‘Get to your places!’ shouted the Queen in a voice of thunder, and people began running about in all directions, tumbling up against each other; however, they got settled down in a minute or two, and the game began. Alice thought she had never seen such a curious croquet-ground in her life; it was all ridges and furrows; the balls were live hedgehogs, the mallets live flamingoes, and the soldiers had to double themselves up and to stand on their hands and feet, to make the arches.
The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo: she succeeded in getting its body tucked away, comfortably enough, under her arm, with its legs hanging down, but generally, just as she had got its neck nicely straightened out, and was going to give the hedgehog a blow with its head, it would twist itself round and look up in her face, with such a puzzled expression that she could not help bursting out laughing: and when she had got its head down, and was going to begin again, it was very provoking to find that the hedgehog had unrolled itself, and was in the act of crawling away: besides all this, there was generally a ridge or furrow in the way wherever she wanted to send the hedgehog to, and, as the doubled-up soldiers were always getting up and walking off to other parts of the ground, Alice soon came to the conclusion that it was a very difficult game indeed.
We have some trouble managing our flamingos, too. Pink lime, pink grapefruit, white nectarine, wild rose, sage, woody patchouli, bergamot, and ornery hedgehog musk.

Pepper Perfume Oil
Add to cartShe herself had short red hair and a face which was not so much freckled as one big freckle with occasional areas of skin.
Pepper’s given first names were Pippin Galadriel Moonchild. She had been given them in a naming ceremony in a muddy valley field that contained three sick sheep and a number of leaky polythene teepees. Her mother had chosen the Welsh valley of Pant y Gyrdl as the ideal site to Return to Nature. (Six months later, sick of the rain, the mosquitoes, the men, the tent trampling sheep who ate first the whole commune’s marijuana crop and then its antique minibus, and by now beginning to glimpse why almost the entire drive of human history has been an attempt to get as far away from Nature as possible, Pepper’s mother returned to Pepper’s surprised grandparents in Tadfield, bought a bra, and enrolled in a sociology course with a deep sigh of relief.)
There are only two ways a child can go with a name like Pippin Galadriel Moonchild, and Pepper had chosen the other one: the three male Them had learned this on their first day of school, in the playground, at the age of four.
They had asked her her name, and, all innocent, she had told them.
Subsequently a bucket of water had been needed to separate Pippin Galadriel Moonchild’s teeth from Adam’s shoe. Wensleydale’s first pair of spectacles had been broken, and Brian’s sweater needed five stitches.
The Them were together from then on, and Pepper was Pepper forever, except to her mother, and (when they were feeling especially courageous, and the Them were almost out of earshot) Greasy Johnson and the Johnsonites, the village’s only other gang.
Wild English roses, French gardenia, vanilla, honey, golden ginger, blood orange, pine resin, pink pepper, crushed berries, tuberose, bergamot, and geranium.

LOVELY. The scent is bright, young, and sweet without smelling like candy or pastries. A light, fruity scent, perfect for Spring or Summer. Very pretty, I’m going to buy a full bottle.

Fruity, slight spice, clean, & stands out. Smells like a Yves St. Laurent perfume I used up years ago. Smells reminds me of random pretty, rich, older women smelling like designer perfumes.

This smells amazing on me!! It’s clean and fresh with a hint of citrus. It’s become my signature scent!

Love the front notes of bright citrus and sage. Unfortunately, on me it dries into something very “dry” – a pebble walkway that’s been baking in the sun for months or granite dust. Alas.

Bright and summery. Not really my taste, but I can see how others might enjoy it.

So uplifting! This is a wonderfully whimsical scent. I love it for spring and early summer. Just the sort of scent to wear to get you out of those spring cold snap-blues.
Fresh, clean, citrus, bright. Very bright!

You had me at Ornery Hedgehog Musk! Scent can can change your mood and outlook. For me Croquet makes me feel whimsical which is quite a feet because I am basically anti-whimsy. I think it is a good started oil for people new to BPAL. It citrus and musk and patchouli blended perfectly together. I love Croquet!
