evanesce

Namaste Well.. I like it. It smells, quite frankly, like a hippie commune on me.. all patchouli and cedar and sandalwood. Like a new age store down by the beach. It makes me think of summer and long dreaded hair, and sandals and bells on my ankle, and dancing in circles at the concert with rusted root in the rain. However - My skin loves the ingredients and amplifies them... and my boy isn't too fond of the smell over-all. I guess I'll be wearing it when he isn't around

I actually washed up just to put this one on... Queen of Diamonds smelled very sharp to me in the bottle. I was a little unsure of it all.. Wet, it stays sharp, citrusy and what I am assuming is this ozone/aquatic smell people mention. It's almost a pain to breathe in Early dry, it's still sharp and fruity. But it's more like an orange with spikes, vs a nice squishy orange on a summer morning Later, the florals came out. It smells like a department store perfume. My boy and I talked through and we landed on the idea that it smells like CK's Obsession.. I'll have to check that out next time in Dillards. Final judgement, I can't rush on this, but at the moment, Her Royal Highness might not be extending her stay in my humble home.

Same here. I used the unscented sensitive skin formula. And lemmie tell you, it holds the scent. I just hate the thought of using that much of an imp, so this is reserved for 5mL bottles.

Jack - sickly sweet and cloying. Like Yankee Candle during a Fall Holiday Sale. It smells like butter. Butter over some kind of sugar coated nut. Maybe there's a pumpkin sneaking up in there, but I don't smell it. On my skin it makes me dizzy and ill and turns into a tub of creamed butter and sugar. My boyfriend and I agree whole-heartedly that this is not a "body" scent for either of us. However - Then we made the decision to dump the imp into the oil burner and light my Red Delicious candle. Mmm Mmmm MMMMMMmmmm!!!! It smells like a bakery in here. A wonderful. scented, enveloping bakery. Like this one I know back home that makes awesome apple tarts and pizza... *smiles* So, I've murdered the imp, and I may be buying a 5mL just to keep that yummy bakery smell in my house through all the coming cold months.

I'm horribly allergic to Malice. I put it on and my skin instantly got inflamed and red and swollen and I started to itch so badly I want to peel my skin off! Hence, I swapped it out. I still don't know what caused it... I'm gonna look at the break down so I can figure it out. I've worn a lot of straight essential oils and I have only been ordering stuff with notes I am familiar with (and allowing the lab to throw in whatever they want as random, so it works out)...

This scent changed 8,000 times on me, and I liked it every time. First when wearing it, it smells like that heavy, cloying potpourri found in Bed, Bath and Beyond. A few hours later, it smelled like pumpkin pie.. and the a few hours later, cocoa and cinnamon, and now it smells like burning fall leaves... It's amazing how it changes over time on my skin. I definitely love it.

Roses. Lots of Roses. I know that it's roses because it smells like my great grandmother's bedroom, and she, like me, loved roses. The moment I put this on, I felt 4 years old again, running my finger along the lace edge of the cloth on her dresser, looking at my grandmother's wedding photo. I remembered sitting on her lap and hugging her.. And yet, it's not old ladyish. It made me feel playful and mischevious.. I like it. I see bigger bottles in my future of this... The scent did not change too much on me, except the roses coming out in full force... so there's not much to say about the dry down. But my computer room still smells like it.

Bath and Body Works has a muscle relax/pain line. I bought my mother the lotion for her feet (she has chronic pain in her feet and will be operated on Dec 3).. It really helped her a lot and the scent of it relaxed her.. I believe it had rosemary and spearmint and eucalptus in it.. I don't remember off the top of my head - they also have a soak, powder and other stuff made specifically for muscle aches and pains...
