So far my hands down summer fave, to me Aizen-Myoo smells like what I think cucumber flowers *should* smell like Its mellow, pretty and fresh, and stays true all day long. I've said before its like AC in a bottle, and thats exactly why I grab for it every day that's hot and sticky. I bought a 5ml after loving the imp, and now I know I need a 10 ml.

BPAL oils that repel bugs, flies, mosquitoes, bees, insects?

Tonight I wore Aizen -Myoo (so far my fave hot weather scent, too) and was hanging out at a gazebo with some friends and noticed the bugs were far less bothersome than usual. And I enabled a friend with its cool freshness -
I am loving this one way more than I thought I would. In the bottle it smells very brown sugary sweet and not like something I would like to wear. However, I tried a dab on, and it mellowed to a nice warm spicy, sugary baked apple smell. Maybe I'm just in denial about liking loving a foody scent, but it doesn't smell as foody as it sounds like it would... This is just cozy autumn comfort in a bottle

Very sweet, sugary happiness in a bottle! Though I don't wear this as a regular 'day scent', I was using the imp to apply a tiny dab after work for a nice happy dose, and have ordered a 5 ml for that reason. I dread winter and cold, dark days, so I'm hoping the joy mojo will help me battle that!

When I first tried this, I thought 'Wow, exactly sugary fun orange Kool-Aid--not much to add in reviews since that's been said'... However, I think a week or so of aging has brought out some yummy slightly dark spiciness that deepens this and gives it a nice, subtle nose-twitching kick. I'm very happy with this one!

I got Whip as a frimp in my last order. I don't think I would have ordered it, because I can't imagine what leather smells like in perfume, but I hate the smell of leather shops. This, however, smells so much like straight up fresh cut roses I couldn't imagine the much touted LE Rose Red smelling any rosier. Its a beautiful, true scent, and 5.5 hours after application it is the same as when I put it on. Really lovely, but I kind of feel like it wears me, rather than me wearing it. I feel like its a scent I have to live up to, if that makes sense. I'll probably give it another wear before deciding if its a bottle purchase or not. Regardless, I will certainly enjoy the imp either on my skin or as a nice 'where's the rose bouquet?' room scent... Hmm... Maybe I need to give some leathers a whirl afterall...

House of Night smelling like lilac to me, but my sister didn't find it so

My first review, so I picked an easy one! Somnus works like a dream! (So tacky, I know). I had my fingers crossed when I ordered this one, hoping it would help just half as much as it really does! At first I was a bit apprehensive, because upon application I actually become more alert and awake for about 15 minutes, and then it takes over and has its way with me... My mind and body let go of tension and slip into deep slumber. I usually need to get up once in the night because I drink so much water, but I must fall back asleep as my head hits the pillow! For the first time in...ages... I remember what its like to get through a day not groggy and exhausted! Thanks Beth, this is amazing stuff! (I really want to try Oneroi too, now!) Oh yeah, and regarding the scent--- definitely strong lavender, and I think the herbal is eucalyptus, maybe? Hm. I think I might dampen an old piece of cloth with Somnus and throw it into the dryer with my sheets
