I can't believe I never posted a review of this - I could have sworn that I had! I'll just briefly say that it is not my favorite, but as I don't like most florals, that doesn't come as any big surprise. Like Halo said above though, sometimes LP's that you think you won't like turn out to be great, and as this one had so many positive reviews it was at least worth trying for me. Believe me, you will find LOTS of "right fragrance matches" here! I am constantly finding things that I love, and Halo said it up there - I was amazed to find how much my tastes have changed in the year since I started here! Do buy lots of samples, check out the trade boards as well, and have fun!

I wondered the same thing, but just assumed that it's Pure Sugar. And now you have all got me looking forward to the Sugareds again, but I swear I'm holding off until September because they'll still be around then, and, well, SALE!

It seems to me like sometimes I fly through the ranks and other times I barely crawl...I feel like I've been stuck on this one for a while. Congrats to all those who moved up! Ducky and Coming Up Roses, I think Ceiling Cat and Unicorn Jockey are my favorite rank names so far:)

Since losing alot of weight recently I also wear an undershirt every day (although I still wear a bra as well) and I've never thought of applying directly to it. I just wear all my perfumes and pheros as usual, and I don't think it makes a difference in diffusion. I might try Mara's method though!

I have some favorites that I've been keeping an eye on for a while - to be honest, I'm sort of scared they will end up in the sale and be gone before I get a chance at them. August is going to be a stalk-heavy time for me

Welcome! Sounds like you placed a great first order. I have no doubt you will be hooked in no time! As for how many sprays of your pheros, that sort of varies from person to person. It usually takes a bit of a testing period to find your own personal "sweet spot". Start with one spray, see what reactions you get, then move up to two sprays, and so on until you find what amount works best for you. I tend to get much better reactions with very little pheros, but some people need more. Also know that your sweet spot could be different for each phero blend. Like Ravenwing said above, you can find much more info in the phero forum. Let us know how everything works out for you when your order comes in!

I've already been plotting and planning for August, but once the sale is released that will probably all go out the window... And then the sugared line will be out!!! Those may have to wait until September. Yikes, the wish list just keeps getting longer!

I was going to say The Sand Witch, but... Luna beat me to it! I've never tried Coconut Breeze, so I can't comment on that, but it definitely reminds me of The Sand Witch and I LOVE that one - I think I like Sweet Surrender even more! It's more coconut to me, which I love. Can't remember the name but it reminds me strongly of an old BBW scent - the body spray had little plastic "ice cubes" that would rattle around in the bottle to make it seem like a summer drink. Dang it, now it's going to make me crazy trying to remember the name...I wonder if I still have a bottle somewhere! I don't know if I can say much more than everyone already has. This is a great summer scent. I love most lps with a sandalwood base, so this is right up my alley. The coconut is sweet and pink (but not TOO sweet). It's awesome. My only tiny complaint is that this one doesn't seem to have alot of staying power - not horrible, but it could be better. I've only tested once though, so this could have to do with the moisture levels in my skin (I do have a sunburn right now, so my skin is parched!). This one smells so good that it will DEFINITELY get more testing, and it's going on my FB wish list for sure!

Ssupytalp, that means we started at roughly the same time! I think I might have been late July/early August, but for some reason I was thinking you had been here longer than me.

Wow, straight out of the bottle this is exactly what I've been wanting - a super juicy fruity scent for summer! Once it dries down though, the honey really comes out, and I'm afraid that even the light honey in this may be coming off as too "dirty" on my skin:( I like the honey in it, I'm just not sure if I can wear it! This definitely needs more testing, but I'm back at work now (bleh!) and afraid to wear it there. It might have to wait until the weekend. I HOPE I can wear it, because I'm in love with the fruitiness!

Thanks for the warning Mara. I was here last year for the sale, but had just barely started. I remember being so confused!!! I hadn't really even figured out how to use the forum at that point which made it worse. And some stuff was flying off the shelves, and I had no idea what to look for. Of course back then I was mainly looking for pheros, and now things are ALOT different. Looking forward to actually knowing what the heck is going on during the sale this year!

I would love to try this out, but somehow my vial has completely disappeared! Stinkin' gremlins...

I can't believe I never reviewed this one! I think at the time that I tried this scent I found it just mediocre. I tried it on again today because I was looking for something purple and oh my goodness - I love this! I need to compare it to An Act of Violets, and if it is different enough to merit a bottle, it is going on my wish list!

I finally put in my July order today, and I am proud that I'm (more or less) sticking to my one-bottle-per-month limit. One of the June releases I desperately need to have, but there are still plenty left in the store so I was able to leave it for later, which makes my July order a bottle of Dolly's Wet & Nasty plus a few July samples. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to reserve any of the July PE's, but if I stick to my limit I won't be able to actually buy until August. That's really not too bad, considering it usually takes a couple weeks for my order to get to me and I wouldn't want to order again before then anyway. I might see a Midnight Snack in my future if they don't all get snatched up...

Thanks Luna!

Was there never a review for the original Midnight Snack? I can't find one, but then again technology hates me...

Lol thanks Luna! I'm wondering if it's Empathy and Harmony (I think that was the name of it???) but I don't think I even have that sample any more so I can't compare. Really driving me nuts though...

I'll go for a Sleep Tight Might too if there are any...if not it will be all the better for my bank account, so win/win, right?

I have never thought about that - I am definitely guilty of anticipatory posting! I think locking these is a really good idea.

Thank you Mara! Hate to hear that you're not feeling well - get some rest!!!

I know it's been said, but I can't believe there are cops in this! I can't smell them, at all, zero. This is such a lovely scent! It's floral-fruity and sheer. Oddly, it goes more floral than fruit on me, and I'm not usually a fan of florals but this is light enough to be just beautiful. I'm really wanting a thick fruity scent for summer though, and I was hoping this was going to be it and it's just not. It is absolutely gorgeous, but just not what I'm looking for at the moment. I think deep down in my heart I was hoping this would be a new version of Cuchi Head:)

Sadly I have to say this was at the bottom of my list of loves for the month. I do like the way it smells, it's just a little too masculine on me. I'm not an overly girly-girl anyway, so I need my perfume to feel definitely feminine. I'll probably finish out my sample by layering it with some Pure Sugar. But I need to know - WHAT does this remind me of??? It is definitely similar to another LP, but I just can't put my finger (nose? lol) on it - it is driving me crazy!!!

Debating on Sleep Tight Might...I'm wondering how prominent the rose is. I'm usually not a fan, but everything else sounds so great together. Actually, even the rose sounds great, but I know in reality it's not one of my favorites:(

This is awesome on me! I'm not getting much caramel, just a very nice, creamy-light coffee. The cinnamon is definitely present, but not overwhelming. It did seem to fade rather quickly, but then again, I haven't been moisturizing all that well lately. It will definitely get a few more tests before I rule it out as a full bottle. One of my favorites of the NR's I have tested so far.

I should probably start off by saying that I knew from the get-go that this perfume was most likely not for me. For some unfathomable reason most chocolate scents just do not smell good on me. As expected, the initial chocolate scent just wasn't great on me. And then it changed! I'm SO glad to see that a few other people got the soapy scent too - I'm not always great at picking out scents and notes, but this one definitely turned soapy on me. And I thought I was crazy, and everyone here was going to tell me that it couldn't be soapy! Unfortunately, unlike Elizabeth, I don't love it - soapy scents are also some of my least favorite. So for those of you who do well with chocolate OR with soapy scents, you will probably love this one. It is just not the right perfume for me. Which is absolutely fine, since there are SO many others that I love! Sorry, I forgot to quote you in my post and I can't figure out how to edit and quote at the same time but...LoveStruck this is me as well. I don't know how it's possible that I don't love chocolate scents (and to be fair there are a couple that I do love, just not many). But I just don't. Skin chemistry, I guess.
