In the bottle: I loved it in the bottle. Heady, spicy, adventurous. However:

 

On Me: For some reason, after about an hour or so, it turned into a sort of fabric softener smell- like Bounce dryer sheets. This was sort of weird, because I like the "fresh out of the dryer" smell, but its not what I was expecting with a scent based of a notorious female pirate.

mix that with coconut (i hate coconut) and some baby powder.... and that's what my wierd chemistry turned this delicious concoction into.

i'll probably keep this to use as a room or candle scent...but not for my skin.

...in the early 80's there was a fragrance released by Paloma Picasso (wierdly enough, she called it [wait for it....] Paloma Picasso)

which i still love, but haven't ever really been able to wear because it is so strong and overpowering (but what 80's fragrances weren't?)

and Rose Cross....smells the way Paloma should have, at least to me.

there's rose. deep, true rose -- not the damageproof ones you buy at the grocer's, but the real, heirloom roses from fifty or a hundred years ago. and longer, of course.

but there's a stable, grounding, earthy note. incense and.....

i'd say dirt, but that has unpleasant connotations for some.

loamy, rich. middle of an old forest after a hard rain.

healthy, fertile

yes, i can see how this is a sacred blend....

my poor little 10mL isn't going to last long, i'm afraid....

hmmmm....

first off, thanks to all those who have put in so much work to compile these spreadsheets! i'm waiting to see if i can download (da intarveb is being funny for me today) the most recent one... i'm thinking it might be a neat thing to put in the front of my BPAL binder[1]

[1]which is really just a printout of the webpage, with divider tabs for each section (including the limited's that've come out since i've begun my addiction) and notes i've made beside the descriptions for oils i've been lucky enough to try so far.
