Wow, these are fantastic. :) Wish my nose was as good as yours is.

Thanks!

I cheat. It's much easier to pick out notes when you're looking at the description and hunting for a given scent. Much harder to sniff blind, without checking the list! I'm slowly getting better at the second.

I love your reviews. I hope you end up posting a lot more. :)

thanks, sugar! Not much work here this week, so lots of LJ time.

"I don't know how you can make a "cream" essential oil,..."

You can't. Cream and milk notes, like quite a few others, can only be perfume oils, not essential oils. Essential oils are the pure essence of a plant part.

None of the chocolate blends really work for me either. On my daughter, however, they smell divine, like all foody scents do on her. Wench. :P

P & T is the only CD that worked for me. I get a wonderful cedary-spicy rose that works like no other rose blend I've tried so far from bpal. Your skin chemistry may vary and all that. Cedar seems to like me in general and Tombstone was one of my first loves.

I think labdanum may be the culprit here. And my skin chemistry is bizarre. The best BPAL rose so far has been a two-year-old imp of Black Rose.
