I enjoy BPAL a whole bunch! Unfortunately now my collection has grown past my wearing ability. Have any of you experienced that? I have rarer stuff that I don't really wear but can't seem to let go either.

Re: Any other BPAL fans on the board?

I was extremely surprised and pleased with the shipping time of a recent order. I ordered one bottle of a scent and received it in the mail one week later! I have never experienced shipping this fast from BPAL. Let's hope this is the beginning of their norm and not just a trend!

Re: Any other BPAL fans on the board?

I'm one big BPal fan. I can't believe how fast I've become addicted. Of course, I was always unsatisfied with just one thing, scent, flavour, stye of dress, tattoo etc. I'm in Canada and so I go to the BPal Madness site to buy the bottles and Imps, so it's better for mail time or maybe the same. Also, I might add that it is $11.00 shipping fee for Canada, so for now I won't be doing an order straight from them, but the round about way, if you know what I mean.

Once I discovered Blood Amber, I was gone. I love the Dragon's Blood resin used in all the Ars Draconis collection and some in others. I love Amber, Myrrh, resins because they become stronger and stay longer in the skin. Then I found myself loving Lilies, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang of course, Patchouli, all the Musks (and they aren't used from animals, which really makes that cool for me being a vegetarian, trying to be Vegan). I can't say enough about BPAL perfume oils. There is a scent for every mood you have. That's the way I like it.

Re: Any other BPAL fans on the board?

Yay for BPAL! My name is widdershins on the BPAL boards, coincidentally hehe. Is anyone doing the Inquisition? $49 seems like a steal for a bath oil, perume, AND room spray.
Oh and some of my favorite BPALs are Phoenix Steamworks, Viola, and Aquarius (the newer version). For some reason I can't get enough of Beth's metal note. Brass, gold, rusty copper gimme gimme!

Hiya widdershins, I'm mandragora over on BPAL.org too. Nice to 'see' you here as well.

My plea is for L'Estate, what about you?

Re: Any other BPAL fans on the board?

You guys are so well versed in the notes and can describe what you like so well! That's the thing, I'm not good with the notes, I just know what appeals to my sense of scent. I do know that I typically love the incensey, "head shop" kind of scents, and I like musky stuff, too.

I'd not heard about the Inquisition. I'm off to check that out!

Re: Any other BPAL fans on the board?

I haven't taken a good look at the Inquisition yet, I'm afraid I'll fall in love and *need* to buy something I really can't afford right now.

My current faves are the grassy, herbaceous scents. One to Tie, Two to Win is my hands-down, all time, ME scent and I can't find it anywhere ( leave it to me to fall head over heels for a very popular limited edition) so I use the one bottle I have sparingly. I also love Lycaon and am falling in love with the lab's chocolate and cocoa notes. Oh, and ginger, oh my gawds GINGER! Shub Niggurauth is divine!!!

What's weird is I never liked sweet fragrances from other perfumers, yet I'm finding myself consistently grabbing the sweet, foody stuff.

I have a couple of scent lockets and that increases my collections wearability considerably because I can wear a different scent each day, and my skin chemistry doesn't interfere.

Of the musky, incensey types, I love Scherezade(GC), Mme. Moriarty(CD: Act II) and the Illustrated Woman (CD: Act IV). Have you ordered/tried any from the Grindhouse Ladies yet?

There's Envy (grassy), Green Phoenix (green/herb-y) and Baneberry from Rapaccini's Garden.

Scherezade is my signature scent! My heart skipped a beat with your other mentions! I'm going to investigate these pronto.

I had an imp of Envy and I wasn't crazy about it, but maybe I'll try Green Phoenix. Seems like I recall Envy smelling too green for me.

Re: Any other BPAL fans on the board?

Whee, I know y'all! (waves to Briar, widdershins & mandragora) I show a singular lack of imagination in traveling from board to board; I'm dixiehellcat almost everyplace I land. hehe. I have been a member at the BPAL forum for over a year now...the mod at a knitting board got me hooked, actually, & I have done much enabling of others since then. Right now my faves are Dragon Moon's current incarnation, Vixen, April Fool, Upa Upa (of the Tiki Lounge), and like Briar, I lub da Shub!

When you go onto the trading post (Black Phoenix Trading Post) and click on the Seasons Inquisition, there is a link on that page that will take you to the quiz. Here is the direct link: Black Phoenix Trading Post: Four Seasons Quiz

Have fun

No problem! I just figured out they're selling Goblin Squirts of the Atmosphere Sprays! I'm so excited--I could not justify spending $40 on a room spray.

Me! Me! I love BPAL

I used to be a HUGE collector a few years back but stopped and got rid of my stash, and have just recently been trying to acquire some new ones. I am going to order sticky pillowcase soon as I love sweet scents.

I am currently obsessed with "Eat Me"

You'll have to tell me how you like it. I find all of the Halloweenies fascinating, even though extremely sweet scents don't really do it for me. I am really torn because I think I need Ichabod, but I dunno if "wool" would work on me.

Girl, just have some fun with it, buy imps whenever possible. I just bought my first "sight (smell) unseen" bottle -- actually 2 bottles, based solely upon recs for red musk (which I LOVE!) in the BPAL forums. I sure hope I'm pleased, but I believe I will be!

UPDATE: I've received my Marianne and Mme. Moriarty, the two bottles mentioned above (both from Diabolique). I LOVE them! I'm so glad I was able to pinpoint the fact that it was the red musk that I am just in love with!

Another Update: Uh-Oh, Mme. Moriarty is turning out to be a bit too patchouli-ish on me. AND... I just had to order another bottle of Marianne!

Re: Any other BPAL fans on the board?

I'm so excited to read about everyone's favorite scent. My husband introduced me to bpal after seeing an add in my BUST magazine. (Neil Gaiman series) I wear Desire mixed with Bath and Body Works sandalwood rose (discontinued but all over eBay) and I get so many compliments. Their only downside is how long it takes to receive an order. I usually get a bunch at a time to hold me over until my next order can be filled. Overall I LOVE BPAL!

Re: Any other BPAL fans on the board?

I looove BPAL, although I haven't bought anything from them in ages since I have enough to last the entire population of a mid-sized country for five years now. My favourite scent is probably Jailbait. It's so amazingly sickly sweet, which goes well with how I usually dress like a 7-year old with a substance abuse problem. Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo and Bordello are also favourites of mine. And all through November, December and sometimes January I'll wear Lick It

I really want to try BPAL, but don't know which one to get. I like warm, spicy, almond-y scents that are a bit sweet, but not extremely sugary or powdery. Any recommendations will be very welcome!!!

Re: Any other BPAL fans on the board?

The BPAL forums are a great place to get recs (I read there all the time for them). I also like warm, spicy scents, but I don't think I've tried any with almond in them. I just did a search on "almond" in the forums, as a matter of fact, and *all kinds* of stuff came up! I'm sure you'll find some scents to your liking! Be sure to let us know what you end up with and what you think.
