BPAL Reviews XXXIV

[naamah_darling]

I seem to review more limited edition scents than anything else, and I just got another batch of decants today. So, to cull the herd a bit, here is a batch of LE reviews from the Black Phoenix Alchemy LabBelow are reviews of: Sol Invictus, Midnight Mass, The Winter of Our Discontent, Stardust, The Peacock Queen, The Cracked Bell, Chaos Theory III

I've based much of my shopping on your reviews, since they're so comprehensive, although the most recent batch of Imp's Ears I got were from searches using "lavender, vanilla, earl grey". I have an order for Follow Me Boy and All Night Long that is in the works, and now I want to try Oblation because of what you said!

[naamah_darling]

Thank you! That's quite flattering.

I just got a CnS from the Lab for my most recent order - Tamomo-No-Me, Blue Moon, and Pinched With Four Aces.

And I've been stalking a bottle of King of Clubs for ages, after getting my hands on a decant. Damn LE's!

PS. You don't want to see my shopping list. I don't make that much money. *sigh*

AIEEE!!!

I love that Lab package rush!

Er... Are you sure it's not bottle 796?

D = 500
CC = 200
XC = 90
VI = 6

I think...

Also: MCMOMGWTF: Hahahahahahahahahaha! :-D

Also: Creepy sounds delish and yum and all kinds of lickable. Hurrah! :-D

I think I want a bottle of Queen of Clubs. (Is it LE? It is, isn't it... Blast...)

Queen of Spades sounds nice, too, but Queen of Clubs sound divine. :-D

My shopping list - which has been my shopping list since September 'cause I haven't felt I can send the funds to Beth until I know the groceries are going to be covered:

1 Big Bottle of 'O'
+
Imps of:
Hekate
Hetarae
Skuld
Eat Me
Lilith
&
Loviatar

Hetarae and Lilith may be subject to change (switched for any of the following: Hollywood Babylon, Lady MacBeth, Scherezade, The Lion, Gluttony, or Sudha Segara). We shall see. :-)

The card trumps aren't only LE, they're old, coveted LEs. You'll have to sell a firstborn to get a bottle, methinks.

The only thing on my shopping list now is swapping my Pink Moon for a Poker Dog.

[amazon_syren]

Hmmm...

Well, alright then. I'll just have mix things and see what I come up with...

A mixture of Lady MacBeth with O, for example, might result in something similar. :-)

[naamah_darling]

You may be right about that! I'm not great at Roman numbering, and was doiung that review, IIRC, at 4 am!

And ooooooo, Scherezade and Sudha Segara are really nice; you'll defnitely want them on the list for next time!

[clockworktomato]

My shopping list is mostly to get bottles of things I've gotten in imp form and that I'm so OMGINLOVEWITH. There are so many that I forget, but Poisoned Apple and Debauchery are at the top of this list.

I've also really been enjoying the sleep formulas -- Oneroi and Temple of Dreams specifically -- but I seem to recall that you and lavender aren't the best of friends, so you'd want to stray far away from those.

I have Pannychis scribbled on a piece of paper here, which I assume means I OMG NEEDED a bottle of that, too, but now I'm going to have to dig my imp back out and find out why.

I'm trying to budget myself a bit, though, which means I'm staying as far as I can from the 60+ untried imps in my imp box. If I try them I might LIKE them and need MORE. :P

[naamah_darling]

YES. I tend to have big bottles only of LE scents, on the grounds that with GC scents, I can get more of those anytime. But even with LE purchases, it about does in my BPAL budget!

[clockworktomato]

I get to the point where I think, "Okay, I'm alright with BPAL for a while. I've got more than I can ever use and I've got a good selection of scents that I absolutely adore. I am good."

Then she releases something that I HAVE TO HAVE and I turn into a whimpering mass of no resistance. Pomegranate? Red Currant? MB: Bloody Mary? Did you HAVE to do that to me, Beth?

But I can quit any time, you know.

[naamah_darling]

That's the marching song they sing all the way to Hell, you know. *grin*

I can stop anytime I want to, too!

Instead, I'm going to go try these smelly new imps!

[ex_lark_asc]

I swear, if Beth ever brings back the Clubs and Spades scents she won't need to buy herself a drink again for the rest of her life. I would *kill* to try those.
