Fantastic! See, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Happily, I have all of next week at home, so I can keep my eye out for my parcel so it won't vanish into the depths of the local collection depot. Thank you, again and as ever, for sorting all of this out. And for the link. *glows*.

Don't. They made a factual error that might end up meaning that you lose money, they need to correct it. Their high opinion and the wonderful glowing review won't change, but the details really should be right

Looks like the link's been hyphenated as it's gone over a line-break - that's naughty of whoever edits and proofreads the magazine. It's a wonderful review though! Here's hoping it brings in just enough (but not too much!) new business for you!

Edited: Thanks for for the message Elizabeth. Oh, and I can't wait to read more about the new scents

They're beautiful, you are extremely talented

Ooh! You're very welcome

*waves* Lovely to hear from you, and so sorry that the trip isn't going well I hope that what remains of it can be restful for you.

It'll take a bit of getting used to, but everything seems to work...

This is one of my favourite scents, which appeared as a surprise sample. I'd never been a huge fan of rose scents before, finding them a little 'old-ladyish' but boy, is this different. The signature rose scent is the most obvious note, but having the resiny winey scent means that this is robust and strong. It hardly fades at all: after Christmas, I went to a live roleplaying session which was held outside around a bonfire. I'm sure you know how pungent they are! We started at about 6pm and 2 the next morning when we finishes, few drops that I'd put on were still fresh and distinctive even over the chargrill smell from the bonfire. Truly amazing. It also went very well with the game we were playing, a 1920s Cthulhu one Wish I'd ordered a bottle of this now. Oh well, next time!

This perfume converted Jef from being kind of amused at my fervour for BPAL to understanding it completely! On him it smells sophisticated, elegant and regal, and goes perfectly with a gothed-up outfit. I've ordered him a bottle for V'day ADDED June 10: I know I've already reviewed this one for when Jef wore it! But on me, this is pure seaside. None of the actual elements listed get a look in - it's sunny blue sea water with a breeze blowing over it. I can almost hear seagulls. It's rather lovely though. Makes me want to go to the beach...

*waves* Offering Jef's services here! He's a Lotus Notes expert and that would be an ideal application to use for what you want. Dead easy and very secure. We also have a server here it could live on, potentially. Drop me a line if you'd like to talk about it?

I think that's definitely the best idea. That way, there's no separate section to maintain, just a marker in the database, and I could stop Jef grumbling that he can't find things to try

That's spooky, last night my other half asked me to post exactly that suggestion on his behalf! Thank you for having me the trouble. (I've shown him the list in the FAQ, but no, he'd like to see a whole separate section for male-friendly scents.)

Woooohooo! Ahem. Sweet dreams

Thank you for all the wonderful scents... But yes, this is a brilliant community and has already become the second place I check online each day. (LJ, of course, has to be first ) Sunday morning *hugs* to everyone

Not an oil, but I find that lemon and ginger tea is excellent for quelling nausea. Even just sniffing the steam helps settle my stomach if I'm poorly. Hope you feel better soon.

From my collection, I'd recommend Absinthe (minty) or Kumiho (light and refreshing). However, most of my choices have tended towards spicy blends, so hopefully others will have more ideas.

I'm wearing this today, and I think I like it more than ever. I'm not familiar with any other holly-berry scents: Christmas for me is definitely a mulled-wine and snowy-cedars kind of scent time. So, for me this just smells sweet and rich and warming. Just what I need today, it's freezing!

I bought a 5ml of this as part of my first order, as sweet scents work well on me, and the idea of chocolate perfume was too good to miss. It did strike me as too sweet to start with, but after half an hour os so it had mellowed into a lovely rich and dark scent. I have noticed that when I wear it to the office, my colleagues hit the chocolates a lot more than normal. Perhaps it's having a subliminal effect! Me, I tend to want chocolate less when I'm wearing it
