For Strange Women

So, perfume review time! I haven't gotten to try out Astral Projection yet but I did the other 2 as well as the lip balm. I wear my samples behind each ear and on my wrists. The lip balm goes, well, on your lips. But that should be obvious. lol How I ordered was by the Mix & Match minis set.


Winter Kitty is nice but I find it's very light and has a very licorice-y scent. Of course, that's probably how it sits with my body chemistry and it may be stronger or smell different on you. You can definitely smell a light smoke/tree smell and I like that. While not a fan of this particular scent, it was nice to wear for a day. But again, it's all based on your own body chemistry and what doesn't smell very good on me may smell fantastic on you.


I just tried my Rosewood lip balm today but I love it. Not only does it have a gorgeous smell but it's also got a very light kiss of flavor as well. It reminds me of a Renaissance fair with all the smoke and oils and dry flowers in a shop. It goes on wonderfully and is super soft. I find that it sits on the skin just a little so hopefully I won't have to reapply it all the time.

According to the tube, it comes in a compostable bio-degradable tube made with 100% PCW recycled paper, printed with soy ink and is sealed with an organic adhesive. No plastic! It also contains no preservatives, petroleum, artificial coloring or flavors and they're against animal testing. Sounds like a win to me!

The ingredients include: "100% natural contents: Beeswax, cocoa butter, sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, meadowfoam oil, rosewood essential oil, vitamin E, rosemary extract, stevia extract, and mica."

Next up is Decadence & Debauchery. And man is it strong! No, seriously. I think I put too much on. Ugh... Well, before it got too strong for it, it was fantastic. I love it. It's my favorite so far. It's a very heady scent and smells of tobacco, smoke, and booze. Really. It does. But not like you're thinking. Add in some dust and the feeling you'd get walking into an old west saloon or into a Victorian bordello.

Yup. That's the scent. And it's strong. And I love it. It just seems to keep going. It was considerably too strong after I put it on so it was hard to eat breakfast. I'd watch out for anything that raises your body temperature before eating because it may come back strong again.


I think I'll order another sample box for the other 3 scents (Bollywood, Moss & Ivy, and November in the Temperate Deciduous Forest). Of course, there're other lip balms, a long list of solid perfumes, and even bath salts to try out as well. Even cologne for the menfolk.
