You're making me miss my grandparents home. They live in a small town (Palmer, MA) just outside of Springfield (less of a small town). When I think of summer there, I think of Mag Mell. The wonderful smell of fresh cut grass and summer rain. I love how it smells there after the rain.

MMMM....this smells so good. After getting back from visiting home (Pawleys Island), I opened this and was in heaven. It smells like the beach sans the cocoa butter.

I smell this and sigh. The vanilla is so soft and sweet. Sandalwood blends with it, but not overpowering it.

Just Beautiful!

Opening the bottle, I was unsure of how this would smell on me. Buttercream frosting was the first thing that came to mind. After I put it on though, the buttercream scent quickly faded and left a strong minty vanilla smell. It lasted for hours never changing.

White Chocolate was all I could smell when I opened the bottle.

On: White Chocolate, which stayed, but dried out some.

Drying: The mandarine came through.

Dried: Madarine and white chocolate. Great combination on my skin.

I've never been so thrilled with a scent that smelled like my kids cough syrup before.

When I put it on, it just sang. I could smell the booze immediately, then the musks and sugar sweet scent pulled through. Nothing faded. It all just mingled there and had a fab party on my skin.

With dh home on R&R, Smut's arrival was perfect. Another bottle is in the future.

I am so bummed. I loved the description and have been dying to try it. I now have three imps.

In the imp: smelled like soap

First on me: still soap

Drying: It took about 15 min to dry down and I could smell a touch of lavendar and whisteria.

Dry: No smell at all on my skin. It stuck to my clothes for about 2-3 hrs.

It's a bedtime scent for me. I'm gonna add it to a spritzer and put it on my sheets. The lavendar will be nice at night.

Was it an APO/FPO? I honestly have no idea how long those take. A(F)PO's are treated like internationals by the USPS, they have to be walked in and a customs form filled out. If you got a CnS, then it should be going out as domestic. You could send email answers and get your tracking info, since you lost yours to the virus.

B.

APO is an Army Post Office. Sara replied w/ my date, but said it could take up to 4weeks. It goes domestic, but through customs. I've been ordering online alot and if it's a company that ships here often, I can get a package in 3-4 days. It all depends on the contents and how customs feels that day. B/C it's going over international waters it has to have a customs form. Any packages can be mailed USPS Priority and it gets here fairly quick. Just a hassle to deal w/. I'm gonna gage the delivery time and I may have my future orders sent to SoapyRN. She'll get it and then forward it, which takes about 3-4 days from her. Just gotta wait and see.

Thanks ya'll! I don't think it was shipped Global Priority. I'm in a US zipcode. It's really confusing. Because I'm on a military base in Germany, we have the USPS here. Our zipcode is technically a NY zipcode b/c that is where our mail is routed.

I got a CNS about a week ago, but I can't be sure. I had an e-mail virus and had to clean out my files. That unfortunately had to be in the bunch, b/c I cannot find it any where.

I am patiently waiting. Though, I will be thrilled when they get here.

I couldn't find any where else to post this. I'm not complaining at all, just wondering about shipping times for Europe orders. It's technically staying within USPS service, but still going through the customs and whatnot.

Can anyone give me an estimate?

Snow Bunny is a perfect name for this. Imagine swooshing down the slopes with tall green pines on either side of you and one whacking you in the face. That's exactly what it smells like. The pine is definitely the first scent and it's strong. I was a little worried about it, but five or ten minutes later and citrus scent comes through as the pine fades to the back. When it's dry there's a touch of white musk, citrus and a little pine in the back.

I couldn't wait to get this scent! Hair net is the first thing I thought of. The stiff hairspray of the 70's/80's. I definitely smelled the ylang ylang and hyacinth at first. As it started to dry, the white sandalwood became very pronounced on me. In the end, I am left with a white musk and fruity blend. Very nice...It just didn't last long enough. I reapplied it twice to get through the day.

I opened to bottle and all I could smell are fresh red roses. The rose is so clean. Nothing gets in the way of the scent.

WOW!!

This reminds me of mixing fresh fallen snow, milk and a touch of vanilla to make a snow cream...Yummy and smells great!

I am head over heels in love. When I opened the bottle, it was like coming home.

I love peppermint...I love LICK IT!!! The peppermint stays, but blends perfectly with the vanilla and sweet sugar notes...

The hazelnut stuck with me on this one. Mixed with the cocoa, I got hungry for Nutella. As the "Nutella" scent faded a sweet pumpkin came through. This was the most delicious scent of the bunch!

I love sandalwood, but the orris just didn't work with my skin. Though, it will not waste. I put it in my oil burner and was so happy.

I was waiting for this one inparticular. Down from my parent's house is a pumpkin patch that a farmer grows at the base of the woods. I was so hoping that it would smell like it does there. When I opened the bottle, I was pleased. The only thing missing was the wetness of early morning dew.

My next thought was to layer it with Tempest to get that wet scent. Still haven't tried that.

When I wore this, I thought of bobbing for apples at a Halloween Party. The freshness of the apple with the a Jack O'Lantern in the back. Autumn at it best!

I like this one the best out of them all. It is not a sticky candy sweet, but a light fruit scent that calms down the pumpkin. Odd pairing I thought, but it comes together sweetly.

On first sniff I thought of clemintines. I just bought a bunch and this smells just like them with a touch of spice. I'm making out clove, but not sure if that's it.

Very fruity, but not sticky sweet fruit. More like fresh off the tree fruit. Yummy

Smelling this made me think of water lilies floating on a beautiful pond. Sea of Glass was a semi-soft aquatic scent. It didn't last very long on me, but it made me feel cooler the instant I put it on. This is saved for very hot summer days.

Embalming Fluid makes me want to throw a tea party! The green tea and lemon smell so good. When the white musk just settles in, I just kept breathing in the freshness of my skin.

The orange blossom was what I smelled first and it made me very unsure of the scent. When I put it on, I was so relieved. The orange blossom quickly died down and the jasmine and lavendar became the dominating scents. The Mediterranean herbs had to be what was lingering in the back.

Can a review be any better than Macha's on this one?

Her review is what made me choose Hanging Garden. I love it. The plum and pear are the scents that linger on me and it's just wonderful. It stayed on me for about 9 hrs and then my jacket for a week.
