I don't get much gingerbread - but that's ok, the honey is yum! Bright and delicious. I might try layering it with Gingerbread Poppet to bring out the gingerbread more. I like.

I get coconut and rum from this. (And probably something else I can't place.) Which sounds tropical, but it's actually a cool/cold scent. Strangely it smells very much like soap on me for a while, and then the rum takes over and it becomes a bit too masculine for my taste.

I hate to say this, but it smells like a clean public bathroom to me.

Chaos Theory V: Recursive Self-Similarity v2
WinterLeigh replied to dawndie's topic in Limited Editions
CII I am not good at picking out notes, but here is my impression! I smell something cool and serene. It's coming from a light, almost crisp sort of green... I don't know, maybe aloe? Cucumber? Yes, pretty sure it's cucumber. It's very soothing! I think I'm also getting something a little sweeter like prickly pear or melon, but that may just be the honey from O. It's less sweet than O is by itself, though. A spring/summer scent fo' sho'. To summarize: a light, refreshing cucumber melon scent. I quite like this! (On a another note, this is the fullest bottle I've ever seen. The oil level was way high into the neck.) -
I'm in love with Gluhwein. Before trying it, I was worried it would be too boozy, and when wet, it is pretty potent. But once dry it's perfection. A gorgeous spiced honeyed red wine. It's evocative of a sleepy, happy holiday night sitting by the fire while it's snowing outside. Thank you lab goblins for this!

Limited editions equivalents in the general catalog?

I love Xanthe, even though it goes salty on me after a couple hours. It's like tropical-fruit gum. I don't know if I necessarily get strawberry from Floating Brain, just... "pink", heh. Oh yay, I'm expecting an imp of that soon. (Love your icon!) -

Is there anything in the GC that is similar to I Fell in Love With a Floating Brain? Brain smells like pink bubblegum to me. Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo maybe? I like it and I'm trying to decide if I need a "back-up" bottle. -
Invasion of the Flesh-Eating Reindeer from Uranus
WinterLeigh replied to RaeiNarcissus's topic in Retail Exclusive Oils
This is spicy and sexy and wonderful. I don't get much fruitcake, just spicy gingerbread and smooth intoxicating rum. The musk I think serves to strengthen the scent and make it more grown-up. Like an adult version of Gingerbread Poppet. LOVE this! -
Smells just like buttery, golden pancakes! Nom. I don't get much, if any, boysenberry, but I do smell syrup of some kind. It's very sweet, but not so sweet that it gives me a headache. I love it.

I had to review this because it is like *happiness in a bottle*. I put it on and instantly felt happier and blissed out. (Kind of ironic, considering the name!) Damn. So, the pepper comes out a bit when dries, but it's mostly like fruity gum. I don't know what it is, but something in it has me buzzing. (And I was feeling pretty ho-hum before.) I will definitely be needing a bottle! Or more! Edit: It fades in a few hours on me to something kind of salty. I'll either need to keep reapplying or try it in a scent locket.

I want a BPAL that smells like Bath & Body Works...

Antique Lace seems similar to me, although there's something in it that's a bit cooler and cleaner than Warm Vanilla Sugar. Edit: I just tried Love's Philosophy (an LE), and it's more similar. Vanilla, saffron, and cream. Very warm and simple.
