I think I hit the nail on the head with the fragrance dupe, although Hubby asked "what's that pizza smell?" and teenaged son asked "what's that raw meat smell?"
I’m looking for a good peach! Who is OT? Thank you very much!
Oregon Trails. It is not a candy peach. To me it’s a floral peach, but my friend says it’s the best peach she has ever smelled. I think I just like candy peaches. I used it at 1.33oz per pound of oils and got moderate strength after cure, but I’m going to go to my usual 1oz per pound of oils since it does stick in CP.
@AliensrReal thank you!
That what OT's Peche De Vigne smells like to me - a fresh peach. I don't pick up the jasmine notes at all, and normally florals tend to bother me. But since @AliensrReal does smell it, I'd recommend a trial bottle. She sometimes has specials where you can get 5 trial bottles for a reasonable price. Along with the PDV, I'd recommend their Bonsai, and Sandalwood.
@AliOop thank you! Yes, florals bother me too. Sometimes I like Bulgarian Rose, but if it's too heavy I get a headache. What does Bonsai smell like? I need some fresh/fruity summer fragrances! There are all on OT?
I'm on there shopping as we speak! Thanks, I love being inspired! I've been thinking about what to do next and have been wanting to do a persimmon. I have the persimmon, but the fragrance isn't particularly strong. Summer is coming! How about a Peach Persimmon (she thinks to herself...) and off down the rabbit hole!
@MomInWA, I love the Bonsai and Mysore Sandalwood from OTS as well. I like my FOs really strong, and the OTS Bonsai is the strongest FO I have ever tested, the only one where I back down a little from 1 oz ppo in CP. I will note that it might be a love it or hate it scent, both of my sisters say that it smells too much like a commercial soap fragrance, maybe because it does have that strong extra-clean/slightly laundry-ish scent.
I totally understand what you are saying, since to me, many scents smell nothing like their description. That worsened after I had a pretty strong bout of Covid, and my sense of smell hasn't been the same since.
I think my nose has finally recovered from Covid 4 years later. Although, I was a bit perplexed by the fact that I hated WSP Yuzu. There’s some note that I just absolutely hate in it.
I really like the purple color from alkanet. Unfortunately, there is no alkanet selling in the country I'm living. Shipping abroad is very expensive. I'm trying to find a replacement. Probably some local plant that I don't know. Wish me luck
