Aevalin

This oil is the reason I was lured to BPAL in the first place - The tale of the Faery Queen Aeval wasn't all that common when I chose my online name in her honour. And then I found out about this oil blend...I had to have it, I had to love it !!

And I really do like it, although there are oils I love more I think. I get a lot of sweet pea with something green (the sage?) as it dries on my skin. Not so much Tonka. It's very pretty, just a departure for me - I usually like earthy blends - with resins and sandalwood. I'm just hoping the musk doesn't eventually turn it to Baby Powder...

I really am very fond of Mag Mell, but the husband doesn't love it as much.

In the imp it smells herby to me, just green and lovely. When I applied it, it was still green but there was a definite citrusy note. Now that it's been on for a while I'm getting more of the ginger (and I love ginger). This is a keeper for me, I'll just wear it to work instead of for romance

This was my very first BPAL imp ever sampled (and this is my first review ! ). At first when I sniffed it in the imp I thought it was much too strong for me. I couldn't smell almonds at first, but as soon as it touched my skin it was very apparent. In the first few minutes I thought it was going to be too strong for me, but after 5 or 10 minutes it mellowed to a dark mellow musk with a touch of almond. This one is a keeper
