    Hamadryad

    Hamadryad smells exactly like Ben Gay in the vial. Other people smells woods and spices and florals, but on my skin – it’s 100% Ben Gay “Lite.” Although it stays fairly close to the skin, I will occasionally get a highly medicinal waft of this scent during the first 30 or so minutes, after which it fades to a floral with a hint of B.O. It’s not something I’m ever going to wear in public. It fades fairly quickly, after only an hour or so.

    Thirteen (13)

    13 (2006 version) is an incredibly bakery-foody scent. It belongs in the sweets aisle at the supermarket. On my skin, it smells more like milk chocolate than white chocolate, and milk chocolate mixed with a lot of hazelnuts, at that. These are two of my least-favorite scents to wear on my body (although give me a bar of hazelnut chocolate and I’ll scarf it right down). The mandarin shines through the tiniest bit giving it a bit of bright fruitiness, but it’s mostly overpowered by the chocolate and hazelnut. If you’ve ever opened a tub of Nutella and breathed in the scent, that will give you a really good idea of what 13 smells like. It has a ton of throw, but that could just be because I’m hyper-sensitive to bakery scents, but the lasting power is poor.

    #20 Love Oil

    #20 Love Oil was excessively sweet and almondy when I first put it on. But after the initial dry-down, the almond faded into the background and it mellowed into something spicy and sexy, but very subtle. After about 2 hours, it's almost completely gone, and with the cost of BPAL oils, that just isn't enough to make me want to use it again and have to reapply, reapply, reapply. I'm going to pass this on to a friend who I think might like it.
  4. I just have to say, I posted last night saying "Whip" does it every time, and sure enough, I wore Whip again today and wow, you wouldn't believe the compliments from the guys I work with, all the attention, and even a free lunch. Woot! I should wear Whip every day!
  5. The only fragrance I've ever had men at work compliment me on is Whip. And wow, they start hanging out with me in droves. I'm married and so are most of them, so it's not overt, but there's definitely a level of attraction that I've noticed every single time I wear Whip. As for my husband, he doesn't really care what I wear as long as it doesn't make him crave any particular foods he can't have.

    When you need something comforting or cheering

    Bon Vivant! I can't help but feel sparkly and happy when I wear it.

    Scents to help quit vices

    I get the same lumps in my left breast from caffeine. I'm also trying to stay off it, but it's so hard. If you find something that *really* works, let me know!
