Mine arrived as well!
These are all right from the bottle.
Oatmeal Milk+Honey: It was described as sweet. Luckily it wasn't overly so. I've been hunting for a good plain milk scent, and this one is subtle. The honey isnt overly sweet and is reminiscent of shea butter.....which I love. It isn't terribly strong.
Nagachampa: Dead on dupe for the incense. Strong.
Tuscan Tobacco: Very mild, not full bodied. Weak.
Marseille Fig: A lovely green fig scent. Strong.
Leather&Lace: Predominantly leather, but a nice one. Background is soft.
Asian Fig: Quite soapy but pleasant
Coconut: Fresh cracked coconut is accurate. Not sickly sweet.
Grass: Fresh cut grass, a hint of crushed ferns. Fantastic.
Lemongrass&Sage: Smells a bit like lemonheads candy, sage is faint.
Magnolia: Truly lovely Mag scent.
Ocean: Less salty, very spa day. I like it a lot.
White Fig: Hands down, the best fig scent of the 4 I ordered. Very green, and a dang close dupe for Diptyque's Philosykos.
Turkish Fig: not bad, I dont detect pear or apple, ut perhaps a bit of lemon?
Sage: strong, nice scent
Sandalwood: Why does this smell so much like peanutbutter??
Chamomile: A bit like industrial cleaner.
Patchouli: Strong and camphorous
Wisteria: Smells exactly like johnson and johnson's baby shampoo. Like, identical.
Rose: Smells like a strong rose, a bit generic, not sweet.
Fig Tree: Smells like a pina colada
Jasmine: Indolic, sweet and veering close to urinal cakes.
Lemon: Candied lemon. Foo.
Cranberry: Grape hubba bubba bubble gum
Clove: nice strong clove, background of cinnamon
Cinnamon Sticks: Red hots.
Overall, Im into it, but lets see how they do in wax eh?

I think I know why I don't often see Indigo Fragrance reviewed.
I have tried 4 times to purchase from them. Every single time that I have tried, it empties My cart. There are around 20 scents that I want, and yet I can't. I am utterly flabbergasted. Ive even tried making an account, hoping it would save my cart. I cant find anywhere to make one.

I have a shipment notice!

@GailC Hehe, looks like. I am rather obsessed with perfume, which is how I wound up with candles. I love playing with fragrance, I have a list of scents Im trying to create. I lean heavily towards woods (but not pine or cedar) I love honey scents, but I dislike most sweet scents. Im hoping one of those figs is a "green" fig. I haven't actually sold anything yet, but I look forward to it once I get My recipes satisfactory
I haven't used AAA, but like you I can hardly turn down a deal like that.
Have you tried any from Indigo? I have a list of things I want from there, but the darn site keeps crashing!

ISO FO to keep me from buying Versace Bright Crystal
in Fragrance Discussion

This isnt a fragrance oil, but a few suggestions as I am deeply involved in the perfume community.
1. Check out scentbird. (I have referral link as well) they have bright crystal and many many others. It is 15$ a month and you get 8ml of the perfume of your choice in a twist up spray tin to house the drop in glass. They also have insanely expensive scents as well for the same 15$ month. 8ml is equivalent of 2 sprays a day for 30 days.
2. Hit up sephora, ulta, nordstroms, macys and so on for free samples. The samples are anywhere from 1 to 2ml up to 5ml usually. They absolutely do not mind.
Happy Hunting!
