    The Best Scents for Home, a Room, the Car...

    :nods wildly at this: Oh. Em. Gee. it's hot out here. Not so much a scent suggestion, but have you thought about tying the cord long enough you can take the amphora inside with you during the day?

    How full is full?

    Actually these days you can generally expect the level to be somewhere between the label and the cap. I believe they are now exactly 1ML, and just like with the 5ML bottles they will appear more or less "full" depending on how well the particular imp was made.

    The Hanged Man

    Apples and lotus wet, and I do mean wet apples and wet lotus! Something… not quite powdery, slightly reminiscent of the candlewax I get in The Star and yet not, comes out on the drydown. This is my Year Card for 2006, so pardon me while I pop over to purchase a bottle. (Incidentally I'm looking forward to what The Hanged Man might show me this year, it's going to be an... interesting ride, I think.)

    How do you apply your BPAL oils?

    If you started reading at the beginning of the thread, it dates back to February of 2004 The Lab stopped including reducer caps at some point between then and June 2005 (date chosen because there were no reducers in my first order )

    What do bottles and labels look like?

    The Muse bottles are so preeeeeeeeetty... I fiddled with the sharpness to try to bring up the detail, even the backgrounds to the labels are subtly and suitably different!

    What scents are masculine? Gender-neutral?

    Magus. Magus Magus Magus... even my husband said it smells masculine on me, and I? Do not care a bit

    Beaver Moon 2005

    I've never hated my chemistry so much. This is gorgeous and sweet and delectable, right before it turns into nasty chalk and sets off the sneezes.

    Lick It

    So, I passed on this at its debut because I didn't think I wanted to smell like a candy cane... I should know better! Reviews made me crave an imp and a kind forumite fulfilled my wish It is exactly what I hoped it would be! Halfway between Milk Moon and Chaste Moon: sweet but not too sweet, minty but without the floral background of Chaste Moon. Later, I had my husband sniff my wrist, and he PLANTED his nose on my skin… and then licked me! He must be psychic or something. Seriously, I am so in love with this scent now, it's nuts.

    Hearth

    "Soft pine" is not soft enough for my poor nose I can smell the foody goodness underneath, but have you ever seen someone sneeze with a mouthful of nuts?

    Herr Drosselmeyer

    What I wanted Hearth 2005 to be on me: light, sweet smoke with touches of leather. Mmmmmm Herr D., what a lovely man you are! ETA: I spoke too soon Something got up my nose when I tried it on the other night, but I brushed it off as a lingering note from Saturn... alas. Is it the linen? I can't be sure, but something in here makes me react the same way I do to amber scents. Waaah!

    What do bottles and labels look like?

    Yup, the auction is here. I remember Macha saying she didn't think the t-shirt design would translate well to a label, the length and width were such that too much detail would be lost. The other thing I'm wondering is about the Rappacini's Garden labels, 'cause the picture above appears to be on a 10ml bottle. I guess the label on a 5ml would have less of the greenery surrounding it? More incentive to make the jump for a 10ml if I find an RG scent that works on me

    Dead Man's Hand

    Okay, it looks like I'm alone in this, but along with the OMGLEATHER! I smell clean, sunwarm horse in here

    CCNow Questions & Problems

    That's normal. PayPal is actually doing two transactions. The first transaction is taking the money out of your bank account (or charging your credit card or whatever) to fund your account, then the second transaction is taking the funds from your account and sending it on to the recipient. For legal reasons they have to show both transactions. The only time you will only see the one outgoing transaction is when you have a PayPal balance - then you'll see the "To" transaction as coming from your balance. But somewhere in your history, there's going to be a "From" transaction that will offset that "To". There always has to be a zero sum. Your "From"s have to equal your "To"s plus any PayPal balance. That's what I thought, yet I frequently see folks talking about "pre-funding" their Paypal accounts before an update, so it's somewhat confusing.

    CCNow Questions & Problems

    Maybe I've got my Paypal set up differently, but this happens simultaneously for me? I tell it the source of funds is my bank, and the transfer in is completely transparent to me. It shows up as two transactions in my history, the transfer in and then immediately back out, but I only did the one procedure. Hmmm.

    Bliss

    I smell like a quintuple-fudge chocolate brownie With... :sniffs more: semi-sweet chips in. And it's Ghirardelli baking chocolate, not Nestles.
