BPAL questions!

[wesleysgirl]

The lovely harmonyfb sent me BPAL imps to try, and I have questions. (I do know about the BPAL forums, but either my questions are extra dumb or I can't find the answers there.)

1. Where to you put the stuff when you try it out? On your wrist? Should you only do one wrist, or is it better to do both?

2. How do you put it on? I haven't actually opened an imp yet because I'm afraid of spilling it everywhere, but there's a little plastic wand type thing sticking down from the cap and I wonder if you're supposed to dip that into the oil? It seems like if you put your finger over the opened top of the vial and then tipped the vial, you'd end up with the scent on your fingertip and then transferring it to everything you touched.

3. Reviews I've read seem to talk about how the oil smells 1) in the bottle 2) when first put on the skin 3) some time after that and 4) much later. What kind of time period are we talking about here (between-times?)

I think I might have some scents around for you to try if you would like to sample more. Oh BPAL, it is addictive.

My favorites are Snow White, Lilith, Dia de los Muertos, Aizen Myoo, and Gennivre. I could maybe sample out a little from my bottles of those too. What kind of scents do you like?

I'm not sure I know which kinds I like, LOL! Well, I know I like food scents, but I would have thought I didn't care much for flowers, and yet all the ones I have sitting here smell awfully good to me and some of them are flowery. I like resin-y smells like amber and dragon's blood.

I tried my first one this afternoon, Milk Moon 2007, and it's so fascinating! It smelled awesome in the bottle, then too strong and kind of ucky for a while, and now it smells FANTASTIC. I want to walk around with my wrist pressed to my nose, LOL. So yummy.

I would love it if you wanted to share. I can totally see now how/why it's addictive. Wow. :-D
