BPAL lunacy & summer scents

[ethaisa]

SMOKEY MOON  Soft sandalwood, nicotiana, and velvety orris drifting over lustrous pale musks, stephanotis, elemi, and cyclamen.  Torn about this one... I love smoky scents, but pale musks often go soapy on my skin and the floral notes aren't among my favs.

Oh, mercy, some of those sound so wonderful...Laboris Solis, for instance!

Yes that one in particular sounds like a must-have! I have such a weakness for the resin blends - I keep thinking I have so many, why do I need more? and then she comes out with a new twist. Did you ever track down those other scents you were looking at? We should talk swapping sometime!

You know, I have only gotten a few of the many I have coveted. My researches in olfactory delight were derailed by the fact that I have reacted allergically to about one third of the ones I got. I have used them in the twisty tapers....imp by imp, lol. That personal candle tin smells very good indeed! And in wax, they seem less problematical than on my skin.

I like making wax tarts for burners with them, too. And I've made the occasional candle. Have you tried a scent locket rather than putting them directly on your skin - there's a few I don't react well with myself. Let me know what you're still looking for; I have some spare imps, and I can always decant :)

I came across your journal browsing members of a book community and wanted to know if you'd like to become friends.

I'm pretty boring, but sure! :) I always like talking books!
