    BPAL Fruit Blends - the many variations

    I have very limited experience with BPAL (so far), in fact I've only just received my first order. But the fruits and fruity-florals I tried (jester, kitsune-tsuki, Xiuhtecuhtli, Megaera) were FAR too sweet for my tastes (kind of like those big twisty suckers I loved as a child). Fae on the other hand was definitely not too sweet, but the oakmoss just ruined it for me. And Katharina, well I guess apricot really isn't my thing (my grandfather used to make apricot moonshine, in his cellar I believe - I guess that smell takes me back a liiittle too far....) So, what are some of the less sweet fruits and fruity-florals that you have found? (FYI, I especially love warm fruits and fruity-florals and purple fruits like blackcurrant and plum. But patchouli, carnation, and clove....gross) Thank you!

    shipping confirmation emails

    Hi, I'm a total newbie to BPAL. I just placed my first order on july 3rd and I got a confirmation email from CCNow with my order number. Then, today I got an email from USPS saying my order was ready to ship, BUT the order number wasn't the same as the one CCNow gave me. Then, I went to the CCNow website to look up my order, but it says there is no such order. Should I email the lab to see what is going on? Thanks!

    BPALs like Serge Lutens perfumes

    It is my most beloved perfume (my chemistry ruins most), but now I need to find something else to love because it is no longer available in the U.S. (only in Paris) On me, chergui is moderately sweet (honey/hay), but sharp and slightly smoky (incense/spice/resin), and thankfully has no green notes whatsoever. So could anyone recommend something from BPAL that is sweet (and I mean any level of sweet: slightly, moderately, or very; and from almost anything: honey, hay, fruit, vanilla, caramel, flowers...) but sharp (like from spice or incense, but not from herbal spice, or green notes) and has very little or no green or herbal notes? This is actually my first post here, so I'm sorry if I'm being to precise, or sounding to picky . A big thank you to anyone who answers this!
