BPAL Imps Cometh

[chomiji]

I was mostly going for things that had notes like the mainstream perfumes I like (Calyx, Acqua di Gio, Escape). I have to say that I'm finding the faint smell from the opened shipping box a little obnoxious. I hope that's only one of them.

I requested:

Machu Picchu
Viola
The Rose
Cordelia
51

I also requested Silence, but they said that one wasn't eligible to be an Imp. So I told them what I was trying for, and the following additional things came in the box:

Kyoto
Umbra
Versailles

I don't think I'll even open Umbra - it has patchouli in it and I don't care for that. Kyoto has no fruit notes, which is one of the things I know I like. But I think Versailles was on my short list for this order anyway.

I quite liked Kyoto, and based on what you've said, you might enjoy it. It's not fruity per se, but it's very gentle in a way. The cherry blossoms are not quite floral-floral, but very delicate/sweet.

I have a feeling that I may not be able to get what I want out of BPAL at all because the livelier fruit notes go away too fast without the "unnatural" stuff in mainstream fragrances. But I will try the Kyoto.
