BPAL review: Laudanum

[telophase]

OK, last one ... FOR NOW!! *ominous chord*



Laudanum

BPAL description: From the Sin & Salvation collection. The essence of the most debauched hunger encapsulated into a perfume. Desire beyond love, anguish beyond sanity. Nutmeg, sassafras, black poppy and myrrh. (Traditionally masculine)

In vial: Can smell the nutmeg and what I think is the sassafras - it's faintly reminiscent of a root beer-type drink.

Wet: Whoa - root beer.

Dry: The root beer fades and the myrrh comes out, with a touch of spice.

Notes: Cat: *sniffs* ""WTF?"" The myrrh is working well, but unfortunately it's just too faint to smell after 10 or so minutes. There's plenty of other perfumes that are stronger on me. Off to the swap pile!

:D I am appalling myself with the sheer amount of BPAL I've reviewed over the past few months. And with the recent orders that just came in ... I've got 34 more scents to try. *sigh*

I'm wondering if it's time for an intervention or if I should simply recognize there's a higher power at work and just let events take their course.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

XD Well, it's not affecting my work or my daily life, and I'm not going broke from it (thanks to swaps XD) so I think an intervention isn't quite called for.

When I get into hobbies, I hit them hard for a while, and then drop them entirely, usually. I might not care about any of this a year from now. XD

Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night, teleophase, but will someone think of the children olfactory nerves?

O RLY?

[telophase.livejournal.com]

YA RLY!

[moonlit-page.livejournal.com]

OMG NO WAY!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

WAI!!!

I actually read ALL OF THOSE reviews. I need a prize or something. :)
What is your favourite type of scent?

[telophase.livejournal.com]

You win one million internet dollars!

Favorite scent ... well, it changes from time to time. I'm currently liking ones with an amber base and light fruits and florals on top, but not overpowering. Versailles and Brisingamen are the two I'm wearing at the moment. Er, not at the same time.

I seem to like lighter scents in winter and heavier scents in summer, for some reason.

[tgreywords.livejournal.com]

I love Amber, personally. An ex of mine wore amber oil and he got me hooked. I get mine through Auric Blends, though, it's just straight amber with nothing else, very simple. :)

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Heh. I'll have to try straight amber at some point and see what it's like. The Lion works good on me, and it's mostly amber with dry grass, and sophia_helix should be sending me some Jacob's Ladder, which is primarily amber from what I understand, so I have high hopes for it. :D

Your calendar tells me you've posted 21 entries today. *eyes* ....oh yeah, it's totally time for an intervention. Or at least an introduction to the magical world of LJ filters. *boggles*

[telophase.livejournal.com]

No, LJ filters on these would mean that only people on my friendslist could see them, and there's people on the various BPAL groups and so on who'd be interested, and I'd rather not increase my friendslist significantly. :D So yer stuck with 'em because they ened to be visible to random passers-by. ;)
