Somthing real

mercy_angel_09I know I said I didn't have a lot of material for real entries this month, but I decided that it wouldn't kill me to share that I got some new BPAL last week and the result is that I have more Imps Ears to test out.
Today's scent is Aelophile from the Steamworks collection. The perfume is infused with amber and citrus, labdanum, verbena, cedar, and oud, and on me smells like a cross between the industrial hand soap in public restrooms and incense. We'll see how it ages, because despite the odd images it conjures in my mind, the scent itself I find quite pleasant and soothing.
The scents I actually ordered for myself were Havana and Alice's Evidence. I had waffled about buying Havana at Sakura-Con, and I finally decided to bite the bullet and get some when I ordered the Tintagel for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
travellyr. Havana is a masculine scent - leather, date plam, snake root oil and tobacco, but when I put it on it becomes sweet and musky. It smells ridiculously good on me, which is good because I was going to be pissed if I couldn't wear it. Alice's Evidence still smells fantastic on me as well, so all is good in the world of perfume.
In other news, I'm going through my Imps Ears and figuring out which ones I want to give to my sister to try out. Since I bought a bottle of Alice's Evidence, I'll let her take my Imps Ear of that to try out. I asked her what kind of scents she prefers, and once I get a response I'll sort through them accordingly, though a few are off limits, especially the ones that have a more sexually oriented nature, like O, Golden Pariapus, or The Sacred Whore of Babylon. I can't imagine that my parents would like that I gave her perfume with those names. However, if she likes roses, I'll give her Marie and Versailles and I may be going through the "BPAL" tag to find the other scents I didn't care much for and see if maybe my sister can wear them.
She's turning sixteen, of course I'm going to spoil her. Which reminds me, I need to go and find some funky nail polish...
