Since there was no tester available and a lot of people was waiting on line at the cash, I opted for blindly buy it. In the end, as an obsessed and addicted collector, I'd have bought it anyway. The package is the same as the other three, both the box and the bottle have a distinctive bright gold-like color. In case you missed it, brass is a metallic alloy that is made of copper and zinc,...

with a capful of Ariel Washing Liquid, which has top stain-fighting power, and when you hang them outside to dry the gentle summer breeze will carry the fresh, clean smell right to your nose.Summer is finally here, so go outside, colorize and glamourize your days and nights- let's hope it's a good one!Have fun...

soil, or dry sandalwood, or scented rosewood, or better like tobacco, the fresh stuff though, not the chemical-laden weirdness in cigarettes.Since I've never used nor smelt the Cannabis or Marijuana before in my life, I've no idea how much this scent is closely akin to a joint... Yet it smells so good and relaxing, it is really amazing and suitable for this incoming summer. Very...

assume a watery facet, so cool and so refreshing. It's drydown is mossy, with oakmoss and amber keeping it clean but muddy with just enough warmth. It's masculine, sensual, green and very smooth.This may be considered for younger guys but I am in my 50s and enjoy it very much. It is an all-around good green splash that seldom if ever disappoints and always gets compliments....

which slowly melts with the pencil sharpener vibe of the inky vetiver. Right off the bat, Legend Iron is seemingly inspired by Lalique Encre Noire, not meaning it is an uncanny clone, yet they share the same vibe.Dark CopperFor this scent, the box is colored in shade of green, which reminds the old copper, and the bottle is a transparent light green glass. The scent...

a year later. On impulse, I searched the Internet for My Exclusive Collection news. There it was. The samples would be unveiled in Versailles on March 21, just ten days away,Talk about breathless excitement. I searched for and wrote to the general email address, to whit (translated from French):Good day, ladies and gentlemen. I beg your pardon that I don't speak French well. I am a big fan of Jean-Paul...

let me tell you about the soap. Made of mostly tallow (suet here) and also olive oil, Castiles are harder than Copra-Olives, the last batch I made. A Castile's bubbles are smaller and create a denser foam, but Castile has always been considered a stately soap. The added avocado makes this batch good for sensitive skin. This morning I bathed and washed my hair in it. No complaints. It is less outrageously...

explicitly, such as the Baghavad Gita & such-like, but also the more ferocious Abrahamic texts, and ^even^ the dæmonological adjuncts to those. And, yes! in quantum mechanics! The zen-like state-of-mind is referenced ^all over the place^, as one may see if one look-out - or ^not^ look-out in good zen-like fashion. Why is perfume such an expensive accesory? Why is there so much disagreement about such...

spoon leaves a visible trail. This soap traced in seven unbelievable minutes so the temperatures must have been perfect. Seven. Almost instantly the texture was beautiful as if it knew costly scents were about to be stirred in and it couldn't wait. I barely had time to scent it and pour it in the mold before hardening began. IOW, this one was easy as pie.I used a full oz of my ScentFan...

to come even before the storm has reached. No flower has an aroma with such reach. The scientists call it "petrichor" (the pleasant smell that accompanies the first rain after a dry spell) purely so they had a word for it. It comes from the Greek "petros," meaning "stone," and "ichor," the golden blood of the gods in Greek mythology.CK Euphoria smells like spring's storm and John Varvatos Artisan...

not sampled every single one of the Jovoy lineup but I have these five and love these fragrances. Jovoy is a French Niche Perfume house from Paris. The name Jovoy comes from Blanche Arvoy who was nicknamed Jo. So the words Jo and Voy from Arvoy are combined to create the name Jovoy. Jovoy is an old perfume house resurrected in the late 2000s by Francois Henin. I first discovered Jovoy 4 years and immediately...

and led to my second blind buy - Birch Tar oil. Papillon smell and feel like they have a high percentage of essential oils in the mix so my guess for the smokey undercurrent in Salome is Birch Tar. I had read descriptions of Birch Tar, thought it sounded similar to the rich dry smell of an old well used pipe I get in Salome, so bought some for test.Birch Tar is powerful stuff. The smell is sweet and smokey reminding...
