This is yummy goodies in a bottle!  I  only got a trial size because maple can go really wrong on my skin, but definitely not this time.  It has almost a buttersotch smell to it and is really light on the spices.  This is a perfect fall/winter perfume. 

I'd love a rebrew of Juicy Lucy this summer, with Bang or Cougar plus virgin bottles, instead of Sexpionage. I adore the perfume, but can't walk around in public with it on. 

Delicious! This is just perfect! It is really interesting how different this is if it's wafting up to my nose or if I put my nose close to the application points. When I am further away, I get more of the sweet lavender vanilla, but when I put my nose closer, it's more of a spicy pumpkin.  I agree with jlisa that there's an earthy quality to it. 

I am in love with this one! I was initially a little worried about the raspberry note, but it doesn't take over the perfume, and I can only smell it strongly upon the initial application.  After about 10 minutes it blends in nicely with the apple and vanilla LP base.  I am going to wear it with OCCO White or BBM later tonight too see how it smells with some more vanilla - like ice cream on warm apples hopefully. 

This is really interesting on me. I shook it really well, per Mara's direction before applying. I think that I must amp pepper because I smell like a very peppery blueberry right now, lol. I have had it on for about an hour and the pepper is still really intense  on me. I will be trying it again in a few days to see how it changes. 

I wore this earlier today and it is pure sugary, yummy roasted treats!  For some reason, maybe the smoke note, it started out smelling like roasted peanuts.  It's a beautiful foodie scent that dries down into a soft marshmallow, vanilla with a slight tinge of smoke.  I didn't get any chocolate or spices, which I thought was strange. I will test it again another day and see if they appear.

This is really a beautiful perfume. I love Odalisque and I was expecting something with a similar feel. While equally as sexy, this is completely different on my skin. The Sandalwood, cocoa butter, and vanilla are the most prominent notes on me after the drydown, and there's just a hint of orange on top. It reminds be a little of Chakra:  Sacral, but much more creamy and vanillaey.  I am in love! 💗

FBs of Odalesque, LP Candied Apple, Bare Trap, and Weenie Roast, and a trial of Blue Fyre.  I'm so happy that marshmallow root is back as a note!

Imagine a red candied apple over an LP base.

Sounds delicious!  I think that the blue raspberry with the chocolate in Gravenstein didn't work on my skin so well. It sounds lovely with the LP base.

It's really different than Gravenstein, it's closer to LP Spring 2015, or Columbia.

Thank you, Mara! I'm not sure if I have either of them. I'll have to sort through my trials tomorrow.

@Potion Master, quick question, in the main description, it says blue raspberry sugar towards the end of the description for the LP Candied Apple, but raspberry is listed second down at the bottom under "magickal meanings." The raspberry is light, though, right, after all the LP base yumminess, and less than the apple? I know of course we all perceive things differently but I'm trying to make an order now....

I was wondering the same thing!  Is it less blue raspberry than in Gravenstein?

It's a variant, hence the different spelling of the name.

I didn't even notice that, Luna.  It was early morning here when I woke to see the announcement about the Weenies. Now, I'm really excited to see the notes! 

❤❤❤ The labels are gorgeous!  Candied Apple LP- OMG - I am in love! Odalisque w/LFN is perfect! I can't wait to see the notes for the others. This is always my favorite collection of the year.

This was a no brainer FB for me. I love it. Also reminds me a lot of the 2015 Spell Collection’s Mother Goddess, both the creamy goodness and the drawing in of small creatures. @Kayla I’m sure you’ll love the scent!

I mixed 1/3 Mother Goddess, 1/3 Savage Beast, and 1/3 DPG oil in a small roller bottle and in a 1 oz. spray, and it is so soothing and smells amazing! ❤

This one is absolutely beautiful! Everything is so well-balanced and blended together. It's mostly fruity/woodsy on me, with just a hint of floral, and has much more depth than I had expected.  💗

This one is ALL honeysuckle and floral on me. I had a totally different perception of what it would smell like - ripe, sweet, musky blackberries with a touch of floral on top. I ordered a FB because I was certain that's how it would smell.  I am going to let it age and see if I can smell any musk or blackberries. It's a really pretty perfume - just not my style.  My daughter will happily wear it because she loves florals. 

Welcome, @Vika! It sounds like you've tried many of the phero blends and know what's working for you. I can't wait to hear more about your experiences with them.

Thanks, @luna65!

WOW.

 

This is not a sweetened resin blend per se but it has the richness and opulence and overall decadence of exactly that kind of thing.  It's GORGEOUS.  It's kind of the masculine version of OCCO Resinate because it has an appreciable depth and density while also perfectly balanced.  The oud is center stage but everything twines and melds and compliments everything else perfectly.

 

I love it, so so much.  It's everything beautiful and sexy about the power of resin-based scents and what they can evoke in the imagination.  And as we know, Mara has a talent for these kinds of fragrances.

@luna65, would you say that this is unisex, or definitely more on the masculine side? It sounds like something I would like to wear, but I'm on the fence between a bottle and a sample.

Mara, when you get a chance, could you please let me know how many posting credits I have. I lost track. Thank you!

I noticed today that I have a bottle of NOCO White. I totally get the woman’s expression on the bottle! OCCO White does pair with everything if you’re a foodie like me. 
I did all the stressing and research for my daughter and made it pretty easy, she’s in a good mood now, so I guess she was relieved to be starting school. Plus she recognized kids in her class that she wasn’t expecting to see, so I’m very happy about that. Weds is my son’s turn for a new high school on zoom. 
I’m guessing teen pregnancies are way down this year!

It's good that she had a decent first day. It's always nice to have friends/familiar faces in class with you. My kids don't start until September, but it's 2 half-days in school and the rest remote learning.  Everything keeps changing, so it very well could be a full virtual start by that point. Time will tell.

You are so welcome ! I'm very happy to provide the reminder, it's such a gorgeous scent, I hated the thought of it getting no love in the sale - so happy you got it ! @Eastwood22 that idea for the Butterscotch OCCO pairing is awesome ! It just so happens that Butterscotch is going in my order, so I'm going to try that out, too ! @Kayla it also goes amazingly with OCCO White, I pair it with that a lot & it's a gorgeous pairing, too.

Good to know! I think everything goes well with OCCO White! Maybe I'll try it with BBM too.

@Eastwood22, your poor daughter! That sounds like an awful way to start school! Hopefully tomorrow is better.

I'd say layer it. It's not that heavy of a scent, it could get overtaken by BBM, but OCCO's would be great. Butterscotch, Orange, Pineapple, or White, I'm guessing. You could also layer it with some Sugared's to mix it up. 

I like the way OCCO Butterscotch sounds with it. I love the sweet, gourmand scents! Great idea!

Just now, Eastwood22 said:

Good job, @Kayla and @StrawberryKitten! That lone bottle was on my mind but I already have a back up bottle!

For some reason, I never got a bottle, but I had a few samples. I am thinking about putting copscin it...hmmm...or maybe I'll just layer it with an OCCO or BBM. I'm glad that you have a backup bottle, @Eastwood22.
