I blame amezri for inadvertently starting what seems a burgeoning obsession with BPAL perfume oils... 6 imps ordered (Aeval, Blood Kiss, Blood Pearl, Depraved, Snake Oil and Ultraviolet) with plenty more on the wish list. Eeeeeeee... come soooooooon!

YAY! :D Snake Oil is lovely -- I want to get a bottle of it. Ultraviolet was not really my favorite, but if you like it, I have an imp I can send your way.

Snake Oil was a last-minute substitution, on strength of the description saying it was a best-seller. Ultraviolet I'm not sure about, either, but I wanted to try something in a bit cooler range than the others, just for contrast...

p.s.-- how do *you* apply it? (see lutraphile's comment below...

[amezri]

Ack, sorry. I have been very delinquent with comments lately.

Ultraviolet was a bit too sharp for me, but a lot of people seem to like it well enough.

I just apply straight from the imp or bottle. Either to my hair (it lasts longer) or on my neck.

Hey, no prob. Thanks for the info! I've gotten my first order and been sniff happy, now waiting for order 2 to come in (eep). I'm going to have to spreadsheet this stuff to keep track.

Ultraviolet was not bad. It made me smell like Choward's Violet Mints. Which is a scent I actually quite like, though fairly intense. I think I'm going to try making it into a spray.

Not sure if you're into any of the other scents I mentioned (plus Gluttony, I got it as a freebie. It smelled nice in the imp, but HORRID on me) but I'm probably going to start swapping now that I have a few, and wouldn't mind trading something for your UV.

And yes, Snake Oil drove my boy mad. I hear it ages well, too. Bottle on the way ;)

[amezri]

*facepalm* I am such a tool. I'd already given my Ultraviolet to cassiejamie months ago. I really should check my list before I speak :x I'll let you know when I update my list; maybe there will be something else you want.

Gluttony smelled horrible in the imp, so I didn't even try it on me. I was expecting chocolate; that is not what I got.

[bookishgrrl]

No prob! It was nice of you to even offer in the first place...

(Heh. Yeah, not chocolate. Gluttony made me reek of 'Yankee Candle Store', overpowering buttercream & hazelnut. O.o )
