  1. I could use a pleasant distraction like SW!

     

    Ditto. Especially of the Halloweenie variety. And in the off-chance any ringleaders are reading this, I'd like to offer any help I can, up to and including volunteering as a ringleader myself.

     

    Thirding this. I was just wondering where SW had gotten off to this morning!


  2. I've purchased some 5 mls lately and am waiting for some wand caps (my weapon of choice for applying), but now I am stuck trying to figure out how to apply my lovely new bottle of Metal Rabbit! How do you apply your bottles without the aid of a wand cap? I feel like I'm missing something obvious!


  3. Powdery, clean melon and fruity goodness. I can't stop huffing my wrist - unfortunately I put it on an hour ago and it seems to be already fading. Pity, because it would be an AMAZING summer scent. :(


  4. A potent yogic oil that stimulates the kundalini, provokes spiritual awakening, and releases the energy seated in your root chakra.

    Incense-y patchouli. Just a little too sharp for my nose, which is odd considering I love patchouli, typically. Alas. It's just a little too medicinal to be a good fit!

  5. On my skin, it smells like a very potent Jolly Rancher, probably melon-flavored? Rather than just calming down, it faded away into obscurity, which is a shame. I'll wear the imp out, but it's not for me.


  6. What an amazing, lemony, vaguely cinnamony scent! Not only that, but it stuck to my skin all day long - not just for an hour or two. It only went away when I went swimming in chlorinated water - I am definitely putting this on a "want a bottle" list! Holy crap.


  7. Minty, citrusy lime. Somehow it manages to smell carbonated (Beth you truly have a gift!), and I can't detect any chocolate at all. It's very light and I am loving the smell on my wrists. If this sticks longer than an hour or two, it's definitely going on my "want a bottle" list. It's delightfully wonderful!


  8. I love this smell. It smells like ozone zapped by white light and pure energy, with a faint floral. Unfortunately, I adore ozone, but it does not adore me - this sticks to my skin better than most ozone-y smells, but it doesn't have any throw and it's already almost 99% faded an hour and a half into wearing it. :(


  9. This is lovely - spicy jasmine with some sort of cinnamon-y twist to it that sticks around and makes its presence known. I loved Follow Me Boy and figured that a scent in this vein would be lovely, and oh my god it is! Bewitching brew indeed.


  10. Spicy patchouli and vetiver - two smells that agree with me well. I think I'm liking this one, but I need to see how long it sticks on me before I commit to wanting a 5 ml. I definitely love the smell though and it's going strong ~45 minutes in, so it might end up being a winner!


  11. Pine and mint!? Two of my favorite smells - I don't know why I hadn't heard of it until now! I am in BPAL love - Pine amps on my skin very well without being too much, and the mint just adds enough to be interesting. When dry it smells almost vanilla - that must be the black musk? I want to put it on my boyfriend, but I want to wear it myself more! Mmmm, I want to roll up in this smell and go to sleep.


  12. Sharp pine at first. On the drydown, it stays fairly piney, but with tinges of something else - no hazelnut notes that I can tell. I've been wearing it for 3 or 4 minutes and it's already fading - can tell my body just isn't a fan. :(


  13. It's very different. It smells like my favorite word - "petrichor" - the smell after the rain. I enjoy the notion that this is the smell of a hurricane after it's ripped through and savaged an area. It seems to be fading so quickly on my skin, though - it's hard to smell it unless I am right up on my wrists and seems to be fading already, maybe 10 minutes after the first application. :( A shame, because otherwise I'd be buying a bottle - I do like it very much!


  14. Ozone, soft flowers, and a hint of powder. What a lovely scent - I completely agree with the above poster who suggested it's the smell of a nice day being pushed out by a storm. It smells amazing, and is strong with a decent throw without being overpowering. If it stays this nice a couple of hours from now, I might just have to add it to my bottle wishlist. Mmmm - I want to roll my clean laundry in this smell and roll in it!
