Hot and heady; intoxicating and intense...I think this is one of the stronger BPAL oils that I have tried. It follows me like a vapor trail!

I love the floral sweetness of this one. On me though, it needs something to anchor it. I'll likely layer with a dab of patchouli or sandalwood.

Makes me think of night-blooming flowers climbing on an iron trellis.

Very true to nature...much stronger though, which is fine by me!

This smells like baby shampoo to me...very clean and fresh!

This reminds me of my favorite- Namaste, oddly enough...though not as bright and sour and wonderful.

In the vial it smells so sweet, that I almost didn't even try it on my skin...

I don't really smell the wine.

A lovely one!

Warm, and woody. It smells savory on me...food-y, but not sweet at all. I think I smell sage...

One glorious moment of sexy chaos starting with jasmine and forest and ending with carnation.

Carnation.

I think I am especially sensitive to carnation...if it is in a blend, carnation is ALL I smell. It blocks everything else from reaching my nose. I don't know why this is.

This one is beautiful. Sweeter than you would think and a tiny bit spicy. Unfortunately it felt irritating on my skin...would make a very sensual room scent.

There's something in this one that smelled like Listerine on me...unfortunately it was the one thing my nose kept coming back to.

I wanted to love this, because I have been searching for a good dreaming oil. It started out sweetly herbal, but after a few minutes it turned a bit skunky...I have a body chemistry that makes choosing perfumes very hit or miss. Thank heavens for imp's ears.

Oh, this is lovely. Beautiful jasmine, incense, lemon drops, and that salty undercurrent that really good patchouli imparts.

Swoon.

This goes on the short list. Rose with an edge.

**edited to add: I smell violets in this, and something bitter and herbal that is familiar...and driving me crazy trying to place it!

This smells like babies to me.

Sweet and fresh and new, and SO not for me, but really beautiful.

This is not as dark as I expected. It's deep and sweet, and I catch bits of citrus and baby powder in amongst the amber and musk.

Very nice.

**edited to add: ooooo. It turned weird on me! It smells a little almond-y and metallic...

This one is not good on me...it is SO sweet. Mostly I just smell bubble gum and berries, drying down much later to a dusty green. I like the dusty green, but not enough to wait out the syrup. This one has amazing staying power, though. I really wanted to like this one...

It looks like 99% of the orders up to 3-5-04 (Internationals excluded) should be leaving today. I processed their tracking info last night, but since I never got a confirmation for them from the USPS, I'm going to have to assume that none of the recipients did either.

 

I've got a new little helper and she /seems/ to be working out very well.

 

Back to the oil mines...

Hey Brian (and/or Elizabeth),

I have an order that was placed 3-5 and also another placed 3-8... I haven't received any sort of delivery confirmation, and I am wondering if the two orders will be coming along later in the same box to save postage. That's fine and would make perfect sense to me. My zip code is 64108. If you need more information I can PM it to you. I'm not in a rush, I'm just curious.

Thanks!

Mmmm. Smells quite amber-y on me, but a complex, green amber. I want to wear this on a summer night.

You've got to love the name!

Everyone says 'hippy shop', but I don't agree. This is likely my absolute favorite at present. It's a very clear and womanly scent. Makes me think of royal purple. I love how the roses, amber, and musk bloom and recede...it's always changing. Sweet, but not cloying. Exotic, but simple. Makes the man purrr...

It lasts and lasts!

This is beautiful...roses, but golden and sparkling. Dries down to dusky honey. One of my absolute favorites!

I adore rose, but this one just isn't me...

It's a sharp, powerful rose and I can only smell the cinnamon as it's on it's way out.
