  1. One more post--I can't tell you how much I keep reaching for this one. I have 3 or 4 in my purse (BLAM, Dark Desires with SS4W, Une with Gotcha, and Sensual Harmony and I keep grabbing this. Something about this is so feminine and soft and sweet with the coconut and musk base. I want to be wearing a vintage floral dress, with a flower in my hair, strappy sandals, and a pretty japanese fan. I want to be sitting on a deck with big, slow fans stirring up a little breeze and a large, frosty glass of fruit ice tea, in a resort in the south where I can watch the summer storm come in and bring a little cool air. It reminds me of humidity, but not overly uncomfortable humidity. . ...just wet warmth right before it starts getting cooler as the night comes. In fact, I just bought a vintage dress on line as I sat here and smelled myself. I really love this, Stacy. Next rebrew, I'll just add some glue so it sticks on me forever and ever.

  2. I do wish it lasted a little longer. Well to the point. I want all the notes to last. I get a good 3 hours, then most of the notes fade off and I'm left with that warm, slightly powdery

     

    I truly truly wished this lasted more than an hour on me, but alas, it goes poof and only tiny wisps of smell sometimes in hours 2+. Totally gone by 3.

  3. I was totally out of control. 11 free bottles. You do the math. I already cook all my own food because I'm vegan, make my own sodas with water kefir (saving $ on priobiotics), wash instead of dry clean, so what can I give up.

     

    Cigarettes--really? I would go to that length?

    My gym membership--I haven't been there for 3 years

     

    I think I need the whole forum's intention here but let's say I cut out the cigarettes and replace with my new healthy addiction for perfumes. Even if I only cut out half of the smokes, that is $150 per month. I can do that. And the gym membership goes.

  4. I brought this on vacation with me to sample at various times of day and night. This is very sheer and light on me although stronger in the vial. Initially I get fruit and honey like the most delicious fruit ice tea. Heavy ripe and refreshing fruit. The vanilla and musk shows up like I laced the cocktail with a liqueur. The coconut isn't really identifiable to me but part of this liqueur "float". I smell no orchids floral on me although that may be the clean sweet note behind the fruit. It comes out more during dropdown. This is really well blended. I love it and need to figure out how to make it stronger and more lasting on my skin.

  5. I live in LA and its been very hot and humid so it could just be burning off me. That said, I have crossed the menopause line and now live in hot and cold flashes. What I know for sure, however, is my LPs are not competing with estrogen gel anymore because I threw away the estrogen after it messed with the smell of my LPs!!

  6. I'm still really struggling with this scent. It immediately goes to sour chemical smell on me and my skin starts to burn at the application points. I wanted a scent like my beloved calyxx and this almost does it with the cool green aloe-y notes. But for some reason, after trying twice, I can't get over the chemical smell that comes from the Gotcha (which doesn't happen with the UN gotcha). Bummer.

  7. I have this crazy idea that I need to find the "me" scent and then I'll stop fantasizing about prostituting my 48 year old body or getting a second job just to afford new releases and private editions each month. I'm sure all of you also had plans for "get rich quick" schemes to afford perfumes or even to find a "me" scent so please illuminate this newbie!

     

    I've already resorted to buying water kefir grains to make my own home brew soda to eliminate $4.00 per day (can't give up Starbucks yet).
