    Snake Oil

    I was very hesitant to try Snake Oil at first, spicy scents usually don't work on me at all. But I finally got over my nervousness and gave it a shot, and I'm so glad I did! Wet: It's very strong and spicy in the imp. I kinda shied away from it when I took the cap off, because it was almost overpowering. I couldn't smell any vanilla at all. Very exotic, though. Drydown: At first, it was still too spicy for my tastes, but after about 15 minutes, the vanilla came out to play! And it's soft, sensual, bedroom-vanilla, not cookies and ice cream-vanilla. This one is definitely gonna need a couple of bottles! Also, I've never been able to find an oil that really lasts on my skin. I have a tendency to suck up fragrances after a few minutes, but Snake Oil is a laster. I've had it on for about 4 hours, and I can still smell it. Yay!!

    The Dodo

    THE DODO ‘In that case,’ said the Dodo solemnly, rising to its feet, ‘I move that the meeting adjourn, for the immediate adoption of more energetic remedies —’ ‘Speak English!’ said the Eaglet. ‘I don’t know the meaning of half those long words, and, what’s more, I don’t believe you do either!’ And the Eaglet bent down its head to hide a smile: some of the other birds tittered audibly. ‘What I was going to say,’ said the Dodo in an offended tone, ‘was, that the best thing to get us dry would be a Caucus-race.’ ‘What is a Caucus-race?’ said Alice; not that she wanted much to know, but the Dodo had paused as if it thought that somebody ought to speak, and no one else seemed inclined to say anything. ‘Why,’ said the Dodo, ‘the best way to explain it is to do it.’ (And, as you might like to try the thing yourself, some winter day, I will tell you how the Dodo managed it.) First it marked out a race-course, in a sort of circle, (‘the exact shape doesn’t matter,’ it said,) and then all the party were placed along the course, here and there. There was no ‘One, two, three, and away,’ but they began running when they liked, and left off when they liked, so that it was not easy to know when the race was over. However, when they had been running half an hour or so, and were quite dry again, the Dodo suddenly called out ‘The race is over!’ and they all crowded round it, panting, and asking, ‘But who has won?’ This question the Dodo could not answer without a great deal of thought, and it sat for a long time with one finger pressed upon its forehead (the position in which you usually see Shakespeare, in the pictures of him), while the rest waited in silence. At last the Dodo said, ‘everybody has won, and all must have prizes.’ Red musk, lemon peel, sugar cane, cassia, white sandalwood, mango, and agarwood. I had some pretty high expectations for this one, with the sugar cane, lemon peel, and mango, but the cassia is really overpowering. Wet: cinnamon scented plastic, although I can smell a hint of the lemon Dry: Red Hots candy, and it's making a big itchy, red spot on my arm where I tested it. This one is definitely going into the sell pile, and I'm going into the bathroom to wash my arm off.
