I love this one. Absolutely love it. I'd get back up bottles if they were still available. It smells the same in the bottle as it does on my skin. It's tart and tropical, very juicy and fresh. After a couple of hours another dimension comes in as it develops a creamy, almost vanilla side. That just supplements the notes that are already there as they steadily continue. It's so delicious! The scent lasts a long time and stays strong throughout. I have to be careful not to put too much on because this one doesn't fade at all. Its strength also helps it cover pheros really well. I just cannot say enough good things about this scent. It is one of my favorites.

It's been years for me since I've worn this scent, but I can almost smell it from your description. I don't know what was in this that gave it such good staying power and strength, but I was amazed of its longevity because I could smell it for the whole day. I thought I might still have a bottle of this somewhere but apparently not. I hope this comes back!

My package should be here tomorrow!! I’m so excited, I probably won’t sleep tonight just because of the anticipation and then the mailman won’t get here until 9pm🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Your Beach Sol 🏝️ smells soooo nice! I have it on my left arm right now. Speaking of excited, I did not give it time to rest!

For Private Edition reviews, do we need to wait for a new official review thread to be created or we could just start one?

If there is anything left that doesn't fill a bottle, we use that for itties, and I have asked Izzy to pull a bottle each of a few of them for the same, we'll try to get them into these outgoing orders.

Thank you so much for the free samples, Mara! 💝 Some of them are of the ones I was curious about too, but I didn't want to order them in case they were too masculine on me. I just got my package today and I'm very excited to try them out!

Passion & Envy!

I usually do not like rose in fragrances since it tends to dominate the other notes, or perhaps my nose just picks up the scent and focuses on it, but it blends really well in this one. The cream rounds out the fruits and gives it good depth. 

 

This is a very bright and comforting fruity fragrance that, in my experience, has made people feel happy, nostalgic, and sentimental. It has the effects of Levitation or Topper just by itself! The ingredients may no longer be available but if it comes back, I am interested in getting a couple of spray bottles: one with Levitation/Topper and one without just to see if it makes a difference.

That's a very old PE we did years ago, and no, it was not ordered again this year. One was along those lines though. Dreme Creme.

 

Thank you, Mara! I am curious about Femme Fatale's Dreme Creme, Kayla's Creme a l'Orange, Kayla's Ruby Goo, and Cherise's Whipped Dream since I really enjoy foodie/gourmand scents, but I decided to get something else for more variety. I actually ordered Amanda's Beach Sol mainly because you said it turned out, "soooooo goood!" and I have a good feeling about it even though the notes are not the ones I usually go for. I'm looking forward to the reviews of the others I won't get to try.

Thank you for clarifying Luna!

 

The one I had in mind was

Halo’s Lavender Musk:

Skin musk/soapy possibly

Sweet lavender

vanilla-I was waffling between vanilla bean and dry vanilla

Dark Amber

Mara, 

 

I just saw your comment about what you’re trying to invoke with a scent. 
For me, it’s comforting but sexy. Like being effortlessly put together and clean but still something that people can’t quite put their finger on but it’s familiar and intriguing. 

 

 

Did this get created as one of the Private Editions? I was looking for it because it sounded interesting but I could not see it in the other thread. 

Could I please reserve the following: 

• Amanda's Beach Sol
• Black Panther (if there's any left after the rebrew)

Thank you!

 

 

Thank you for the advise Rose! I chose to get the OCCO: Ambrosia instead based on what you said. Cocoa/dark chocolate is okay on me but it's better with vanilla. However I don't know how it would turn out with the combination of honey. I envy you for being able to wear honey! I can only eat it!

Is the honey strong on this one? Honey seems to disagree with me. I've tried multiple LPMP products and those with honey just don't meld well with my skin. (Examples: OCCO: SLF, Honeyed Love Potion)

 

I'm considering getting either this or OCCO: Ambrosia because that one doesn't have Honey.

• A coffee shop type scent (with caramel)

A long-lasting fruit scent (something with peaches or mangoes)

Something homey with vanilla

A fresh work/study scent (minty)

I'm wondering how a spray version of this will be like. I know it's still an OCCO and would be much better as a roll-on, but since it hides the cops very well, I'm thinking maybe it will be fine being sprayed on. What do you think ladies?

Is this sold out forever? I hope they make new ones or put this in the permanent collection!

 

I just got a sample of this and whenever I wear it, interaction with people just goes very smoothly.

 

I'm just skimming over the surface of its effects with that statement, but this is a definite hit to people and I've been getting self-effects from it too.

I'm not the type to comment about notes for I don't have much experience in identifying them. I just smell something and attach them to a certain sensation, or perhaps an abstract description.

 

Since I started wearing this, almost everyone, who came into our room at work would comment, "Your room smells so good!"

 

At first I thought it was just because our room is so small, but when we moved to a larger room and we had at least 20 people in it, someone asked whether we sprayed or lit something in the room. In fact, before she left, she became quite emotional and said, "The smell here reminds me so much of home. Thank you so much!"

 

It would have been enough for me if it was a diffused smell that made the whole area smell good. I thought the scent couldn't be traced back to me. But when I would pass by, quite a few people would go, "You smell awesome!" And when I would join a group of people, after some small talk, someone would randomly say, "Someone smells good in here..." and they would start sniffing.

 

A little goes a long way, and it lasts the whole day for me. Some scents are gone by midday, but this one I can still smell even while showering at night. It has great staying power and most people love the smell.

 

I know two people who don't seem to like it though. One girl said that our room smelled like Play-Doh and she didn't like it, and this was during the time everyone else was complimenting the smell of our room. One guy said, "Someone smells like a candle shop and I don't like it," It depends from person to person.

 

With that said, I love Passion & Envy. So far, this is my favourite scent. It makes me sad that this is limited edition and I feel like one day it will just be gone.
