I have a friend that wears Angel, and I swear it smells just like Masabakes.

The notes in this oil did not have me too excited about it, but like all Beth's blends, you never, ever know what can happen. Wet...a bit too tangy for my taste. Just tang, tang, tang. Dry..OMFG. creamy, sexy musk...just a hint of the patchouli and spices. I am so pleased! My husband, who is thankfully very much into my bpal addiction, was like..."Whoa. Which one is that? I mean, come here...(sniffs, licks, sighs)I really, REALLY love this one, buy a big bottle". When I told him the name, he was like..."Did they name it after the game??" I love him so much. And, needless to say, a big bottle it is!

I tried this one a long time ago and wasn't all that excited about what it did on my skin. But now, a couple years later, it is my signature angry scent. When I am just really feeling antisocial and yes, angry, I wear it. On me it smells like a scorched hayfield. And, um, I love it. However, when my husband gets a whiff of it, he hides.

It starts out quite boozy, then creamy, thick honey with a bit of smoke. Delectable, and very layerable. Dragon's Blood meet Kill Devil.

I should have known better when I saw myrrh in the description, but I couldn't resist. I repeatedly try scents that have notes in them that hate me because I am intrigued or excited by the descriptions. And you never know, there could be that one time where you try it, and it works. Wet..Ok, nothing bad yet, soft herbs, lots of yummy sandalwood. Dry...Plastic. Horrible, horrible plastic. *sigh*

With the exception of a select few, I am not a big floral fan. Aeval doesn't smell like a floral on my skin. It is crisp, clear and very addictive. Wet...Definitely smell the sage and the musk, but not a whiff of sweet pea or tonka. Dry...The tonka eases in and makes everything creamy, while the sage keeps it a bit sharp. That probably doesn't help you, but there you have it. I love this scent completely. I just received my imp of it yesterday, and already it is about half gone. I put it everywhere. All of my hats are covered and I find myself compulsively sniffing myself. My heavy hand is definitely due to my enjoyment, because it has lots of staying power on my skin and wafts beautifully. Amazing.

I had such high hopes for this one. I am strangely drawn to the red scents, I mean, if it is red in the bottle, I gotta have it. In the bottle..floral coconut On my skin wet...plastic-y coconut. Drydown...Horrifying. It winds up smelling like somekind of floral candy. It smells like what Choward's Violet Mints taste like, only not as good, if that makes any sense. My husband is usually always right there to sniff and give his opinion, and with this one, I didn't even have to put my arm up for him to smell. He came into the bedroom and was like,"What is that plastic fruit smell?!" HOWEVER! It smells most lovely in my oil warmer!
