BPAL -- finally!!

[yakalskovich]

After years and years of hearing people rave about BPAL online, I now have the very first imps here on my table, thanks to moons_storm. Thank you thank you thank you!! It's fascinating stuff.


Erm, what do I have to do to get more 'Piper at the Gates of Dawn'? It's not just that there's a faun on the label, I opened the pretty bottle, and immediately fell in love with the scent of what little oil is left in it (it's an empty, which apparently still get passed around so people can sniff them). I dabbed the rim of that bottle on my wrists, and it was Just Right.

You can go to a community like sinandsalvation and put up an ISO (in search of) post. You'd just need to say something about being in Germany, not wanting to pay more than the original cost of the bottle ($17.50) plus shipping costs (which is usually $4 internationally) and that's you're new to BPAL but the empty you received was just perfect on you and you'd like an actual bottle of it.

People only take Paypal, and usually ask that you chip in on Paypal fees (about $0.50 or so). sinandsalvation is a great community as no one will gouge you on prices (they have rules against that).

OK, thanks, that sounds great! I'll do that then.-

And thanks ever so much again, I love these -- not just this specific one.

*grins* I'm glad you like them. Do you plan on post reviews on them? I think that's half the fun, reading other people's take on the scents.

[yakalskovich]

My reviews would be hopelessly subjective, though

Oh, they always are. :) Everyone's body reacts differently to the oil, so no scent is exactly the same on anyone else. It's quite interesting. Like me? I can't wear anything with rose. Any time I do? The scent turns into cat pee.

The 'Piper at the Gates of Dawn' started out woodsy, like dark leaves and pine needles, and now has segued into some softer, warmer, spicier undertones.

I really love it!

*grins* I'm glad! I wish I had some to actually send you, but, alas, no. My collection is, mostly, fruit and ice and pine based scents.

I'll post in that comm and see what transpires!

P.S.: Now, after several hours, only some soft spicy notes like cinnamon and vanilla are left...
