  1. I am deeply in love with this one. I got the imp last week and have been using it eversince.. Somehow it is the summertwinsister of my beloved Spooky, it's Spooky with a hint of lemon :P

    Must be the coconut, cause I adore that note. Can it be it contains mint as well? when i put it on it gives a cold tingle on the skin for a while.

     

    *adds on order list for a 10ml*


  2. TAURUS

    April 20 - May 20

    oakmoss / rose

    sandalwood / ylang ylang

     

     

    A perfect blend! There is not realy a prominent note. As a late Taurus (20th of May) it is a scent that captures what I like in general. Heavy herby/floral with a good amount of lasting power!

     

    The scents is a bit in the line of High John and Come to Me.


  3. I have chosen this one for the name mainly, because my boyfriend is Moroccan and the many times I went there on holiday, I have really fallen in love with this beautiful country. The smell of the many, many herbs in the old Medinas are amazing, and with Old Morocco I was hoping to find it's scent captured in the bottle... and it did!!!!

     

    In the bottle: nothing, like the bottle is empty,?????what is going on?

     

    wet: well at least i can smell someting, sweet, faint but yummie

     

    Dry: Oh my! this is great, soft, sweet, spice absolutly capturing the scent of Morocco.It seems to come out of my skin, and become stronger and stronger Somehow it smell like my favorite dish 'Pastilla' chicken with canelle, powder sugar covered with filo pastry. :P

    I has great lasting power even it was so soft and faint to begin with.

    after some hour it reminds a bit of Samsara by Guerlain (my old fav )


  4. Another to my favorite list! :P

     

    For all the Bodyshop Dewberry lovers... this is the grown up, evil version of Dewberry.

     

    Mouthwatering fresh and soft at the same time.

     

    Good for spring and summer.

    Also a light happy scent, good when you find lots of oils too overpowering. This stays very close to the skin.

     

     

    I think I need to buy a 10 ml bottle because it fades very quick :D


  5. This one brought memories of being a teenager.

    I used to use a special facial soap from Israel to combat acne. The soap smelled EXACTLY like Julliet, very very soft and floral.

    Somehow there is a bit of smell from the sea in there, a rocky coast with wet rotting salty seaweed. Maybe it's a false associaltion because the Israelien soap contained dead sea mud...

     

    Cannot detect any pear.

     

    It's a keeper for sure


  6. Another favourite!

     

    After liking Katharina so much, I put March hare on my wishlist and a lovely swap make the wish come through.

     

    The abricot is strong in this one but it has a more masculine backtone with the clove. I would call it the male version of Katharina. When I say male i mean it fits also to the male side of a woman. Those days when you feel more manly comming out.

     

    It smells like candles too, as my colleques remarked


  7. to me some BPAL scents are more or less similar and I would like to know which ones you have found similar. This can help to find a scent you like even more with the same notes.

     

    Oke, i stop babbling, here are some examples:

     

    Snake Oil- Golden priapus

     

    Katharina-March Hare-depraved -Tamora

     

    Come To Me-High John the Conquror

     

    Burial-Omen-Old Rome

     

    Vixen-ravenous-lust

     

    to some extend:

    Blue moon and cathode (or is it because i store then togeter in the same drawer?


  8. Lovely, soft! Has a good staying power

     

    It reminds me a little of my other favorite scents High John and Come to me

     

    Like other stated before, it´s too well blended to pick a single not.

     

    This is a bottle in a next order! Can imagine this on a summerevening :P


  9. Don't bother at price increases!!! You are still waaaayyyy better priced that the "Chanel bros' If fact for one bottle of Chanel 5 we get approx. 2 5ml and set of Imps!

     

    Very happy to see the new scents as well... Just today finished with composing a little order :P

    But the huge spring order will have to wait till the new scent are out.. MUST have Beltane :D :D
