Have a blast (and a cake pop) in my honour!

Some very cool ideas here, folks. I look forward to reading the notes.

Finally placed my order and got FBs of Spirit Bottle 2015, Moist, and Dragonfly plus an NR sample set and a sample of Summer Crush. There were my freebies, too, after some assistance from LP folks.

Thanks, folks!

Congrats, BC!

And now I'm a 'deliciously wicked' bunny!

'Cherry trap', eh? That's what I'll be calling it from now on!

For some reason the first scent association I experienced when I applied this was of the old-fashioned candy store that was near the Vermont hotel we stayed in all through my childhood. Sweet memories literally and figuratively.

I am at the other end of the spectrum and weight the combo in favour of BAM. I'm a B-nol girl at heart.

Back of the knees is great if you're wearing a skirt. It helps waft things around. Small of the back is also good in my experience.

I can't wait until I've finally saved up (and am not too distracted by NRs) to get an FB of Dom!

My partner is likely the least alpha man I have been with. It can be nice in certain situations, but at times, I would love to see him in a bit more of an alpha role. My ex was aggressively alpha to the extreme! He scared people and I think after 15 years with him, I wanted CHANGE. I think at times, "if only we could reach that happy m medium."

I feel this SO MUCH!

Welcome!

Got this as a sniffie (whee!) and though it's not a scent I'd normally pick based on the notes I am getting lots of maple and brown sugar on a creamy, juicy baked pumpkin. No scary 'nana standing out. To me this smells like the holidays but unspiced. Maybe this is the pumpkin you have at new year as an icy, sweet creamy cheesecake or something rather than a spicy pumpkin pie.

Vampire Bait, which is VERY appropriate considering my current avatar.

Hee! Congratulations!

 

Yes, you are

Aw, thank you!

 

That rank I believe lol.

 

 

Congrats!

Ha, cheers!

Another smutty honey lover here!

I love smutty in PG and Une but horny also has it and isn't as smooth so I am still confused!

Horny also has Aja (and cops) and I wonder if that might be what gives you that not-quite-smooth result.

I will totally send some willpower and intention to quit smoking and if the perfume gives you a feeling of motivation and reward then that's great. You can focus on how much you can treat yourself if you reduce slightly, moderately, heavily, or stop entirely. For every pack you cut out you're that much closer to LPs!

I got a sniffie of this and am so happy about it! It has a lot of what I liked about Beautiful Dreamer but it's smokier and muskier, not as heavily vanilla, on me. On application the lavender was just fresh but as I loaded this page to read the notes I noticed the tiniest medicinal hint. I, too, was scared; like Blackcat I couldn't get on with Tickle, Tickle. Well, as soon as I had read through that part or Blackcat's review the medicinal quality settled and the lavender was perfect. I love how the woodsmoke works in this and I might like it even better than Beautiful Dreamer.

Thank you, Blackcat, for the idea, and PM for the creation and sniffie!

Cutie.pie, that's exciting!

omg, Donsie - I just laughed out loud soooo hard.

Hey, why have two if we aren't going to sell one?

I am pretty sure I am going to end up going with an August NR sample set and FBs of Dragonfly, Summer Crush, and Moist. For about the 12th (no, really) time I'm leaving Un pheros and permanent perfumes I want behind because there are limited-edition things I can't let get away.

Totally having a sampler of these but I already think I'll need FBs of at least two (okay, okay, maybe four) perfumes. I seriously hope the samples come fast enough for me to know before the FBs sell out. Thanks you Mara for doing some excellent forward planning on that front!

I like Pherodise, and like this Seaside Sizzle w/Aja too. I like each stage of this - the strong floral at first swipe, and the cocoa butter that comes later. I"m guessing it must be the Aja that lingers the longest? It smells to me like sex and light honey? Even after washing my hands and wrists several times today I can still smell it. Nice! :0)

First, I *adore* your avi. Second, from my understanding of Aja as well as how others who know it better have described it, yes the sex+light honey is Aja!

I'm getting a few questions as to how close each one is to the original, so I just want to say to everyone, please get the sampler set or trial vials of the ones you are interested in before you decide to hoard anything. Please! I made double the amount of the most popular ones so they are not in danger of selling out overnight. Sample before you hoard. Treat them like a fresh NR set.

This is why you are the Potion MASTER! Wisdom in action!

I'm so excited to be able to try these as they are all new to me. So now I need a sampler in addition to all the darned FBs of this summer collection I told myself I wasn't going to like because I don't do summery things but wanted to try just for fun. Eejit.

An unexpected love! I get so much juicy, refreshing strawberry and some lovely (youthful, summery, not at all like old potpourri) rose. The lemon keeps it all delightfully fresh but doesn't smell sharp or like furniture polish, and this is coming from someone who doesn't do citrus scents. The patchouli and sugar round things out and give Summer Crush a little something more than just you'd expect from a simple lemonade scent, or some teenaged berry-scented body spray. I think I need an FB of this.

This one goes beautifully with BAM Pink Amber, by the way.

Did you try Pondour Bourbons?

I didn't. This is my first Aja experience!

I can see how persistent Aja can be (still noticeable today) but I don't find it too strong. I think I'll keep an eye out for it in perfumes in the future.

Considering a bottle of Audacious and one of SWS, possibly one of Dragonfly.

ETA - and a bottle of Summer Crush, and of Un CB and the August sampler. And selling a kidney, obvs.

Thanks for those detailed replies. I am trying to figure out which of the things I'm smelling is Aja and thus if I like it enough to want to try it in other things or even by itself. The responses above have been very helpful for that purpose and I think I'd dig Aja in another guise.
