fiercebunnyI got my imp of Bpal's La Fee Verte from the decant circle that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
honeyjubilee was running a few weeks ago. I don't know why it took me so long to sign up for a decant circle. It certainly makes more sense to split the prices together and acquire samples rather than buying full bottles blind, which is how I had been buying the Limited Editions.
I already have an imp of Bpal's Absinthe blend; it's okay, not one my favorite scents, but not bad. I really wanted to try La Fee Verte, almost just for the name's sake (I'm interested in French history, particularly the Fin du Siecle period. And also okay, I admit, because I loved Moulin Rouge!)although the ingredients did sound good too.
Here's the Lab's description:
"A variant on the absinthe theme. Sugared wormwood, hyssop and melissa with calamus, angelica and Dittany of Crete, blended with a Bohemian perfume of vanilla musk, honey absolute and Moroccan spices"
And? It smells good. Really good. Really omg-I-love-this-can't-stop-smelling-my-wrist-we-wants-it-my-precious-I-must-have-it-NOW good. It's much sweeter and feminine than their regular Absinthe, and although it gradually fades to the vanilla musk/honey/melissa scent, it still smells, well, green for lack of a better word. It smells so good, it may even tie with Dorian as my favorite scent evar. The bad part? It's part of a $50 set of oil and statue, limited to 300 pieces. WHY, O Deity-of-your-choice, can't it be General Catalogue? I don't even want the statue; my house is cluttered enough without statuary of demonic beings added to it. I spent an indecent amount of perfume this month already, but the more I think about it, the more I'm sure I really need this. Must acquire and horde the preeeeciousss.
Clearly, decant circles are a horrible idea and a sure path to temptation and the devil.
