Received BPAL booty from [livejournal.com profile] windrose. I have not tried the imps yet, but did try The Buggre Alle This Bible, available on the Good Omens page.

It's interesting. I do like it. If you walked into a used bookstore that had been located for about twenty years between a tobacconist and a head shop/someplace that has sold incense and oils, you might get an idea of what it smells like. It only lasted 3-4 hours as a strong, definable scent, but I don't know if that's usual for BPAL scents. I also didn't put that much on, which may have had something to do with it.

Oh, yay! I'm glad it got to you in one piece. :)

The staying power and throw of BPAL scents depends a great deal on individual body chemistry. For example, my body amps rose notes like whoa, so I know to stay away from any blend with rose in it because it will overpower all else. Some blends start strong and fade quickly, others are like the Energizer Bunny and keep going and going. They also morph on your skin, so how it smells when it first goes on is not how it will smell after it dries. Best thing to do is have fun and experiment. :)

I'm looking forward to it!
