  1. In the imp and wet on the skin, something smells bonfire-y to me. I have a really unsophisticated nose, so I'm guessing that's the wood. Yeah... bonfire + apples to my nose, which makes me think of autumn. Sigh, I love it already. It turns a little bit boozy after a few minutes.

     

    As it dries the wood note fades to the background and the scent of crisp, tart apples comes out on my skin. Getting sweeter as it dries. Yummy :) I will definitely think about getting a bottle of this after my imp is gone :smilenod: It kind of reminds me of that scrub Haunt came out with last Halloween... Wilding Apple, I think? Delicious.

     

    Throw is pretty decent too, and that's saying something because my skin sucks up scent like crazy.


  2. I've recently noticed that when I put my oils anywhere on my neck, collarbone, or chest, my skin breaks out in little unsightly pimples. :rasp: Gross! And disappointing. So, I'm thinking I'll just have to apply to my wrists, arms, crooks of my elbows, and hair from now on. No scent locket yet (I'm awaiting the return of the clockets), but I'm thinking that's a good option too. Also, I decided to get creative and make atomizers out of a few of my oils to see if that alleviates the breakouts. I'm thinking maybe if I don't apply the oil in such a concentrated form on my skin, it'll help. We'll see how it goes!

     

    Ah, the lengths we all go to so we can wear our BPALS :lol:


  3. HALP! I've been looking for the reviews of Minotaur and DD's Alone, but alas cannot find them anywhere! I thought I'd find Alone under 'Retail Exclusives' but it's not there. It is a DD's blend isn't it? I'm lost! :lol:

     

    Thanks! :D

     

    Alone is under the Limited Edition section, in the sub-category A Demon in My View at the top of the page. A Minotaur is also in the LE, in the sub-category A Little Lunacy.

    :wave:

     

    Nevermind, looks like you already got your answer :D

  5. This is very strongly orange blossom in the bottle, with a little bit of sweetness (either citrus or clove?)

     

    When I first put it on, it's like orange blossom IN YO FACE!!! And neroli. I'm not a huge fan of either of these. Then, oddly enough, it drys down to a powdery (in a nice way), sweet, candy-ish, Lush Creamy Candy/Think Pink type scent. Maybe this only happens on my skin. Almost reminds me of Candy Phoenix on the drydown. Very nice! Not a huge fan of it wet, but I loooove the drydown. :smile:
