blood*rose*flowers

In the bottle: I imagine very sweet white flowers. Very, Very slightly floral but very clean, sweet and a tiny bit of spice. On wet: A warm scent with a slight spice (cinnamon), and slight floral. Its a clean warming scent that is very comforting and nice. Dry Down: The scents mingle deeper together becoming a beautifully blended scent. Very light and clean. Overall: I really like this scent it seems to bring me a little happiness and calming when I wear it. I think that it is a good centering oil and I have found it works very well when placed on the chakras or just the third eye. I have been mixing this with Thalia for its "Good Cheer" to help me get through some stress and found they create a lovely mix that really seems to keep my mood up.

In the bottle: Florals with a slight, slight tinge of spice with a very slight powdery scent. On wet: Jasmine, a slight musk and maybe a little of the sandalwood. Very nice light floral with a tinge of warmth around the edges. Dry Down: Wow this baby warmed up a whole lot of me!! Wow! I suddenly went from a light floral, to spicey with a touch of floral. Not really the jasmine now but more likely the Lily is what I am getting. I also am getting a tiny bit of the vanilla's sweetness. Overall: This scent is very different then I thought from the first sniff. This is a very warm sexy scent with just that touch of fem floral. Yummy!

In the Bottle: Spicey dirt this one is off to an odd start On wet: The potting soil scent drops off a tiny bit with a smidge more spice moving forward. Almost a little more like desert dust instead of the thick rich soil I get in the bottle. There also in brief sniffs seems like a slightly sandalwoody scent. Dry Down: I am getting a warm spicey scent like cinnamon or clove but maybe something else, and now a little Dragons blood maybe, but the scent is still tinged with that scent of dirt. This is one of the oddest scents. I have to say I really think I might like it. This actually makes me understand how some people could like the smell of dirt.

Alrighty I have an odd one I got a imp of Mata Hari a while back and brand new one from the Lab recently and they look and smell very differnt (though slightly similar) both have a resiny scent but one is pretty much clear and the other is a light orange. Can they change that much in color and smell over time? Or am I looking at two seperate entitys both claiming to be Mata Hari or is one just a little older ?

In the Bottle: The sweet scent of Dragons Blood with Lotus. Wet: The lotus comes out strong with a hint of sweet Dragons Blood in the back Dry Down: I am losing some of the sweetness otherwise the same notes are still here. Overall very similar to in the bottle very nice if you like Dragons Blood Blends

In the Bottle: I get the strawberries, cherries and some spice. Wet: The strawberries are coming right out with the cherries not far behind. This is the sweetness I thought I would get in Strawberry Moon but didn't. Dry Down: As this sits the sweetness gains an edge of spice and musk. This goes from being little girl to getting the edge of a naughty girl. Overall: Sweet but sexy I adore this scent it is a lovely mix of spice and fruit.

In the Bottle: A sweet tang of Almonds mixed with a tang of spices and slight florals. On wet: Almonds and spice I am unsure what spices but I get pictures in my head of saffron, nutmeg, sandalwood and for some reason cardamon though I am unsure. The scent is a clean spice nothing takes a real hold and none of the spice is hot like clove or cinnamon. Dry Down: Either this is Almond and sandalwood or something else. I don't know why I feel I have smelled this mix before. I keep thinking I have been somewhere that smells like this before or maybe had a similiar incense or something. Don't get me wrong this is not an incensey smell it just holds an odd hidden memory. The almond keeps holding on but the spices hold their own to give a deliciously, divine sultry scent. About an hour after application: wow theres a strange woody scent that has popped up. It could be sandalwood or something else but every now and then I catch the scent sitting over the spice and sweet that is still there.

In the Bottle: I smell sage and what must be the Sweet Pea. Wet: I get a fresh florally scent mixed with the Tonka which adds almost a sweet scent. Dry Down: This is getting a bit deeper and muskier the floral is really retreating leaving a nice scent of subtle musk, sweet and a tiny bit of floral though I don't get any of the sage I smelled in the bottle. Overall: This is a womanly scent a smidge musky a smidge of hidden girliness. Sexy and nice without being overwhelming.

In the Bottle: The Sweetness of the cherry On wet: Really green I don't know why I am think of the smell of fresh wet tumbleweeds as they are chopped apart. It is a heavy think green scent that is becoming slightly citrusy (grapefruit?) Dry Down: Where is the cherries?? I might be getting some tea now but I still can't tell what the green scent totally is. Overall: No cherries or even their blossoms found in here for me. This scent sadly is just a mix of green and citrus on my skin. Though fresh and nice this scent just wasn't quite what I was looking for.

In the bottle: Rosemary and Lavendar On wet: Lavendar lots of lavendar Dry Down: This one switches quickly to a much milder less heavy floral scent to a more incense scent as the frankincense comes forward. Overall: This is a very interesting mix of floral and incense this is very nice scent over all.

In the bottle: sweet resion with a harsh pine note that almost burns my nose (Oh no) On wet: I get a resiny pine scent. With the Almond and Vanilla slightly to the back. Dry Down: This reminds me a bit of a men's cologne I have smelled before but I have no idea what. The Pine has definetly died down and oddly everything has blended almost to well it is very hard to find almost any particular note. Overall: This is a very interesting scent very balanced but to me this seems just a little to masculine for me. But I bet it would smell sexy on my guy.

In the bottle: Super sweet syrup of Honey and Sweet. On wet: Amber and a super almost sickly sweet scent its a bit heavy so it is almost hard to reconize but assume its a honey scent. Dry Down: Now I get the Amber and The Vanilla but sadly I am starting to almost get that fakey Vanilla scent though thank goodness its not turning totalyl bad on me (most vanillas go PlayDoh on me). Overall: Sweet very fem. sexy scent. This is not a candy scent but a sweet sex kitten scent. I think a sweet 50's girl in her agoura pink sweater and full petticoated skirt and she is so ready once you get to the Drive-In to let you quickly go to first (possibly 3rd) base but when she gets out of the car everyone still thinks shes a good girl.

In the bottle: A very slightly sweet resin scent. I definetly smell the lovely Amber. On wet: First sniff all sandalwood. Dry Down: Now there is that Amber I had in the bottle its finally coming back to the forward with a tiny bit of that sandalwood hanging in the back. Overall: I believe that there may be a tiny bit of patcholli in this scent but I am still getting a very ambery, sandalwood scent. Sadly the cinnamon never shows up for me which is a disappointment. Overall this is a true incense scent.

In the Bottle: Floral with a smidge of spice probably from the sandalwoods On wet: Floral the unsual smell of the egyptian iris and again that touch of spice. Drying Down: Wow the depth of the sandalwoods and myrrh is completely deeping this scent. The Iris is retreating to the back. Overall: This scent is so clean I almost think of fresh linens. Nefertiti is dressed fresh and clean from water from the Nile pappered in the fresh scents of the desert oasis with Kohl eyes and a faint incense burning far away for the Isis is wafting into her dressing room. I have to say this scent was a major surprise I really had no expectations for it but find it very nice and I think perfect for summer.

In the bottle: Tobacco leaf and a scent little a very light white rum. First on wet: Very florally this reminds me of being in Hawaii again with the florals just lightly coming up in the heat of the day. Drying down: This goes very being very similar to Pele to a whole new scent. The rum comes back first, followed in time by a touch more of the tobacco leaf. Overall: This scent is very interesting because it starts so fem. but in the ends starts to become a neutral scent. It really has a neat balance to it.

This scent is very similar both on and in the bottle. It has the sweetness of the dragon's blood and some deepth from the musk and vetiver and I believe I even can smell a smidge of the patcholli. Sadly I get no cinnamon at all on me and since I am not a big fan of vetiver this one just isn't quite me. It is a very nice scent though for those that like a very resinous and incensy scents.

If your looking slightly more magical I would suggest Black Cat (description mentions bringing back joy and throwing out some minor irratations to foes) and White Light (clears away day to day stress). I also personally find Detox also helps me to relieve stress.

I introduce you to LXIV (64) In the bottle spicey, milky, sweet goodness a bit like shub-niggurath mixed with midway and milk moon. First sniff sweet and milky possibly something else I am very confused. It then switches briefly to a woody sweet scent but also florally? This is a very odd multi switching oil Ok here is where I tried to figure out some of the notes possible floral (carnation or something light ), milk possibly, sandalwood, and I suspected ginger on the first time I tried this. As it sits I get a little woodiness that scared me the first time I tried it since it is a BAD scent for me, but underneath I still get a super light floral and then the sweetniess starts to rise and make me smile. It starts a little bubblegummy but then switches to a cherry scent possibly tinted with a little red wine. Ok the floral came back up a smidge again but I know it will drop again. And it has back to the cherry maybe sandalwood background goodness. The weird thing is that this scent so reminds me of something but I have no idea what, though I don't think its another BPAL. But I do believe that I own a few with similar notes. The final scent eventually sits at a very slightly sweet almost cherry scent (Bing Cherries not an Artifical cherry) mixed with maybe sandalwood, a tiny hint of what might be a red wine, tobacco ? and maybe something creamy. Why am I getting a mental picture of two of the old Ice Cream shops I use to go to??? This puppy is insanely complex and though it scared me a whole lot the first time I tried it I know as it sits on me now as it travels through all its fazes I end up liking this little 64 though I can't say I would have intially chosen this on. It is really an amazing piece of art. ROCK ON BETH!!!! Now to run off and have a lab scientifically study the ingredients so A) I can see if I am right about any of this stuff and Get some more to share and Hoard EDIT: OK this is so odd, while playing with some new goodies I just got I realized that my little 64 is VERY smiliar to The Red Queen. Though 64 goes a smidge sweeter in the drydown and sets less woody on me.

In the bottle a slightly sweet citrus scent. With the sweet forward. Once on the lime rushes forward sharp and clean with a slight touch of sweet. Quickly this tones down to a more subtle scent that is very uplifting.The balance stays for some time of the slightly sweet with the lime reminding me of something like Limeaid but very natural. I got this oil because I have been having problems with stress that I have been holding in my stomach area that has caused me to have a major knot sitting near my solar plexius. I was shocked when I used this oil and almost immediatly the stress drop in about half and I felt more together even though I was still in the middle of the stress. I have been wearing this on and off since and I am in love with how this makes me feel. Even now this is making me feel a little lighter. I am so happy that I got this one it really seems to be doing just what I needed!!!

In the bottle I get straight apricot with Brandy but the apricot takes the lead. On the sweet apricot comes right up with just a hint of Brandy. On me this is a more sweet fuit scent then an alcholic scent. Its a really nice fragrance but like a few recently this one is just not holding on for me. It is fading down a little to quickly but is nice.

WARNING: Do not use while operating heavy machinery, do not drive a vehicle, hold seriously deep conversation, try to watch TV or do anything but climb into a yummy, comfy, bed with wonderful pillows while wearing this oil. In the bottle I get LAVENDAR, lots and lots of lavendar. As I apply it it seems like this oil has a slightly different cosistancy then I am use to with Beth's oils, but I go ahead and apply it to my chakras, chest and shoulders. I was told that the chest was a great way to apply but since I am a side sleeper I actually found that having applied it on my shoulders I was able to smell the oil easliy without having it anywhere on my face. As it goes on I find the scent a bit heavy at first a little too floral for me and a tiny bit medicinal. But I quickly find myself feeling ok about the scent and the lavandar grows on me and doesn't seem so cloying. Ok now I am waking up its morning I am a smidge groggy but wow I slept all night and I am very happy!!! I have been under a ton of stress lately (haha tends to happen as you get a month or so from getting married ) and this really helped me get to sleep instead of spending hours in bed making lists and thinking about junk. I also was able to stay asleep instead of waking myself up with thinking in the middle of the night. I also really like the fact that it didn't seem to interfer at all with my dreams or dream cycles. If you have some sleep struggles I would definetly suggest giving this oil a try it really seems to get the job done!

In the bottle an herbally very slightly sweet scent. First on this hits my skin as a herbally floral. Not in a heavy way as with Flower moon but instead it sits a little closer to the way Alice turns on me after a period of time. In time the sweet scent starts to rise but never in a heavy way. This scent is light in a summery way, its not cloying or heavy on any of its parts instead it blends like a mix of memories of summer. Its hard to explain why I get the feeling of driving by fields of crops growing in the summer sun, alfalfa, oranges, strawberries all of the crops I drive by smelling not the fruits but the greenness of the leaves, the slight damp that is finally burning off as the sun rises, a tinge of sweetness as the flowers blume attracting bees. All the while the sun is shining on my skin. This scent is not nearly as rich and sweet as I thought it would be I was thinking of mead like is in Hellcat but instead its light and floral with a tinge of sweetness that is hinted at the back. I tend not to much care for florals but find this scent light enough to actually enjoy and blend to it is unusual and very nice.

I am currently in tears over this oil I am curious if anyone knows what the similiar notes are to milk moon in this oil? Since this did exactly the same thing on me and went all burnt plastic on my skin. I am going to try a carrier oil since I was told that could save it. I really wanted this to work. I would do a longer review but the burnt plastic scent didn't sneak up on me like Milk Moon but instead only hit that note and never moved off.

When I first tried this at BB it was only because some one else there said how nice it was. So I tried it and was a little shocked. The next time I went in I tried it again and had to have it! Since I hadn't read the description until now I have to say my first thought was Patchouli but there was a hint of something else now I realize it is the copal that I smell in the bottle. On I still get the patchouli but it has a lovely scent of the copal and what must be the earthy smell of the oakmoss at the back. Wow, now with the description in mind I get the wonderful floral hinted at the back. This is glorified patchoulli to me in a wonderful, yummy none hippy way. This oil is so amazingly well balanced, I can't believe that a floral can blend so well with patchouli. This scent just reminds me of the color green money, the forest, moss, the rare bathed green haired hippy, etc.. Personally I like patchouli but felt I was a little past wearing it but let me tell you I love this oil! It is so unlike the other scents I tend to like of Beth's but this really makes me happy and feel a bit grounded. Funny too since it is the only oil so far that I have liked on my FI and myself. Greed is GOOD!! Having heard that this oil actually was attuned to the positive aspects of greed (money/prosperity drawing) I used some of this oil on myself and money box when I was selling at a swap meet and I like to think that it helped us sell.

I put this on the similarities page but just came across this. I actually just was noticing last night that White Rabbit on at least my skin smelled really similar to Milk Moon. Since I don't have my Milk Moon any more I am curious to smell someones milk moon next to White Rabbit to see if the bottles also smell similar.
