kenjariI've finished going through my latest imp pack:
Catherine:
This was my freebie. Lucky for me, it was on my (embarrassingly long) wish list. Unluckily, it was not a success. The rosemary just kind of ruined it for me. I really like the rose aspect (bpal's rose note has been such a pleasant surprise for me), but I'm pretty sure that I can find many other rose scents that will work much better on me.
Clio:
This is an impressive scent, although not one I want to wear as a perfume. There's a smell I've always associated with the age and antiquity of medieval manuscripts and artifacts carefully preserved in museums and libraries: dusty, dry, warm, elusive, and enigmatic. BPAL has managed to bottle this scent - Clio is exactly it. Unfortunately, while I like to smell this scent, I don't want to wear it.
Dublin:
I've already had a sniffie from ladybird97, so I know this is gorgeous. It's the woodsy scent I'd been hoping I would find with bpal.
Envy:
This one was a longshot, but I'm really glad I ordered it because it's wonderful. Envy is the perfect green herbal scent, fresh and outdoorsy. Other Kenjari was quite impressed with it, too.
Florence:
This is so pretty. Amber, iris, berries, and spice perfectly balanced. Amber seems to really love me: almost everything I've tried that has it has been lovely.
House of Night:
A complex floral with a dark green quality. I was tired when I tried it, though, so I don't yet have a final verdict. I will have to test again.
Morgause:
Everything I was hoping it would be: deep, dark, mysterious, heady. It's gorgeous.
Now I just have to wait patiently until my Salon I imp pack arrives. It was my "I didn't get into grad school so I deserve a treat" purchase.

Date: 2007-05-24 03:27 am (UTC)Catherine didn't work for me either - it was one of the many that just went baby-powdery. And I'm really intrigued by Clio now. I mean, it's my own Muse, after all, but I was apprehensive about ordering it because it didn't sound like the kind of notes that would work on me. I'm still not sure, but I'm more curious based on your descriptions.
