Feb. 24th, 2006 10:48 pmMore random BPAL. What, you thought the novelty had worn off by now? Haha.
Came into possession of a new set of imps. This round has been mostly unremarkably nice: Zephyr turned out to be more powdery-perfumey from the white musk and sandalwood and whatnot than I had expected; there's supposed to be lemon and lemon verbena in it, but I didn't really get much of that from the scent. Van Van is nice enough but mostly a poor relation of Follow Me Boy, which I adore, so I might as well just stick with Follow Me Boy. Szepasszony is lovely in the bottle, and is indeed a clear, cold, sweet scent, but like most of BPAL's aquatics, not quite so lovely on. Ah well.
Brisingamen, however, is probably the nicest of the amber scents I've tried; not as foody as The Lion, but warmer and smoother and sweeter than Cairo. Fresh it's a bit eh, but once it's settled down on my skin I quite like it. Currently trying out Water of Notre Dame, which is working out better than the other aquatics I've tried, but the standard Voodoo Blends herbals are kind of taking over and going powdery again.
I find it terribly amusing how easy it is for me to assign these perfumes to my various characters. Follow Me Boy? So very Rogue in all respects. Neo-Tokyo for Aya (shut up, him smelling like flowers is canon). Shanghai or Embalming Fluid for Seishi. And Sudha Segara is entirely perfect for Murrue.
