  1. LP Red doesn't have any apricot in it as far as I know. I always get a cinnamon vanilla incensey sort of fragrance from it.

     

     

    I was always under the impression that LP: Red was a varient on LP: Original; to my nose there are a lot of similar notes, including apricot. It's like they have the same base note, but Red has a whole bunch of extra notes on top. It could just be my imagination, though!

  2. I first tried LP: Red in something like 2008, and I'm pretty sure it's been subtly changed between batches since thing. I've recently become a convert to OCCO Red and Red Lace, but I'm still scared of the apricot in LP: Red - it's just at my limits in Red Lace. Could anyone give me some idea of how strong the apricot is in the more recent LP: Red batches are? Thanks very much :D

  3. I don't get a lot of chocolate from this, but it is definately a sweet-spice scent. Honestly, with the cinnamon I'm smelling I'm really surprised that it doesn't irritate my skin at all! The hazelnut seems to be the heart note, with the oud just in the background as the base. I love candy scents, but they usually (like this one) eventually turn on my skin, which is a problem with me, not the perfume. This is certainly sweet, but not really a 'candy' scent. Maybe the hazelnut has come out now that it's aged, but it's a nice, 'round' scent.

  4. This is quite almond-pastey on me. As in, it smells like paste. Not in a bad way, but it's quite unexpected. It reminds me a little of a type of Danish almond cookie. It's a nice, soft almond and vanilla scent, but it's not actually foody. Imagine an almond milk and vanilla bath wash. I don't get any fruit in this at all, which is nice because I amp berries like woah. It's a great skin scent, but it does turn a little on my skin (which a lot of vanilla scents do, boooo!).

     

    If you're after a subtlely sweet, non-foody vanilla, think about giving this one a try!

  5. After a few months to settle, this is amazingly smooth and fluffy. It reminds me a lot of Sugared Pure, but its not as sweet and is much more subtle. I've always found that Sugared Pure is almost too sweet and rich, but Sogni Incanti is tempered by the liquorice without being overly liquoricey. The liquorice floats at the edges of the scent, and grounds it just enough to stop it from becoming overly foody and sickly sweet.

     

    It wears pretty close to the skin, but isn't a faint scent. It's the sort of scent that you could wear in an office, because people would only catch it in little wisps if you walk past them. It's very much a skin scent rather than an all-out strong perfume.

     

    I have to admit that I was disappointed when I first sniffed the bottle, but now it's incredibly nice.

  6. I've tried a bunch of LPMP phero blends, but I keep coming up with a problem; the dreaded pee smell. For me, it is a very distinct (if faint) smell of dried urine that is close enough to the skin that others don't notice it, but it annoys me because I keep trying to hunt down where the cat took a whiz on the carpet, only to find out that I'm the source of the stink. Oddly, I don't have problems with Cops or EoW, but a bunch of other blends seem to lead to the pee smell.

     

    The blends that end up like pee on me (that I've found so far) are; Heart and Soul, Treasured Hearts, Mother's Little Helper, Swimming with Sharks and Stone Cougar. The most common phero that I can see between them is the androsterone, so I'm wondering if that could be the culprit.

     

    The blends that DO work on me (with no pee smell) are; TMI, Blatant Invitation, Cuddle Bunny, Gotcha, Lace, and EoW. None of those seem to have andrasterone, which is why I'm wondering if it's the problem.

     

    Has anyone else had this kind of reaction to androsterone?
