Also, I got my Valentine's Day BPAL order. And promptly realized that, with the new frimps added to my collection, I now have around ~40 imps that I have yet to try. (I've tried all my bottles, but the frimps just pile up!) So I figured I was overdue for some reviewing. >_<

PARLEMENT OF FOULES
For the Valentine’s Day purists.

For this was on seynt Volantynys day
Whan euery bryd comyth there to chese his mate.

Medieval romance and courtly love. White rose and soft resins.
...okay, it's a frickin' CHAUCER scent, you know I totally had to try it. XD

In the bottle: Roses.
Wet: Roses, with a faint undertone of Robitussin? Some kind of sweetly alcoholic scent, anyway.
Dry: Mostly the same. The Robitussin disappears, and it sweetens up a bit.
Verdict: A very pretty, romantic, traditionally feminine scent. In other words, not for me. Damn, I half had a feeling it wouldn't work, but I had to give it a chance for good ol' Geoffrey's sake. D:

THE PERFUMED GARDEN
Under her neck my right hand
Has served her for a cushion,
And to draw her to me
I have sent out my left hand,
Which bore her up as a bed.

The Perfumed Garden for the Soul's Recreation. This scent is based on a venerable Tunisian perfume that was used to excite the senses, inspire sensuality and inflame passion. Myrrh and Moroccan jasmine with apple peel, Indian sandalwood, myrtle, quince, citron, and thyme poured over soft musk.

In the bottle: A faintly spicy floral.
Wet: A kind of alcoholic jasmine. Then the fruitiness of the apple peel comes out pretty quickly, though it still smells like alcohol.
Dry: Still very jasminey. Too much so, at least for me.
Verdict: Ouch, 0 for 2. D:

JUKE JOINT
A bawdy, gleefully wicked and unruly scent: Kentucky Bourbon, sugar and a sprig of mint.
An imp from

aurianrose that I'm only just now getting around to trying.

In the bottle: A faintly spicy floral.
Wet: Mint and a smoky scent, which kind of vacillates between smelling like nasty-ass vetiver and being the nice smoky scent from Tombstone. It finally stabilizes as the nice one though.
Dry: Actually quite nice...kind of like Tombstone's minty younger sibling.
Verdict: I like this...not sure whether I want a bottle, but I'll definitely use up the imp.

Let's Positive Linking!
