Gotcha only has a small amount of cops and though Red Lace has added cops, the phero Lace is (as I recall) cops free, so I think what you're detecting in Red Lace and Honeyed LP may be the apricot? That's my hypothesis. With my skin chemistry anything more than a tiny amount of apricot has a mildly "body odor" type of feel on me. I know that's not true for many others, but maybe you and I have a similar skin chemistry? I love apricot but it does not love me. ETA: other LP variants with less apricot don't bother me - like LP Original, Red. Etc are fine. Seems to really only be Red Lace and Honeyed LP, until the very long dry down.

OMG I'm having a mild stroke. YUMMMMM!!!

It took me a long goodly while to get around to fully testing this out (chalk it up to this being a permanent and my shiny-things-syndrome forcing me to trip, stumble over, and hoard limiteds)... Safe to say I am head over heels in love with this one. The scent in itself is intoxicating and GORGEOUS; somehow calming, soothing, and drop dead sexy all at the same time. It's subtle enough for work/day and sexy enough for date night, a very come hither snuggle closer warm skin-scent on me. And the phero is THE BOMB - not only have I found it to be extremely positive for prickly work situations and meetings with potentially catty/judgey ladies, it's SO fabulous for girls' brunches/nights. I always find making girlfriends infinitely more stressful and nervous-making than romantic relationships. So much is at stake!! Dudes come and go and I could care less, but a good girlfriend is forever. A good girlfriend I entrust with my deepest, darkest secrets, who bore close-up witness to the full gamut of my "awkward phases" (of which there continue to be many), and who will ultimately wind up knowing me better than my own mother. I travel a lot so I'm away from home base much of the year, and many of us are now spread around the globe so it can be months (and sometimes YEARS) before I'm able to schedule a good old-fashioned catch up with my best girlfriends. This has helped smooth any awkwardness out of the we-haven't-spoken-in-forever vibes and has facilitated such great love and intimacy with my gal pals whom I miss so very dearly much of the year. Incidentally (despite generally being an EST non-responder) the husband reacts amazingly to this one too, so I get the best of all worlds. Gonna try to add some cops with this next and see how that fares...

YES I loooooove this one! I can't believe I haven't reviewed it yet. I'm a coffee maniac as it is no matter the medium, but in ice cream/affogato form I'M A MONSTER. This is so delicious, and despite the caffeinated connotations, one of the ones I (and my man) love to wear to bed.

Thank you! 😭

Thank you!! I need all the good juju I can get, otherwise hooooow will I make it until sale time??? A.👏GREED.👏

No! I'm beside myself. That's me, beside myself. The "investigation" is still on, ostensibly, so I'm putting all this full moon energy into my goodies turning up! Ahhhhh!! Don't they know how pivotal these deliveries are to my well being????

Exactly!! It never happens when I order like, bulk cotton swabs. I've had far too many incidents happen that I think it's an issue with the specific carrier assigned to my building. Most issues have been resolved in time (albeit murkily and with great delay), so I'll keep all my digits crossed for a positive outcome... Thank you! This is probably a good lesson for me re: expectation and adaptability. I had planned all the scents and pheros I was going to wear for the week. I suppose it's good to be kept on one's toes. Le sigh.

I'm legit traumatized, y'all. USPS has opened an investigation. Lord please let my goodies find their way to me. I had some serious deliciousness in this shipment! My weekend joy BRUTALLY MURDERED. 😭

I wish I had one! It's just a building with a vestibule the carrier has access to where they usually leaves the packages. I'm awaiting a call back from USPS as I type. I've had so many issues with this carrier over the years, some total nightmares of lost things. Simultaneously looking into a package receiving service... @*#&$&**@^%@^^&@ I want my Saturday night slathers, dammit!!!

MOTHER#^@@%#%^@($U%@$!!!!! I hate my local USPS. My package was marked delivered a half hour ago, and when I went downstairs to get it 10 minutes after the supposed delivery, nothing's there. They never rang my apartment, no notice left, nothing! WTF????

I think I'd prefer them simpler too, for layerability, but that said I will obvs happily hoard and slather any and all creations that come my way. Also do people like violet? I'm realizing I'm in a mad love affair with violet.

Oh please oh please someone else vote sweet pea! 🙏🙌😺 And yes to creamy un spiced coffee - I'm even thinking like Glace au Cafe?

I was trying hard to wait for the summer sale too, but how could I refuse? 🤪Just put my order through. Yay!

😂

This has mellowed out so very beautifully. I went FB unsniffed on this one back in the winter and something was a bit too sharp on me then so I set it aside and haven't revisited until now. Today it's absolutely perfect. Despite the spice I think this is going to be a winner of a summer scent for me - the Egyptian musk is keeping the whole vibe clean and warm, like naked skin baked in sun and sand, and the scotch and amber are bringing a cool breezy summer bonfire feel. It's not terribly sweet on me at all, I think I would love this on my man. Hang on now, I'm getting ideas...

Ooh, I like the ice cream idea! Coffee ice cream I would love. Buttercream citrus would be amazing. And I'm really feeling sweet pea as a note - buttercream sweet pea? I would also kill for a Liebchen-feeling OCCO. 😁

Congratulations, @cheeseburger79!!! 🙌🤗

Woohoo!!! I've been so sparing with my stash. Is it possible to put in an early request for a few virgin bottles? I live for Rocket Fuel but BI hates me...

Yay!! Congrats!

Yeah, let's do it! I'll find you on FB. 🤗

Ooh @Eastwood22, this sounds so GOOD! I'm still working in the Bay for the moment so I'm totally feeling your vibez!

This one is my favorite of the Frenchies! The citrus is only a tiny light blast at the very beginning which is fine by me - orange tends to start smelling like a bathroom on me, but I think that association is from those pure citrus essential oil air freshener sprays? Mercifully there's none of that here. I get a deliciously deep creamy almond blast that's not quite foodie I think because of the ylang even though it's not a note I can pick out individually. As the patch emerges, I get that spicy evocation as Luna mentioned. The long dry down features powdery honey on that soft almond base and it turns so smooth and yum and like a lightly spicy skin scent. Adore this one!!

All this talk of Treasured Hearts and @HipGrrrl's successes had me pull it out tonight. I've only ever worn it at home for snuggles with the hubby and didn't even think to venture out into the world with it. I've been having issues of jealousy and cattiness with some of the ladies in my current work environment (and I'm a Capricorn too, so take what you will from that). Cuddle Bunny, Pop Potion, Lumina all made it worse. Super Sexy was actually pretty positive but I'm hoarding my supply for NOT this type of application. Levitation was nice but rather hit and miss. Leather and Dom made ME feel great and not give a sh** 🤣 but not exactly the desired effect. So tonight I'm slathered in Liebchen flavored TH and will report back any findings...

This feels like just stepping out of a cold shower on a hot and rainy summer day. I grew up in Texas and this is so evocative of that humid, languid, summer-vacation-home-alone-and-using-my-mom's-toiletries kind of feeling. It is my mother's birthday today, so that could be why I'm having that evocation - she's halfway across the planet and I'm missing her - but I'm unexpectedly loving this! It was the last of the trial vials I put on and the first one I'm actually reviewing. I do wish the mint lasted a little longer, but that's to be expected I supposed. Ten minutes and poof! But I'm still loving the soft, quiet, kinda cloudy, I'm-taken-care-of feeling this is giving me. This will be great on a lazy hot day.
