Danke for the link, advice, and merge, ivyandpeony! I think Bearded Lady is going to be too floral for a first order (my family has even more allergies than me.. I don't want to turn them all off by immediately making them sneeze), and Snake Charmer has something in it that is apparently derived from bitter almond oil, according to wikipedia. So I think Berenice is the most likely candidate, but.. *looks at date* Obviously I'm running a little late.

Hamadryad has cinnamon? Eek. I guess I'll reconsider that one - I've got skin allergies and don't like cinnamon. ...and good to know about Dragon's Heart! Thank you! I guess I'll have to watch maraschino cherries more closely. That's actually rather scary!

I've heard that the lab is great about emailing people back, which is fantastic. I've read a few of the reviews (first page-ish) for all the scents that sound interesting to me, which is how I eliminated Dana O'Shee (unless that almond note everyone smells is somehow coming from something else). I suppose I should scour them more carefully and not get distracted wondering what pomegranate and rose smell like together. I didn't realize almond sometimes smelled like cherry - eek! I'll definetely make a note of that, thanks! Edit: Even my typing is garbled today. XP

Hope I'm not duplicating another thread - I searched and didn't find anything... I've got severe allergies to peanuts and mild allergies to tree nuts. I know that some of the BPAL oils have almonds listed in the description, but I've also read reviews of others (like Dana O'Shee) that apparently smell like almonds but don't have almonds listed in the description. I've emailed the lab inquiring about nut oils in the scents I'm interested in, but my list was (not surprisingly!) rather long, and I'm afraid I won't hear back before the Carnaval Noir scents go out again. So, my question is, what blends have you smelled nuts (most likely almonds) in that didn't have them listed in the site description, and is there anyone else out there with nut allergies that can recommend some "safe" fragrances (particularly from the Carnaval Noir line)? Limited edition scents are okay by me. I'll list the blends I'm considering at the bottom... I'll take other recomendations, since I'm here and don't want to create another thread. _______________________________________________________________ Notes I like: Vanilla, amber, tea, books(!), citrus, stargazer lily, roses (the sweet kind, not the sharp, floristy smelling ones), coffee, mint Notes I don't like: Cinnamon, strong incense, patchouli, booze, tobacco/smoke, apple, really sharp scents For my first order, I'm considering: 5mL Snake Charmer/Bearded Lady/Berenice (one or two of the three) Imp Pack (one only, but I'm listing more than 6 scents as I haven't decided) Antique Lace Dorian Obatala Hamadryad (cinnamon) Sundew Persephone Regan Tiger Lily Black Opal Sudha Segara Sea of Glass Black Dahlia Moon Rose Dragon's Milk Dragon's Heart (strong?) Pele I should note that I'd like my first imps to be relatively light scents, as I still have to convince my family that perfume is not a bad thing. ETA notes to self about oils.

Although I'll probably place my order with PayPal, I'd like to get the total and shipping costs first with CCNow. Unfortunately, it will not let me add anything to my cart. I have my browser set to accept cookies and even tried using Internet Explorer instead of Firefox, but to no avail. Any suggestions?
