Today (10/10), I'm testing a "blend" of Deconstructing Eden Aquarius and Poseidon. I don't know if this is normal or not, but I found that Aquarius smells quite a bit different if I apply it to the crook of my elbow than applied to a "non-bendy" area, like my wrist. Whatever happens in the crook of my elbow is what I prefer, and I think blending with Poseidon might help.

I recently ordered a bunch of Alkemia samples and they should be arriving today. I'm going to have a hard time waiting while they settle for a little bit before I test them.

Okay, my Alkemia samples arrived and I can't wait to start actually testing them. Of course, I sniffed them all out of the vial as soon as they arrived, and I'm pretty excited about several of them. I ordered two 5-packs of sample vials, and it looks like she threw in two extra sample vials as well, wihch was a pleasant surprise. I'll try to remember to report back on how things go with testing these!

I haven't ventured into Alkemia yet, but I've heard good things! I'd love reviews after to test them out.
