I am one of the wintergreen Love's Philosophy-ers! However, I keep trying it (I reallly want to love this one dangit ) and I've noted that through the incredibly long-lasting wear time of this one, I actually get over the wintergreen hump after several hours. (Although, in defense of the wintergreen, at least it's not like one of those car air-fresheners, but decent-smelling! ) Last night, it took nearly EIGHT hours to calm down! That was insane! But today, it was only about an hour and a half to two hours before it hit a rather interesting dry stage. I get a hint of vanilla, but only if I get very close, and definitely a lot of warm saffron. It's very interesting and not exactly what I expected, but it is quite nice! I would die for the buttercream/vanilla icing scent that some of you are getting, but I'll take what I can get here!

This is so good. There's definitely just some golden and comforting air to it that wows me. <3 Who knew teak would be such a winner? It's entirely creamy and smooth and then the teak pokes out at me, but not in a pointy or offensive way, but just blending and emerging from the cream. And normally creamy blends seem more "cold weather" type for me but this one just screams all-year-round perfection to me. Mmm. I am definitely going to get a bottle or possibly two of this and I'm not much of a hoarder! Unfortunately, I said to my Evil Temptress Enabler (who hasn't gotten to sniff hers yet!):

I was definitely of the group that thought they weren't going to be hugely fond of this one and was quite happily surprised! Sometimes honey can get a bit yucky on me (cloyingly sweet), but the musk and amber are working back there and toning it down. There's that bit of spiciness in it that I was afraid would overpower the rest but instead it's very delicious and definitely a nose-to-wrist kind of scent, so no worries even if it was overpowering; it wouldn't get to waft and give me a headache! Very delicious all around.

I keep my TKO massage oil next to my bed, within arms' reach. Just in case there's a fire and I have to take my 1 precious item with me - that's right, the TKO. Everything that is great about TKO regular oil is the same here and what I think is amazing is how good it feels putting it on; normally, I hate having moisturizers and oils on my hands and have to wipe my hands off right after. This one, I wish I could rub it into my nose! Okay, maybe not that extreme, because that might be weirdly squishy, but wow, I love how these massage oils feel. What I really love about the massage oil is that even more so than my oil, it gets all over my bedsheets and I get to wake up calm and relaxed because even if the scent has faded on my person (I absorb like crazy), it's still lingering in my comforter! Delicious! <3

This is not a very developed review, as I don't get to use this one all that often! (TKO massage oil has taken over my soul and/or life.) But the scent of this oil is so beautiful and warm; the minute I opened and sniffed my decant of it, I was overjoyed. Which was rather amusing, since I'm very much an Earthy type person and Terrae might hold second place to this one. It reminds me of the smell of violin rosin! <3 I've played since I was very young and nothing relaxes me more than playing music, so this is really fabulous. Every time I sniff it or just rub a little bit on myself, it gives me a huge boost. Extremely well done, I think!
