Spiced lime FO

[Obsidian]

Has anyone used this FO? Where did you get it and how did it behave? I got a 2 oz bottle from a local soaping store so and I have no idea what vendor it originated from.
It smells amazing and I'd like to order a larger amount. Its a yellow/orange color and it does accelerate. Its reminds me of a spicy mens cologne, maybe close to bay rum but sweeter. I blended it with a creamy orange FO and its absolutely divine.

I haven't used it but it sounds delicious and perfect for spring/summer. The only one I've used is BB's lime FO which I blend with other things. That one behaves well but it sure isn't a spiced scent. I'll be very interested to hear what others have to say!

Do spicy FOs work the same as spicy EO's? I'd try blending a few with a lime FO but you have to know what notes are in the FO and what not. I souns lovely any way you slice it.

Its not your typical spice. There is no cinnamon or cloves, nothing that I can actually pin down and I don't really smell lime but there is something tart that must be it. Its a deep, kind of woodsy, tangy, sweet and oddly spicy. I'd rather buy then waste a bunch of oils trying to blend something.

I made a blend with Bay Rum and Lime Blossom and it's absolutely lovely. I never got the whole "I don't like it by itself but it's great for blending!" until then! 1 part Bay Rum 3 or 4 parts Lime Blossom. It does discolor though!

That's something. I can't think off hand what can give those notes off (I should have trained my nose for this) but that' half the fun.

Who carries the Lime Blossom, Dixie? Sounds great.

The Sage carries a spicy lime. I happen to love their fragrances although they are pricey

Yeah, I think I'll try the sage's and see if it might be the same thing. This particular store carries another FO that sounds very similar to a different sage FO, I want to try it too.
