| It puts the lotion on it's skin. |
Autumn 2013
Persephone's Descent (perfume oil-sample-free item)
"Pomegranate, pale musk, narcissus blossom and black amber."
Hmm...definitely pomegranate. Fruity and dark. I am on the fence about this one.
Ghost Puffs (perfume oil-sample-free item)
"Buttery popcorn and marshmallow goo orbs, presented on a wooden stick."
At first sniff it is popcorn. But a sweet popcorn..think kettle corn with more butter. The die down is a creamy vanilla. I will be pairing this with some vanilla scented lotion!
Samhain (perfume oil and pumpkin butter-sample sizes)
"Freshly turned earth, wet leaves, and a cool spectre ridden wind."
In both the pumpkin butter and the oil the first scent I smell is dirt. Umm...very real dirt. When both settle on the skin it is still dirt and a strange mint smell. Not a fan of how this reacted on my skin. This will be given away.
The Horseman (perfume oil and pumpkin butter-sample sizes)
"Autumnal forest and wood, distant fire, smooth saddle leather, brown musk and the lingering scent of a dark gentleman's cologne on a black woolen coat."
This is too masculine for my taste. Well on me it is. All I smell on my skin is brand new leather and Old Spice. I have heard so many good things about this! This is another give away.
Summer 2013
Narcossa (full sized pumpkin butter)
"A thick haze of tonka and black vanilla, three jasmines, tuberose and ylang ylang."
This is my only full sized pumpkin butter because I snatched it on sale. And I do not regret it! This is so much like Nag Champa but with vanilla. The scent lasts for about seven hours on my skin and reminds me of the alt store I buy from. (where everything smells of incense.) My man says I smell like a hippie. He is not a fan but I love it.
General Catalog
Haus Amber (perfume oil and pumpkin butter-sample sizes)
"Rich and sultry - our own hand blended amber accord."
Oh yes please! Amber, vanilla, and incense! After I am done with the sample sizes I will repurchase full sizes of this! I love vanilla and things that remind me of incense. My man says I smell like a hippie when I wear this as well. Ah well..he will get over it.
Moon Dog (perfume oil and pumpkin butter-sample sizes)
"Solar storms erupt: pure cracked coconut, dry sandalwood essence, heated with nutmeg and clove."
This is not your average coconut. This does not smell of tanning oil. This is the smell of cracking open a coconut. I do not smell the nutmeg but I do get slight traces of the clove. The sandalwood is very slight. This reminds me of an island at night. Perfect for summer and fall. Full sized here I come!
Satyr (perfume oil and body emulsion-sample sizes)
"Absolutely fiendish creature! And quite frolicsome: Italian blood orange drizzled with blackened vanilla."
Yes! an orange scent I actually enjoy! At first smell this is like orange candy with deep vanilla.Then it dies down to a soft musky vanilla in the body emulsion. The orange lasts much longer in the oil version but does not smell artificial. A very grown up orange scent and a definite re purchase.
Twice is nice (perfume oil and pumpkin butter-sample sizes)
"Sweetest offerings of opulence! Buttery sugar cookie, with shavings of creamy coconut and topped with toasted almond slivers!"
I first smell almond, then on the skin I smell the sugar cookie. The coconut is barely present.This reminds me of when I would watch my mother baking cakes and cookies for Christmas.
I did receive a free sample sized perfume oil of Honey Tree but have not really worn it yet. I highly recommend buying sample sizes first due to body chemistry. And the prices of them are very cheap! (Along with everything else!) The shipping is super fast and everything is packaged so nicely. The customer service is amazing as well. I do not think I will ever go back to cheap body spray again. So are you a fan of smelly good things? Do you buy from indie/vegan companies? If not then you should be!!!
