Welcome back Loquacious!

Hmm...LFM works great for me! I do have Dom, which of course is akin to Leather Light. Dom makes me feel more focused, sharp, and organized. LFM makes me feel as if I can walk into any situation and have confidence radiating from every pore! Each has their significant merits. Decisions! Have a great time, do your stuff, and leave them wanting more. You've got this covered!

Thanks Luna! So it's EOW Light. Got it now, and it's a great idea really. More user friendly for use with lighter scents and for those who can simply not tolerate the full strength EOW.

I am so envious that the cherry decided to stay, and hang out with you, Stacy. It completely bailed on me. OK, seems I missed something significant here. What is Sheer Essence?

Birkeys, I am so very sorry to hear all of what you are going through! I, and many others here will be sending you positive thoughts and prayers. Hang in!

Ohhh... MDC. I know I would love it. Cherry is divine! My favorite fruit. Perhaps when I finally have a PE done, it will be a knock you over the head, right in your face, I will NOT be ignored, cherry scent. Hmmm..now you've got me thinking! And yes, by all means try the Sugared Cherry with it! I plan to and will post back with results. Just giving the precious a little time to settle in.

I would spring for a bottle of this if Mara did a review. Sounds..yummy!

Thinking along the same lines MDC. It is very pretty, I think it will age beautifully, but not exceedingly Cherry.

I didn't get much cherry in Lusty Cherry either MDC. I thought it was just me. Am going to try applying some Sugared Cherry over it. I have some major Cherry Dinity envy! LOVE Cherry!

Lainey, to my nose, one might interpret it as syrupy in a brown sugar way? But again, I have some seriously strange skin chemistry which tends to amp the hell out of some notes. Brown sugar is one of them. You and others might perceive it as syrupy, but to me it is just brown sugar. It could even be that the vanilla paste that Mara used in this one is one that I am unfamiliar with and that is what I am picking up on?

Ahhh ok, that is good to know, Luna. This is something that I can take into consideration when looking at notes. Thank you.

Got my package yesterday before the blizzard began! Great timing! I didn't order the sampler set, so I didn't get the pink bag, but I *do* love my drop dead gorgeous RED beaded bag! Thank you for that, the timing, and the generous sniffies Mara!

I finally got mine!!! This is *very* beautiful! In the bottle, I get delicious cherry warmed by I am guessing, a buttery vanilla? On my skin wet, it is all about the CHERRY!!! Then, something happens and my skin drinks up all of the cherry scent and I am left with something that smells on my skin, very much like the lovely LP Original. I love LP Original! But where did the cherry go to?? Oh no! I lost my cherry AGAIN??? Not sure how that would be possible, but since my skin can wear and hold cherry really well in other perfumes, this is really baffling. I don't really get vanilla on my skin either as much as I do something that smells like brown sugar? My skin amps brown sugar like crazy, so what I am left with once it settles in on me is almost what I would describe as a variant of LP Original. This is not at all a bad thing, but I was expecting something of a cherry bomb. Hmmm.. perhaps this needs some time to settle in from travel shock a bit. if I am still not getting that cherry note, I do have Sugared Cherry and could try boosting the cherry power with that. This really is beautiful, though not what I expected considering the strange disappearing cherry act. Still, all in all, very nicely done, Storemy and Mara!

Y'know, I requested a trial of this one, wanting to believe that all of the other wonderful ingredients would make the leather work on my skin ( leather never works on my skin) which always transforms leather notes into a weird, chemical, plasticy, more PVC than leather scent. Rather than the rose taming the leather, combined on my skin, this turned into.. wow, I hate to say this... a funeral home sort of smell. I'm so sorry Mara!!! It seemed really NICE in the bottle! It was only when it hit my skin that disaster ensued. I adore the label on this and if your skin can handle leather notes, I think this one , going by how it smells in the bottle could be a really complex, unique, and on the right skin, beautiful. Just not for me.

I got a trial vial of this one. When I saw cherry as a note, I had to! Wet, it is as I had hoped, cherry, pink sugar, and lemon. VERY pretty! As it dried down, other unexpected notes came forward. I can't say they were making themselves known, because it was a mystery to me. Sadly, the cherry disappeared, and I was left with a rather exotic blend of citrus, resins, and even though not listed as an ingredient, somehow, florals??? Hmmm.. not sure how that happened, but am seeing that nutrix's nose caught that note too. I am not a big fan of florals, but the other ingredients do seem to temper them a good deal. This is nice, it really is. Not a FB for me, but happy I tried it.

So sorry I missed out on this one.

I agree Lovestruck! I love this one. The scent is warm, sweet, and beautiful, and bathes the atmosphere of your home with a truly welcoming warmth and coziness. As for the Gotcha, my partner and I both enjoy the relaxing and somewhat cheery vibe it lends. I am well stocked up on this one and now looking to experiment with other scents and pheros, but you can't go wrong with this one in my opinion. It makes your home feel more "no place like home."

Thanks Cherise! It just might be in my phero' d wax melt future.

My partner and I are both REALLY enjoying the scent of Drive By Fruiting! It *is* fruity for sure, but there are some other notes that just throw off a beautifully clean scent. Clean, crisp, bright, and sunny! I am going to have to say that next to Sugared Honeycomb, which has a totally different feel, this one is my favorite. The fact that it has Open Windows is a big plus too. I imagine that this one pairing really well with Levitation too. I didn;t order nearly enough of this one, so just ordered more. I would love to see this become a regular LP staple in the home scents.

I admit, I was looking for wax melts with Levitation, but while these notes are nothing that I could personally wear, they sound as though they would be *really* nice to scent the home. I did order some early, early this morning. Can't wait to experience the scent!

Excellent description nutrix! I have honestly not tested this one outdoors, my partner seems a little more laid back and at ease when I wear it or use the wax melts with it and it definitely gives ME the sell effects you have described so well. I have a very difficult time just relaxing and going with the flow, and this I do seem to get a measure of that vibe with Gotcha.

The thought of this makes my head feel all swirly! The possibilities! OMG!

I had been pondering this one for some time. Finally, I requested a trial vial of this with my last order. I was sitting here sorting my LPs and playing with different scents ( yes I admit I do this) , and decided to give this one a try. This is so lovely. As its name implies, like chiffon, it is quite sheer and light and yes, delicious smelling Raspberry. Out of the bottle, I get a vague fruitiness, wet on my skin, it smells a bit like Raspberry Lemonade with other subtle notes peeking out here and there. Upon drying down, it settles in to a gorgeous true raspberry with decided citrus notes, and something creamy like vanilla. I kept huffing this one because it reminded me of another LP in some sort of way that I could not identify. This was driving me crazy until I finally figured out what was familiar to me. Its sheerness and delicate sweetness (not its scent) reminded me of Poudre de Bourdons, ONLY in that it has that sheer, light, sexy, edible dusting powder made for yummy foreplay sort of thing going on. This to me, is like a Raspberry/Citrus/Vanilla version of that edible dusting powder, which is probably why so many people are wanting to taste it! For the record, I did NOT taste it, but its smell does make it tempting! The ONLY negative to this one is that it does not last very long on me, so I have to keep re-applying it, but its just so sheer, light, fresh, delicate, yummy and utterly feminine and beautiful, I don't mind at all. I just ordered a FB of this, so I will be able to slather it more freely. I may even end up getting a second bottle if I can. I LOVE it!!! Wonderfully done Mara! The right word for this finally came to mind. It's WISPY!!! Still loving it!

As far as what I am ordering is concerned, everything's coming up CHERRIES as in Lusty Cherry, and also some very pretty Rasberry Chiffon. I guess this time, it's all about the sexy, fruity, LP goodness.

Wow! Amazing list of LP reviews! Incredibly extensive and very concise.
