apparently, I sometimes shop

I placed my first BPAL order tonight.

I ordered imps, because no matter how rave the reviews of anything involving scent, I have been pretty much monogamous to my perfume for a decade now (the longest relationship I've ever had *g*), so I don't think I'll do more than flirt with anything from BPAL.

My sweetie, by the way, is 'Samsara' by Guerlain. Here's what their site has to say: "In Sanskrit, Samsara means the eternal cycle of life."

Which is why I wanted to try it in the first place. Heh. I was taking comparative religion in school at the time, and I just couldn't resist the name. The base is tonka, sandalwood and vanilla. There are notes of jasmine and iris, and the top is citrusy and and spicy. It's very reactive to personal chemistry; it rarely smells the same, even on me. Usually, I smell the sandalwood above all else, but the florals and the citrus vary from day to day. Which I adore. I can wear the same perfume seven days in a row and never really smell the same thing twice.

So, under the cut, is what I ordered, and the descriptions ( ... )

Hmm, can't wait.
