A big thank you to tsita

She sent me six imps and a 5ml of Sin.

Sin: Thoroughly corrupted: amber, sandalwood, black patchouli and cinnamon.

My comment: the sandalwood and patchouli come right through. I smell like a head shop from just touching the rim. I love it. After an hour it's mellowed to a gorgeous spicy incense smell.

(On Dollface, the wet has a strong cinnamon smell. On Obi, cinnamon and patchouli.)



I can't wait to try the imps.

Plunder: The scent of a pirate's bumboat, overflowing with stolen wares: tea leaf, cassia, cinnamon bark, clove, allspice, sandalwood, tobacco, peppercorn, and nutmeg.

Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo: Bottled happiness. Helps reverse misfortune, brings light and laughter to even the most troubled and discordant place, and aids in alleviating the stress and discontent that accompanies so many of life's daily trials.

Bastet: Bast, Ubasti, Ailuros, Ba-en-Aset. Represented as both a domestic cat and a fierce lioness, she truly evidences traits of both. She is the Mother of All Cats, Goddess of Sensuality, Fertility, and a guardian and protector of women. She is also one of the Eyes of Ra, and in that aspect is an Avenging Goddess, seeking retribution and punishing enemies of her people. Luxuriant amber, warm Egyptian musk, fierce saffron and soft myrrh, almond, cardamom and golden lotus.

Baku: Our Nightmarebane. Named after the Baku, benevolent Japanese spirits that eat nightmares. In Japanese tradition, nightmares are gifts from malevolent spirits; when you wake up from one, you may call, "Baku, please eat my dreams!", and if you are virtuous and merciful in spirit, the Baku will devour the evil, transforming it into a blessing of good fortune.

Lady Macbeth: The essence of ambition, covetousness and manipulation: sweet Bordeaux wine, blood red currant, thyme and wild berries.

Bewitched: Deep, luscious green and berry scents that evoke images of woodland witchcraft and the raw power of nature: blackberry, sage, green tea, wild berries and dark musk.

Ooooooh, I LOVE Bastet. If you hate it, lemme know, I am sure I could find a way to take it off your hands. ^_~
Bewitched sounds looooooovely! Gonna put that one on my list of things to sniff for in the future!
Also, let us know what Baku and Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo smell like!

In the bottle, Aunt Caroline smells like nasty cherry cough syrup. I understand it changes and mellows.

Baku...stinks at first. Strong astringent herbal, faint eucalyptus and lavender. The kids and I all went eww. We'll see how it goes, since the after-odor is much more pleasant.

I like the Bastet and Bewitched smells very green.

Ooh Baku sounds exciting at least.
I had an imp of Poisoned Apple and it was the worst most awful nasty ugh blegh things ever.
It is the favorite scent of one of my friends, though. BPAL is so fun like that! There is something for everyone...excpet Midnight Kiss...it sounds so good but smells so terrible! No one likes it.

Bastet really and truly reminds me of a dry desert. It's an almost hot scent. Bewitched kinda reminds me of summer. I snagged that imp because I actually have some blackberry and sage incense that makes me think of iced tea in the middle of a Midwestern summer.

Hopefully most will work for y'all.
