WHAT IS THIS INEFFABLE OTHERWORLDLY BLISS I'm afraid of lilies and leather so this never called to me. But it knocked me over. It's SO pretty and SO queenly. It should be mandatory wear for women at or in royal weddings or the academy awards. It feels too special to be worn at any other times/places. It should be kept exclusively in a cut-jewel bottle. It's not that badass on me - the leather never came out in any identifiable way - but maybe it's why it made me stand up straighter and feel very confident and ... authoritative. The whole time It had a nonstop phero-like effect, maybe something like a cross of Pop Potion and LFM.

I don't like ANY of the notes in this but when I put it on I went "Ooooo." Yet again this is why you try EVERYTHING on. It was intriguing from beginning to end. I could not have named a single note to save my life - all I knew was FROOT. It smelled very dead-even unisex on me. A tiny bit of edge from I assume the acai, which is not obvious as itself – it does read as freshness more than anything. Smooth and opaque - it smelled like a rich opaque yellow on me most of the way. It wore pretty close and had disappeared within 3 hours, though I was sweating so maybe it burned off more quickly than normal.

SWOON IS RIGHT My nose no idea what the saffron is. This reminds me more than anything of Sensual Harmony. This is the sandalwood perfume for people (like me!) who don't like sandalwood. It's so luxuriant. It reminds me of Flaming June. It's yards and yards of heavy golden apricot silk warmed by body heat. LisaJ IMO this is SO lfm.....

I DON'T like white florals mostly, but this is sooo pretty. It's actually fairly foody on me - kept thinking of white cake with white frosting and candied flowers. Very summery on me. ETA it does not smell like cake. It just smells like what a beautiful white cake with flowers on it LOOKS like. Fondant icing.

Well it's confirmed I'm a hedione ho. This made me swoon, and I dislike lily of the valley- on me it usually makes me think of the air freshener in a gas station bathroom. The musks are dreamy and make this feel slinky.

This is utterly fascinating. Yes it's very recognizably black licorice up front - and how - but salty licorice. I realize that's what it says on the tin. But I hadn't gotten my brain around it AT ALL til trying it. It's like an interesting math problem that you just want to think about all day. Sniffed it constantly. Its mood is fairly serious on me, in a way that it'd be at home in a boardroom. Wet it wasn't masculine OR feminine or "unisex" on me. It just was what it was. It made me think of Cruella de Vil's hair and general color scheme. During drydown it turned more "unisex" in a very upscale Italian way. I don't know how else to explain it. It evoked a gorgeous black-haired male Italian fashion model in exquisitely cut custom oxford linen shirt and pants in the summer at a beach resort. It didn't smell masculine really - it just was the scent equivalent of that person, and he would TOTALLY wear this and slay. Hard to explain. I know he's not Italian, but like this: I don't tend to like masculine or even unisex scents on me but loved this.

As it tends to do my skin immediately turned this into lemon pledge. Smeared with sugared coconut and enjoyed it more.

IF I WERE WORLD EMPEROR I WOULD FORCE EVERYONE TO BUY THIS. It doesn't matter if you like jasmine or not (I sort of don't). It doesn't matter whether you like PERFUME. It is extreme perfection. It's not just a paragon of jasmine- it's a paragon of perfume. It, like, should represent all perfumity and all HUMANITY in that capsule that we shoot out to other galaxies to represent planet earth. Even though its a floral, it's so good that it transcends categories. It's sweet and succulent like sucking on honeysuckle (doesn't smell like it). It's nectar. I kept thinking "this is a perfume for all people of all times, at all times."

None of these notes is my favorite but I LOOOVE this. It's lush, golden, and languorous. It and/or the SS4W are making me feel like a lioness. Feels like Totem Tiger and similarly makes me think of Charlize Theron's J'Adore campaign. This puts the commercial perfumes it somewhat evokes to total shame.

Agree with others - Bermuda breakfast is a maniacally sunny GRAPEFRUIT fest with the other notes singing backup. This is more evenly fruit/floral balanced and actually "feels" sweeter than Bermuda breakfast without actually *smelling* sweeter, prob because not as tart due to less grapefruit. Bermuda breakfast is madly twirlingly happy; halcyon is a few notches more sedate but still unmistakably sunny. Bermuda is sort of a Barbie version of Halcyon:)

Immediately wet I said aloud "blech" as I absolutely hate black licorice twizzlers and that's what I smelled- and yet there was something boldly compelling about it (in sort of an indolic way - NOT that it smelled like that, but that same kind of perverse primitive sub-rational deep attraction) and I was intrigued and didn't want to wash it off. But if I hated it so much WHY DID I COMPULSIVELY SNIFF IT EVERY THIRTY SECONDS FOR THE NEXT TEN HOURS AND WHY AM I CONSIDERING FB? HUH? HUH? It morphed a lot over the hours, better and better, until at the very end, an only faintly licorice-licked creamy skin scent of one's dreams remained.

I LOVE the exceptional bitterness of the coffee in this. Anyone who likes 80%+ cacao chocolate MUST try this. It definitely isn't a cozy curl up by the fire winter type hot coffee drink ... more than anything it makes me think of espresso granita. ETA I just noticed this has mint - on me it didn't show up as itself, but must have been contributing to the chilly vibe. Will enjoy looking for it next time!

Everything Bella said, for me as well ? I kept looking for the notes I love and trying to focus on them but I got artificial vanilla plastic (like a scented doll) slash dried spit. Clearly a chemistry thing as this occasionally happens to me with vanilla. Weep

OMG the "paint me like one of your French girls" cat......I can't

☺️ So mystery, much anxious await!

I have no idea what I did but I'm sure you're welcome?????????

I don't even know where to begin. First of all, can anybody handle the label's cuteness? I can't. Secondly - the antipiggy scent was a surprise love for me- my nose-brain couldn't put it together on paper, but on, it is so fresh and happy and uplifting. But wanting a nonphero version, I figured why not add coconut while I'm at it because I apparently can't not have coco in anything. WELL, and sure I say this about every coconut, but this is the best coconut ever. It is the ubercoconut. It's the chewy coconut meat AND the coconut water AND a little bit of the warmth and nuttiness of the husk AND coconut cream AND just a lick of suntan oilness. The PM's artistry has made the coconut play with both the apple and banana at, like, a molecular level, where each of them makes all the others an even better version of itself. There is no other word for it than that magic. I could wear this anywhere and anytime. Day or night. Work or social or playtime. It would be fantastic B&B. Thirdly ... I had no expectation that it would have anti-piggy effects, not being the original scent blend after all. But when I put it on, I happened to be in the middle of a compulsive emotional snacking fit, and this scent stopped it dead. My theory is that the original notes did the trick, and because coconut smells so gratifyingly fatty it made me feel satisfied. So it does functional WORK in addition to being just a wonderful experience !!

The beauty of the texture of the massage butter cannot be overstated. It is unique. TDF

how great for travel - thank you!

sounds wonderful- thank you. last question- can it be used as a regular soap too, not just shampoo? Apologies if this was already answered elsewhere but it's not turning up for me......

Shampoo bars?? How did I miss this? PM, what's in them, and what flavors do they come in- just the cotton candy peach for now?

I blind grabbed this today and cried because there is not much left. It is now a darker chocolate than I remember, dark chocolate fudge now, a 72% dark undercooked fudge brownie. The fruity violet is as juicy as ever. The whole thing is MUCH louder than I remember, as well- a very good thing- absolutely loving it- I'm moving through the world in a cloud of pinky purple chocolate glory. Something about the fruit and the loudness now, just so perfectly evokes the mood of the Burton movies - whimsy with a distant but deep shadow of macabre/creepy/off-kilter over it. It matches the label more than ever now. It's stunning. Enjoying the aging of LPs makes them a present that just keeps on giving.

This makes me feel like Angelina Jolie's Maleficent looks.

This is sooooo yummy. One of my very favorite LP bananas. The apple definitely reads as a grannysmith to me. I did not notice it had mega-watt, which I don't really have a handle on. I put it on at night and it made me feel like it was sunny daytime and I had slept well and I was full of vim and vigor.

Didn't think this was up my alley so I only just tried it today for the first time and immediately said out loud GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY, THIS IS SO PRETTY. Based on nothing but the name and having totally forgotten the notes, I expected something unisex or male-leaning, sage-heavy, and soapy. Instead on me it is very opaque, very white, blooming, booming. It's densely creamy but not in a foody way. It evokes powderiness in scent but not texture. It also feels extremely confident and optimistic / forward-looking. Magnolias are one of my favorite blooms to look at, but smell like fresh poo to me. But this at least twice now that Molly and PM have made me heart-eyes over a magnolia scent. Magic!! It reminds me of Mme President NOT because of the scent but because of its confidence-makingness, and because I can't think of an occasion, time of day, etc., where it wouldn't be not just appropriate but fabulous. Wish there were more.
