BPAL: Maiden

Maiden Category: Ars Amatoria Quantity: sample   Description: MAIDEN A gentle vision of purity, goodness and virtue: white tea, carnation and Damask Rose.   Review:   In the bottle: This certainly smells soft and feminine! So far, it’s mostly a blend of flowers, but the white tea is a sweet touch.   Wet: Carnation, carnation, and more carnation, with a little bit of rose, and a tiny little bit of white tea.   Dry: It does stabilize during dry down, but it’s still a lot of carnation! There’s still a little bit of rose, and what I believe is a trace of white tea, but it’s very subtle.   Verdict: Overall, Maiden is a nice spring/summer scent, but you really have to love carnation to fully appreciate this one; therefore, it’s just not for me. I know white tea tends to be tasteless, but I expected more of it. But still, it’s a nice floral scent.   More reviews: Ars Amatoria: Maiden

Everything it's budding now

It has been quite a cold spring up to now, so everything it's budding at the same time. I walked in a wood last weekend, paths were so muddy sometimes I had to make my wa trough the shrubs. I saw (and picked as well, even if I don't usually, I feel flowers belong where they are) violets, primroses, windflowers, periwinkles, jonquils (what a wonderful perfume!) and tulips. There were also many peony plants, their buds were still closed but plumpy and some began to show the red parts inside. I hope in a few sunny days they'll bloom as well. Very happy, and not so bruised and mud covered as I expected.   Written a long time ago, and published today, because I forgot to when I posted it..

Mud, scratches (and wild boar den)

Peony tour today. Last week it rained heavily, so it was really muddy, and I was very proud of myself when I reached the spots where peonies grow. I almost felt ready for a survival camp! We took a side trail among peonies, far from the main one, then I saw something - big an brown - not that far away. I couldn't make out what it was exactly. Maybe a deer, but usually they're shy and flee before you realize they're there. I should have known better, the trail was covered with two-fingered paws prints, while normally there are only some of them. Quickly back to the main trail: not that ready for survival camp, after all.. No further incidents, picnic among peonies, the water music of many trickles - never seen that many before. Later on, we heard a noise in a thicket, and I saw a deer springing out of it (but judging from the noises, there were two of them); we were heard before. Perfect day, crowned by the first "balcony tea" (I love having tea outside) of the year     Photos I've shot today

Been awhile

Haven't been active here in a while, but I'm rekindling my luff of BPAL again after a hiatus of letting my oils just sit and languish in my cabinet.     And I'm spreading the BPAL love - I convinced a coworker to start trying some, too. BWAhahah! (Along with Aromaleigh cosmetics.)

Ranting and raving....

First of all.....if you're reading this, and I complain about something that you do, please don't take it personally. Just a minor pet peeve of mine.   I've noticed a trend lately with reviews. People are writing their reviews based only on sniffing the scent in the vial, not putting it on the skin. This drives me crazy. Basically, it's like judging a book by it's cover. In my experience, most scents smell totally different, or they go through changes, after they touch a person's skin. I admit, when I go to a meet 'n sniff, I don't try on every scent that I come across. I smell some of them in the bottle and make a judgment based solely on that impression. But that is different from writing a review for other people to read.   When I read a review of a scent, and the person didn't actually try it on, I write it off as completely useless to me.

haloes & mb: bloody mary rationalization

okay so --- OPERATION STAY AWAY FROM SALES FORUM has gone somewhat awry. because ive been shopping on ebay/here! NEENER NEENER   i saw a bottle of mb: bloody mary (ITS TOTALLY A HARD TO FIND AND I HAD TO - ONCE IN A LIFETIME SORT OF THING) so i bought it and then...ok thats it. ha. BUT HEY! that was only one. so sorrrryyyysss. man --- as soon as i get this other J-O-B i'm going to like SPEND A TON OF DOUGH on the velvet's and it'll totally be excusable.     anyway - still searching for lovers in a ricefield - i hope i win one on ebay and i so totally bought a bottle of haloes from 13curses on ebay. I TOTALLY FORGOT TO TELL YOU ABOUT THAT...ok so that makes it 2. muahahahahaha. THIS ONE WAS TOTALLY EXCUSABLE TOO! it's a rarity...sue me. i had to.   SO OK -- ive been a bad girl but look at it this way --- im rationalizing it by saying they are RARES and HARD TO FIND. ok?   leave me alone... neener neener   oh and the blog that follows this, its for my records cause um...i buy so much and have so many transactions going on i forget who's who. like a girl named JEN --- dont even know what her name on the forum is. IM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH MYSELF---but id so totally leave her feedback for my swap---i just accidently deleted her pm. i'll find her...I WILL!

Review Round-up!
 

Chaos Theory V - 65

LXV - 65   In the bottle: Dorian cake, pure and simple.   On wet: Dorian cake...morphing almost immediately into musky-is that fruit?-cakey-spicy-something else I can't describe-Dorian. Hmmm....not sure if I'm going to like this.   Drydown: Dorian spice cake. It's mellow, skin-hugging, and the first "clean foodie" blend I think I've ever come across. Dorian balances out the foodier aspects so that it doesn't get too cloying or overwhelming (most food-based scents are both according to my nose), and the spicy cake element helps to warm up Mr. D's much cooler, fresher side. The vanilla-sweetness amps considerably as time passes, but the spice lingers just underneath that frosting-like layer, keeping it from getting out of hand. And I'm *still* wondering if I'm catching whiffs of some kind of mystery fruit?! It's not lemon - whenever my nose detects it, my mind flashes to a red/pink fruit - but it's gone before I can latch on to what it could possibly be.   Overall: Not sure how I feel about this one so far - I absolutely love Dorian, but not so much with the spiced pastry he's got tucked away in his pocket. Overt food scents tend to make me queasy, but this one isn't hitting my ick buttons (yet), and I've kept every Chaos Theory blend I've ever ordered to date - adopting this fellow out without giving him a chance to age would seem kinda cruel. So, I guess he'll stick around until I get to know him better!
