's actually very nostalgic for me) but it isn't something I could wear all the time. I recieved an imp, which I sent to my sister. She loves floral scents. I also have a bottle, which I'll probably gift to my grandmother. (of course)

    Black Opal

    In the imp: I'm worried this won't work for me. It smells nice, but a little old lady-ish. Wet: This smells exactly like I would imagine an opal to smell. The base is very smooth and creamy, but there's something almost sharp peaking out whenever I catch a whiff. This sharpness is almost like the points of light deep within the opal. Dry Down: The sharpness has mellowed into the creamy background; however I still get a sense of it when I sniff my wrist close up. Verdict: This is a lovely scent. Very ladylike and pure. I can't say that I would wear this every day, but it is perfect for a nice occasion when I want to feel feminine without a lot of florals.

    Sudha Segara

    I recieved an imp of this from a very generous forum member (Thanks!) At first, when I sniffed the imp, I was afraid it wouldn't work on me. Too much spice, not enough creaminess. However, the moment it touched my skin...heaven. This is the most beautiful, creamy scent. It's very light, but luckily I'm really bad about slathering, so that works really well for me. I must get a big bottle immediately! 5/5

    Creating BPAL Gift Packs with a Theme

    With regard to sex sets, and a little dirtier, an S&M set is crying to be made: De Sade, Whip, Wanda, Severin ,Pain, Perversion Along with a pair of fuzzy handcuffs....hehe. Also, a renaissance-inspired set could be fun: Bess, Catherine, Florence, Venice, Cathedral, Lady Macbeth (or any illyria scent, really). Ooooh, and a poet's set: Languor, Absinthe, Raven, Twenty One, Highwayman and either something with opium/poppy or mata hari for the coffee. This could be served up with a cool little notebook and pen. Oo, I really like the renaissance set. I think that would be absolutely perfect for my sister. I was thinking about this one today. What about a set for coffee lovers? Put a set of imps (with coffee-like notes, of course) into a large mug with a bag of really good coffee beans. Anything warm with chocolate or vanilla.

    Creating BPAL Gift Packs with a Theme

    Ooo! I'm so glad others think this is a cool idea. I am planning a Christmas gift "sex pack" for my best friend. These are the 6 I have in mind for her: O Snake Oil Sin Lust Rapture Forbidden Fruit I think this is an interesting mix of different scents. I'm going to place it in a basket with a gift card and some *ahem* other fun stuff.

    Jester

    At first, this smelled just like strawberry bubblegum to me, but after about thirty minutes it softened down into a sweet, fruity scent. Even if it's a little loud at first, give it a shot and you may be surprised. I just love this perfume, however it is not for everyday wear. Unfortunately, the bright sweetness that I love gives my boyfriend a headache. So I doubt I'll be ordering a big bottle, but an imp of this every now and then would definitely hit the spot.
