So I am opening the floor to you, my friends, to join me in this delicious smelling odyssey.<br /><br />I would prefer for this Lab order to consist only of people local to me (or soon to be local again - I'm looking at you <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://kali-kali.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://kali-kali.dreamwidth.org/'><b>kali_kali</b></a></span>) here in Ottawa, but exceptions will be made for my good and dear friends elsewhere if they would really want to participate.<br /><br />Ideally I would like this order to have no more than 20 items, but if people are willing to pay additional for shipping - the price rises to $21 for over 20 items - I would be willing to consider it.<br /><br />Freebies from the Lab will be split as equitably as possible.<br /><br />For those of you new to Bpal (I know I gave a couple of you some to try) samples are called 'Imp's ears' or 'Imps' for short. They are sold individually for $4 or in a pack of 6 for $22. A good way to find out what you might like to try is to use the <a href="http://www.bpal.org/search/">search engine</a> to search for notes that you might like such as rose, lavender, lilac, lime, lemon, citrus, frankincense, peony, musk - you get the idea - and then picking out the perfumes whose description is most intriguing.<br /><br />Some scents aren't available in imp form, only in full 5ml bottles. Others are only available in pre-made imp packs which are more expensive due to the cost of the essential oils within. Don't worry, if you pick one of those I will let you know.<br /><br />There is no final date on when the order will take place - probably when 20 items are reached and everyone who has ordered something has paid for it.<br /><br />According to the Lab:<br /><br />One 5ml = 1 item<br />Twelve imps = 1 item<br /><br />Here is the list of items so far:<br /><br />1) Bottle of Villain for me <br /><br />2) Bottle of Envy for me<br /><br />3) Two imp packs for me<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=greensleeves&ditemid=631050" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://greensleeves.dreamwidth.org/631050.html public 0
