Yowza! It's like Hawaiian Punch! I love that stuff, but I wasn't sure I would like smelling like it. Oh, I was so wrong! The sweet melody of fruits play across the skin, and as time goes on, different fruit notes come out to dance. The pear is one of the first notes I picked up on. In some ways, it also smells like Juicy Fruit gum. I definately like this.

This is currently my all time favorite scent. Maybe it is because I grew up in California, but I can smell the green meadow smell coupled with wildflowers. While it smells floral like in the imp, on the skin it is rather mellow, and I can see where the gossamer that everyone is talking about comes from. Perhaps it is me, but I sense carnation in the blend, which gives it that floral/spicy edge.

Wow. In the imp, my nose was tickled with the lovely notes of coconut, peppermint, buttery rum, and vanilla. It was like the Winter holidays rolled up into one! I was afraid that the coconut would make it smell too much like I was applying suntanning lotion, but this scent played lovely with my skin. The peppermint wasn't overpowering, and the rum and vanilla enhanced overtime. My cat really likes this scent as well!

I am finding that more and more I am in love with Beth's "foody" scents. I bought an imp of Sugar Skull, and when I first opened the lid I was in love. Brown sugar goodness. This oil lasts on the skin for a long time, so I suggest going easy on dabbing it on. I'm not catching a real hint of fruits, just the sugars. I had to buy a bottle to sate my hunger!

I found that Verdandi smells like lush red apples in the imp. It brought back memories of Fall, picking apples to be canned. The herbs gave this oil a lovely "crisp" smell. On my skin, Verdandi could easily be the younger sister of Harvest Moon '05 with it's spicy apple notes. It's a really invigorating scent that is just ripe (no pun intended) for this season.

...a singularly chilly, delectably ice-rimmed perfume. Revel in the gelid polar frostiness that is Numb, and forget about the heat for a moment. After seeing everyone sell this scent off left and right, curiosity overtook me and I bought a bottle. In the bottle, my first thought was "this smells like a grandmother at church". Not unpleasant, but I wasn't really wanting to smell like a grandmother. I dabbed some on the top of my hand and let it dry. I can pick out violet, but I have no idea what else is in it ("something sharp" according to the boyfriend). It still reminds me of a grandmother (not really my grandmother, but a grandmother), and is powdery rather than "cold".
