    Dark Chocolate and Key Lime Truffle

    In the IMP it smells like a sugary sweet lime flavoured ice lolly. On me the chocloate comes through strongly with hints of lime. . As it dries the chocolate is more pronounced with hints of leafy green mint. After awhile it smells like a clean powdery lime skittle. It's actually very refreshing

    Banded Sea Snake (2006)

    Oily, sweet soapy leafy goodness in the IMP... on me the oil is thick and golden in color and smells like rich warm smoky oak. It evokes images of leather clad books filling an old 18th century castle library. The romantic heroine curled up by the fireplace, her handsome Duke at her side ... Unfortunately as much as I like the fantasy I don't really want to small like it all day ... although it would do very nicely in a bath or in an oil burner.

    Butterflies and Plovers

    In the IMP it’s an eastern mixture of spicy orange. On me at first it’s all WHOA Patchouli, after a bit of dry down it’s a warm spicy violet with hints of orange and some clean soapiness. I was thinking it wouldn’t work and be too spicy but it’s actually lovely. I can’t see myself wearing it but it’ll be going in the tub for a luxurious bath … can we say Persian Princess?

    Strawberry Moon 2009

    In the bottle - boozy strawberries. On my skin it's a bright wet and juicy strawberry with hints of green grass. It smells like a warm summer afternoon of loving in a strawberry field. The strawberry sweetness has faded with more of the greeness coming forward with hints of flowery goodness ... its BEAUTIFUL (Thanks to my witch )

Pomana If you wear earrings, do you have pierced ears? Yes You are meeting up with someone on a casual lunch/early afternoon thing. This person is someone you want to impress/look good for (for whatever reason, not necessarily romantic, and not necessarily for business either). What would you look like, given the contents of your wardrobe/etc? It depends if it was business or pleasure. If it was business I have a great black pencil dress that I would wear with a very fitted pinstripe jacket and a long necklace and top it with killer heels. If it was personal then either a pretty flowery sundress or jeans and heels. You are to be let loose in a clothing store of your choice, to pick a full outfit, down to the shoes, the accessories, etc. and things would be altered to fit you if needed. What store would that be, and what would you look like? Anthrapologie. A pretty empire flowery flowing form fitting sundress, a long beaded necklace, a cute pair of sandals, wedge heels or boots. Examples: Dress Dress 2 Dress 3 You open a box from the post office to reveal the 3 things you want most right now. What are they? (caveats: size doesn't matter, but they have to be tangible/buyable). Cowboy boots, ceramic egg cups, a pretty cover for my Nook Color. WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF!!! movies, comedians, black humor, your partner, a comic strip? what? Crude comedy, anything dirty and gross (movies, books, my DH) Candy Corn? Nope I live in Japan. Anything you would be interested in from there? Anything. If you have cats, do they like catnip toys? If you have doggies, would they like a super-reinforced canvas toy with a squeaker in it? I have 2 rats so anything for rodents. If you have kids, what are they into? 2 boys so anything: Disney Cars, Star Wars, anything with flashing lights. How do you feel about wearable knitted lace? Shawls, wraps, and the like? YES! I love shawls and wraps. Looking at the warehouse, I notice that our lovely Greenwoodtree is able to do chart readings and/or forecasts at a very reasonable rate. Is this something you would want? Sure. Do you have a forum buddy? Someone who knows you and/or your tastes well enough to answer questions on your behalf? Glambie knows me pretty well Do you like cute, seasonal or fluffy PJ bottoms? Like they sell at Target, Old Navy (they have had cute Halloween ones!) If so, what size do you wear? Love them. Large would be perfect. What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc? I like milk chocolate with nuts. But generally any chocolate is perfect. I live near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Penzeys! What does your little heart desire from any or all of these places? I’ve heard of all of these places but have none nearby so have never been. Are home made foods acceptable or does the idea of eating strange mailed food disturb you? Don’t mind. I just gave you $20 and sent you into a "has everything" store ala Walmart and told you that you have to come out having spent it all, and none of it on anything you need. What would you buy? Be as specific as possible! A few tank tops, candle wax/tarts (for warmers), some stationary and stickers What kind of cuisines do you like? (I mentioned this in my ?aire but curious what my witch may like) And, what are your favorite restaurants? Love love Indian Restaurants and Chinese. Pub food too. I love Zaxby’s, Long Horn, Outback … pretyy much any food place. I'm from Canada - is there anything specifically a witchee might like that is only available here? Not that I can think of. What are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up? I want a shirt from Teefury so badly but haven’t got one yet. I would prefer something girlie but would love anything from there. Do you have an eReader and if so which one? I have a Nook Color and I love it, but I still love real books. Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn? I love my scentsy warmer (that I use Walmart wax on and it works fine) But we love candles too. Especially in winter time! Would you be interested in washable/reusable muslin "paper" towels (basically muslin squares hemmed around the edge)? Maybe in some sort of box to put on your kitchen or bathroom counter? That would be awesome. Do you drink alcohol and if so, would you be OK with your witch sending you homemade infused vodka? Also, does your state allow alcohol to be shipped through the mail (for example, PA doesn't). Love drinking but we’re not big drinkers … and I can’t handle my alcohol very well. But sure you can send some. Marzipan? It’s ok. If you get me (or a fellow Aussie, if there are any playing this round) as a witch or witch's minion, would you like to try some Australian specialties, such as TimTams (delicious chocolately cookies), Caramello Koalas (koala shaped chocolates filled with gloopy caramel), Australian native spices or anything like that? Sure. If your witch is a knitter, crocheter or sewer, is there a particular type of garment you would love to receive (hat, scarf, wrap, cowl, socks, fingerless gloves, arm warmers etc)? Anything! Is there anyone else in your house (kids, pets, partner) that would really appreciate a small gift being included for them in the switchwitchy haul so they don't feel left out? If you want. I have two sons (3 ½ and 1 ½) and a DH. How would you feel about a taste of (insert witch location here) box? Anything local or special to you.

I have 5 bushels of tomatoes sitting in the kitchen right now that are supposed to turn into red sauce tomorrow, so would anyone like a basic red sauce (spaghetti sauce) to make its way to them? Thanks but no thank-you Would you be interested in having a bat adopted in your name? Any animal, sure. Some of your favorite artists? Classic and modern? I love Claude Monet (“Water Lillies” and the “Chinese Bridge”) I love Klimts “Kiss” and all the beautiful garden and cottage paintings of Thomas Kinkade. I love landscapes or anything happy. I also love photographs (color and B&W) Chinese Bridge Still kicking myself that DH and I went to Paris and I didn't go to the gallery that had his works Water Lillies The Kiss Thomas Kinkade Random landscape photo that I like. If you could have an image or certain subject painted for you on any type of "canvas" (on a box, on paper, on a canvas, and so on) - could you point your witch to some of these images? Anything … but if you need inspiration, anything pretty or mythical or geeky (MLP, Star Wars, fairies, Unicorns ect.) Ninjas or Pirates? I love both but I’d have to say PIRATES! Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions? Not so much traditions but we always decorate, go trick or treating and dress up. Are you OK with "special deliveries"? YES! Is the address in your questionnaire the best place to reach you for said deliveries? No, my work physical address would be better so just let me know if you need it. If the delivery requires a phone number (as say, some florists do) would you be OK with that information being tracked down by your Witch or asked of you anonymously? I don’t mind that at all. Would you be interested in beer, wine, or other specialty beverages from your Witch's area? Sure, just don’t get arrested! Who likes Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses?

I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.” Neil Gaiman What's one random thing you really like and one random thing you really dislike? Like – Fall Dislike - Humidity Are there any herbs that you haven't been able to lay hands on that I could send you? I love herbs so anything.

If so, what do you like to grow? I don’t have one but really want to start growing herbs and vegetables in pots out back. Any favorite Bath & Body Works scents/products? I love them all! Anything apple or berry. Haus of Gloi is offering custom perfumes - would you like one? What would your ideal blend be? Strawberry!

    Ultraviolet

    In the IMP - A very sharp mint violet. On me it's pretty much the same but with the violet being more pronounced. It actually smells like Vix vapour Rub tainted with Violet. The more it sinks into my skin the less it smells like Vix and more and more like a very dark Violet. For some reason all I can think of is Alice in Wonderland when she's talking/singing with the flowers. It's lovely, dark and mysterious

    Lilium Inter Spinas

    In the IMP floral-apple-granny. Bright apple, warm fig and sandal wood mixed with baby powder...... apple scented baby powder.

    Mania

    Oh my oh my oh my. I thought this might be too musky on me but it's a very pretty pink/strawberry/fruit/sweet/bubblegum/musk. Reminds me of the Lampades but is a more sweet subtle way. Lovely
  9. loubric

    Kabuki

    IIn the IMP it smells like Cherry flavoured medicine. On my skin? LICORICE with hints of cherry and chocolate. Reminds me of The Lampades but less musk. Very very sexy. I didn't think I'd like it, but I do

    The Deep Ones

    Sniffing the IMP it's very fruity and soapy. On me it's a lovely orange soapy smell. Clean, salty and creamy. Orange soap. I like it.
  11. loubric

    Machu Picchu

    In the IMP it's very sweet alcohol infused fruits. On me it's very medicated at first then it's more honey and warmth with hints of amber. On dry down it's more like a bar of floral fruit soap. Clean, fruity and pretty. Later .. yeah turns to powder on me. Pretty powder.
  12. loubric

    The Pool of Tears

    On me it's a lovely blend of watery, salty lavender with hints of sweetness. Clean and creamy. It smells like the ocean and if I close my eyes it takes me too a cottage by the sea, the soft ocean breeze blowing through open windows with crisp linen curtains, comfy cream sofas and white washed walls. Beautiful.

    Lilith's Tea Party

    Imaginary génoise cakes, imaginary trifle (with imaginary rosewater, imaginary Madeira and imaginary strawberries), imaginary macaroons, and imaginary Devonshire tea served in an imaginary garden surrounded by one-thousand imaginary flowers. I opened the bottle and my first thoughts were "Oh no, no no no no." all I could smell was an overwelming sick smell of foody sweetness (not in a good way) however I thought I had to test it on myself first and thank-goodness I did! On me all trace of sickingly food is gone and replaced with a gorgeous mixture of straberry, pink, cake, subtle flower sweetness with hints of tea. My skin turns it into a very sophisticated yummy strawberry vanilla cake floral scent! Edit just put some more on and I fear it might be too food for me

    Harvest Moon 2011

    In th ebottle it's rich, sweet juicy apples, berries and plums with hints of spice. On me its Fall! Apple and warm plum. I can smell the cool and smokiness coming through but it's subtle. It's sweet and perfect for Fall (or rather waiting for Fall to arrive )
  15. I'm going to be trying Lilith's tea Party, might be quite foody but the description sounded gorgeous! I'll look up all these other's too, thank-you!

    Boober

    Ye gads I must have a bottle. Sweet crisp light lemony clean freshness. Hints of green tea and soft lovliness. Reminds me slightly of The Unicorn but with more green.

  18. loubric

    Dorian

    A lovely blend of strong tea, vanilla and hints of lemon. I like the vanilla/green tea mixture. It reminds me of one of my fav .. Shanghai being mixed with vanilla. I like it.
  19. Can anyone reccomend a very sweet strawberry scent (artificial strawberry) I have Smackers Strawberry lotion at home that is awesome. Maybe even a BPAL that smelt like Troll hair (from the 80's 90's) that fake strawberry smell? I have Strawberry Moon 2012 that I love but thats more of a real strawberry and I need a fake one
