Weekly Free-For-All

[synecdochic]

(I might move this around in the week a few times until I work out when it works for me to post these.)

This post is a free-for-all for people to:

a) post links to perfume-related content they posted elsewhere (on or off DW)
b) talk about anything they want to talk about that isn't big enough for a full post
c) socialize and hang out without worrying about "off topic"
d) or anything else that comes to mind!

Whatcha wearing today? (Me: BPAL's "Brimstone", which I am absolutely perplexed by. I can't decide if it smells amazing or hideous on me.)

What's on your mind re: TAL? I've been scouring the site since my order, and I found that part of the BPAL line really interesting. Have you used anything from there?

[sathari]

I have indeed used some of the TAL oils--- not in a few years, though, so I'd have to go back through my collection and jog my memory about specifics. :) (I remember that Horn of Plenty and Has No Hanna combined as aromatherapy used to be good if I wanted to take a nap, though, but I think at least one of those is actually BPAL's Voodoo line--- yes, being too lazy to check, here. :) ) Mostly I was just interested in other people's thoughts/experiences with TAL oils!

I would be interested in anything to help me sleep. I have come to the insomnia game late after a lifetime of champion sleeping and it sucks. :(

[synecdochic]

I've heard good things said about much of the main site's Somnium line, with TKO being the one that most people rave about.

[lunabee34]

Thanks! That is good to know.

[sathari]

Oh, wow, I'm sorry you're having sleep-challenges--- those suck! The two I mentioned and Somnus have worked well for me for that.

Turns out one of the perfumes I bought (nanshe) is actually part of the sleep line. I got it because someone recced it to me for the lavender, but I am stoked by all the reviews that say it is very soporific.

If it works for me, I probably will try that entire line.

[sathari]

Good luck!

[lunabee34]

Thank you!

I really like the TALs (I should note: Pagan and witchy over here, for a short-form version, and many of them fit into both my religious and magical practices, but not all of them.)

My favourites include Gainful Employment (which I think isn't posted, but you can request via order comments), Concentration (which I swear got me through the Worst Grad School Semester Ever), and Road Opener (which is about opening up opportunities.) And I've tried or got smaller amounts of a bunch of the others (Anthelion got me through some hard times, and Block Buster, also very productive.)

[lunabee34]

What does concentration smell like? I could certainly use some help in that arena. LOL
