Wow marzipan in the imp

wet on skin- just almonds...yummy lovely marzipan on my wrist

dry down - bleh! this has turned to pure powder on my wrist. so dissapointing

This is gorgeous...I love snake oil and this is very similar...I get a hint of ginger on dry down yet no orange blossom at all and i do get a hint of vanilla in this. Lovely, sexy and foxy!

However I have got a fake tan type stain on my wrist now where i put the scent..has anyone else had this problem?

hmm the amber has always put me off trying this..however I was recently given a frimp of this and WOW! its really lovely, though I do not get the post-sex smell some people have had?? Sex certainly doesn't smell of honey to me? perhaps i'm doing it wrong? anyhow back to O...

fresh in the imp - i get honey, honey, honey

wet on the skin - the honey is still in your face. very much like Lush B never/ flying fox shower gel..almost playdoh but not quite

dry - the vanilla shows its face, with a slight powdery amber in the back ground and still lots of honey. Amber usually amps on me, however though i get some powder it never takes over and covers me in old lady talcness. I think a bottle may be on my next order

Snake oil and King Cobra are my favourite Bpal scents at the moment...to my nose O is their sweet and a tiny bit naughty little sister...love it!

I've had a couple of problems with my latest orders. Over the past month I've put in four altogether and only one of those has been stress-free. The first order I put in (shared with a friend) hasn't arrived and there's been no click and ship. My friend has sent a few enquiry emails and the responses so far have been rather vague. We've been waiting for that package for a long time now and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of a resolution.

 

The second order arrived very quickly and all was fine there.

 

I received my click and ship for the third order two weeks ago and there's no sign of it yet... getting a bit worried about that one.

 

The fourth order arrived this morning and is the one I'm most pissed off about as the postman handed me the package along with a customs charge slip. They want me to pay £14.78 and there doesn't seem to be a reason apart from the fact that the stated total is a lot less than it should be.

 

Has anyone else had similar experiences recently? I'm thinking of sending BPAL an email about it all, as the customer service is rather lacking.

Hiya

the customs charge slip will probably be ofr a different package as they dont usually release them till you have paid the cutsoms charges. Unfortunately if your parcel gets stopped by cutoms they will charge customs tax. No reason just that you should pay customs tax on imports! A bit like spot checks at the airport really...very occasionally you might get a parcel stopped and checked... I've found that usually bigger parcels get stopped unfortunately. That may be your missing parcel? I too am awaiting a CnS for an order and no replies from emails i have sent either

hope this hepls

What i did with my last order was start it in the suibject/title then carry it on in the comments box. I fit my order of 2 imp packs and 8 bottles in and it all got here ok

not sure it would work on a humungous order though?

wet - very green sharp lily scent. reminds me of synthetic airfreshner lily smell.

dry down- much the same. still very sharp green scent on my skin. not for me :-(

dry woody, musty scent . in the imp it smells a bit like a wet old ashtray..yuk. on skin its better, still woodsy but sweeter more resinous. Darn it its gone all pencil shavings on me now. not for me..off to swaps

hmm reading the reviews i expected something really sexy and gorgeous here. but i got a horrible sharp, medical, cheap perfumey type scent in the imp. same wet on my skin. it then turned to horrible sharp powder. not very sexy on me. :-(

Well it's Horror alright.

 

My nose and skin are clearly nothing like anyone else's. There is no Ivanushka musk here for me.

 

It smells of CURRY. It's a kind fenugreek/cumin smell over violets. So glad I did not spring for a bottle of this. On me this is blech.

 

ETA, the next day the residual white musk that is left is kind of nice but not worth waiting for the curry to leave for, it has staying power though!

Hmm yes it was a curried scent for me too

maybe it doesn't travel well??

Blerrr! vinegar and honey in the imp...vinegar and honey on my skin. sweet and sour..totally horrendous scent on my skin. I couldn't wash it off quick enough. me thinks honey does not work for me at all! and wine is for drinking only!!

in the imp.I am loving this. to me its spring in a bottle, daffodils, cowslips, snowdrops, beautiful

wet- same beautiful spring yellow scent gorgeous.. i so so love this scent

dry- and then it was gone...like a sweet holiday romance; beautiful but no staying power.

am soo sad i really wanted this to be my perfect signature scent!

Gorrrrrjuss!!

light feminine fresh greeny floral and def not powdery and old ladyish on me. smells like my best friend used to smell like when she used the old oil of ulay...really pretty and fresh. definitely be getting a bottle of this one

in the bottle- sweet sticky honeyed tobacco with spice and a touch of rose

wet on skin - sweet honey, tobacco, spicy woodsy. after a while rose

dry on skin - bleh! sickly sweet old ladies soap, spiced rose, yukky soapy, powdery, headache inducing horribleness. Very Very strong smell seems to get stronger and more powdery and more old ladyish. This is giving me a headache and cries of 'who's sprayed fly spray' come from the kids and hubby in the front room!!! definately a no no for my skin!!!!

after scrubbing i can still smell it on my skin...blehhh!!

Oooh!! right! Thank you for clearing that up for me, so I should get mine around end of may time. its my first order as you can tell, so i was getting a bit worried.

thanks

Hi i placed an order on 24th april via paypal.

I am in the Uk. I haven't received any conformation of my order or payment, and I have emailed but with no reply. I haven't received my order yet either. How long does it normally take and is communication normally this bad???

thanks

Lucy
