Onyx

Thank you so much @Potion Master! I appreciate your reminder about the ventilation too!

@Amanda: I have yet to do a review of the OCCOs but I've tried them all now. Sandal Musk does have that lovely musk on dry down! I think you'll like it!

@Potion Master: Thank you for the safety information to not burn these on top of a candle or fire! That’s very helpful. Speaking of safety, I have a question about the wax melts: are any/all of them okay to burn around babies or children? Thank you!

@Amanda will do so! I have my trials now! Going through them slowly this time haha. I usually try all of them on Day 0!

I wonder how it ages too!

You're very judicious with how you wear them! I'm a slatherer haha. You have a good point though! I haven't tried it yet but I'm very excited to do so. If I really like it and a virgin version came out, I'd be interested in a spray. I really like creamsicle scents and flavours! I'm also curious how you would compare it to your Private Edition.

I'm guessing @Kayla got at least 5 bottles of Orange Droolious! 🤔🪔🍊🧡😋

I was inspired to finally write a review for this by @Mila posting that she wore this yesterday. I received this and some other samples on November 7 last year, so there's been some time to rest. To be honest, I only got a trial of this because the lady in the label is gorgeous! Her three-quarter profile reminds me of Liv Tyler's. After sniffing all the trials though, I think this is my favourite out of all the samples in that set. Raspberry Chiffon reminds me of raspberry cupcakes with raspberry filling. I'm also getting lemon as if there's lemon zest interspersed in the crumb of the cupcake. It's subtle but delicious! 🧁🍋 I just had Mr. Onyx sniff this from my chest and he said, "Oh this one's nice. I like this. It reminds me of something flowery. (He mentions one of his grandmas.) Like a honeysuckle. *Sniffs again* Oh there's some fruit there too. Like a light apple. And cinnamon." 💐🍎🥧 He didn't quite pick out the notes but he really likes it. I asked him why he mentioned one of his grandmas and he said the scent reminds him of her, like something that she might wear around the house. I think the apple and cinnamon are probably from his association with her making really good fresh apple pies and how her fragrance and the scent of what she baked would linger around her. She also had a nice garden with fragrant flowers. It was like a meadow really. I don't know if she'll have the same scent about her nowadays since she no longer lives in the same house, but if I remember, I might sniff her! 🌬️👵🏻🍎🥧💐🏡 Overall, we're both fans of this one! Oh and @citrine, my skin eats this one up too. I experienced the same when I would put it on my arms. It's very nice but goes away quickly. That's why I put it on my chest because I wanted it to get on my clothing and stay that way. It's been almost 12 hours and I could still smell it from my shirt! 💗

Okay, I've fallen off the review wagon for the past several weeks but I'm sort of getting back to it now. I think I got my sample back on September 30 last year, so there was a lot of time to rest. I did travel with it some around Autumn time and I've tested it here and there. This is really potent. A little dab goes a long way. I was surprised because I expected this to be a sheer, clean scent. I keep making the mistake of swiping a lot and getting so overwhelmed that I usually wash it off. I found it pretty hard to appreciate because of that so I kept letting it rest. Sometime last year though, I decided to swipe this (along with other scents) on little pieces of paper towel. I just left them alone and sniffed them throughout the day. I really liked this on the paper towel after a day went by. It was such a big contrast to being on my skin. In terms of scent, Sneaky Clean reminds me of the following, some of which were already mentioned by previous reviewers: 🧼 Dove Original Beauty Bar - We travelled last year and this was a soap in one of the places we stayed at. I didn't sniff them side by side, but the soap's smell is very similar to this on wet application. 💮 Body Fantasies: Fresh White Musk - Just for the dry down part. I think I need to hunt this fragrance down because I'm just relying on memory. 🧺 Freshly-laundered towels - Certain laundry soaps smell like this. I cannot give a brand name or specific scent, but towels seem to capture this scent very well. 🪟 Certain fragrances along the lines of fresh linen, fresh laundry, etc. - It's been years but I think Clean has something that smells similar. It might be Warm Cotton or Fresh Laundry. It could even be The Original scent. 🪞 My grandmother's vanity - I'm not sure why. She's a Chanel N°5 lady. From what I recall, she used lotion and oils too. Perhaps it's the overall scent of everything that smells similar to this. Although, since Mara identified that this has the same musk as Amanda's Beach Sol, and that one also gave me nostalgic vibes from my grandmother's vanity, I think it might be the musk that I'm getting. Overall, I'm not really into its scent when wet, but I really, really like the dry down. Because of that, I tried this yesterday night on my chest instead of on my arm. That worked out very well because my shirt captured the scent especially the sweet musk that I really like. It's actually still on my shirt right now and it's been around 24 hours, which means I should probably shower now lol! I also asked Mr. Onyx to sniff this from my chest. He said, "It smells like public bathroom soap." I almost rolled my eyes because he's said that for other scents too and also because I thought he might just be picking up the seaweed again because I just washed my hands with Mermaid Soup. He said, "But the bougie kind of public bathroom soap." I still think it's the scrub he was smelling since for him, the scent of Mermaid Soup upgrades from "public bathroom soap" to "hotel soap" on my skin. I might just need to try this again with him. 😆

I had a feeling about that one but I thought it only had Egyptian Musk! I changed my Sandal Musk to a trial at the last minute! Lol! Well if I end up really liking it hopefully there will still be some bottles left haha. Thank you @Potion Master! 😊

You are right, it is foodie! It's one of those scents I did not expect to like even though the description is something I would be interested in. Same, @Mila! I think I left my cart open for two nights. It's funny actually. I was thinking of you because I just finished my order five minutes ago! I ended up getting at least trials of all the OCCOs with some bottles. I got all the wax melts I requested and picked up some others that sounded good to me. Now I need to find out whether we donated our tea candles or if we still have them somewhere! 😅

@Mila you've got me so conflicted! I wanted to skip on some of the foodie scents but now I'm reconsidering! I keep changing my cart contents. 😅 I was initially interested in Kashmir but I saw that it's unisex. I'm not sure if I'll like it, but then again, Savage Beast is also unisex and it's one of my favourites.

@Potion Master: Thank you, Mara! This made me swipe Sneaky Clean to see if I can detect it! Now I'm watching out for Indian attars. Is it in any of the new OCCOs? Like Honeyed Oud or Paradise?

@Potion Master: I'm asking while this is still relatively recent: what kind of musk was in this fragrance? I think this is my favourite musk so far.

I'm curious what everyone else is getting! I was initially planning to get a sampler set for all the OCCOs but with the wax melts release, I'm trimming down my list. I really enjoy foodie and fruity scents so I am looking at: Orange Droolious and Blue Apple. But I also like being surprised by delicious skin scents so I am also considering at least getting trials of Sandal Musk and Paradise. For wax melts, I'll be getting those I requested that Mara kindly made: Buttercream Lemon, Love Potion: Pink, and Rose Cookies. I'm also picking up some others like Orange Droolious and Pink Candy Apple. I am very excited to try all of these but I have yet to place my order! 😅
