Wilmas, Vicks, same smell, I don't know what you folks are on about?

Then again most soap, hair wax and even the fancy cream my girlfriend applies to her face with a trowel every morning, all smell like Vicks to me too.

I think I must have the nasal equivalent of colour blindness and I guess that means my dreams of running my own perfume counter are somewhat unrealistic, best stick to gas leak investigations...

Gas does'nt happen to smell like vick Collin, does it.

 

[Toddy]

Mine has arrived too

I detest the stale ashtray smell of Wilma's stuff, and I was worried by the citronella, but Fiona's stuff is lovely
Very pleased, very relieved, actually looking forward to the biting blighters so I can try it out for them.

I don't know how you balance it Xylaria, but the lemon is crisp and there's no acrid bite to the cream.

Quietly hopeful
Mary

Mine arrived today, it smells, very smokey and very nice.

I've tried a little patch on my dodgy skin to see if there's any reaction. Hopefully not.

All we need now is midges to give it a proper test

 

[woodstock]

the old man has just striped naked smeared himself completly with it and danced in the fire and not turned in to fire ball.




Well smearing it on paper doesn't do the vasaline thing, it just melts and drips as expected.

[edit] dont melt it above a pale carpet.

And without the norgi top this beats my laying on fire at swift valley

 

[RonW]

Got mine last friday.
Does smell a little like Wilma (s nordic summer), yet not so strong... and with a hint of lemon.

Let the biting bugs come!

 

[Shewie]

Packed mine for a trip last week but didn't see any bugs, I'm up in Scotland this weekend so it'll be going with me again.

A plane to Florida

Been using the lip balm a fair bit. as it has been particularly cold for the last few days.

No chapped lips so far and when on it doesn't feel like I've woken up and discovered my girlfriend has lippy'ed me up for a laugh. So far, so good

I'll do a more detailed review, when I've been using it for a week or three.

We now have the midge repel in five outlets in Carmarthen, Happy days.

 

[Kernowek Scouser]

Well done fellla (and Fi)

 

[HeltorChasca]

So where can I buy some? Sounds worth it because I'm worth it too. Can I use it as a lip balm too? I work outside all year and my lips take some flack. Anyone got a link?

Many thanks and good luck with sales.........hc

The midge repel will be selling on here by the end of next week in the makers section. We started coming up with stuff because what is out there is either very pricey, is full of chemical rubbish, or just isnt up to the job of outdoor use.

Thank you volunteering to guinea pig some lipbalm, we are also developing a skin chap cream. PM sent.

 

[Macaroon]

Are these the same as you gave me when you were here a while back? I haven't, for obvious reasons, used the bug repellent yet, but I can vouch 100% for the lip balm - we've had a real yup of East in the wind for weeks now and I spend most of my time high up the side of the Wye valley and haven't had chapped lips at all - and there's still a rake of it left.............it's great stuff and lasts for ages...............atb mac

 

[woodstock]

Cheers Mac glad it works for you, we are at present working on a new formula.

 

[Toddy]

I'm seriously interested The wind up here this past wee while has been bitter and icy. I've used up two lipsyls this Winter, and that's even with me being stuck indoors for a fair bit of it.

I've tried out the anti midge as a patch test and have had no reactions; considering that I ended up with a chemical burn from the stick on patch, this formula is a result
It's good to go as soon as the biting blighters appear.

atb,
Mary

The first mosquito has been sighted here!!

And so far no reaction in the skintest. All looking good. And smelling good, too!
