BPAL review: Bengal

[brigdh]

Bengal

Website Description: A 'Wanderlust' scent. A sultry and unruly blend that emulates the ambient scent of the markets in ancient Bengal: skin musk with honey, peppers, clove, cinnamon bark and ginger.

In Vial: GINGER. Lots of ginger.

Wet: Cinnamon and ginger. I smell like a giant gingerbread cookie!

Dry: Cinnamon and ginger and, underneath, musk. Very good.

Notes: I really like this one. It lingers for a lot longer than most of the other ones I've tried, too.

GINGER! (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

I need to make a BPAL order when I'm not broke. Wah.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee. This one didn't smell like I expected at all, but I like it anyway, so it's all good.

And I know! *dies* I've only made one order, and I'm going to have to wait for a while before I can afford another. You could try hanging around alchemylab, because they tend to be cheaper (and way quicker) than the actual website, if you're really interested.

Oooooh, I didn't realise that existed! Hell, even I can afford those prices. *runs*

Yes, I spent a few hours browsing through the website once and realised then that I'd made a list of over 40 and, well, admitted defeat at that point. *dies*

That community is terrible. Everytime I look at it I see something I want, and inevitably manage to convince myself to buy it, because "Oh, it's only 3 dollars!" or "Oh, I spent more than that on lunch today."

I need! To stop!

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Whoops. That should be alchemylab.

*mourns her bank balance* I hate you. :| (Except I'll hopefully smell pretty.)

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Heeeee. Which ones did you get? I love hearing about different people's scent preferences.

[kessie.livejournal.com]

Well, this lot is definitely coming:
Al-araaf
Stardust
Two, Five and Seven
The Unicorn
Wings of Azrael

and hopefully so will this lot:
Arachne
Black Dahlia
Veil
Eternal
Fallen
Seraphim
Mantis

I have no idea what that says about my scent preference... I seem to be pretty random (like with everything else, I suppose).

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Ooo, nice. And I think most people are pretty random- the only thing I can realiably trace about myself is that I tend to prefer florals, but not overly girly ones.

I just got Veil, by the way, and I like it a lot. That's the only one of yours I've tried.
