    Scent Rec for Halloween Costume - Artist's Studio Model!

    Since I was running late and my roommates had torn up the house decorating for Halloween so I couldn't find anything, I just went with my Snake Oil bath oil. Thanks everyone for the suggestions! Jo

    Scent Rec for Halloween Costume - Artist's Studio Model!

    Thank you! The friend I'm going to the party wit said she doesn't think anyone will be able to smell me anyway...she doesn't know the power of BPAL, lol! Jo

    Scent Rec for Halloween Costume - Artist's Studio Model!

    Thank you! I sent my frimp of Smokestack to a friend, who gifted it to someone else. At this late date, I might have to sneak into a local artist's studio and roll around on the floor, lol! All my artist friends are in Dallas, halfway across the country from me. Jo
  5. My friends are having a Halloween party next week, and the theme is "inspired by art". The costume I decided on is "Pre-Raphaelite Artist Model on Break". If you've ever spent any time in a painter's studio, you know the particular blend of smells - linseed oil, turpentine, canvas, charcoal, dust. I want to add this element to my costume without having to acquire the individual components and risking creating an overwhelming stench by trying to mix it up myself! Is there a BPAL or BPTP blend that has what I'm looking for? Thanks in advance! Jo (edited for correct term)

    The Great Python Snake

    The Great Python Snake (Motherhood 2016/Liliths 2016) Straight from the Lab, so not aged; allowed to sit for a few hours. Tried on right inner elbow. In the bottle: Green and kind of spicy. On, wet: Still green and spicy, very much like fresh greenery. Drying: ...there are animals in this jungle! And now they’re peeing. In the jungle. As they do. And they’re wearing lemony-smelling flowers...tropical blooms? Wow, this is a weird one! After 20 minutes: Still getting a sort of lemon-pee impression. Not much greenery now. Overall impressions: It’s not *bad*, just strange...and I’m not disliking it. It might end up being a room scent, which is what I got it for. I need to see how it ages. ETA: Just to clarify, the pee note went away after a while, but I can't describe the scent now. Jo

    Spider Witch

    Spider Witch (Motherhood 2016/Liliths 2016) Straight from the Lab, so not aged; allowed to sit for a few hours. Tried on left inner elbow. In the bottle: Chocolate and smoked patchouli...this smells super delicious! On, wet: A little bit of caramel comes out. Drying: Salted caramel? Also a little patchouli. Then caramel was scared away by leather. Ooooh, hello hot guy in leather! Where did *you* come from? After 20 minutes: We should just call this one Spider and have done with it. Overall impressions: I seriously need to find a man to put this on. Until then, I’ll be in my bunk. Jo

    San Cristóbal de la Habana

    Straight from the Lab, so not aged; allowed to sit for a few hours. Tried on left wrist. In the bottle: Fresh juicy coconut meat and some other soft scents, with a hint of soapiness. I don’t get any salt or fruit. On, wet: The notes all blend together and I can no longer make out any specific scents. Overall impression of sweet nuttiness, but still soft. Drying: Getting a little more soapiness, but otherwise about the same. Not much throw. After 20 minutes: Only a hint of coconut soap remains. Overall impressions: I am a bit hesitant to try slathering while the bottle is fresh (hate soapy notes so much), so I think I’m going to let it age and see what it does. Jo

    Dracul

    I got an imp of this for my husband. The morning he tried it, I had left for work before he put it on...he emailed me later saying "Ew ew ew, I smell of baby powder!" He hates baby powder. So much that he emailed me several more times to say that he couldn't wait to get home and wash it off. Poor hubby. I decided to give it a try myself, just a dab on the wrist. Wow, it has a lot of throw! unfortunately, on me it smells like baby powder with a few spices. Hubby does not want. Poor Dracul...to the swap with him!

    Vampire Tears

    I first got this as a frimp from the lab. I never would have given it a chance otherwise. In the imp: Ooooooh...are you sure I can't drink this? It's sort of like butterscotch. On me: Still kind of butterscotch, with a touch of fruit. Very light; I have to slather to be able to smell it after an hour. I wore it every day, layering it with other oils until it ran out. I was sad. So I ordered a 5ml! Love --Josephine (Edited for name change)

    Midnight Kiss

    This was a frimp from the Lab. In the imp and on me, it smells like root beer. Once in a while, I get a whiff of cocoa. I don't think it's for me. --Josephine (Edited for name change)
