Enchantress (22/67)

  1. Potion Master, I put in two PE orders. One for Orbs and Tassels and one for HMH. I think I'll wait on the Peace and Healing PE until the next round of available PEs/next spring. I noticed there's a potential Soggy Fairies that's up and coming in this round. I'm eager to see what magic that brings to the aether. If you have any questions or suggestions, just give me a jingle. Thank you so much for opening the PEs. I cannot believe you chose to do this on top of the sale. You're truly magickal. 🥰
  2. Potion Master, do you have suggestions/input for any of the three ideas listed for the PEs?
  3. Third idea, based on my five-year-old memory of opening my Grandpa Harry's intricately carved leather and suede jewelry box (just after his funeral). Grandma Opie and wee me, sifting through cufflinks and tie bars, his rose gold wedding band and pocketwatch, and his papa's clay pipe. She gave me the entire box. Time was I was in charge of choosing his 'church' cufflinks and tie bar every Sunday morning. He never said my choices didn't match his suit and tie. He let me wind his pocket watch. He was a giant in his day- 6'3"-the most gentle of all giants. He was a tool and die maker, and a brilliant woodworker. He made endless toys, and made a sleigh to fill with Christmas gifts. Grandpa Harry was THE biggest duck in the puddle for any holiday or birthday. His laughter filled the room. The jewelry box is currently in my sitting room, along with many toys, and carved peach and apricot pits made into animals and people, beads and chain links, and intricate wooden puzzles. He illustrated adventure stories that he wrote just for me, which are on my shelves. We were devoted Batman, Space Ghost, and Star Trek fans. He took me to movies, and on train rides, and to museums, races, fancy restaurants and bakeries. He loved zinnias, bluebells, daffodils and snapdragons. He taught me how to make Cinnamon Velvet Fudge, which makes an appearance at our holiday celebration every year. He read me stories-every character had a different voice. In one pendulum swing, he'd swoop me up and plop me onto his shoulder, where I played a parrot with an eye patch to his pirate with a fake peg leg, and we sailed the seven seas in his fishing boat. We never discovered gold or silver, but we made large hauls in bluegills and bass. He passed down what little he knew of his heritage, Blackfoot, Scottish, and American, and was so proud of every facet of his history. At 60, I have outlived him by three years, a family curse, seemingly broken. Harry Malcolm Hart believed first, last, and always, in the gifts of empathy, compassion, and charity. I still hear his joyous laughter. I wear his wedding ring under my mother's ring. He's with me every day. HMH: Leather Apricot Cardamom Tobacco, Sweet/Pipe
  4. Two ideas with one question attached to each, regarding a note. Healing Peace: Bergamot Moss-wet Violet..or..some other fresh, velvetyness? Vetiver Thinking: morning stroll-barefoot- deep in the mossy forest after a night rain, raindrops dripping from leaves in the breeze, drifts of violets in dappled light. Orbs and Tassels Pumpkin-sweet Apple Cider Oats Wheat..or..Dry Grasses? Thinking: Driving, windows down, along the gravel road, cornstalk sentinels to either side. Heading to the farm market/orchard to pick up apples; stone fruit; squash; corn, meal, and shocks. Dust coming through the windows at the stop sign, rocks kicking up and hitting the undercarriage on the way up the hill. Still hot and dry during the day, but the nights are cool enough for flannel shirts. Harvest festivals are just around the corner, and the anticipation is killing me. Trip to the farm market/orchard will have to do today.
  5. Ordered several samples, including Vienen; Pajama Island; Super Happy Fun Time; Orchid Sensuelle; Phero Charged Money Potion. Absolutely love every one of the samples. Ordered two full bottles of Vienen. Probably going to order full bottles of Pajama Island and Phero Charged Money Potion. Shockingly, I have nothing like Phero Charged Money Potion or PJ Island. Thankfully, there's a remedy for that.
  6. @dolphindolls, you betcha! I wore this again a couple of days ago in high heat and humidity. The orchid had more to say and the conversation lasted a good while.
  7. The parcel arrived..today. That was record time, LPMP Crew! I have worn the sample size on three occasions over the last week, and every time, every.single.time, people have asked, "Something smells so good/amazing/really good, what am I smelling/what is that? I'd hold out my wrist and ask, "Is this what you're smelling?" There was always a yes, followed by, what IS that?/I've never smelled anything like that before/Oh my god, what IS that? Where did you get it? Comments about the scent ranged from light and fresh, to warm, to to intoxicating, to "Mmmmmmmm". Sent your website to them. Hope they fall as hard for LPMP as I did, all those many years ago. 💞
  8. Retried this today. Figured the travel shock had calmed, so I'd give it a go-and it is beautifully balanced. I began by gently mixing the perfume in the vial, which honestly does make an impactful difference. Upon application, the Chocolate Ganache was not prominent, but rather an accompaniment to the orchid. As the scent blooms-about 10 minutes in-the orchid is the star of the show. The banana and vanilla begin to step forward and soften the orchid. The chocolate has stepped back, but acts as a warming base. At 20 minutes, the orchid and banana (ripe, and headed toward a rich, boozy quality) are equal players, bringing the scent toward a truly tropical feeling. At 30 minutes, the coconut and vanilla have combined to create a swirling atmospheric effect, both anchoring and elevating the orchid and banana. The Chocolate Ganache has reappeared. At 40 minutes, this is a beautifully balanced five-part tropical harmony.
  9. *ETA* There is no lavender in Pajama Island. Well, that explains everything! Ya know, it helps if you actually read and comprehend the entire description, especially the ingredients. 🤦‍♀️ Head..desk..thud...repeat. So soft and so relaxing. Often, lavender- I repeat, there is NO lavender in Pajama Island- can go spike-sharp on my skin, but this variety is the perfect "Put your head on that floofy pillow and drift away to Dream Land" lavender- again, there is NO lavender in Pajama Island. It reminds me of the pink lavender my friend grows in Orgeon- but is NOT in Pajama Island. The tonka and coconut are lightly toasty-warm and snuggly. Not too feminine for men at all, but certainly a scent women can just smoosh into and cloud float. Lovely. Anywho, this is an island where PJs are a thing, and that's alllll good.
  10. Vienen is exquisite. On my skin, I think it blooms in exactly the manner it was intended. I'm not bragging; I'm celebrating this good fortune. Please, read my review. Btw, I already placed an order for myself. You may now fight over the rest. 😉 Mara, you continue to amaze and mystify. Thank you for your glorious magic.
  11. This is another scent I need to have reviewed. Love the idea of tobacco, earth, and wood. Tell me all about this.
  12. I need for someone to review this. I can't do heavy resins on my skin, but I have one of Mara's diffusers. I can absolutely enjoy that. Does this run sweet, or more like dark, Luxardo cherries?
  13. Oops. See ETA review below, please. Thanks, Luna.
