    Creating BPAL Gift Packs with a Theme

    I'd go for Scented Seamstress! Had another idea, hope nobody minds- A Dresden Files pack- based on the books (by Jim Butcher)- Incantation (Harry Dresden is a wizard) Tempest (the first book is called Storm Front) Loup Garou (features quite prominently in the second book- I won't say how or why) Leanansidhe (another one that features in the books, another one I don't want to spoil if you haven't read them!) Queen Mab (gives Harry a job in the fourth book, Summer Knight) Blood (Harry goes up against vampires quite frequently...) Or am I the only one that would appeal to...

    Black Pearl

    Evocative of the sea's unplumbed mysteries. Gentle and lovely, but menacing and profound. Coconut, Florentine iris, hazelnut and opalescent white musk. 'Black Pearl' in the bottle was a delicious tropical floral to me. On the skin, it took me back 15 years to when I first got interested in scent and girly things. The Body Shop had just opened in my home town, and this was very exciting for all the girls in my class. The reason Black Pearl reminds me of that is that one of the first things I bought there was coconut perfume oil, and the coconut edge to this scent on my skin was very reminiscent of that. It conjured up images of pale pink tropical flowers and splashy Gauguin paintings of island women. I loved the coconut-edged tropical flower scent at the start, through to a warm, sweet scent like coconut ice and a sugared-flower finish. This was one of my first ever BPAL oils and I'm very glad I bought a 5ml bottle, because an Imp would have been finished FAR too soon. It's an ideal summer scent, as far as I'm concerned.

    How about a Bride to Be set? Imps of: Elixir II: Succor & Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo (de-stressing for the run-up to the wedding) Dream Formula V: Somnus (a good night's sleep for the night before the wedding) Lilium Inter Spinas & Queen of Sheba for the day itself (at least, they're what I'd choose if someone was getting married in church, as one of the popular wedding readings in the UK is from the Song of Solomon, and a popular organ piece for when the bride enters is the Arrival of the Queen of Sheba) And 'All Night Long' for the honeymoon!
