Comments: Like Patti I don't use much perfume, however
I do use more since I've tried the SCENTS products. I particularity
enjoy the sweet ambrette, I couldn't even tell you what it smells
like - almost primitive? The nice thing is only a bit does the trick
and I love the roll on applicator there is no spraying scent in the
air. The lemon verbena is nice an fresh, sort of like a summers day.
The earthy vetiver is just that - very earthy. Now that I've written
it down the names are most appropriate!

Comments:: I confess that I am not a big perfume
user - but I do like a subtle fragrance to some of the products I
use. So when I found out about these portable light scents, I wanted
to try them. The container is a small glass cylinder with an ingenious
roll-on applicator. The essential oil is infused into the carrier
oil and it rolls on smoothly and does not feel greasy. Convenient
and inexpensive. Great for carrying in purse, gym bag and dabbing
on for a touch up.
The preferred scent for me is the Narcistic Jasmine which is light,
sweet and flowery smelling. The Fragrant Woods is just that - woody,
spicy and a bit heavier. See Effects
of Fragrance to see the general categories of Perfumes.

Comments:: Now this little find is a 'Solid perfume",
meaning the base is made of beeswax, with drops of essential oils
added - you put it on with your finger. It comes in a nifty stone
like container that opens on a hinge - not great for travel.
Now I'm not a huge vanilla fan, but was shopping with my daughter
and she picked the vanilla - so I do plan on tying some other scents...will
keep you posted.
