Winter 2011-2012

It's been awhile since my last blog update, I know! For those of you who still follow OHWTO mainly via this blog, you can get more up-to-the-minute updates by following me on Facebook or via Twitter. I am not sure why but it just seems easier to update there than here... so, there you have it.

Winter is upon us, and here just in time are a few new fragrances, some of which are Limited Editions for the winter months, and some which will be around for the foreseeable future. I didn't feel much like doing a strictly "holiday" collection this year, so there's a couple of fragrances which aren't necessarily "holiday" themed.

* Merry & Bright(LE): Essential oils and absolutes make up this festive scent that will bring you good cheer through the upcoming season. Tangerine, Cardamom, Tonka Bean & Amber

* Waes Hail(LE): Be you healthy! A wonderfully uplifting sentiment, wishing you nothing but good things for the upcoming year. Tart Cranberries, mulling Spices, & Frankincense resin

* Winter Warmer(LE): A winter evening's delight, Winter Warmer brings together scents reminiscent of drinks well-loved for their knack for chasing way the chilly presence of Jack Frost. Figs, Currants, Buttered Rum, Apples, Brandy, Clove, Citrus peel, Ginger, Wheat Ale, Tobacco Absolute & Hops Flower extract

* Festivus(LE): A holiday scent for the rest of us! Celebrants of Festivus typically aren't those who follow a prescribed path, and this fragrance is just for you! In addition to your Feats of Strength and your Aluminum Poles, you can now add "Festivus the Fragrance" to your list of holiday traditions. Festivus, yes! Bagels, no! Creamy Vanilla, Cedarwood, Eastern spices, Patchouli, Sandalwood & Powdery faint Florals

* Goodie Goodie(LE): This was a custom request blend for Grey of LeGothique, spiced gumdrops- you know the ones! This fairly literal scent combines notes of Cinnamon, Peppermint, Anise, Cassia, Sugar & Vanilla (please use caution with this scent as it does contain cinnamon, which can irritate the skin of persons sensitive to it- patch testing is highly recommended before slathering all over yourself)

* Lumberjack(LE): I'm a lumberjack, I work all day... a masculine evergreen scent perfect for the cold wintry months. Balsam Pine, Bay Rum, Black Tea, Fallen Leaves, Musk, Valencia Orange, Spiced Rum, Vanilla

* Visions of Sugarplums(LE): Sweet and fruity, with a little something ethereal thrown in for good measure. Is this real? Are you still asleep? Close your eyes again, and see. Raspberries, Strawberry candies, Sugared Violets, Tuberose, White Musk & damp Moss

* The Cake Is A Lie: But it smells so REAL! Lemon-filled butter cake with thick, fluffy frosting. Lemon, Sugar, Cake batter & Frosting

* I Smell Like A Witch: A special request for Luna of Toxid-Lotus.net, I smell like a Witch came about when a little boy told her that the combination of scents she was wearing made her smell "like a witch". Heh. Red & White Roses, Cotton Candy, Bubble Gum, Smoke, Sandalwood, Patchouli & Vanilla Bean

* Pretty Undead: Another custom blend, this one was for Kayla of Pretty Undead; a young, fresh scent featuring a few of her favorite notes. Blueberries, Black Pepper, Brown Sugar, Nutmeg, Plums, Lavender, Peppermint, Lindenblossom, & Banana


I will also be adding a few new fragrances to the "Stock Scents" list in the next couple of days- a few new Lush & BBW dupes that are to die for! :) Till then!
