I apologize for the late reply, I was sucked into the college class vortex! Sadly I don't have a drop left. I used every last bit of it, but still kept the bottle around until I moved in early August. That's how much I loved that stuff. On a positive note, I must say that Yule Snuggle comes very close to Addict on me - enough that I think I will be treating myself to something larger than a sample size!

I have received and tried my Yule Snuggle and Valentine's Chocolates, and I am in love. These scents both keep true to their description on my skin - a rarity indeed. Valentine's Chocolates - yummy cocoa dust and sugars Yule Snuggle - buttery rum and something like tonka or vanilla bean - yum! They also help reduce the use of chocolates and pastries as stress therapy

I couldn't resist and ended up posting before introducing myself - sorry about that, I'm just gaga for fragrance. I was enabled by Bpal forumites as well. I found Bpal to be too "mature" for me - not that LPMP isn't - it's just that I am a youngish-looking petite girl and can't pull off scents that are smokey and incensey. I am reveling in the gourmands for now, but would like very much to find a way to do well with florals and greens and spices. I am looking forward to learning a lot from the great folks at LPMP and fellow forumites. I live in Upstate NY, work in a library, studying to be a librarian - but wait, I am cool, really!! After all, I love the smellies

Gennifer - Thank you for those detailed reviews. I am going to love the Valentine's Chocolates! If the Yule doesn't work on my Xmas-loving BF, the scent will be yours Pied Piper sounds like something I should try too. Thanks again!

This sounds yummy. Would you say that it is similar to Dior's Addict? I was a huge fan of this fragrance before it became discontinued. The notes that stayed with me were the bourbon vanilla, tonka bean, and sandalwood; it was delicious! I have been searching for a replacement for this ever since women's fragrances veered away from gourmand a few years ago, which brought me to Mara Fox Thank goodness for her and her crew! Description of Addict from Fragrance.com: Dior Addict Perfume by Christian Dior, Dior addict indulges the senses with sumptuous silk tree flower, voluptuous night queen flower, and luscious bourbon vanilla combined with sandalwood and tonka bean to evoke a feeling of passion in the woman who wears it. Sensual. Soft. Feminine.

I am eagerly awaiting these in the mail and I am already daydreaming of how yummy their scents will be. Hopefully I am right! What have your experiences been? I am a certifiable sugary-sweet chocoate addict, so don't worry about that aspect! Thank you for any reviews.
