    Gogo

    @pheroserenade, it lasts for 3-4 hours on me usually, but it is on the lighter side and stays closer to my skin. I usually use it as a night scent so I don't know beyond that because I'm asleep. If I swipe it on my blanket or pillow, I can usually still smell a bit of it the next morning. Maybe you could try swiping it on a cloth or a pillow and see if it lasts longer? I sometimes also roll it on my chest and let my shirt "soak" up some of it, and I find that I can smell it on my shirt hours afterward.
  3. I’d try both. I find Treasured Hearts less “sweet and bond-y” than Heart and Soul - I use Treasured Hearts for everyone but Heart and Soul when with good friends. But everyone experiences pheros differently and I’ve also read reviews from people that said Treasured Hearts made their partners extra nest-y. Heart and Soul also is more EST-heavy, if I recall correctly, and I tend to like EST heavy blends. So a lot of it comes down to preference and what works for you and your partner.
  4. I really like that the sale was on all month this year. It's nice reading people's reactions and reviews to their orders, and hopefully it helped some people figure out their sales orders (or figure out if they needed to make a second order! 😄) Sogni Incantati: Sogni Incantati is really nice! I was a little worried about the licorice - I am not a licorice lover. But the licorice doesn't come off like the candy, more of a herbal note on a bed of powdery marshmallows. It was comforting and I did drift off pretty quickly afterward.
  5. So I got my order today and wanted to post some first impressions/last minute recs as well: Black Panther: Damn! I wasn't sure about this one because fruity florals always seem to disappear on my skin, but was persuaded by @dolphindolls2 enduring love for it. I am used to happy, cute fruity florals. This is something else. There's that juicy plum but there's also something deep, dark and sexy af. And it lasts! Something in here kind of reminds me of Columbia - maybe the combo of the fruit and amber? I literally put this on straight out of the mailing box, so I'd need to let it rest a bit to know how it morphs over time or projects. And there is only one bottle left in the sale! Coconut Custard: Not sure if there is any of this remaining, but this is really, really good. Like this is gooey caramel and creamy coconut all swirled in a delicious pudding. Like I said, fresh out of the shipping box so I'm sure it's not exact, but delicious and really comforting. Like I want to smell this as I drift off to sleep on a cloud of coconut cream. Ebilish: Smelled really alcohol-y out of the vial, but not at all on the skin. Sweet, clean and spiced vanilla. That clean note is always what made Ebilish really unique to me - it's not foodie at all. Kind of reminds me of Weenie in that it has components of a foodie scent, and the notes sound like they would be foodie...but it's not! I'm not someone who loves super clean scents normally, but I really like this combo. Will post some more of the pheroed ones once I get a chance to test them.
  6. eeee, I'm so excited for this one now! I nabbed the other bottle. Ordered it unsniffed because I figured that I love coconut and I love foodie scents, so what's not to like? After seeing your review, though, I don't think I'm going to be able to wait until post-travel shock to test it! LP has a lot of amazing coconut scents, so "favorite coconut ever" is high praise!!
  7. Ooh, Heart and Soul is a great one, and one that doesn’t get recommended a lot but is one of my all time faves. I like that it’s “sweet” and fuzzy and warm, but a bit less intense then Gotcha (I have gotten the weirdest reactions with Gotcha sometimes, like people following me around like a duckling) or Perfect Match (very close and bond-y, but sometimes in a cryfest kind of way, at least for me.) Just all around warm fuzziness.
  8. Gogo: I hype this one up every year, but that's because it's one of my fave summer nighttime scents! I love a good lavender sleep scent, but a lot of lavender scents are kind of heavy and more "cozy" (see: Liebchen, Jasmine's Warm and Cozy, etc.) Gogo has this cooling, silky quality, like silk pajamas on a summer night, with a night breeze blowing through the window. I gravitate to this one every summer and just can't recommend it enough. Tangy Ylang: I had written in the review thread: Mamelons de Cerise: sweet but tart, juicy cherry. Another happy fruity scent.
  9. Bumping this for any new members. I feel like every sale, I find scents that I overlooked the first time around that I end up researching and finding very tempting reviews of, and end up getting and loving (ones that come to mind are Tortuga, 02.20, Vienen...) I remember there's also a thread that pops up every year about recommending scents that are in the sale, but I can't seem to find it.
  10. @testnow, it might be sold out, but this scent is usually rebrewed every year or two. So it will probably pop up again in the near future!

    Vampire Bait

    This was one of the first floral scents (along with the ylang in Sensual Harmony) that I tried from LPMP, and I had exactly the same impression! Before I tried LPMP perfumes, all I associated floral scents with was sneezing. Now there are some floral scents I really love. This is such a multilayered scent and it feels like a different experience every hour you wear it, as the layers come out and blend together.
  12. After seeing some of the comments on PM, I wanted to test it out again. I wore this to a walk with a friend. We’re very similar in many ways, have both been through difficult times, and just have a very open and honest friendship. I thought she would be a great person to wear PM with since the sense of connection and bonding fits with our friendship. Well, we ended up talking about our trauma and PTSD and crying together on a park bench! Maybe not the most cheerful walk, but it was a moment of deep understanding and connection that was healing to us both. But wow! Have to remember to be careful with this! Also, I wore this in 02.20 and I love how warm and fuzzy the scent is. It smells and feels like warm hug wrapped in a fuzzy blanket. ❤️
  13. Yes, I struggle with this too! LP has so many lovely fruit scents but they fade within the hour on me. I got a former variant of this in the last sale and used it up in record time! But the foodie and vanilla/amber/sandalwood scents last forever and really bloom on my skin, so you win some, you lose some. And I guess it does make decisions on what to buy a little easier. I think it's just a skin chemistry thing.
  14. I could have sworn I've reviewed this before, but I guess not! This is my favorite cherry scent I've tried from LPMP, mostly because the cherry chocolate combo is incredible, and the amber adds this lovely depth and grounds the cherry so it doesn't fade away within the hour (which is what a lot of fruity scents do on my skin.) Just searched and it looks like I waxed rhapsodic about this in a former sale thread: I stand by it all. This is one of my top 10 fave LEs.
  15. Your friends are very talented! Predictions: Sunshine Sweetie - sweet, sunny pineapple. Volumes: the smell of old books and ink, vanilla and sandalwood? Strawberry Dove: the name sounds like an innocent, sweet strawberry that brings you back to childhood. I could see this going in a few different directions. Maybe strawberry milkshakes? Fresh strawberries with cream? Summer of '74: No idea about this one, but I love the attitude of the girl on the label! Also, 1974 was 50 years ago??? whaat? Beachy Bliss: the beachy coconut scent of 2024 that @dolphindolls2 will love. 😋
