Will Dorian return? 🥺

Any dupes for LUSH Winter Garden? It is ylang ylang, benzoin, and bergamot, according to LUSH.

thank you, everyone. best online community ever, hands down!

Should I be shaking them first? I've noticed that a few of them smell exactly the same to me in the imp & on my skin, just straight up cherry/almond. Could they have gone off or maybe they've just settled & they need to be mixed up? But then I read about travel shock and perhaps jostling them isn't a great idea. I'm overthinking this, aren't I.

Dang. After getting through a couple of imps of 'Tis the Voice of the Lobster, I decided I liked it enough to order a bottle.. But instead of the woods & red fruits I enjoyed, it is much more strongly musk & mandarin. Really don't like citrus on me, I am disappoint..

oh no! maybe it has to sit awhile? =\

Does anyone keep BPAL in their purse/pocket/backpack/saddle bag/fanny pack/Bag of Holding? Any tips or tricks that can keep me from potential disaster? I suppose imps would be the wisest option, but I don't have any empty ones.

Woah, thank you! ♥ I have an imp of Aizen-Myoo, I will give that one a test this weekend! And now I have a bunch more scents to add to my research. I feel like I have fallen down a very expensive rabbit hole lol

sprout. you are like my BPAL fairy godmother, always helping me here. thank you.

My skin eats scent so I like to carry some oils with me but I guess that's out, at least for the wandcapped one. Maybe the reducers will work!

I received a wandcapped oil that leaks, and now I'm noticing that wandcapped is added at the end of some listings almost like a warning. Do they all leak?

I hope this is a good place to ask this. Can anyone tell me more about the Lunacy events? I know the one they had recently was hosted by BPAL, but it seems like the others *might* be held by fans?
I'm in NYC which seems to be sorely lacking in BPAL-ness! Is there something I may have missed? I plan to stop by Gothic Renaissance at some point, hopefully.

 

Is there a GC scent with a genuine Sakura note? The cherry that comes from almond oil doesn't play well with my skin, but I would love a cherry *blossom* note!

Have you tried Kyoto?

 

I have not! Thank you for the suggestion. The "anise" note scares me, but it sounds imp worthy!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I thought it was better than making a whole new one! I'm not sure whether I should buy reducer caps or wand caps. Won't I contaminate the oil either way? I feel like I would have less of a chance of losing a bottle to my clumsiness with a reducer cap. Thank you for any input/preferences you can offer!

 

Hi! I hope this is the right place. If I have two samples of an oil & they're different colors, is it most likely a batch difference or is one probably just older than the other? Which one would you keep?

What scent is it, if I might ask?

 

Hi! There are several; Blood Kiss, Dragon's Milk, Aizen-Myoo, Lilium Inter-Spinas, Bastet, off the top of my head. There could be a few more.
