Ina Garten Davita

Oh, Florence fits the bill really well. Such a warm, melting sunsetting sort of scent but with a crispness underneath that hints that the end of summer is coming.

Veil. It's just wonderful.

I'll be leaving Chatter in the very capable hands of Morrighana and Macha and EDBM with Heartbeast. Please refer all issues to my lovely co-mods. Also, please hold all spreadsheet requests until after May 25th. I'll have the updated version with all the new goodies ready then. Thanks and have a super-great day.

Hexennacht has a tiny witch's hat on the label. It's ever so cute. OOPS, I totally didn't see that piccie. But I still think it's so cute.

First Impression: Pink and green goodness. Second Impression: This is most definitely a "make love in the sun, covered in fresh flower petals" sort of scent. It's bright, fresh, clean, green, pink, ALIVE! The drydown is lush and soft. Final Analysis: A perfect scent to say goodbye to winter and celebrate the lovely, long days of spring.

First Impression: Exactly how I thought Samhain would smell after reading all the reviews, but not a strictly "autumn" scent. Second Impression: What a gorgeous blend this is. It's smokyjuicywoodsysexy. I do detect a hint of vetiver in the long, long drydown but not enough to put me off. Hexennacht is a keeper. Final Analysis: Smells so good, I can't even believe how good this smells.

First Impression: Lavender but not. Second Impression: This works so well. I was buzzing after a hellish week and I slathered some of this on my wrists and temples and it shut my head up and calmed into a deep and dreamless sleep. Final Analysis: The scent is a bit rosy, a but lavendery and just lovely, really clean. This will be a staple for the "can't settle down" times.

First Impression: Lemon zinger tea! Second Impression: Oh, this is nice. It's so soothing, it reminds me of those lovely honey-lemon throat lozenges that my nana used to give us when we had colds when we were little. The drydown is slightly creamy. Final Analysis: Soothing and delightful.

First Impression: Freshly turned dirt with a hint of moss...exactly, identically, amazingly. Second Impression: Not for one second did I think that this would smell good on me, but I was ever so wrong. I don't think it's something I'd like to smell like all the time, but I was completely blindsided by the way this smells on my skin. I'm even getting whiffs of wood flecks (mmm cedar) that you sometimes find in freshly turned earth. Final Analysis: How does Beth do it?

Lilith and 54 aren't a match for me either. Lilith is so lush, juicy and thick and 54 is much drier.

You are all going to squeee over the Panacea labels. Beyond squeee. ETA:

For me it's the carnival that they put in the parking lot of the Revere Theater every spring. Caramel corn, fried dough and the ring toss all squished into this tiny blue bottle.

It's no big surprise that leather is not one of my favorite notes, but in the bottle this smells really good. It smells *exactly* like the leather in a brand new car and the leather shop at the mall. It's really amazing how that true to life scent has been captured in this little, tiny blue bottle.

I got this from one of the lovely and bursting imp swap bags that passed by me yesterday. (Goodness, that was so fun!) First Impression: A very vivid lavender scent. Second Impression: I applied some to my temples before bed last night. It took awhile to fall asleep but when I did, I dreamed and I remembered. I dreamt about a perfect man-nequin who came to life and well, it's just too private to go on... Final Analysis: I'm keeping this one.

First Impression: Dry and a bit sour. Second Impression: This scent smells exactly like the description, exactly like I thought it would. For a bit anyway, then my skin chemistry got ahold of it and turned it into a really lovely, sweet incense perfume. Final Analysis: Pretty, but I don't think it's supposed to be.

No need to be testy. We're all trying to help you with your issue the best we can. I'll reiterate, perhaps you should get another imp of March Hare and compare. I'm sure there may be one or a decant of it available in the swap thread. That is all.

Get another imp of March Hare and compare. If they are different then yes, it may have been labelled in error. If not, then you are allergic to some component of March Hare. Beth does not list every single ingredient in her oils in the descriptions. If you have a question, direct it to customer service at the lab, I'm sure they can accomodate you.

First Impressions: Jasmine? No. Second Impression: This is the creamiest, spiciest, sweetest, freshest magnolia that I've ever had the pleasure of having near my sense of smell. Final Analysis: Sinfully good.

Chaos Theory XV from Chaos Run Amok swap circle. Happy childhood memories..banana tangy taffy. Previously reviewed by Red_Hot_Mama, hypothermya, with coffee spoons, harlequin, quantum spice and inkstone.

Chaos Theory XVII from Chaos Run Amok swap circle. Mmmm, creamy lemon curd on a scone. Previously reviewed by supasonicsage, hypothermya, with coffee spoons, harlequin, quantum spice, inkstone and paperdoll.

Chaos Theory XXII from the Chaos Run Amok swap circle. This blend is so beautiful, I don't even know where to begin. This is a perfect floral and whoever was lucky enough to have gotten this, well just Slightly sweet, slightly creamy and all around sexy and feel good. Wow. Just wow. Previously reviewed by inkstone and goddessrobyn.

Chaos Theory XCV from the Chaos Run Amok swap circle. This blend smells just like Aeval sans the sweet pea. Previously reviewed by hypothermya, with coffee spoons, harlequin, quantum spice and inkstone.

Chaos Theory XXXIII from the Chaos Run Amok swap circle. This is a super-heady floral blend, bordering on headachy. It's a very old-fashioned floral blend that smells like something that a grown-up lady would have worn when I was a small girl. It tempers much when it dries, but still remains very deep and heady. Almost serious. Previously reviewed by Emu Nymph.

Each bottle of Chaos Theory is truly unique, a fragrant fractal, an exercise in the joy of chance and uncertainty! Each is a one-of-a-kind, utterly random combination of scents, the composition of which is based on whim, mood and gut instinct. Each bottle is numbered, and comes with a small parchment certificate. Chaos Theory LXVIII from the Chaos Run Amok swap circle. This is one of those scents that starts of watery and weak, but as it dries it gains momentum and throw and POW! This scent is yummy. I smell tonka, musk and a floral that may be gardenia touched with a hint of heliotrope. The longer it wears, the better I like it.

Ivyandpeony brought her bottle of Lionheart over tonight and I had the good fortune of sampling it. First Impression: Sweetness and light. Second Impression: Mmmmm, it's like Crucible of Courage only with a different floral note. Rather than roses, heliotrope, yes, jjj, thank you! This scent is clean, sweet and breathtaking. It's one of those that you keep sniffing and sniffing and sniff some more. You just want it all around you. Final Analysis: I'd like to add a bottle of this to my collection, it's a happy-maker.
