  1. I just wanted to toss out there that I am just finishing up my tub of cream and I love it. The suggested "use by" date was 10/2009. The integrity of the cream is still perfect and it smells just as good as the day it arrived. I probably have about 2 weeks of use left in it (I use a lot of lotion/cream this time of the year) and will definitely be planning what I am going to order next. The cocoa butter is a heavier cream designed for dry skin. It leaves me silky soft. There is a touch of greasiness for about 5 minutes after use until the oils fully soak into the skin. That may be partially due to the amount that I apply (slathering amount).
  2. I use Vain for that purpose. The name implies it all. It is protecting, strengthening and helps give you confidence.
  3. Welcome traderneil! You have entered the land of addicts...
  4. Welcome new members! This place is fantastic (and like Dolly said ADDICTIVE)...
  5. I can't believe there hasn't been a review of this one yet... This one is hard to describe, which might be the reason for the lack of descriptions. Or, perhaps folks don't want you to know how good it is until they have fully hoarded. This is a light creamy floral with a hint of woods to give it some depth. Aside from the marigold note, I love it. Marigold gives me a headache, so alas I can't wear this. I do love it and am sad to let my sample go.
  6. This one goes a little waxy on me. I am not sure which note is doing it.
  7. I get a very nice fruit scent. Not overly foody.
  8. The cinnamon in this is beautiful! It is slightly masculine, but not overly so. I love this. This is a great power scent and would be a good cover for any work scents (including the dominance phero).
  9. This is a super sexy combo! I love it! Red & Black. I totally get the cinnamon and deep resins. mmmmmmmmmm... there aren't enough m's for the mmmmmmm...
  10. I don't get the coffee directly. I do get the amber and berry notes. Beautiful. I love it.
  11. I smell spiced baked pears. delicious.
  12. The sweet juicy plums come out amidst the creamy pudding. This is very lickable. It is a little too foody for my taste, but delicious none-the-less.
  13. I love this! It is a SEXY scent for a man.
  14. The rebrew smells fantastic! Just as deliciously grapefruity as the original.
  15. I love the spices in this one. They are perfectly amped on my skin. mmmmmm.... I agree with Luna, someone can stuff my stocking... I can smell the hint of apple poking through after it dries down. mmmm....
  16. Updated 09/18/2010 This is a consolidated list of reviews for all the LPs I have tried. I have had to split my reviews, because my post was too big... For A-M, click here. Please keep in mind that this is just how these scents react with my chemistry. I would recommend reading the full reviews on these scents, don't just go with my experience. Nakai Nectar too much like melon for me Nasty Habits yummy amber. Very warm and inviting. Native Soil (2008) (hoarding) The cinnamon/sandalwood are the most predominate note on me throughout all of the layers. Weird though, this is the only one where the predominate notes sit behind everything else. They are a very solid and unwavering foundation. They combine for dry woodsy smell with a wonderful crackling cinnamon. I think it is the "dirt" that gives it that dry, dusty feel for me. The resins, spices and incence are definately there and come in and out in layers. Very nice and yummy. It is a warm scent that makes me feel cozy and safe (which is, of course, the intent). Naughty Minx I can definitely smell the anise, peppercorn and tobacco. This is a fairly complex fragrance when wet that is hard for me to describe. It is pretty sharp on the nose when wet. As it dries down, it softens, the tobacco sweetens and the resins come out. It is a little fruity in a subtle way. Naughty on the Nile This one is very mysterious. I see the similarity to Isis, but it is a lot softer. It has a more smoky sandalwood incense feel to it. It is not overwhelmingly incensey, but has a soft aura of smoke tendrils rising in the background. It is also a bit drier and less sweet. Very nicely done. I loved Isis and love this one as well. Very glad that I got a bottle of this one unsniffed. Naughty, Sweet & Dirty (Shelly B's) This one is far too honey for me. Neanderlicious This one is wonderful. I don't normally like scents with violets, but this one I like. It is deep and woody. Nekomusume The sweet juicy plums come out amidst the creamy pudding. This is very lickable. It is a little too foody for my taste, but delicious none-the-less. New Year's Evil Wet: all I can smell is siberian fir. Drydown: The fir is less prominate. Now I get the boozy inscence and fruit punch. Night of the Fae This one is green, yet wants to blossom into a fruity floral. The notes are there, just waiting to open. Nosfy's Aperitif Wow. Wet, this was very interesting. I could smell resins like they were standing up out of the scent waving their arms saying "hi, here I am". They weren't overly powerful, just demanding to be noticed. This scent gives me the image of 3-D in my mind. The notes are in noticeable layers and pop out, almost like a 3-D image. This is not at all a bad thing. It is unique and intriguing. It is standing before you with its arms crossed challenging your sense of smell. As it dries, the notes start to weave themselves together into a finely spun silken layer of scent that caresses your skin. It is sweet, but not sugary. It is like a catholic school girl standing before you as the picture of innocence, but you know better when you see the glint of danger in her eyes. Nox (hoarding) The raspberry came out on me first, followed by the vanilla and amber. Nice and warm. Nox 2009 The original NOX is one of my favorite scents, so I was hesitant to try the remake (mostly afraid that it wouldn't be as good). It is subtly different from the original. It is not a sweet and a little sharper. I love it. It is just different enough to justify having this one as well as the original. I love the new sharper edge in this one. Nymph! I really wanted to like this one. The waterlily is too strong on me. Any kind of lily is amped on me. When I first put it on (wet), I LOVED it. Then… my chemistry came into play. OdinClaus This one is definitely green. It smells like pine, but I don't think there is pine in it. Very strong wet, dries down to a soft forest scent. It is crisp and cool. I like it more than I expected to. It is uplifting, giving a burst of energy when I sniff it. This is a great winter scent. I did not expect to like it when I first put it on. It definately needs to dry and meld with your skin. I really enjoy it after it has dried down. Offering This is a light creamy floral with a hint of woods to give it some depth. Aside from the marigold note, I love it. Marigold gives me a headache, so alas I can't wear this. I do love it and am sad to let my sample go. Oidhche Shamhna Smelled just like caramel popcorn On the Boardwalk: Santa Carla 2009 I was a little skeptical of this one, since I was not a huge fan of the last version of Santa Carla. But, if I have learned anything over the last year as an LP customer, it is that the remakes are never the same as the original. So, I broke down and tried this anyways… And I am glad that I did. When I smelled it in the vial, I was still skeptical. I put it on my skin and let it sit for a minute or two before I sniffed it and was pleasantly surprised. The strong smoky leather note that I disliked in the original is much softer and less noticeable in this one. Still there, but not a predominant note on me. This one is a soft, dirty scent. It is the defiant side of your nature, that love of adrenaline and danger that lies just beneath the surface. It is the confidence you didn't know you had. It is the coy smile that slips across your face when you feel like doing something a little naughty. It is the spark of life in your eyes as you tip over that first unseen drop on your favorite roller coaster. With this one I had to describe the feelings it evoked rather than the notes. Those feelings capture how this smells to me… fantastic, daring and sexy – but not overtly. It is hovering beneath the surface just waiting for you to let it come out and play. One & Only (Aussie L's) (bottle) The vanilla is deep and warm. I can smell the rose and the citrus behind the musk. It is a wonderful combo. Orchidee de Peche (Jo Anna's) This one is very pretty. It is light and feminine. The orchids are noticable, but not overpowering. The other ingredients are very subtle so as not to overpower the orchids. Wonder light floral. I like it. PCMP: Phero Charged Money Potion Wet: peach, grape and sunflower. Sharp and fresh. Drydown: complex floral scented fruit cocktail with a splash of citrus. It is very pretty and feels sunny. Pandamaniac Wet, this one didn't really smell. I know that sounds odd. It just smelled wet. I don't even know how to describe that. Not like wet dog wet or even ocean breeze wet, but like a cool watery wetness. As it dries, the bamboo peaks out of the gentle rain. The other notes swirl in and out, but this really retains that scent of wetness that is very nebulous. It smells like fresh spring air after a gentle rain, the water is still evaporating off of the damp leaves of the bamboo stalks and the flowers. This one really embodies the element water for me. Peach, Honey & Orange Blossom This one is delicious. I was surprised that I liked this one due to the honey. The peach is perfectly. Fresh cut peaches combined with the perfect pale floral. Peppered Sexpot (Amanda's) (bottle) This is unique and yummy. The black pepper is a nice twist to this. The vanilla is there, swimming in the background. The brown sugar rounds the mix out. It is a just barely sweetened blend. Very nicely done! Persuasion Potion Nice floral with a base of green. The intent is fantastic. Phantom of the Trailer Park This one smelled like powdery soap on me. Phero Girl: Cougar I have not tested out the phero yet, but the fragrance is wonderful. The grapefruit is perfect. Not too strong, it is delicately balanced between tart, sweet and soft. The resins make a nice foundation and ensure a lasting effect. Phero Girl: Dominance Wet I got dark chocolate. After it dried down, I get a wonderful mix of deep rose and dark chocolate. Sexy and feminine at the same time. A great tempering to the intent of the phero! Phero Girl: regular sweet and inticing without smelling like candy. Very nice. The amber foundation warms the scent up nicely. Phero Girl: Super This one smelled like candy on me. Phero Girl: Wildflower something in this tickles my nose. Aside from that, I really love this scent. I think it is the tea or perhaps the orchid that tickles my nose and makes me sneeze. Pied Piper After this has dried down, I smell a thick chocolate syrup covering bananas. I get a faint whiff of maple every now and then. I can definately see why kids love this one. Pink Emerald (Esmeralda's) (bottle) I can really smell the heather in this one. It is nice and powdery when it dies down. Sweet, but not overbearing. It says "come over here and smell how sweet I am" in the softest whisper. Pink Sugared Vanilla & Lemon (Ann's) This makes me think of a pink lemonade made with vanilla sugar. Yummy. Pirate Bumbo Wonderful capture of the carribean without being overly fruity. Pithivier Very foody, for those that like that. Chocolate is the most dominate note on me. Not a cocoa butter chocolate, but dripping milk chocolate. The almond and vanilla are right there in the background. The chocolate is so amped on me that I can't smell the berries or violets in this. Oh wait... There they are. It takes about five to ten minutes, but give this one the time to bloom. Wonderful job. Plaisirs De La Nuit (bottle) My skin loves cinnamon. This scent was beautiful on me. The carnation adds just the perfect amount of peppery spice and soft floral to this blend. Plenty (bottle) This one is fruity, but not too foody… The pumpkin is wonderful and subtle. The watermelon and fig are perfectly blended together. I also smell a hint of apple… Pom Pom Nom Nom I got pink when I first put it on, but then the carnations bit me. I have decided that we just don't get along! Pomme de Poison This one smells like the perfect fall potpourri to me when wet. Not something that I would wear regularly, but definitely one that I could use as an anointing oil, in a diffuser or in a bath. Mmm… makes me feel cozy… Portunus - Opportunity Potion This one is light and springy with a hint of green. The figs come out just behind the daffodils for me. Potion 31 (hoarding) smells just like a carrot cake! Pumpkin: Shake, Rattle & Roll – Oct 2009 Gift with Purchase What can I say other than yum! This is perfectly pumpkin. Spicy, but subtly so. It is not foody at all, but not dry either. It is moist spicy pumpkin with the perfect amount of sweetness. Rajah (bottle) This is a very dark green scent initially. The moss and ferns are the first ones that come out when wet. It smells like the decaying floor of a wet forest. It dries to a very nice complex wood based resin scent with a powdery undertone. Surprisingly soft given what it smelled like wet. Not overpowering, but still has a definate presence. This one definately needs some time to develop into its full depth. It only took about 10 minutes on me for the initial spikes of sharp green to die down and fall beneath the blanket of amber. Raq's Sharqi This was spicy and dry. I am not sure how to discribe this one. Raven Moon 2008/2009 (bottle) When I first put it on, it was very similar to LP Black. Now (about 10 minutes later), it is a softer and creamier "texture." The cinnamon is just underneath the resins, just barely peeking out. I can also smell a hint of peach floating just on the forefront. In between is a very complex cloud of wonderful sweetness. Raven's Secret Weapon The sandalwood comes out strongest on my skin. Ravished I LOVE THIS! This is a fantastic scent. This is a perfect blend of sexy spice and calm floral. It is like the calm cool sex kitten entering the room in her smoking red patent leather outfit. Resolution Potion Wet: smokey rose with a strong woody scent. Drydown: The iris starts to poke through and the rose steps back. The woods are still there, surrounding the florals in a warm protective box. Rita's Hugs This one has patchouli and amber. It is dark and mysterious. I enjoy it. The patchouli is dry and crisp. The amber is golden and sweet. Very similar in feel to the base in hot treacle trollop. If you like that one, you'd probably like this one. Unfortunately, I think it is sold out. You should still be able to order this as a custom sugar, however. Robin and Marian Beautiful. The musks are nice and the florals are deep. I can smell the foundation of patchouli. I think I also pick up a hint of amber. This one did very well with my skin. Rocket Chick too strawberry for me. Rocket Fuel (Mara's) (hoarding) I LOVE this one. Mmmm. The brown sugar is yummy. Romeo & Juliet The almond and hazelnut come out on me first. It smells creamy and nutty. My skin just absorbed this one. After 10 minutes, it was gone. No wait, not gone... Just subtle. I agree with the other reviews. It is a very close to you scent. It is really nice and soft. The hazlenut and cinnamon make a really nice pair. I am not sure where the creaminess comes from, but it is really nice. Like an almond butter rather than the traditional strong almond scent. Rowdy, Raunchy & Rude Something in here twangs at my nose. I don't think that is a real sentence, but twangs at my nose is the best description that I can come up with. It goes very wrong on my skin instantly. Not good, ladies, not good. Sabra's Secret I love dragon's blood resin. My skin turned this into something completely different, which disappointed me. Sand WitchThis is a smooth creamy vanilla. The coconut isn't strong, but is a fantastic compliment to the vanilla. The sandalwood is very mild and serves to ground the scent. It is nice and soft. A close scent, for sure. Also one that would be really nice in the summer heat. Santa Carla I like this ok. The leather and tobacco come out first on me. Surprisingly, however, this did not last on me. After an hour I could barely smell it. Santa Carla 2009 I was a little skeptical of this one, since I was not a huge fan of the last version of Santa Carla. But, if I have learned anything over the last year as an LP customer, it is that the remakes are never the same as the original. So, I broke down and tried this anyways… And I am glad that I did. When I smelled it in the vial, I was still skeptical. I put it on my skin and let it sit for a minute or two before I sniffed it and was pleasantly surprised. The strong smoky leather note that I disliked in the original is much softer and less noticeable in this one. Still there, but not a predominant note on me. This one is a soft, dirty scent. It is the defiant side of your nature, that love of adrenaline and danger that lies just beneath the surface. It is the confidence you didn't know you had. It is the coy smile that slips across your face when you feel like doing something a little naughty. It is the spark of life in your eyes as you tip over that first unseen drop on your favorite roller coaster. With this one I had to describe the feelings it evoked rather than the notes. Those feelings capture how this smells to me… fantastic, daring and sexy – but not overtly. It is hovering beneath the surface just waiting for you to let it come out and play. Sarasvati This one starts out very floral, but does dry down very nicely. It seems to meld with my skin and become a "natural" scent. I don't know how else to describe the sensation. It isn't soapy at all, but it makes me feel fresh and revived. Almost like I just stepped out of the shower. Again, it is the feeling and not a soapy note. On me, it fades down and becomes a very close scent. It is a slightly shy scent that would not be at all overpowering. Like it was designed for me to smell privately so that I could be alone with my creativity. Sassy Sibylia This one is yummy in a subtle spicy kind of way. Definitely sassy… This one has some clove or nutmeg in it that comes out strong when wet and then fades into the background as it dries. This dries into a softer spicy scent with a depth that is just barely noticeable. It is like looking into haunted eyes that have a playful edge. It is intriguing and a fairly closely held scent that lasts for longer than I expected given the light throw. Scandalous (hoarding) LP Red is not one of my favorites. I enjoy it, but don't LOVE it. This one however, is PERFECT! Please, please, please rebrew! The amber is fantastic, and I LOVE the cinnamon. I really enjoy cinnamon, so it is no surprise that I really enjoy this one. All I was able to score is enough of a sample for one application. So sad! Scandalous Intentions The lily comes out strongest on me when wet. As it dies down, the rose, amber and cream start to come forward. Wet, it is a little overpowering. However, it is lovely when it dies down. Give it about 15-20 minutes before you decide, as this one definately needs time to develop. Scarlet Silk Wet, this was fantastic. I really did smell like red silk looks. After it dried, however, the powdered sugar did something uexpectedly funky with my skin. Adding my bottle to my trading post. So sad. Secret Garden (Shelly B's) I was a little leery of this because of the lily. It is surprisingly subtle. The carnation and gardenia really come out, the lily is in the background. It almost smells like a watery floral the way the notes dance in and out together. Sexology this did not do well on me. As most strong honey scents do, it did the funky waxy slightly acrid thing. It would waft in and out. There was about 10 minutes in there where it smelled nice and cakey, then it went back to acrid wax. Shades of Warmth (Jo Anna's) There is too much honey in here. I will give some time to age and try again. I think that I may trade in a few months. Shady Lady This smells like sweet skin. Slightly sweet, slightly musky. The floral is there, but it almost smells like a faint whiff of almost evaporated men's cologne. Not masculine smelling at all. Goes along with that sweet skin smell. It does have an etheral feel, but is not aquatic. It also feels green, but doesn't actually have a green note that I can pin down. More of a feeling that it is there somewhere, eluding my nose. It smells fresh out of the shower clean, but not soapy. There are a lot of descriptions here, but they are all trying to describe the same elusive feeling of mystery. She-Wolf (Lori's) Wet: green, wet and sweet. As it dries, it starts to get dirtier and the green falls to the background. Shimmering Gardenia (Amanda's) This one behaves badly with my skin. Not sure what it is. It is only up close, the throw smells great. Weird. The gardenia is gorgeous and the vanilla is warm and subtle. Siberian Lust The mint in this one is yummy. The tea is creamy and softly spiced. Unfortunately, tea turns on my skin after about five minutes. Silken Moonlight (Karmiel's) This was powdery. It smelled like deoderant on me. Siren's Serenade A berry/fig note is the first one that I get when I smell this wet. A very soft, pretty and juicy berry/fig. As it dries, it starts to smell like a slightly fruity dry piece of bubble gum. It has that hint of sugary powder on the top, just like a fresh piece of gum does. It is soft and a very closely held scent. Not cloyingly sweet, and not "powdery" like you would normally associate the term. Skelly Head Flambe Strong hot clove note when I first put it on, like clove crackling in the flambé flames. It dries down into a delectable sweetness with the fruit floating in and out of the spice and sugar. Definitely a fantastic fall sweetly edible scent that makes you want to lick yourself (or perhaps someone else will do the licking?)… Skull Orchid This one smells like caramel apples with a hint of cinnamon. Slave to Sin (bottle) This one was wonderful. Very creamy and deep. My skin chemistry happens to love roses. The rose is soft and subtle and sits behind the cocoa butter and vanilla creaminess. The carnation gives a nice hint of peppery spice, very subtle. It is like a soft victorian floral with some modern day sex appeal. Smokey Kisses Strong cherry initially and then dies down to a nice smokey scent Something VooDoo This Way Comes The peach and lavender both come out strong on me. It is a weird combo. I am not sure that I am digging it. Sogni Incantati (bottle) The marshmallow is definitely there when wet. The vanilla is really warming and nice. This scent is very comforting and will make a yummy night time or bath scent! It dries down to soft, subtle and warm. Very nice. I will be getting a bottle to add to my arsenal of bedtime scents. Soiled Dove Wet: tobacco and booze Drydown: The tobacco dominates everything else. All I can smell is tobaccoed sandalwood… Sorceress (bottle) This is like a musky shadow, lurking around the edges of consciousness. It smells like I would think a shadow should smell. Musky, mysterious, almost dusty (but not quite), and grey. The dusty feel comes from the spices. It is not the typical spicy, it is more of a dry dusty spice. The florals feel "grey" to me. Not dark, and definately not springy or heavy. They are like a shadow of spring. I know this is a very vauge review, but I just can't get more specific. The best I can do is musky shadow... Always there, but always in the background. Watching and waiting. Soul Food (hoarding) Wet, the sandalwood note comes out strong. As it dries down, the cinnamon and resins start to come forward. Very nice and not too strong. It is dark, dry and crisp. I love the sandalwood and cinnamon. The mental image that I get when I smell this is of falling into a high pile of raked dry leaves on a cool day (40-50ish) with the smell of smoke in the air from distant fireplace fires. Clear blue skys and the slightest breeze. SouthernGothic 2008 Gardenia came out the strongest for me. A touch too green for my taste. SouthernGothic 2009 I wasn't expecting to like this one. I have not been overwhelmed by the last two. However, this is FANTASTIC. The berry is perfectly tempered by the other dark and luscious ingredients. I have had this on for about 8 hours and I can still smell it. Not only can I still smell it, but it is still covering the SS4W phero that I put on under it. It has a slightly sweet, slightly tangyness to the undertones of floral. The floral really is the undertone. I am going to purchase a bottle of this one! Spectre Potion I don't smell any peach on me. I do agree that if you like Hoodoo, you will like this one. There is something in this that smells like green wood to me. There is a resin of some sort in here, perhaps dragon's blood... I also think that I smell cypress, but am not sure. There is definately a floral of some sort creeping around in the background. Springtime in the Valley This is a very pretty floral. I really like the jasmine. Usually, this flower is too overpowering. But, it is perfect in this scent. The rose is soft and subtle. On me, it is behind the other two flowers. Stealing Xmas This one is very festive. I smell fruitcake and gingerbread with some festive potpourri. As it dries down, I can smell the raspberries coming out. Sugared Almond This smells like sweet almond extract. A little too almond for me, but if you love the smell of almond you will love this one! Sugared Amber (bottle) If you like amber scents, this is a must have. It is like having salt/pepper in your spice cabinet. Sugared Amber Cardomom & Vanilla ( Ajias) On me, the amber is a beautiful light gold. The cardamom is dominant on me. It reminds me of scented Indian rice. The spice is subtle, but nicely alive. It is blended well with the vanilla, which is light and creamy. Sugared Bonfire (bottle) Just like roasted marshmellows after a fall rain. Sugared Cardamon Will add a nice touch of spice to those that are too floral Sugared Carnations This is a beautiful soft peppery floral. It is soft, subtle and very feminine. Sugared Cherries strong cherry flavor Sugared Chrysanthumum I was surprised at how nice this one was. It was slightly spicy with a deeper floral that was just a whisper. Sugared Cinnamon nice deep cinnamon with a beautiful amber foundation. Sugared Coconut (bottle) Yummy. Sugared Cream This one smells waxy on me. My skin did not take to it as I had hoped... Sugared Dark Berries Nice sweet berry flavor. Nice layering scent for those that are too spicy or bitter. Sugared Darkness Wet: the sweet champa is dominant on me. Sweet, with just a hint of darkness around the edges. As it dries, the Frank & Myrrh come forward. Delicious. It is what I think liquid gold should smell like. Sugared Egyptian Musk (bottle) Faint musk. Definate necessity for winter layering to help soften florals. Sugared Exotic Nag Champa (bottle) Sugared Forest (bottle) The oakmoss and sandalwood were predominate on me. It was not as sharp as I expected for it to be. It dried down to be very nice, which was an unexpected surprise for me. Sugared Frankincense and Myhhr (bottle) beautiful and soft. The myrrh is predominant on my skin. Both scents are softened nicely by a powdery sweetness. Sugared French Vanilla A beautiful and creamy vanilla. It turned a little waxy on me. Sugared Gerbals (Theresa's) (bottle) When wet, I smell chamomile with a sharp green note. This note settles pretty quickly (1-2 minutes) into a softer green. It is sweet, but not overly so. It is very pretty. I really like it. If you like Dreams of Avalon, you will like this one. I am not sure what the other herbs are, but they are nice. After it has dried down, it becomes a subtle comforting scent. Sugared Hazelnut This really does smell like hazelnut syrup! Sugared Heather (Ajia's) This is a beautiful rendition of Heather. True to the scent of heather. I love it. This is slightly green, so if you don't do well with greens - be forwarned. If you like Aura Armor or Pink Emerald, you will like this one! Sugared Honeycomb Smells kind of plastiky on its own initially, then softens up Sugared Iced Tea Tea does not do well on my skin Sugared Lavender My skin ate this one up. Very light and almost gone within five minutes. Sugared Lilies Sweet lillies Sugared Magi I don't know what else to say but YUM! The fig comes out on top and the frankincense and myrrh are beautifully blended. Sugared Mint (hoarding) Cool, icy and beautiful. It is very comforting and uplifting at the same time. Peppermint is known to assist with recall and concentration, so this would be a good one to wear to exams. It is also very relaxing to me and will be a perfect evening scent when I am relaxing with a good book. This smells identical to sweetened iced mint tea (herbal). Sugared Moon Dust This one goes a little waxy on me. I am not sure which note is doing it. Sugared Patchouli (bottle) Enjoy this one. It will be great to layer with some florals so that I can deepen/darken them and continue to enjoy them in the winter Sugared Pomegranates This one is yummy goodness. I think this would make a perfect lotion and bubble bath combo! beautiful, soft, juicy and sweet. Sugared Pumpkins Too pumpkiny and dark on me Sugared Red Berries slightly waxy, but good Sugared Roses (bottle) Sugared Twilight I don't know what it was that turned on me. Perhaps whatever is in the "sunshine" Sugared Vanilla Bean (bottle)The perfect vanilla for me. Loved it! Sultry Afternoon doesn't agree with my skin. I am not sure what it was, but I have a feeling it might have been the currants. It turned to a slightly rancid wax candle. Sun Catcher This one really is like sunshine in a bottle. I expected this to be very citrusy and it is not. The citrus is there in the background, like someone peeling citrus in the next room. More a hint of lemon than the other two. What the citrus really does is brighten up the florals. Sungold Mocha (Luna's) I am not one that enjoys coffee anything. I have yet to smell a coffee note that worked with my skin. Until now, that is. This is fantastically smooth and the coffee is completely behind the scenes. More a feeling of caffeine than the actual smell of coffee. What my skin pulls out is the chocolate and the apricot. A wonderfully seductive mix. Very nicely done Luna! Sweet Lorien B. The strawberry really comes out on me in this one. The rose is really subtle. In the bottle, this is fantastic. On me, it turns a little. I can't quite describe it other than to say that it is slightly "off". It still smells good, but I don't think it is how it should smell. It doesn't WOW me. I like it, but not a bottle purchase for me. I think it is the strawberry that is not meshing as well with my chemistry. Sweet Nova The tonka is overpowering on me with this one. I can't even pick up the neroli or the amber. Sadly, my skin did not like it. Sweet Revenge Potion Surprisingly, I liked this one. I am not typically a fan of the green/citrus combos, but this one really blends nicely with my skin. It is not a heavy moss green, but more of a flower leaf green. The citrus is definitely there, but subtle. Sweet Valentine The sweet pea adds a nice floral touch to the sweet. Sweetly Smutty Lusty Musty (Erin's) I love this! Dark, smutty and sweet. The title says it all. I have not smelled another LP that even comes close to being similar to this one. Synchronicity (bottle) Beautiful blend of resin and musk. The vanilla comes out first on me and deepens as it dries. Tabby This is a soft green woody floral to my nose. Despite the lack of florals, it has a soft floral feel to it. It is a little sharp at first, but softens right up with a little time. I enjoy it. It is a very good cover for the dominance, which can be a little overpowering. I was very surprised that this is able to be so soft and still cover the phero beautifully. Tahitian Temptress I can instantly smell bright citrus notes when I put this on my skin, although I know that there isn't any citrus in it. It is odd. It makes me think of yellow and Sunkist candy. It smells like the old style lemon drops taste (not how they smell, how they taste – yes, I know that sounds strange). As it dries, it softens into a duller yellow with a definite citrus note that has a duller edge. The scent isn't sharp, but more rounded. Very nice and a great scent if you need an "upbeat" LP for the day. This would be an excellent one to have something like EST and A-Nol added to, to create your own little happy potion. Tail This was very much like Mermaids of Alantis on me when I first applied. After it dried, it became more of a floral with a strong EOW scent. It fades too fast on me, and EOW is not a scent that I want to be left with after an hour. . I am sure this is just my skin, so don't shy away from trying this one. It smelled fantastic until it faded away. Tamashi No Tomo The orchid comes out first on me and the lemon/lime is a little too sharp on me initially. It softens into a powdery finish Tantric Butterfly The florals in this take a back seat to the sexy deeper notes. I need my dancing shoes with this one. It has a nice dry sandalwood base and smells just dirty enough to have earned it's name… . Tartly Spiced Pear (Maxine of Arc's) The cardamom is delicious in this one! The lemon is beautiful and subtle. The pears are ripe and sweet. Taxed (bottle) The ylang-ylang is very comforting. I wore this to bed one night and my husband commented that this one smells faintly of cotton candy. Teacher's Pest I am not very good at reviewing tobacco based scents, since we don't see eye to eye on how they should blend with my skin... That said, it is a softer scent that seems to heat up a little as it dries down. It is very pretty until my skin turns into some possessed devil that screams "no tobacco!" The Feast of Tabernacles The apple comes out strong on me, followed closely by the peach. Too fruity for my taste. The Good Witch This one made me smile when I put it on wet. It is sweet and playful, hinting at a just shattered innocence that still wants to linger. It is fruity, but not fruity at the same time. It is not foody at all, so don't let the word "fruity" scare you off. I am not typically a fan of fruity or foody scents, but I do like this one. It feels like the perfect combo of fall and spring. It is a bright fall scent that is unaware of the season's death that surrounds it, still holding tight to its innocence. Thief of Hearts The watermelon came out the strongest on me when wet. As much as I loved this in the bottle, the combo smelled strangely odd on my skin. Not horrible wash it off kind of odd, more like a "what is that strange scent" kind of odd. Intruiging, but not alluring. I am not sure what combo it is that is doing it. Very sad, I loved it in the bottle. Temptasia This one is fantastic! Soft and gingery. I love it. I don't even know how to describe it other than to say it is like a cashmere sweater that I just slipped on. That Kind of Girl This one has a weird waxy spiciness on me. I am not sure which note is not my friend, but I soooo wanted to like this. 'Til Death... Too woody on my skin. Time Travel Potion: (bottle) Wet: sweet resins with a spike of floral. Drydown: a beautiful melding of florals and resins. It is sweet and "medium" - the resins are not too dark, they are dripping with soft sexy moonlight. To Soothe A Broken Heart The mosses in this were a little heavy for me. The lavandar was also fairly dark (probably in combo with the mosses). I almost put it in the "trade" pile and thought I would try it on my husband before I did. I am sooo glad that I did. This smells fantastic on him. The mosses really sweetened up and the jasmine/lavendar were a nice addition, but definately not to floral. It has a soft lighter masculine feel. His neck was still kissably yummy when we woke up this morning (7 hours later). This morning he looked at the label and started laughing. All he could say was "so, does this mean I am a rebound." Treacle Trollop (C & J's) (bottle) OMG, this is sooo much better than I expected! If you just love LP Black, you will LOVE this one! It is scrumptious. It is like we pulled out all of the best parts of Black and put them in a separate bottle. OK, now that I am done drooling... When wet, the patchouli is phenomenal and the vanilla has the same effect when combining with the patchouli that you experience in Black. The brown sugar and maple add a super sexy sweetness to it. As it dries down, it morphs a little and the patchouli drops back a little (but just a little, it is still noticeably there). The vanilla moves forward and the brown sugar and maple waft in and out. It is beautiful. The vanilla is warm and predominant. The patchouli is deeper and creamier. Aged, but moist. The brown sugar is sweet and moist and the maple is like a pure maple syrup. about 6 hours after application, the brown sugar and maple really came out to play. I kid you not, my hand smelled just like I had just opened a package of instant maple & brown sugar oatmeal. It was soft, and quite yummy. Tropical Musk (Christine's) (hoarding) I love this one. The bamboo is perfect. Pale green and watery. The coconut is just brushed into the mix. Just enough to give it a nice creamy texture. The white and green musks are perfect. It dries down to a bright, slightly powdery green musky scent. Exactly what I wanted. A non-foody tropical scent. It smells like you have been outside all day in the hot tropics. Tropical Temptation The mango and peach came out strongest on my skin. A touch too fruity for my taste. Turkish Delight (bottle) Beautiful combo of sugar, spice and rose. Smells just like turkish delight. Une (for women) This one was too honey for me. This is the unphero version of PheroGirl: Original. Vain (hoarding) I love the dragon's blood in this one. It softens down into a cozy bed of warm spice. Valentine's Chocolate Very sweet and chocolatey. Those that like chocolate will love this one. Vamp Cafe I don't get the coffee directly. I do get the amber and berry notes. Beautiful. I love it. Vampire Bait Starts out fresh and lemony. Definitely the lemon grass and lemon verbena up front. Next, I can feel the white sugar coming up. A slightly powdery feel. I think that the water lily and orchid are peeking through. Of course, my favorite note of all time (bamboo) is perfectly melded in the center. It has a strong grip on all of the ingredients and has intertwined with each of them. I like this much more than I thought I would. This is definately the Mrs. Harker kind of scent. Innocently appealing. I don't get any edible notes at all. Vanilla, Cinnamon & Musk (Christy's) This is soft, powdery & sweet. The cinnamon is a faint dusting that is blended into a fluffy powdered sugar. The vanilla is also faint, like a piece of vanilla bean was stored in the sugar. Beautifully done. Vicars & Tarts This may be my favorite out of this month's lineup. This is dark, sexy, chewy, sweet and flirty all at the same time. It is like the "smokey eyes" in a bottle, well the sexiness of it anyways. Feminine, dark and seductive. The resins give a fantastic undercurrent of mystery to the chewy sweetness that hits you first. It is like the scent is calling you towards it to see what else it might have in store for you later. I love it! Victim (Hess' House of Scents) (bottle) Oooh, this is pretty. It makes me feel girly and sexy at the same time. Like wearing a pink lace teddy... I feel like I am walking through a garden on a warm June southern evening. The honeysuckle is soft and beautiful. A touch of green pokes its way through, reminding me that spring has just ended. Definatley an innocent smell when wet. As it dries down, the vetiver and amber start to come out and add quite the sexy note. This victim is not so innocent after all... Violitious Turned on me. Initially it was a soft, subtle violet that just whispered hello. Then it cried out in a screech. Voluptuous Vanilla (Ail's) This is yummy. Vanilla, vanilla and more vanilla. I had mine boosted with Open Windows. This will make a fantastic layering scent. Voodoo Valentine Wet, this was wet juicy berries and freshly cut grapefruit. After it dried down, I could no longer smell the berries. All I got was unsweetened yellow grapefruit (I am sure this was my skin, not the scent). After an hour it was gone and I was left with the faintest whisper of incense where my test spot was. WANT I am not sure what all is in here, but I can definately smell honeycomb or honey. There is some subtle fruit in here as well. It is yummy. Warrior Heart In the bottle: it is filled with soft winter fruits. It is not foody or super sweet or citrusy. I also smell some vanilla. Wet on the skin: the sweet fruit tames down some. There is some hint of floral in here, but I am not sure what it is. I think I smell a hint of cinnamon, but that could be something else as well. Drydown: soft winter fruits, a touch of wine, there must be cream or honey in here as I can smell a very faint waxy note. This is soft and subtle and very well done. I am excited to see what this is going to smell like in a month or two. I agree with the grownup Frosted Cranberry, Mulberry & Plum reference. This one is not as heavy on the fruit and is less sweet. Much more sophisticated. Very well blended. Wax Poetic This one is true to it's name. It is very waxy on my skin. I can't smell any other notes. Wheat Siren This is a nice floral. The flour adds a nice powdery base. It has a darker sweetness, which must be either brown sugar or honey. I can also smell a hint of either nutmeg or clove. I think that there might be a hint of daffodil or some greener type floral in here as well. Wine & Dead Roses (2009) (bottle) Wet, I was not at all impressed with this one. I got really strong wine. After it dried and had some time to blend with my skin, I love it. The rose is definitely there, but soft and powdery on me. I can smell some dark resins in the background. I was pleasantly surprised with this one. Wishcraft This one is OK. If you like light florals, you will love this one. I tend to like the warmer or deeper scents. These don't stay with me very long. Wooing & Wapture This one is bright and innocent. There is some sweetness, but not sugary or syrupy. It captures the sweet innocence of youth. This would be a great scent for kids or those that work with kids. WYZ This one dries down on me to be a perfect blend of sophistication and softer femininity. It is a very close scent on me and isn't too fruity or too floral. It is almost masculine, but really not that. It has that darker note behind the scenes (likely the oud) that gives it that feel. It pokes through every now and then, but really just gives clarity to the blurred soft femininity of the fragrance. Yin Ylang (Christine's) (hoarding) This is a beautiful and unusual combo. It is beautiful, sweet and relaxing. It is the perfect night time scent and exactly what I was looking for. Yule Snuggle On me, this is like the soft lemon creamy filling from lemon sandwich cookies. It has a slight buttery overtone and a hint of ginger underneath, but I really get the creamy lemon icing or filling. It is delicious. I am so sad that I missed out on a bottle of this one. I scored a sample in a trade and am going to savor it. Zigeunerwein reminded me of Clinique's "Happy"
  17. Updated 09/18/2010 This is a consolidated list of reviews for all the LPs I have tried. I have had to split my reviews, because my post was too big... For N-Z, click here. Please keep in mind that this is just how these scents react with my chemistry. I would recommend reading the full reviews on these scents, don't just go with my experience. 7 Minutes to Midnight This is a softer scent that demands you come close to smell it. It is very pretty and feminine, but not "perfumey". It is like a beautiful ball gown or a soft piece of lace gracing your skin. It is the scent that you would go to when you want that very soft, feminine subtle scent that enhances your natural glow. 21st Century Venus (hoarding) Nice and light. Perfect balance of citrus, floral and spice. 12th Night in New Orleans (bottle) It is very creamy and warm. The spices (allspice, cinnamon, clove) are the prominant notes on me. They sit on a faint cloud of patchouli and sugar. It is a wonderful blend with the different layers coming out throughout the day. 976-Girl There is something in here that does not agree with my skin. It must be either the cardmom or ginger. Allegro ~ Happiness Potion (hoarding) Definitely a happy scent. It gives me the feeling of a summer breeze. It is light and fruity, but not overpowerfully so. It didn't last long on me, but was still worth purchasing a full bottle. Alzbeta There is something in here that disagrees with my nose. It has a sharp acrid note to it and smells kind of soapy. Here is another one that I am chalking up to chemistry. Please use other's reviews to make your decision. I am sure that this was not designed to smell like dishwasher soap, which is what it reminds me of on my skin (that sharp bleachy soapy smell). Amber Enchantment Wet: sweet sugared berries with a hint of vanilla. The amber is in the background. Drydown: The berries still dominate on me with candied amber in the background. Nice. Amber and Vanilla Orchids (Ajia's) The amber in this one is light. Almost like a white or pale yellow. The vanilla orchid is soft, powdery and pretty. It is a nice subtle floral. Ambrosia's Roses (bottle) This is beautiful and soft. It smells like dried antique roses with a hint of sunny florals. It is like wearable potpourri. Beautiful and soft. It has great throw. So glad I got a bottle coming. Ancient Goddess (Hailey's) This is fantastic. Dark and light at the same moment. Ancient, yet fresh. This is warm, sweet and dripping with yummy. The sandalwood is well aged, but not overpowering and the patch is to die for. It has a slightly spicy note to it, almost like it has some cinnamon in it - but it doesn't. It is the perfect way that the sandalwood and patch come together. When it dries down, it is warm and wonderful. The brown sugar keeps this one deep, for a spectacular twist. It smells ancient, like it was found in a clay jar in an ancient tomb or burial site. After about 20 minutes, it starts to settle into a soft cloud. It keeps it's main character throughout all of the stages, with just the edges shifting. Very long lasting with good throw, yet not overbearing. Angel of Spring I liked this one OK. It was a nice floral, but did not strike me as one I have to have. A touch too green for my taste. Anti-Piggy Wet, I smell apple and pear. It is yummy. After it dried down, the mint came out to play with an undertone of peach. Aphrodisia EroticaThis one would be a really nice subtle scent for those who like honey. It turns slightly waxy on me, so I am not the best one to review this one. Areion Skye This is very aquatic and makes me think of turquoise as a color. It has some citrus undercurrents to it, but not overpowering. It has a slightly sharper note to it that almost tickles the nose. Not in a bad way, it is just a slightly different experience. It makes me think of a morning sunrise. Armed and Dangerous Wet: musk and bergamot with a sharp citrus note. Drydown: the citrus comes to the front after this dries down with a hint of vanilla. It makes me fell springy… Ashes to Dust Very strong woody scent. Not necessarily a good fragrance for daily wear. Get for the magical intent. Ashes to Dust II Wet: lemon and rose dominate this stage on me with a hint of clove. Drydown: This one was almost gone after 30 minutes. Just a hint left that smelled like lemon pledge. Aura Armor (hoarding) love this scent! I have two bottles. I am about 1/4 of the way through my first bottle. Initially, it is a sweet green. The oakmoss and bamboo are definately there. After it dries down, the heather and sandalwood meld beautifully to create a soft feminine glow. The amber and vanilla definately give it some staying power. I have had this one for more than 5 hours and it is still lovely and full-bodied. The Oak Moss and Bamboo are no longer detectible, leaving it soft and pretty. As for intent... I had a plumber at my house all day fixing my frozen pipes that had burst in two places. He was pretty grumpy and negative when he arrived. Not very talkative or friendly. I was finding myself getting a little irritated and applied some of this in all of the normal spots. By the time that the plumber left, we were both in good spirits. He even smiled at me. No pheros used! Now, he still wasn't super friendly, but he also wasn't leaching my energy away from me. I think that my intact good spirits and positive energy may have rubbed off on him... Autumn Lust I typically do not like to wear scents with real strong apple notes, they are too foody for me. However, I have recently discovered that 1/2 a trial vial in a hot bath makes a wonderful all over body scent that is perfect for bedtime! I am not sure if it is the dilution, the thin amount that is on my skin, or what... but it really helps tone down the apple. I smell delicious. It is a very subtle spiced cider. mmmmm... Autumn Mist This one is watery and green. It smells like fresh rain in a field of flowers. There are several floral notes and some crisp notes. There might be some cucumber in here or something similar to give the crisp fresh feeling. Aztec Moon I scored a bottle of this in a trade. It is not very fruity on me at all. What I get are the spices, resins and a hint of a spicier floral. It is a heavy scent when wet. Like thick night air, laden with the scents of the day. On dry down it is a softer dry spice. The sun rises and burns off the thick dew, leaving a dry breeze behind. I can smell what I think is chili powder in the background. Very subtle. I like this one. Baby Drac's Olde Tyme Teething Formula This one is very similar to Dracula's Bakery. This has ginger in it, where the other does not. The cinnamon and allspice are also not as predominate in this one. The ginger really mellows this out. Sweet and edible without being too foody. I really like it. The spices are more creamy in this one. Delicately blended with the pumpkin and pureed together. Very nicely done! Bacchanalia Wet - this is boozy fruitness. The grape came out the strongest on me initially. Reminded me of goblin goo for a minute, and then that faded into a melding of fruity booze. No musk yet. As it dried down, I kept getting whiffs of this yummy booziness coming from my wrist. I applied a spot 1/2 the size of a dime to my wrist and the throw was impeccable. Complete dry down (about 3 hours later): deep musk with a fruity layer. Almost dirty, but not dirt. Not quite sweaty either, but that is the feeling I get. At this stage, it is no longer sweet. It is smells "dried". I don't know how else to describe it. The throw is still a touch sweet and primarily fruity, but when you get close the dried sweat feel is there. Backstage Pass I wasn't sure what to expect with this one. Peach and peony are hit and miss with my skin. Honey almost always turns into a small disaster. This is wonderfully complex. It is young, hip and sexy all at the same time. The sexy is not a deep sultry kind of sexy. It is a natural appeal like you would find in a budding teenage girl who is still innocent. Almost grown up, but still innocent. That is exactly how this one feels. Wants so bad to be an adult, pushing all of the boundaries. The honey stays sweet with no turning. YEAH! Banishing Moon This one absolutely hates my skin. Lavender is not my friend. Very sad. I think I am going to save my sample to use as a ritual anointing oil for my candles. Bayberry and Gold This one smelled too foody for my taste Belladonna Brew, The This one is what bright yellow-blue smells like to me. It is a springy citrus floral that is beautifully done. Clean and sexy at the same time. Beltane Very dark. On me, it was too incensy and smokey. It smelled great in the bottle. Betrothal Potion A nice light floral. A little too light for my skin (it was gone in just over an hour), but beautiful none the less. BFF something in it too sharp on my skin. Black Candy This one is very powdery and soft on me. The violets are a little sharp underneath. But, my skin doesn't really like violets. Blessed Sacrament Smelled good in the bottle and wet on the skin. As it dried, however, it smelled a little plastiky. Blood Martini This one had a plastiky smell to it on me. I loved the raspberry when wet, and then it turned. I think it is the currants in this one that do not agree with me. Blood Martini 2008 The rebrew is fantastic. The original version did not work well with my skin. I am not sure what is different, but this one works with me! Yeah! The raspberries are wonderful, the florals are thick and velvety and the spices and woods really blend nicely together on the drydown. Blood on the Snow I get a very nice fruit scent. Not overly foody. Blossom of Love This was a very light floral with a hint of fruit. Very subtle. Boddice Ripper I love this! It is a SEXY scent for a man. Body Paint This one just didn't do it for me. It is nice, just not my type of scent. It is a tad too fruity (berry) for me and the lavendar seems to amp this on me. It smells like it would make a fantastic bubble bath, but that is why it doesn't jump out at me. It smells like a bath product should smell. Bosom Bows (bottle) This one is sweet and innocent. The dark musk and amber give it just a hint of naughty. Girls Night Out! Boy Bait (Suki's) (hoarding) Sweet with just a layer of warm from the cinnamon as it dies down. A hint of honey for that sexy draw. Bravado This is a very dark scent. The wood comes out strongest on me when wet. It has an incense type feel. I can smell the musk and amber after it dries down. It has a dry powdery undertone to it. Definitely a more masculine scent than some of the others I have. I am enjoying it. Breaking the Ceiling The tea came out strongest on me. I have found that my skin tends to turn tea rancid. I tried covering this with several things to help counter the tea, but could not find anything in my collection that would help. I even tried sugared honeycomb... The tea really amped the phero smell, which was not a pleasant effect for my nose. Brown Sugared Black Amber (Ann's) (bottle) The rick black amber comes out on the top with a syrupy brown sugar base. The amber is almost spicy. It is thick and has a luscious bite. It is a black silky sheer scarf that encircles your naked body on a hot summer night. Brown Sugared & Spiced Orange Creamy Dream (Chris') Creamy orange. Reminds me of a summertime ice cream from the ice cream truck. Light and fresh, not very heavy at all. Perfect summer scent. Bubble The first scent that comes out on me is the iris. I was surprised at how green it was initially. It is a spicy green floral. It is imporant to note that the spice is from the flowers, not from any resins or other "spicy" ingredients. It is a sharper green spice. Bubblegum Robot my skin pulled the tea out of this one, it did not do well with me. Buns of CinnI love cinnamon scents. I was very much looking forward to this one. It really does smell like a cinnamon bun. I enjoy it. Once it is thoroughly settled, however, the cinnamon is all that I smell. The other notes fade completely away. My skin naturally amps spices anyways, and that makes this a bit spicier than I like it. Canary FaeryThe lemon grass is what comes out the strongest on me. It is a little overpowering and all that I can smell. Candied Violets & Musk I am not a fan of the violet scents. Candy Corn & Taffy (Gretel's) This one has to be shaken well. Don't judge it by the smell in the vial. I almost passed it by. I didn't like it at all. But, I told myself to do a small test just to make sure. I have found some gems that way. This one does have a waxy candy corn and taffy smell to it. It is not overly sweet, and there is definately a salty note to the taffy. It is very different. I almost smell cinnamon, but i don't think that is what it is. Nicely done. Caramel Sutra I have to admit that I don't look at the notes at all when I review these so that I can give a straight and unbiased review. That said, this one is not at all floral to me. It is a chewier sweetness that has deep dark undertones. It is not, however, candy sweet. The sweetness isn't syrupy or too sticky, but more of a subtle and meatier sweetness. It definately has a smoky note to it. When it dries down, my skin seems to amp tobacco and smoke. I am not sure which one I am getting, but one of those is coming through. It is a more masculine scent that would work very well for a strong woman or a softer man. I say softer man because of the sweet aspect. This is not one that would make me think of a Harley ridin' kind of man, but more of a sultry pair of sexy jeans about to possibly hit the floor kind of man. Carolyn's Vanilla, Sandalwood & Spice This is yummy. The sandalwood is dry and not as overpowering as I expected. The spice is warm. Not quite pumpkin pie spice, but yummy like that. Carpe Noctum (hoarding) A nice base of spice and soft wood wrapped in a warm blanket of vanilla and musk. Very nice and soft. Castle Walls (Ajia's) This one smells green and slightly herbal to me. As it dries, I can smell some floral sneaking in. Caught in the Act This one is very interesting. The lemon is not as bright as I thought it would be. It is more like a whipped lemon topping type scent. It is very fruity and dirty at the same time. The musk lends a nice dirty undertone to it. Definitely not your normal fruity scents. I am typically not a fruity scent kind of gal, but I do like this one. Celestial Lust Dust My skin does not like the tea notes CFM Surprisingly, this one worked on my skin. I was not sure if it would because of the tea notes. The sandalwood and amber countered the acrid notes that the tea usually converts to on me. Cheap Girls The honey and beeswax did not do well with my skin. It smelled really waxy. My skin tends to do this with strong honey scents. Cherry Almondine (Kim's) This one smells just like Jergen's lotion. Wonderful! Christmas Clove Cookie (bottle) This one surprised me. I expected a stronger clove scent. I also expected it to turn slightly waxy on me. Butter tends to do that on my skin. Much to my pleasure, this one had more vanilla than butter on my skin. Very nice and subtle with a bit of clove to catch your nose as I walk by. Just enough to turn heads as you exit the room, but not so much as to make everyone stare when you enter. Classic Seduction Initially, the musk and rose were dominate on my skin. It was a little too sharp for me, which was surprising to me since rose generally does very well on my skin and I LOVE Musky Dusky Roses. I think it was the note that was aimed to be silk. As I aged, the other notes started to come out for me and the chocolate became predominate. Cleopatra's Blend 2008 (bottle) Wonderful! Nice floral top note with a deep sensuous base. Cocoa Fae (seamonkey's) (bottle) This is like a sweet hard chocolate candy, not like milk or dark chocolate. Yummy alone or a great way to add a hint of chocolate under any other LP. It wouldn't dominate. I mixed with Allegro, and it was just delicious. I don't typically like chocolate scents. While I don't think that I would wear this on it's own, it is light enough that I will definately use it to layer with other LPs. Cocamama I am one of the rare individuals that really like green scents. This one is definitely a green and slightly earthy. It is green and subtly woody. When I smelled it in the vial, I wasn't sure that I would like it. I put it on my skin and it warmed right up. Liz did a wonderful job with this one.  It is fairly complex to my nose and I can't pick out any individual notes when it starts to dry down. It is soft and subtly sexy. It has a very earthy feel to it. I say feel, because it doesn't smell like your typical earthy scent. Cocoa Sauvignon This one had too strong of a chocolate smell for my taste. Come to Me This one was just OK on me. Communication Potion (bottle) I really enjoyed the blend of florals and green in this one. Very soft, light and springy. It lasted much longer on my skin than I expected. It also had positive results in assisting with communication at a family gathering. Constant Craving This one was yummy, but it didn't last. 30 minutes and I couldn't smell it any longer. So sad... Couer de L'amour Wet, this one smelled very sharp to me. It must have been the wasabi & ginger. Now that it has dried down, I can smell a hint of floral and the faintest spice. Mostly, I smell the frankincense and woods. The amber is there, but very subtle. It is a different amber than is used in their sugared blend. The Treasured Hearts is covered well. It is a very light deep scent, if that makes sense. It is deep and has some nice staying power, but remains light at the same time. Hmmm, what can I relate this to... Excuse the chocolate reference to come, this has NO hint of chocolate in it - I am only trying to relate the deep and light comparison... It is like having a tan (1/2 the chocolate), 2% hot chocolate instead of a full-fat, full-chocolate one. It is not as rich and has a much lighter texture and flavor, yet it is still chocolaty and creamy. Cougar 2009 The rebrew smells fantastic! Just as deliciously grapefruity as the original. Crimson Black (hoarding) This one is wonderfully blended. I was not sure that the leather would work on me. The last two that I have tried with this note did not work with my chemistry. The musks and resins are perfectly dark and the roses are really mild on me. The leather gives just a hint of bite and the fruit is a sweet reminder that there is more to this than there appears to be. The notes merge together perfectly and the dry down is a soft secret whisper to come closer. Come on, lean in for the bite! Cuddle Bunny II Very pretty floral. Light and soft. Cuddle Bunny 2009 My skin amps the waterlily in this. It actually gave me a slight headache. Sometimes my skin chemistry just sucks… Cupidity This is very fresh and light. I agree with the reviews so far. To me, this one feels like a pale green. Like a pale oolong tea (color, not scent). It has a nice crispness to it and would be a great scent for those days that you want to feel carefree or a great light scent for the open workplace (should you choose not to flaunt your LP passion). Dangerous Games The berry on this one is amped on me. It is a bright pinky red that fades to a purplish-blue deeper berry. Dark Seductions Rich floral notes tempered with a deep amber base. Dries slightly powdery. Dark Seductions II The last version of this one just didn't do it for me. This one, however, is fantastic. I am covered in samples and ran across this one and said "what is that one?" I love it. A surprise for me. It is dark and seductive. Floral and resin. Soft and hard. Fantastically done. Dark Seductions III I was really not looking forward to this one. Both violet and lavender do poorly on my skin. This one, however, was soft and beautiful. Quite surprising and pleasing. Wonderful job ladies. Dead Man's Float Too close to root beer for my taste. I don't tend to like scents that are too "foody" Deliciously Wicked The chocolate is strong on me, but the honey and musk come out as it dries down. Dirty Pretty Thing This is deeper than I expected. I little dark, yet light and airy. Like having the windows open on a hot summer night. The fruits and florals mesh nicely. I like it. Not a bottle grabber for me, but definitely nicely done. Dirty Sexy (hoarding) The amber is strongest on me. It is spicy with a fruity background. Dolly's Dark Side I was actually expecting this to be a little darker than it was. So, I turned away from the ingredients list and tried to forget the previous reviews. I sniffed it anew. What I get is a dark floral with a heavy sweet vanilla right after application. As it dries, the florals stay in the front, but the resins start to add some depth and the black musk starts to pull up and join the party. The violet stays prominant on me throughout all of the stages. Down & Dirty This one made me think of a smokey piano bar. I could clearly smell the wisky and caramel with a deep base of spice and wood. Drac's Pink Pumpkin Witch This is definitely pink. The spices in this one are the mildest of the three. The pumpkin is there, but hides behind the pink creamy topping. Wet, I wasn't sure if I would like this one. However, as it dried down the spices came forward more. The pumpkin is a dry pumpkin, not a wet sugary version. more like the pumpkin in soul food. I like this one very much. Dracula's Bakery (bottle) Mmmm… This one smells fantastic. The allspice is predominate on me when wet. Sweet spicy goodness. As it dries, the pumpkin peeks out. The butter cream frosting and cinnamon make a late appearance and take the stage. This is delicious and edible. Fantastic creation. Dragon, Phoenix, Pearl Tea does not do well on my skin Dream Lover So sad for me... this one too was waxy on me. I think that I am going to set it aside and try it again at a later date. Dreams of Avalon (bottle) Very green with a hint of floral Eanie Meanie Miney The cinnamon in this is beautiful! It is slightly masculine, but not overly so. I love this. This is a great power scent and would be a good cover for any work scents (including the dominance phero). Effervenscence Wet: sparkly! I can smell the guava and passion fruit with a little floral. Drydown: Still sparkly… I love the exotic fruits. They are still there in this stage. The spices are perfect, they are not "spicy" but complement the exotic fruit perfectly. Egg This one did not agree with my skin Egg 2009 (hoarding) I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I was not a fan of the last brew and was expecting not to like this one. This is rich, creamy, and yummy. The chocolate is yummy, but not overly foody. I am enjoying this. Eggnog Riot (bottle) This smells identical to eggnog when wet. As it dries, the nutmeg and clove come out a little more. Once completely dry, it is a very creamy vanilla with a subtle hint of clove and nutmeg. Ego Boostier I don't know if it is the Wisteria or the Magnolia, but one of them turns on my skin. It is all I can smell. That and the strong waxy undertone from the honey. Damn my skin! Elan Vitale! This is a fun scent. The color this evokes in my mind is a peachy red that sparkles. It is bright and shiney. The grapefruit gives it that extra smile in a bottle, but is not overwhelming. There is just enough sweetness to tone down the sharper angles and make this a "rounder" scent. It makes me think of popsicles in the summer sun. Cooling down after a hot day, but still glowing. Elevation Potion Based on the description of the notes, I didn't think that I was going to like this one. Tea does not usually work on my skin. This one keeps drawing me back, however. This is my favorite scent this month. I really like it. It is light and has a very nice musky note to it. It is a sweet vanilla musk. I really love it. It is perfect. Empress of Persica This peach is soft. Not ripe and juicy. This like soft peach fuzz, but not at all powdery. It is a beautiful scent. English Tea (Lorelei's) This is very nice. It is very similar to one of the Bulgari tea scents. Essence of Luck This one is a little to light and floral for me. If you enjoy barely there florals with some staying power, this is a good one for you. Eternal Chain This one smells very fruity on me when wet. I don't have the ingredients handy as I write this, but it is a crisper fruit note (not a citrus or berry note). It's not juicy either. It is crisp and yet warm at the same time. As it dries, the fruits meld into a soft cushiony background for the rest of the notes. It becomes a soft and inviting scent that beckons you to come closer and yet dares you at the same time. It is a pull and a subtle warning. "Be careful" it whispers in your ear as it pulls you in closer… Hinting that once you are drawn in, you might not be able to escape. Eve's Temptation Nope. Not for me. All I get is cloyingly sweet fruit. I smell like a fruit salad specializing in ripe red apples. Everything Nice I lucked out and got this sample in a trade. When I first tried it out, I did not like it. There was something in the spice that I did not like. I set it aside to try on a day when I would remember to go back and sniff it again on dry-down. Today was that day. I am soooo glad I tried it again. I really like it after it settles down. It is not too sweet and not too spicy. There is some really nice depth to it and the brown sugar is just yummy. Evil In Carnation This is a wonderful spicy floral. By spicy, I mean the natural peppery spice of carnation - not added spices. It draws you in with the innocent floral and then you get a whiff of the dark undertones. Very beautiful. Eye of the StormI love this one! Soft and green. Subtle. I don't know how else to describe it. It is very feminine. The title is perfect. It is calm and yet shimmers with hidden power. Fairest This is definitely pink! Sweet with a hint of grapefruit. I also smell a hint of strawberry. I also get the feel of white chocolate, although I don't think this has any. Fairy Lure The lemon and orange came out first when wet. After it died down, the creamy vanilla came forward with the softest hint of apricot. Fairy Massacre Perfume A nice light floral. A little too light for my skin (it was gone in just over an hour), but beautiful none the less. Fallen Angel No cake on me either. Fooey! I do get a sticky sweet plastic, like the leftover icing container. Fayha Probably not the best thing to say in a review, but when I put this on my skin it smells like exactly like diaper cream. As it dries, it softens a little and becomes a little more "perfumy," but still has that odd diaper cream undertone. There is something in here that obviously does not work with my chemistry and I would highly recommend that you look at the reviews of others before deciding on this. Fear (Hess' House of Scents) (bottle) I definitely get the bamboo and musk. The Oak Moss is heady when wet, but softens up quite a bit. This is definitely green and sharp. It is heady and subtle at the same time. An unusal blend. I like it. I feel the citrus note both when wet and when dry. This dries to an almost powdery soft green. Very nice. Feral This one is lemony on me in an herbal kind of way. I am sure that is the vetiver. It is very pretty and soft, however, it doesn't "wow" me. Fest of Fools This one was a bit too fruity for me. Figgin' Awesome (Christine's) This is delicious! Wet: The sweet figs and raspberries are sauted in a warm brown sugar and vanilla sauce. The honey adds the perfect warm sexy zest. A hint of dark chocolate whispers around the edges, just barely there. After it dries, the fruit has softened quite a bit. It is like vanilla honey with a hint of fig. Super sexy! Those that like honey, will love this one! This would also make a great phero cover... Flapper This one did not agree with my skin Flower & Flame One of the florals in here does not agree with me. It gives me a raging headache. How unfortunate. I think that I can smell chili powder, which is pretty cool. Other than the headache, I really like this one. Flower of the Beast This is interesting and yummy. It is floral, fruity and almost spicy at the same time. It is surprisingly light. The snap dragon is very pretty and subtle. You can smell the dragon's blood, but it is not overpowering. There is something spicy in here, but it is in the background. There is also a hint of smoke, but also subtle. It is like all of the notes are melded together and sit in the background, wafting in and out. They take turns coming forward as the scent dries and changes with time. Not quite floral, not quite fruity. Somewhere in between. Definately a lighter scent. Not quite springy, but bordering on wanting to be. And not full bodied, as a winter or fall scent should be. It is transitioning from winter to spring... Flower of Venus This is misty, but not aquatic. I totally get the smell of heat that TG is referring to. I wonder if it is the blue musk. It almost smells like a floral insence. Not in a bad way, it just smells vintage. Very nicely blended. It is not an overpowering floral. Those non-floral people just might be surprised by this one. It also has a tinge of a green note in it. Fresh picked pansies, I think that is what I am getting there. The green is from the juices falling off the stem. This note is only there when wet. It disappears after it dries down. Focus Pocus I will start here by saying that I love the unscented focus potion. I have it added to several of my scents as an add-on and it totally works. I love wearing it to work when I have deadlines hanging over my head. I really am able to focus and "get 'er done." So for the phero portion of this scent, it rocks. OK, so for the scent of this… It doesn't overwhelm or underwhelm me. It isn't one that I love, but I also don't dislike it. It has a hint of citrus, yet also feels like it has a hint of mint. So, it is warm and cool at the same time. Balanced. Very good given the purpose. It is nice and undistracting, which might be good if you are trying to focus (you won't be busy huffing yourself). For the intent, it is a great scent that doesn't attract a lot of attention one way or another. When you need to really focus on a deadline or project and not be bothered, this may be just what you need; a scent that is nice, balanced and unassuming. Forever After The daffodil comes out strong on me. It is very sunny. This one reminds me a lot of Sun Catcher (I'm sure it is the daffodil). Fortune Cookie The tea did not like me. It smelled wonderful in the bottle and did not agree with me. Freya's Flirtation Potion Too woody for me. Frog The bamboo and waterlily come forward too strong on me. Any type of lily tends to overpower the entire fragrance when I wear it. Lily and tea are both notes that my chemistry just does not work well with. This one actually starts to smell like an unscented phero on me after about 5 minutes. not good. Frosted Mulberry, Cranberry and Plum This one was sweet and fruity. Not too foody. This reminded me of a yummy christmas candle. A little too much for me to use for everyday wear, but a perfect addition to my bath! G-String Wet: all I smell is the honey. As it Dries: The smoke and musks start to come out. Very interesting. Sexy. Oh, here comes the pear. Delicious and juicy. Not quite pear, but fruity. Darn it, just as I was beginning to think this one would work, the honey starts to wax up on me. Me and those darn honey scents. We have a love/hate relationship. I love them, they hate me... Gardenia Oriental (Ajia's) Mmmm… This one is unique. When wet, I get strong cardamom with subtle gardenia. As it dries, the cardamom calms down and sweetens up quite a bit. The gardenia stays subtle and provides a nice balance to the spice. After about 20 minutes, the myrrh starts to peek through in slow waves. Very nice. Garland & Lace I love the spices in this one. They are perfectly amped on my skin. mmmmmm.... I agree with Luna, someone can stuff my stocking... I can smell the hint of apple poking through after it dries down. mmmm.... Get StuffedThis is just wrong... It totally smells like peas and meat... Goblin Market: Chapter 1 While it doesn't state it as an ingredient, I can smell a touch of rose beneath the fruit. Goblin Market: Chapter 2 ~ Seduction This was too fruity for my taste. Goblin Market: Chapter 3 This one has the fruit of chapter 2 with some green and dark notes in it. Goblin Goo The grape and peach are strongest on me. My skin did not agree with the grape (very acidic smelling on me). Gothic XMas This one is wonderfully complex. I can smell the amber, fig and buttered rum. There is also a wonderful sweetness and just a hint of tart in the background. I can tell the green is there, but it is not at all what I thought it would be when I read that there was fir in it. The green is very subtle and yummy. Groupie Oh, I like this one! There is a note in here that I am in love with. I don't recognize it, so it must be the Karo Karounde. I don't even know how to describe this one other than loose and sexy. This smells like dirty sex if you throw in some sweet floral massage oil. Now that it has dried, the floral comes out a little more. It is a deeper floral, if that makes any sense. It plays into the dirty, sexy smell. It is a very feminine scent. Hot girl on a motorcycle in leather and high heels kind of girly. Very feminine in a bad-girl kind of way. Guilded Gardenia (Jo Anna's) (bottle) Oooohhh, this one is wonderful. This is the first gardenia that I have tried that doesn't give me a raging headache. I was leery about the honey, since it does funky things with my skin. The honey is VERY subtle, which is wonderful. Just enough to perfectly complement the vanilla and warm it up. Halloween Moon (hoarding) Wet - a hint of pumpkin (i agree with the "dry" description), clove and cinnamon. After it dries down, the pumpkin moves to the back and the clove tones down. The musk and the nutmeg come to the front in a soft wave without any powder. This is a soft creamy pumpkin with a really nice amount of spice. It is not foody at all, nor does it have that pumpkin pie type smell. The true pumpkin sits on top of a pillowy sweet creamy musk. The spices are lightly sprinkled on top and are not overly done. It has matured well! Hallowtide The apple was strongest on me. Too fruity for my taste. Hamantaschen The apple is strong in this one on me. Apple tends to dominate on my skin if it is an ingredient. I can also smell the vanilla and cardamom. After a few minutes, the apricot and peaches start to come forward. Very fruity. nice. Happily Ever After (Floh's) Wet, Cherry Almond. As it dried, it changes and becomes more complex. The different ingredients come out in waves. Happy Water I definately smell the bitter orange blossoms and ginger. The daffodil and jasmine also come out on me after about 10 minutes. It is a very pretty and soft floral. I enjoy this one. Hathor: Creation Potion Wet, I can smell the barley. As it dries, the honey, almond and Myrrh come out. There is something else in here that I really like after it dries down. I can't quite place it, but it is yummy. Heart of Fire This is a wonderfully warm scent. On me it is softer and not as firey as the other reviews are describing. On me, it is more warm and inviting. Like snuggling in a warm blanket next to a fireplace. Heart of Kapet This is a deep warm scent. Slightly incensy. Makes a wonderful bath oil mixed with Miasma. Heartland I didn't like this one. It was too dry and grainy Hecate's Night Potion I really like this one, but something in it gives me a headache. It is a very rich warm and woody floral. Heavy and intoxicating. Hera's Eye The lime did not agree with my skin. Hexen Tea does not do well on my skin. It also turned very soapy on me. His4Her The wood notes come out strongest on me when wet. The rum is a little lighter. The musks are nice and deep. When it dries down, this is like something that you would find on his shirt that he left over at your place. There is an underlayer of something sweet and soft. I would agree with the sweet skin reference. Holle This one was nice, but did not last long on me. I could definitely smell the fig. Hoodoo U Love This smells woody and green. Soft floral notes temper the wood. This was wonderful on me wet. As it dried, there was something in the floral notes that did not agree with my chemistry. Honey Ho Strong honey scents do not like my skin. To me, this smells exactly like Phero Girl without the pheros. A strong waxy overpowering honey. But, you should understand that all strong honey scents do this on my skin. The dark honey notes are amped and drown out everything else. Check out other's reviews of this one before deciding. Added note: I put this on next to Tahitian Temptress and after they both dried down the scents melded and smelled pretty good together. I still got the really waxy undertone from the honey and am not likely to get this myself, but I wanted to note it for others – good combo. Honeyed Fruit Blossoms (Shelly B's) This one is interesting. When wet, it was in your face floral. Wrinkly nose. Knowing LPs need to sit, I let it dry and focused on other exposed skin for a while. When I came back it was wonderful! Very sunny. The orange blossoms were the dominate note on me with the grapefruit giving it a little zest. The honey was subtle, which was nice. Honeyed Seductions The violet is beautiful. The ambers and vanilla come out strongest. Slight plastic smell wet (I think honey does that one me), but dried down nice. Honeyed Amber & Musk I am normally not one that does well with honey. Actually, it usually amps to a sickly sweet and then turns waxy on me. This one, however, is perfectly done. I like it. Honeyed Sin (Adrienne's) This one did the weird honey thing on me. Not a chemistry match. Honeyed Sandalwood & Vanilla (Jo Anna's) honey does not do well on me when it is a primary ingredient. It turns very waxy. This one just didn't work for me, as much as I love the idea. Honeysuckle, Earth & Peach (Erin's) The honeysuckle is dominant on me. The peach is in the background, but still slightly juicy. All of this is tempered with a dirty shadow of goodness. Hot Chick The mint does not come out on me at all. All I get is the sweet rose with a faint touch of spice. Very subtle. This would be perfect for blending with an unscented bubble bath base. Hot Treacle Trollop (Adrienne's) smells like hot dry cinnamon. Like throwing cinnamon over an open flame. Very dry. The patchouli is also very dry, like hot crispy resin. It makes me feel parched and like I need to take off all of my clothes just smelling it. It smells like how Hot Damn (the alcohol) tastes mixed with a dry patchouli. The maple and brown sugar even it out and ground it just enough. It is sweet, but in a dry kind of way. Like the brown sugar was left out to dry and harden and the maple is more like dry crisp maple leaves rather than a thick syrup. Hotness Personified Wet, the pineapple was dominant on me. I could smell sweet berries, but didn't get any of the other notes. Now that it has dried down for 15 minutes or so, I get a soft creamy blend that would be a really yummy blended drink! The pineapple is still dominate, but subtle at the same time. The berries are there, but not consistently. They waft in and out. The coconut cream is pretty steady in the background and the musk offers the perfect amount of powdery sex appeal just around the edges. Very nice. Grown up and girly all at the same time. For those concerned about the fruit, this is not too foody at all. I usually steer clear of fruity scents (except for my bath or for an oil warmer), and I really like this one. Hotter than Hell The hot peach in this is a lot milder than I expected. This is yummy. The pepper and spices are just perfect. Hoyden Wet - this smells exactly like the bottoms my pant legs when I have been hiking in the early summer after a light rain. I am hiking on a narrow trail, the grass and flowers that overhang on the trail are still damp. My legs brus against the flora and fauna, my feet trampling some as I go along. The juices are captured on my cuffs that hang just barely above the ground. This smells like spring!As it dries down, the grass notes sink back a little, but just a little. That note smells more like the stems of fresh picked dandelions than grass now. This is the perfect pick-me-up scent when I am longing for spring. The peach is there, but very very subtle. I expected it to be more dominate on my skin, but it is more like the scent of ripe peach skin than the juices of the peach. Very beautiful and subtle. Hummingbird Nectar This is sweet and fruity. The florals add just enough to keep this from being foody. I love the honeysuckle, which helps to balance the peach nectar during the really syrupy wet stage. As it dries, the other florals and nectarine start to peek out. This is definately a great scent for the tweens and teens. This is almost grown-up, but still syrupy enough to be young. I Don't Know, but it's green... This is sparkly! I can smell the lime and the hint of chocolate. It has a margharita feel to it, but not quite that. It definately has a boozy note, but not the typical boozy that you find in the other LPs. This reminds me of something that I can't quite put my finger on... It is something that I used to sell when I worked at the perfume counter at Nordstrom... It smells like there might be a hint of vanilla to this. Something is warming it up. I really like it. Immortal Beauty (bottle) Beautiful. Surprised me by not smelling "fruity". Very well blended for a nice light floral with a hint of fruit that is slightly deepend by the spices In the Lap of the Queen (bottle) My skin really pulled out the cedar in this. It was too sharp for my taste initially and then dies to a soft floral with a hint of cedar. After about 30 minutes, the amber started to come out. In the Mood too pungent for me. Not sure what it was, but it turned on my skin. Insight Potion (bottle) wet, I smell the nuts and berries. As it dries, I can smell the floral coming forward. It is a fairly complex scent that develops over time. It's like peeling an onion. The almond stayed with me the longest. After about 20 minutes the frank and myrrh come out to the front. Jazzy M&M (Christine's) This was a custom sugared that I had made. I think they only made the one bottle for me, so I felt special. . It has night blooming jasmine as the main note in it. I can't remember what I asked for as the other two notes… If you are interested, let me know and I'll pull my old invoice and find out… This is a very soft and pretty green floral. It makes me feel girly and pretty, but isn't the typical cloying floral. It is very soft and subtle. If I had to describe this as an image, it would be a picture very pretty girl in her Sunday best that has the edges softened and pulled in. The image is oval and the colors are softened and muted. It is the picture of innocence. That is what this scent is for me, childhood innocence playing on the edges of my femininity. Jewel of the Regency (bottle) I like this one. The rose is perfect and the neroli adds the perfect touch of sweet and bitter. It is a light scent that draws you near to smell it. Jouix De OK. Be warned – chemical disaster with my skin. This smelled like mothballs. Horrible perfume scent, let me tell you. DO NOT use my review in making your decision. I can guarantee you this was not designed to smell like mothballs and you should check out what others had to say about it. Jungle Colada The strawberry in this one is a candy-type strawberry, not a fresh juicy one. The strawberry is the dominate note on my, as it seems to be on others as well. The coconut is subtle and the other fruits are nicely blended and waft in and out. Very fruity. I am not really a fruity person, so this one is not one that I will keep around. However, for those that love fruity scents this is a good one. Just a Little Naughty (bottle) The jasmine is beautiful and gentle. This has a yummy vanilla sweetness and drys to a beautiful soft scent. This is the perfect balance of sweetness, floral and musk. Justice Potion a little too green for me Kingdom of Dreams Nice floral with a foundation of green. Long lasting. Kittenish very peachy La Belle Reveuse My skin does not do well with lavender. That is all I can smell in this scent on my skin. On me, it turns to a very sharp green lavender note. Not the soft lavender that I smell when someone else wears it. If you love lavender and it works for you, this is likely a good one for you to try. La Boom The chocolate is too strong for me. The raspberry is nice, but is in the rear. La Fleur Cremeus (bottle) Wet, this was icing sweet. As it dried down, it became very ... don't know how to describe it ... cozy?It is pretty sweet and foody going on, but it dries into a soft pillow of yumminess. It smells like breakfast in bed. The rose is on your tray, along with a wonderfully yummy pastry with a warm gooey filling. It makes me think of rose scented silk sheets (although it smells nothing like silk or linen, it is just how it feels). This is a wonderful new night time scent for me. It is very closely held when it dries. Almost requiring snuggling to smell the delicious sweetness caressing your skin. La Vie De Boheme (Men) My husband said this one was too fruity for him. La Vie De Boheme (Women) The coffee is too strong in this one for me. I think I need to let it age and see what happens Lady Casanova (bottle) This one is a nice floral. The tea does not come out too strong on me until about an hour into wearing. I have to layer something else at that point. Last Breath of Summer The lily of the valley and blood orange came out the strongest on me and did not make for a very welcoming combo on my skin. It smelled like Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner. Lava Rain This is a very sensuous scent that has a hint of dirty. That comes from the tobacco, I think. It is not overpowering, like I thought that it would be. The word I think of when I smell it is seductive. The musk is soft, mild and sexy. The water notes leave it smelling slightly wet even after dry down. The resins are softer than I expected. It is very nice and sensuous. Not at all overpowering. Le Sommeil Des Anges I like this one. It is relaxing and yet sweet and inviting. The apple blossom adds just enough mystery to make this a great daytime scent as well. Liberty Bell Wet - just like warm apple pie. Gooey and spicy with a soft apple. Linnea Quigley's RABID Very dirty smelling with a background of faint floral. It is a wonderful layering tool to temper strong florals. Linnea Quigley's Summer of Sin Makes me feel like the carribean! Lioness This was an interesting combo. The wood and tobacco came out strongest on my skin, making it a little too "woody" for me. Liquid Fluorite This one reminds me a lot of Century 21 Venus, which I LOVE. It is liquid sunshine in a bottle, except that it is blue. It definately feels blue, but it is like blue glitter and not bummed out blue. It is definately a great scent for work or for during the day. It is bright, fresh and crisp all at the same time. I great scent to head into fall with to remind you that life still sparkles. Liquid Magix This is much more subtle than I expected. Wonderful. The spices are mild and not overbearing at all. I usually amp both cinnamon and cardamom, but both are nice and subtle. The vanilla is not foody or creamy at all. It is in the background just wafting around. Almost green, but not quite. If vanilla could be a flower, that is what it is here. It is blended beautifully with the benzoin and ambergris. This is a very close scent. It still has some throw, but it is faint. Like you are smelling someone's shampoo and not their scent. Wonderfully blended. So glad I got a full bottle of this. Little Goth Girl Next Door As much as I like this one, it gave me a headache. I think it is the linen accord that doesn't like me. Liz's Sugared Dark Patchouli and Rose Otto (bottle) Beautiful combo of patchouli and rose. The rose comes out stronger on me with a subtle sweet patchouli background. Loco En La LunaAs much as I was looking forward to this one, there is something in it that tweaks on my skin. I love the full moon and the ingredients looked fantastic. I am not sure which one (or combo) it is, but I get a really sharp bite that tickles my nose. I waited for 20 minutes for it to fully mature, and that bite stays there the whole time. Sooo sad. Lolita's Kiss For me, the passion flowers came out on top with very little fruit. It dries into a very sexy resinous honey with the faintest hint of floral in the background. I enjoy it. I layered it with Plenty - FANTASTIC. Love at First Bite The currant, vanilla and amber are the dominante notes on me. It is very pretty and almost like a sweet floral. It almost smells like it has carnation in it, althought I don't think it does. The chocolate is very subtle and hardly noticible on my skin. My overall impression after drydown is a mouthwatering hard candy that is not overly sweet. Love Potion #9 This one is the only one that I have come across that "feels" like a store bought fragrance. "perfumy" Love Potion Three (women's) This one was nice, but turned too powdery on me. Love Potion: 11 This is a really nice spring floral with a hint of fruit. There is a soft musky/amber undertone. Love Potion: Autumnal Equinox 2007 This is warm and yummy. I can smell the cinnamon and a hint of dried apple. Love Potion: Autumnal Equinox 2008 (hoarding) The vanilla and amber come out strong in this one. I really like it. Soft and spicy. When I first put it on, I could smell the vanilla, pumpkin, corn and cinnamon. After it dried down, the resins really started to come out nicely. Now, several hours later, the amber and myrrh are very nice. There is a hint of waxy undertones for me, and I attribute that to the butter. This one I am able to wear for about 6 hours before that waxy undertone starts to really come forward. By then, the rest of the scent has faded enough that I can just slap on something new for the afternoon. Don't let the Corn and Acorn fool you. They don't smell "weird" at all. They add a nice crispness. This scent is really wonderful! Love Potion: Autumnal Equinox 2009 This one is complicated to my nose. I can smell the standard LP notes floating in and out of the additional fall notes. The apricot in this one is very subtle, just barely noticeable. This is not overly spicy, not overly fruity. It is a not a moist or juicy scent, nor is it dry. It is like fall leaves that have just fallen from the tree, just beginning to dry out, but still pliable. As it dries on me, it starts to develop a slightly waxy note. Love Potion: Black (Bottle) Absolutely LOVE. One of my favorites Love Potion: GREEN (hoarding) A slight green add to the regular LP. Nice and subtle Love Potion: Original (bottle) A nice blend of spice and floral. A very balanced blend with a hint of fruit just barely peeking out every now and then. Love Potion: Passion & Desire This is a super sexy combo! I love it! Red & Black. I totally get the cinnamon and deep resins. mmmmmmmmmm... there aren't enough m's for the mmmmmmm... Love Potion: Pink After it dries down, I get a wonderful vanilla and amber with pink sugar. There is the faintest hint of apricot. Love Potion: Pink 2009 There is something in here that my skin does not like. It is very sharp and almost acrid. I think it might be one of the berries. So sad. Some pink scents do this one me. Love Potion: Red Wonderful and warm. Love Potion: Silver This one is shiny! It is bright and cool at the same time. The perfect capture of a starlight's twinkle. Very nicely done. Love Potion: Spring Equinox 2007 The lily was dominate on me, as it usually is. Once it died down some, the sweet pea started to come out. Nice and soft bouquet with a subtle hint of greenery in the back. Love Potion: Spring Equinox 2009 This is quite pretty. The florals are nicely tempered by the vanilla and patchouli. I can smell the apricot and amber come out to play, but ever so slightly. The prominent floral on me is the sweet pea. Love Potion: Summer Solstice 2008 When wet the melon is a little overwhelming on me. As it dries, the vanilla and amber come forward. It turns to a soft fruity scent with a warm background. Makes me think of a warm summers day at the farmers market. Fully dry, a little plastiky. Love Potion: Summer Solstice 2009 OMG - this is purple! The color popped immediately into my head. It is not overwhelmingly grape, it is just purple. The berries and cream temper the grape and make it a smooth blend. This is probably one of the few fruity scents that I really like. It is not too foody or to fruity, but has a nice fruity undertone to it. Very nicely done! Love Potion: Winter Solstice 2008 smells too plastiky on me Love Potion: Winter Solstice 2009 (bottle) Wet: Cocoa, vanilla and woods. Drydown: There is the vanilla and amber. The wood has calmed down significantly. The peach and apricot start to peek out just slightly. The patchouli is barely noticable, just enough to add some depth… Love Salad This is a wonderful fruity scent. I am not a big fan of smelling fruity, so this one is not for me. Fruity scents make me think of my mom's house when I was growing up. She always had a variety of fruit scented potpourri around the house. For me, this is relaxing and homey. This one is very nicely done. Not overwhelmingly sweet, not to foody. It is a very bright summer fruit based scent that makes me think of sunshine Lover's Reunion 2008 Wet: daisy and daffodil with a hint of lemon verbena. I can also smell the ivy peeking through. As it dries, the spice of the carnation starts to come to the front . This one dries in "waves" with different notes coming forward at different stages. The fruits come in and out at different stages. The carnation stays with me through most of the stages. Complex and very pretty. Lunantishee This is a fruity floral that has some staying power. I can't quite put my finger on the ingredients in this. I can smell some sort of fruit, but am unable to identify what it is. There is a little rose in the background that comes out after about 15 minutes or so. if you like florals, you will love this one. Manifestation Potion + TAF (bottle) soft gardenia, very nice Mapacho I loved this one. I do get slightly smokey. I get a hint of tobacco. It is yummy and slightly masculine, but not too much. Marley's Ghost I can't quite put my finger on the notes in here. There is something that smells old. Like dust in the moonlight. I can't describe the notes, but I love it. May Day (bottle) I was pleasantly surprised to have fallen in love with this one. I am so glad I ordered a full bottle. This is beautiful! Floral with just a hint of fruit (but not too strong) and a nice green undercurrant. Not green, but a green undercurrant. It also has a slightly deeper feel, which is probably from the wood and nuts. I was expecting the violet to really turn on me, luckily it is an extremely subtle note on me in this blend. The tranquility potion is fantastic. I wore this when I was having a really rough day and it totally turned my mood around. . Me, Jane I feel like a day at the beach! Yummy. Medium (bottle) This one is dark and deep with a light dusting of floral. Very nice. Dries down soft, but not too powdery. Mercury Retro Naught 2009 I am sooooo excited that this one is finally back! It is surprisingly soft. A great subtle support for the craziness that surrounds us during Mercury Retrograde, reminding us to see the sweetness in our experiences. It is green, but not green. Soft, yet sharp. Edgy, yet well rounded. Perfectly balanced. Mermaids of Atlantis I scored a swipe of this from Jo Anna when I was at her house tonight. Wet, the mango was strongest on me. although, it smelled more melony than like mango. I didn't really like it. However, after i got home and started sniffing (about 2 hours after application), I get a beautiful soft magnolia and a slight waft of gardenia. The coconut is very faint, barely there. It was surprisingly soft and feminine. No hint of the fruit left. I enjoyed it. Miasma Beautiful floral. Midnight Garden (Ivory Pixie's) (bottle) This is far more beautiful than I expected. Wet, it is a sweet syrupy floral. As it dries down, it lightens up. I expected the lily to be overpowering, which is easy to do with this one. It is beautifully melded with the other florals and not dominating at all. I am getting a bottle. I can't even describe the complex beauty after this dries down. Mielihyva Wet: fresh blueberries and grapefruit. Crisp and juicy at the same time. Drydown: This smells exactly like a scented eraser without the waxy note. It makes me feel like a kid. It is nice and light and would be a perfect "first perfume" for a tween. Mistress Christmas I smell spiced baked pears. delicious. Money Honey This is bright. The grapefruit is the strongest note on me when wet. The patchouli then comes in and deepens the scent. As it dries, much of that "twang" that is typical of a bright grapefruit note goes away. I think it is the patchouli tempering it. The honey sweetens it up nicely. Those that like Cougar Scented will probably like this one. Moon Goddes: Isis (bottle) All I can say is YUM. If you like amber, you will like this one. Morning of Glory Sunny and floral. Those that like Sun Catcher will really like this one. The daffodil was the strongest note on me throughout the different phases. Bright, floral and slightly green. The Frank & Myrrh add a nice depth to the scent, helping with the staying power. The bamboo gives it a gentle green watery note that helps to temper the strong florals. Give this one a minute to die down. The florals were a touch strong when I first applied, but it takes a minute for the bamboo, frank and myrrh to pop in and pull the the florals back down a notch. Morrocan Nights Wet, this was sweet, syrupy and fruity, yet distinctively exotic. There is some sweet spice in here (cardamom?). I can smell the pear and fig coming in and out and get the feel of spiced apple. The violet is peppery, yet soft. As it dries, the violets start to come out nicely. When completely dry, it is an almost intoxicating floral. Like being surrounded by violets on a hot, humid summer night. The scent clings to you and the hint of exotic fruit and spiced liquor from a shared dessert clings to your lover's breath. The two mingle as you close in for the kiss. Very sexy, in a subtle way. Mother ShipOn me, this smells slightly like lemon cookies. scrumptious. Mummy Chunks smells just like a warm chocolate chip cookie Mummy Stuffing When I first put this on, I got a heavy linen smell that I did not like. After about 5 minutes, that dies down to a warm spice. I love it. The linen is still there at the back, but not as sharp as it was initially. Cinnamon always does well on me, and this one is no exception. Music of the Spheres (bottle) This one is wonderfully complex. I can smell some sort of mint underneath it all. I love the spikenard! It starts out dark and woodsy with some thick green, and then it dries down to a beautifully sweet silken gold (if I could describe it as a color, it would be a deep golden amber). It is soft with a hint of powder, but even that is very subtle. It makes me think of a day in a forest. The morning starts out dark, cool and crisp with a light fog brushing the ground. As the sun rises and warms the air, the sweet smells of the forest start to come alive and intermingle. By mid-day, the shadows are gone and the sweet smells tease the senses. As the day winds down and the sun sets into the distance, the sky turns a deep golden color and the sweet smells start to dissipate as the fog starts to settle in for the night. Musk in the (Pixie) Dust (Seamonkey) (hoarding) I love this one! I captured two bottles before it was sold out. It is a beautiful cotton candy with a soft sweet musk. It makes me think of the state fair. The cotton candy is not an in-your-face sickly sweet. It is more like the smell of soft pink fluffy cotton candy wafting through the air as you walk by the kiosk/stand at the fair. The musk is beautiful and soft. This is perfectly blended and balanced. It is a wonderful layering scent. My favorite combo is this and Aura Armor. It makes me feel safe, happy and warm inside. Like snuggling inside a cozy blanket in front of a raging fire. Musky Dusky Lavendar This turned on my skin to a horrible, horrible thing... Bad chemistry Musky Dusky Jasmine This is just what it says. A soft, musky jasmine scent. It is a little strong on it's own for my taste, but would be a great way to add a touch of floral to a dark, resinous scent (which is what I got it for). Both this one and Musky Dusky Roses are fantastic for just that. The musk in the scent tones down the florals just enough that when I add it to a darker scent, it melds perfectly – giving me the perfect feminine edge when I need to soften up the "image" just a touch. Musky Dusky Roses (bottle) soft and powdery roses Musky Dusky Pure (bottle) This is a great layering scent. It is a soft musk that dries to a nice sweet and slightly powdery finish. This is a nice blend of musks (it is like a sugared musk) and there is a faint green note hidden in there somewhere.
  18. I'm with Isa. No cake on me either. Fooey! I do get a sticky sweet plastic, like the leftover icing container.

    Mapacho

    I loved this one. I do get slightly smokey. I get a hint of tobacco. It is yummy and slightly masculine, but not too much.
  20. This one is true to it's name. It is very waxy on my skin. I can't smell any other notes.
  21. I love cinnamon scents. I was very much looking forward to this one. It really does smell like a cinnamon bun. I enjoy it. Once it is thoroughly settled, however, the cinnamon is all that I smell. The other notes fade completely away. My skin naturally amps spices anyways, and that makes this a bit spicier than I like it.
  22. I was really not looking forward to this one. Both violet and lavender do poorly on my skin. This one, however, was soft and beautiful. Quite surprising and pleasing. Wonderful job ladies.
  23. As much as I was looking forward to this one, there is something in it that tweaks on my skin. I love the full moon and the ingredients looked fantastic. I am not sure which one (or combo) it is, but I get a really sharp bite that tickles my nose. I waited for 20 minutes for it to fully mature, and that bite stays there the whole time. Sooo sad.
  24. This peach is soft. Not ripe and juicy. This like soft peach fuzz, but not at all powdery. It is a beautiful scent. Full bottle for me.
  25. This is just wrong... It totally smells like peas and meat...
