It is of krishna musk smell, a slight note of sandal with very calming and endearing smell. My skin is usually sensitive to synthetic substances and R. Expo perfumes have worked well. <br />I recently tried their rose, patchouli and honey suckle. Liked them all. Patchouli is a scent that not everyone will Justin Brownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-39227169879263740162010-06-24T13:37:01.559-04:002010-06-24T13:37:01.559-04:00Brian,

It's one of the nicer ones, it smells like a pleasant soap.<br /><br />Kiehls have reissued a few oils, but even the official site only has Musk, Vanilla, Grapefruit and Coriander. I got all mine in Harrods - most many years ago, but the Amber and Gardenia last year.

When I read your first comment I thought, that sounds like the type on MY Indian oil, Aphrodesia. Yes, the pic is the one I have. I looked for it online. I also saw them in a local family owned oil/soap shop here in town--the size you mention, I think. The Aphrodesia is nice but yeah, probably synthetic.<br />Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293853110472146382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-38065677618791976102010-06-22T11:03:57.551-04:002010-06-22T11:03:57.551-04:00I wear some Amouage attars but I love Al Nabhla by...I wear some Amouage attars but I love Al Nabhla by Al Haramain .There is a shop on U.K E:Bay that sells as little as 1/2 ml if you want. I just got 3mls of a lovely jasmine and some Turkish rose .

They offer a bunch of different oils, none of which I'd smelled, so I was flying blind. Ended up ordering three Possets (Venus Black, Silver Roses, and Haute Love) and one Wiggle (Little Five Points). The winner? By far, Venus Black. I described it in another recent blog post as "liquid crack"!Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17001466492578674627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-45688640375440419852010-06-21T17:37:26.470-04:002010-06-21T17:37:26.470-04:00Don't have too many perfume oils - a couple of...Don't have too many perfume oils - a couple of Amouage (Homage and Tribute) plus a tiny red jewel bottle by a company called SAN which I don't see for sale at Luckyscent any more.

Expo. Is it a stock photo, or one of yours?<br />I tried some of them again after reading this, and I'm pretty sure they are mostly synthetic. The Rose has developed a sour note, and the Jasmine is going soapy.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16033325684252709482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-68970778340971784012010-06-20T14:59:27.675-04:002010-06-20T14:59:27.675-04:00I've been collecting oils for years, too.

But I still have a reasonable collection. There's something about oils, they seem richer, more opulent than other perfumes - even the cheap oils call to me.

Then along the way I got into essential oils, then that kinda faded, then I got bit (*hard*) by the perfume bug a little over a year ago.<br /><br />i also noticed that some of my favorites haven't had the &Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901254954146927255noreply@blogger.com
