Concupiscentia

I tend to have problems with commercial perfumes, and hardly any with Bpal. Some of the jasmines do give me headaches, so I avoid those.

It reminds me of Blood Moon, one of my favorites, It's the spicy, musky feral thing, but this is black, while Blood Moon is red. BM always made me feel like a Vampire out on the hunt having a feeding frenzy, but this is a calmer vampire exuding a laid back confidence. Count Dracula is extremely sexy, he combines the energy and vitality of a youth with the wisdom and experience of age like only a vampire can. Sometimes I smell a whiff of soap, which is the ginger...I guess the Count likes to bathe...

Count Dracula is not overly masculine on me, but I am the great feminizer . It is warm, musky and dark with a bite.

Lex Talionis is also quite bitter. Count Dracula has such a lovely bite...

I liked the idea of rose and leather, but this is just rose on me A nice rose, but I prefer something more complex.

This is not something I would have chosen for myself, but I got it as a freebie with an ebay order I thought the cherry would be overpowering, but this smells sexy, fruity and exotic. It's very quirky and individual, a good once in a while scent.

It smells a bit soapy at first but then turns into a love refreshing herbal rose with some creamy mint in it. Frankly, this is the first bpalrose that does not turn to plain soap or plain rose. I'm not sure I need a bottle, but I'm happy to have this imp

How about Undertow?

Soft, floral, reminds me of violets, but red violets if they would exist. It's a bit powdery/soapy on me. Quite clean and not sexy, but still nice.

This is soo nice. It suits any occasion, really. It's spicy, smoky, creamy, sweet, sexy and cuddly. I'm so glad I ordered a bottle. It also layers well with O, Morocco, Sherezade, Dana O'Shee. I can see why it's so popular.

This one smelled very pleasant in the bottle, but turned to pure soap om my skin.

I like this one a good deal. Morocco is one of my faves and this is similar: creamy, floral, sweet and spicy. The difference is that Morocco is dusky pink and Et Lux Fuit is golden yellow. A very sunny, feminine and lovely scent.

This is one of my favorite BPAL's. It has the feel of Morocco, Sherezade and Dana O'Shee but this is definitely cool weather and/or night. It gives me the impression of a supersexy predator prowling through an autumn forest, most likely a Vampire. Cinnamon, red musk and spicy grains in a base of warm creamy sensuality. A scent of plenty, of power and of lust.

ELF, Gennivre and Brides of Dracula are pert of my pending orders...

I have a bottle of Ylang-ylang EO and it smells *very* different for BPAL's YY blends. The one in my bottle smells like a flower covered in warm resin and BPAL's YY smells fairly light and green to me. Is this an aging thing ?

How about putting the preciousss on a handkerchief for him to put in his pocket? That way it will not irritate his skin.

It's bright limegreen when wet, herbs and citrus and florals and utter cleanliness with the threat of soapyness. I almost put it in the soapy scents ziplock baggy...Then it becomes lovely and ungraspable and shifting. I smell a crisp, bonedry white wine, green herbs and florals, limezest, orange sugar and burned matches. It smells feminine on me, the unflowery floral that does not go soapy. I must have strange chemistry to do that. This is evil, not dark at all...but a whiff of mystery and freshness with the undertone of utter wrongness. The person you meet at the park on a morning in May whom you never expect to be a vampire untill bitten.

This one seems to really worked on me as a love potion and man attractant. I wore this to a lecture and the two guys next to me contantly gave me the eye, and leaning into my personal space, they were sort of recommending themselves. That was a nice flirty moment...both guys were handsome and physically my type, tall, brown hair blue eyes...Havent noticed them in that way before...hmm maybe it works on both sexes... But I digress. Morroco is all sweet and spicy and lovely. It is far more perfumy than other foody scents, but that makes it a nice different love potion, a sophisticated tool of seduction.

When I smelled this in the imp, I thought "Ugh, sharp almond essence" but my curiosity got peeked when I read it smelled similar to Dana O'Shee, which worked brilliantly on me. Well, this worked very well, it grew warm and comforting on me, with a hint of sexy in it. It's a foody, spicy scent, a bit heavier than Dana, but light enough for spring or autumn, very comforting.

On Ebay I saw a set of imps of salamander undine gnome and sylph.

I think I want a big bottle of this. I love violet and this is a great violet scent when I first apply it. It dries down to smell like O, but lighter. My skin apparently likes to turn things into O,but this has less of the arousal effect. It's subtle enough for daily use but still has the vamp factor.

The ingredient list sounded so good, and it doesnt smell bad on me. But not that great either, really a standard perfume smell. I cant even tell individual notes on my skin.

Where is the cinnamon, where is the sensuality? It smells like soap on me. a nice rosey soap, but still soap. More housewife than harlot. Might make a nice roomscent, cause I like the name too much to swap this.

It smells really great on me, and I could not stop sniffing my wrist. However, this makes me a little too horny. I don't have a boyfriend and dont want to get myself into trouble...but damn this is good. I need something that has this effect on men, but less of it on me.

I dont normally like patchouli, but this is quite nice. It does not smell like anything sexy or kinky on me, just an earthy fruit with spices. I wont buy a bottle but wil use the imp.
