Oh dear. Perfume addiction.

[cupcake_goth]

After doing some back-and-forth messaging with someone on the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab boards, I stopped and did some counting.

Thanks to swaps and buying bottles from people on the board that ended up not liking the scent, I will end up with 10 bottles of Pink Moon. (I think. My counting up and/or memory may be faulty.)

Ten! Ten bottles of Pink Moon! Bwah-ha-ha-ha!

You may be asking yourself, "What the heck is Pink Moon? What on earth is she burbling about now?"


Pink Moon is only available for purchase on 25 March 2005 The name of this moon refers to the color of wild ground phlox, a primary component of this Lunacy Blend, which is one of the most widespread floral signposts of springtime in North America. This Lunar blend is soft with phlox, tulip, daffodil, dogwood and muscari, dusted with pink sugar and honey, and a touch of the first strawberries of the season.

I mix it with the chocolate perfume oil, and it is, as far as I'm concerned, the Perfect Princess Moonbeam Perfume.

Now I just need to buy some perfumer's alcohol to make some sprays. Oh, and make some scented dusting powder ...

Dear lady, trying to not go shopping from your entries is... argh! Thank you so much for posting the Gallery Serpentine frock coats a little while ago. I made the mistake of following that link, and now I have to go wipe off my chin.

*sigh*

Some day, I will have $400 to spend on a brocade frock coat. This isn't idle musing, this is a fact.

Is that a chocolate perfume oil that isn't, you know, revolting? Do you know how that supplier's amber oils measure up?

The Escential chocolate perfume oil is one of three that I have found that actually smells like chocolate. Dragonfly Blue (http://www.dragonflyblue.com/truffles.html) makes one of the three, but while theirs IS delicious, applying it is an awful lot like rubbing Hershey's syrup into your skin. (The third chocolate oil I like is, of course, Bliss by BPAL, but it doesn't stay a true chocolate on me.)

I do have a lot of entries about shiny shiny objects I'm coveting, this is true. :)

... aaaaand I totally forgot to answer your question about Escential's amber oils.

The ones that I smelled, I liked. I didn't buy any because any need I have for amber scents is handily filled by various BPAL ones.

You will be pleased to know, I just received my first BPAL order. It's such a good thing.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad it makes you happy.

I should update my list o' imps and let you take a look at it, in case there is anything you want.

If you bring a bottle to my house, I can give you some of the alcohol. I have it from soap making.

Crazy addict lady. I *did* end up buying a second bottle of Pink Moon off the forum. One of the few you didn't get your mits on, evidently! :P

I haven't even received my 3/25 CnS yet. I am peeved.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Heh. I slowed a bit on my frantic buying/swapping when it started to dawn on me how many bottles I had already managed to snag. That doesn't mean I'm not looking for a few more, mind you, but not quite in the frantic, OMG MUST HAVE MORE NOW NOW NOW way.

Hey, have you smelled The Unicorn yet?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Errrrr, I don't remember. I *think* I have an imp of it, but I'll have to go check the giant box. I think I have smelled it and though "Hmmm, pretty, not for me. Not sweet enough."

I can't do BPAL, since they can't guarantee that my allergens aren't present in their blends.

OT: Any idea what's up with Ivy? Her journal is gone...
