It has to be pure, and the real thing though. I've noticed a lot of the incense sticks you can buy in shops that are labeled "Dragons Blood" generally also have something else mixed in with it.. And it's hard to know how authentic some of them are. It's a fiery scent, but, it also seems to have a bit of an earthiness to it too. I tend to like warm, fiery scents. Cinnamon, Dragon's Blood, Ginger. I also tend to like airy scents.. Things like Jasmine, Vanilla(may be kind of watery too..), Sage.. Ooo, and Lilacs.. Fresh ones. I like lavender too. I'd say that Lavender and Jasmine are 2 scents that I really have to be in a certain mood to burn, if in incense form. Peppermint isn't bad either. Oh, and Licorice/Anise! Especially when it is blended just right with a couple of other scents. Sandalwood is nice too! I would say that to me, sandalwood is a very good neutralizing scent. Kind of warm, earthy, and kinda just calms and levels things out. Hmmm..
I like ginger and lilac too! I might get some lilac flower water soon.
Oh man licorice, I'll do Jasmine, but not that. I truely cannot stand licorice. Black licorice. If it's a minor ingredient in tea, I will smell it, and the taste sets off my gag reflexes. IP: Logged |

I only wanna support companies that are natural, have high standards, and respect the earth. And honestly, unnatural scents are really repulsive to me.
Venus in Aries here too! IP: Logged |

Aah...okay. Someone close to me was recently diagnosed with a condition that requires similar medication. Got me thinking. And, sorry, didn't mean to pry. IP: Logged |

There is a girl at my work, who will wear patchouli essential oil. Because of that, you know when she is in the building. I don't mind! She is a Leo. IP: Logged |

I think my 6th house Scorpio planets play a part for me, in wanting more natural beauty products. I got into it when Saturn was in Scorpio. Also during the time Uranus has been sexiling my ASC and conjunct my Sun. In my birth chart I have Scorpio Moon conjunct Pluto(rx) I have Uranus in Capricorn stationary rx house 8 conjunct Neptune stationary rx IP: Logged |

I can see how that would work because my bathroom air freshener is a natural citrus spray.

Back to the thread... Yeah, although I can't smell, I have an insane attraction to smelling good and a fascination with it! I use all the right body washes and soaps I also wear perfume all the time. I'm that annoying person in class that walks in and makes everyone gag because their perfume is too strong lol But it's not that drastic I just love the idea of it It's like adding a finishing touch to your overall persona! I'm very Libra (sun/merc/Venus)so perhaps this could be why? 😛

 This is literally the first thing he admitted he is afraid of! He says, if that should happen, he'll stop taking them. I hope he was kidding. IP: Logged |

Spot on about the finishing touch. Yep, I'm pretty much like that. Must be our Libra suns. IP: Logged |

I hope so,too! Lol not taking your medication is dangerous. If anything he should talk with his psychiatrist about switching to a different medicine. Lol (What was his condition?) IP: Logged |

Ugh. I hate when I come to read threads I think will be interesting and hardly anything is mentioned about the context within astrology or the signs. Anyways. I like fresh and spicy scents. Bergamot, earl grey, cardamom, coriander. I attribute this to gemini venus. I also looove that fresh out of the shower scent and have virgo moon too, which is interesting to see a trend here in that.

I don't know much about perfume, but what I do know is that I love it. I've noticed an interest in flower scent perfume to be more specific, but I do like other types of perfume.Actually, I like pretty much anything that smells good. If I could, I would have incense burning whenever I'm in the house. I love incense. Love it. I have a Taurus Venus and Taurus Sun. I think these placements point out why I like so many pleasurable smells. If it appeals to my senses in a good way, of course I'll enjoy it.  IP: Logged |

quote: Originally posted by UrsusBlack: [QUOTE]Originally posted by Stawr: [b] That reminds me, I sprayed Jasmine water at my sister's house. And she told me it smells like animal p!ss to her. She is a Libra Sun. It's not my favorite smell but I can tolerate it. I'm an Aries. But I try to keep that in mind if I ever get jasmine essential oil. I later read that jasmine is an acquired taste.
I love the scent of Jasmine! I can't imagine anyone thinking it smells like **** ! Haha! I thought it was supposed to be an aphrodisiac too. Lol I guess not for everyone!  I'll have to ask my Libra Sun friend if it smells good or bad to her. [/B][/QUOTE] I use it in a hair sine spray I made. Seems to put my boyfriend in the mood. I was worried about wearing it around him at first because of my sister's reaction. He is a Leo. I would like to know what your Libra friend likes too! My sister is a minimalist when it comes to fragrance. She usually just has one signature scent. Once she finds a new one, she will get rid of the old one, and not even finish it. Doesn't really bother me though since she gives them to me when she doesn't want the old one anymore. Her signature scent in high school was BCBG girl. She even had the lotion. It's now mine. A few years back she gave me Top notes are japanese osmanthus, apple leaf and italian mandarin; middle notes are magnolia, boronia and yellow freesia; base notes are musk and white iris. The smell reminds me of my signature scent in high school My sister's current signature scent is The top reveals blood orange, coriander leaf, cardamom and peach, followed by jasmine, unexpected carrot, and spicy coriander note in the heart. The woodsy-musk base is softened with vanilla. So that one has jasmine in it, so it looks like she can handle it in small doses. Or maybe she just likes synthetic jasmine. And she hasn't gave it to me yet. She has Virgo Moon, I wonder if that where her minimalist attitude comes from. She has Venus Scorpio, and Capricorn Mars. IP: Logged |

I like sweet notes in the parfum. But not to the point of being sickened (I think it's the Gemini Sun)I love rose, lavender and orchid parfum. (Sounds fluffy xD Cancer Mars and Venus +Pisces ASC???) I like vanilla and cocoa very much but only if not too intense and in cosmetic products. Not to spray on me :-P IP: Logged |
