Silkilocks Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Dear Mara, I just tried Sugared Cardamom today and now I am really hungry because it smells exactly like the cardamom in cooking! I was thinking it would be really yummy layered with rose, cream, and pistachio (as in the Afghani pudding dessert called firnee). I see you already have Sugared Roses and Sugared Cream. How about some Sugared Pistachio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Pistachio is a very hard oil to find! I think I have only laid my hands on some twice in my life. What you can do tho, is use pistachio flavor oil instead - you can find different types online for pastry, ice cream and candy - flavor oils may be very concentrated but they are skin safe, and you can get them in tiny bottles, like 1/8th of an ounce.

How about some Sugared Pistachio? Silkilocks you should try an ISO for "Lick Of Cream". There's no pistachio in it but the cream in that combined with the Cardamom is TDF!! A little OT for a sec... My friend had an apartment in W. Los Angeles (way back...) and there was a little market called "Rose Market". Pretty sure it was Persian owned. They had the most delicious ice cream. They had a "Saffron Pistachio", it had just a touch of Rose Water in it. Just delicious. I wonder if they are still there... Wait, was there a Pistachio in "Petit Four Your Thoughts"? That had Raspberry though, but if you'd like to try it for the Pistachio, I may have a trial you can have. If you'd like.

missdarlyncherie Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I have this Shea Butter creme by Sheaterra Organics called Namibian Marula. It smells like pistachio. What the hell is Namibian Marula! I have no idea but it's pistachio to me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Pistachio was in Petit Four, yes, and also in Insight Potion years ago. Used it all up on both of those occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The marula is a type of fruit which grows on a tree found in Namibia. So the creme must have the oil from the fruit in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearts Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Is there a review thread for Sugared Marshmallow? I received mine today. It's wearing VERY light. I had to slather a bunch to get something. Maybe my nose is broken? I'm getting lightest whiff of the smell you get when you open a bag of marshmallows. My only gripe is that I'll probably go through this fast since I can't smell much. Maybe travel shock? I'll try again in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts, this is how Marshamallow wears: It's extremely clingy and last for long hours on the skin, but it HUGS to the skin, there's no throw at all when in oil by itself, but if you sniff close to your skin it will be there all day. If you want it to throw, you need to add some to one of your sprays. No thread yet for any of the new ones I guess. I will see to it. thanks for reminding me.

StacyK Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) I'd like something watery... Bamboo doesn't sound bad. I'm thinking Blue & Water. Sugared Ocean Sugared Blue Musk (A Watery type, like in GOTBM. On a different note, I've also been thinking of Sugared Apple Blossom (for us girls that like to be squeaky clean, sometimes).

Silkilocks Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I'd love to have a sugared plums & sugared elderflower Any chance of any of those making an appearance? 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* I'd also be interested in a Sugared Plum and any Sugared Uncommon Berries (such as Elderberry, Mulberry, Dewberry, Boysenberry, Acai Berry etc).

tyvey Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) @rosebud Elderflower and lychee can be in incredibly similar (see eg St Germain liqueur).... I looooove both but was personally put off lychee as a scent due to a bad emotional association.... Maybe sugared lychee ??

Potion Master Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 I will have to look and see if I have any apple blossom left - it is very similar to cherry blossom and dogwood blossom. For Sug Baby Powder, you want Sugared Oakmoss - oakmoss is the scent of baby powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosebud Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 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? If elderberry smells like elderflower or elderflower cordial then I'm all for the berry version Spiced plum I can see that being a popular one but I'd personally rather have a proper fruity plum scent. Like plum jam or something similar to Plum exotique or Sugar plum fae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lainey Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Are these still available? I'm confused about them. They don't come in sample sizes? I want to try a lot of them but I'm saving for Pheromas and I'm having trouble NOT ordering a bunch of these, plus a few more animal totems...also stupid shipping. I hate shipping charges. *whines* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
