New BPAL to play with!

In thanks for letting her store some stuff at Elsinore over the summer, blendedchaitea gave me a bag of BPAL imps to play with. I am not certain, actually, if they are for keeps or just to try out, but either way, it was very generous of her and really made me smile. I am inventorying them and their collections so I remember which ones I got from her:



Ars Amatoria
SALOMÉ
A scent that is both coquettish and sinister. Exotic and lush, brimming with grace and viciousness: almond with star jasmine, oakmoss, red sandalwood and Egyptian musk.

Diabolus
AKUMA
Devilish temptation, as sweet as sin: blood orange, neroli, and raspberry.

LOUP GAROU
The wild, untamed essence of lycanthropy. Primeval in its raw power and insatiable hunger: juniper, cypress and galangal with the barest touch of eucalyptus.

BLUEBEARD
A scent swirling with dark rage, unbridled jealousy, and murderous intent. Violet, lavender, white musk and vetiver.

A Picnic in Arkham
THE HIGH PRIEST NOT TO BE DESCRIBED
Monastic incense, blood musk, black leather, cypress, pimento, white pepper, and Roman chamomile.

Excolo
GRANDMOTHER OF GHOSTS
Her scent swirls with a high-pitched tumult of laurel, stargazer lily, splintered woods, peony, mandarin and white musk, and is spiked with pale pepper. (A very garden scent, not only the flowers but the rich earth as well.)

EUPHROSYNE
The Grace of Mirth
Gardenia, tea rose, vanilla and jasmine.

OLD SCRATCH
Old Nick, the Devil himself, as seen through the eyes of Victorian New England. A jaunty, dapper scent, deceptively genteel: a lavender fougere with tonka, amber, rosewood and a whiff of diabolical patchouli.

PANNYCHIS
An attendant of the Goddess Venus. She presides over nocturnal pleasure, nighttime festivities, and all the joy and delight that can be found in the darkness. In later ages, it became the name of the all-night festival that closed the Eleusinian Mysteries. Night-blooming jasmine, moonflower, cardamom, sandalwood, black currant, ylang ylang, frankincense and lily.

GAUEKO
Blackened sandalwood and misty lavender, with curling wisps of smoky tobacco, nag champa, and labdanum.

Ars Draconis
DRAGON'S EYE
A piercing, radiant perfume: dragon's blood resin, lily of the valley, lilac and galbanum.

DRAGON'S MUSK
Dominant, passionate, devastating. Dragon’s blood and five deep musks.

The Mad Tea Party
THE MOCK TURTLE'S LESSONS
Not quite Turtle Soup: blurry aquatic notes, with a confusing, contrary splort of iris, ambrette, green apple, vodka, white mint and a squish of lime.

THE DODO
‘Red musk, lemon peel, sugar cane, cassia, white sandalwood, mango, and agarwood.

THE UNICORN
A misty, almost luminous perfume: wispy linden blossoms, white flowers, and a touch of sweet herbs.

Ars Morideni
THANATOPSIS
A meditation upon death. Inspired by William Cullen Bryant's poem. A deep, solomn earthen scent containing pine, juniper and musk.

WINGS of AZRAEL
Azrael is the Angel of Death, marked as the last being to die in the Apocalypse. Though a harbinger of doom, his duties are an act of mercy: he curtails human life before world-weariness and despair destroys our spirits. Warm myrrh swirled with a bittersweet blend of violet, Lily of the Valley, juniper, cypess and cajeput.

Illyria
TAMORA
Amber, heliotrope, golden sandalwood, peach blossom and vanilla bean.

REGAN
A deceptively sweet orchid vanille with a faint trace of stephanotis.

Wanderlust
ROME
Refined, austere and graceful. A recipe gleaned from Classical Rome: cypress, juniper, chamomile and rose.

FLORENCE
The pearl of the Italian Renaissance. Elegant iris, bright berries, gilded amber and velvety spices.

VERSAILLES
Grand, courtly and robust: a glittering, golden scent that would do Louis XIV proud. Gilded red and gold citrus with amber, ruby roses, jasmine and orris.

Bewitching Brews
LA BELLE DAME SANS MERCI
The name translates to "the beautiful woman without mercy", and is the title of an old French court poem that was later revamped by John Keats. A bewitching, seductive scent, rife with mystery and foreboding.

BLACK OPAL
A play of geological darkness and jagged brilliance. Soft and luminescent with flashes of black fire.

JACK
The scent of warm, glowing jack o'lanterns on a warm autumn night: true Halloween pumpkin, spiced with nutmeg, glowing peach and murky clove.

LAMPADES
Their scent is the crisp, inviting bittersweet tang of cranberry with smoky dark lilies, heady, sensual musk, a tingle of ginger and a brush of Mediterranean spices.

EPHEMERA
The scent of loss, love and the echo of time without end: sorrowful violet and chamomile with muguet, white geranium, calla lily and tea rose with a hint of autumn leaves.

ULALUME
Starry white lilies lend an eerie brightness to the deep black wooded scents of cypress and oak, layered with a touch of crushed dried leaves and the faintest aquatic note.
