Xiuhtecuhtli is lovely and smokey/incensey with floral undertones.

Muscle ache relief. This is interesting, I have a lot of problems with muscle pain (long boring story!) plus all sorts of other problems so had to order imp packs of the entire Panacea range. Today I have very bad neck pain so I've gently massaged this into my neck. It's too soon to say if it will do anything longer term but it's certainly very nice so far. It's sort of cooling and warming at the same time, I know that makes no sense, it's a lovely sensation on my sore muscles. It's certainly worth hanging onto and using even just for temporary relief. I have a very sore spot in my poor back (have already dosed up on codeine which hasn't touched it ) but unfortunately it's a spot I can't reach and my husband is away so I'll have to wait a week before I can try it out in that area. One question if anyone can help - I have a decant of the massage oil on it's way and I can see that being of huge benefit. Are they any reasons why I might need a bottle of the regular oil as well as the massage oil? It did occur to me that oil would be easier if I want to rub some into my neck while at work for example (less messy!) but is there anything else I haven't thought of?

Deep, rich coconut with a hint of hazelnut. There's just the teeniest suggestion of the anise but it's barely there at all. I absolutely love this, a definite bottle purchase, maybe even two.

I love Aprogenes and Nude Male, Arms Upstretched. I'm still waiting for some decants I haven't tried yet, hopefully they will arrive tomorrow so I have time to test before they come down.

This has a lovely scent in the shower, very true to Snake Oil perfume. It doesn't linger for long though and is more or less undetectable once I've dried off. This is not so bad though as it least it means I can enjoy it in the shower without worrying about it clashing with my perfume for the day.

I think I might love this. It starts out a bit too minty for my liking (I'm not a fan of mint at all) but settles into a lovely Snake Oil/Red Musk combo with just a hint of peppermint. Really lovely. I need to give this a full day wear to be sure but it may well be a keeper.

Definitely all pine and snow on me. It doesn't really agree with me and I'm starting to realise that snowy scents and I just don't get on. Would be wonderful for anyone who likes cold wintery scents though.

This smells exactly like mould on me, I don't like it at all. I'd love to see what it smells like on other people though as I'm curious as to whether it's my skin chemistry making it so bad. I'm very new to this and I wonder if it's the earthy scents I should be avoiding or if there's a particular note(s) that isn't working for me here? I'm sure I'll have alot of fun playing with imps and narrowing it down anyway
