Assortment idea-cinnamon oil
Bruce, do
you think it would be possible/viable to produce a cinnamon scented version of the primal oil? Because cinnamon is
one of the most pleasant smells ever and I prefer earthy smells for myself (they go well with my brown and green
clothing:).

Re: Assortment idea-cinnamon oil
Hi
Rakesh,
Thanks for the suggestion.
Coincidentally, we just ran into a bit of a crossroads with those oils and
are wondering what to do. The maker is jacking up the price quite a bit and we are wondering where to go with it.
I\'ve been toying with coming up with a nice line of Love Scent \"fer real\" essential oils, but just haven\'t
come up with anything. Now we are suddenly in a position that we have to make a decision of some sort.

Well at
any rate the musk is a bit too....musky
Cinnamon is a pleasant non-offensive smell, so...:)

Re: Assortment idea-cinnamon oil
cinnamon
and vanilla are said to be love scents... not like the site, but suposedly they affect men subconciously, makes them
more confortable, and more easily fall in love. If i can find where i read the study about this ill post it, theyre
not sure if its because of when theyre kids they connect it to baking and comfort or if its all men and maybe
affects their brains somehow... but either way it does [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Assortment idea-cinnamon oil
Yes
indeed. It works on women, too.

This study was done by Dr. Alan Hirsch. I know that Vanilla is on the list, but I am not
certain about cinnamon.
If you want cinnamon scented anything, just get yourself some cinnamon Essential Oil and
start creating. Never use cinnamon EO\'s directly on your skin. Just mix some in some carrier oil and add your
mones. Presto...your own creation. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Whilst
looking at cinnamon EO\'s, a safer choice for your skin may be to get a little pumpkin pie fragrance oil
(Camden-Gray\'s smells mainly like cinnamon to me) and add your -mones to it.

Re: Assortment idea-cinnamon oil
Perfect
idea, SRH.
Pumpkin Pie is on the list and the one from Camden Grey does smell very cinnamony.

I
can attest to that! I had a great cinnamon-vanilla oil that I bought on eBay. I thought it made me smell like a
cookie/ Maybe it did-- all the guys wanted \"a bite.\" <g>
Sad ending-- I spilled the oil, and couln\'t
find THAT particular blend, again.
-
Re: Assortment idea-cinnamon oil
My latest blend has a pronounced cinnamon quality. Actually cinnamon, anise, madarin, vanilla, amber and a hint of
light musk. It smells edible and I\'ve gotten a lot of nice feedback.
SRH-
You might like the one I have
aging right now. Lavender, clary, cypress, sandalwood, vetiver and a deep (almost animal) musk. The clary is quite
prominent while the lavender/cypress give it freshness w/ an earthy vetiver and a masculine musky foundation.
I\'ll probably start wearing it in the spring.
-
Re: Assortment idea-cinnamon oil
That does sound yummy. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Where\'d you get the musk?
-
Re: Assortment idea-cinnamon oil
Thanks. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
It\'s actually an FO made by a local
aromatherapist. She calls it \"Egyptian Musk\" and it really has an animal/savage quality to it. It\'s really
potent for an FO. I can\'t use much of it in a blend. The blend has a few other EOs I didn\'t mention and
while they really don\'t stand out, they help round it out. I wanted to focus on a few main EOs. I had to work at
it, but I was able to get the top and middle notes to persist through to the bottom. At first the top jumps out and
the base lurks in the background. It finishes just the opposite. The clary runs all the way through.
It still
needs some time to come together, but it\'s going well so far. That musk was a bugger though. Threw out my first
batch because the musk totally overpowered it.
I get my sandalwood from the same source.

I have Egyptian Musk FO. The only time where women noticably cringed near me was when I was
wearing that an amouage (dia?) as a cover.

Re: Assortment idea-cinnamon oil
Well if the version of Egytian Musk that you have is anything like what I have, then I\'m not surprised. You
applied it straight to your skin right. How much did you use?
I used like 3 drops in a 7.5 ml batch of cologne,
iirc.

Re: Assortment idea-cinnamon oil

Way too much. But it smells
good straight out of the bottle. I put on two or three dabs I\'d say. But like I said, it smells good straight
from the bottle.
I figured it was some crappy FO that wasnt to powerful.

Thanks. It\'s smells good enough to eat...or so
I\'ve been told. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I had some on the other night and this woman
couldn\'t get enough of it, she kept coming back for another whiff. I don\'t think her husband was too keen on
that though. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] I\'m sure pheros played a role. She kept trying
to figure out what it was. hehehe. She said that she couldn\'t figure out what it was, but it must be expensive.
LOL! Yeah, right! The frangrance isn\'t, but I am. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
I really
like a good amber, but I\'ve found some variability. Some are crude, for lack of a better word. The one
I\'ve been using lately is from Eden Botanicals, iirc. It\'s really nice.
