Normally the thought of mint in a scent brings me back to the days when my parents would drown me in a huge layer of Vicks Vapor Rub to fend off a bad cold. b-( I must have felt daring the day I decided to jump out of my "comfort zone" and try Menthe Moderne. It turned out to be soothing :); the mint is hint of spearmint (no camphor notes) and is blended with a bit of dry citrus to take any piercing edge off the mint. The scent quickly dries down to light woodsy incense and green tea, with an almost benzoin-like finish. It has become my comfort scent for the days when I am not feeling well or did not get enough sleep. Oh yes, I love Tamarind/Paprika, too. This was another one that was out of my "comfort zone" due to the fruity notes. Somehow, it works. I think the lack of florals in this scent was a wise move on Dawn's part. The paprika keeps the scent dry enough and tempers the sweetness. My only complaint is that I wish it was a little spicier. I was not happy with DSH's Orange Blossom scent (Fleurs D'Oranger -the oil). It lasted only three minutes. :-< Ashram is a pure incense scent, rather reminiscent of a good Hindi incense. It's on my list for a small bottle. I have not had the chance to try the CdG 888. Perhaps one day! Yes, I know I’m a little late to the party but I had post this:

The cost of the DSH seemed prohibitive, though - which is sort of funny now, considering all the spendy scents out lately. Also, that 888 sounds quite neat!
