It's been quite a while since I've ordered any BPAL scents. Long enough that I think my preferences have changed, so I'm making a list of imps to try. Plus, I feel like the catalog has gotten ENORMOUS since I last bought anything, so I'm a bit overwhelmed. Especially with the search feature under construction. DX
I was wondering if anyone has found any scents that are similar to Dove's "Nectarine and White Ginger" spray. Or Bath and Body works' aromatherapy line "Energy: Orange Ginger" spray. The dove is a sweeter ginger smell, probably the "nectarine" in it, and reminds me of a fresh but not-too-bright burst of sunlight. The Orange Ginger spray, on the other hand, is a much bolder, deeper, and spicier ginger smell--I'm just in love with it at the moment.
In the past I've really liked Tempest. I've found that patchouli and some musks don't typically clash well with me, nor do bright floral scents. Anything that smells remotely like mainstream perfume is a firm Ick in my book. I guess I typically find more luck with slightly masculine scents, or at least those deeper kinds of scents, or more earthy, leathery smells. I'm an avid equestrian, so anything that smells of leather or hay is delicious, lol. I have read through the leather scent thread here, and I'm definitely going to order an imp or two from that recommendation thread. Otherwise, I really like rain, damp earth, black cherries, darker citrus, verbena, pine-woods (but not actual pine, haha), the smell of books.
Any thoughts?
Also, if it makes a difference for suggestions, I typically wear my scents via locket, simply because I live with people who are very sensitive.
Thanks in advance. I'm SOOO excited to get back into BPAL! =)
