BPAL: items purchased; items received.

a great deal of movement occured on my BPAL spreadsheet today..

ordered from the lab...

Fruit Moon (in celebration of August's full moon) - "The bountiful, bright and vivacious prelude to the Harvest. A horde of wet, ripe fruits: green apple, apricot, blackberry, black cherry, black and red currants, cantaloupe, English pear, guava, lemon and lime, orange, mandarin orange, kiwi and mango, passion fruit, papaya, Georgia peach, raspberry, plum, tangerine, pomegranate and strawberry over a luminous blend of lunar oils."

Numb - "...a singularly chilly, delectably ice-rimmed perfume. Revel in the gelid polar frostiness that is Numb..." mmmm, gelid.

The Star - This is for the Tarot card of the same name. Forumites describe it as "glowing".

Imps..

• Neo-tokyo - reedy bamboo, crisp mountain air, cherry blossoms, delicate orchid and a splash of playful, wet fruits.
• Verdandi - Deep herbs and apple with black amber.
• March Hare - apricot and sweet clove.
• Vinland - Crisp northern wind blowing over loganberry, wild roses, prairie crocus, iris versicolor Linné, mountain avens, yellow birch bark, mayflower and maple leaf.
• London - Venerable Victorian Tea Rose… twisted, blackened and emboldened with wickedness.
• Hanging Gardens - date palm, ebony, fir, pomegranate, plum, two pears, quince, fig, and grapevine with plumeria, three gardenias and dry rose.

ordered from a forumite in Singapore...

• Has No Hanna - "Brings a rush of good luck, lifts the spirit, and helps alleviate depression."
• Burial - "The Dark Side of Earth: deep, brooding forest scents, including juniper and patchouli. The scent of upturned cemetery loam mingling with floral offerings to the dead."
• Sea of Glass - "A scent of inimitable purity, crystalline grace, and limitless light."
• Hurricane
• Embalming Fluid (decided I couldn't wait for my lab order...) - White musk, green tea, aloe, lemon.
• Phantasm - Green tea, lemon verbena, jasmine and neroli.
• Cathode - Ambergris, Spanish Moss, oakmoss and three electric mints.

i hope these will arrive before my trip.

Arrivals from the UK...

• Dirty - Linen, tea
• Danube - Rhododendron, bellflower, aquatic
• Spellbound - Rose, amber, musk
• Skuld - Ylang, honey, musk, labdanum
• Blood - Dragons blood resin, myrrh, cherry, clove
• Vixen - Orange blossom, ginger, patchouli

i also have a pending order from someone on LJ that i think will arrive quite soon-- i scored a few of the Springtime in Arkham LE scents:

• Yog-Sothoth - "This is the scent of air and darkness."
• Kingsport - "Salty ocean breezes touched by a numinous, incandescent mist."
• Whippoorwill - "Spanish moss, cedar, black pepper, oakmoss, juniper, bamboo reeds and cardamom."

and a surprise gift for a friend.

whew. i think i should... stop.

when i get back from vacation, my lab orders will start rolling in, and i suspect i won't feel as frustrated, and that means i won't be as likely to buy things from people on LJ and the Forum. at least, i hope so.

yes, when i read the notes in Phantasm, i couldn't believe you hadn't already gotten it :) Neo-Tokyo sounds as if it could be your sort of thing as well.
