Olfactory Orgasm

I'm all a-flutter, the BPAL Halloween scents have arrived!

Gee, I just love the over-the-top, slightly purple-prosy descriptions of their perfume oils. The beautiful thing is that (most of) the scents definitely deliver the olfactory ecstasy they promise. I'm tempted of buying:

SAMHAIN 2007
"Truly the scent of autumn itself - damp woods, fir needle, and black patchouli with the gentlest touches of warm pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, allspice, sweet red apple and mullein."
* Yay, aphrodisiac pumpkin pie! Call me a hippy, but I actually like patchouli (in sensible doses, mind you).

(from the HAUNTED HOUSE series:)

THE CHILLING CELLAR:
"Wine just turning to vinegar, crumbling mortar, red clay, and the coppery tang of old blood."
* So Gothic it hurts. But in a good way.

THE FORBIDDING FOYER
"Thick shadows hang heavy across fungus-smeared, dilapidated wainscoting, cobwebs hang like fine lace across sagging mouldings, rats scuttle past gaping doorways. The faint scent of brimstone, ghostly breath laced with cognac, neglected mahogany panels, and rot."
* Sounds like a Grim Old Place (geddit?).

THE LURID LIBRARY
"The incense-tinged scent of forbidden tomes and the musk-laden remnants of infernal servants."
* I mean, the name alone... *squeeeee*

THE TWISTED OAK TREE
"Blackened, rotted oak wood blanketed in moss and choked by a cloak of grasping ivy."
* I love both woody and green scents, so this should be great.

Brilliant - particularly as a Sex and the City spoof.
