Sniffed: Slightly cloudy yellow oil. Sour, heady florals. Jasmine and ylang ylang?

Wet: Same, very evil florals, with maybe a nasty sort of resin or incense?

Dry: Yeah I get a sort of sour smoky note now which reminds me VAGUELY of Gypsy Queen, bc it has a candle/beeswax undertone.

Later: I agree with the 'green olives' someone gets. But I think ( Read more... )

Dry: The grapefruit is ( Read more... )

BPAL description: Peace, serenity, tranquility, silence.

In the bottle: Colourless clear oil. Sweet, herbal, slightly medicinal and citrusy. Lavender, melissa, eucalyptus or tea tree oil.

Wet: Even more herbal-medicinal-mentholic. It's strong tea tree. The lavender is lovely, the same as in Yvaine, though it's overwhelmed. Thyme, too.

Dry: The ( Read more... )
