So. I have this crazy wacked out dream.

I want to order all of the Snakes in the Snake Pit and all of the Ladies in the Ladies of the Grindhouse.

This is a LOT of BPAL and certainly not all of it will smell good on me and I'm not interested in some of it, either.

Would people be willing to order and split the thing? We could work out a way for people to claim or split certain bottles.

FAIZA'S COMPANIONS: THE SNAKE PIT - Total cost $250.
ASP VIPER: Snake Oil with red mandarin, myrrh, and almond.

AUSTRALIAN COPPERHEAD: Snake Oil with acai berry, amber, cardamom, neroli, and smoked vanilla.

BANDED SEA SNAKE: Snake Oil with oakmoss, sea moss, and olive leaf.

BOOMSLANG: Snake Oil with cocoa, teakwood, and rice milk.

CORAL SNAKE: Snake Oil with blood orange, red apple, lemon peel, plumeria, and gardenia.

COTTONMOUTH: Snake Oil with linden blossom, calla lily, passion flower, and narcissus.

DEATH ADDER: Snake Oil with vetiver, black coconut, vanilla, and opoponax.

GREEN TREE VIPER: Snake Oil with four mints, bergamot, and green tea.

HABU: Snake Oil with ho wood, teak, black musk, and bamboo.

KING COBRA: Snake Oil with orris, frankincense, and copal.

SAW-SCALED VIPER: Snake Oil with cinnamon, cassia, and red ginger.

TEMPLE VIPER: Snake Oil with sugar cane, frankincense, champaca, opoponax, labdanum, and hyssop.

WESTERN DIAMONDBACK: Oil with leather, tonka bean, red sandalwood, and sage.

I'd certainly be down for that.

Plus I still have your other decants ;)

I start vacation next week and once my parents are gone, my schedule is pretty open to getting together whenever.

Awesome.

Let me know and we can get together at some point for dinner or lunch or something.

Schweet! Also, if you have a big get together, I can just bring decanting supplies and we can decant there as people decide if they like/don't like scents.

Wooooo!

That's fantastic!

I tried to get in on a decant circle two weeks ago, but never heard back from the organizer... I just pinged her again and if I didn't make her cutoff, I might be interested in going in with you somehow. :)

Let me know how that goes for you.

Kay, my other fell thru. Count me in, if you're doing it.

Awesome. When I get home, I'll put up a post with dates and times and all of that.

i might be interested in trying a LITTLE bit. I haven't ever tried it. So nothing too weird. and no Patchouli (barf)

*nods* Well, if you want to try just a little bit, I'm sure we could gather up the spare imps we have and send them you direction.

well its kind of like World of Warcraft or LARPing. Or Heroin I guess. Wanna try but scared of addiction.

I understand that entirely.

but it is SO much better than WoW, because it means actual human interaction. :)

I would love to split a bottle of Boomslang and Saw Scaled Viper. I'm still on the fence about the Grindhouse Ladies...if it so happens that imps or partials could be made, I'd try a couple.

*nods* I'm not sure how deep I want to get into decanting but I'm open to the possibilities. Really, I want to smell all of them since there are some that I /think/ I'd like but I'm not sure.

From: [identity profile] kitty-das.livejournal.com
I totally understand that - I think decanting would be such a hassle, I often join circles but I can't imagine running one. I'd love to see a picture of your order once it arrives, oh the joy of seeing all of those bottles!

Well, the ultimate idea would be to have a gathering and have everyone be able to see such a thing and, even better, smell such a thing!

And you know have wine and chocolate and maybe dinner.

Awesome!

Gah! I want to try some of these, but I'm beyond broke... if I magically come up with some money, I'll let you know...

*thumbs up* I think we have some time in here.

I would be happy to sniff many of those...... :)

From: [identity profile] lithera.livejournal.com
I'm sure we could do such a thing.

but once I sniff, and like... then I want... heh...

oh, the torture!

Arg. Before this crazy shit with the car window (more costs incurred today, which I don't even want to talk about), I would have said OMG YES PLS. Sigh. Another time.

*hugs*

Stupid car window.

so....I am not a lady, I understand this.

but I would be willing to kick in..

when are you looking at doing this? but, yes, really.

While I would usually be in on stuff like this, I'm currently on a buying hiatus. I have been buying too much stuff lately, and I am putting the brakes on.

Thought I'd chime in tho since I've been so active with BPAL lately.
