Hunting for the ultimate _____ blend
ImperatrixMundi replied to fatalbellydance's topic in Recommendations
The ultimate boy magnet is a high ambition, I'd really be glad if I found anything that gets more than positive indifference from my boyfriend! How about the ultimate "I want to jump my boyfriend because he smells so sexy" blend? I am still hunting for that. Any promising candidates? -
Lush to BPAL scent comparisons (BNever included too)
ImperatrixMundi replied to Vanilla's topic in Recommendations
Have you tried Bon Vivant? Smells like Rock Star without Vanilla to me and I equally hate both because both turn to a vomit-like sour smell on me. But that would still need a rather plain vanilla note to layer with it. Dance of Death has the same very deep quality as Tramp but it still smells totally different to me, sweeter and more powdery, not green at all but black/golden. And there is no orris in Tramp, I get a lot of it from Dance of Death. But I have to say I never smelled new Dance of Death because my bottle was an e-bay purchase and has to be very old since it is a blue bottle. Maybe it has changed? I bought it because of this thread and people saying they smell almost the same, Tramp is my absolute favourite Lush smell. After my initial disappointment I started to love both. -
Oh well... Inspired by a few of the reviews I decided to give my imp of Phantom an other try. It is one of those I really wanted to like but it does not happen here. In the vial there is a lot of ylang ylang with a bit of rose and a musky sweet background. Unfortunately, if you are one these people who turn dark musk into baby powder and on whom rose will kill anything else you might get the same as me. A powdery, sweet old lady rose blend. The ylang comes through during the initial stages but then it goes all wrong. This has a lot of throw too and I can constantly smell it on myself and it makes me very uncomfortable. I hope someone will take this off me and give it more love because on the right person this can be a pretty and elegant scent, it just does not go well with my skin at all.

That's great then, thank you!

Ok. Thank you for your answers! I got the thing about ccnow before. And as international customer I believe I cant use it anyway. And 9% is outragous. I was just wondering because I assume that when you pay with a credit card through paypal the lab gets charged by paypal and by the credit card company as well so they still get less money than with a payment made from the money on the paypal balance or bank account because then it would only be the paypal fees, no card fees? I dont know because I have never received any credit card paypal and the paypal website contains no information about that except their own fees.

I know this has been asked before but I am still confused. The only way for me to use paypal is with a credit card. I cant take money from my bank account and have none on my balance. Well... 1.99$ but where does that get me... So is it ok to pay with a credit card through paypal or does the lab get charged some extra fees too then? Sorry for being so daft, I am just entirely confused by paypal and their fees. And I want to place an order so badly...

Myrrh - identifying its scent, picking the best blends
ImperatrixMundi replied to aedes's topic in Recommendations
Sloth is described as vetivert over black myrrh and to me it smells exactly like very good quality pure myrrh when you burn it as incense on coal or in a burner. Bad quality myrrh smells like burnt nuts to me and is quite awful. So Sloth does not smell very perfumelike, but it is a sharp blast of myrrh and might be good to find out what myrrh is supposed to smell like. I think it is a bit like a sharp and lemony incense.
