maiea Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Just wondering if you guys have suggestions on what to pair sugared dragons blood with. It's smoky and incense-y, but a bit much on it's own for me. I like it in some perfumes I think but had no idea how strong it would be on it's own. I feel the need to temper the smokiness a bit. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 You can blend it with other resins to round it out, soften it with vanilla and/or musk, sweeten it with Br Sug Pecan or add fruits and berries on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Mara! I tried some LP on it and it smells good, but I think I want to try it with some vanilla from your suggestions. Is any type of vanilla better than another?

Potion Master Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 It should blend with any of them, really! Go with your personal taste. Try some fruits too if you have any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveStruck Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 So... Where are we on the smoke discussion? Are there different kinds of smoke or would this be a bonfire/allumette smoke with little sugar... Or paired differently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there different kinds of smoke or would this be a bonfire/allumette smoke with little sugar... Or paired differently? Someone just ordered it, so I'm making it. I have a handful of different smoke accords. I'm going to do what I always do, blend them all together to get the most rounded perfect single note, and then soften it with sugars. In this case, to keep it away from the Bonfire type scent, I will probably just go with white and powdered sugars so it doesn't come off as syrupy.

Potion Master Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 I just got talked into pure Sugared Marshmallow. It will have to be shaken just like Bonfire though! Just FYI!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potion Master Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 What kinds of sugars will it have? Just a little powdered white sugar, as the Marshmallow root oils already have a lot of natural sugar. After it dries down you get to the "true" marshmallow scent and it lasts for HOURS on the skin, but stays very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StacyK Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Grrr I'm trying to decide between Sugared Sweet Pea or Wisteria... any one have a suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Grrr I'm trying to decide between Sugared Sweet Pea or Wisteria... any one have a suggestion? They are so completely different! Sweet Pea is natural, greeny fresh and carefree. Perfect for casual, youthful and 'nature girl' blends. Wisteria is lush. elegant and grown up. The former is shorts and jeans, the latter is little black dress and heels. Just my opinion tho! Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Just for the sake of curiosity, here are the best sellers so far! 1) Grapefruit, Pink Musk 2) Birthday Cake, Bonfire 3) Egyptian Musk, Vanilla Velvet 4) Cream, White Musk 5) Apricot, Coconut 6) Cocoa Butter, Warm Milk & Sugar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that help? Thanks Mara! I want both. This may been covered but I have 19 bottles counting my two larger (1/3 Pineapple & Fudge) and the others the 1/6 size. Can that count as 2 sets of 10 (to get the bonus in the smaller sizes). Just thought I'd ask. I do understand if that's not workable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 The offer is buy 10, get two free. The free bottles will match the size of the ones purchased. If you only purchase 2 10ml and the rest 5 ml, your freebies will be the 5ml size. You also get the sale freebies with the offer, while the sale is on. It's a generous offer. It doesn't make sense to purchase one bottle less and lose out on 2 free bottles. You could swap the larger for smaller, to make the ten, and then get the freebies of repeats, so you would still end up with 10 ml of the ones you wanted in 10 ml size.

maiea Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Mara, quick question, what vanilla is in fuzzy wuzzy? It's very sweet smelling. I tried layering sugared dragon's blood on FW and really like it. It took the sweetness down and tempered the edge off dragon's blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I have elder flower, but I def have elderberry. Plum is difficult, most plum oils offered have a degree of spice in them and they are only offered seasonally. Any interest in a spiced plum or elderberry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Ooooh bushels of berries to request, y'all, c'mon now! Besides the aforementioned elderberry there's also Acai Berry, Boysenberry, Mulberry, Dewberry and Cranberry. Doesn't Sugared Boysenberry sound like A Thing You Need In Your Life? *pokes everyone with a stick* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beach Goddess Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Baby is sooo adorable!! I will get to sugars soon - have so many on my list. Sugared marshmellow - omg that is so great - the few scents I have with marshmellow in them really give them a softer 'aura'. Which makes sense.

I have well over a hundred vanilla oils. It was a mixture of them, and no, not the non-foody type, it's closer to the "true" vanilla type in Sugared Vanilla.

It's on my list to get...the non foody vanilla is one of the only perfume notes that gives me a headache (since I was young)..this makes me very happy!!!!
