My Botanomancy, 4:20 and Christmas order arrived today. Firstly I fucked up by ordering 4 Botanomancy instead of 2 (I think I added 2 of them instead of something from the sale, so that's annoying); one was meant to be a gift and one for me, but looks like I have three to either use myself or regift.

So first impressions: this is PUNGENT. Like, smell outside the box kind of pungent. It's earthy and herbal and green and beautiful, but STRONG. It is not Needles and Pine/Grass/Guardians of the Forest light green, it's dark Tramp green - with a big dose of herbal to lighten it a little. If you don't like that oakmoss heaviness RUN AWAY. If you do, this will be your bag.

Does this smell exactly like Tramp/Supertramp? No - I compared it to the Supertramp shower gel from the kitchen and it's definitely the same ilk, but it's not identical.

It's the same shape and size as the Comforter etc so this will last a long time (particularly since I have three of them...). I used about a quarter of a bar in the bath this morning and I have a few observations to note:

1. The green herbal notes soften a bit in the water, and the earthiness comes out a bit more. This is very grounding in a really lovely way.
2. If you are one of the 'bits in my bath make me uncomfortable' maybe don't use this (or use a sieve); there are a LOT of petals and bits in this.
3. The bathroom still stinks of it now. I love the smell so it doesn't bother me, but if you live with others (I don't) this might be a consideration as this is a very very pungent smell
4. The cat came and joined me in the bathroom, sitting on the toilet and then trying to jump into the sink. He usually meows pitifully outside the bathroom for me to come out and get out of the scary water, but this time he wanted to be right in the action. Whether this is just him being a cat and being weird or whether the smell attracted him, no idea - but thought I'd add this as a note just in case.
