    Hexen

    I can't wait to try this one. Today I bought a full bottle unsniffed because of the interesting comments in this thread. I was ordering some other things, some for me and some for a birthday gift, and Hexen came to mind and I hunted up this thread. That was all it took!
  2. So glad you are OK! Thank you for the BEST laugh I've had in a long time. I know it had to be scary at the time, but what a story to tell!
  3. Thanks, Dolly! We live about six hours apart, and I've done the long-distance relationship thing in the past . . . not inclined to go down that road again. I felt really good enjoying the couple hours for what it was and being able to take the memory away without needing/wanting more than that. HOORAY FOR ME!
  4. I had the scented Cougar on this weekend when I attended a concert out of state. The weather was chilly, so I had a turtleneck under a sweater (didn't want to have to deal with a coat) -- so not much skin where I had applied the Cougar potion was exposed. But . . . a gentleman who had come to the concert alone (as I had) happened to have the seat next to mine. We said hello and introduced ourselves (first names only, alas) and then chatted and enjoyed the concert as if we already knew each other and had gone there together. If this had been a first date, there was enough connection and rapport for there to be a second -- but it wasn't, and that's OK. I was just there to enjoy the show and have a good time, and having someone to share it with was a bonus. A totally fun evening and a great memory.
  5. First, I started keeping mine in a wooden ice bucket . . . had to expand. Now, everything's in a wooden cigar box that my dad gave me when I was 7 or 8. It is packed solid -- bottles and testers, as well as a couple-three bottles of perfume from other sources. I might have to take over a dresser drawer next!
  6. You are definitely hooked now, Terry! Nice review!
  7. I ordered a full bottle of this unsniffed, because someone mentioned it might be similar to Sandman Snoozeth because of the German Chamomile. My order came this afternoon, and I barely got the box open before I uncapped this bottle. I have loved and hoarded my little tester of Sandman ever since I got it (and the potion became unavailable). Now, comparing the two, I have to say that I like Le Sommeil Des Anges even better! It has more depth and character than Sandman. Where the rose in Sandman gives a very soft sweetness, the jasmine in Le Sommeil Des Anges a top note that draws me in to the softness beneath. This will definitely be more than a sleep scent for me. It makes me feel too good -- I would wear this as an everyday scent instead.
  8. This was one of the free bottles that I got with my most-recent order, and I have to say that Scourger described it to a T. And she gave me the perfect excuse to bake brownies! NOM, NOM, NOM!

    Sugared Honeycomb

    Just wanted to say that the two little dabs of this that I put on last night made me feel like I was enveloped in this scent -- it doesn't take much of this one at all! And I could still smell it this morning when I woke up. It took me a long time to break down and try this one, but I am extremely glad that I did It is definitely becoming one of my favorites!

    Sugared Honeycomb

    Hi, Your post made me curious, so I just went and put on some of this fragrance. I have both a sample and a full-size bottle, and I've received both of them within the past couple of months. I can't detect any difference between the two, and I get a definite honey scent -- I would say more honey than sugar on me. As it dries, I still detect honey. As a rule, before I apply any of these scents, I shake the bottle or the tester a bit or just roll them between my hands. If you're not already doing this, perhaps it would help. Since both my tester and bottle are fairly recent purchases, I can't speak to the denser honey notes from your sample, but I've read that the potions will mature in the bottle a bit over time. Mara or one of the other ladies can speak more knowledgeably about how the potions mature. I just wanted to throw out some thoughts for you. Hope it helps!
  12. Sounds like I need this one for when my wrist heals and I can ride my scooter again! LOL

    Lioness

    Me too. Your review has me so intrigued that I am having to force myself not to pull my wallet out of my bag . . OMG.
  14. And to think I wanted this one for a sleep scent! It might do me more good than I anticipated! Need to order a gallon.........
  15. Thank you!! This is going to be one of my next full-bottle purchases for sure.
  16. I agree. I have a sample of both this and Sugared Roses. Both are very nice, but the musk in Musky Dusky Roses gives it a depth that makes the fragrance especially lovely.
  17. Hey, great minds think alike -- those were the two that I ordered! I also ordered True Confessions and Treasured Hearts. My freebies should be Frosted Mulberry and Essence of Luck if they're still available . . . I gave Mara a couple of alternate choices just in case, so my next package could be a surprise!
  18. Sugared Lavender is definitely wonderful, too. To me, it seems more like a personal, just-for-myself scent than MD Lavender. I love both, but I tend to wear Suagred Lavender as a sleeptime scent only. It is very calming and relaxing, totally lovely!
  19. Oooh! I am definitely going to get a bottle of this one when it becomes available!
  20. Sandman! Sandman Snoozeth! YES! I am hoarding a trial vial of this . . . want more! And Dream Lover sounds awesome . . . another one to wish for.

    Hot Chick

    I put this one on before bed last night. The peppermint and clove were a nice combination as I relaxed into sleep. There HAS to be something in these fragrances that makes me want a full bottle every time I try something new, because Hot Chick has gone on my wish list for my next order! Who needs groceries when you can smell this good?!
  22. You are definitely in the right place! Mara and Danna are amazing scent artists and potion creators!

    Sugared Honeycomb

    OMG, why did I wait so long to try this one?? It is absolutely lovely. The honey was very strong, but not overly so, when I first put this fragrance on. After an hour or so, it mellowed into a sweet, spicy, somewhat floral scent. I am so limited in my ability to describe scents . . . I wish I could convey how inviting this one is. I have a whole package of the July new releases to try, but I just can't stop sniffing the wrist that has Sugared Honeycomb on it. This one goes on the full-bottle wish list for sure!
  24. Both of those articles look fascinating; I've got 'em bookmarked to read when I have more time to concentrate. And Mara, a good phero library would be a wonderful addition to this site!
