I love Summershine! This one is currently in the pile for my man to try when he gets home, I bet it makes it’s way back to me!

I'm detecting flowers, maybe some oakmoss....then I came here to check the ingredients and I did a doubletake on the short ingredients list.

It is bright on me, these bees sure do like their flowers! I’m not a honey scent gal, but after immediately buying two bottles of Beyla the first time I sampled it, I thought “maybe I am a honey girl, after all.” I’ve also had honeys go weird or plasticky on me, especially the ones @Eve mentioned.

“dirty” honeys such as Sugared Honeycomb and SLF OCCO were total fails.

But, Beyla is that special, so I’m game….

Five minutes into wearing (and it potentially still suffering from travel shock), I am no longer suspicious that I’m a honey girl. This really is wearing as almost a white floral on me. Not getting powdery, it’s bright and punchy, almost citrusy! I’m not getting Aja. If I didn’t have to go to work, and also having the curiosity to see how it morphs, I would totally wash it off. I haven’t washed off a LP since trying to go to sleep in OCCO SLF a few years ago! 
 

More evidence as to why we need to try them all!

ETA-

It wasn’t going to work out for me, so I covered it with what feels like the opposite, LP Red Lace. Now I smell good, the combo is nice!

I think the recipe is mostly the same, though.  So I'm looking forward to reading your take!

It’s going to be a while before I get to the Liebchen! I got a trial as well as a bottle so I wouldn’t have to open bottle just to compare.

This is still one of my main go to scents. I love it so much. 

I just started wearing it again, once I found out Mara was recreating it. It’s so special!

Wow, this is really nice. The burst from the vial was instant feel-good, and I agree with @kayla that it’s morphed Into a sweet nutty vanilla. It’s less foodie now than I would’ve thought! Im going to go through all my samples before my next order, but this is absolutely a FB contender!

Although, the song stuck in my head could eventually make me crazy. Thankfully, at the moment it’s just making me laugh.

I have never, never ever, made a LP purchase after getting the new releases without at least sniffing all of my trials. I’ve only sniffed two or three, so far, since getting 30 of them yesterday and I just ordered two bottles of Beyla and a full spray of Queen Bee. I’m very please with this perfume and I think the phero gave me some confidence selfies. 
I hope I don’t have this kind of luck with the rest of these trials! 💸

I might see if my daughter likes this one, she was obsessed with Sugared Cherries. And she could use a bit of Audacious in her life!

ETA-

I gave her the trial this morning and told her to try it. Just sniffing it, she said, “mom, this is my new favorite perfume. Can we get a bottle? The spray kind?” I said, “can you at least try it on your skin first?” She’s a funny one.

Shoot, forgot to add, she wanted me to tell ya’ll that “it smells like ✨ fairies 💖.” She also told me to use sparkle emojis.

Wow. This is so intoxicating. I want to smell like this ALL THE TIME. I’ve never found a honey scent that was right on my skin, and definitely never one that I needed to possess. The one exception is Honeyed LP, but of course it has that LP base and the right amount of Gotcha, so it’s so much more than a “honey scent.” When ya’ll lost your minds over Beewitched, I just didn’t get it. But this! This is the one. Yay me! And with the new Phero, when I’m almost out of my MLH, which I do use around adults, hoping for the same result. This is absolutely positively on the top of my next list.

Oh wow, this is rich. Huffably good, or at least right out of the vial. Getting the Moondust Cocoa vibe, slightly less powdery on me than that was. I love Savage Beast, I hope it helps my daughter drift off to sleep tonight.

my sugared oak moss is one of my most favorites, so I do really love this! Just wanted to clarify, I no way intended this as a negative!) 

My man frequently puts on his Sugared Oakmoss for sleep, so this review doesn't frighten me. I’m a terrible sleeper, but B2.2 works on me and I bought him a trial. All the other notes are good for us, and just sniffing the vial, I get the bergamot, which I love. 

Please tell me, @Amanda, that you got the Manda 🐼 Panda?

Got my trials today! I haven’t busted into them yet, it’s been 10 hours. At 12 hours I will pretend that they’re over their travel shock.

ETA- it’s hour 13! Just looking at them and reading notes now. I can’t believe I didn’t get Violet Tendencies! Crazy! Such a good name. But of course there will be an order or two in my immediate future. 

@Potion Master thanks for the breakdown! I was reading it as if they were taking 30% of the sales price! I also get nickeled and dimed in my business, on all ends, but it’s a part of doing business online. Of course I’d also prefer to keep the money people intend to give to me!

Etsy gives us a very hard time posting pheros, doesn't allow unscented pheros, and does not allow spell potions, so, I will put them up on the LUV site, which is owned by Etsy and uses Etsy checkout, but not on Etsy proper. Will this work for you? I will be doing this later today, I have a couple more urgent things to do, then will get to this.

@Potion Master will you be participating in the temporary Etsy store-on-vacation strike? It’s my understanding that they’re hiking their fees by 30%? I don’t know the details as I’m not an Etsy seller, just a shopper.

Lol. It’s like,  did I forget deodorant?  Did the cat pee on something?

 

I miss out on some treasures due to my skin chemistry. Patchouli and maple are the primary culprits. That’s why I’m thrilled that Material Squirrel 🐿 (so far) hasn’t turned into a maple syrup festival on me. 

My demons are mainly civit-type musks and nutmeg. Fortunately, nutmeg isn’t offensive when it ramps up so I have been known to muscle through it but civit does go cat pee on me!

Originally, Leibchen was the first perfume to be made using that Lavender Buttercream b&b recipe, so yes, it's meant to!

@luna65 does it read the same as the last Liebchen? I’m anxiously awaiting my bottle?

as much as I tried to get Velvet Kisses to work for me, it was just too sweet 🙁.

This is good news for me, Velvet Kisses was great in the bottle but not on my skin. I love me some Savage Beast so I’m hoping it turns out perfect on me!

Right when I was ready to pull the trigger on a FB, sly sneaky old patchouli came barreling in, and took all of the other fragrance notes hostage. 

I never had this happen with this one before, except I was over excited and put on too much today because I love it so! Three sprays behind each ear! I kept getting whiffs of patchouli and thought it was my sweater!

When there is a big release, I normally order all the trials and usually not more than 2 or 3 full bottles, and the FB’s are usually rebrews or prior perfume variants that I know I’ll love. Over time, I’ve purchased fewer full bottles without smelling them first, because there is always at least one trial that comes to my house that I never would’ve suspected I'd love that I absolutely must have. It involves a little more patience, but then I’ll end up with a second order for the big bottles. The only FB I chose this time was Liebchen, but I bet we end up with at least 5-10 of them by May, and then a few more later in the year.

I got my shipping notice!  Anyone else? 

No, but I had to send for an invoice because I like to complicate simple things.

This thread is old, but I thought I’d bump it for some good basic info for newer LPMP fans.

I narrowed it down to 29 trials and one bottle of Liebchen. And by “narrowed it down,” I mean I only passed on 7 of the women’s scents. I already know Allumette, OCCO: SLF & Raspberry Chiffon don’t work for me, Yazmina because Jasmine, Panache because the phero, and Ružina Prašina because most roses don’t sit pretty on me, and I also passed on two beachy-er scents because I have several perfect ones already that I never get to wear. (Tortuga, Leilani, Sarong…) I think I also passed on some tea heavy scents because Paradisi is so perfect.  I skimped on the men’s but will most likely order the rest when I come back to order full bottles of the dreamy stuff! 

I like how the men’s are listed first, “forcing” me to read notes on what’s coming to my house either way….

Scent ~ Manly violet. I don’t know what that means but I’m hoping Violet Tendencies is a winner in my house!

because I like vanilla, and I’m the one doing the guessing)

We do tend to align our guesses with our hopes! Just like I’m guessing Bubblegum Bettie will be like Prisma. I’m sure I’m 100 miles off, but a girl can dream. 

Because I am 2 sprays away from finishing my Prisma with Audacious, I’m hoping Bubblegum Bettie will work for me. I’m guessing it’s a berry or cherry (smoothie?) type scent with a burst of citrus? Pink and sugary. I’m not normally a pink scent gal, so I am hoping it has some cream. 

For Wisdom, @eve got the sage, I’m thinking mahogany (bookshelves) and perhaps palo santo or teakwood might follow that guy around.
