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.
