Lush to BPAL scent comparisons (BNever included too)
redopinion replied to Vanilla's topic in Recommendations
Consider The Great Sword of War. It's not the exactly the same, but quite compatible. -
What smells like Orofluido Hair Oil?
redopinion replied to Bambi Bloodlust's topic in Recommendations
Of the above recommended scents, I would second Dorian. It's not an exact copy by any means, though I can tell you for a fact that they match well enough and really complement each other! -
Figs and Fig Scents - alone and in combos
redopinion replied to Ina Garten Davita's topic in Recommendations
I'm looking for a present for a dear friend of mine before she moves. She goes absolutley insane for any fig scented items. In particular, she loves LOVES the Pacifica brand Mediterranean Fig scented items, but is looking to branch out from her tried-and-true perfume. She leans more towards woodsy or warmer varieties rather than sugary candy types. I'd love to give her a wonderful welcome to the world of BPAL as she begins her new journey. =) -
When I got my very first batch of imps, this was my favorite. I didn't get the strong mandarin that everyone else did. I loved it SOOOOOO much, I purchased a large one. Aha... now I smell the MEGA-SUPER-EXTRA-HAPPY-CRAZY citrus that everyone describes. After wearing it for about 20 minutes, the raw, rough, sparky madarin mellowed out to the GSofW that I remembered. I'm going to let this one age, as I suspect the Mr. Clean aspect will mellow.

I love this one, perhaps even more than my favorite - Great Sword of War. Yes, I would say it's a bit masculine, but so much that it can't be worn by a female. An aggressive, dominant, ballsy woman can wear this, or if you just need a little help to release your inner Alpha! There is a definite smokey leather going on, in the same way you would expect a smoky leather note when smelling a nice single-malt scotch. So.... it's not SMOKE and LEATHER, it's much more mellow than that, but still quite forward. I get a good buttery coconut, perhaps a combo of the tonka blended with other things. After having it on for 7 hours now, it seems very musky, very deep, but the tonka keeps it from being single-minded. Yes, this will go into my next order as a 5ml, rather than just an imp. I can personally pull this one off at work - but I'm a redhead, what can I say!

Straight out of the bottle, it smelled very sweet, and overwhelmingly like Cherry Vanilla incense. For several minutes on the skin, it still smelled this way. It's been roughly an hour now, and it has quite tamed into a mix of honey and amber with just that nice little edge of cherry. It might be my imagination, but I swear I get a bit of baker's spice far away and deep into the background. I wear Orofluida hair serum - smells quite strongly of vanilla and amber - and these two together smell just incredible. This is the first time I've found something that goes well with it!
