Counting down to LATE ECLIPSES: New Conjure Oils!

As of today, we are less than a month (twenty-nine days) out from the release of Late Eclipses. Since February is so short, I'm kicking off the pre-release month of fun now, and beating the rush. Also, that might do a little to preserve my sanity, and I'm fond of my sanity. It's my cuddly mental buddy.

To start our pre-release month right, here's an exciting announcement: Conjure Oils has released the rest of the current Toby Daye perfume line. There are now TWENTY-ONE scents available, including "Toby Daye" (cut grass and copper), "April O'Leary" (ozone and electricity), and even "January O'Leary" (ozone and pine). I don't have my sample packs of the new scents yet, but if they're half as awesome as the original seven, they're going to knock your socks off.

The Toby perfumes are available only in the 5ml bottles, but if people express interest in doing a decant circle, I will open a space in my website forums for you to set things up. (I can't run it myself, I can enable it for all of you.) These are open-ended, so there's no need to rush right out, act now, etc., and they make an awesome gift for the BPAL-lover in your life. Also, if we collectively buy enough of these, maybe she'll make more.

I live a fairy tale life, I swear. And I wouldn't want it any other way.

Do they really smell as described?

I'm not much of a perfume person (most commercial scents tend to trigger mirgraines), but copper and cut grass sounds delightful, as does --hence my question. If it really smells like grass, that would be cool.

They do, at least in the bottle. Everyone's body chemistry is different, so it can change on the skin. On me, Toby smells like fresh hot pennies.

Can't stand perfumes, too sensitive of a nose. Walking through the make-up area in the department stores is pure agony. That being said. AWESOME. That is so cool that people are making perfume based on your characters.

I want that.

Can I steal some of your life. :D
No, sorry. I'm using it. :)

Man, these make me wish I could smell.
Awww.
Yes! Toby, Tybalt, and Rose Goblin are awesome and I've been waiting for more to debut.

After a good half-hour of looking through the new scents and deciding which I want vs. which will smell good on me, I've narrowed it down to Dare, Evening, Quentin, Sylvester, Garden of Glass Roses, and the Green Potion and I'll buy those when I have some spare monies.
I am SO EXCITED.
My bottle of Toby Daye just arrived today. I was so happy, I put it on immediately. I really like what it turns into on my skin.

So does the housemate's cat, apparently. He just spent about a half an hour sniffing my laptop desk.
That's awesome.

Me, too. My collection is fearsome.
Ooo! Tybalt and Rose Goblin!
BTW, I'm assuming the lack of a Luidaeg scent is for aesthetic reasons based on reputation?

Holy crap, this is making me want to do another decant circle... *facepalm due to busy schedule* BUT SMELLIES OMG.
EXACTLY OMG.
To quote my brother when he smelled the Tybalt oil, "Tybalt's leather jacket is sexy!"
YAY!
I cannot express how awesome it is that these exist!

*leaves out nommy treats for Seanan's sanity*
Nommy treats are always welcome.
This is just way too cool. I won't get these for myself, though. :-)

That's understandable.
I really want Dare and May, dammit. Why am I not possessed of a bottomless bag of gold?
Because sadly, the universe is not that obliging.

There's a decant circle over at http://lm.livejournal.com/859499.html for the first seven. There's open spots in everything (but only one left in Tybalt -- if enough people sign up for that one, she could maybe get a second bottle.)
Awesome!

I fully understand.
