thanks. i will have to try to get my hands on that one. i would return this favor with a recommendation for you, but, sadly, i don't know enough about bpal to help you out. sorry, lady.

well, this seems fun. i haven't ordered from bpal in a long time, so i guess i'll give this a go. i'm ellie. i'm a playwright and part-time bartender, so i'm almost completely nocturnal. i'm a former geologist. i'm sarcastic, cynical, and outspoken. i talk like a sailor. blame my new jersey roots. i have a pretty dominant personality, to say the least. i'm a fighter, quite literally. i get into a lot of fights. i can't deal with idiots and they don't like when i call them out and i don't back down easily. i don't trust people who don't smoke. i'm obsessed with death and i really love funeral homes and cemeteries. i also love glittery, shiny things. drag queens are the best ever. my favorite movies are the shining, the royal tenenbaums, and the silence of the lambs. as for music, i like alternative, rock, dance, electronic, house, and cher...because cher is a genre. my favorite food is granny smith apples and my favorite drink is diet coke. also whiskey.

i know this is a long shot, but i just adore 1000 by jean patou. does anyone know of a similar bpal fragrance? Top: bergamot, coriander, eucalyptus, angelica Middle: osmanthus, rose, jasmine, violet Base: sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver, civet

citrus. i assume it's lime. it's strong, but not off-putting and lightens up significantly after a few minutes. i can also smell the lilac, but it's faint on me.

very very floral. i mostly smell rose both in the bottle and on my skin. it's quite feminine, in my opinion.

my first impression is that it's fruity, but also has other scents (that i can't pinpoint) to cut the fruity-ness so it's not overpowering. it's pretty sweet and remind me a little of sweettarts candies. it's not very strong on my skin, so it's pretty nice. it's not one of my favorites, but i like it.

i'm usually not a big fan of fruity scents, but this one is amazing. at first it's overwhelmingly apple-smelling, but not a sickening fake apple smell like most mainstream apple perfumes. it actually smells like i just bit into an apple. lovely. a few minutes after i put it on i started to smell the other notes. the apple is still very prominent though. overall, i really like this and recommend it to anyone who likes the smell of fresh apples.

this scent is very sweet with a hint of...artificial fruit or something. to me, it smelled exactly like the red tootsie roll pops i used to eat as a kid. it's not a terrible smell, but i don't really want to walk around smelling of candy. in short, it's not for me, but would be good for someone who really loves red tootsie pops.

this scent reminds me a lot of my grandfather. i think it's from the tobacco and oak. it's a very warm scent and quite masculine. i don't get much of the vanilla, which maybe would've helped it to smell less manly, but i don't know. my boyfriend says it reminds him of the really weird eighty-something man in his his college theatre class. i don't think i'll be wearing it again anytime soon.

this is quite possibly my new favorite scent. i can't really pinpoint specific notes, but i will say that it brings memories of vatican city, which is suppose it kind of strange. i think it is because the smell is somewhat reminiscent of the incense the catholic churches use. it is not overpowering because the incense-y smell is balanced by something earthy. sorry, but that's the best i can describe it. i really love it though and, in my opinion, it is worth trying out.

i'm a huge fan of absinthe (the drink), so i HAD to try the bpal scent. it pretty much smells exactly like absinthe verte and it's wonderful. the anise is very strong at first, but eases up after a few minutes of wearing it. the only problem with this scent is that it doesn't last very long. i definitely need to re-apply throughout the day. overall, i would definitely recommend this for anyone who loves absinthe or licorice.
