doomsday_disco Report post Posted February 22, 2014 Strengthens emotional bonds and cultivates blossoming love: bourbon vanilla with ylang ylang, Roman chamomile, and white honey. In the bottle: This is my favorite of the Luper blends that I ordered. Hopefully it will remain that way once it hits my skin! The bourbon vanilla note is the most prominent (huzzah!), followed by the white honey. The florals are present, but they are in the background. I love sugary florals, so unless my skin chemistry ends up hating the ylang ylang, this should be made of win.I just applied this to half of my arm. It doesn't take long to sink in, and I can detect all of the notes in this blend. The florals are more prominent than they were in the bottle, but the bourbon vanilla note quickly claims its place on the center stage. Oh, this is lovely. The honey note doesn't seem to be one of the main players in this blend, because I just tested Fallen Woman hair gloss (which also has a white honey note), and it isn't very prominent on my skin. Maybe it adds to the general sweetness of this blend.It's mostly just bourbon vanilla awesomeness now. The other notes have been confined to small background roles. I am in love. Needless to say, I adore this! I will be needing back-ups of this one!*edit* After a little over an hour has passed, the chamomile and ylang ylang emerge, but they stay close to the skin.

Unfortunately the vanilla note is the type that tends to go plasticky on me. Usage: I tried this as moisturizer as opposed to massage oil, and its fabulous for that purpose. Very moisturizing, and absorbs relatively quickly. If the scent worked out, I would have used this as moisturizer instead of massage oil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJ Sin Report post Posted March 29, 2014 LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Did I mention that I LOVE this? Vanilla takes center with a supporting act by the honey. This is a winner! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milo Report post Posted April 12, 2014 Slightly floral vanilla, it reminds me a bit of rice flower and vanilla, quite similar to Castitas, but I thought that one was much too sweet. I really like the scent of this, though it is quite soft. I find the massage oils much more suited to after shower use than the bath oils, it makes my skin very soft without an oily feeling, though the bath oil is *almost* as good. Hmmmm, I may splurge for a bottle, but gotta think on it a bit, as this is kiiind of foody, though it is pretty darn nice on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
