I got hooked onto
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (BPAL), when a friend had brought me an imp pack as a christmas present in 2004. I don't remember what I ordered, how many worked, and if I still have any of them.
However I found myself not only amazed at how many different scents that were available but how things smelled without the alcohol. Although I'm just in for the smellies I don't particularly think the oil has any magical power.
I am not too picky when it comes to note since my skin chemistry is very picky. However I am very fond of floral and aquatic notes. Though I try my best to give notes a few tries before deciding that they hate me. ^_~
The notes that I'm not overly fond of are for the most part few it really depends on what the note combination is, for example I might have two scents with similar notes and have two different reactions to them. This works for most notes I'm iffy on except for amber. Amber and I are mortal enemies.
For a glance at someone who has more distinct likes/dislikes in notes, check out
my sister's reviews. Besides her's probably make more sense then my rambling does. XD
Current Collection: 4 bottles and 38 imps. I only count the stuff that works on me as part of the collection, however I am no means a hoarder if something doesn't work I have no problem passing it along.
( Smellies! )ADDED: Cancer, The Lady of Shalott, Lick it Again, Schrodinger's Cat, Vampire Tears, & Violet Ray [July 1, 2008]
