Envy is also another crisp minty one, perfect for hot, heavy weather.

I loved this! It was indeed quite sharp in the imp and when I first applied it, but then it seems like the patchouli sort of grounded the sharpness of the ginger and made it more well-rounded and warm.

It's very sexy, very womanly. I don't detect the orangeness very well now that it's dried down a little, but there is something bright mixed in there, and I'm thinking it must be the orange.

I know there's been some confusion over the fact that the Paypal address is a papow.com one, but emails have to be sent to blackphoenixalchemylab.com because the papow.com addresses don't work for actual correspondence. Maybe if the FAQ could clarify that a little it would be helpful.

Gardenia doesn't really work on me, either. It ends up taking over whatever the rest of the fragrance is, and this is exactly what happened here. I didn't get the smokiness at all once it was actually on me, though I could smell it in the vial.

Diluting this with lotion actually seems to have helped a little, though, taking it from a Gardenia kick-in-the-face to a dark floral scent.

Welcome, and we're glad to have you!

I don't think gardenia agrees with my body chemistry, or else it agrees all too well, because that's all I can smell once this even begins to dry on me. I thought the vanilla would take the edge off the gardenia, but I can't even smell it on me. This does eventually (like five hours later) settle into a sophisticated floral blend, but for most of the duration, I smell like a big gardenia. This one's also very strong, so a little dab will do ya.

This is almost fruity on me when wet, but dries to a cross between berries and wood. Not green wood, like the branches the berries would be growing from, but the kind of dark wood that you'd actually find in a bordello (I assume).

This has garnered some strange comments from co-workers, though. One thought I smelled like I'd been smoking a pipe and another said I smelled like incense.

I had to have a bigger bottle of this before I'd finished the imp, it was so great. I was worried it'd be super musky, but the amber comes out more on me, I think. I mean, I can smell some musk, but there's this wonderful rich golden aura all around it and toning it down.

I don't get a "sad" feeling from it like I expected from the name, but that's fine by me!

I love this. It's sweet and fruity, but there's a note in there that makes it crisp, too. It's not sweet in a Juicy Fruit sort of way, more of an adult way. I don't get a boozy smell from this at all. I think it'll be perfect for the warmer months.

This smells intensely of chocolate wet, but dries a smoky sweet sort of smell on me. I see where other people are getting the caramel note from, but I can't tell for sure if that's what it is. It's absolutely delicious. It's the closest thing there is to the way you'd smell after you went home if you worked in a chocolate factory.

I am so glad you guys are getting some help. It's way too much for you to do by yourselves, and the business is only going to grow with the quality of the oils.
