[BPAL] New Party Game
BPAL is a lovely, lovely thing. It’s led me to other lovely perfumes, etc., but BPAL is still my favourite for variety, strength, subtlety, and sheer brilliance of scent.
However, everyone has SOMETHING that does not work on them, either because of particular physical chemistry, or other reasons.
From a previous post, you can see I’ve been testing some of the Tarots and magickal/ceremonial BPAL and TAL oils. Not all of them work as perfume on me . . . some of them do not work as perfume on ANYone.
Because it tends to delight my best friend to hear my BAD reactions to BPAL, and because there have been so many lately, I thought I’d share. I even suggested a kind of party game for on the phone among us that would go something like this:
We pull out all the magickal/ceremonial BPAL and TAL oils, get on the phone, and proceed to crack each other up while listening to each others’ reactions.
Me: Okay, I'm putting on Chokmah . . .
She: What's it smell like?
Her: I seem to have a . . . * interrupted *
Me: * wails * OMG! I SMELL LIKE A CHEEZY VOODOO STORE!
She and Her: * laughs *
Her: Hmm. Let's try Ouroboros and see how bad it smells on. AUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Me and She: * laughs hysterically *
. . . Etcetera . . .
This began back on the first time I tried Alecto. I was very ill with bronchitis. topknot may correct me, but I think my reaction was: OMG!!! I SMELL LIKE SWEATY ARMPITS!!!!!!!!!!!!! [It does NOT smell like that when I’m healthy. It’s LOVELY when I’m healthy.]
Another big baddie for me was Loviatar. It made me reek of the dirty bedsheets of the two chain-smoking sisters on The Simpsons. And I do not smoke.
Last night, I finally WORE Milk Moon 2007 (which should not be confused with its earlier version in 2005). To recap: OMG!!!!! I SMELL LIKE ROTTING AMBROSIA!!!! GET IT OFF!! GET IT OFF!!
Obviously, I need to stop using “OMG!!!” as my opening exclamation.
What have been some of your Worst Nightmare Scents? What seemed to be heaven on your friends that smelled like hell on you?
