-
imp: amber and some orangeyness~ skin: HELLO JASMINE MY LUFF. i don't really have anything else to say.........after that jasmine kicks in on me, that's all i get other than some rose. jasmine LOVES my skin. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BLEND!!!
-
imp: woah hello nutmeg. skin: nutmeg...very spicy. reminds me a LOT of bengal. i love bengal.
-
imp: weird florals...with the frankincense skin: wood. some florals peek in after a few minutes. reminds me of a really old and beautiful building. layered, i would wear this scent. i don't want to smell like wood, and only wood. nice frimp! hehe
-
fruity booze! it's a little too crisp for me though...my nose doesnt like crisp or overly ozone scents. :/ *gives it awhile* gets more fruity and less crisp as it dries. might age it or something.
-
i thought there was patchouli in this at first. but once it dried it was a woody herbal blend, some sweetness hanging out in there. i smell mint leaves that i used to eat as a kid in it i'm not sure i would wear this a lot...but it's nice to just put on my wrists while putting a more floral or spicy perfume on the rest of me.
-
imp: florals? but not violets...maybe the hyssop. skin: ylang ylang with frankincense. i get no violet. YAY. it appears after a few minutes, but it's a nice, not overpowering violet. this blend is a little powdery on me, but i like it. i didn't really expect to like it, but i love emily dickinson. might want to get a bottle in the future.

imp: woo patchouli.....i ordered this from the raves of the forum members, and because i ordered the other two sisters, and couldn't leave urd out! afraid of this oil, really....overly heady scents give me AND my mother headaches. and i already have one. skin: yay patchouli. though my skin amps that stuff like no other...let's wait a few minutes.......a minute or two later, SOMETHING is trying to peek through....i think its the muscadine. i'm sorry urd...but i can't keep you... my head just can't take it.
-
imp: smells just like the ingredients. ODD. i dont think i've ever smelled an imp/bottle that i can pick out every ingredient in it. skin: i don't smell a lot of apples. but that's okay, because i like it otherwise. going to keep watch to see if they appear. yea, two minutes later they appear. it's a nice oil, but i'm not sure if i like it enough to keep it.
-
wow!! i expected this to be all honey on me. it's lovely. imp: honey. honey, honey, honey. finger: honey, with the egyptian musk stuff. i smell.......amber? maybe thats ylang ylang. i never really knew how it smelled other than its sweet and yummy. i'd like a bottle of this. really lovely.
-
imp: lemon! WHOAH LEMON finger: lemon and lime. reminds me of the first stage of Carnaval Diabolique gonna let this one dry a little. before this even hits through the stages i can tell i like it. i love lemon, and for some reason it does NOT go lemon pledge/sol/soap/whatever on me often. *knocks on wood* the only problem i've had is gamaliel sometimes goes a little powdery on me but i think that's musk, not lemon.
-
this is odd D: ginger.......i don't like ginger but i keep smelling my hand? its floral! it must be the jasmine trying to peek in. come on full force, jazzy! and in a few minutes, it does! yay! i love the frimps beth sends me! <3
-
ok this smells like almond, the kind of almond i can't stand. where is my honey?! just an odd patchouli for me...:/ i was looking forward to this scent...many people recommended it to me. maybe layering with eve or o, or delphi would help...i dunno.

Inspired by and created for my beloved Tedwin: my eternal, beautiful, wicked Dorian Gray. Refined, elegant, and lovely, with a noble bearing and seemingly gentle air. This blend is an artful deception: a sweet gilded blossom lying over a twisted and corrupted core. A Victorian fougere with three pale musks and dark, sugared vanilla tea. omggg, this is such a subtle scent but it is so oh my fucking god SEXY. vanilla honey tea.........i can just picture dorian gray wearing this while sitting for the famous portrait. omfggggg *fangasms*
-
bottle: CANDY finger (ran outta places.....): lemon and coconut candy.......a little orangeness. very odd. please come out soon, opium/musk! a bit later...didn't time it, i can smell a little underlying musk/opium. yay!
-
well i definitely feel/smell like i am at a dark swamp, or something. it smells flowery...but i don't know what it is! maybe it's the ozone. LOTS of ozone. i don't really like that but...i dunno. o_O it's a 'soap' oil. but i just got an imp, really just to scent my cthulhu plushie, and it's not a bad scent so i guess it was a good deal! can't do a bottle of it...i may ask my bro to see if he likes it when he comes home for christmas, however. btw the plushie smells like soapy seaweed!
-
oh this stuff is good. in the bottle it smells like.......well a really nice grape cough syrup. on me it still smells a little cough syrupy, but it dries a little and i get the grape/plum and fig. a little later i can smell a little violet, because that is very 'green' to me. about 30+ minutes after it dries down the myrrh comes out and its a lovely, dusty purple scent. it's only on my wrist and i can't imagine what it'd be on me regularly. my mom said it was a light scent, and i agree. so i'll have to slather it.

Allergy Questions, Allergies and other reactions to oils
klavierbarrette replied to friendthegirl's topic in BPAL FAQs
allergic to anything in a spray bottle, usually. only thing i've had a problem with when using bpal is sometimes my skin breaks out or if its a REALLY heady scent, i get instant headaches. and i dunno what was in snow moon that gave me a headache. -
Dublin is very wet and green, but i didn't suggest it because it's just too...pine or fir or whatever tree that is (i could never take evergreens...not even a real christmas tree T_T). but if you like those notes, it's probably worth a try, trillkey!

Snake Oil Help! Layering it, Snake Pit scents, blends with Snake Oil
klavierbarrette replied to spaceprostitute's topic in Recommendations
moriarty is a toned down version of it. VERY lovely. it's like a version of snake oil that i can stand (the musk and patchouli in snake oil just made me cough and wheeze. i got no vanilla ) also third dragon's heart and lampades, though they do not smell at all like snake oil to/on me. two of my fave blends, however! -
I second Lady of Shallot!

*even more impatient to get her bottle now*

Best scents for performing, public speaking, anytime on stage
klavierbarrette replied to Nia's topic in Recommendations
you definitely don't want to wear something with a big throw! it will divert your audience. also second that if you have a favorite, a scent that makes you feel calm, or just really 'in charge', you might want to go with that! -
General citrus recommendations - and discussion of all things orange
klavierbarrette replied to UltraViolet's topic in Recommendations
i forgot to mention some! oh, and i'm just mentioning the citrus notes and some others that i could pick out on my skin. akuma - pretty much orange all around, with a hint of raspberry. this is a really beautiful citrus scent. casanova - there's bergamot and lemon in this. if it weren't for the leather and patchouli in this, i'd like it. on a man, though, i'd really like it. however, my friend thinks it smells like a regular store bought cologne (i swapped it to her in hopes she'd put it on her boy ). titus andronicus - bergamot and neroli. it turns kinda powdery (it was the musk, probably) on me, but it's a lovely scent. some compare it to snake oil, but i never got that. i just noticed casanova has lavender, but it would probably be hard to pick out, since it has a lot of stuff in it.
