Remember, folks: if you don't like it, it will last forever.

You should totally try Eternal. Don't look at the notes. Based on you're liking Fae and something else, you should just trust me and try it. It's solid flowers, but I'm almost positive you'd like it.

Is there any way to keep *just* row 1 (the titles) frozen? I'd like to keep the categories in view, but I loathe keeping the whole first 35 in view.

How allergic are you? Will you get sick just from sniffing it? In my experience, clove is a bold note.

From a sheer odds perspective I'd say you'd probably be ok. But that goes back to the severity of your allergies.

Um. Alcohol? Yeah, no. I'm hypersensitive to the alcohol that's used in commercial perfume, and there's nothing like that in BPAL scents, even in the boozy ones.

That said, there's definitely a "BPAL smell" to many scents, and that's what my imp box smells like.

I think going with more 'type' scents might be good, with fewer notes.

And he definitely needs to try them on HIS skin before he passes judgement. I recently went to a meet-n-sniff, and two girls had the exact same oil on, and it was drastically different on each of them.

But for boys: Villain, Severin, and Whitechapel are awesome. Very clean, without whatever makes some of the heavier scents smell slightly similar to one another.

They're TAL. The TAL website has descriptions.

ahhh. Thanks! I'll just have to order a bottle from the lab. Twist my arm!

Dymphna: Yeah, I can find the review thread (plus I know it's in Mad Tea Party), but trying to find a swap for it is impossible. I don't get it, because both Five and Seven are over the limit for letter. I really ought to take this whine over to the proper thread.

Also, when you look up Gaelic pronounciations, do remember that Scots Gaelic and Irish Gaelic are pronounced slightly differently.

I suspect the issue with refrigeration is more the humidity than the temperature. Long term storage of just about everything requires a cool, dry environment.

an Italian 'e' is sort of like 'ay' as in 'May', without closing all the way to the ee sound. Italian 'i' is just ee.

Fun Fact: It is apparently impossible to get Two, Five, and Seven to pop up in search results. Five and Seven both give zero results. Fun for the whole family!

Ae would probably be more like the Italian e or i, in my experience, although I very well could be wrong.

The 'ou' of sound is the right vowel. In my experience, people usually pronounce it as two syllables, 'sow' like a female pig, and 'when'.

I'd recommend looking for actual flower notes, as opposed to just "floral".

If it just says floral, it's likely to be a white or green floral. Searching for violet, rose, jasmine, carnation, etc., which are all flowers, is likely to yield you a better result, imo.

Yep! You definitely can. And if #1 is true, #2 is true.

Just don't use Paypal through CCNow.

It also might be a particular type of musk.

Right now, the bottles come without reducers. I'm not sure whether you can ask for them or no.

Ohh...yeah, if it's staying power you want, you're sort of screwed. Unfortunately, anything nice and light tends to be made up mostly of topnotes, which have very little staying power.

Light fruits and tea are good for warm weather. Non-foody. Citrus is also very good. Think "green".

Shanghai is great. Another scent that I've been wearing a lot recently is Two, Five, and Seven. It's a very light, green rose scent, that on at least a few people is really sparkling. On me, it's like sparkling apple juice. Tart, effervescent, and bright. Delish.

Yes! Desdemona was the other one lurking in the back of my brain that I couldn't quite think of. I quite like it as well. But it's definitely a calm fresh-water pond, to my mind.

As someone who loathes aquatics, I really must pimp Danube. Very nice.

oh dear! That's pretty scary.

I just adore orris scents (except for Florence ), and I feel compelled to share the love.

It's worth noting that iris in perfume is from the root, not the flower, so if it's a pollen/scent issue there, the orris blends might be ok, although I'd certainly understand your reluctance.

If you wear a scent to study, be sure to wear the same scent during the exam! It's that weird conditional memory thing.
