This is the one I most wanted! JD, does it seem a lighter scent or richer/deeper? It seems like the lemon would lighten it up but I can't picture the combo with maple which I find tends to give some body and depth to scents (on me). Can't wait to try this out. Can't wait!!

Finally, a review! Thanks Hearts. I'm so excited!!! This one sounded really good and I decided this one was worth a FB. Monday (hopefully) can't come soon enough!

Rose, the links Mel and Halo gave are really great for reference. I actually printed out a copy for myself so that I could reference it if I wasn't sure about something as I looked at perfumes. The Wiki is about five or six pages I think but having a hard copy, if possible, helps if you want to mark it up or what-not. Or you can be like a co-worker of mine and put everything in an Excel spreadsheet.

I found a notification in my box!! Yippee hoo.

It'll be a couple of days late but I'll be considering this my personally chosen birthday present!

No notice yet for NRs. Looking forward to reviews from everyone that has them or has them on the way!!

JD, thanks to Hearts I got the chance to try Honey Bunny and that ended up being one of my first January orders. It smells soooooo good! As much as I can't wait for NRs to arrive, I almost dread it... I know my resolve will start to slip!

I am trying (unsuccessfully I might add lol) to only buy bottles of things I absolutely love...the failing part is that I'm getting bottles of things I also THINK I will absolutely love as well...because I'm too impatient for samples to get here

When I first started, there were soooooo many that sounded wonderful and soooooo many that were no longer available. I agree wholeheartedly with you NuTrix. I have bought bottles that I was too impatient to wait for samples because I was afraid that they would be gone before I had the chance to get a bottle. This month, a part of me totally could have gone for the whole collection and as it is, I got half. Still not a great track record but it's better. I've even gotten rid of a few bottles that were wonderful but just weren't me. I think as the year progresses, I'm going to practice restraint and maybe just try doing the samples first unless something really truly calls out to me. Even if I'm too late to order a FB, there's always the trade threads! And I think anyone involved with LPMP can attest to the fact that I am not lacking perfume anymore. LOL

If it helps any Donsie, I didn't have to burn any clothing because of the smell. LOL I just threw it in the washer and it came out just fine. You'd probably have to worry more about clothing such as coats/jackets/etc. that aren't or can't be washed on a regular basis. I wouldn't suggest putting a shirt, let alone a jacket, on before letting the cops dry down!!!

Donsie, I think there are plenty of others that don't mind the smell of cops. I've kind of liked it myself! There's only been once or twice when I first started that I got the nasty sort of smell that others talk of and that was because I inadvertently got some on my shirt. When you smell on your clothing a few hours after application, I can see why it's important to let it dry down!! It does give off a scent that makes you want to move slowly in a windless room. It's not for everyone as the diversity of reviews here go to show but you are certainly no weirdo for liking the smell!

RE Blue, I've got both NOCO and OCCO Blue and on me, although the cops itself blends in to obscurity, I still get a faint "twang" that changes the scent just the slightest bit and personally, I actually like that more!

I didn't even think of OCCO Black when I ordered Decadent Diva but looking at the notes, you're right! I can't wait to hear if anyone gets that impression once it arrives.

NuTrix, I had wondered about bottles in inventory myself for quite some time. Thanks to MissHazel's help, I figured out how to do it. I just made a mini tutorial in the General LPMP thread for everyone. Take a look and see if that will help. Sorry for thread jacking!

Ah Rose, I am so glad that you ended up loving this so much. I really thought you would like it but with your chemistry, it could've been a surprise. Not sure how many are left. I think last time I looked it was getting low so you may want to stock up while you can!!

And yes, I will attest to the fact that you have the wonkiest skin chemistry and therefore you can be and are...a total "Civet Ho".

Good to see you back on here Rose!! Always miss you when you're gone. I agree with Halo, birthdays are for splurging!! And there are so many you can choose from (I'm thinking Decadent Diva maybe?) With mine coming up, I started early. I figure I can make this work a week before until a week after!

This one sounds good! It's taken me awhile but I've come to appreciate the fine qualities of the different honeys. Can't wait to try this one and especially with some AJA already built in!

So happy you got an Absinthe Eggers!! I love that one.

I got the Strawberry Cream, Moon Sugar Candy, Cherry Divinity, LP White, Orangzipan... ok, half the collection. And a sampler for the rest. I'm thinking if it's not quite me, there's probably a couple there my daughter might like and the ones I didn't get, I wanted to try but weren't quite sure they were FB. You know how it goes though; there's probably something in the samples I will kick myself for not getting.

Concur with everyone else... loved the direction of your story Luna. They definitely need a reappearance somewhere soon!!

This is probably the one I most look forward to. Can't wait to try it!! It strikes me as a Valentine's "Let us make mad passionate love followed by you making me breakfast" sort of scent.

Welcome!! I think it's really great to share with those around you! Can't wait to read your reviews and what you have found from your experiments/experience!!

They all looked AMAZING. Did I say that big enough: AMAZING!!!! I actually was reserved in my ordering.

Thanks for the tips Irish but I'm afraid I've already re-homed SLF to a place where it is getting more love than it was here with me

 

SLF doesn't have the orchid that JD does - which I LOVE so much about JD - and Dance of Passion is lighter than JD to me, even though it's got some of the same notes, it's missing the ambers an vanilla.

I think I'm still one of few who adore JD and that nothing else comes quite close enough. The honeys in SLF and DoP go powdery on me, not in a bad way though. JD is chewy and dripping honey with orchid in the background, it's actually sweet honey and amber with my chemistry - LURV!

 

I think that's when I first found out about civit too... I think it's the civit in SLF that gives it that naughty-naughty vibe

I love JD for the same reason NuTrix. Have you ever thought of layering Dance of Passion with a vanilla or amber? When you brought that up, I thought maybe I might try that and see what happens. But as someone told me when I first had SLF (and didn't have JD yet), there's no comparison. OCCO SLF is a tame little pussycat compared to Jouir De but it surely does smell good when you haven't taken it out for a drive in a while - much like Sex & Violins.

I'm all for stalking and can't wait to see the NRs but I have to admit this first: Luna, that avi is frickin hot!!! I did a double take. Do you have a blow up of that anywhere? LOL

Ok, now that I've said that: Holy shmoly, yippee!!!!!! Can't wait, can't wait!

Lol. Indeed!!!!

Let's see... Phero enhanced with Dom: "Crack" that Whip

Dope Go Breaking my Heart

JD, maybe its theme is Intervention like the show. If Mara wasn't sure what a bunch of addicts we were before, cutting us off since November has proven that. Maybe a nice mellow foodie scent named Bong Baby Bong?

Mara: You better hurry with those NRs. Everyone has been waiting double the usual time. They have already cross-leveled and traded out scents they do not use. Right now they are trying to gently trick information out of Luna and Halo but there has already been talk of duct tape and feathers. And it can go downhill fast from there. The Artfire site going back up is good but it is not bleeding off enough pressure. Junkies can go from pleasant to dangerous if you string them out loo long. Personally, I am doing OK as there are only 1-2 NRs for men a month and none on some months. So I am used to it. These ladies on the other hand .... well, things could get ugly here soon.

O. M. G. That is the funniest, most true statement. I so needed a good laugh. Thank you QG for keeping me from wanting to cry.

It's funny you say that because when I wear MRF, I ALWAYS get comments how I make people hungry for pancakes because I smell like tasty waffles and syrup (or candy a couple of weeks back)! LOL

And YES to Money Potion... this one comes across as actual brown sugar. It actually makes me hungry because it smells like something truly edible. Such different ways for it to come across and love them both. I do now however something to reference for a future PE when we can order again!!

Tyvey, I'm with you on the brown sugar. I LOVE that part. Starts very fruity and then it's as if someone comes along and sprinkles brown sugar over the top. I think I've become a brown sugar junkie here.
