OverSoyed Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 A friend has been asking me for this scent, and I have noticed that Alabaster has it for $12.95/lb. Anyone ever tried it from them? I have been pretty pleased with their F/O's for the most part.Any other suggestions?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsonswix Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I think it works well. I use in 100% soy. I love their prices at Alabaster, but a few of their oils are weak. I can't really compare to other places, as I haven't tried anything else. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverSoyed Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 Thanks! Finally someone can comment without going off on a tangent!:rolleyes2I like their pricing as well, but as also, pricing can't dictate quality. I have tried about 6 or so of their F/O's and all have been winners. I think I'll give it a whirl.I think it works well. I use in 100% soy.

Toni S. Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Oversoyed,I'm willing to share with you! I've been buying E. Musk for quite some time now and it's very nice. The fragrance is on the lighter side, not overbearing so I guess it all depends on what someone is looking for. I also have made soaps, lotions and body sprays with it and it's fantastic in them.HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverSoyed Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 Thanks Toni!I've never smelled it before, at least I don't think I have.Alabasters description says that its a blend of musk, sandlewood, and patcholi. Not something I would like myself, but whatever pleases the customer right?! My one friend is the one that wants it, he is Armenian. He said that the "scent brings back memories of home!"Oversoyed,I'm willing to share with you! I've been buying E. Musk for quite some time now and it's very nice.

OverSoyed Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 My ... umm... (thinks to self, can't say hubby, can't say partner)The other male person who resides with me's mother like patcholi. I don't care for it, but it doesn't gross me out. Just not a personal preference. I'll give it a try though, hopefully mine does as well for me as yours does for you.

It just adds fuel to the fire and makes it look like you are trolling for trouble, The sooner you understand that, the better it will be for you here. How about referring to your loved one as your Significant Other or SO? Maybe that won't be so objectionable to others? But I really think alot of it has to with HOW you say it. As for your question, I've never tried just a plain musk. Only a strawberry, vanilla musk blend. In soy, I'd give it at least 9 out of 10. (my own blend, 8%, HTP wicks, and ECOs.)

OverSoyed Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 Hopefully this won't start another long winded discussion, though I'm sure it will. But that is exactly my point! Why should I have to confirm to something that a random select few think I should. Just because they find it as you say "objectionable," shouldn't mean I should change how I refer to my loved one. That would be like someone coming to you and saying... I dunno... you shouldn't wear your hair like that. Would you automatically run to the beauty shop and change it to suit them? My guess is no. It's your hair, you like it how it is, and to hell with others and what they think.But as for your intended comment, thank you for your response! Sarcasm or sarcastic digs are never going to work.

Meridith Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 As I said OS, I don't think it is what you say, rather how you say it. BTW the Head Shop at SS is worth trying. I'm not a fan of strawberry but this one is quite nice. I think its the musk that helps it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Amorelei Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Hey, Meredith~is it your or Scented who is the big Sola's fan? I think it's Scented, but wasn't sure. They are going out of business in case you hadn't heard. Oh, and when was the party for the new moderator held? Apparently I wasn't invited, and that stings me.
