… and forgive me if this is a stupid question, but it doesnt smell like Buttcheese at all! More like Sour grape juice or sour fruit punch! lol Im actually not as nauseated by it like others claim. Does that mean I got a bad batch?
No, it doesn’t mean it’s a bad batch 
I think everyone precieves EoW a little different… It ranges from stinky cheese, to sour wine/grape juice that’s gone off to teenagers old shoes 
The scent will probably change a bit once you put it on your skin…and it mellows on dry down.
The only way to know for sure if it’s a bad batch is to try it If you get hits from using it then the batch is ok.
I use EoW in oil form myself so I never bought the liquid EoW early this year when there was talk on the forum about the batch being bad…BUT if I’m not mistaken the batch was bad because it was weak, not that it was without effect. It just needed insane amounts to work.
I just got mine too and it smells like sour grapes to me, too. It’ not nauseating, but it’s definitely a fermented..“what’s that funny smell” smell. Kinda like when you havent rinsed the disposal out good enough. You smell it…waft by every now and then it disappears. I can’t tell if it works yet. Tried it on my target without any results, but I’m about sure that I didn’t do enough. I did like 3 little tiny dabs. I need to do more, but I think I hate the smell of Pink Sugar even more than EOW. lol! I doubt any of my own delicate, clean perfumes would ever cover EOW.
I say try it on and go out and see if it’s a bad batch! lol I’m going to try again today and it sounds like we might have gotten it from the same batch. I received mine not long ago.
I think I may have to give the eow oil another try…will need to take my covering skills to another level sigh… the eow in alcohol version is driving me nuts!
I absolutely LOVE my oil EoW
It’s my daily staple…I can’t live without it 
oh beautiful…
please tell me how you cover that stuff?! I tried covering it with pink sugar but no matter how much I used, it never got covered!! sigh So I couldn’t really test it, got scared of the stank lol
Is it as potent as the alcohol-based version?
Oh yeah
I have really dry skin which probably helps, but I always use 20-30 min dry down. I don’t use spray perfume as cover unless I’m out for a night on the town & I want a li’ll bit of bleed through
I use perfume oil as cover scents…much longer lasting & very little (if any) bleed through, and then it’s usually a lighter vanilla scent.
lol, well m’lady you’ve convinced me to get some eow oil… lol
I’ve got dry skin too, maybe I should apply the eow oil and skip the shea cream part.
Ok how do you get the oil? When i go to LS it doesnt have any separate options that I see. Or is it by special request only?
nope honey
