Frills

I like green tea scents, so I always wear Shanghai when I work out. When I'm out of that I'll sometimes wear Holiday Moon, or Tweedledee.

Hmm. This reminds me of when I grew different herbs and plants in my room (I'm thinking the chamomile reminds me most?) Once it dries, I smell more rose and chamomile than anything. It's really pretty and soft. I was surprised that I liked it. I'm thinking this is what I'll wear once the sun starts coming out more.

You guys are wonderful! Thank you all for the suggestions and condolences. It really does mean a lot. I hadn't thought about scent association before, and that's a really good point. It would have been really awful if my favorite scents came to remind me of losing him But I have a lot of new ones to try now, it looks like!

Thank you, hepkitten. And thank you for the suggestions! I like aquatics and tea scents quite a bit.

I was kind of wary of the chocolate, because no chocolate scents work for me, but I'm a huge fan of Snake Oil so I couldn't resist. Plus, the other reviews sort of swayed me. It stays smooth and chocolatey and spicy all at once. It's a favorite!

A friend of mine passed away, and I'm really wanting something comforting and mind-clearing to wear to work and around the house, and later at the funeral. Any suggestions?

I don't get Dorian during this, which is lucky, because I can't wear Dorian at all. (It just ends up smelling like cologne, alas.) Instead, this one smells like green tea and homemade ice cream almost. Tasty! ADDED Feb. 23: Mint, mint, vanilla-mint, and then a half hour later, green tea ice cream. I approve!

I think this one was where I learned what a difference skin chemistry makes! On me, it's really really sweet and spicy. On my mother, it's softer and almost creamier. (Smells better on her, IMO). On my friend, it's completely amber (well I think so anyway; it's similar to an amber lotion she has.) So there you have it! If it doesn't work on you, try it on a friend. If it works on them, tote them around so you can still smell it

Hm...weirdly enough, it scared me a little when I first put it on. Just something in it brought back some childhood fear or other But now that that's gone, it smells...warm? And there's something sort of cold? Mostly cause of the name, I picture being in an old tomb, opening a box of almonds (I think there might be almonds in it?) and there just being a little bit of fresh air coming down from a very distant crack overhead. I like! Not sure when I'll wear it but I'm keeping it because I'm sure I will.

My brother quit smoking finally ( ) but...I miss the scent of his cigarettes sometimes Bad, I know. So I thought maybe the tasty perfumes here would help. Any ideas?
