If PayPal says something about exceeding your account limit, check your credit card expiry date before. I forgot updating my PayPal account, and I missed the Fruit Moon LE because of that. I e-mailed the PayPal guys, who answered *after* the Fruit Moon expiry date.

Wet: orange flower flavoured marzipan; marzipan with tiny bits of candied orange peels; marzipan with orange liqueur! That is the almond scent I've been looking for, and it's not at all the almond scent I thought I was looking for. A breathtaking almond/neroli symphony; I almost forgot how well good ol' boring neroli would work on me; thanks to the Lab for reminding me of that. Then marzipan heavily flavoured with rose water.

The rose swallows everything, it sways from juicy rose (neroli?) to rose dried by sandalwood. A beautiful rose, but I'm longing for the wet phase, and I can't fully appreciate it to its merits.

On me it fades pretty fast - weren't rose and sandalwood supposed to be long lasting?

I realize just now that orange flower oolong tea and almond flavoured black tea are my fav teas. Since Beth tea blends are so gorgeous that I've not been able to choose my fav one, if I may toss in my suggestion..

Thank you all ; I'll Paypal order as for the regular catalogue scents.

I'm not in the USA, so I can't order using the BPAL official site.

I think it should be possible to buy LE using Paypal, but what about Little Lunacies? Lunacy oils last only 24 hours and I can't miss Peony Moon. I know it's a long time before Peony Moon, but if moving to the States is the only way to get it, I have to apply for a green card .

On me, it is mainly blackberry and musk. I cannot clearly detect sage - but isn't sage a bit musky ? - and other berries. No green tea.

I get the same juicy sweet and tart feeling I get from Dorian. Though very sweet, to me it's not at all Lush creamy candy; it's much more in the area of Blackberry Bomb, which I love, even if not so incensey - dry.

As already said, it's berries covered forest floor flecked by late summer sun; homemade berry jam (I don'like jam, especially when home made; but things I would never eat such as white chocolate seem to smell great on me). It reminds me of the cherry syrup my mother used to brew with cherry leaves and red wine: very berrilicious, purple red, an underlying green leaves feeling. Something Arwen could wear in Rivendell.

Good staying power and very good wafting power too.

A frimp from the Lab, and on my wishlist.

First I get a sweet and clean aquatic note - somehow between cucumber an mint - I suppose it's China rain; I love that; a whiff of vetiver ; but almost immediately on me it turns in very clean, sharp, strong, bold and high pitched laundry soap

Very almondy but not foody, with a green grassy edge - (Middle Eastern spices?); the honey/spices are not very apparent, it's rather a warm and sweet aura. The grass is sweet and aromatic, it's grass freshly mown turning into hay in a lazy sunny day with bees buzzing around. The almond is shifting in the background and the honey in the foreground - busy bees buzzing louder - no good, I don't like honey. No spices still. It fades very quickly; 1 hour and it's gone.

ETA: I was so wrong about its staying power; after 13 hours, it was very faint on elbows crooks, but almost in its full glory around cleavage. Maybe it depends on where you apply it: I must do further experimentig.

Disclaimer: applied while hurrying to work, in the midst of Spring allergy, and my first review.

Wet: I can see the Snowcake vibe, but Dana is warm, much sweeter and foody, while Snowcake is cool and slightly floral.

Drydown: sweet and floral, almost cloying. Maybe because I can't stop sniffing my wrists very close

Later: it's growing more similar to Snowcake/Smitten, with the same clean and almost crisp background, but it's still warm very foody and yummy. Lovely, but very faint.

Finalit seems to have disappeared, but every now and then I can catch a wafting whiff, and if I smell my wrists it's just myself, only better. Much more better indeed. I think it would be great as a body lotion.

Computer free idea to keep track of your oils:

- write the name or print the oil livejournal avatar/label on a blank address card

- add a drop of chosen oil

- store in a little box/address card holder/sheet with address card pouches

Can someone help me out with this?  I do not have Excel and I've never used it before.  I'd love to have some method of keeping track of this stuff on my PC, but I'm totally lost when it comes to this stuff.  Where can I get Excel or another program that will allow me to use these spreadsheets?

 

Thanks in advance!

You can download "OpenOffice" or get a CD at http://www.openoffice.org/about_us/new.html

the download is free and Calc (the OpenOffice spreadsheet) can read Excel files.

I think Excel is a bit better for advanced users, but MS Office costs a lot.. sometimes there are students discounts.

I wonder if Voodo is similar to Seaweed Sushi (face detergent, discontinued)..

There is anything to compliment Sea Veg Soap? It lists lavender and lime, but to me it smells salty

I'm interested in that, since I don't have any PayPal account

Thank you.. I'm going to smell like chocolate covered marzipan or marzipan filled chocolate

I really like almond: but there are so many oils with almond..

I need your suggestions: which scent is the most almondy one -

maybe Eclipse ?

I'm also looking for a Dark chocolate scent , the only one seems to be Gluttony - am I right?

Thank you
