For the anti-incense crowd

[Shollin]

I've discovered through the Lab that resiny scents like incense and amber do NOT work on my skin, and I wanted to share Elizabeth's comment on Bust with anyone else with whom resins don't get along.

 

I'd asked if there was a note shared by Cathedral and Aureus, as both of them went unpleasantly sweet-sharp on me, and here's what she said:

 

Shollin, there isn't a note that both Cathedral and Aureus contain, but they are very similar in that they're resinous blends. The scents you're going to want to stay away from include anything dominated by frankincense, copal, the drier myrrhs, and amber. Extremely dry woods like cedar and rosewood are probably a no, too.

 

So there ya go. Seance has rosewood in, and it smells fantastic in the bottle, but I haven't tried it on yet - hopefully it'll behave.

Thanks! I hope the Aureus that you sent me works for me! I haven't got it yet, but I am thinking it will come tomorrow as I am home when the mail comes tomorrow!

I have that same problem with the darker musks & patchoulis.
