Initial scent to me was of crushed walnuts, then a whiff of lilac and cinnamon. Buried deep is some fresh compost, smoky incense and a green herb (thyme?). I must say the spray perfume diffuses around the body better, and after wearing it for perhaps an hour, I've had orchidladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17676695059542814773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-77265470868050927652009-01-04T18:19:00.000-05:002009-01-04T18:19:00.000-05:00Brian,is there patch in Icon?

Dunno about balsamic - it may be, I'm just not sure what that is supposed to smell like.<BR/><BR/>The top notes are a tad 'biting' for me at first, as with Karma. But having just tried it again and given it some time, there's something about Icon I enjoy. It's like Karma's Goth Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16033325684252709482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-68555757821449648632008-12-31T09:27:00.000-05:002008-12-31T09:27:00.000-05:00Thanks for turning me on to Icon, Tania! I forget...Thanks for turning me on to Icon, Tania! I forget you're "over there". It sounds exactly like my cup of tea. Is it patchouli-based? Balsamic? The write-ups make it seem so. Funny you should mentioned BOG in the workplace. On my way out today I reached for it, then reconsidered, wondering if my co-workers would want that kind of epiphany first thing in the morning.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293853110472146382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-53903039713546876982008-12-31T04:40:00.000-05:002008-12-31T04:40:00.000-05:00Nice review Brian!I'm in the 'admire it but can't ...Nice review Brian!<BR/>I'm in the 'admire it but can't wear it' camp with BOG. It keeps distracting me, so I can't wear it for work, and it's a bit too strange for a night out. I do wear Exhale and Inhale sometimes, though. <BR/><BR/>I'll be interested to read your thoughts on their other scents, once you get the samples. I have either tried, or own, most of them - apart from their latest, Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16033325684252709482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-51467508865188173482008-12-30T23:14:00.000-05:002008-12-30T23:14:00.000-05:00Whoa!

Apparently, you can get samples of all of the B Never fragrances for something like 35 American dollars. It's 24 pounds, whatever that converts to, for all 10 scents. They have a cheaper sampler pack with six scents but BOG is not one of them. Shock: It isn't their bestseller.

None of the usual suspects carry it-- the perfumed court, posh peasant etcetera. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks so much!~katie.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04894156259720984724noreply@blogger.com
