Schmoozy

This is perhaps the most beautiful blend ever. Rich, thick golden honey and amber combine with peach and vanilla. Cardamom and carnation add a spicy floral element that elevates the amber and honey to unbelievably golden proportions. It's the perfect scent for the hot days of late summer, and whenever I use L'Estate bath oil I feel ridiculously sexy.

At first it's all vetiver with coconut and apricot lingering in the background. Once it has had a chance to fully drydown, the vetiver really powers down and seems to just a touch of smoke and earth. I am slightly surprised that I quite enjoy it, considering I am not really a vetiver fan. Lemon sugar and red currants add sweetness and a hint of tartness.

Predominantly sweet pea with lemon blossom and acai berry. The vanilla bean is faint, but it's creamy. The rose sugar and candyfloss, combined with vanilla bean give Rosy Maple an overwhelming sweetness, that almost makes my teeth ache. It's fruity, slightly citruss-y, refreshing and sweet.

Stunning. Refreshing tea, pear and sugared limes with musk and thyme. There are hints of carnation at times, and it kinda lends a spicy kick, but it's quite faint. Mainly this is sugared limes and pear. A perfect scent for the ridiculously hot weather we've been having.

Spicy clove and warm, dry sandalwood are sweetened ever so slightly with carnation and vanilla. Hinoki wood and massoia bark add more dimension to the heavy woods feel, and the aged patchouli rounds it all out with earthiness and warmth. It sticks close to the skin, lasts a good while and manages to wrap me in comfort. I too wish I had another bottle, but I think a bottle and decant will last. I feel the need to break out Mole. It feels very similar.

Pineapple coconut with soft hints of tropical florals. It's refreshing, slightly cool, and is very summery. Applied it late last night and I can still smell it this afternoon. Stunning!

Cold, minty cherries with a touch of pie crust.

Instant love. Sweetened mint tea with honey, followed by blasts of spicy orange blossom and lemongrass. It's cooling, refreshing, sweet yet spicy and really minty.

Honeyed citrus, spicy orange blossom mingles with dry, dusty sandalwood. Roses are an afterthought in Jezebel (to my nose anyway), and although they are in the background, their scent is ever so slightly present. I love how the orange blossom and sandalwood blend together seamlessly, and honey adds a sweetness to the spice and woods.

Thick golden honey and oleander. It's slighty sweet, green and very floral.

Ugh. I don't know what I was thinking. This is all jasmine all the time with a little whiff of honey every know and again. Must wash off now.

Sharp tangy, almost citruss-y green honey. It's fresh, tart, and not very sweet. It also feels very kinda aquatic.

Golden medicinal honey, with a touch of hemlock. It's green, sweet, and very herbal.

Besides TKO, the best massage oil Mr. Schmoozy & I have ever used. We are outdoor adventure freaks and sore, aching muscles are the norm. We have tried many oils and bars claiming to soothe aches & pains and the only one that can compare is Wiccy Magic Muscles from LUSH. UGH has beaten it hands down. Eucalyptus and rosemary are the dominant scents. Together they work instantly to attack the aches/pains & sore muscles. It's refreshing, invigorating and extremely relaxing. Once it has sinked the orange slowly creeps in and the heat from the skin produces this incrediably soothing/peaceful scent. Thank gods for UGH, and bye bye Rub-A535, Tiger Balm and all that other shit Mr. Schmoozy had lying around. I can now throw out the gas masks.

Love! Relaxing roman chamomile sweetened with sugar and a good measure of dry, dusty orris root to temper the sweetness and add depth. It's kinda woodsy, slighty lemony, refreshing and soothing all at once. I need multiples of this. I think I've discovered my new sleep blend.

Buttery pumpkin, spiced heavily with ginger and sweetened with mango and sugar cane. Golden amber appears on drydown, and it is warm, sweet and actually begins to overtake the pumpkin. I really wish the sugar cane note was not as prevalent as it is, because for some reason it's coming across as brown sugar when mixed with the pumpkin. Definitely a scent for colder temperatures.

Smoky, burnt root beer and clove cigarettes. Not a wild plum to be found, I adore sassafras, but can't stand the smell of brown sugar. Am on the fence with this one. It has great possibilities but I think ultimately the brown suagr note is too dominant.

Cardamom and Egyptian musk. I freaking love Egyptian musk it's soft, sensual and feels like velvet. The cardamom is dry, woodsy and spicy. Did I say dusty. Cause this blend is a whole lot of dust. After drydown white sugar appears and the dusty, spiciness is suddenly sugared, and the Egyptian musk is still going strong. Vanilla and tonka are really afterthoughts here. I can barely smell them and that's just fine with me, because all I really wanted was a spicy Egyptian musk and I got it and then some. LOVE!

Coconut, white sugar, angelica, and black pepper. Slightly tropical coconut, but instead of milky, lush coconut it's dry and and rather dusty. White sugar sweetens it and black pepper adds spice and depth. The angelica gives Paper Kite a slight freshness and herbal element. For me it's hard to pin point the exact smell, but it's medicinal and chalky. It's a soft scent, long lasting and has great throw. After it has had a chance to drydown, the coconut really mellows out, and sugar and pepper shine through a bit more. I really love this.

Strawberry spice cake. It's creamy, soft, moist and warm. Almost as if it came right out of the oven. Carnation adds spice and a hint of floral, and there is no grapefruit to be found. This is so comforting. It's the love child of Strawberry Moon and Eat Me. Delicious.

Hello opium and amber. As other reviewers have stated, a little goes a LONG way. With that being said, this is rich, incensy, resin-y amber heaven. It's thick and smoky, plummy and full of musk. I can't stop huffing myself. The throw is excellent, lasts forever and is simply gorgeous. IMHO Beth doesn't use enough nepalese amber, so I am thrilled that I was able to procure a bottle of romanti-goth. I only wish it was fall so I could wer this more often. It's a little too heavy for this time of year.

Light honey, slightly sweaty skin and just a touch of leather. It's soft, sticks close to the skin, and reminds me of Liz in so many awesome ways. This is unbelievably sexy. Must buy bottle right away.

Medicinal, creamy rootbeer. It has a little fizziness to it, just like Stimulating Sassafras Strengthener. Anti-Saloon, however is less sweet, and more herbal.

Bubbly, pink and cheerful. Right off the bat you can smell the wild strawberry, peach and pink musk. Woods and raspberry leaf help to temper the sweetness. Great throw right off the start, maybe a bit too sweet at first, but once it dries down and has a chance to morph, the sweetness fades and I'am left with strawberry/peach musk.

Cardamom spiced amber with thick golden honey. Traces of grass and wheat linger in the background. It's dry, rich and very warm.
