BLESSINGS

I'd really like to try these, but I have a hard time understanding scent descriptions when Chaz just lists the notes. He does a great job, and I know it's helpful to everyone- it's just I have trouble with understanding notes.

Can any of you who have any of these please describe your own opinion about these scents? TIA!

Hi, beach-mom, tsavorite and I were discussing it on "can anyone elaborate" thread.

We were talking about the Blessing Series ones. Hopefully others will share their experiences.

Hope this helps.

Image walking into a fragrance house and finding scents color coded, categorized, and grouped as shown below.

I found this scent chart quite a while ago, and it has been helpful to me in getting to know and understand what types of scent I do (and dont) like.

First I used the chart with products I already have. Individual smells or pairings I dislike were just as instructive as those I like.

Then I mark the notes from products I've never smelled, onto the chart. Of course fragrance blooms over time as the carrier dissipates and the essential oils are warmed by your skin. After a little practice I can tell on the chart what scent groupings will suit me better than others from the information Chaz provides.

Hope this is helpful @beach-mom .

Thank you @77yangya - I'll check out that thread.

@x Hedge - Your chart did help. It also helps that I can refer to it again!

@x Hedge That color/scent wheel is wonderful! Thanks!

Does anyone have HOPE? I love richer scents but I do not like coconut, which is listed as a note. But there are times coconut is listed as a note with woody scents and I don;t smell it at all.

@77yangya - I'd like your input. Over the years, I notice I seem to like the same scents you do (you are one of the few I remember liking WEN MEN as I do)!

Hi, gemsilly, Yes, I love Wen Men. I think Hope smells deep, rich, spicy, warm with some coconut notes in there. To my nose, it's not harsh. I feel the others are too citrusy and too harsh. Hope is nice, I like it and had a few NBTs in it. It's a bit sweet but not overly. Hope this helped. XO I adore the new fall and winter ones!

Hedge, thank you for posting that. I think it would be a good idea to keep this current. Sort of, keep it here so that when one enters the forum, boom! It's there!

As soon as someone gets their sample of HONESTY, can you give the ingredient deck and your scent impressions?

BTW - Hi again to everyone! There are so many newbies here since I last posted regularly.

@x Hedge - Thank you for posting that wheel. Somehow I missed it before. I'm thinking this might help me out a lot when trying to find scents that agree with me.

Hi Kjelle! I got a couple of samples of Honesty but to my nose it said strong cucumber and then morphed down into something I just did not really like. I'm really sorry to say I pitched those samples. I love Chaz but everyone's nose is different. However, I have the cleansing conditioners of the new Poppy and Pink Lemonade and the Poppy one grew on me. It smells like when I was a kid! It's very mild. Just a small scent of something floral but a bit powdery. VERY subtle. I would not even say it's floral. The Pink Lemonade said strawberry, nice. I really like them both but jury is still out as far as NBT in them. I will get mousse and styling creme in them though. I felt a bit strange about Poppy but one has to get in the shower and let the scent POP in your face to get the full affect and I mixed them the first time I tried. Next time I did seperately and I do like them both. I got Truth from Chaz' site and it's due to get to me on Friday, the 18th. Snow storm heading my way so it may slow it down. I DO try every new scent Chaz does. Chaz really loved Mandarin Fig and that's the one I liked the least. I'm flipped over Wen Men and Chaz does not seem to flip over it like me. I guess every nose is really different.

I was on Chaz's fan page and he was saying about the Blessing ones to mix them and I did this morning. It smells amazing. I mixed Hope, Light, Love, Joy, Truth, Strength, but I only spritzed a bit of each one on me. It smelled GREAT. I can still smell it and I get all kinds of notes all over the place.

The only ones I REALLY like alone are Hope, Truth and Strength.
