  1. Spice and resin with a fruity edge. Reminds me of a long gone creation by Kenzo, interestingly also named "jungle". There were two: jungle elephant and jungle tiger. I can't remember which one this scent reminds me of. It's oriental, sultry, definitely off the beaten path. It could be great on both men and women, although I sense it leans towards the feminine. Either way, I think it would be best for Evening wear. I'll edit this post after wearing it a couple times. Good job.
  2. LAM just arrived! Woohoo! Thank you for the totem sniffies! I think Tiger will be lurvely!
  3. So with the upcoming bottle of UN LAM on its way, I think mayyybeee this would be great with "and i feel fine" as a sexy evening scent for a show I'll be attending. My question is: does anyone have experience in how well "feel fine" covers cop pheros? ETA: LAM just arrived and I picked it up from the post office! With some lovely totem sniffies! I'll be checking into this right now and post my conclusions soon. And totem tiger smells delish.
  4. Tuberose does have a fruity aspect to it, naturally.I'm not sure thogh exactly what fruit it is..
  5. Maybe the brown sugar and amber give that spicy impression?
  6. Tried this on myself this afternoon. I think I'm beginning to realize that vetiver is not a good note for me. There's plenty of vetiver here. Maybe it'll be different on my man, but I think he isn't much for that note either. Let's see about that.
  7. What is banyan fruit anyway? Never heard of it...
  8. Basil EO smells quite different than the fresh herb. I get basil, an anise-y basil, a bit of a very clean dill and citrus. Clean like soapy, but never turns to proper soap. It's softer than I thought it would be, and greener. Nice and sunny, very mediterranean spa. A man would wear this with white cotton shirts, cruising the isles of Italy or southern France. Fades fast, though. As it faded the citrusy floral was left on my skin. Nice, I don't think it merits a full bottle for me or my man, though.
  9. Here's the thing. I'm trying it on myself. So I'm trying to get a sense of the phero and ot isn't as weird as I feared it would be. The scent itself is deep, with some sweetness lurking underneath woods, leather and a bit of booze. Unlike Voracious, this might just work on my man. I'll keep you guys posted.
  10. While I liked the *idea* of Voracious, trying this on my man it wasn't to be. Something about that scent and phero intimidated me, even as we went to bed later that night and cuddled me - for a single, slightly frightening moment it felt like it wasn't him. Like the hands belonged to a stranger. This is the first time I felt like this with any scent ever, and it was startling. so I think Voracious will be passed on.
  11. I sent my man to work this morning wearing this (free sniffie thanks Mara and crew!). Put this on him today as he had a bad day yesterday, and I'm intending for the phero to work for him and on his co-workers. I'll be writing a more specific review later on.
  12. I put this on my man last night and loved it! Clean citrus and musk, reminds me a bit of CK1 and other unisex blends back in the day. Only better. Good stuff, uplifting, clean and fresh. I'll be putting this on him quite often and def.considering an FB in the future.
  13. I wanted to add, after using this a couple more times: It isn't entirely clean, while not downright skanky. I do get some smut beneath the romantic floral... wore it to bed last night, woke up a couple times during the night and got whiffs of this very suggestive scent. A bit "afterglow-ish" in that very specific context, you know what I mean. I love it, it's sensual as f*ck and I'll still wear it to salsa... I'll just have to be more selective with my partners There's a sexy musician friend of mine, a latin percussionist who'll be performing next week with his group and... I know just the scent to wear for the show. Considering our last chat it's either this or Dom Noire, and I don't think I'm ready to pull out the heavy guns on him yet. :Evil grin:
  14. Don't. Send. Your. Man. To. Work. Wearing. This. oof, baby this is a hardcore makeout potion right there. I get caraway, tea and cedar, with the caraway being prominent in the first couple of minutes. As the scent dries down it sweetens up a bit with the myrrh and probably amber making themselved noticed. A little goes a long way, and it really is a goddamn sexy perfume even withput any pheros. With the phero? I took a whiff of this potent scent from my man's chest and was like "oh, baby..." DON'T wear this to work unless you're planning to get laid. Def. A future FB.
  15. Indeed I got a sample, it is lovely. I get the sweet base of LP, with a sweet white floral. I smell a hint of jasmine that's beautiful, vanilla and amber. It's a soft scent, though not faint. I get an effect of heightened awareness to emotion in myself and others. I'll have to keep working the sample to see whether it's FB worthy.
  16. Smells like the yummiest berry and cream torte ever made. The first couple of minutes, and in the vial it was a buttery vanilla that was too greasy and sweet. Then the berries and lime came in and tamed the sweetness. Awesome. I'll post the effects after wearing it on its own.
  17. It's a fresh spring floral with a spearminty finish. Very clean. It's nice, although doesn't really resonate with stuff I usually wear. Spearmint isn't usually a note I wear, but blends nicely here.
  18. I really like this! It does smell Indian, like Indian soap and incense. A little smoky, floral attars that bring the memory of exotic sari fabrics drying in the wind. The florals smell a bit like a laundry soap I remember as a child. With the smoke and earth notes, it gets a mature twist - I imagine it'll age very well and will be worn beautifully during cooler months.
  19. This is a POWERHOUSE, ladies. Dominant, dark, sweet, super confident, badass woman in a good mood. But for the love of all things holy, don't piss her off. Now I understand what the ladies here meant when they described this as 'chewy'. Yes, akin to leather and chocolate, with a light coating of darkest maple syrup. Whew! I'm wearing two wand swipes from my new sample and I can tell this is going to be one heck of a ride. It'll also age beautifully. I can tell. It might be a little too strong for an FB, but the sample *will* be put to good use.
  20. I know I like honey, and honey likes me. But this.. takes it to a whole new level. I mean... wow. This is super feminine, surprisingly not too sweet, very luxurious sensual woman vibe. Totally taking this with me to wear while dancing. I don't get skank from it, surprisingly. It's mostly honey with some orchid, and rather clean. If it were a color it would be a light honeyed gold. Oh, hell yeah, this is a perfume for a sensual, loving dance para dos amantes.
  21. My orders have arrived, in perfect condition! The evening before my trip to the salsa congress - perfect timing as well! Thanks for the sniffies, they enable me to try Eternal sunshine on my guy and see whether basil works with his skin chemistry. Thank you Mara and team, this is beyond pleasing!
  22. Sounds like a good layering buddy with LAM...
  23. Of course! So many scents so little cash.. aaaand I've just noticed no one reviewed it. We need to pop that thread's cherry, don't you think?.
  24. One of my next orders is going to include it along with some sugared layerables.... I'm thinking to perhaps wait a little to read reviews on various notes to discern which florals I'd like as sugared and which ones as cake... either way, I *have* to have this one. I'm a salsa dancer, it's meant to be...
