@greenappletartI don’t know about the amber, because the bottle of v 2017, I didn’t hold onto. I remember it just missed working for me. It may have just been that I was searching for something different at that time. After reading what @luna65 wrote, I dug out my bottle of Halo’s Angelique that was stowed away in safekeeping. And yes, there are a lot of similarities between this year’s brew and Angelique. For me, I think of Odalesque as a completely different perfume. The almond presence makes it so special. When I got out my box that had Halo’s Angelique tucked away inside, I discovered I’d also hidden more bottles of Odalesque. Such a happy find💕 💕 Even though I’ve snagged a couple of backup bottles of 2021 Odalisque, I don’t think I’ll be trying to buy up every single bottle. I wanted some, but will happily share.

@luna65I asked, because there was some confusion when ordering from the shop. I’d used Messenger to reach them, hoping to add a bottle of Lilu in with an order I’d already placed.

Thank you.

Okay, I just went FB unstuffed. Why not, right? But, @luna65is it sexology or sexpionage? I’m confused 😐

I got a trial of this one, intending to wear it myself. I like tobacco, I adore tonka, vanilla, balsam.... wood type notes are usually okay. So far it’s not working out though. When I first put a little dab on, I liked it. An hour or so later I thought maybe this was something I HAD to have, so I slathered it on. Then it took a wrong turn. I think it was maybe the mahogany?? Eventually I will revisit it though.

@Eastwood22 I came so close to getting at least a trial vial with both orders! I guess I’d better snag one before it’s added to my list of loves I have lost...

I almost got this, after reading reviews, maybe I should? I need updates.

I love this!

@Kayla 😎 I’ve been known to run out of test spots. It’s encouraging to hear the LP Gold hasn’t unleashed the patch monster, I’m not a big grapefruit lover though. I’ll probably get a trial just to see....

I agree with Luna. Beautiful coffee, but, definitely a male scent. It smells very posh, and I mean that in a good way. Even though I left the mass produced perfumes behind some time ago, this would do well at the counter of high end department stores. I think it will appeal to many.

This is a very early on take of how the 2021 version wears on me. It only arrived yesterday, so, I’m expecting it may change after it has settled more from its transcontinental journey to my eager grabby hands. So far, no matter how much I will it to be so, it does not smell like Odalesque. It also isn’t that much like the previous iteration of Odalisque was when I tried it. However, it has a different phero added than Odalesque, and the 2017 brew contained Bang!. I never had the opportunity to try versions that predated the 2017 release. Blatant Invitation is a great phero for me and it’s another reason I hope I really REALLY love this year’s version. I think it’s going to work for me though, definitely full bottle worthy. Possibly multiple full bottles worthy. I’m having a hard time pinning down exactly what notes are coming through when it is first applied. Definitely sandalwood. It is strong and long lasting (a good thing). More than twelve hours later, there is a true honey scent remaining— like as in smelling an open bottle of honey. I don’t get much honey in the beginning though.

@Snoopyace we’re late to the party, but at least we’ll be there soon, haha

It’s out for delivery!!!

I just got my shipping notification! Yay😊

Thanks for your review Snoopy. I’ll confess that even though technically I bought it for the BF, I really got it for the label🙂

Thank you!

@Kayla I’m curious about the patchouli too. If you can post after you’ve tried it, I’d like to hear what you think. No guarantee it would read the same on my skin, of course.

@Potion Master YES!!!!! Either invoice me and I’ll pay, or whichever way is easiest for you.

So far, other than a Wizard Whiskers, I just went with trial vials. I would have snagged a virgin bottle of Odalisque, but no more were left. (And this was at 3am my time😕) I loved the Odalesque variant, and actually did have a full bottle of the previous brew of “Odalisque”, but I gave it away, so, I want to try a trial size first. BL works well for me (us) so it has potential to be another great fit. But, I gotta try it... Also trials of Gossamer Thread, Carry On, Sogni, Bacca Rustica, and Kahve. Now I get to obsessively check for shipping updates.

The label for LPGold reminds me of works by Alphonse Mucha...

You’re so right! Yes. Back in the day of Jessica Rabbit my hair was red/auburn, and it was long. Friends would jokingly call me Jessica. It’s still long, but mostly gray now.

@luna65I’m not much of a tv watcher. I had no clue. (Stating the obvious). You know, I had a bottle of the “Odalisque” but I passed it on to another forum member. I’m curious to see how I feel about this 2021 brew. The phero it’s enhanced with works well for me.

...Carry on....wayward son...— is a song by Kansas. I can’t think why there is a connection to the new releases, but thought it was interesting they were listed in that order, AND there’s wheat growing. They grow wheat in Kansas... I’m wondering if the new Odalisque is most similar to the version that predates Odalesque, and presuming the spelling is a hint (????).
