Where to start? First, the Aja is really obvious to me, and yet it is quite different from straight up Aja. To me, the Aja is neither completely innocent nor snatchy, but something else. Aja smells like it includes an animalic compound that, in any higher concentration, would be smelly, but isn't. It almost, but not quite, smells like a ferret's musk. (I like ferret scent so this isn't a negative to me). So Poudre de Bourdons is powdery and sweet, and dries down into a very sexy skin scent, but there is that animalic note from Aja that makes it not completely innocent. Also, it seems light, but at the same time not light--quite strong and heavy--and I think that is also coming from the Aja. So, I like it a lot, but what is keeping me on the fence about ordering a fb is it is familiar and dredging some kind of amorphous childhood memories out of my head. I actually hope this effect goes away, because I find it agitating me, which is a shame because I really like this fragrances.

I tried this last night and it is nice, but I'm not detecting the complexity that others have. I mostly get the white musk, and green, watery notes underneath that. I don't detect the LP base ingredients. I find that this often happens for me with white musk: it doesn't amp on me, but it does scatter and blur everthing else and thus takes over the scent. This morning, there just a trace of it left, and now I think I'm getting the tea, after everthing else is gone.

I have not tried this, but I took a leap of faith and ordered a fb boosted with la femme mystere and cops.

And it is long-lasting too! Woke up this morning still smelling all syrupy brown sugary!

I need/want: Raspberry Rose Confite, Nola, Moon Sugar Candy, Aja, some Lumina 60/40 spray. Don't know if the budget will allow that large of an order or not.

The original sample of this I received when it came out is just heavenly. The caramel is the most prominent note, both wet and after dry down, sweet but not too sweet, and backed up by a nice clean musk. I just bought a full bottle on the trading post, and it is different so I believe it must be from a subsequent brewing. There is less caramel and more musk, and it has a sharp note that smells to me like rubbing alcohol. It is more perfume-y (in the sense of conventional perfumes) It tames down a little after it's dry, but not completely. I still like it, but on my skin it does not work quite as well as the original brewing.

That's so funny. I put this on after a bath today and was moved to rub some in my hair while it was still damp. I hadn't read the reviews yet. This one is just scrumptious. Maple amps on me, so this one is prominently maple syrup. The lemon is very understated. The amber is thick and syrupy too, but at the same time just a bit powdery. This is what I wanted BAM Spicy Brown Sugar to smell like, but it always turned wonky on me.

This is really nice. From the description, I would not have guessed that I would like it. In the vial, it smelled like a really simple sweet light musk, and I couldn't really detect the sandalwood, but as it is drying down it seems to be turning into something subtle yet complex. The sandalwood is coming out, just a little.

This is just yummy! It was all vanilla buttercream on me at first, but after dry down the strawberry notes emerged. As others have said, it's real strawberry, not fake strawberry. Eventually, the vanilla and cream sort of disappeared, and the strawberry turned almost jammy. At this point it begant to remind me a little of Hotness! Personified.

Hmm...the champagne notes reminded me of Bacchanalia. Once it dried down that went away, but it is still not my favorite peach scent. Nice, just not compelling me to buy a bottle.

I wore this today for the first time, and I really like it! I generally avoid rose perfumes, not because I don't like the fragrance of roses, but because as a perfume they often seem to come off old lady-ish on me. However, this is really fresh and sexy and superbly blended. Also, I think with this winter of polar vortices, I am craving spring with every fiber of by being, and this smells very clean and springy.

OMG! Finally got my sample of this, and it is awesome! I can't fully describe the scent as it is quite unique, but it is sweet and it is dead sexy. I put some of this on one wrist, and some Cherry Divinity on the other, and let my husband smell them both. He liked the Cherry Divinity better, but I think in a more sexy-time situation he'd like the Aja.

I ordered a sampler kit which I haven't received yet, but I broke down last night and got a full bottle of this.

Mara told me Lumina was an easy blend to make. I think IW might have been a mixture from a previous phero vendor (?) For me personally, in terms of self effects, Lumina seems somewhat similar to IW, which was the first phero blend I bought from LPMP.

Mara has made Lumina for me as a Mad Scientist blend.

Dang it, I have been intending to get a sample of this. I just placed an order and forgot to get it. Very curious to try it.

I just recently tried this and it is really nice. Coco butter is the dominant note while wet, then the honey comes out. Several hours later the amber and patchouli waft out like thin tendrils of incense underlain by skin musk.

Hi soulful,do a search for the fragrance you want to review, and you should find there is already a thread for just about everything. They are in review subforums, but searching on the fragrance name is easiest. Your post count automatically goes up for each post you make (excluding the off topic forums). So reviews, general perfume chat, and journal threads all count. There is also a thread about earning posting credits for posting reviews on amazon-- instructions are in that thread.

How long had you been wearing it when you asked how it smelled? Since it has cops it does need a dry down of 15 mins or so.

When wet, this is really jasmine, overwhelmingly floral. But it very quickly settled down to a really soft , fresh, clean scent. It reminds me a little of giorgio (though it has been years since I smelled that). Oh, and now the ozone is coming out. I like it!

I just ordered full bottles of BAM Buttercream peach, Ambrosia, and Jasmine Rain. Super excited!

Only 30% of young women are copulin "producers", and of these, the attractive copulin scent is only produced during ovulation. So, I think every woman, regardless of age, can benefit from wearing copulins, and the only difference young fertile women need is to back off a little while ovulating (and thus, only if they are not on the pill). So definitely get a copulin product!

This is all cocoa butter while wet to my nose. Before re-reading the description my first thought was chocolate. As it begins to dry I get honey, but at first its sort of a synthetic, soapy honey note (honeyed LP did this too, but more so). As it dries down it becomes a very nice, barely there honey scent. I'm not getting any lemongrass or grapefruit at all. Perhaps I'm getting more tolerant of patchouli, but it seems very well blended in this scent. I don't smell any in-your-face patchouli until hours later. I put some on before bed last night, and this morning got some smokey patchouli whiffs. When I sniffed my wrists, it wasn't there, they just came every so often out of no where.

This is really nice. The vanilla and ylang ylang are dominant to my nose. It is a light scent to begin with, and seems to fade quickly. I may try slathering it on tomorrow.

That is really sweet of you and I would take you up on your r offer, but I won't be able to place an order until sometime next week. I understand if it can't be held.
