Mamacat

In the bottle: I get mostly mango from Tweedledum, with maybe a hint of green. On my skin: it doesn't change much. Juicy mango, slightly under-ripe. After a few hours: I smell a hint of patchouli in the background. A little less juicy. Still delicious, fresh and fabulous. I love Tweedledum. I wouldn't have tried it but hearing some random great reviews made me swap for an imp. My imp made me buy a bottle from the forum. My bottle is so happy to be with me! We love each other. *sigh*

Boomslang. In the bottle: spicy, rich fudge brownies On my skin: mmmm, spicy rich fudge brownies Drydown: The chocolate fades a little and the Snake Oil comes out more. But there's still enough chocolate to keep it cocoa rich. I love Boomslang. It took me by surprise. I didn't realize how much I loved it until I noticed how often I was reaching for my little decant. Then I bought a bottle and now I slather. LOVE!

Eat Me makes me hungry. I've had this imp for a while and used it a few times, forgot about it, wore other oils, tried new imps and LE's. What the hell is wrong with me??? Wet: Very cakey and kind of spicy As it dries: It somehow smells like fresh berries. Very fresh Dry: Mmmmmm . . . the cake comes back and it's spicy again with the berries. Yum. I love it. Ordering a 5ml.

Because of my inexperience when I first tried my little decant of Peony Moon (thanks Moonarana!) I thought that my skin was amping rose again. Yeah - I'm a dork. I was recently in the local greenhouse and stopped to smell the flowers - peonies. Well - then I knew that I could really smell the peonies in Peony Moon. A little bit of soft woods anchor it to my skin but it's mostly just fresh peonies in the greenhouse to me! And this time I know I'm right! I love it and I may try and hunt down a bottle.

I was positive that 13 would work on me. Just positive. The notes all sounded right. In the bottle: Yes! I knew it would be perfect! Chocolate and clovey with just a hint of green! Nice! On my skin: Within seconds of hitting my skin the clove amps up with some dusty floral joining in. Not so nice. I'll never understand my skin chemistry. I wish it smelled on me the way it promises it will it the bottle. I've already found it a good home.

I was very sure that Mama-Ji would work on me. So sure. In the decant: not bad - flowery, spicy. Let's see what happens On my skin: bad . . . real bad. Soapy potporri combined with cheap perfume. Bad skin chemistry! Already swapped to a better home!

oh shoot!!! I really wanted the lime sugar cookies! I really, really did. But on my skin chemistry Mr Nancy turned into a maple syrup candle. Why????? I wanted to love this one!

Tokyo Stomp! So good I had to buy another bottle! And I don't know if that will be enough. I love the cookie vanilla with the fresh, cool mint. My husband says, "You smell like mint chocolate chip ice cream!" and my friend says, "You know those cookies the girl guides sell? Yeah, it smells like Thin Mints." I just can't stop smelling myself and smiling! And although it lasts hours and hours on me - I still keep reapplying! It's my favorite BPAL so far.

In the bottle: I smell caramel and cardamom . . . maybe a bit of cherry. I don't get any cocoa. Wet on skin: Very cardamom with just a hint of caramel. I was a bit afraid of the caramel. A few hours later: Mmmmmmm . . . very spicy sexy. Cardamom and other spices. Overall - I love it way more than I expected. I reach for it every night before I go to bed and several times a day a open it to sniff.

When I first sniffed my imp I thought it smelled so strange. Very almond. Like super strong almond extract. I tried it anyway. It smelled slightly less almond on my skin but still pretty powerful when it was wet. When it dried down it became so sugared! The almond wasn't as strong and it was more vanilla and sugar with a hint of honey. Soooooo yummy and pretty. Fades in a couple of hours but then I just put more on and sniff away! I see why so many people love this blend. I do, too and I've already ordered a bottle to slather myself in.

I love love O! My husband literally ran up the stairs and attacked me when I wore it. He thinks it smells like sex. On me it smells all sweet and honey vanilla but the amber makes it naughty!! A little goes a long way, too. I can dot a little on from an imp and it lasts all night long. Must have a bottle.

Snake Oil doesn't seem to work on me. I'll keep the imp and try it again later. I wish I got just a little more vanilla out of it. I'm still trying some of the snake pit though!!
