BPAL is very... hardy. I don't use a lot of it (and you're not supposed to anyway) and I can generally still smell it as much as 8 hours later depending on the one I use. It's not a strong scent that late in the day, but I sometimes get whiffs of it and if I bring my wrist to my nose, I can smell it.

I favour the orientals scent wise. I VERY rarely do the florals or citrus blends. I don't like the way they smell. I also like the musk based ones.

I got 6 imps from BPAL. Imps are TINY (like about 5ml) and absolutely great for testing out scents. My favourites are:

Serpent's Kiss: Seething with passion, yet utterly cold-blooded. Dragon's blood, vetivert and spice.
Incubus:Spectral white musk and the heart-stopping chill of sheared mint, fanned by caramel-touched body heat, and the diabolical sensuality of black musk, nicotiana, and sage.

Given the opportunity, I'd buy a bottle of either of the two without question. I got the imps around mid-January and I generally wear one of them every day. I have easily half of imps from each sample left.
