But I like to write a few down here and there as I think of them or I will forget.

It is kinda funny that you wore it but don't really crave it in home fragrance because I relish it in home fragrance but I don't ever really desire to wear it in perfume. Talk all the PS smack you want dah-link... more for me! MUAHHAHAHAHAHA!<br /><br />The Blueberry Noel will make you want to do the Time Warp to my house and steal it. It is fabulous. The holy grail blueberries and cream. I hope the folks who ended up with them enjoy them. I know I will. Cannot wait to see your order!

SMT's DB sounds really nice, thanks for describing it. I bet I would like the scents that you mentioned, I will have to carve a little time to peruse the site and get my creative blending juices flowing.Jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849863681125100236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-66961729724473201692017-01-04T15:00:05.520-05:002017-01-04T15:00:05.520-05:00That all looks so fantastic - I'm now more exc...That all looks so fantastic - I'm now more excited than ever for my customs order. I got two decorated sheet cakes, both in fruity bakery scents, so I'm wondering what my decorations will be. The snowflakes are just adorable! I wish I liked Pink Sugar scents more than I do (which is not very much; funny, as I used to wear it as a fragrance when it first hit the market) because you always make them sound fantastic, and I love the idea of pink peppermint. Pretty well the only Pink Sugar scent I could tolerate was a K's Kreations fragrance that blended it and a sort of cinnamony pumpkin. It was actually pretty great, so I guess I shouldn't talk too much smack about PS!<br /><br />And that Blueberry Noel guy looks devine! I saw that somebody on the SMT FB page bought some of your blends from the RTS section - I've seen this one and your Ultimate Bakery blend making the rounds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-22262219620504565762017-01-04T07:24:42.411-05:002017-01-04T07:24:42.411-05:00It is one of my favorites!

But they changed it out and I love the new one they use. It still is a little floral and soft (as most are) but not nearly to the extent it was. It has more of an earthiness to it that I love. So I would say it is a well balanced DB. Not overly earthy and not overly powdery/floral. Checking out RTS would be a great idea! Plus the blogger, Liz, at Furianne created some awesome SMT blends if you want to check that out and search her blog. And you can browse their current scent list on the website and get ideas just connecting a few scents here and there that you enjoy. As of right now they have a blueberry/cinnamon/waffle pie slice that looks amazing, you might like the Barbershop 1920's they have in stock or the sweet lavender marshmallow cake. Sinus relief is nice too.

The blending is indeed the exciting part. ...Thanks! The blending is indeed the exciting part. A little risk makes it interesting. The ladies have changed a lot in 3 years. I think you would approve: less shapes so ordering is less overwhelming, new additions to the scent list each year, easier website, and best of all, better packaging! Every time I order, the piped hearts and sheet cakes comes wrapped in bubble wrap. The zip top bags are sturdy, there is plenty of tissue papers and additional bubble wrap if needed to tightly pack the box and have things arrive looking nice. Sometimes there are still breaks but I think that is more the USPS heavy handling rather than their packing. The piped hearts aren't smooshed and I love that. They used to be. <br /><br />As fr as wrong scents... that may have happened only once with me and it was a peppermint blend i did that smelled like it had bakery in it about two years ago. But accidents do happen, especially with the volume they are working on. I am totally happy with my orders and enjoy the scent quality and throw. I would love to request some specific scents so I may do that one day. I would swoon if they could get Shannon's Twilight dupe. <br /><br />I bet you could come up with something. After all... you did the cotton candy butter brickle blend and that was amazing.

I've had some yucky Dragon's Blood and some pleasant (House of Phoebe) if it's a smothering powder scent, it's no bueno. How would you describe this DB? Also, I'm wondering if I should check out rts, so I would know what to blend when there's an opportunity. Any RTS suggestions when you have a moment would be appreciated.Jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849863681125100236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-25472698409764380522017-01-03T21:16:27.788-05:002017-01-03T21:16:27.788-05:00I do love ogling over your SMT custom orders! Your...I do love ogling over your SMT custom orders! Your combinations are always so different than what I would pick for myself and yet so intriguing. Always love your Dragon's Blood blends!! Kind of itching to do a custom order at some point - would you believe it's been since 2014 since I custom blended anything?! Since it's 2017, I guess you could say that it's been 3 years! <br /><br />How is the consistency of the packaging and scents? Back when I was ordering, it tended to be a bit of a hot mess - wrong scents used and packaging falling apart during shipments were two of my major issues. But damn if the wasn't still awesome! I loved the variety they had to blend with too. I wouldn't even know what to blend anymore!

It was fun ordering so fast but now a down side is that I don't have anything to look forward to arriving now. And I have to wait a good while before more I can order custom again. Though I may pop in for RTS every now and again. If I run low.
