BPAL!

It finally arrived! Yay.


Hi'iaka - mai'a, hibiscus, white ginger, akala, na'u, Hawaiian moon flower, yellow ilima, pink lokelani, jewel orchid, and fringed orchid. I REALLY like this one. Reminds me of the islands duh and how much I want to go back and vacation there.

Tempest - A crisp ozone-tinged breeze. The scent of the first gentle rain before the storm. Definitely like this one.

Lightning - Lightning slashing the midnight skies over the endless reaches of the ocean. The electric tang of ozone, marine notes, and a drop of sharp rain. This seems fairly similar to Tempest, but I think I like Tempest just a little better. Might be the wrong side of the "marine notes" for me...

Black Pearl - Evocative of the sea's unplumbed mysteries. Gentle and lovely, but menacing and profound. Coconut, Florentine iris, hazelnut and opalescent white musk. It's good, but not my favourite, definitely a summer scent I think.

Szepasszony - A chilly, tempestuous whirlwind of clear, airy notes, slashing rain, and a thin undercurrent of white flowers. I can barely get a whiff of for some reason, but from what I can smell it's a good scent also. Might be right up there with Hi'iaka... =P

Persephone - pomegranate and rose. I don't know what it is, but for some reason I don't really like it as much as I was hoping...not a good mix for me I guess.


And that's my first six. But for whatever reason they sent me two extras...maybe because of the length of time it took or whatever, but they sent me Rome and Tamora.

Tamora - Amber, heliotrope, golden sandalwood, peach blossom and vanilla bean. I didn't expect to like a scent with vanilla anything in it, but you can hardly smell it so that's a good thing. Tamora just may be a scent that I purchase in the future.

Rome - Refined, austere and graceful. A recipe gleaned from Classical Rome: cypress, juniper, chamomile and rose. I don't really like it at all, it's either the cypress or the Chamomile, but there's something about it that just doesn't take with me. Anyone out there want it?

Two extra imps = Frimps. They almost always send a frimp or two along with your order - the more you order, the more frimps you get. ;-)

And, I'll take Rome! Sounds nice to me. I may have something to swap you for, too. What kind of scents do you like?

[hazy-reflection.livejournal.com]

Frimps...cool. Must have missed that if someone else commented about them in their own journals...

And Rome for you then! As for scents I like...I guess I tend toward the sweeter/fruitier/flowery scents? That or "watery" type scents, like Tempest and Lightning. Love the smell of rain... *drool* But you don't have to if you don't want. =) It's not like I paid for it or anything =P And is your addy the same as the one that was on your Christmas Wish List post?

Hmm... well, I've got Lady of Shallott, which is an aquatic floral you might like. It doesn't work very well on me. :-)

And yup, it is! What's yours?
