reviews and chatter
Whee! Second lab order in a week. I'm down to two. *g* So to celebrate, a couple of reviews and a few bpal-related tales. :)
In the bottle: This is a warm, spiced mead with a strong hint of honeysuckle.
Wet: Mead! And honey. Almost overpowering honey actually.
As it dries it becomes softer, more herbally, but it quickly turns back to mead and honey. It morphs repeatedly on my skin back and forth between the lighter more herbal scent and the strong mead/honey. I like both actually, so I'm pretty happy with it.
Okay. Wow this is one of those scents. The ones you expect to go one way, but end up completely different.
Lotus on my skin = bubblegum. But I'm a huge fan of pine resin and amber so I decided to pick up a bottle.
In the bottle: lotus, lotus and more lotus. Nothing else. It smells like bubblegum to my nose.
Wet: Bubblegum. I get the typical lotus presentation on my skin and end up taking small sniffs of it to see if it'll change.
And oh boy does it. The lotus gets tamed by the pine resin and amber and becomes this almost spicy, smokey scent that's just so sexy. I'm so amazed by this scent. I never expected lotus to smell like this. This proves yet again how amazingly talented Beth is at her craft. :D
So a few weeks ago, I gave my mother a couple of TALs - specifically Concentration and Determination. Well, tonight at dinner she told me she really wants a bottle of Concentration for herself. It's really working for her mental acuity and she's really happy to have something to give her a little bit of a nudge. So I showed her the site and while scrolling through, she stopped on the Love, Lust, and Beauty section. With a little cough, she points at Sexual Energy and she says 'you've got that one, right?' I blush and tell her I do along with Caliph's Beloved. She goes back to read that description and stops for awhile over Blessings of Isis. I continue to blush, she turns to me and says 'let's never share how well these work with each other. i don't ever want to know how well Sexual Energy or Caliph's Beloved works.' I automatically agree and reply that I never want to know how well Blessings of Isis works.
Apparently Mom and I have limits on sharing. *g*
