On the BPAL front

[vulgarweed]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Aziraphale, Ulalume, Black Forest, Arkham, and R'lyeh.

I seem to get the most compliments on Crowley, Dee, Sophia, The Raven, and Silk Road.

Any recommendations for further scents to try? I really don't like baby-powdery scents or heavy florals. I'm very good with woodsy and musky scents, I love all kinds of incense resins, and something grassy or citrusy or oceanic might be good for summer.

Sounds like we have similar scent tastes. Highly recommend Magus and Lady Una.

Gibbous Moon is a great green scent. Let's see - Loviatar, Absinthe, and Tweedledee (which smells like Fruity Pebbles and make me smile) are my current favorites. You might want to see if you can get your hands on some of the Penitence Chaos Theories.

Incencey resin: Have you tried Penitence? There's the Chaos Penitence series out right now/people doing decant circles.

Citrus: I love citrusy scents. They haven't had a long wearlength on me though. For non-orange, non-lemon ones I'd try Aizen-Myoo, Night-Gaunt, Machu Picchu (citrus and vetiver on me), Manhattan (grapefruit, musk, leather.)

Oceanic: Most of these go stale on me, but I've really enjoyed Sea of Glass.

If you want something complex and mysterious (it's musky! no, oceany-y! no, cologne-y!), try Kubla Khan.

And have you checked out the Lab forum? http://www.bpal.org/ they've got tons of reviews of the oils so you can search stuff out really thoroughly.

Damn you, BPAL.

I swear, a crack habit would be cheaper.

You wouldn't smell as nice though. My husband calls it Poke-perfume. Gotta try 'em all.
