  1. Wow, this one is SO NOMMY! Wet, I get a strong blast of the marzipan and then the pistachio, but they back off fairly quickly to allow the raspberry and coconut to peek through. OMG, does anyone remember those raspberry snack cakes called Zingers?? It's making me want one real bad, lol! The coconut doesn't hang around too long though, and I'm left with a sweet, vanilla-raspberry with a hint of almond, which is totally fine with me, I LOVE raspberry. The almond is staying true, and not going wonky with my skin chemistry! Absolutely delicious.
  2. To me, this is nothing like Sensual Harmony. SH to my nose was a very opulent, buttery, golden ylang ylang with a stronger sandalwood that morphed into a damp smelling sandalwood with my skin chemistry. This is more of a light, powdery, slightly sweet vanilla with a hint of warmth from the nutmeg, and the ylang ylang and sandalwood stay very understated in the background to give it a cozy feeling. I usually amp woods, but not in this one, yay! Another winner this month.
  3. Eggers, that's sooo cute! Did you notice that Vallhalla for the men this month has Open Windows??? It smells pretty good, too. Not "cola-smellin' stuff" but still, not bad!
  4. LV, I was just thinking the same thing! If Sneaky Clean is the luxe soap in a five-star hotel, then this is the fluffy Egyptian cotton towels. A fresh, clean cotton/fresh linen fragrance. I was prepared for the warning about the cops being evident when wet, (ala Red Lace) but I'm not smelling them at all! This would be a perfect scent to wear to work, but I'm not sure how Sexology would go over, lol. Oh well.
  5. Hmm, I will have to agree with everyone else on the odd, medicinal quality of the lavender in this. But I have learned to hang on to scents to let them age a bit, and 90% of the time, they turn into something entirely amazing, as I am hoping for here. So I will be back with a hopefully better review later.
  6. vladmyra, what a great review! I flat-out love this one. My favorite of the month. Usually, I have a difficult time finding something fresh that doesn't end up too "blue" or too "green". This somehow ends up being both and yet neither, so hard to describe. I love the blackberry in this, not too tart or syrupy, just right, hovering delicately in the background. A clean, comforting scent, and with Open Windows? Sold! I'm gonna be wearing this one a lot.
  7. Lick of Pink has rose in it, and I know you love that one!
  8. I jumped on this one unsniffed, and I'm so glad I did! Wet, this reminds me a bit of A Touch of Cerise, it's got that same juicy, fruity vibe to it. The rose is very youthful, light and fresh, and the lime and mint aren't really detectable, they just add to the juicy freshness of the fragrance. After the fragrance dries down a bit, the rose comes out a little more, but still retains the light and fresh character. I was sad that I snoozed on Enduring Appeal, but I'm glad I have this, 'cause I like it better. Oh, I noticed in the description for this on the home page, they do mention cherry as being in this, but it's not listed in the notes.
  9. Ooohhh, what IS this??? I gotta admit, on paper, I thought this would not be a Sprite scent, but how wrong I was! It starts out with a hint of sweet anise, a hint of leather, and something woody, the wormwood i'm guessing. Soon after, I can pick up the coriander and oud, just a hint. Then it starts to sweeten up a bit with the vanilla and cocoa absolute. Honestly, there are five notes in here I usually amp into the stratosphere, but they are all playing so nice together! It's lightly sweet, but deeply sophisticated. Mmmm, addictive.
  10. I got my package of joy today!!! I want to give you a HUGE Thank You! Your generosity went WELL beyond, everything is amazing. The fragrances are exquisite, the bags are gorgeous, and the extras are *Very* generous, and much appreciated. Thank you, Thank you!!
  11. Blackcat, Lolz, this is my situation at the moment, but I said what the hell, I'm gonna try Bang anyway! Also, Heart & Soul is amazing for work, it gives you a sweetheart/BFF type of vibe, and the guys seem to like it, too. It's one of my favorites. Good luck choosing!
  12. I'm looking forward to this one, too! I dragged my feet on ordering Enduring Appeal, and missed out, but not this time. I wonder if it has a Jack's Rose kinda vibe with the fruits and rose?
  13. WooHooooo!!!! Just got home from a very trying day at work, and BAM! New Releases!!! Ordered the monthly sampler, phero trials of Bang! and SS4W, (I chickened out on trying Dom!) and full bottles of Tickle Tickle, Pizzaz, and UN Levitation! :banana058:
  14. Yaaaayyyy!! I LOVE me some Cougar!
  15. Ha, so I was slathered in this today, and went to Wally World to buy some light bulbs and a baking dish. As I was checking out the baking dish options, a 20-something male employee stopped and asked if I needed any help finding anything. (!!!) And if I was looking for storage containers, he had one set left in the back that was still on rollback, great deal, was I sure I didn't want it? Is there anything else I can help you find? OMG, I WAS NOT WEARING PHEROS WITH THIS!!! Unsolicited employee assistance has never, ever, EVER happened at any Wally World I have been to, no matter the state, city, whatever. It was totally Sweet Pussycat, I could see his nostrils flaring a tiny bit when he inhaled!
  16. Me too! I would love to have a fragrance boosted with Bang!
  17. Flying Potion is FAB. First, I get the licorice and grapefruit, along with the creamy sweet marshmallow. After a while, the spices come out to mingle with the marshmallow, but don't take over, which is great because I usually amp spices in everything. My nose isn't identifying the ylang at all, even though I can easily pick it out in other fragrances I have, maybe it's a different type? It's fluffy, creamy and warm, the PERFECT fragrance for fall. I've sprayed the inside of my jacket with this, so now I'm not so bummed that t-shirt weather is over and I'm stuck bundled up for the next 6 months!
  18. Just curious, how does this, if at all, compare to tyvey's smoked ham?
  19. OMG, hearts, I received this a while ago, and forgot to review it. I totally LOVE this, if I close my eyes and inhale, it really is like I'm at a gourmet cupcake boutique about ready to buy their entire stock of these!! Such a light, fluffy vanilla/pink marshmallow. Oh, and the violet note in this is to DIE FOR. I do love me some violets, yes! It really does seem like it's decorating the top of your vanilla marshmallow cupcake, Mara is a genius! And, it also goes GREAT with Heart & Soul. It's so funny at work when someone is standing next to me and says,"Mmmm! What smells SO good! Like vanilla!" Then I suck them in with H&S, heh. (......What? If you knew some of the peeps I work with, I'm doing my co-workers a HUGE favor!) Fantastic creation, hearts!!
  20. My budget this month is miniscule, and I only can get ONE thing, so I just ordered this!! I love that Levitation phero, and it will be nice to have a fall scent with it so I can tuck my treasured Levitation fragrance away for springtime. Super excited!
  21. How is the spice level in this one compared to Midnight Masquerade and Unreasonable Pumpkin? I tend to amp spices, but I can wear MM and UP. Is it spicier than these? How about the marshmallow as compared to MM?
