I have experienced Anya's Perfume!

[Guest guest]

I'm in heaven. I received a very special delivery yesterday...Anya's perfume!

The first one I smelled was Pan. The first whiff told me this was something very

different, I

went straight away and put some on my husband. Has anyone ever read the book

" The

Secret Garden " ? It's about a beautiful garden which was hidden away for years

and was

discovered by two children. Pan takes you into the very far corner of this

garden where the

old herb patch is. The first sharp warm herbal smell which tells you you've

stepped

in some overgrown thyme or lavender, further in you discover the mossy garden

wall,

some old broken clay pots, an old tree stump and a robin's nest in an old

kettle. But it

doesn't stop there, it takes you to the garden shed where you don a pair of old

leather

gardening gloves and grab a rusty trowel and go back to clear the herb patch of

weeds.

The perfume settles in and then it lasts and lasts becoming warmer and more

familiar as it

blends with the human smell MMMH of my husband!

The next one, (I could hardly wait) I tried was Fairchild. I put some on my 17

month old

daughter's hand as well (she is always begging me for perfume). I don't usually

like floral,

and I smell this expecting a thick heady floral note, but what I get instead is

a surprise... I

was lucky enough to visit the botanical gardens on the lush volcanic island of

St in

the Carribean. Fairchild brought me back there, the warm evening sun, the walls

of

different varieties of jasmine, the ylang ylang, the feeling of wanting to stay

there forever,

me pestering the guide every time the breeze brought a different smell to my

nose, and

behind it all the fresh smell of the sea and fertile volcanic earth where ever

you go.

Then just when I expected it to be on it's last legs and down to the dryout base

notes

there's this note, it's so light, so high, so sweet and citrusy, I can almost

see the colour

yellow wafting from my wrist.

How did you do that Anya... Oh real artisan of perfumery?

BTW When I smelled it on my daughters hand, it was so different it almost

smelled like a

different perfume. It smelled pink, sweet and innocent and she loved it, she

kept smelling

her hand and going MMMMH!

The next one was Riverside, I left it a good few hours before I tried this one,

I was still

getting back from the carribean, lol. The first thing I thought of was 4711, the

old perfume

I loved so much. This moved quickly into something much more familiar. It it

started to

smell exactly like the big bouquets of flowers my mother used to gather in her

own garden

after the summer rain, the different varieties of old roses, the orange blosom,

and the

fragrant green leaves. But then there is something else that brings me back to

that time,

my mother usually had some scones or some vanilla biscuits baking, and she

always

smelled of lux soap. So if you take the fresh garden bouquet, the warm baking

vanilla

smell and the clean soapy but slightly musky smell of a mother as she leans over

to put

the flowers on the table, you have Riverside.

And one more thing, Anya, I got your " The real Mc Coy " pain relief oil just when

myself and

my husband were wondering what we were going to put on our 3 year old son's

chicken

pox to stop them hurting and stop him screaming (he's not good with pain). I

literally took

the bottle out of the box and went and put some on a couple of the blisters. He

stopped

crying immediately. He wanted me to put a dab on every single spot. I think I'm

going to

need a bigger bottle next time!

Thanks Anya!

Ruth

One happy customer!

Hi Ruth and mmmh husband --- you got right into Pan's garden, lol!

Many like it because it is so unlike any other scent on the market, a

real country soft relaxing scent.

T joked he found 17 drydown stages in Fairchild! Fairchild is

the only tropical botanical garden I've experienced, it's great to

hear the same sensory overload occurs in others!

I haven't heard of any children using it yet, and it surprises me,

because I regard Fairchild as a challenging, sophisticated scent, and

it's really something to hear how it morphs on her skin to be sweet

and innocent. Wow.

Ah, the 4711 ref is from all the citrus in there, three kinds of

petitgrain, absolute, neroli, water abs. I surprised the pink

peppercorn top note didn't jump out more at the opening. I adore the

PP note! Then there is a melange of roses, and vanillas, etc., so you got it!

I always tell folks they will know in less than a minute if it will

work for what ails them. This is the first chicken pox report, so

it's very important to know this! The oil is very concentrated, so

that's why it's in such a firm bottle -- you can just shake the drops

out. On the little guy, maybe you can dilute it a bit in other oil.

It's good for burns, sprains, sciatica, arthritis, etc. -- it's an

antiinflammatory and pain killer, but wow, the chicken pox holds my

compounding of the blend to be true of it's ability to soothe and relieve pain.
