Yep, it's the sort of scent where 15 ml might last me my entire life, LOL…

I told Kevin in a post once that this gave me such an instant headache that I handed it off to my boss. For some reason I forgot which one that had been and got another sample so I figured the gods must want me to have it. I tried it again last night (double dab from the vial) and liked it much better this time. It is intense and definitely not an everyday juice, and I doubt I will ever buy more than a sample or decant but I'm glad I gave it another try. I was happy to have a vetiver that is not also citrus, which is fine but seems predominant. I'll have to try the Vetiver Tonka. I'll also have to sniff for the beets!

Can't blame you. It is a very cool scent, but I wouldn't call it “wearable”. Can't bring myself to wear it 2 days in a row, so will have to smell for the beets some other time

And I do find those bottles too much – the lid being the worst element of a very maximalist design aesthetic.

The beets is totally accurate – and I'd never thought of that before!
I can't wear this. I'll take tea and proper English crumpets any day of the week. Don't go easy on the butter…

LOL — I suppose I could gouge it off the top and put something else in its place

Ok, now I'll definitely have to look for the beets, but have to say it really smells like lighter fluid to me. Beets sounds much nicer.

I don't mind a frou frou bottle myself, but that ruby just looks very PLASTIC.
