enabling.

So, a certain [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] inspired me to post some BPAL imps (also known as samples). These are up for grabs, just pick one or two please. :)

Manila - A tropical, humid, lush scent, with a faint echo of Pacific breezes, jungle blossoms, and deep wet woods. Sampaguita blossoms, banana leaf, palm, and narra.

The Unicorn - A misty, almost luminous perfume: wispy linden blossoms, white flowers, and a touch of sweet herbs.

Shroud - Dry white sandalwood wrapped in thin woods, soft grasses and the lightest white flowers layered over cajeput and the warm, deep scent of embalming herbs.


Tweedledee - Ridiculous! Kumquat, white pepper, white tea and orange blossom.



The Isles of Demons - Twin islands near Newfoundland, now lost, that were believed to be gateways to Hell. The scent is of wet, dark greenery, carnivorous flowers, volcanic gas, and the hot black musk of the demons and wild beasts that populated the islands. (On me, this smelled green and cleanly floral, not all swamp gassy like I thought. ;))


Baku - Dream Formula II: Our Nightmarebane.
Named after the Baku, benevolent Japanese spirits that eat nightmares. In Japanese tradition, nightmares are gifts from malevolent spirits; when you wake up from one, you may call, "Baku, please eat my dreams!", and if you are virtuous and merciful in spirit, the Baku will devour the evil, transforming it into a blessing of good fortune. ( I have a bottle of this one, this is the partially used imp that I got originally.)


Somnus - Dream Formula V. Named after the Roman God of Sleep. This blend helps bring on deep, restful, natural sleep. (I have a bottle of this, too.)


Penny Dreadful - Also called Gallows Literature. A dime novel rife with melodrama, horror, madness and cruelty; a ten cent analogy of vice and virtue in conflict. Soft perfume evocative of noir heroines over rich red grave loam.


Malice - A profound, complex scent that encapsulates the joy one finds in another,s pain. Ylang ylang, clove, Indonesian red patchouli, and dark myrrh.



Blood - A vital, bold scent, throbbing with sensuality. Essence of dragon,s blood resin, thickened with myrrh and cherry, with a trickle of clove.


Leave a comment if'n you're interested. I can help you choose if you want, too.

Bedtime for me, now.
