This was my first NG order; and I have to say I'm pretty pleased overall!

I'm just hoping some of these scents will become more complex when used.

-Green Irish Tweed- Fresh and manly, you can really smell the citrus. A bit light.

-Ocean Mist- Can't smell the ocean out of the bottle; smells more floral to me and isn't very potent.

-Butterfly Meadows- My first thought... All-purpose cleaner :shock: ! But after a while it really develops in the smell of grass and flowers. A real nice and green floral!

-Cracklin' Birch- Really complex and manly, both DH and I love this one. Strong, but not overwhelming. Suitable for all ages- from teen to grandpa :wink:

-Watercress & Aloe- Fresh, but gives me a headache. I'm curious how it will develop in soap...

-Blue Agave- An upscale scent, very light and delicate.

-Lilac- This one is simply amazing; it's dead on! I don't think you'll find a more true lilac anywhere. One of my favorites :)

-Kulu Bay- Exotic, fruity and delicate. Again, a bit too light, but a real nice scent.

-Bay Rum- Very nice, you can clearly smell the pine, orange and spice. Nice and strong. A classic.

-Black linen & Amber- I'm so impressed by this one. Very layered and complex; hard to explane. It somehow smells familiar to me, but I can't quite place it... :lol: The first thing DH did

-Twigs and berries- Not at all what I was expecting. I thought it would have been a more autumny scent; but I don't smell anything woodsy at all... :? A bit dissapointing.

-Hippy Christmas- This scent would be perfect for Christmas gifts! The patchouli and sandelwood aren't overpowering; kind of toned down by the sweetness of the fruits. The peppermint does come trough strongly, but it gives this scent a really nice balance. I think even people who don't like patchouli could appreciate this one.

-Capri olivo- Subtle and citrus fresh. I like it and it would certainly fit in a more upscale line.

-Australian Bamboo- I thing this one is more manly than unisex. Very clean, but less green than I was expecting. Must be the musk. A nice scent though.

-Sweet grass- Exactly like the discription, sweet grass and wisteria. I can't understand why this scent hasn't got more revieuws; it is so well balanced and natural!

-Alyssum- Very romantic. Would be amazing in body lotion; I'd like to smell like this all day 8)

-Pikaki- Jasmine with a hint of powder. A unique floral, but a bit too light.

-Cannabis Rose. I'm dissapointed with this one; I can't smell most of the fragrance notes; just a light rose. I'm hoping it will be better when soaped... :(

-Vaniglia del Madagascar- Yummm! Vanilla, with a hint of florals and the amber is quite present. I love amber, so this scent suits me.

-Cucumber, Wasabi & Cilantro. This one deserves to be a best seller. Truly different; clean, sweet and you can still smell the cucumber real well. One of my favorites.

-Coco Mango- This smell has got so many things going on... It's hard to distinguish all the scents from the discription. Smells more like a big bowl full of vanilla and different kinds of fruit icecream from an artisan icemaker. Can't decide wether I hate or love it so far :roll:

-Sweet orange Chili Pepper. This is so much more than just orange. An explosion of citrus fruits with a hint of chili. Can't smell the musk though; but it is perfect as it is.

-Monkey farts. I assumed it would smell more like banana. The bubble gum comes trough very strongly, followed by the fruits. Smells somewhat artificial, but still nice. I think most kids would like this one :)

-Creamy coconut. Smells like Palmer's products. Both DH & me are very fond of coconut and this is the type of smell commonly used in B&B products. Not very true though.

-Sun Ripened Raspberry- Smells too much like candy; nut like true rasberry. Won't be buying this one again.

-Loving Spell (Love Spell Type)- delicious; very fruity and complex.

-Melon Mist- Tasteful blend of different lemons; at first watermelon is most dominant, but after that the other two types come through nicely too. Thumbs up for this one :D

-Bubble Gum- True pink bubblegum; our friends 4 year old girl will love this!

-Butt Naked- Fruity, but I can't smell all the fruits from the discription...

-Grapefruit, ruby red- True grapefruit, smell exactly like my grapefruit EO. But more friendly on my bank account :lol:

-Oatmeal, Milk & Honey- Real close to my own OMH I mixed with honey, almond and vanilla.

-Pumpkin Apple Butter- :D Can't wait to soap this one. I saved some pumpkin squash from Christmas when I made pumpkin cheesecake :p The spices are amazing and you can really smell the pumpkin and apple. The perfect autumn scent.

-Baby Powder- At first a very strong floral, then it mellows down to a sweet, clean and powdery scent.

-Pink Sugar- Nice and strong; can't smell the caramel, but it's very sweet with a hint of lemon.

-Baby Bee Buttermilk- Hard too discribe. Next to the fruits I can clearly smell the coconut, with a bit of vanilla and almond too. Strong, but not overpowering.

-Sea Salt Caramel- My personal favorite! I can't stop sniffing the bottle, it smells so edible :p

:D :wink: Bless my sweet husband for such a wonderful birthday gift!
