    something NOT sexy

    I say wear whatever you like, and when they say, "What's that intoxicating scent you're wearing?", tell them, "It's anti-fungal cream."

    What Scent Is This?

    Song of Selune? It's a TAL.

    Chaos Theory V: Recursive Self Similarity v4

    I can't make out the Roman Numerals on this one. Pretty straight-forward Snake Oil and Pine, I think. I like Snake Oil with some age on it, so I'll probably hold on to it until the Fall and see if it becomes the lovely cold weather scent I believe it's going to be.

    Chaos Theory V: Recursive Self-Similarity v2

    CLXXIII It's very creamy in the bottle. On my skin, it's LEMON . Oh dear, lemon does not like me. As it dries, the lemon doesn't turn to pledge as it usually does on me, but it overpowers the initial creaminess. There's maybe a touch of something floral in here? I can barely detect the O underneath it. This could be very pretty, I think, but not on my skin. I believe this one is a swap.

    Dandelion and Clover.

    It smells like the leaf to me.

    Dandelion and Clover.

    I love Roadhouse. Mind you some people say the beer and tobacco are too much, but I find it divine.

    When you need something comforting or cheering

    Oh, this makes me want to try Snow Moon. I was born and raised in the NC mountains. *is now homesick*

    Rose Red

    My best girlfriend(the one I enabled*evil laugh*) pulled out her decant of this over the weekend and let me try it. Sadly, my skin turned it into bug spray. I'm serious. It was bug spray for about ten minutes and then it disappeared completely. On her, however, it's the freshest, prettiest rose you can imagine. Really lovely. She says it fades on her too(not as quickly), but she catches whiffs of it hours later unexpectedly. I just don't think my chemistry will ever play nicely with rose.

    Nosferatu

    I really kind of love this. The dirt note is very pronounced on me, and the wine adds a bit of sweetness without being sugary. I'd like it to last a little longer and have a bit more throw, but I don't mind re-applying. I'll have to have a bottle sooner or later.

    Heavenly Love & Earthly Love

    In the bottle this is smooth, pure incense. Five minutes after I put it on, however, my skin turns it into baby powder. I'm heartbroken since it's so gorgeous in the bottle. I'll let it age a bit then try it again. There's just too much promise there to give up on it.

    Saw-Scaled Viper

    In the imp and wet on my wrist, it's all cinnamon. And I mean cinnamon. Uber cinnamon. After about five minutes, however, the snake oil starts to slither through, and it becomes a smooth mix of snake oil, cinnamon, and ginger that wafts through the air every time I move my arm. It has a good throw and excellent staying power-Snake Oil and all the snakes I've tried so far are like this on me which makes me happy. I put it on in the morning, and it lasts all day. Definitely a future bottle purchase.

    CCNow Questions & Problems

    I just got a Visa gift card from my job. Has anyone ever used one of these to order through CCNow? I'd really like to use it to feed my addiction.

    The Perilous Parlor

    I wasn't sure about this one since I tend to like incense, resins, and stronger notes, but it's just so soft and pretty. I didn't get a lot sniffing from the bottle at all. (It rather alarmed me. I thought maybe the bottle was mislabeled. Where was all this wonderful pear I'd heard about?) Wet on my skin, the scent comes out-very soft, fresh pear and vanilla. On me it dries down to a light, sweet musk that lingers for hours-serious staying power on this one. Not a lot of throw, but a delight every time I raise my wrist to my nose. It's not my usual fare, but I'll be keeping it for those days when I want something warm and light.

    Pumpkin Smash

    In the bottle it's all boozy pumpkin. On, the beeswax comes out, smoothing and mellowing the sweetness. Once it's dried down, I get just an occasional whiff of smoky asphalt. I think it may be my favorite of the pumpkin scents I've tried-it's definitely pumpkin, but it's not foody or overly sweet. Love it!

    Pumpkin II (2007)

    I was really looking foward to this one after discovering how much I enjoyed the tobacco/caramel mix in Tiresias. I thought the pumpkin and tobacco would have to be fabulous as well. It's sweet and light when I put it on. I'm not really getting the tobacco, but I wait for it to develop. Ten minutes later it's gone! My skin just devoured it. It was pretty while it lasted, and it might have developed into something really nice if my chemistry could have sustained it.
