This is not helping my need for instant gratification....

A question for the BPAL addicts among you --

So I finally took the plunge and ordered some stuff from BPAL, because their Wanderlust collection sounded really nifty, and I figured it was a small investment on the chance I might actually find a scent I liked and maybe wasn't allergic to.

And this morning I came into work and found my package from them waiting for me. Almost exactly two months after I ordered it.

Is this time lag normal for BPAL? Is it just because I was ordering samples? Or is it always like that, and if so, how do you cope when you're actually into the stuff? 'Cause damn, I've had entire fandoms go by faster than that.

I had to check the username twice. ;)

Wow, I had no idea you even knew what BPAL was! The girls over at the Lush forum are positively bonkers over it - I'll have to bring you to a get-together some time, because some of them bring in like BAGS of BPAL for others to sniff.

And yes, that is normal - although apparently Beth (the owner) has now hired some more help, so it should be getting out faster now.

What'd you get? What scents are in Wanderlust?

Totally not on purpose, but my favorite scent is Old London/London. It's a rosy scent. :)

How can anyone *not* know what BPAL is these days? *g*

The Wanderlust scents looked very cool, which is what finally tipped me over the edge into buying some. http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/wanderlust.html

I got Baghdad, Athens, Cairo (I think), Delphi (I think), New Orleans (I think), and London (of course *g*). Between the name and the fact that it's rose-based, I had to get London. Can't wait to smell it!

This is the first I've heard of BPAL in a non-Lush related area, seriously. No wonder they're so busy....

I *really* love London - I made sugar scrubs with a bit of it last year. I've been wanting to buy a 5 or 10ml bottle, but I didn't want to wait so long. I keep looking around for people swapping it instead. ;)
