Eggers Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'm not sold on this one just yet. I'd hoped I'd love it, but I don't. Or maybe it just doesn't love me. In the vial it smelled pretty and sweet, and I thought, "Oh yeah!". But when I applied it, all the sweetness disappeared and all I was left with was a sour dried ginger smell. I'm going to put it away, 'cause my perception of it might be a little skewed. (I noticed over the last couple of days that a few of my perfumes smelled "off", so I'm going to assume this is cycle-related)). I'll try it again in a week or so, and see how we fare. I want the hazelnut, dammit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggers Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 My LP Pink & LP Spring '11 smelled "dusty" when usually they smell freaking delicious, so I'm guessing the cycle. I'll try again soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiea Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 OH MY GOD. So I took a while to test this out because sniffed in the trial vial, this was all sugar to me... and I don't like overly sweet perfumes. But OMG ON MY SKIN IT'S NOT. It's all yummy spices and wow. It just needs a bit of pumpkin and I'd smell like the most wonderful (NOT too sweet) pumpkin spiced latte. OMG. Just... SO DELICIOUS. Damnit, another fb to go on my "to buy" list which is long enough. This is Garland and Lace with WAY more spice. LOVE IT. (must be the gingerbread and spices) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuTrix Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 YEAH! GOT MY LP ORDER TODAY - and my fb of Glitter Kissed..SO YUM! So making an EoW boosted spray of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergist Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 This smells foody and a bit chocolate-y to my nose. I like the gingerbread, but I'm scared of the hazelnut. The glitter is pretty though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphindolls2 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I just got this as a sample and its really great. I love how the spices amp on me over time and then then scent sticks around for a very long time. I boosted my sample with BBM and it was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella15 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I like that idea, DD... I need to use my BBM more often, I'm gonna try that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuTrix Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I like to shake the spray I made boosted with EoW to watch the glitter sparkle, LOL! I don't see the glitter on when I apply though??? But it's pretty in the bottle...I get distracted by shiny things I LUUUURV this one....smells delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergist Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I know what you mean NuTrix. I think glitter in perfumes just makes them feel so... well... special. Even if I can't see it on my skin I just love taking out bottles or samples and shaking the glitter around in them. Snow Musk is my favourite for this, it just looks so swirly and pretty when I shake it. Is it maybe because this one has actual mica instead of just glitter? (Or are glitter and mica the same thing? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOC Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Love the mica in the sniffee vial. However, the spices do not agree with my nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StacyK Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I tried this sniffie ( a few months ago) without knowing the exact notes. I knew it was a holiday scent so the general spice accord was a no brainer. But I really loved this scent compared to some of the others with similar spice notes. The marshmallow root is just a devine sensual addition.. I love marshmallow root, another one of my scent realizations here with LP. This scent is family friendly and perfect for a little holiday striptease with the S. O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuTrix Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Wore this creamy gooey ginger snap cinnamon delight today! EEEE GADS! What a ginger cookie dream! I've been huffing myself ALL DAY LONG...and I'm still huffing myself tonight! YUM! This is so comforting and warm and sugar creamy goodness...just pure YUM!

halo0073 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 This is not a strictly holiday scent for me because I like gingery treats year round. The spices are even a bit more intense now from aging. Wet they are so hot and dry I almost wondered what I was thinking, but then they dry and the marshmallow comes out and softens everything so nicely. I discovered my BF doesn't like gingery smells at all so I will wear this just for me. But that's what i usually do anyway so no biggie. I have a feeling I will be wearing this alot in the Autumn months ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amalthea1978 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Finally tried a sample of this that I got in a trade, and OMG...yet another to go on the fb wish list! I can't say enough good things about this lp! It smells amazing - the gingerbread really sticks out, but to me it doesn't seem too "Christmas-y" and I'd wear it probably all autumn and winter. One of the problems I have alot is scents not staying too long on my skin, but I definitely got a full day out of Glitter Kissed. A couple of my other fbs are jumping out of the cart to make way for this one, especially now that I read in this thread that it's almost gone. I can't miss out on this one, it's just too beautiful.

NuTrix Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 YUM! Wearing this today and it is just ginger bread scrumptiousness! That yummy cookie blast at application makes my eyes roll back into my head. I LOVE the label too! Mostly just huffing myself now though....maybe I should go get some BMM and layer it to complete that craving for dunking ginger snaps in milk that this has created....

NuTrix Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 ^^^ I would tell you I'm sorry except that...I'm NOT, Muhahaaaa!!!! ...and I'm sure you'll love it if you like sugary, cinnamon ginger snap/bread type flavors and scents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vladmyra Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Plus it has the word glitter in it, and I am like a bird that collects shiny objects. Especially when I'm into the DHEAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lainey Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 So on first putting this on, I was a little overwhelmed by how sweet it was. And I thought it had cinnamon in it, before I looked at the notes. But obviously what I was smelling was ginger (which is more pleasing to my nose). After not too long, it settled down and I just smelled like a gingersnap cookie all day. It wasn't very strong. Nice if you're into smelling like cookies. I am not--I have just barely accepted that sometimes I like to smell like cake --so this isn't really a scent for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
