5. What are you most looking forward to trying from your next order/swap?
I am SO VERY MUCH looking forward to the Carnival Diabolique decants so I will know which bottle(s) to buy! ^___^

6. CCNow or Paypal?
Paypal

Well, I've managed to get my Mom and Grandma interested! YAY!

8. What's your favorite work in The Salon? Have you tried it yet?
Haven't tried any of them yet, though I am intrigued by And There Was a Great Cry in Egypt and Two Monsters.

9. Did you wear perfume before BPAL?
Not often. Was most recently into some of the B&BW Breathe scents. In high school I was completely obsessed with Guess? and am still sad that they no longer make it. Obsession and Opium were also beloved then, though I couldn't afford any of them with any regularity. :o)

10. How many imps and bottles are currently within arm's reach?
All of mine are on the computer desk. So...13 bottles and roughly 50 imps including the soon-to-be-swap pile.

Kuntstkammer - A sensory jumble, a true cacophony of odors: black pepper, benzoin, blood orange and olibanum. This is an intriguing scent. I don't know what benzoin or olibanum are, but I think the strongest scents are the pepper and the blood orange anyway. Very bittersweet, yet fascinating. I just got a partial bottle of this one, so I'll test it a few more times before deciding whether it's a keeper or not.

The Black Tower - A sepulchral, desolate scent. Long-dead soldiers, oath-bound; the perfume of their armor, the chill wind that surges through their tower, white bone and blackened steel: white sandalwood, ambergris, wet ozone, galbanum and leather with ebony, teak, burnt grasses, English ivy and a hint of red wine. I wanted to love this one so very much. Instead of a hint of red wine, I get an "OMG! WINE OVERLOAD!" Thankfully after about five minutes the wine fades to a dull roar, but I still don't get any of the really cool scents or impressions. So sad.

Death on a Pale Horse - And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. empty white musk and mint seeped with solemn lavender, doleful patchouli and vetiver, scythe-sharp yuzu and lime, with geranium bourbon, white sandalwood and calla lily. I've enjoyed this one for quite a while, but found someone selling a partial bottle this last week. The main site is down so I'm not able to get the whole description, but I believe they called this one a doleful scent. Interesting, because my impression of it is just how very pretty it is and that it's one of those that isn't so light you can't tell you're wearing it. It's a nice mix of pretty scents with some weightier ones to round them out. Surprise bonus on the bottle--it actually has a label! I was beginning to think only the LE ones did, so it must be because it's a subsection of the Sin & Salvation ones.

More yummy goodness arrived in the mail today, plus some pretty empty blue bottles for the ones I have multiple imps of but no one appears to be selling partial bottles of...now to find interesting clip art or the like for pretty labels.

Survived Monday, though the last hour of work was fraught with a thudding headache. Better now, thankfully.

I'm not very good with reviews, but I will start sharing my thoughts on my new BPAL oils. Friday's mail made me VERY happy as it contained my Lab order and two swaps. Of course, haven't been home to actually test any of them until last night!

*glances around*

So, hey. I managed to avoid buying any BPAL for an ENTIRE month. It's been terrible not getting all these lovely little packages in the mail, let me tell you! I'm still waiting for my Dragon Moon order (the lab is moving and things are slowing down again), which means I'm also waiting for the Carnivale decant circle as I'm positive that was released at the time Dragon Moon was so she can't decant them yet. Ack.

This week I've made up for it a tiny bit. Getting to try some imps that I haven't tried, and getting some empty bottles for my favorites so I can dump imps into it as I get more. Bottles are pretty! Anyway, one of the Carnivale scents that I couldn't afford when I placed my decant order I did get in one of my mini orders this week. Bearded Lady is an absolutely gorgeous scent! So very pretty and not quite what you'd expect by the name. It is quite a mood uplifter. :o)

I need to get organized and put up a sales/swap list for the ones that I either dislike or just no longer wear. There's some that were on my "oh, hey that's cool!" list at first but now that I'm finding more that really work well on me I just don't pick them up. Though, some I'll keep because they're more seasonal (i.e. Jack is fall, etc). One of the really nice things is that most of the Limited Editions I've tried don't really work on me, so I will have some LE's to go with the general catalog ones. Yay!
