Review: 4 Conjure Oils Single Notes

[telesilla]

I was involved in a Conjure Oils group order and so here are my impressions of four from the Apothecary line.



Chai Spice Tea

Well I get the spice, a nice mixture of cinnamon, clove, cardamom, with a little hint of pepper and ginger along with a faint woody undernote that might be the nutmeg. What I don't get is either tea or milk. I don't mind the missing milk (my skin does bad things to milk and cream notes) but I'd love to smell some tea in there, at least for a little while. It also faded fairly quickly. So yeah, while it's nice, it's not great or anything.

Iranian Pomegranate

Pretty much what it says on the label; this is a lovely sweet pomegrante scent that doesn't morph or change or anything. It's a dark red oil; if you get some, be careful, it will leave color on your clothing and might possibly stain. I love it and am looking forward to figuring out what I can layer it with.

Dragon's Blood

A lovely and resiny dragon's blood that has an undernote of almost smokey spice to it that gives it the scent of burning resin. There's none soapy undernote that I've smelled in other dragon's blood blends. I had initially thought to play around with layering this, but I think I might buy a bottle to wear just by itself; I like it that much.

Golden Amber

Okay then. I get a brief hit of a nice, simple, non-powdery amber and then...poof! It's gone. Normally my skin loves amber and will amp it like crazy, but even putting on another layer didn't make this one stay around. :(

Of these four, the clear winner is Dragon's Blood with Iranian Pomegranate a close second and Chai Spice Tea a distant third. Golden Amber didn't even place.

I often have trouble lneaivg comments on blogger sites with my gmail account because the audio capture often does not work at all, I don't know why this is but it's very frustrating. I also find the mail boxes in gmail a little difficult to navigate with my screen reader but maybe that's just my personal preference. Asking for improved accessibility from large web organisations like google can be an exhausting process, I attempted to point out Myspace's multitude of problems with accessibility (it had been fairly accessible when I joined but became increasingly unusable as they tried to turn it into Facebook) I sent endless e-mails to them detailing the issues but all I got back were messages saying we require more info from you to deal with this problem', after sending as much info as I could with no helpful response I gave up and left the site which was a shame as I liked the music features. It's shameful that disabled net users should have to fight these battles daily in order to use these major sites, it's incredibly draining to find that when we go online into spaces which should be accommodating we're faced with many of the same barriers that exist in the physical world, yet more proof that accessibility doesn't end with ramps and braille signs!

There are other types of audio CAPTCHA but they doesn't mean they're any better. I remeebmr (http://goaiiiwdv.com) one that had me type out a random movie quote or something and it wouldn't take just part of the phrase. It was a total pain in the ass and wound up being harder to do than attempting to read the blurry letters. I'm not blind, but I can't always read CAPTCHAs and I thought that might be easier. I guess not.I spent some time trying to figure out what site that was. I thought it was Yahoo!, but they just go for the garbled stuff technique. Then I thought it might've been AOL since I had trouble getting some instant messenger passwords at some point, but that one uses a similar technique only it involves really obnoxious beeping sounds. It made me wanna stop the noises as quickly as possible. Ug. Really, had I felt compelled to stick around, I'm not sure I would've been able to process the relevant information, anyway.The whole thing is pretty frustrating. Having to sift through tons of spam comments is a pain, but there really aren't a lot of viable solutions to the problem.
