You've been merry and festive, and you've rung in the new year.

Yeah, yeah -- we know your resolutions: You'll exercise more, you'll be more organized and on time for work.

But what scent are you sporting? That's the important question, this January.

For me, it's a little

Bulgari Black (I love the rubber note).




and Burberry Beat (even though I'm apparently way older than its target demographic. )

The One

Valor

Valor essential oil blend helps balance electrical energies within the body, giving courage, confidence, and self-esteem. It has been found to help the body self-correct its balance and alignment, giving relief of pain. The oils in this blend empower the physical and spiritual bodies to overcome fear and opposition when facing adversity. It has been touted as a chiropractor in a bottle. It has improved scoliosis for some in as little as 30 minutes, while other individuals require several applications. Valor has also been shown to change anaerobic-mutated cells back to their aerobic state.



Valor essential oil blend contains:

Rosewood (Aniba roseodora) is soothing and nourishing to the skin. It has been researched at Weber State university for its inhibition rate against gram positive and gram negative bacterial growth. This oil is soothing, creates elasticity, and helps the skin rid itself of irritations and problems, such as candida. It is anti-infectious, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antiparasitic.

Blue Tansy (Tanacetum annuum) may help cleanse the liver and calm the lymphatic system, helping one to overcome anger and negative emotions, promoting a feeling of self-control. Its primary constituents are limonene and sesquiterpenes. European research shows that it works as an antihistamine, anti-inflammatory, and stimulant for the thymus gland, reducing dermatitis, arthritis, sciatica, tuberculosis, and allergies.

Frankincense (Boswellia carteri) is considered a holy anointing oil in the Middle East and has been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. High in sesquiterpenes, it helps stimulate the limbic part of the brain, which elevates the mind, helping to overcome stress and despair. It is used in European medicine to combat depression.

Spruce (Picea mariana) helps to open and release emotional blocks, bringing about a feeling of balance and grounding. Traditionally, spruce oil was believed to possess the frequency of prosperity. Spruce is anti-infectious, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory.

SCORE 10!

though I find almost all Ed Hardy product to be gaudy and douchey, I do like the cologne. that's the scent I'm wearing.

thready you will never guess what.

after ten years of trying to find RL Safari I now realize I no longer like it that much!!

I bought myself a little burberry weekend christmas eve
lol but you can't wear scents in hospitals so today is the first I'm trying it

well .. my absolute favorite perfume is 'Red Door' Elizabeth Arden... but I have been wearing Bath and Body's 'Warm Vanilla Sugar' for the past 5 weeks now.. georgous stuff

nothing yet.

but i want to get some calvin klein euphoria this year, and i'm looking for something that is reminiscent of chai (only in wearable form, obviously ).

I'm wearing DIRTY BOOTS, the new signature fragrance from the band Sonic Youth.

lmao we had that bottle
or I should say my sister did.
I never got perfume for christmas

OK so I am into a fragrance, but not just because it smells good.



Its made of orange, lemon, peppermint, spearmint, geranium, ginger and fennel and its quite nice.

Since I slather coconut oil all over my skin (its odorless and leaves my skin feeling like silk and has improved my skin tone) I also mix in this oil. Its enough fragrance for me. Either this one or the sweet almond oil. That one smells yummy too.

Plain ol' patchouli

or

A woodsy floral scent...

I loooove this!

funny you should ask!!

I got this for Christmas and
I really like it a lot!!

Black Sweat.

I use this alot too!

I'm not allowed to buy another perfume for many years so all my scents are the same fave is still Butterfly by Hanae Mori...

The party I went to on nye - there was a guy who smelled amazing! I had to ask him what he was wearing, he told me Joop I've smelled that before & wasn't impressed, but it was wonderful on him I wanted to hump his torso

Usually wear Issey Miyake but treated myself to Marc Jacobs Daisy...love it

I love this. But I really like looking for new ones, too. I just never can decide.

But this just got me a little bit of fun recently and I was told to get it again. I guess it did what it was supposed to.

Nothing. i developed an allergy to fragances after using that infamous Shite' 3121 perfume.

Issey Miyake
