*cries in contact dermatitis*
I own 3 bottles (tubes?) of this. I love it. I don't ever want to be without it. But... and this is a huge but, it gives me terrible, horrible, no good, very bad contact dermatitis. Whatever scent compound is in this glorious fragrance that is somehow warm, soft, sensual, and fresh and clean all at the same time, makes me break out in itchy bumps within about 5 days of using it. Every time.I can get away with using it directly on my volar wrists and even rub this into my palms to pat it onto my clothes, and for some reason, the skin there doesn't react, but as soon as this gets past my wrist creases all bets are off. All of the amber-type scents do this to my skin (zoha amber bloom - which, by the way, is an exact dupe for this at a lower price - dedcool milk, dedcool xtra milk... ). It's an absolute bummer because it's my favorite scent. I could bathe in it. I could have all of my clothing and sheets smell like it. I could wash my dishes with it. That is how much I love it, but whatever compound equates to "amber" also equates to "rash" for me.Still, that's a me thing and not a you thing, so if you're wondering about this fragrance and whether or not it's worth buying: IT IS WORTH BUYING!The reviews that say that they picked up a roll-on and there was no scent are not wrong. That has happened with all 3 of mine. I sniffed it upon opening and it smelled like nothing. (It also happened with several of the rollerballs of Zoha Amber Bloom.) I rolled it on my wrist and my wrist smelled like nothing. Then a couple of days later, I sniffed again, and the scent was stronger. I rolled it on my wrist and there was some scent. Then a couple of days later, I sniffed again, and the scent was even stronger. It does max out at a certain point, and it doesn't take months of "maceration" to get this to full strength, but for the bottles that don't smell like anything right away, it does seem to take a small amount of rolling this onto your skin and leaving it for a few days (maybe introducing some skin bacteria? I don't know, really) before the scent becomes apparent.People will say it's because your nose needs to learn how to smell these skin scents, but I don't buy that for a second. I can smell one open bottle that's been open for a few days and get a definite scent, and then smell a brand new one and get absolutely nothing. My nose knows what it's looking for and can detect it just fine, there's just something weird in the chemistry of these amber oils in particular where even some small amount of air getting into them transforms the scent from undetectable to undeniably scrum-diddly-umptious. So if you opened yours and were disappointed that you got a "bad one," roll it on your skin, and then leave it for a couple days. You may find that the scent has come alive a bit.So, despite the fact that this gives me horrible rashes that I end up needing to use steroids on in order to get my skin to calm down (I have a rash on my neck and both wrists as we speak!), I'm still subjecting myself to it because the scent is so gorgeous and worth it. But if you're anything like me, and don't want to deal with rashes from perfume, note that you should also stay away from the fragrances I listed above because they're all either exact dupes or close enough that they contain the same fragrance compound(s) that will make you bumpy and itchy.Ver másVer menos
