Beccah Posted September 24 The quintessential conjuring of that special observance...when the veil is thin and anything can happen upon a magical mystical Samhain night. Evocative of Autumn leaves and earth and air, with just the slightest trace of the last of the summer fruit. Our signature Love Potion base of creamy vanilla and boozy vanilla bean, dark amber and patchouli is enhanced with notes of earthy vetiver and cedar, green leaf and hedione, fruity accents courtesy of numerous varieties of fig as well as apricot and kumquat, tarragon and ginger, with a tiny touch of honey and a spark of lemon on top. A Love Potion Variant any gender can wear! The twilight produces the mystery we seek when the curtain parts and reveals to us that which was previously obscured. Wondrous and eldritch wandering as we will through the night and the dark spangled above with cold glittering stars. A swirl of leaves upon the wind carrying the sound of chanting and the crackle of flame what rituals and reasoning are practiced here in ancient arts and arcane rites. Shades and shadows are everywhere a shiver down your spine the very air vibrating with phantasmal promise. Come away, come away all and so surrender to the tenebrous grasp of Samhain. Scent: Earthy and Autumnal with a rich vanilla base. Magickal Meanings of Ingredients: VANILLA ~ Aphrodisiac, inspires happiness, playfulness, sexual arousal, lust, vitalizing.

Kayla Posted October 1 This is an incredibly beautiful scent! When it first goes on, I smell the fresh greens and lemon. After about 10 minutes, it settles in to a well-blended, fruity-earthy deliciousness. This is not typically the type of scent that I gravitate towards, but I can't stop smelling wy wrists. It's intoxicating! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luna65 Posted October 1 Admittedly the opening of this makes me say, "What is this?" but not in a bad way, just in a way which is unlike any other LP variant I've ever experienced (and that is pretty much almost all of them at this point). It starts out with a very clean bright herbal-fruity kind of thing...sort of like Spring Thyme, maybe? But then, as it goes on, I get more of the woodsy thing happening. There's a really intriguing rich depth to it, I think because of how the fruity accents are coming up against the wood/resinous notes. It is most definitely unisex - guys, don't hesitate to try this one, seriously. However, it is probably the least LP-variant variant, but I like that it's experimental in a way.

Potion Master Posted October 1 It doesn't remind you of 2007 at all? I was kinda going for 2007, but with an earthier feel, because I personally love to wear earthy notes. @luna65 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kayla Posted October 2 (edited) I am wearing this again tonight because I slept so soundly last night with it on. In the beginning, this reminds me a bit of Coquette (maybe the same type of fig mixed with vanilla?). I really love it and am probably going to get another bottle because it is so comforting to me. ETA: Plus, I am in love with the label! There is something enchanting about it, and I love the birds. Edited October 2 by Kayla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What reminds me of AE 2007 is the original Raven Moon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phergineer Posted October 5 I tried this last night at the New Release party. At first, it is very earthy, it reminded me of Haunted Hollow and Punxsutawney Immortality elixir. As it dries down, it becomes warmer and sweeter, such a pleasant surprise! Perfect for a 5 month pregnant woman 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tyvey Posted October 9 This collection is killing me. Another that on first sniff I was like “I don’t know about this one” turned out to become an obsession. It lasted ALL DAY. It defies tidy description. It morphed repeatedly, and I loved every stage. By turns fresh, sweet, mysterious, and soothing. It was almost freaky how much it kept changing personality. Incredible potion. I couldn’t stop smelling it for 14 hours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oceanjewel Posted October 10 I don't know how to describe this one either except as my favorite LP variant so far. On me its less sweet than the others and has an outdoorsy quality, but not in an overly masculine way. I'm also getting a "catnip for men" effect when I wear this 😈 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beccah Posted October 11 I couldn't pass this one up, it is autumnal & earthy. I love fig in perfumes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
