    Allergy Questions, Allergies and other reactions to oils

    I'm a fire sign and though I can't seem to see any correlation with scents, I didn't like Ophelia, because it was too watery!

    Ophelia

    I really want to like this one and I will probably try it again, but it just was too watery for me. The flowers were nice, but the green ivy smells and the water were just overpowering! Perhaps I'll give it another try.

    Black Forest

    I think the pine in this is a little too overpowering. So far, I'm not that fond of it. But we'll see. Others said that they can smell creatures with them in the forest and I think I can smell fur and it just creeps me out, to be honest. I should have known, I hate forests!

    CCNow or PayPal

    Ok, so if I wanted to order through paypal, would I just send the money and put in comments my order? And our there any benefits to me as a customer using either payapl or CCNow?

    Snake Oil

    When I got my first order and was smelling all of the bottles, I accidentally got a little snake oil on my finger and even though I was only trying out Persephone on my skin, I decided to try Snake Oil on the other wrist. Can I just say that I love this already? I can smell the vanilla, but it's not too sweet. There's something underlying that prevents this. I'm already making my next order up and I think I will need a bigger bottle of this!

    Persephone

    Just smelling this from the bottle, it's already very juicy. I don't know what pomegranates smell like, so I'm guessing that's the juicy smell. It's very sweet but not sickly sweet like candy, a juicy sweet. I can barely smell the rose underneath. I think this might be one of my favorites! (so far)

    Cathedral

    I was worried that I wouldn't like this, because some people described it as resinous, I think, but I'm really find that I like that! I can't really describe it beyond that, but it's nice and subtle, which is good for me. Like someone said before, it kind of does smell like earth mixed with old walls, like being underground in a catacomb!

    I guess have a knack for making interesting titles. Now I feel so embarassed.

    Allergy Questions, Allergies and other reactions to oils

    Oops! I didn't mean for it to sound naughty! I was asking because I've avoided perfumes for so long, because a lot of them give me sinus headaches and my allergies hate them. I've only tried two scents so far and I do have a slight headache, but I don't know if it's because of other reasons than the scents. Though I will try to remember which, if any, scents give me headaches and see if I can isolate the problem!

    Voodoo

    First whiff from vial: For some reason, I'm picking up an orangey smell and I can smell the patchouli also. I'm also getting some of those resinous smells people are talking about. Still smelling straight from vial, I'm kind of getting a scent of hardwood floors in an old store with incense. It reminds me of the Voodoo section in Schwab's on Beale Street, not quite New Orleans, but very close. On the skin: This really really smells like hardwood floors to me so far. I can just imagine being in an ancient store. There's an old ancient smell that I'm picking up on. I'm not sure what it is. Now that it's tried down a little, I can really smell the vanilla! I can't make any sweeping judgements yet, since this is only my first one.

    Endymion

    First whiff from vial: I can't pick out any particular notes, just a general floral perfume that is very subtle. Usually, floral perfumes, actually, almost any perfumes give me headaches, but I associate florals with perfumes, so.. Ohmygosh! Once I put this on, I could totally smell the pear! It's dried to a nice, light floral, but I'm not sure if my slight headache is from this or Voodoo, or just smelling too much!

    Seraglio

    First sniff from vial: Very strong roasted almond including the skin coming out, like there is one in front of me. I will add more when I try it on my skin. This might take a while, since I've heard they can smell different if you're on your period. ):
  14. I think that sex in a bottle might be a little too intense for me now! I'm just trying to attract some men. ):
  15. Oh, I'm glad I got a sample of Snake Oil!
  16. I got that from cegirls, I think that's the right username! I know some of the BPAL scents are obviously supposed to be very sexy, but from everyone's personal experience, what scents seem to attract the opposite or same sex, depending on the person?

    Getting sick of orders showing up as delivered...

    Yeah, we really don't have a post office. I mean, very small ones scattered about, so I think the whole thing that someone at my dorm signs for all the packages makes sense. I never thought of any of this.

    Getting sick of orders showing up as delivered...

    I just wanted to clarify, if you need a signature to get your package, if you don't sign for it, does it get sent to the nearest post office? I'm just wondering, because I live in a dorm and I get in a slip in my mail box when I get a package and I have to sign for it before they give it to me, but it's not a USPS thing. I don't know.

    Shipping Update..

    So, when are the rest of the orders from March 5th going to be sent? I still haven't gotten any confirmation if mine was sent or not. ):

    Are custom scents available?

    The custom scents and process sound wonderful! I will have to convince my Mom that I would love that for my 21st.
