Oh the joys of a big fat orange cupcake. I LOVE orange. There's an orange cake with spice I make in the Fall (thats what Inspire Desire reminded me of). Sadly my taste buds and skin chemistry cannot agree. As is often the case in what I term "Super Foodies" or Heavily foody scents, usally containing that dairy note that my skin turns sour (litterally). Oh well But, having tried a few of Mara's orange cupcakes. Why? Well, the orange cupcake has become one of LPs "classics" and if you love LP you must at least try them all. I never tried Darling Clementine, to far before my time here. I did however have a bottle of Darling Catalina. I remember trying it w/o knowing the notes and I smelled like it had, no kidding, chocolate in the scent. It smelled brown not orange to me. Then the dairy came out. I had to say goodbye. Atomic Mandarin was a bit lighter than this. It is a little easier to wear. This is super foody, decadent cake. Orange cake with cream and sugar and all those mouthwatering things that we crave from time to time. That is out of the vial and on a piece of paper i waved under my nose. On my skin it overwhelms me. Then the dairy goes sour. But, off my skin I can appreciate the scent. I may try the remaining in an oil warmer. I would not mind the house smelling like this A great pairing with the phero. The bright citrus and pink sugars just scream pop potion.

Straight out of the vial this takes me back to our Turkish neighbors kitchen. Baklava, coffee, figs, honeyed sweets, exotic spices and something always cooking on the stove. The sage comes forward a bit later. It adds a [sort of] hippy/head shoppe scent to me that I actually do not identify as a traveling companion with the rest of the notes. Lol. Its like a Turkish family living in Venice Beach (c.1980s). Amusing as that is I could do without it. Usually I like sage. But, it is a detergent/cleaner to me. Here it just brings on that caravan scent and I was grooving on homemade exotic cooking and sensual sticky figs 5 mins ago. The sage just sort of cleans up if you will, the sweet figs and all the other nommy notes are pushed back a bit. Like someone scrubbed the kitchen clean. We will see about the longer drydown

Another floral winner. I like the juxtaposition of a resinous floral. This is soft, powdery, pretty with the added depth of pale resins mingling on my skin. The gentle hedione elevates the scent teasing my nose and drawing me in to huff, adding another dimension.

I broke down and snagged a bottle of this in my last order. Its just too delightful to pass up. The florals are soft and rounded and I firmy believe you can never go wrong with a dash of LP Apricot. Just ask my multiple bottles of Sugared Apricot. Then of course, the Cuddle Bunny, which is always a win for me. Great selfies and interactions. I am definitely more pleasant wearing it. I usually love violet. But, here I think its the infusion of freesia, a floral I like but tends to be used in very young smelling/kiddie type scents. For good reason, freesia has a very youthful pinky scent to it. I think, in the right application, it can be the floral equivalent of pink grapefruit. Its just perfect here. Youthful and mood lifting but still myself. Not like I'm trying to squeeze my boobs into a top at Forever 21. Nicely done.

Very fruity forward. Mostly mangoes galore. I do like mango and the twinge of ginger is a noticeable difference for me. This is a cooler, more tightly blended Ambrosia. Overall its lighter, like a sheet of semi-sheer silk. This version will be great for layering. Nice.

First on this is very a pretty, big peach forward scent. My nose was twitching carefully because it noted a green twinge in the peach which usually does not work for me. Here, it's well balanced, the green'ish does not take over or go sour. But, the overall fruit is dominant on my skin. I'd like a bit more of a mixture with the other notes. If they come through a bit more this will be ideal. A nice scent carrier for LACE. I'll be back after the long drydown to see what has evolved. Evolved? With was I thinking. Greatness just IS. This is gorgeous. I did get a bit more of the other notes in the slightly longer drydown. But this is great. I did not think I needed another peach scent but this beauty is too good to pass on. The combo with LACE is perfect. Love.

I really like this at first and in the mid dry down. Mostly it's fresh fruits & a splash of summer on my skin. Reminiscent of a fruity drink by the sea. I love melons and more specifically honeydew so I was not worried. This is just my favorite type of summer scent for a light dose of "white amber". The kumquat is bright and juicy. It does take over somewhat in the very long dry down. After about 6.5 hours it is mainly all I'm left with. But, in its early and mid stages, it is glorious.

I am dying over those who are getting tons of coco butter. I just did not get that in this try. Tons of coconut, ylang, a bit of the butter & Aja. No myrrh tho I am glad I got another Lisa's. As Luna noted you really can't go wrong with any and all of these notes in some combo. I am not sure what I was looking for. Less coconut more coco butter and cream I guess. I will try again. I think I have a large back log of LP beachy scents to get through the next few years. Coconut scents have poking at me a bit lately. Maybe I have coconut burn out?

I had to go right to this one. I love night blooming jasmine. I was a bit concerned it might go too floral for me. But, I wore this yesterday and it stayed in my floral sweet spot. A pretty jasmine crown with a hint of cool green. Supported by the other florals on a breeze of summer evening air. Gorgeous. Elegantly mood elevating. This is an evening of summer happiness in a bottle. More please

On my skin this is coconut forward. A little meaty. The Ylang is right behind the coconut. The cocoa butter is far in the background. I dont get much "coconut cream" which, along with the musk are my favorite elements of the original Sweet Pussy. Coconut, ylang lovers will like this as a summer scent. I'll be back later to report on the longer dry down.

You may not like the feeling or it may be a bad day for LACE. I like LACE but dont wear it all the time. I am easily affected by a'nol I try not to use it in large quantities because, you know, what goes up must come down. I combined Sexpionage & Topper once and almost puked. Then crashes so hard I went to bed sick Lesson learned. I like LACE but it literally takes one good spray and thats all I need. Its lighthearted and flirty. Like a pretty, flouncy dress. Not practical but great for when you dont have to be.

Thanks Luna. Eariler versions ("veggie honey") didn't have that potency because Mara hadn't blended it herself to make the "Aja" we know now. Which is why I didn't smell "Aja" in this version. In this version I mostly get a light, fleeting whiff of honey. It's mostly peach/nectarine, buttlercream & sugar.

I'm confused. I was just told that this original version has Aja in it. But, I do not smell it at all. On my skin, I can always smell Aja. Additionally I don't think LP even had Aja back in '13. Perhaps a misunderstanding? I'll let the mods ponder that one.

Please drop the Coco Chrissys. Just 1 Lisa's Creamy Ylang for me. Thx

Coco Chrissys [2nd brew please]. 1Fb Lisa's Creamy ylang. 1FB

Except for the back buttons.

It funny. People tend to think of LFM/N as an "EST Blend" only. Est certainly plays a role in defining the blends. But, for me its the Epi-Androsterone. Thats the queen be phero in the mix.

Lol. I have used it in similliar situations and had great outcomes. LFN while not intended to be a taskmaster, reallyworks in that aspect. Then you have the whole "queen bee" vibe which for me is the core of LFM/N. N being just a bit more intense in focus. Of course it also more sexual but the other elements elevate it and really keep it social/sexy so appropriate for your purpose.

Yes. All the way. I love them both. LFN has that slightly different "vibration". Yes, litterally thats how it feels to me. That dab of e'none on top of the LFM blend really works when I am in that busy no-nonsense mode. But, i can still enjoy myself. Plus that littke edge to keep the creeps away.

LFN. I would not add extra DHEAS. Don't mess with perfection... less is more...blah blah. Its all true with pheros. This is the kind of thing I use LFN for in a social context (outside of sex). I love it when I'm busy and want to handle people and tasks with gusto and style. Plus just a smidge of "Yes i am lovely but dont mess with me" aplomb.

Bella sumed it up well. Sexy & Sassy. Its got that dose of DHEAS for the giddy "lets party" feel. Social, with an underlying alfa vibe. Its diffetent than LACE (a'nol & EST). But yes, those are lets have fun blends. Both social and sexy. LACE, ultra femme and light hearted. Audacious, the alfa party girl. Thats how I feel about them. Watch out with alcohol on either of them. Lol

Omg!! I want one. Where'd u find him? The non-Asshole store? ? Hey Bella and Eastwood, tobad you guys cant Freaky Friday sawp out for a weekend see what happens. Lol. Eastwood. I've always thought of Audacious as the alfa Party Girl mix. It has Dom at it core with trimmings of EST and the super social DHEAS with a smidge of cops to keep it youthful and flirty. In general pheros and alcohol equal caution. But, with this blend I usally feel exceptionally vulnerable to the effects of the 2. I am usually cautious with this blend. I tend to stick with Leather, maybe add some cops. Have you tried Leather yet? You should give it some time and try again in a week or 2.

Ah... got it. TY

Can't wait for my sampler. I'm dying to try the Creamy Ylang/Sweet Pussy hybrid. And.... a "night blooming" jasmine scent. Its my favorite type of jasmine. Any hint to the type of Jasmine in Padma?

I would wait then try it again. Booze and pheros can be a tricky combo. Also, for me, it takes only a little LFM/N to work. Its one of the more potent blends (on me) and I masterd both LFM/N in enhanced scents before I did the UN versions, which are 3 times as powerful. Booze, hormones and your 1st time... Its probably not a true test of the blend/you. Make sure you note how much you apply the next time you try it too. That's helpful when trying to find the "sweet spot". That sweet spot is different with just about every blend for me. Just give yourself some time to recover. Try it again in a couple of weeks. ?
