BPAL Wishlist (favorite scents & notes, LE wants, GC wants)

BPAL I have up for swap (locked).

My BPAL wishlist

I'm always willing to try new BPAL scents or to stock up on my favorites, but there are some scents that I desire more than others. I generally collect imps/decants because I go through oils slowly. You can fund my BPAL obsession through Paypal (swiftskyes AT hotmail DOT com) or ship them to me directly (can't see my contact info? want to? just ask).

I've included information about my favorite scents and notes (to give you an idea of what I like) and my wishlist for both limited edition and general catalog imps. Asterisks denote my highest priorities.

Wood, especially Teak

I love amber and amber-based blends of all varieties, and also like other resins, especially dragon's blood resin. Cocoa is my addiction: the richer, purer, and darker the better. I adore all musks, especially where it conjures the image of fur. I like wood, parchment, spices, sweetened-but-not-sweet scents, and gourmand notes tempered within non-gourmand blends. I wear select florals, and carnation is my favorite by far. I wear some fruits, in particular apple and fig.

I DO NOT like or wear strong florals (especially rose, except carnation) and citrus (except most orange). I dislike all boozy notes as well as tobacco, and generally avoid leather. I am not interested in predominant fruits (exceptions are apple, pumpkin, fig), mint, or overtly modern or perfumey scents.
