I also can have trouble with musk going cologne on me. I would though do as someone suggested test various scents. I forever thought honey went catpee on me which sucked cause I love the smell of honey. I just discovered though it is not honey, but milk scents, Dana O Shea which I love in the bottle cat pee. So I suggest playing around a bit. I also have discovered while milk is cat pee cream is not.

Another thanks to allidavie, but now I hate you I am so in love with this scent. I knew, knew, knew I should not open that tester and try it. This is so wonderful its Cakesmash (which is a fave) x 10. I know I will never be able to get my hands on more, but am so thankful for having this rare oppurtunity.

I jumped on to see if there were any SW talking going on and lo and behold. I did my first SW last year and had a blast am really looking forward to doing it this year.

I spent way to much on this, but for some reason had to have it. I am not sure it is a scent I will wear, but the nostalgia it brings back is well worth it. I do at first get that very strong ink from the bottle and while still wet. Then this turns into something that is a memory. The scent sort of reminds of a bookstore my mom owned. The newer books that still had that ink smell, mixed with the older books whose pages had begun to turn and had been handled by many along the way. I do not think of this as a perfume scent but a memory in a bottle. Some scents just bring us back to a place or time in our lives and this one does that for me. I am not sure I will keep the whole bottle as I think an imp just to take me back once in a while will be sufficient. The rest like a good book should be shared and loved by many.

I also have an idea and would love to see a flip-flop swap. I am in no way able to run a swap as organization is not my thing. I know with summer upon us we can all find reasonable priced cute and tacky flip-flops so a summer based flip-flop swap might be fun.

We have a dollar store I would be up for this : )

I was toying with the idea of a "spring cleaning" swap (which was admittedly inspired by a query that came to me earlier this year, but was never posted). The idea would be that we would each send at least 10 little things that we didn't not buy specifically for the swap, but that we think that our swap partner would like. Product samples would be a good start in almost any package, but we could include other things too, so long as anything included was new or only gently used (e.g. books, and the like).

 

Interest?

Oh I would love a swap like this. I have things that I have picked up thinking oh that would be great for a swap and then my swappee ends up having different tastes. I am in if you decide to do it.

OK I will dive in on this one. On me straight plum no other notes just plum. Not sure if this is me amping or just the way it smells wet and dry. I have it swapping because for me it is just to sweet and fruity. I so wanted to love this and maybe with some aging this might mellow on my skin.

Love, love, love this scent. I was worried I would get to much of a wine or cigarette scent from this I do not get any. I get a beautiful sweet and creamy, but sexy scent. I love snake oil, but for me it does occasionally get to strong. This little beauty takes my snake oil and makes it a softer, silkier work of art. I only ordered an imp in a decant circle, I am going to try and swap for several bottles of this it is amazing.

Mojo, have you ever tried Sheol? This is totally not related to your scent preferences, but it immediately popped into my head for your personality (which I guess is kind of the point). It's very dramatic and smoky, strong, but not cloying as musk-based scents can be. The florals make it sweet amidst the darkness, which I think would speak to your kindness amidst the mystery and less social nature. I used to really love it myself since even though I dislike most florals, it was ashy/incense-y enough to be grounded.

 

Vibrant gladiola, graceful stargazer lily, triumphant iris and bright heliotrope flare, and is finally made somber by heavy copal, a drop of labdanum, and tonka.

For something spicy, perhaps Morocco. I feel like it's both mature and warmly inviting, plus it's one of those scents that might help inspire more confidence when interacting with others.

 

Arabian spices wind through a blend of warm musk, carnation, red sandalwood and cassia.

To speak specifically to your dom/sadistic side, Spanked sounds almost perfect with the spicy cardamom and leather.

Whip leather, cardamom, patchouli and bourbon.

Maybe even Pallas Athene - three different spices, a bit of incense, plus soothing amber amidst grounded, woodsy base?

Antiqued amber, cumin, saffron, frankincense, Atlas cedar, myrrh, mandarin, Ceylon cinnamon bark, and osmanthus.

Thank you for the suggestions I like Morocco and just reading the description of Palles Athene I think I would like it. Sheol I am unfamiliar with, but am going to look through my imps and if I do not have it add it to my wishlist. Again thank this was fun.

OK I really cannot do any recomendations, but could sure use some.

Though I appear out going and friendly at work I suffer from social anxiety though and so am a big fail in socializing with others,I am trying though. I am often the rock in my family and am described by others as caring and sweet. My favorite town so far is San Francisco. My daughter and I took the greyhound over springbreak and spent a week in a youth hostel. We did not have a ton of money, but we loved just walking ecerywhere. Haight Ashbury and China Town were huge hits, as well as the thrift stores both in the Mission district and the Haight Ashbury Good Will. I cannot stand to eat fruit, but love veggies and believe spices are mannah from the heavens. I am a Dominant in relationships, yes I know at odds with my anxiety issue, but also am a bit of a sadist. I enjoy causing pain, but only to those who consent.I am a boho type of girl with a love for the quirky and unusual.

I am not sure this is the right place, but I ordered the Sprinklecake forum only and forgot to include my user name in the comments. Not sure if this will be OK or not.
