I have BPAL!

I now have bottles of Stormhold (which smells fantastic), 13 (which smells incredibly sexy) and Yvaine which I'm wearing at the moment and is a lovely soft lavender scent that may be about to become my new Firinne perfume.

I also had a lovely weekend and got to see fabulous people I haven't seen in ages, which made me happy.

*pokes at own wrist*

Mmmm...Yvaine does smell lovely.

Happy Sally.

Oooh! Been thinking of another BPAL order soon. Could you describe your gorgeous new scents in detail?

Yvaine - The high, crystalline scent of a star-filled night with blue lavender and lush magnolia.

Stormhold - Creeping moss, slick granite, murky vetiver, lightning-charged ozone, and icy rain.

13 (June 08) - In our paean to all the mysteries surrounding this enigmatic number, there are thirteen lucky and unlucky components, including white chocolate, dark chocolate, apple blossom, honeysuckle, frankincense, allspice, nutmeg, black tea, tonka, and sandalwood.

I can't remember which frimps I threw in for her...

I'm not going to be doing another order till September when I get back from honeymoon though (and by then the halloween scents will also be out). :o)

Adding to Steph's descriptions.

Yvaine - on me it's a very delicate, feminine lavender - floral, but not overbearing. It smells of floaty dresses, and bedrooms with four posters bed with the curtains blowing in a summer breeze.

Stormhold - it smells a very little bit like Thunder Moon, which I have and love. According to [profile] wraithwitch that smells like Radox. It's an aquatic, which I like, but many people don't. It's a slightly more robust smell, and does remind me a bit of rainy days.

13 - it's fruit and chocolate and apparently makes me smell very edible. It's very multi-layered. I'm not a massive fan of 90% of the chocolate scents from BPAL, but I love 13 with a passion, and it really lasts.

Oh, and Steph. Jez likes Yvaine, which is really rare (he's picky about perfume), so YAY! It turns out that was a very good buy.

In general I'm very perky. All three bottles were lovely. I feel like I am proving competent in judging which bottles are good for me.

Yvaine - is that the same name that "The Star" had in Stardust? I love that name and am thinking of reserving it for if we ever have a second daughter!
