Hey all,
At this year's Burn I kept smelling the same incredibly intoxicating scent on people. The only way I can describe it is that it reminded me of amber and benzoin. Kinda had that same heady, make-you-hungry, simultaneously-sweet-and-musky quality... A little floral, but only in that mildly spicy tigerlilly way. I think it's probably some kind of resin. Smelled it most @ Cyphertown, Entheon, and Nexus... I know scents seem to come and go in popularity, (kinda like Palo Santo is dominating the incense/smudging market right now...), so I'm hoping one of you lovely scent-aholics will be able to clue me in to what this delicious mystery scent is!
Thanks!!!

Re: The scent of the Burn
Mon, September 15, 2008 - 1:11 AMDoubt if it was mine, but I did gift a decent sized spray bottle of my Cardamon Kiss to a new friend in the areas you mentioned... no amber or benzoin... but spicy & sweetish (and I don't mean Swedish!) ;)
Other than that, since the burn, I've been thinking of mixing with whiskey or bourbon instead of grain alcohol or vodka, to get a smokier wood scent - has anyone been mixing with this?
I have some of the Palo Santo oil, but I much prefer it burned as incense... -

That sounds amazing. Let me know how it works out... -

'just thought I'd mention it -
