Warm myrrh swirled with a bittersweet blend of violet, Lily of the Valley, juniper, cypress and cajeput
Well I love myrrh, like juniper and cypress and sort of hate violet. If I had to choose a violet blend, this would be it. It opens on a green note, probably the juniper, becomes powdery violet and then dries down into violet and myrrh. I really don't get any Lily of the Valley.
2.5/5

Eternal
Stephanotis, cyclamen, heliotrope, white rose and gardenia.
This is a frimp from the lab that I am completely shocked to like. I'm really usually not a floral person, and that's all this is. I have always sort of liked jasmine, though, and the stephanotis is smelling very similar. I think maybe I can smell gardenia in there, too. The rose seems subdued. Anyhow, this is a light, sweet tropical floral, which is evidently the sort of floral I've been looking for. Who knew?

Embalming Fluid
A light, pure scent: white musk, green tea, aloe and lemon.
When I first got this one, it was mostly lemon with a hint of tea. It was okay, but I put it aside and didn't really think about it again.
Then, I rediscovered it months later and dabbed some on. My mom immediately wanted to know which one I was putting on that smells like tea. She smelled the tea instantly and didn't even need a hint, like she usually does. Now I love this one. It's a perfect tea scent with a hint of lemon. I'm not one to keep a bunch of oils around waiting for them to age, but this one would be worth it.
