The Truth About 13Gypsies Perfumery, Part 3.

Proof of Her Using Stock Scents:

I was originally going to post scans of the old pamphlets (in fact, I still might do it eventually if need be) she sent out with each order, but I figured it would be easier for me to link to my last Etsy transaction with her instead, complete with the old descriptions: http://www.etsy.com/transaction/19026392

Also, a link toa  transaction somebody had with her back in 2008: http://www.etsy.com/transaction/8848112

Here are examples of the oils she uses, but claims she hand-blended them herself... Please note that she discontinued some of these.  Coincidence?

I am certain there are a lot more in her more recent "hand-blended artisan perfumes", but she has cleverly re-worded the descriptions for the newer ones. that it'll take some more research to find out which ones she used.

Even though I cannot find any for her newer ones, the fact remains that some of the oils above, she still sells to this day.


Similarities to BPAL? No?

I know some similar perfume oil companies will use the same (or similar) names from time to time, but I couldn't pass this one up:


13 (Thirteen)
Absinthe
Blue Moon
Boo
Darkness
Drink Me
Eat Me
Haunted
Jezebel

Mata Hari
Midnight
The Queen of Hearts (BPAL) > Queen of Hearts

Sin

Sugar Skull
Trick or Treat
