Saffrin

Check out the price calculator on USPS's website. I believe they have a fairly flat international starting point, so it'd start at about $7.10. For reference, a 5ml weighs about 1oz.

Technically customs wouldn't have an issue with it if it was just marked "perfume oils". However, customs agents tend to actually know the postal laws and restrictions, where as post office workers are more sketchy on them. You can also use "scented oils", "body oils", "fragrance oils." All of these are entirely correct, as that is what the product is - oil with a scent.

Generally, it's the time it is available for. In this case, "Lilith series live until December 8" means "Lilith series available until December 8". "X goes live on" is "X becomes available on".

Check in with your post office. Sometimes they mark it as delivered when they load it for delivery, and if they can't deliver it, don't edit the tracking, etc.

There are definitely some batch variations from time to time. On top of that, though, 3 years is a pretty big time difference for aging, particularly when the older one is an imp, which age faster than bottles anyway. Vanilla is something that comes out a lot with age, too. There's a thread floating around dedicated to this question, but for the life of me I can't remember what subforum it is in. Silly me. Found it! http://www.bpal.org/topic/3142-different-smellscolors-same-perfume/page__st__575

I don't really know the answer, but I had a parcel from a decant circle in the US sent back by the postal service and it took the best part of 3 months to get back to it's origin, so it may still have a while to go before it turns up. I believe, to save on shipping costs, that when parcels get sent back internationally, it tends to be via surface mail, rather than air. Surface mail takes a great many months. :/

That's how I apply all mine anyway. Haven't had a single one go ew from it or anything. I would assume most people use wand caps so they don't accidentally spill when they tip the bottle. I think those that are more worried about skin oils tend to use coffee stirrers or the such, which are easily one time use.

I use oil straight from the bottle. Finger over the top, upend, rub finger in spot. I do have some with wand caps from forum sales, but I forget they have them every time, and almost spill them everywhere when I don't lift the wand up high enough to clear the bottle when putting the cap aside. :/ Reducer caps are the bane of my existence.

Dee is also one of the names that has come up quite a few times in recent history in the batch variation thread.

I'm naturally a dark copper redhead, all autumny, and it's kind of funny to see people putting down redheads as spicy/resins, and then lots of the redheads saying they're all about floral/fruits. Count me up as another one. I love spring meadow and summer orchard kind of scents. Fruits, florals, honeys with a small bit of earthiness. My mum is also a copperhead, but lighter/softer all over in general. She's a huge foodie, loving vanillas, etc, as well as a huge dark kind of person. Her collection is all food based scents, and then there's Queen Mab and Black Ice thrown in randomly as top loves. My blonde sister is all soft florals and roses, whereas my brunette sister is all about bright, slightly spunky scents. She likes sparkling fruits and loud candy scents.

Unfortunately, the scent doesn't have a notes listing, so it'd be hard to pin down. Headaches are easily set off by notes your body doesn't like, and it doesn't have to be particularly rare - just one you haven't had before, and the lab has a LOT of notes. Mine, for instance, are reallly common - white tea, black tea and opium, though I only have a few imps with them, because the lab has such variety.

Bayou (A lazy, warm deep green scent with a thick aquatic undertone: Spanish moss, evergreen and cypress with watery blue-green notes and an eddy of hothouse flowers and swamp blooms.) might fit what you need, though on me, it went all hot, and not much of the water, but, skin chem and all. Another one that I got warmish/humid woody swamp from was Niflheim (The House of Mists, a land of icy fog, shadowy darkness and soul-chilling cold. Dark, damp blossoms winding through an impenetrable, murky gloom.) but a bunch of other people don't get the warmth from it that my skin brought out somehow.

Yeah. They haven't made scents for a greattt many years. Think I started buying from them in '08, and the scents were long gone then. You should have some delicious super aged goodness, by the sounds of it. Found this in relation to a scent being compared to Pint O' Stout: "In the bottle, FMB is an interesting and complex tobacco/chocolate/coffee/boozey blend. It shares a similarity to Bombshell Bath/Fyrinnae's ancient, long discontinued Pint O'Stout scent, except without POS's sharp mystery note." The writer also says it kinda smells like a 7-11 coffee bar.

Imp: The fizzy champagne hits first, followed by a bit of strawberry. Smells like actual strawberries, and not the candy version. It's only a little bit of strawberry. Most of it is very boozy booze. Wet: Slightly champagne infused strawberry, rather the other way around now. Not one to be into booze, but the strawberry being the majority on this scent is yummy. Fizzy. The other half has decided it smells like bubble bath. After a while more, it's turning back towards the champagne. Silly white grapes. Smells like white wine, brightened slightly by the strawberry. Dry: Strawberry is turning a bit more candy and fake now. The champagne is still realllyyy boozy, and in my face. Loved the real strawberry at the start, but int he end, turned too fake and winey for my liking,

Memory rewrite. Gogo accidentally closing browsers. Imp: Bubblegum! I have Eight-petaled Lotus, and that smells just nice and floral on me. This is completely different. Really fruity and juicy. Can't smell any of the Dragon's Blood Resin at this stage. Wet: Turns to super duper extra fruity juicy bubblegum. I assume the extra fruitness comes from the resin. It also makes it deeper, and a bit darker. Onomnom. The lotus starts to fall away pretty quickly, and the spicy fruitness from the resin starts to take over. Turns out, by itself, I kinda like Dragon's Blood Resin. Either that, or it is a different type than in Blood Rose. Dry: Slightly spicy fruitness. I can't smell any of the lotus anymore. Kinda nice and warm.

Imp: Mostly frankincense, but a little different. Overall, it's an incensey, almost enchantment shop smell Wet: Frankincense, frankincense, frankincense. Why do I amp you so? Seriously. Sod off for just a second, please? Dry: Washed off, as the pure frankincense was starting to hurt my head.

Imp: Reminds me of orange skin, without the juice smell, with soft raspberry along for the ride. Doesn't smell overly sweet to me, nor tangy. Just... real smelling fruit. Wet: Much the same as in the imp, except the orange smells tangy now. After a few minutes, the raspberry falls off. Dry: The raspberry hits the nose first, without being too sharp or tangy. The orange has moved away from true juicy, and is smelling a bit candyish now. Kinda wanna nom my own wrist. It is bright, and happy, without being too fake. I have another orange-raspberry scent, from another company, and this one is definitely the winner, being so nice and smooth.

Imp: Incense floral. In the same family as soapy, without the soap smell. Weird. Must be the white florals. Wet: Sage and wood, tempered by florals and musk. It slowly starts making its way closer to creamy smelling soap, but the woods and musks seem to be holding it back? Dry: 40 minutes later, and not sure with this one. It seems to have mostly disappeared. I smell some sandalwood warmth, and a bit of soapy still, but it is very soft, and disappearing fast.

Imp: Smokey and dark. Can't smell any of the honeysuckle. Wet: Honeysuckle comes out once it hits the skin. Smokey, hot honeysuckle. Ehhhh. Dry: Opium smoke and vertiver comes out. I had to wash this one off, as opium smoke is gross on me. Headachey.

Lightning, perhaps? http://www.bpal.org/topic/463-lightning/

"Death note" can also mean a note that gives you a headache (these can get pretty massive)/skin irritation, etc. Silly notes that do their best to try and kill the wearer.

I've just got a little tiny, plastic lined change purse (holds 3 bottles really snuggly, or a bunch of imps), that I throw mine in, and just sit in my carry on luggage. If I have a jumper or some such things in my bag, I'll put it in the middle of that, too. I've always found carry on full enough that my bag isn't going to do anything even mildly dangerous to any imps inside. If I put it in my check-on luggage, then they go in a snaplock bag, and then that goes snapbang in the very middle of my clothes. Haven't had any leaks, smashes or issues.

Wet salt and ozone. It smells like the ocean on a dank, overcast day after a storm, when all the seaweed is strangling the shallows. The sharpness drops off in the drydown.

All sweet floral in the imp, and bursts into super sweet prettiness when first applied. It then settles pretty quickly into floral soap, and later dries down to roses. It reminds me of the red rose I get from Whip.
