Sniff

I'm getting new BPAL imps!

Here are the descriptions, for the curious:

Queen of Sheba: A woman of exquisite, unearthly beauty, profound intelligence, wit, and exceeding wealth, the Queen of Sheba – called Bilquis by the Muslims and Makeda by the ancient Abysinnians – traveled by caravan to Solomon’s realm seeking proof of the king’s reputed wisdom. Bearing gifts of exotic spices, a veritable mountain of gold, hearty camels and precious stones, she presented herself to the king and, bearing her heart to him, asked him a series of challenging questions, and was ultimately convinced of the truth of his wisdom, knowledge and judiciousness. In the end, the great king and queen conquered each other’s hearts and fell breathlessly in love: the perfect marriage of equals. Her scent is a bounty of golden honeyed almonds and a whisper of African and Middle Eastern spices.

Arcana - The essence of magickal enigmas and long-forgotten esoteric mysteries. Frankincense, rosemary, lavender, neroli, and lemon verbena.

Port Au Prince - I can't find a description, but I'm betting rum overtones.

Ra - Hail unto Thee who art Ra in Thy rising, even unto Thee who art Ra in Thy strength, who travellest over the Heavens in Thy bark at the Uprising of the Sun. Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm. Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Night!

Spooky - Yes, f00dave, it's your joy juice, all in smells of chocolate, mint, and icky old coconut.

Blood Pearl: Lustrous, sanguine, soft and lavish: soft orris, blood musk, and coconut.

Whitechapel: A gentlemen's blend, possessed of dignity, charm and refinement, but in truth masking a corrupted, hideous, soulless core. White musk, lime, lilac and citron. (Traditionally masculine)

Hecate: Magnificent three-faced Goddess of Magic, the Dark Moon and the Crossroads. She is the Mother of Witches, and the midnight baying of hounds is her paean. Her compassion is evidenced in her role as Psychopomp for Persephone, and her wrath manifests as Medea's revenge. Deep, buttery almond layered over myrrh and dark musk.

Port au Prince is rum, almond, and clove, mostly. Yum! I've got a bottle of it. I like putting it in my hair.

I also realy liked Hecate, but then it only has things I like it in...

Is this from buying, trading, or gifts?

I gought (oh my. What a bizarre typo...) them from the bpal lj group. I paid money, but not very much, because the stuff was quite reasonably priced!

Port Au Prince sounds really yummy. Mmmm....

Ooh! It does! *runs to put it on her wishlist*

I need to use the lj group too.

My order's taking soooooooo long!

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

They do take forever. That's what's nice about the LJ community. You don't have to wait for the stuff to be made!

[happiestsadist.livejournal.com]

I use the forum swaps too. But my order got placed in August! August!

[elanya.livejournal.com]

Aww, it should be soon then! They *are* moving though, and Canada customs can be a bitch about holding oils up :p

[happiestsadist.livejournal.com]

I know, I'm just impatient. I want my imps!

[morriganswitch.livejournal.com]

I have imps of most of these. I have a bunch of Imps of Queen of Sheba, seems every order I get more. If you like it you can have them.

Port- Very spicy. I like it but it doesn't like me. Can have this one too.

I LOVE spooky!

I have Blood Pearl Imppys too.

Maybe we can negotiate a trade. I'll have to look through my imps to see which ones don't work so well on me.

Hecate is lovely! I have two imps of it--I got a frimp with my last lab order. I can't wait for my latest order to come! It's so exciting.

Frimp, eh? We use "gimp" for gift-imp. Free-imp is cool too, though. =)
