Okay - here goes nothing. CDVII (407): My nose is usually pretty good with notes, but these 2 CT have got me at a loss. I definitely smell cinnamon and also some buttered rum (reminds me of a soft gluttony when wet with cinnamon). Dry down, cinnamon is still very prominent, but the foodiness has subsided. Very spicy scent. Really a gorgeous cinnamon/slightly foody scent, but not for me. (fun to get in the mail and review though ) This one is off to swap. CCCXCIX (399): Cinnamon, berry (plum maybe) with a hint of "?"... shit it's going to drive me nuts - I can't figure out what else I am smelling, but damn it smells good. It reminds me in a very slight way when wet, of Samhain, but only for an instant. Then in morphs into its own beautiful creation. This one is not as spicy but very beautiful in it's own way. If I can only figure out what the other prominent note that I am smelling is!! Way to go BETH!!!!!! edited: if I could only spell...

Okay here goes nothing - this is my first review so nobody laugh or make fun.... Here is what Beth wrote in the description: At the center of the Garden of Eden stands the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Though modern interpretations of the Bible claim that it was an apple that the Serpent of the Tree offered to Eve, it is widely believed that the true Fruit of True Knowledge was, in fact, a fig. This oil contains the innocence of the Garden, coupled with the Truth and Erudition found in the fruit of the Tree of Evil: fig leaf, fig fruit, honeyed almond milk, toasted coconut and sandalwood. In the bottle: coconut, fig and almond fighting for your attention at first whiff. When you first put it on it is very green and fresh and initially sweet, you can really smell the coconut and almonds, and on me, a slight hint of sweet honey. It is really a clean and pretty scent. Dry down: (my favorite part) the sweetness dies down a bit and becomes more fresh on me and really becomes to be a real clean scent on. The greeness that you first smell in the initial stages seems to dry down and scamper away and it leaves a lovely scent in its wake. So everytime you move you get a nice clean smell hinted with coconut and your like what is that great smell, and wait - it's you!! If you don't like coconut, this one is not for you. On a scale of 1-5 (5 being GOTTA have it LARGE bottle) I give it a 3.5 Although I must say, with it being a 3.5, it could be one that grows on you, because I have had several compliments today with wearing it!! So for the people who asked me to review I hope I helped you. (I told you I was no good at words!!) Edited to add full description --Shollin

Allergy Questions, Allergies and other reactions to oils
queenb replied to friendthegirl's topic in BPAL FAQs
Well I'm hoping it's cherries, but others are saying it could be cinnamon. So no one really knows.... I ordered anyway. You can always sell/swap it. -
Thanks for the suggestion! I think I will definitely have to do that. Especially reading on how long just one little imp lasts. And (umm) not to mention I just bought 6 imps from a lovely forumite this morning to feed my newest addiction.... So I am sure that I will be selling little imps soon. I already bought little vials - so they will be coming soon (I'm sure my husband is going to be thinking that I am going crazy with internet shopping again....ummmmm) I think only 2 1/2 more weeks until my bottles arrive.....whoohooo!!

Okay, now after reading all of this, I feel like a HUGE idiot. I guess I should have read this BEFORE I ordered.... I was so excited and in a rush to order, that I thought I was saving money by ordering the bigger 10ml bottle so I ordered a couple, ummm, like 4 10ml bottles and 6 imps, (well I was really excited to order I guess) and now reading this I guess I will be wearing and re-applying and giving some away for like - ever. Urghhhhhh..... If only I had read everything before I had purchased. I don't want to cancel my order because I am halfway there of my waiting period of receiving it. I am so excited to get them that I can't wait another month if I cancel and reorder.....what to do, what to do....
