    What do bottles and labels look like?

    Interestingly enough there is a discussion about this topic on LJ which might answer your question.

    Venice

    In The Bottle: The sweetness from the red currant and violet plum shows up to the party first, but suddenly the gentle rose and lemon make an elegant late appearance. The heady jasmine and red sandalwood provide a solid foundation to the blend but are subtle enough to allow the juicy notes to take center stage. The violet, wisteria and orris root are the chorus behind the scene adding a subtle boost to the main event. Overall this is a fruity floral scent which is very feminine to my nose. On The Skin: Suprisingly the waterlily invades the spotlight for a brief moment as the currant and lemon decide to go home early. Rose and jasmine are wearing the same dress and violet is whispering about them in the back to her shy friend wisteria. Sandalwood is nonplussed and continues providing a modicum of decorum until waterlily leaves in a huff with the others in tow. At the end it's jasmine and sandalwood left dancing to the last song. Overall it's an intimate blend I imagine would be perfect at a summer party, pressing close to your lover oblivious to the drama unfolding around you. 6 out of 10

    Your Best-Bet "Must Try" Enabling Scents

    I just realized that I missed four pages somehow when I was counting! Maybe some threads got merged or something? So it's time for me to start counting again and compiling a new, improved list. Each time a scent is mentioned in this thread I'll give it one vote and we'll see which ones are the most popular. This might take awhile but it's going to be fun!
