I like this one! It almost smells like dark fruit punch. To me It’s similar to Midnight Rider minus the resins. 

This is basically everything I hoped it would be! The coconut is strong on me when first applied. It’s very reminiscent of sugared coconut but less sugar and then lots of caramel on top. The dry down is really nice and smells exactly like Flan. I love this. 
 

I want to say this is almost like a dessert version of Papi Chulo.

This smells just like the name. Creamy pumpkin mixed with whipped cream and butter and some spices. It’s more creamy than it is buttery but it’s very yummy!

 I never tried Garland and Lace but this is delicious!

@vika did Liebchen, lp pink, and bbm together smell like extra buttery pink sugar Liebchen? 

Yes!!! I smelled like pink birthday cake! And it melded and just smelled sugary and delicious! 

These notes look amazing! Exactly what I was hoping for this year! Thank you so much for making this collection!

I’m getting ready to go to a dia los muertos wedding for my family and this is perfect! 

Definitely ordered 2 bottles of flan de coco and I hope everyone likes it💕

Earth and Urn, Shadow Dragon, and pumpkin dulce.

I finally have a phero story today! I wore this with BBM and LP pink spray to work and had a physical therapy appointment  afterwards well, I was definitely treated well. One of the guys was very sweet and willing to show me the exercises but also more touchy/feely than usual and he had a big smile when he said hi to me. It was really cute. Lol

Everyone was joking around and laughing and it was definitely way more upbeat today.

I definitely recommend this combo. Also, it chilled me out and made me carefree and I’m about to start my cycle.

Both! 

 

 

No.

 

 

You will like that one especially! 😉

Yay! Thank you Mara and Luna! 🥰

These are amazing!!! I was hoping for something like this! Also, pumpkin dulce and Flan de coco! I’m so excited! 

Trying this out today after shaking the bottle furiously. It smells lighter to me than LP Black. I mixed the two and it’s not bad. I might try layering it with Noco Brown Sugar.

@Vika I so hope your winter on the East Coast is not too harsh, I dread winter each year, I think that is why I do not like fall is because it's the prequel to Winter. Even as a child I despised Winter.  I love Mara's fall scents, they are simply amazing and I always buy some of the blends. I'm so looking forward to her Halloween Scents, can't wait to get my hands on some of those delicious blends...  I have 5 more years of working till I can retire down to a warm climate...

Thank you! I don’t like the cold at all but I like the fall because it’s beautiful watching the colors change and Halloween/spooky time.  

The oil is great and I layer it with sugared apricot or sugared white musk. 

Lp black I wear in the winter time because it has a heavier throw.

I agree with this response ^^^ @hedgehog

I was going to say that having pheros mixed in is simpler but for me I’m more disorganized and since I had that incident with phero girl (slathering cops all over and being yelled in front of everyone in the office due to aggressive sexual reactions)

 I try to keep my stuff separate. 
 

I put LP red on today and this has aged for 3 years now, I love it. It smells so good! Like apricots coated in confectioners sugar, drizzled in honey with some cinnamon mixed in. 

I’ve worn this to work before. lol 

usually it sits for awhile because I’m never sure if it’s too heavy for summer but I’ll wear this tomorrow. 
I’ve worn cops to work too so anything goes with me. lol 

as far as pheros, what are you going for as far as reactions? PM is starry eyed bonding and Leather is boss bitch. I put some UN leather on this weekend actually to help me get some chores done and I had an attitude with confidence as in get the hell out of my way! Lol

Most of my pheros are unscented because I can mix and match fragrances and it’s easier to go overboard with pheros mixed into a fragrance especially if you really like the scent. That is my personal opinion though. 

I’ve also had someone stare directly at my chest while wearing this and I wasn’t showing any cleavage at work that day. Lol

@hedgehog

I had Sensual Harmony but it was a little too sharp for me unless I layered it with Sugared white musk. I did like the sandalwood in it.
Sneaky clean was also too strong for me.

 I think it’s that florally aspect that sometimes gets to me.

I have Gogo and at first I thought it was too heavy so I let it sit for awhile and now it’s really pretty. 

I am thinking about getting caramel musk in a spray because it’s just that good and well rounded.
 

I second that I don’t like heavy floral or rose scents but I had a trial of this a long time ago and layered it with LPO and loved that combo! It only took me a year to get a big bottle 😂

this is so good!

I had a small bottle of this but left it with someone else. So I got a big bottle in the sale and that was a great choice! I can’t wait to layer this with fall/winter scents maybe the LPs too.

 I love musk scents and this is delicious.

Oh my gosh, you’re right!! I was wondering what it reminded me of and why I felt like I’d felt this feeling before! It’s not exact of course, Petticoat is just so amazing, but it does have the same feel to me as Persian garden. I just feel soft and fresh and gorgeous! I haven’t worn Persian gardens in years but I find myself reaching for Petticoat over all my other fragrances the same way I did with that one. 

I love white amber musk type fragrances those and vanilla are my go to’s. 
cupids cathedral was another good vanilla type too. So Is LPO. you also might like LP White if you like this one. 

Yay! @citrine

i hope you have fun with this!

I like oils better than sprays because you don’t have to apply too much but also I feel a spray is easier to go overboard with. also when using cops I use oil because you don’t want to spray them all over. 

Lol! That’s how it always goes for me too. 😂

Thank you @Vika! How much to you usually apply?

You’re welcome!  

I usually only apply a small amount on my chest like about half an inch and some on my arms, if I’m feeling more confident. Since it contains cops, I try not to over do it.

Okay, for the record, I don’t want to smell like peanuts—or hazelnuts for that matter. I have Warm n Toasty,  and don’t know if there is a peanut note in it or not, and  I do like it regardless.  But, at face value anyway, I’m not on board with peanuts.

 

I’ve rarely gone in BBW.  I don’t know if I’ve ever bought anything there 😐

 

I think of smoky scents accented with something sweet or aromatic… marshmallows, chocolate, coffee,  butterscotch..You know— bonfires, rustling leaves, crisp cold nights (We get too few of them, what’s with fall anyway?  Why can’t we have the kind of weather autumn is supposed to be like, instead of all hot, or hot and rainy, or cold  or cold and rainy!) 

 

I guess novelty scents don’t appeal to me as much as those that are instant classics. 

 

My weenie wishlist includes Mara’s take on Universal Voodoo’s Sticky Fingers, a rebrew of Weenie Roast, a smoky version of Wild Cherry, a slightly spicy foodie  pumpkin perfume, or a slightly spicy coffee perfume with maybe a smoke accord or DARK chocolate.

Do you have Ash? That’s like a smoky s’more type scent it’s really delicious.

Dark chocolate, cinnamon, coffee and hazelnut sounds like a great combination too.

 I have a feeling winter on the East Coast will be harsh this year because we didn’t get any rain and the mornings and nights are starting to get chilly.

You have it UN or in a scent?

 

@Vika You have it in oil or spray?

I have it unscented In oil. I have more unscented pheros in oil so I can just cover them up. The ones I use most are Treasured Hearts, PM, Heart and Soul and cops. 

@RosesArePinkit might be the same as BAM! Because they both contain copulins. I’ve definitely had people stop and stare or back track or talk a lot with Gotcha.

PM with cops is fun too. 

My cops are all scented though because I’m not brave enough to try them without.

I would like to know the answer too! Hey, Citrine, are you also experimenting with Gotcha? So far I haven’t worn it around any other people, just trying to learn if there are any self effects. Pretty sure I need to wear more, only have noticed maybe a sense of calmness. 

 

 

 

This sounds promising though!  🤞

 

Out of curiosity, can anyone compare it to Heart & Soul or maybe even BAM! ?

 

 

Gotcha is more sexy I feel than Heart&Soul. Heart&Soul everyone wants to touch you/comfort you in my experience.
I haven’t experimented with BAM much. 

I do think Gotcha helps with bonding and it definitely gets you attention.

I’ll have to pull this back out and let you know. I haven’t been wearing pheros much lately.

Nooooo, you'll make Mara cry if you do that.  She still can't forgive herself for doing her own version of cucumber melon (even though I still love it to this day).

Oh geeze 😂🤦🏻‍♀️
well, if everyone is on the coconut caramel ship not cucumber melon, it sounds like a win! 
 

@Eastwood22 I’ve been getting a lot of Halloween shopping YT videos in my feed lately and someone went to BBW to see what they had Halloween wise so I felt inspired. Lmao

I haven’t gone there in years and I didn’t buy anything. Their perfume sprays make me sneeze now. Ever since I swapped to oils and LPMP regular perfume gives me major allergies.
