ReallyZeb

When wet its sharp and lemony, which is probably the motherwort? Very light and fresh. Once dry, much more herbal and less lemony, and after about half an hour it smells like herbal kitten belly

Wet: comforting spices Dry: a warm fuzziness, reminds me of warm spiced milk without being milky. There can't be cinnamon in it as my skin isn't peeling off! Very low throw, might be a nice comforting bedtime scent.

Wet & in the imp: sharp, animalistic musk Dry: More forest evergreen, quite dry, walking on pine needles but the muskiness in the background still and eventually the warm hazelnut appears very subtly

Honeyed patchouli with cypress, black pine, and tobacco absolute. Both wet and dry I get a deep dark patchouli with a hint of forest greenery and a little sweetness from the honey. I dont detect the tobacco. The throw is massive and it stays around quite a while too. I love it, and if you love patchouli you'll love it too!

This is lovely - the cucumber dominated in the bottle but you get both notes on the skin. The tomato comes out more once it has dried properly. It's far more real tomato than tomato leaf on this one. It reminds me of another favourite, Planting Moon, but doesn't quite have the staying power..

When it’s wet I get pear drops and a bit of bubblegum too. Once it’s dried the champaca moves to the front. There’s a hint of the white musk. I don’t get any fizz, or any grapefruit which is a shame, and it’s all quite faint. Very girly and probably not for me.

In the bottle it’s all leather and saddle soap Wet on the skin I can find the cardamon and it’s quite strong, with a background of old leather. The patchouli is playing nice. Once it’s dry I get cardamon, leather, Snake Oil and Smut - but still no patchouli. This might well change after it’s rested for a while.

In the bottle - bitter, sharp florals Wet: I get a bit of pear drop but the bitterness persists. The cedar wood starts coming to the fore as it dries. There's a tiny touch of salt. When dry I don’t get any blackcurrant but I do detect the gardenia, along with the still present cedar wood and some green bitterness which I think must be the henbane. It’s a very dry scent when I was expecting something much juicier. After about an hour the blackcurrant finally turns up and makes it a softer scent, but still with that tiny background bitterness

In the bottle it’s expensive woody traditionally men’s cologne. Wet on skin its all balsam and benzoin, I can’t get any other notes. Slightly sharp. As it dries I get the tiniest hint of tomato leaf and the mahogany. It’s hard to stop huffing my skin. The patchouli is hiding. Once dry the mahogany amps up and this is a gorgeous woody, spicy blend. I can’t quite pick up the cardamon yet there is a touch of spice. Still no trace of the patch. Throw is quite wide and I keep walking around wondering what smells so damn good. It me.

In the bottle - GREEN!!!!! Wet -Slightly floral green tea, light, fresh, delicate, not sweet. Like the scent you get when you break some thicker green flower stems, the green of a florists shop. When dry it's slightly less green and I get a touch of sandalwood which warms it a little, and maybe a tinge of rice but still very light, stays close to the skin and doesn't overpower.

The Bay of Rainbows: red currant, orange blossom, yellow lemon peel, green moss, blue violet, and indigo poppy refracted through a shimmering pool of golden musk, mugwort, champa attar, and saffron-infused agarwood. When it's wet the main note I pick up is the redcurrant, with a slightly woody note. Once it dries down I'm finding it very hard to pick out individual notes on this as it all blends so beautifully together - if I try to concentrate on picking out a note it seems to shimmer and change quite a bit. Overall a fruity sort of incense, not overpowering and very gently musky. I don't really pick up the green moss and the noticable currant vanished as it dried but there's still a sweet and fruity note. i find myself wishing that the moss and the lemon shone through a bit more on me but it's hellishly hot here so I will retry when the weather cools down.

I don't have a slipper I love yet, but I'm working on it. So, which of these things might you like? Give me some thoughts on colors you like & if for a teapot or press, I need to know a size. The only thing I would want is a weird creation of my own devising - arm warmers that go from shoulder to elbow only (quite wide for large arms) and joined across the back to hold them in place. Colours - purple/blue/green/black but honestly anything other than pink or yellow. I have tons of fingerless gloves, mostly made by Twi! I enjoy historical reproductions and am a fan of LBCC Historical Apothecary. Is there something in her store you might be interested in? Oh yes! Enchanted Woodland powder & a puff or Cucumber Cold Cream 9/12/20 Does anyone like the prints or items from www.ElissaMarieCreative.com ? I have a few of her prints and the notebooks and they are quality! The Mewl prints are fun What about www.drawingsbynicole.com? Anything specific? no thank you Does anything from www.vapidlacquer.com stick out to you? Nonsense polish, nail elixir in Continuity or Dulcet I do pour painting/acrylic fluid art (with varying degrees of success, haha). Would you like a custom piece in colors of your choice (takes 3-4 weeks with curing, longer if you want it sealed, so it would arrive post-round if custom) or a piece already finished in my collection? I have mostly 12 x 12 and 10 x 10s right now. Pics available upon request! Probably not 9/11/20 Do you have a particular fandom you'd like stuff from? Firefly, Captain Marvel, Ms Marvel, Studio Ghibli, Babylon 5 How do you feel about tea? Preferences? Would you want anything from David's Tea (https://www.davidstea.com/us_en/home/), Steepologie (https://www.steepologie.com/), Bird & Blend (https://birdandblendtea.com/us_en/), or do you have a favorite tea maker to suggest? What about tea tools or cups? I like black teas, chai or smoky flavours How do you feel about fragrant things for the home like incense, candles, atmosphere spray? Atmo sprays are good, as are candles with a safe holder/container rather than things that go in a candlestick. Incense gets too messy. Do you share your home with any loved ones (human, feline, canine, etc.) who might enjoy a tiny treat too? 3 cats who like toys, but no catnip please as one is allergic 9/9/20 would anybody like a small cross stitch thing, like a patch or pin? or cross stitching notions like handmade needle minders? not my sort of thing 9/8/20 Art and artists - anyone dig any of this? https://www.studiodesade.com/ (They also do masks, see here.) Not really my sort of thing If you knit/crochet/weave, would you like custom dyed yarn? And if so do you have preference on weight, fiber, colors? I don't do that sort of craft what is one fun/frivolous thing for $20 or less that you’d enjoy? USB or battery halloween string lights, fancy garden stakes If I sent you to a dollar store with $20, what would you walk out with? Plant pots, wooden plant labels, medium sized food storage boxes 9/5/20 what are your feelings on home made/ home canned jams & pickles or syrups? I even make things with berries I grow in my garden. I make both brandied & bourbon cherries. Syrups good for cocktails, in lemonade or tea, flavors include Lavender, Lavender + Lemon, & Lavender + Vanilla. Interested? Cherries sound lovely but probably quite heavy to ship. I wouldn't eat lavender anything. Is there something that you're especially hoping to receive for this round? For example, a brand you've heard of that you're especially wanting to try, or a certain "thing" that you really want but just cant bring yourself to buy for yourself?? Would you rather receive supplies/tools for your own craft/hobby or receive something you can't make yourself? Something I can't make myself Is there anything you'd like from Penzeys (https://www.penzeys.com/)? Pico Fruta and Arizona Dreaming look interesting 9/3/20 Would you like anything from here? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TaterRoundsBeauty No thank you 9/2/20 Would you like a face mask from one of my favorite artists? https://akumuink.com/collections/facemasks No thank you one of our fellow BPAL friends makes custom masks, Hakutaku Custom Masks on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/HakutakuMasks/ ). Would anyone be interested in one of her masks? I love these - 15, 17 & of course 40 are the best 9/1/20 are you familiar with https://www.a-natural-alternative.com/ ? Take a peak & let me know if you might like to try something. 8/30/20 Is there anything you want from Japan? Other than that, anime goods, cute stationery, other Japanese snacks, lay it on me! Rice crackers and teriyaki chips, cute stationery, ground white sesame seeds, a secondhand large haori What are your favorite self-care items or activities? I'm especially curious about things that you hesitate to do/get because they feel like frivolous luxuries. My self care was always lovely meals out, so failing at an answer right now. I garden to relax 8/29/20 Does anything from Paintbox Soapworks catch your eye (http://paintboxsoapworks.com/)? GOAT or Pick-a-Duck candles Does anything from the Trading Post's etsy page catch your eye (https://www.etsy.com/shop/bptradingpost)? Atmos - Sanjuana Rokkasen and Manao Tupapau

Since this arrived I've been struggling to pick anything else to wear at all. It's old and dusty and endless and burrows right into my soul. When I try to separate the notes I end up with tears in my eyes because it is so damn beautiful. That doesn't help you know what it smells like but if you get some and don't like it, sell it to me!

I only use eyeliner Are you interested in trying different skincare products from higher end, clean brands? no thank you, skin is incredibly tetchy these days Any interest in anything from Torrid, noting their "fangirl" and Halloween collections are updated?

Kickstarter (and similar): Any thoughts, witches? I was reading that they were refusing to allow a union and fired two union organisers and so I am now boycotting them. I have 2 Patreons and do like them. 9/28/19 Do you have an Etsy/Goodreads/Amazon or anything else wishlist you’d like to share? at the top of this blog And what’s your preferred wrist/necklace size? in my questionnaire Does anything from Bird & Blend take your fancy? my question, I get lots from there Knitting questions have have been asked, but how about wash cloths, anyone need any? What colors?? not for me thanks is there anything from World Market that tickles your fancy? I like the various geometric desk organisers, then I wandered into the cookware section and there is far too much and its too heavy, but I love the little magnetic coloured spice tins 9/29/19 There's a special thing happening over at Rituel de Fille this weekend, where some gorgeous makeup items are coming back for just a couple of days. I'll be placing an order Sunday or Monday- anything that might strike your fancy, either from the special sale or from the site in general? (https://ritueldefille.com) I only use self sharpening eyeliner How do you feel about tarot or oracle decks? Would you be interested in any (for artwork or for mystical purposes)? New or used? Not for me, while they're usually really pretty, I no longer use them. My life feels like it is continuously The Tower. Would pigment samples from companies like M.A.C. or Notoriously Morbid tickle your fancy? If so, what colors catch you eye? Not for me 9/30/19 do you have a favourite saying or quote? Far too many so I'll just pick these: In order to fly all one must do is simply miss the ground - Douglas Adams We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars - Oscar Wilde Not today - Arya Stark/Syrio Forel (in case you have no idea what I'm talking about, see https://youtu.be/ZcjQ4rQQ8H8 - that entire 5 minscene got me through chemo on some very bad days) How do you feel about spicy foods, and where on the Scoville scale do you hit your limit? Much less able to tolerate than I used to be - probably around 1000 right now. I'm hoping it improves again How do you feel about coloring books, especially those pertaining to a personal interest or fandom? I always get them and never use them so it would be a waste 10/1/19 A few questions have been asked about knitted items--are crocheted equivalents acceptable? (crocheted fingerless gloves, shawls, etc.) Any fiber issues? crochet is fine, nothing itchy please About the Weenies: please list what you've bought or are definitely purchasing for yourself *as well as* what you would like to possibly receive from someone else! I'm not buying anything immediately during the round, waiting for reviews.

Anywhere between hard cider to straight whisk(e)y? And any interest in the "unusual" stuff? (unusual as in non-mainstream, local craft ciders or meads, regional fruit wines, experiments from local distilleries, etc) I drink Irish whiskey, proper mead and Jack Daniels with or without honey. 10/2/19 Nail Polish: Do you need or want some? If so, what colors and brands are you interested in? I wear it in winter when not gardening. I like pale and unicorn like for my hands, dark and dramatic for my toes. I generally only succumb to BPTP nail varnishes because that's where I see them! For darks, purples, greens, jade, teal Does anyone else do nail wraps? Nope What about postcards? Not for me Is anyone interested in anything from the Nocturne Alchemy Halloween release (or, presumably, anything else from the site)? If you really need me to look, get someone to prod me, its all a bit overwhelming How do you feel about salt? I don’t mean, like, salted nuts or potato chips. I mean straight-up salt, like alder-smoked finishing salt or Hana Flake sea salt. I have some smoked salt flakes but I forget to use it so probably a waste 10/3/19 I am infamous for baking (shortbreads savory and sweet, poundcake, various cookies and bars), butter caramels (flavored or plain), and catnip. Are any of these relevant to you or your household? shortbread and caramel/fudge would find a home. I avoid much catnip because my cats are mad enough already Do you like to cook and do you need/want any spices for such pursuits? More long pepper, but I think that's easier to get over in the UK Would you wear any of these? Fern , Nuada, Manannan, Duleek Abbey or an infinity scarf or tube cowl tall enough for a hood (like this scarf or this cowl for shape example)? I like Duleek Abbey Do you have any utilitarian needs for everyday life? Things that would help or that you've been needing or wanting for work or whatever? Lightweight produce bags for loose dry goods or fruit/veg What kind of vegan snacks do you like? And vegan chocolate...favorites? I don't like vegan chocolate really. I like puffed chickpea snacks such as Hippeas, especially the smoky flavour, blue corn chips, corn puff type things 10/4/19 How would you describe your crafting style? Whimsical & Cute? Elegantly modern? Totally Traditional? Erm ... Inept? 10/6/19 So....we are about to process a metric f*ton of green tomato relish, which is basically bread and butter pickles but with sliced green cherry tomatoes. Is this relevant to any witchees? I like pickles but have zero idea what bread and butter pickles are. Love relishes! How do you celebrate Halloween/Samhain? Do you dress up? Would you like something for your costume? And am I the only person left on the planet who wears socks? I don't dress up but I do wear socks, as long as they are not longer than mid calf 10/7/19 Are you interested in anything from Art Of Tea or Adagio Teas? I like black teas, 1896 looks interesting on Art of Tea, from Adagio I like the look of Cat Scratch, Candy Apple Concoction and Thai tea I make light-weight hairfalls, doll-style, using a variety of fun stuff, like ribbons, lace and soft batting. Would you be interested in receiving a set in the colors of your choosing? Not for me And a quick question here--I'm going to this amazing looking event on Saturday--does my witchee see anything they might be interested in? https://www.facebook.com/events/903999316607440/ (the Oddities Market) This looks fascinating but no idea what I would want - maybe something strange rom the quack medicine type of stall? 10/8/19 How do you feel about enamel pins? Love them, hate them, slightly interested, totally indifferent? Interested if its cool 0/10/19 what is your T-shirt/shirt of choice Size? Usually XXL, prefer v necks 10/11/2019 OCTOBER LUNACY! I know turn around time is unlikely, but just saying (JUST SAYING), dear Witchee, did anything catch your eye? Songs of Autumn 1, Chlorophyll, Fall, Leaves, Fall or Hypnotize Me https://archaichoney.com/bloodmoonbotanica (Britton used to run Haus of Gloi.) Witchee, are you interested in any kinds of things from the Blood Moon Botanica update? No thank you, I'm on too many meds that might react also I took some beading classes and have been making bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. Would you be interested in any? If so, how big is your wrist or how long would you like your bracelet? Any preferred styles of beads? I like seed bead bracelets but I'm a klutz and would likely destroy it by catching it on something, so usually only go for sturdier things 10/13/19 If I was to donate to an animal rescue on your behalf as the "lucyboo" component of this swap, is there one in particular that you would choose? It would probably be a cat rescue 10/14/19 What is your very favorite Halloween candy? If you don't have one/don't do candy, what's a seasonal treat you love? I like Reese's Pieces and fudge and jelly belly beans

A perfume of freedom, regeneration, and renewal: bitter orange and tangerine with warm patchouli, tobacco absolute, glittering amber, and white musk. This starts with the bitter orange note which is lovely. Once dry it rounds out and darkens somewhat - the orange is still there but it has taken a woody, masculine turn. The patchouli doesn't make itself stand out although I presume it's responsible for that. After an hour or so I can pick out the underlying tobacco. I can't find the amber or musk at all. This would smell really good on a man I think, but I'm unsure if it will suit me - but I will keep it to see if aging changes it.

White sage and patchouli with Himalayan cedarwood, sweet labdanum, and brown sugar. Sorry, this one ended up a bit stream of consciousness! In the bottle it is a very sharp sage with an edge of the cedarwood. Wet on my skin I get a peatiness that makes me think of a good whiskey, but the patchouli is just behind it peeking out from under. Drinking whiskey in a long established library on a rainy day somewhere in Ireland. As it dries I'm having a problem tearing my nose away from the scent, it is gorgeous. There's a slight citrus fizz to it and the sage has softened a lot. Gradually it softens out to a smooth herbal patchouli, so mellow and comforting that I think I will fall asleep with my wrist pressed to my nose. There's still a faint trace in the morning.

Give Me Thy Breath, My Sister “Give me thy breath, my sister,” exclaimed Beatrice; “for I am faint with common air! And give me this flower of thine, which I separate with gentlest fingers from the stem, and place it close beside my heart.” Lilith absolutely adores her carnivorous plants. She is doting and gentle… decidedly loving… and tends them with all of her precise, attentive Virgo care. She has a small pot of scarlet pink pitcher plants that are all her own, and two bogs that she shares with mom and dad. Rosy snap-traps, syrupy mucilage, and pink, ballooning bladders: a scent like honey cotton candy, with hints of mint, sugar crystals, and a hint of crisp, bog-moist greenery. In the bottle it's minty candy floss. When applied it's sharply mint first, then sugary mint like creme de menthe. After it dries its fruity and pink, reminding me most of Rosy Maple Moth but less citrusy, more minty. This would be a perfect early summer scent.

Swift joy and bright passion: white lavender, lemon verbena, and elemi. When it's wet, and in the bottle, this is all lavender and nothing else. However once it dries it turns completely to a beautiful fresh lemon oil scent, no trace of lavender at all. It stays that way for about an hour and then gradually softens. It still remains lemony but not zingy. Lemon usually disappears fast on me but 3 hours in and its still soft lemon, very slightly herbal, but starting to fade. I can't pick out elemi under all the lemon.

In some interpretations, her shield bears the eagle of dominion, in others, it is emblazoned with the symbol of the planet Venus. The sovereignty of love, the protection and succor of a benevolent mother-queen: white patchouli and helichrysum with blackcurrant, white sage, praline, vetiver, and orris root. This is straight out of the mail so I may add more once it has settles. In the bottle: its praline with a back kick of vetiver and nothing else Wet: The first thing I get is the sage, and a dryness that I presume is the orris root. Dry: As it dries, the sage stays in the forefront, very herbal. There's a depth of patchouli/vetiver but it's not overpowering. I'm not getting any currant and the praline has vanished.

When wet it's a strong, bright and fruity oil, nothing much else. Once it dries it's still beautifully fruity, but not at all sweet. There's a distant incensey back note, like you just walked past a hippy shop with their door closed, and that works to round the scent out but the overall impression is glorious red fruit. I don't get a bitter note at all.

Pumpkin, mandarin, black pepper, frankincense, red sandalwood, and carnation. I got a sniffie of this free ... not something I would have ordered as I would have been scared of it! The first blast is almost pure black pepper but as it dries I keep getting wafts of pumpkin. This isn't your super sweet pie type pumpkin, this is savoury, this is moroccan-spiced pumpkin. I don't exactly get the mandarin but I get a sort of dried citrus peel smell if I sniff really hard. No sandalwood as far as I can tell, but maybe it's submerged under all that pepper, which still stays dominant. I don;t recognise any carnation either - but other people have said they find carnation spicy, and this is certainly spicy so it might just be nose fail on my part. I'm really glad I got to try this one.

When wet it is laundry washed in seawater, a saltier version of dryer sheets, but on me it morphs quite quickly into a fresh men's cologne scent. After half an hour or so it turns into beautiful soft sun-bleached woods with just a touch of the ocean. It only hangs around for a couple of hours but is somehow very comforting, and not particularly masculine. If a partner of mine was wearing this I'd just need to snuggle as close as possible to them.

I got this as a frimp in a Trading Post order and have been sniffing my wrist all day but I suck at detecting notes - so here goes nothing ... Wet: It's slightly fruity, a sharp, green floral note and a sweet background. I'm not sure that I will like this. It is bugging me that I can't remember what it reminds me of at this stage. Dry: It dries to something that is definitely foody on me - maybe buttery shortbread or else pie crust - sugary sweetness, a tiny touch of spice, a richness that I think is butter and then maybe some skin musk. I really like it once it's dry. It's still lingering some 8 hours later.

Molten gold, well-oiled gears, coal dust, dragon’s blood incense, flame-retardant leather, and precious resins. It smells like all the good things that come to mind when I call up a workshop without the nastiness of smells like oily rags and paint thinner. There is a warm metal brought out by rich spices(black pepper, ginger and maybe cardamon), there is dragon's blood, but without skin to warm it, it stays a controllable level. I'm pretty sure there's frankincense too - and those well-oiled gears are oiled with something nicer than petrochemicals. To me there's the slightly citrus note from No. 93 Engine. I get a tiny hint of spicy suede, like a well worn jacket. The one thing I don't get is coal dust, for which I'm quite glad! The overall mix is well rounded, rich and welcoming and, rather unsurprisingly, warm. This will be lovely to warm up a cold dark room later in the year - something to spray when I get in from work.
