    Allergy Questions, Allergies and other reactions to oils

    yesterday I put All night long (also Voodoo blend) and although it didn't actualy burn, everywhere i applied it left red hot circles. That made me wonder..... *whispers* should it be applied somewhere else than on the skin I am thinking along the lines of Viacreme? And NO, i am not going to try, it's just a question!

    Banshee

    A very strong citrus scent is all i get out of the bottle, a great wake up scent! However like all cirtus scents on my skin it lasts about 5 minutes... there is only a very bland reminder on the place the scent once was... Will keep the imp in my purse to sniff it in the mornings I go to work butcannot wake up ETA, I took this one on a city trip to Barcelona a few months ago, and i was very suitable to the soft climate, now i am sad it's discontinued because i would order it for summer and spring
  4. Also a question, Midnight reminds me strongly of a Lush product but I cannot figure out which one..... It might be aqua mirabils? who can help? Oh, almost forgot: the new showergel Flying Fox abd Delight are EXACT match ( well for me cause my skin kick up Jasmine as a single note in both)

    Jack

    Sniffing the Imp from Tesseljoan made me fall in love with Jack immediatly! And .... Tessel gave her imp to me, thanks hun, that was so kind!! This IS the perfect autumn scent, and all what is autumn is mine In Holland we have not much of a halloween tradition(although it's starting to become more popular) so I have no idea how pumkinpie/bread/mouse should smell like but if it smells like Jack, oh yum! Makes me think of long walks in fall, storm and a warm fireplace, blankets and spicy cake. Hope it will not change much because 5 ml is going to be orderd with the Harvest Moon! ETA: today i received the 5 ml, and to my suprise... it didn't change at ALL, but I have not really a fine nose like some of you have, I often cannot even detect a note in scent so I stay with the text above...love, love love!!

    Blue Moon 2004

    When I got my order there where lots of bottles to sniff and so I sniffed Blue Moon. First, "weird, not really nice, put it aside when i have time to learn to know it better" Side note: some of Beth scent cannot be approched untill you go though a proces of learning to know it bit by bit. Blue Moon is that kind of scent. Compare it for example with Dana O shee, on me, that's immediatly wearable. But not Blue moon...Maybe because it's a magic blend? Today, I felt like ready for it. Blue moon is amazing, very complex and makes me feel calm and powerful. I was a little afraid it turn out too aquatic on me but the juniper makes it earthy and warm on my skin. It's not overpowering but it's there, around me. I am very glad to have ordered a 5ml, and looking forward to the other moon scents!

    Job Interview Recommendations

    The world, but little dab as it is quite strong and potential. I used it last week when doing a difficult task at work and it made me feel in control

    Leather

    one word:De Sade
  9. not as if i tried but Dana o shee layered with clove (a tiny bit) could come close. Dana comes close already as i am combining the two right now and it's edible
  10. YES! Jailbait would be bought by me for sure I love sweet scent though I am more on the honey, almond, milk side. Gluttony is very sweet but not candy like, more toffee, toothace inducing sweet *drool*

    Recs for Longest Lasting Oils

    I found out that every oil containing Patchouli has a good lating power on me, and rose as well. quick faders are minty and lemony scents (well i am stating the obvious right)
  12. Dana O Shee makes a good one, I mixes with your own skin like it's your natural skin scent I love it but the reason it stays very close to me I only wear it to sleep with.

    La Bella Donna Della Mia Mente

    beautiful and pleasant! A new love. A scent to wear at a romantic picknick. When I read the notes i expected something like persephone but it's totally different. So much more fresh and summertime. I love peachnotes and this has a tiny tip of that. I really recommand this one, is another Lab's favorite!!!! ETA: After wearing it a couple of times (was also lucky to get another Imp as a Freebie, I decided not to add it to my 5 ml wishlist. Even it's a scent to die for, it's too soft and fragile for my personallity. It would be like an Elephant wearing silk underwear
  15. I am testing Serpent qui Dance today and it's quite similar to Daddyo and Bathos, they will go very good togeter.

    De Sade

    Hmmmm addictive! Like shoe cream, that scent you have to stick your nose in! Very nice, not to wear a a perfume to work or anything but just sniffing to comfort yourself

    Le Serpent Qui Danse

    I am a real violet fan so no wonder I love this scent. On my skin it developed a little strange. On the wrist after 30 min. it started to smell worn (like perfume on onwashed clothes smells after a couple of days. There is some kind of base note that stays on the wrist, not very plesant. But on other body parts it developed nice violet with some sweet tone underneath. And as i never wear perfume on my wrist exept for testing, this is a keeper and perhaps a bottle in the future....

    Djinn

    I got it in a swap and am attracted by the name as my boyfriend often tells me about the Djinnii in Morocco near the water and in the sink (never cry in the shower as the Djinn get to you and make a strange twist in your face...I really, I know a woman who got that:o) Oke, the scent is hostile but also i could not stop sniffing my wrist. It might have some vetiver?? Because there is someting that reminds me of Hurricane and Bluebeard. This is not an everyday scent but I can think of certain moods when it will fit. As it gives me the feeling people will avoid me when I use it
  19. Old morocco__ You might like Samsara

    Envy

    This one is moving slowly but surely to the top of my favorite list ( like it's envying the other scents on that list ) On me it's a toothpast like mint wich reminds me a lot of a game we did as child. We filled plastic fridge bags with toothpaste and shampoo and sqeezed it all day long. The way my hands smell that time is exactly how Envy smells. I do not get the lime at all. It's calming and keeps me fresh on warm days

    The smell of night

    to me thats Envy! The mint even gives it a cold sensation on the skin. Also (but not tested yet): Ultraviolet Cathode

    Amber Bottles vs Other Colors

    ambers great!!! I have even read somewhere that amber colored glass is better for keeping oils because they are on the red side of a light spectrum blablah etc... (I don't know ,just quoting )
  23. High John and Jungle! not the fresh High John but the High John left on clothes. I was wearing a jacket today wich i had worn slathering High John. While walking I caught a scent comming from the jacket and I was like Hmmmmmm, yummy Jungle. But then, I didn't use Jungle for a long long time and it couldn't get on the jacket?? When I smelled the Jacket closer it was the High John ETA yet another one: Envy and Freeze showergel, not so similar but a perfect match on a hot summerevening

    What BPAL is the most like Shalimar?

    I used to wear Shalimar and Vixen and ravenous reminded me both, certainly after the drydown
  25. quinkel

    Different smells/colors, same perfume

    Wasn't it Hellcat that had been discontinued for a while? or was that Hellfire?? (names are not my strongest point)
