New arrivals and the locket!

I got my big shipment in - along with a gorgeous scent locket (goldfish pool)! It looks so much better in person! And works beautifully for holding scents inside. I was using a different locket before this arrived - a rose gold one... but it seemed to have an odd smell to it... the new silver locket holds the BPAL oils without any weird smell from the metal coming through :-)   My current reigning favorite? White chocolate, mango, and buttercream. Wow. Its such an amazing scent that I ordered 2 more bottles before they went off the market (1 more for me, and 1 to use to trade).

Ordered Shanghai and Kyoto...

These wouldn't normally have been on my "to try" list - but I saw that BPAL was donating all proceeds for March purchases of those two perfumes to the Red Cross. Figured, even I don't like them - at least the money will be going to a good cause.   Still waiting on my order from the beginning of the month. Was surprised at the time differences. When I made my first order on Amazon, it was here within 1 - 1.5 weeks. It took 1-2 weeks before it was even shipped (guess the Amazon stock was pre-made, and the ordered from the Lab site is made as it's ordered?). Either way - getting closer to having my new stash in!

First posting/scent impression/anticipation

I'm very new to BPAL - but have already kind of gone overboard in trying things out. I love "O" and "Bliss". I also adore "Chimera". I like "Alice" well enough, but it's by no means close to the level of liking that I have for the first 3.   "Mouse's long and sad tale" is too flowery/planty for me. Reminds me too strongly of one of the department store type perfumes my mom used to wear many years ago. I wanted to like it, based on the reviews - but my nose is not in agreement.   "Black Pearl" is meh on me. I think I'd possibly wear it at about the same rate as "Alice" - maybe a little less.   From these I've decided I'm definitely a "Foody". Give me honey and other sweet, sugary scents. I'll pass on the plants, musk, patchouli, and whatnot. Additionally - all my life I've been on a lookout for a perfect rose scent. Based off my preference for sweet scented things - decided to give the Faith & Hope set a shot. Although - if it turns out to be a favorite, I'll be sad when it's no longer available. Didn't keep me from ordering it or some of the other LEs though. My reasoning is that if I find I love them, with some help I should be able to find the normally carried oil perfumes that might match up or at least be in the category of things I like a lot - and if I don't like them - they're LEs, so it should be potentially easy to re-home them.   I am currently eagerly awaiting the arrival of:   Womb Furie Delirium Bon Vivant Lemon-scented Sticky Bat Box of Chocolates: Fig and Tamarind Box of Chocolates: White Chocolate Mango Buttercream Nymphia Young Pine Saplings Hope and Faith: Siamese Twin Perfume Set   It has now dawned on me that of these, only two of them are regularly sold scents. Doesn't exactly bode well - but I do love having a lot of options to change things out from day to day. A large stash of delightfully tasty smelling perfumes should keep me happy for a loooong time to come.   I definitely suspect that within the next couple of months I will probably have some 5ml bottles and many imps up for swapping
