I Feel Stupid [FYI for other Perfumistas]
I saw someone searching for Solstice Scents' Spellbound Woods...and since I wear Jojoelle's Spellbound Woods, I thought THAT was too close to be coincidence. I asked the ISOer what it was supposed to smell like, since SS's Etsy shop is down right now.
So I Googled Spellbound Woods perfume oil, and got a LOT of various handmade perfumers and Etsy shops selling all kinds of this, all with the very SAME description of the scent.
With some work, I found THIS RESOURCE that I recommend you bookmark:
http://www.fragranceoilfinder.com/catalog/index.php
You can go to the Fragrances tab and look up whatever scent you like, either by note or 'name' a la 'Spellbound Woods'. What you find in this case is, the current main supplier of that fragrance oil is Bramble Berry Soaps.
From now on, I'm going to be going to this database and checking out ANY perfume I'm considering buying, because if it's a buy-and-dilute fragrance oil like 'Spellbound Woods' or 'Blackberry Sage' or whatever, I won't buy the more expensive re-packaged stuff from ambitious perfumers! Egads!
I knew this kind of thing went on (I knew places like Conjure Oils and even BPAL gets accused of this now and again), but to find the database where they spell it out for you is just...I mean, think of the money we all could have saved!!!!!
