Banishing Moon

Recommended Posts

Wet: All I can smell is the Almond

Drydown: The almond is almost completely gone and I get mostle sandalwood and cinnamon with the lavendar far off in the background.

Very nice.

 

ETA: This is definitely a unisex scent.

Okay, tried this one yesterday and REALLY like it. It is a unisex-ish scent. The lavender is kind of amping, but the cinnamon and almond create a nice undertone--spicy, almost carnationish. Combine that with Danna's working and I'm very glad I ordered two bottles of this.

I really like Banishing Moon. It smells good. It made me feel really positive and clear headed which I think is the intent. It alo reminds me alittle of Flower of the Beast although the only ingredient they have in common is sandlewood. I'm going to buy a full sized bottle and pair it with FOTB which I should be receiving sometime next week.

This I bought for DH, as it has a lot of good notes for him. He was also interested in the intent.

Tried it out last night and it is VERY nice - different form his usual woody or green favorites. An optimistic scent...

 

He wore it today for a meeting and to help steer his day in the right direction.

I bought this one more for the intent than the scent, and like Countesszero said, I felt positive and clear-headed wearing it. As for the scent, I think the sandalwood was prominent for me, though there was a spiciness . . . I just couldn't sort it out well from the wafts of scent that I got throughout the day. This one has good throw on me -- I felt as though I was enveloped in a soft cloud of protection. I don't now how the situation that I wore this potion for will be resolved, but I'm confident that it WILL be resolved and in a way that benefits all who are involved.

I didnt expect this to be a good scent for me but I love it!

 

The scent notes blend so well together and sit warm and spicy on my skin. I definetly find this to have a masculine side to it and I love how the lavender just peaks through.

 

I want more. :)

I got a sample of this in my last order.....think I may need more....wet, I get almond, with a slight hint of lavender. As it dries, the spiciness and sandalwood start to come out more. I like this!!

I just got a bottle of this today, and I love it! Its a gorgeous blend of the sweet and spicy, but not too overpowering from either. Something I could wear every day if I wanted to. I want more!

I got a sniffee of this and I loves it! I love all things almond so no surprise there, but I am thrilled with how incredibly well blended this is. The sandlewood does not go soapy on me which it does all too often and I love the little tease of lavender. So smooth. I need moar. I have got lots to banish too, so good timing.

I can totally see the appeal of this --

 

the almond at the beginning is very authentic but an even better version of real almonds, more HEADY, warm and sweet;

 

I love cinnamon and lavender, which flirt about spicily;

 

it's giving me a very upbeat, Mary Tyler Moore / Laverne & Shirley Theme Songs, "I CAN DO ANYTHING, EVERYONE GET OUTTA MY WAY (but with a big smile), LOOK OUT WORLD!" kind of feeling;

 

...and yet ... it so isn't me ... I can almost physically feel it and me repelling each other like oil and water. I think it's the sandalwood which I fear will never be my friend.

 

It really is VERY lovely- I'm surprised there isn't more of a clamor over it especially for the many who get along just fine with sandalwood....

This is one of the few of DHs scents that I sneak over and perform snipe-a-swipe on. I am not an almond girl, and sandalwood usually repels me, but this one is so very different, and so strong and empowering, that I wear it myself occasionally.

 

On DH it is absolutely gorgeous - warm adn strong and almost vibrational.

 

And the label is so very phallic.

 

I too am surprised that it doesn't get more press. It's just soo...unusual...I can't find a better word.

I bought this for the intent rather than the scent... but that said, I get a warm almond (spicy?) and a tiny bit of lavender, not strong at all.

 

The scent doesn't really last on my skin for some reason, but no big deal, I got the vial for candle use anyway.

 

Intent use: I wanted to see if it can help me with losing a bit of fat weight, and I specified I wanted to do it through healthier eating and exercise (I was afraid asking for weight loss = getting sick and losing weight that way). Not sure what is happening so far, but I'll update if I see any good effects.

I always do the same thing! It's that "be careful what you wish for" thing. You don't want to simply ask to lose 20 pounds and then lose a limb. Sorry, if that was too dark. :lol: Wishing you the best of success!

I always specify- can I lose weight and not lose limb or boobs or hair.
