hearts Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I love the cherry in this. Sometimes pumpkin scents go too candle-y on me. But I'm really loving this scent. Starts off very cherry-pumpkin and settles into marshmallowy sugar. This is for sure a Halloween version of pink sugar. Glad I went for a full bottle!

Calii Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I am waffling on getting a full bottle,unless maybe a spray,boosted with Cougar hmmm the cherry amps a bit too much on me but it is still really yummy... I do like Sparkle Fuchsia better and fortunately still have a stash but but but,if I wait it might be too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBear Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I'm glad I did a "cooling off" period for this. The cherry doesn't last as long as I would like on me, and the long dry down is exactly like Sparkle Fuschia (good news for you SF lovers) which did not mesh with me. The first hour is extraordinary, though. I will happily use my sample!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, there seemed to be endless bottles in the cart. I took no chances as I prefer keeping oils to alcohol (SF). I layered OCCO Ambrosia over SF to have a "feel" of what MM smells like. As long as the cherry is sweet & juicy, I should not have a problem wearing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah see we had the exact same experience with this one! Â I was hoping the cherry would sweeten it up more, since I do like a pumpkin blend with a lot of sweetness (or with patchouli) but I compared this and SF side-by-side and they smelled almost exactly the same on me in the drydown.

Eggers Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Wearing this tonight for first time. It's all creamy cherries! Is this really along the lines of Sparkle Fuchsia? Yummers! BF came home from a Hallowe'en party about half an hour ago, gave me a big hug and said, unprompted, "You smell like Christmas!". It does smell really, really good. Creamy, silky, and warm. And cherries! I'm starting to think Mara could put cherries in just about anything and I'd wear it. I wasn't aware that I loved that smell until I started wearing LPs. I'm turning into a cherry whore, and I don't care! Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergist Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Oh my... I'm so excited to try this one! I just checked the cart as well and it is still coming up as essentially unlimited. I too really hope that's not just a mistake and suddenly there are 0 and I miss out on a full bottle. I need to try my sample first, which I should be able to do when I get to my post office next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is no point getting my mail redirected, I move around so much a redirection would soon be redundant, and at least this way I know that no matter where I'm living, I will return to that area every so often so it will get checked eventually... just takes a while sometimes!

Mrschrissyrez Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Umm, so I might like Sparkle better than Midnight. I need to do a little more testing to be sure though. I still love MM, and I'm planning on getting a bottle boosted with cougar. I'll post back when I have a more firm opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenwing Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 i got cherry when wet but now i just got spices, mostly cinnamon. i get how it has the same feel as Sparkle but i think i like this one better.let see how it ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halo0073 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I did MM 1 part to about 2 parts Sveet Tooth. I have a feeling LadyV did them more 50/50 because she thought it smelled like Sparkle Fuschia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyVictoria Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I did more Sveet Tooth which amped up the spices on me and the cherry was more pink and brighter sparkly. This is a great combo Raq- you should at least get a sample of MM because I know you will be pissed if you end up loving it and then it's gone then you are going to cry and bake something and eat all of it.

ElizabethOSP Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) Now this. This one I am fascinated with. I, too, get the Sparkle Fuchsia on extreme drydown...but it's like it's overlaid with a sugar glaze. And make no mistake: I am addicted to SF, so it's all good. Early on, I get lots of cherry, which barely squeaks by too-much-for-me as it settles back just in time. Then I get a breath of SF, which goes away immediately. Then it starts playing around with smelling like Jubilee--which I'm head-over-heels for--but it's not quite Jubilee either! So what Midnight Masquerade *is* for me is a member of the Sparkle Fuchsia Jubilee family and I love it! I keep fantasizing about amping or layering it with any number of pheros. Very YUM!

Invidiana Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 This definitely has that Sparkle Fuchsia vibe--seriously, I LOVE all of Mara's SF variations--but with a stronger cherry note than strawberry. Like EOSP said that cherry is reminiscent of Jubilee, with its delicious juicy tartness. It's like creamy cherry marshmallows on top of pumpkin pie filling, all covered in sparkling pink sugar that may be sweet, but never cloying. The pumpkin here is not a spicy pumpkin--maybe the barest hint of spice but it doesn't amp--but s mooth, creamy pumpkin that blends perfectly with the other notes. Another one of those I want to eat. No-brainer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrschrissyrez Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I'm getting this in a spray, but I've changed my mind about boosting it. It's time I purchased more UN Pheros. I have a fb of oil too. Will one of each be enough? I'm nervous because of the Sparkle debacle... Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xev Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Okay, I just tried the MM layered with ST trick you all have been talking about. Very nice! By itself, ST turned all dry spice, but the MM is keeping it all juicy and sweet so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
