BPAL order
Woo! My BPAL order came!
Besides 5 mL of Fruit Moon and imps of Bengal, Eden, and Phantom Queen, the lab threw in imps of Cordelia and The Unicorn.
I immediately put Fruit Moon on my left wrist and Bengal on my right. Bengal really made me cry. Not because it was bad! Nope, because it was so perfect and just what I needed. It smells of holidays and autumn, of baking and comfort. Exactly what I needed after this week.
The lab description: "A sultry and unruly blend that emulates the ambient scent of the markets in ancient Bengal: skin musk with honey, peppers, clove, cinnamon bark and ginger."
At first I get the white pepper and cinnamon, and love how it isn't too sweet. As it dries the honey and ginger come out, close to what Gingerbread Poppet smells like. It finally settles into a sweet murky musky smell of honey and cloves.
And witness again, silly, teary, me.
ETA: And then laughing me, who catches a whiff of honeydew melon from the other wrist and thinks the combo is crazy.
