I thought I reviewed this, but I guess not! This has aged really well. It's a lovely deep, balsamic vanilla, a little less foodie than before, but still with the same sweetness and more depth. The lily is just a little spicy and blended really well. Something about it reminds me of Gogo a little - maybe I've just been wearing Gogo too much recently. 😄 The dry down is that lovely creamy, foodie vanilla in the base for LP Pink. (Probably in LP Original and Red too, but other notes tend to stick around to balance the vanilla out, where in Pink the other notes burn off and leave that lovely vanilla.)

I got the virgin version, so the version with the phero might be a little different due to cops. The combo of the cocoa butter and almond comes out as almost coconutty on me (a good thing, since I love a good coconut cream scent). This one actually reminds me a bit of Pie in the Sky. Sweet and syrupy, with creamy undertones. It feels very "round" and "true" and the citrus doesn't come out on me at all - but this was on my wrist, so I'll try it on my chest later and it might be more layered.

Thirding Treasured Hearts. That has always helped me smooth things over while keeping my energy up (can be important when dealing with difficult people) - Balm Bomb tends to make me sleepy (might just be me though). Good luck and let us know how it goes!

It sounds like from your post that you're a little uncomfortable or anxious about this upcoming party. In view of that, I'd say - screw everyone else, wear something that will make you feel good and at ease. All of these pheros are great socials - which phero makes you feel how you want to feel at the party? Pick that one. If you feel good, you'll have a better time, and other people will feel good too. You can always wear something for you on your chest or neck and something more social or lively on your wrists. If you have a few days, go ahead and experiment. But please take care of yourself as well. 💗

I don't have fibromyalgia, but I struggle a lot with fatigue. I'm going to have to try out the CoQ10 and the LFN!

I am a huge fan of Sensual Harmony. It’s in my top 10 and is a mainstay in my business trip kit. It’s elegant, versatile, the LFM is a confidence booster, and I love the vanilla and ylang ylang combo! 🥰 However, sometimes I have to watch out for the “intimidation factor.” Usually not an issue because I mostly work with people more senior to me, but today I was meeting a more junior associate. I held my hand out to shake hands and he just froze! One of the other guys commented later that he thought the poor guy was scared of me. I am not a scary person at all by appearance, haha. The good news is that he did eventually feel comfortable enough to shake my hand after dinner. 😊

Welcome! I think Girl/girl was a good one for that. I don’t know if it’s still around, but if not, you could probably get some in trade threads. (The Trading Post). Some links you might be interested in:

Yay, I’m glad it was helpful! The extras are great for actual muffins, too. 😊

There’s also silicone cupcake inserts if you want to use something that’s reusable!

Got this in the sale. This is light and delicate, but very, very good. I get a whiff of a similar cherry to that in Special Delivery at first, until the other notes come out. The cherry is the star but is made fresher and tarter with the red currant, cassis, and verbena. The musk and amber set it off perfectly, giving it a bit more mystery and sophistication. It wears close to the skin (on me, and after aging for over a decade, anyway) but that's fine since it is extremely huffable, haha.

These look gorgeous! Alas, a home emergency kind of killed my budget, but once I take care of that I hope I can snag some of these in the future!

Got this in the sale. Right now all I can say is: OMG this is like Cacao Amor! Not the same, but it has that same feeling. Aja can be temperamental on me, but it's just sweet honeyed goodness here. Perfect nighttime scent!

So it won't let me edit during the sale, but I forgot to add that this is stronger and longer lasting than Gogo, which is more of a lighter summer scent. A little goes a long way! On a scale of 1=fruity scents (which always fade fast on me) to 10=La Sylphide (which I can only do a couple of dots of before everyone is commenting on it), it's like a 8. Whereas Gogo is more like a 4.

@Mila I'm comparing Gogo and Liebchen side by side right now. My Liebchen has been resting for a little under 48 hrs, so there might be some slight travel shock. Vika was right on when she said that Liebchen was more like Warm and Cozy, which I would say is the closest comparison I've smelled. I would consider Liebchen a "deeper", slightly more camphorous (but not in a sharp or bad way) lavender. A more lavendery lavender than Gogo, which really amped up the creme-brulee and almost chocolatey notes and doesn't feel as "lavendery." As it blooms, the vanilla comes out and it becomes that nice smooth lavender/vanila/amber that LPMP is so good at. The vanilla in here is also deeper and stronger than in Gogo, where the cream felt more like a creme patisserie than deep, rich, vanilla. Gogo also has a silky, light, and almost "cool" evocation to me (maybe from some kind of musk?), which I don't get in Liebchen, which is darker, deeper, and richer. It starts out feeling like a winter scent, very rich and strong lavender/vanilla/amber, but then lightens up while keeping that essence. I'd say they're pretty different. So if you like lavenders, you need both!

I was so worried because my tracking info wasn't updated once it got to my post office. But it is now safely in my possession (yay!) and I now smell like 5 different scents, haha.
