I can't play with harimise, darn it....it sounds yummy. But rose geranium is a pretty violent allergen for me. The second one sounds terrific, too; i am a sucker for gardenia and musk.

I think I'm going to have to try it again at a later date and really slather it but I'll wait (since I have only a half imp, and friends who still have to try it). I liked what I smelled but so, so faint. (I do like musks, but white musk can sometimes be tricky for me.)

Harimise is all buttery chestnut now, hanging on even hours later.

I'll just sit here and be envious, lol; knowing my luck, I'd be allergic to chesnut, too! Enjoy it for me ok?

Will do! I'm allergic to a lot of pollens myself (especially tree and grasses) but fortunately essential oils rarely set me off. Alcohols and aldehydes in most commercial perfumes will get me every time, too.
