Dithering over perfume

[cupcake_goth]

brumbjorn very kindly reminded me that BPAL's Pink Moon 2007 blend is available for, oh, the next 24 hours. Some of you may remember that Pink Moon is part of my One True Perfume, and that when I found out that BPAL was going to re-release it, my head nearly exploded in glee.

So why am I dithering? Welllll, it looks like the new version of Pink Moon isn't exactly like the old ...

Pink Moon 2007: A sweet and silly compliment to the first breath of Spring! Sugared carnation and phlox!

Pink Moon 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 certainly plan on ordering two or three bottles of the new Pink Moon. But should I order more? See, if Pink Moon 2007 had been the same description as Pink Moon 2005, I was thinking of ordering ... many bottles. Now, I'm not sure. What if the new blend isn't as scrumptious as the old? But what if I order only a few bottles and it IS as perfect as the old blend? Iiieee!

So, I need a sanity check advice from peoples. Help help?

If you're placing an order, could you order me little samples of Mad Sweeney and Oborot, if that's possible? I have the illusion that if I don't actually order in my own name, I'm not going to get hooked.

Pssst.

BPAL doesn't sell imps of those two scents. But I've got bottles and will decant some for you if you are so kind as to email me an address where I can send them.

Or you could jsut get together with Mike and I for dinner. I haven't seen you in something like 3 years or so... ;)

Is it possible to email them to find out if it's really the same blend as 2005?

I can't really offer any advice, but it may help to know that it's available until 3/7, not just 24 hours. So you don't have to make a decision right this instant.

BPAL has runs that only last 24 hours? That's sadistic! Maybe I won't be joining this cult after all.

Their "lunacy" series, which happens on the full moon every month, used to only be available for 24 hours (give or take a few). Lately, they've been available for about 5 days. Much better for us indecisive types, or those of us who don't pay attention to what the moon is doing.

Now, the sheer number of blends they have that sound interesting... that's the sadistic part.

If you can get more info as to how it differs from the previous blend, that would be good.

If not, I'd say buy lots...if you don't like it I suspect you'll be able to sell off the excess on eBay.

Call them and ask!

(I now understand the perfume squee.)

I knew there was something I meant to do ---it's packed up in storage right now, and will be until sometime after the wedding in July, but I've got a used-maybe-three-times bottle of proper Pink Moon that I keep meaning to send you. I'll pester you for your mailing address later.

Limited edition = good investment for selling later on ebay.

If you buy too many bottles and don't like it, sell them. You are bound to make a profit if you wait a little while to do so even.

I'd check out with BPAL if it's the same. ^_^ Can't hurt.

Off topic - I was at Pacific Fabrics in Northgate this evening and back in the right hand corner of the store (when you walk in) they have some lovely pink and black brocade fabric on a roll in a round bin that is 30% off - regularly about $18/yard or so. I just figured I should mention it...
