    Snow, Glass, Apples

    straight sniff from bottle is ripe, juicy macintosh apples... once applied this has the best apple aroma ever...after a short while there is something almost icy but not in an aquatic or ozone kind of a way... it is hard to describe...almost a floral icy edge... gorgeous but i just wish it lasted longer...i will definitely have to be wearing this one in my scent locket to get more wearable smelliness

    CCNow or PayPal

    No, absolutely not. 'Shipped' means the lab had got the details of your order from CCNow. Your order will not have been posted from the lab until you receive a click and ship from USPS. aha!! thanks for the clarification =D

    CCNow or PayPal

    cc now question... if you click on the order status and it says it has shipped, has it "physcially" been shipped? IIRC there was a thread somewhere that said something about that not being the case...anyone?

    Chaos Theory IV: Edge of Chaos

    CDLXXXIV (484) creamy lemon with a refreshing watery note that is similar to a babbling brook DIII (503) a light caramel with some raisin and plum thrown in for good measure DXIV (514) fruity jasmine and honey DXXXIII (533) quite possibly the most astonishingly gorgeous maraschino cherry note i have ever experienced! DLVIII (558) post fruity pebbles including that cereal-grainy note with ice cold milk DLXIV (564) honeyed vanilla with thick ripe fig notes DCIII (603) mulling spices, blood orange, green pepper, resinous, cakey i have to admit these are beth's most stunning creations when it comes to the CT series to date... the throw for all ~ more than outstanding if you are on the fence about ordering, just do it...i am sure you will be pleasantly surprised!!

    Terrae Massage Oil

    first off, let me say how this truly keeps me grounded...it is a miracle... the scent...well, it is nothing short of divine!! the patchouli and myrrh and heaven scent =-) the clary sage and oakmoss add the perfect depth...i could not be happier with this non-greasy, completely absorbing massage oil...

    La Primavera Atmospheric Spray

    this is really floral yet so beautiful and nothing like i have ever experienced before in a room/linen spray.... the tuberose is phenomenal and the rose and sugar combined with the lemon and orange blossoms is spectacular....elegant!!

    Aeronwen

    straight sniff from bottle is myrrh and the blackest of musks... once applied there is fig and tarragon...this has an almost dark cocoa feel to it....then a woodsiness that is kind of weird on me....hmmm... i wanted to love this and maybe with age i will...it just seems to get "green" on me and it does not make a nice combo; zero orange ...
