Reviews of BPAL, Tocca, Ralph Lauren, Sex in the City, Estee Lauder, Chanel

It's been awhile since anyone posted in this comm, and I miss talking perfume with y'all. If you're not interested in any of the perfumes I've reviewed this time in my journal, talk to me here about perfume. What are you testing, wearing, coveting? :)

I have to admit that I am more in love with conventional perfumes than BPAL. BPAL was my entry point, and I still love exploring that world, but IMHO, BPAL can't compare to the conventional perfumes I love best. I've had really good luck ordering conventional perfume samples from Surrender to Chance. Really good prices there and they also have sample packs they've put together if you want to try several perfumes in a single line or from a time period or that feature a specific note. Quick shipping, nothing broken. I really recommend them if you want to branch out into trying conventional stuff on the cheap.

Heh, I am horribly allergic to something in conventional perfumes (I have to hold my breath in those "enter through the perfume counter" department stores) and BPAL is the only thing I've ever found that I can wear without horrible headaches or weird skin rashes. Altho I can't deal with her patchouli note, that is Insta-Migraine. People have told me about other indie perfume oil e-tailers that are cheaper but OMG, I can't justify getting more of those. A lot of BPAL is quirkily hit-or-miss, though, even blends that have good notes for me. Or even later versions of the same blends! hah.

Oh, I completely understand. I am so grateful not to have allergies. If I did though I would be so happy that BPAL has such a varied and endless catalog. There really is something for everyone there.
