What a nightmare... I'll miss the archive On the upside, can someone load some of the bath and body on there? I'd love to have an easy way to purchase the soaps, scrubs, etc. What was that new thing, Aphrodesia? That too, if there's any left.

Like Halo, this doesn't come across as blueberry on me. It's a sweet, tangy, almost fruity scent. What it REALLY reminds me of is Playdate, although they don't have any of the same notes, lol.

Ahh, that makes sense...

"A gooey honey heart of wildflower and orange blossom varieties plus densely luscious honeycomb, with a fairy floss swirl of two types of glittery sweet pink sugar, slathered on a voluptuous base of animalic and exotic dark musks blended with the warm polish of boxwood and spruce." (sorry, this part of the description always helps me way more than just a list of generic notes) I don't know why I never got a bottle of this. It is so pretty.. It's pure pink honey on me. A little dirty when first applied, but it dries down to a sweet, pink honey scent. I never get the spruce. Maybe the woods are contributing to the smoothness of the scent? I can't pick them out though.

I think so, as long as you put them on where they will "bloom". I usually do my cleavage, back and front of neck, and wrists/elbows

I've had reactions from coworkers when I wear a strong scent, usually a resin-based one. Even oil-based scents can be strong. I try to use small dots of scent, and wear it around the house for a little bit while I get ready. Then I can add more, if I think I need to.

This is GORGEOUS!!! I tested it the other night, but it was late and I fell asleep, lol. I put it on today, and at first I was worried, because on application, the honey was pretty dirty.. but after drydown, I get the velvety, dark orchid and a honeyed vanilla. I can't pick out the tuberose. Or the amber, really. It's definitely sexy, but I don't feel out of place here at work.

Welcome!! Glad you're joining us What about Gotcha??

Those are my 3 faves from this month!! I NEED a FB of Cacao Amor. And I want a FB of Balm Bomb, because for some reason, I have trouble reaching for Beautiful Dreamer when I need it. It just seems too bed-timey, when sometimes I want mainly calming yumminess.

Yesssss!!!!

Oh perfect!! That's how I like saying it! LOL

Can someone point me back to the place where Mara explained how to pronounce Aja? LOL I'm saying it all sorts of ways in my head. A-jah. A-zha.

Welcome!!

"rich velvety vanilla, warm milk and warm bread accords, drizzled with thick honey and given a splash of sparkling lemon, all on a base of warm resins" At first this smelled like warm lemon tea with milk. Very cozy and comforting. Later I get more of the bread, honey and vanilla. I always have good results with BI, I will report back on that part later ?

Please mark me down for one, then

I'm not the biggest gardenia fan... and the gardenia is very prominent in the beginning. But after it dries down a bit, the other notes come forward and it has a very cool feel to it, and is much softer.

I don't know if I've ever tried one... but it sounds amazing!

Eeks, I'm gonna go broke this month, lol In addition to my Smoked Ham, please reserve for me: itty set sugar scrub and maybe the Lady Macbeth one.... do I need that one, Mara?

Oh good, I was just going to ask about prices for the B&B stuff ETA: Oh holy crap - I just saw the rebrew of Smoked HAM - please save one of those for me!!!!! I've been hoarding my 4 little sniffees for years, lol

Will there be an itty set for PEs???

*dies* Cotton Candy Peach?? I don't even like peach that much, and I want this!! Anti-Piggy redux? Yes, please! Cacao Amor? Is that like Chocolate Orchid?!? *dies again* Cherry Blossom Musk? NEED! Blue Musk?!? OMG, my poor wallet... Dying to know more about Whiskers & Tails!!!! Magic sidewalk poetry - I can't wait to get up there!!!!!

Briefly re: Lace. When Lace is in a photo-enhanced perfume, I am fine with it. I don't get "ditzy" unless I use the UN.

Yes, DD!! I wore this one yesterday, and the flowers were prominent at first. But it dried down to a really sweet (as in innocent, not sugary) floral with the tea swirling around underneath.

I don't have much to add, but just wanted to say Good Luck!!!

I was too scared to take my big bottles with me - I wish I would have had your little sprays back then!! I mostly took samples that had pheros in them, and I didn't have any with Topper or DHEAS. I relied on stuff with OW and Levitation for social. I didn't take much with EST, because I went with my b/f, who reacts better to a more dominant phero signature. Good luck, though!! You're going to have so much fun!!
