Zombi makes me feel spooky and i am more open to see weird things like shadows and feel haunted atmospheres.

Darkness feels `dark`as the scent reminds me of candles which are blown out by the wind...

I was lucky enough to recieve an Imp Ear from Spooky in my order yesterday and it smells sooo goooooooood, have not even words to describe the scent but... as we are talking Lush similarity here, this one comes very very close to After 8:30 massage bar and a little bit likeDemon in the dark.

Strange, wish I hadn't tried Spooky because love it so much it hurts to know it's not available anymore....

When wet, A strong smell of fresh gingerroot hits me ( love ginger )Really very fresh like when scraping Gingeroot with a knife

This gingerroot fades almost as soon as it touch the skin.

Dried down it´s soft herbal and complex, I cannot detect single notes although maybe a hint of vanilla. First impression: it´s a keeper

*I will update this one when worn more, as I am now just trying it out, as I got 17 samples today *

ETA: Come to Me does what it promises, but for me not in a way that it attracts handsome boys..it attracts anybody! When worn at work, all colleques are orbiting around my desk Like flies...

Well I will not wear it to work anymore but will test it out only when yummie boys are around

Don't you worry!! Everything will be fine and save and taken care of when you come back

Las Vegas is great!

Happy holiday!!!!

I spent almost two days pondering what this scent reminds me of. And yesterday evening, i got it!...

It´s slightly similar to Guerlain Shalimar. Not when wet, but say after about two hours.

Initialy it´s a nice orange smell, mixed with chocolate. It´s very special and sexy. And as i loved Shalimar, i love this one even better

I got this through a swap and imediately fell in love!

Initially from the bottle it is quite a yucky medicine smell ( like aspirine) but as soon as it touch the skin it devellopes so nice.

I cannot smell the roses alone, but a very familiar juice smell, sweet but not too much.

And longlasting? well realy superbly! I put some on my pyjama's yesterday and it's still there, not faded even a bit! On my wrist it fades due to work etc. but had some in my neck inder my hair and when showering it smelled strongly from my hair!

For the forumnites who are scared from TMI.....STOP READING HERE

My BF remarked yesterday already that i smelled very nice, and today...well, let's say it was short but good need to mention it had been quite a while since we actually did It, therefor I am sure Blood Rose did some work here.

Have fun Beth, hope you are out to relax somewhere, you realy deserve it after all the hassle of the past month!

Have posted this on another threat but again.. My order has arrived!!!!

Thank you! Hope soon i find time to go and pick it from the postoffice.

Thank you sooo much for making this! The lay-out is fab!!

My favorite colour

Zombi is very rose to me, soft, juicy sweet. I never liked rose oil, but that´s because i had a rose oil from the Bodyshop once with was harsh and cloying. Zombi made me change my mind. A real romantic rose smell, with a deeper mysterious note...

Like this one a lot!

In the bottle it smells like a 'sauna', must be the juniper I guess. It's deep dark smell that I want to keep sniffing all day. really clears my head

On the skin: becomes softer, more roses. It lasts quite long. Somehow on the skin it's a little like Burial.

ETA:one year later.....

since this week i have rediscovered Omen, as i got an imp from a swap

Really like it all over again, only in this year my nose has developped. Now i don't smell roses in this anymore, It's all Incence and Juniper. Love love love, and i will not let it get out of sight again, its a sure 5ml order in the next update

above it´s me, forgot to log on :oops:

Tramp *drool*

i have been asking this on the Lush forum but for Tramp there is no one similar so far.

Funny thing about Tramp why it should be perfect for BPAL: My boyfriend is Moroccan and Tramp reminds him strongly about the stuff they embalm their dead with. As in Morocco its very hot and people are not burried in a coffin but in a sheet, they use something to prefent the death from smelling :shock: So boyfriend does NOT like Tramp (and i will not bring it with me on holiday to Morocco :oops: )

Hi all you experts!

Even though I did not yet receive my first order, I am plotting a second one :oops:

Yesterday I started fitness again, and used Zombi which of course was much too strong (the machines around became empty )

SO, what can be a nice smell to fit with exercise? I was thinking someting minty....

First sniff in the bottle:

Paint, same smell as when you lift the lit from a can of fresh paint. Also little bit of burned wood.

After wearing:

No Paintness anymore, the burned wood is still there, mixed with roses. It's a nice complex smell, and very long lastind

After getting the sample from Tesseljoan (thanks!) here is my review:

First impression

Roses, no doubt about that, I cannot smell the soil, but definitly there is more to it than just roses because I had a rose oil once (bodyshop) and it doesn't even come near.

After while

It stays long without changing much from the first sniff. I like it but to me it's not really an exiting smell enough to buy a bottle.

edited to say: Unbelievable what changes you go through with BPAL scents. In the first review (bold) I stated that Zombi is not really something for me. That was written when I tried it first day. After finishing the Imp I became convinced, MUST have a bottle and 5ml is NOT enough

It is so crisp, juicy, lickable, somehow I am tempted to drink it. It´s secret, hauted, and makes me feel spooky. Also gives me an awearness of the dark and haunted. Want to walk on a old graveyard wearing this..
