I will use whatever dish soap or hand soap isn't giving me a headache and combine that with baking soda and scrub gently. If there is still a scent left over, I will firmly wipe with alcohol and a cotton ball. But I try not to scrub too much because then my skin gets all irritated. If that doesn't take it off, I make sure I keep my wrists away from my head and often under a blanket until the headache goes away.

In the bottle this was all dry cocoa, and I was a little doubtful about how it would work as a skin scent. Then I put it on and the amber amped way up, with just a hint of cocoa poking through. It is so wearable for me, and I can't wait to see what the hubby thinks when he gets home.

In the bottle this smells just like a florist's shop. Then when I put it on it really blooms and smells lovely. I had a two minute scary patch where it smelt a little rotten, but it came back out of that to a gorgeous true rose smell that is not cloying like an English rose. It's just lovely and sweet, and perfect.

I use this on my eye pillow when I drift off to sleep, so it doesn't morph at all. I smell lavender, rosemary, and possibly basil in it. While it is sort of an odd combination, I find it very pleasing. It doesn't help me remember my dreams, but i do sleep very soundly when I use it.

On me this turned into lily/plum cologne from hell.

Zombi rocks my world.

This smells like Snake Oil to me. Everything smells like something else today. So weird.

I don't know if it is because i am obsessed with Katrina Van Tassel right now, but this smells so much like it to me. Maybe just a touch less lush, and a touch more herbal. i love it. Edited to add that it has faded fast to the herbal note i smelled before. I still like it, but it may be a scent locket scent due to lack of staying power.

Bottle: spicy cherry Wet: Definitely cherry cola, with a spicy kick Dry: The verbena and cardamom come out a lot more to balance the sweetness of the cherry and cassis. This is the first bland I've ever been able to pick out all the notes in! I feel so proud of my sniffer! I don't know if this will give me a headache, but it's definitely getting another try!

Sadly, All I smell is "zestfully clean". Poop.

Imp: Well that smells plesant enough, slightly churchy, but not too much so Wet: Oh! I smell like a lush store! Which makes sense, since there is an orchid/vanilla bath thing, I think. do i want to smell like a Lush store? Dry: Yeah i do. I definitely could like smelling like a /lush store. This a very comforting scent and is worth a full trial instead of the itty bitty dot on the hand.

My mailman was late, but he just came with my precious oils and I had to break open Kat and smell her first and I love her. She is everything I wanted Alice to be, and she just blew Alice off my favorites because she will never compare to Kat. I am blown away with the perfection of the rose and cream and honey all loving on me, with no powder, soap, foodiness... anf she reminds me of my first job at a coffee house. I don't know why, but she does. Must order more Kat. Maybe two more.

Ave Maria Imp: smells like a new age shop. Wet: lemony, with a hint of baby wipe. But better than that makes it sound. Something in it is quite biting though. Random association: Lionel Ritchie "All Night Long" Also the shop at my childhood Catholic church where you could buy rosaries and prayer cards. I think this is the rosewood. Dry: gone a bit powdery. Despite the very interesting word association and memory tour it has taken me on, I can't see myself wanting to smell like this. I might keep it around for the trippy memory factor though. Wow. Is that Dr. Lieberman's office I smell? Maybe it reminds me of my mother or something. THAT'S what it is. It's gone a bit White Shoulders on me and that's what my mom wore when I was little. I searched the thread, and i see someone else was reminded of White Shoulders too!

A haiku for Snake Oil: I put you on then regret it for the next hour then love you again

in the imp: Definitely a sweet juiciness Wet: Oh I'm digging this. It might be a juicy one that will work for me. I'm getting a white wine/champagne sort of smell which keeps the fruity smell from being too fruity Dry: This is a fruity blend I can get behind! I think it may go on the 5ml wishlist!
