‘In that case,’ said the Dodo solemnly, rising to its feet, ‘I move that the meeting adjourn, for the immediate adoption of more energetic remedies –’
‘Speak English!’ said the Eaglet. ‘I don’t know the meaning of half those long words, and, what’s more, I don’t believe you do either!’ And the Eaglet bent down its head to hide a smile: some of the other birds tittered audibly.
‘What I was going to say,’ said the Dodo in an offended tone, ‘was, that the best thing to get us dry would be a Caucus-race.’
‘What is a Caucus-race?’ said Alice; not that she wanted much to know, but the Dodo had paused as if it thought that somebody ought to speak, and no one else seemed inclined to say anything.
‘Why,’ said the Dodo, ‘the best way to explain it is to do it.’ (And, as you might like to try the thing yourself, some winter day, I will tell you how the Dodo managed it.)
First it marked out a race-course, in a sort of circle, (‘the exact shape doesn’t matter,’ it said,) and then all the party were placed along the course, here and there. There was no ‘One, two, three, and away,’ but they began running when they liked, and left off when they liked, so that it was not easy to know when the race was over. However, when they had been running half an hour or so, and were quite dry again, the Dodo suddenly called out ‘The race is over!’ and they all crowded round it, panting, and asking, ‘But who has won?’
This question the Dodo could not answer without a great deal of thought, and it sat for a long time with one finger pressed upon its forehead (the position in which you usually see Shakespeare, in the pictures of him), while the rest waited in silence. At last the Dodo said, ‘everybody has won, and all must have prizes.’
Red musk, lemon peel, sugar cane, cassia, white sandalwood, mango, and agarwood.

I received this as a gift, and it’s one of my favorites. It smells like creamsicles & sugar cookies!

My favorite fraggle :). Bright, cheerful, sugared citrus and lots of creamy, marshmallowy vanilla.

In the bottle: Delicious orange creamsicle! Well, tangerine creamsicle.
Wet: Same. I hope it stays like this!
The other citrus components are beginning to emerge. I can definitely smell all of the citrus components, so it’s a citrus creamsicle now.
Dry: Citrus-y creamsicle goodness!
Verdict: LOVE. I am so glad that I took a chance and bought a bottle unsniffed.

This perfume oil smells good enough to eat! The scent is pure sugary creamsicle in the bottle but calms to a bright, clean citrusy vanilla while worn. Easily one of my absolute favourite oils. A great foody scent without being too gourmand.
