Fleur

In the bottle, it smelled like vanilla ice cream; on my skin, more of a cotton candy.

I'd die for vanilla ice cream scent on my skin, sorry it did not work for you that way. This one seems like worth trying though to see if it would turn creamier on me, not sugary. Out of the two I have: Beth's Blushing Milkmaid and A Lick of Cream, the latter is way too sweet.

PS...

I LOOOOVE you're avi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its Tiara from very old anime called Shamanic Princess. Or her battle form actually. That's one of most stylish and beautifully drawn animes I've ever seen.

Here's another pic from it:

OCCO SLF is a quintessence of smelling sexy for me. Can't wear it too often as sweet scents wear me down after a while, but it is great and gets me tons of compliments from people. SLF is also quite strong so I have to watch myself not to overapply it.

Today I'm wearing it with my LFM unscented.

At start OCCO SLF is soft ambery and slightly powdery honey on me. After an hour or so it deepens and gets this wonderful humid hue to it that I can't quite describe. Somehow reminds me of flower garden smell after rain, but it's still rich honey&amber. Probably it's musk acting that way, even though I don't perceive musks as humidity in any other scent. Coworker told me once that I smelled like an exotic flower with this fragrance, and I kind of understand where that is coming from even though flowers there are mostly a feel, not a real scent.

One of my favs for sure

Welcome Fleur! You will love it here! : )

No doubts on that!

Welcome to the greatest place on earth! (like you didn't see that coming from me???)

 

Good to see you here at last!...I knew it was only a matter of time

Haha! I could not resist for too long, this place is indeed great

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Sounds like you are already becoming as addicted as everyone else.

You nailed it!

Hi Fleur!

 

I'm very much a newcomer to the boards myself, but I just wanted to say welcome. I, too, felt I was "not good" at describing fragrances, but people here were very encouraging, and I've posted my first couple of reviews and people were very kind. So I just wanted to encourage you to jump on in. (Plus, it's pretty clear from what you've written here that you are quite skilled at talking about what works for you, and what doesn't, and why!)

 

I look forward to reading about everything that's in your huge order. My big package is on the way too! What fun we're all going to have!

 

Oh, and Coconut Breeze has been without a doubt one of my all time favorites. I'll be eager to hear what you think!

Thank you for all that encouragement!

And I actually read your review on Coconut Breeze in it's thread before ordering, now you're making me even more excited about getting it! On paper it seems awesome with all notes I like and great reviews, but I'll have to try for myself to know for sure. Definitely will be reporting on that one.

Hello and welcome to the forum!!

Thank you!

Welcome!! You should try Fleur de Vanille. It's a softly floral vanilla and isn't too sweet on me (on me at least).

AND it matches my forum ID! Shame I did not find it earlier, definitely putting it on my wishlist now

Many thanks for suggesting it

Hello everyone!

I am a European 26 yo nerdy scientist girl who uses pheromones and nowadays is also in love with LP fragrances. I’ve been lurking here for a while reading reviews and other valuable information, and now after placing another big order (my 4th by now) decided to finally introduce myself.

Some people here know me from Pherotruth forums as that is the place I initially found out about LP. I started with ordering couple of unscented mone blends and also added some perfume samples just to see what everyone is raving about. Not all the scents I got worked for me but I found some that were absolutely amazing and made me want more. Now I am totally hooked and happy with it!
Pheromone blends I got from LP proved to be good too, but now I prefer pheromone enhanced fragrances to them as I think matching scent greatly enhances pheromone effects and Mara does amazing job with her scent creations.

I am definitely not good at describing fragrances but I’ll try to participate and will continue to learn from all of you. Any advices are always welcome as I am all about obtaining knowledge

Scent wise I tend to like ambers & light musks (TMI), soft misty florals(think 4^th dimension, Promise) and creamy vanilla based delicious goodness that is not too sweet (Beth’s Blushing Milkmaid). I don’t like heavy resinous scents and anything with patchouli or (dark) chocolate. Fruits can be tricky too; mostly everything exotic goes too sharp/sweet on me. Surprisingly I like my Buttercream Peach LAM bottle though. I would not even think of buying it but I got Shen Tao sniffie with my first order and was totally in love with it so I wanted to try something similar. I think it’s the buttercream that makes those two good for me. Citrusy notes are usually nice on me, unless too sweet, but I am not too fond about them being main accent in fragrances. Honey can be nice too; Phero Girl and OCCO SLF smell great on me, but the sweetness makes me want to rotate them with some lighter and fresher scents.

I love that Mara sends those free sniffie packs with orders, those have helped me to discover some great scents that I wouldn’t have tried based on their descriptions. Latest two sniffie surprises were Saturday Night Special and Halo’s Cocoa Lily, so I had to get both with my order in addition to bunch of other interesting stuff. Rum and berries usually scare me off, but Saturday Night Special is so wonderfully balanced that it works great. As for Cocoa Lily, well, real lilies always give me crazy headaches and I never liked scent of chocolate so again, those two notes in name and description turn me off with no doubts. But apparently on me it is creamy marshmallow based lily of the valley and is absolutely gorgeous.

Now have huge order coming so will have plenty fragrances to test. Coconut Breeze is something I am very excited about as is basically everything else. Can’t wait to get that package

Oh, I wanted to write a short introduction but all that just kept coming to my mind… Well, I guess no one doubts now that I do like Love Potion fragrances very much.
