I ordered some FO's from FragranceBuddy strictly based on reviews (from here and elsewhere on the web) plus a little "that sounds good" factor. These are my very first scents, so I really had no idea what to expect, just wanted something to play around with.
Opening the bottles, I have to say that they all smell like heavy incense to me rather than any soap I have ever smelled. Do scents morph after the lye gets finished with them, or do they always smell like they do in the bottle?
I know someone will ask, so here is what I got:
Coffee Bean - smells like a heavy vanilla / hazelnut flavored coffee
Patchouli Passion - smells nothing like patchouli at all
Sun And Earth - a review said it was patchouli and orange, I don't get either one
Apple Cider - this actually smells like apples and cinnamon to me, the only one of the bunch that I actually like
Did I just make some bad choices? I didn't get much of each, so I'm not out much if I hate the soaps. I'm sure I can give them to someone.
