BPAL, again
So, my BPAL order showed up today, MUCH earlier than expected. It took just 2 weeks! A pleasant suprise to round out my Monday :).
I got:
VICE - A deep chocolate scent, with black cherry and orange blossom.
DANA O'SHEE - Offerings of milk, honey and sweet grains.
JACK - True Halloween pumpkin, spiced with nutmeg, glowing peach and murky clove.
HARLOT - Somalian rose, Moroccan rose and Bulgar rose with a sultry dribble of cinnamon.
WHIP - Black leather and damp red rose.
HELLCAT - Hazelnut, buttercream, honey mead, rum and sweet almond.
Plus they sent me 2 bonus imps:
TZADIKIM NISTARIM - Also called the Lamed Vev, two letters in the Hebrew alphabet that translate to the number thirty-six. In this violent, ugly, strife-riddled world of ours there are thirty-six men, the Hidden Just Men or Hidden Saints, who bear on their shoulders the burden of all our pain, sorrows and sins. The Tzadikim Nistarim move in obscurity, and are usually found among the poor, the downtrodden and the meekest among us, and are chosen for this task because of their righteousness, stalwart sense of genuine justice, and the true goodness of their souls. When one of these men dies, God chooses another to take his place. It is for their sake and for love of them that God does not destroy His imperfect creation. As long as the Lamed Vav serves humanity, the world will continue to plod on, but once one of them dies and God cannot find another worthy to take his place, the world will be destroyed. In Qabala, the thirty-six men of the Tzadikim Nistarim together combine to symbolize the seventy-two bridges, corresponding to the seventy-two names of God, that connect the concealed and revealed worlds of our universe. The scent is one of unadulterated spiritual purity, with a taste of the world's eternal pathos, and the joy of suffering with grace: frankincense, olive, spikenard, hyssop and galangal.
BLOCK BUSTER - Used to open up options in your life, overcome obstacles, and create opportunities. This blend increases your potential for success, inspires creativity and quick thinking, and helps you to be more flexible, adaptable and open to change.
Somewhat uplifting choices, I think. Seems fortuitous to me.
I opened Vice to sniff it, but got oil on me, so I put it on and just sniffed the others closed. I think I am in love with them. *dreamy sigh* They all smell good, so I'll just try each one soon. I even kinda like the bonus ones. Now I just need to pick a locket, if I'm to go that route. With incoming tax money, I need to deside what I'm going to splurge on. Might get 6 more imps... ;)
Current "top 18" wishlist:
GLUTTONY - Dark chocolate, vanilla, buttercream, and hops with pralines, hazelnut, toffee and caramel.
BON VIVANT - An effervescent blend of crystalline champagne notes and sweet strawberry.
JOLLY ROGER - Sea spray with an undercurrent of leather, Bay Rum, and salty, dry woods.
ZOMBI - Dried roses, rose leaf, Spanish moss, oakmoss and deep brown earth.
QUEEN OF SHEBA - Her scent is a bounty of golden honeyed almonds and a whisper of African and Middle Eastern spices.
MISKATONIC UNIVERSITY - The scent of Irish coffee, dusty tomes and polished oakwood halls.
PLUNDER - tea leaf, cassia, cinnamon bark, clove, allspice, sandalwood, tobacco, peppercorn, and nutmeg.
BORDELLO - Bawdy plum with amaretto, burgundy wine and black currant.
JABBERWOCKY - An earthy yet buoyant scent: pine, eucalyptus and orange.
TITANIA - white grape, white peach, iced pear, musk rose, sweet pea, moonflower and snapdragon.
SHANGHAI - The crisp, clean scent of green tea touched with lemon verbena and honeysuckle.
DRAGON'S HIDE - Dragon’s blood, leather and a hint of smoke.
BEWITCHED - blackberry, sage, green tea, wild berries and dark musk.
SUDHA SEGARA - Sweet milk and warm, healing ginger with a touch of golden honey and our blend of Ambrosia.
THE RED QUEEN - Deep mahogany and rich, velvety woods lacquered with sweet, black-red cherries and currant.
EDEN - fig leaf, fig fruit, honeyed almond milk, toasted coconut and sandalwood
PORT-AU-PRINCE - the rich scent of buttered rum flavored with almond, bay, clove and sassafras.
PERSEPHONE - Pomegranate and rose.
OK, tired and baby's down. I should sleep now, heh. Night all!!
