  1. I do not like fermented alcohol as they usually go wonky on my skin chemistry. @citrine mentioned that it gave off the Gimme Money vibe and so I got it some time back and finally broke it out to use and now that its aged, its soo good, the fermented alcohol hits now just at the beginning and then fades...

    I really like this now so much better now that it has aged...

    Very happy to have this again since I lost my other bottle in the fire.  So so good, Mara's Egyptian Musk type is the stuff of legend and a perfect ingredient in a vanilla-musk-sandalwood combo!

    @luna65, I remember years ago you saying how much you loved this blend, I'm not a fan of OCCO, but dang, I might have to buy a bottle of this one.....

    I know I haven't posted in quite a while but please, please bring back the Sugared Layerable single notes. I've been using the Sugared Cocoa Butter (sparingly) and it's such a comforting skin scent. I've also been wanting to try some of the floral notes as well like wisteria and lavender. They are so versatile for layering and creating fragrance combinations.

    I agree, I love the Sugared collection,  I'm constantly grabbing one of the sugared's to layer with another of my blends and they are awesome and so versatile. I always have a Sugared Orchid with me when I travel...

    Dear @dolphindolls2

    You made not just my day, but this year! Not sure that I deserve it though. I am really overwhelmed with gratitude with your gesture, you left me speechless and literally with tears in my eyes! Thank you for existing and for being so kind ❤️

    Dear @citrine,  Your an amazing person and I'm so glad I made you happy...take good care❤️❤️❤️

    Black Panther

    Rebrew commissioned by Dolphin Dolls, Label Image by AI, name by Lady V

    Lush orchid and juicy plum over sweet vanilla and musk with a dollop of dark and spicy amber attar in the base.

     

    This is my all time favorite brew Potion Master - Mara has ever done.  I have had multiple bottles of this blend over the years and this re-brew is spot on or even better than the orginial.

    I get the most hits from this blend and it stays on me forever.  I feel confident and ready to kick ass whenever I wear this....

     

    Orchid is my favorite note and I have purchased every blend that LP has made over the years but I find that Orchid with plum just gives the perfume that extra bit of sophistication. This is elegance in a bottle...

     

    So happy that I have enough of a stash to last me a few years with this re-brew...

    @dolphindolls2 I’m curious how you wear your scents? (Like what areas and how much) Maybe Onyx is right and it your chemistry, or maybe it is the way you wear them? I don’t tend to do the 2-3 lines of belly to cleavage. I usually do neck, black of neck, behind ears, wrists, and sometimes wrist to inner elbow. I’m also curious if the new version of black panther is close to the original? 

    @Femmefatale and @Onyx,

     

    After I shower and before getting dressed.  I take the bottle and do one large and long stripe down from my neck area to my belly button and then right under my breasts I place a side to side stripe across and then I place a stripe from my elbow to my wrist on each hand...I also put a small stripe down from my waist to my knee....I have found over the years this is the only way I get the scent to last on me.

     

    The NEW Black Panther is just as good or better then the original version from many years. Over the years there have been a few re-brews, so in total I have owned 23 bottles not counting the new stash I have...

     

  7. I'm so glad I got this blend, I was nervous as I do not like suntan oil perfumes, this is Florida in a bottle... I love love this blend so much, I close my eyes and I feel as if I'm walking along the beach, smelling all of the same scents I smell when I visit family in Florida each year...

     

    I so hope this blend gets remade again, this is truly a unique and very magical blend for those folks that love the beach and want to be transported back...

     

    @Amandathank you so much for creating this, I love this more than the blend I created for my beach experience...

    I thought of you when I reserved those two last bottles! Let me know if you want one!!! :)

    @citrine, I received my box of LP goodies on Monday but due to work travels, I just now got the opportunity to open the box and the first thing I see is a note from Mara saying you gifted me a bottle of Feather in the Wind.  This was such a thoughtful and lovely gift.  It came to me at a point when I truly needed it and I just want you to know how much I appreciated your generosity... Hugs and Kisses and thank you so much....

    I really appreciate what you wrote here! :Hug_emoticon:

     

    I have to tell you that, in the middle of the caos I've been lately, the one thing that helped me to take better care of me is Love Drawing potion. I went through that within a month and somehow it made me take better care of myself, watch what I eat, made myself go to bed early... Give it a try!!!!

    @citrine, I have not tried Love Drawing Potion, I will have to try that once I go thru a few of the bottles of perfume I have

    I did! I got half of all PEs. I was thinking of adding the 2nd bottle but since I haven't finished a single scent from LP since I joined and I have soooo many, I decided to pause for now

    @Mila,  it was so hard for me to limit the # of PE's that I purchased from the other selections once Mara opened it up for us to do that...Folks are so creative, I just know the notes that work on me and that's taken me quite awhile to figure that out LOL. So I was happy that I was able to give Mara the notes I wanted on my 2nd PE and have her use her magic to create an elegant scent that takes me back to Florida...

    I didn't think I would made a second order, but it ended up bigger than the first one. But I ended up getting almost the same things I got in the first one lol. I got 2 more sprays of Love Drawing potion, 2 extra bottles of my PE but in spray... I got 4 bottles of Darling Clementine and for that I am super happy and grateful! I also got small bottles of Serendipity and Road Opener! Oh Spike and Thorn as a freebie, due to @dolphindolls2 comments about it! :)

    @citrine, I so hope you love Spike and Thorn, I now use this for bedtime since I'm out of Feather in the Wind.

    @dolphindolls2 I love your Orchid Tropique scent memory. My PE is meant to invoke that Florida feeling too! It really is such a magical place isn’t it?!?! Clearwater beach/Tarpon Springs. I tend to hermit and get depressive in what seems like never ending snow here in the winter. My soul has always lived in the sand and sun and being in the ocean brought me a peace I never fully realized I was missing here in my snowy mountain town.🩵🌊

    @Amanda, The Gulf Coast of Florida is a very magical place and I feel so calm and peaceful when I'm there.  I love being in the sun but covered up, I never was a person that likes to lay in the sun for a tan, but rather the person that was outside all day under the umbrella looking out into the ocean.  I also get very depressed in the winter and in Michigan its seems like its a never ending winter always...  I'm so excited to try your blend...

    This is what I sent to Mara about my PE:

     

    xNOTES:
    1. yummy almond marzipan,
    2. vanilla cake
    3. creamy coconut,
    4. juicy raspberry.
    I'd like a PE where marzipan would be the main star, in front, then right behind it there is vanilla cake intertwining with creamy coconut, with juicy raspberry in the background.

     

    xTHE STORY BEHIND MY PE:

    Due to my daughters having problems and ended up in a hospital, my mental health too a huge hit. I started binge eating even more than before. In a few weeks I gained 20 kg and with 125 kg on me, I too had to go to the hospital because my obesity started causing me a lot of other health problems. My kids are great now and I am hoping it will stay that way. But my mental health took a hit. And my health. I let myself go long time ago, but I didn't realize the importance of that. And I need to start taking better care of myself. Better diet, more sleep and no sugar. So I wanted a PE that smells like a dessert, so that I can, in a way, still enjoy sweets. I'd like to name my PE 11 because my kids and I have that number in our birth dates, plus to me that number is connected to changes (I became a mom 22, my dad died when he was 55 and I was 33, my kids' dad left us on 9.9. ...). And I need a change desperately. The label photo is from a concert that my daughters and I went to on 8.8. I took that photo while the singer was talking about mental health and the tears just started coming, I couldn't stop. So I took a photo of him at that moment, as a reminder. 

    I apologize for TMI, just wanted to tell you the story behind the PE. I know this is "just" a perfume, but to me it will mean a lot more, as I will apply it every day and it will remind me, not of all the bad stuff that was happening this past weeks, but to take better care of me.

     

    I did find few days ago on youtube a video of that moment and the song, I'm so grateful someone posted it.

     

     

    @citrine, after reading your story, it resonated with me so much...I've not been taking care of myself and gained a bunch of weight, so I'm hoping that by purchasing a bottle of this, it will allow me to pivot and get myself healthy again.  I'm so sorry that your mental health took a hit and I so hope that this beautiful blend you created will bring you joy.  I'm still loving the blend you recommended to me last year to sleep --- Feather in the Wind w/ Phero B2.2 --- This scent takes me to a place of calm and serenity when I put it on... Thank you so much for creating this blend and sharing the backstory of why you created it, I truly will treasure this bottle...

    Post 1 of 3

    I love the name @Potion Master gave this creation of mine... This is the note I sent her below describing how I would like this PE to smell....

     

     

    ORCHID, MANGO, TUBEROSE, PLUMERIA, VANILLA-NON-FOODY.

    FOR THE BASE:    --- SWEET  SANDALWOOD  OR  MUSKY AMBER (not sure if a note can be musky / sweet amber)

     

    I'm going for a Luxurious / Elegant Floral that has a summer vibe and makes me feel like I'm at my happy place, visiting with relatives  at their condo, on the beach in Florida. ( I'm not looking for the feel of water accords, just that happy feeling of being on the beach hearing the waves crash in and smelling all of the tropical florals in the area. I love going to a favorite restaurant in town that allows us to stare into the Gulf of Mexico, while drinking a tropical floral smoothie)   

     

    I love these accords listed and if you could pick the 4 that you feel best showcases an Elegant Scent that is based with Orchid, my all time favorite sophisticated scent. For the base, I could not determine what would be best with these notes and my two favorite bases of yours are Sandalwood and Amber.  So if you feel the amber is not the right choice, use a sweet sandalwood.
