BPAL

[amezri]

I've seen a couple people on my flist mentioning BPAL, so I have checked it out.

Uhhh... so. Are imps basically like trial-sizes of the scents? I see on their site that it takes a while for the orders to be filled, which is fine. Also saw there is a comm with mad swapping going on. Bwah?

Other than that... I am totally clueless. Uh. Help? Suggestions? What the dilly yo?

Imps are basically those little sample vials of perfume that department stores give out sometimes. There's a lot of swapping going on, partly because nobody can afford to just buy everything that sounds interesting, and partly because there's no knowing whether the scent will work on you, anyway.

sophia_helix put together an excellent FAQ here.

If you're interested, I can hook you up with a couple of imps.

Uh. I just spent the last two hours looking at the BPAL FAQ and then looking at storage things -- even though I don't even have any Imps!

So, if you could hook me up, that would be cool. Will trade for.. uhm.. I can knit a scarf or make a bracelet for you or something ^^*

I'd trade a few imps for a bracelet. *g*

I have these three imps available right now:
Circe (discontinued): An incomparably enticing blend of intoxicating aquatic scents and florals
Phantasm: Green tea, lemon verbena, jasmine and neroli.
Embalming Fluid: A light, pure scent: white musk, green tea, aloe and lemon.

Do they sound like scents you'd be interested in? If you prefer other types of scents, I can wait until I receive a new batch, as I did a couple of swaps recently.

Oh, definitely! :D Embalming Fluid, especially.

What color bracelet would you like and what's your wrist size? I'll probably use Swarovski crystal, sterling, and semi precious beads.

[voleuse.livejournal.com]

Cool! My wrist, I think, is a little over six inches or so. And I'd love something in blue.

Do I have your address? I can get everything sent out in the next couple of days.

[amezri.livejournal.com]

Cool. Will make something and mail it out to you this weekend.

Am emailing you my address now :)

Just want to make sure the bracelet will fit before I finish it off - it's at 6.5" including the clasp. will this fit?

[voleuse.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that should fit perfectly. *g*

[amezri.livejournal.com]

Cool. Will drop it in the mail tomorrow. It ended up being sapphire swarovski, blue glass, czech glass, sterling silver, and black stone :) Hope you like!
