@dolphindolls2 I think it’s the combination of the vanilla and the orchid maybe? I’m not sure I know what orchid smells like really but the vanilla has an unfamiliar sweetness that reads as soft bubblegum on me. I do wish the plum wasn’t so obvious on me for so long. My chemistry turns it very tangy. I’m so glad you requested a rebrew of this though, I missed out on it the first time around.

So this lasts forever! I applied it very early this morning and I can still smell it. It took awhile for the plum to fade but now I’m getting wafts of the bubblegum orchid @Onyx mentioned. I really like this part of the panther!🐈‍⬛🥰

So far this is all plum on me. Tangy, juicy plum. I’ve had it on for a few hours now. I’ll let it rest and try again in a couple days and hopefully the orchid and vanilla will come out to play.🤞🏼I keep trying to compare this to Carbon Black but that’s just because it’s the only other orchid scent I have, I know they’re completely different. Even if this doesn’t evolve on me beyond the plum, it is nice, just not as complex as I was expecting. This is not meant to be a negative review at all! I do like it, I just need to adjust my expectations.😘

Oh good gods, Potion Bastet!!!😳 This was one that was a little before my time here at LPMP but I’ve read and dreamed about it often! (the original from 2006 I believe)
These look absolutely gorgeous Mara!

also I've gotta ask, does vanilla always last absolutely forever on everyone or is that my skin chemistry? I had forgotten it was even in this blend until I could detect it the next day. I feel like everything I wear eventually fades into its vanilla components no matter what other base notes it has. 🤔

Vanilla does the same for me and it’s why it’s one of my favorite ingredients! I hate to hear people describe it as “basic”. My most favorite long vanilla fade is Sweet Leaf! The maple is almost too much when I first apply but the vanilla is so damn sexy and smokey and lasts through the next day!🥰 The one that fades on me very quickly though, and I have no idea why considering the amount of vanillas it has, is Bayou Musk. It’s the one exception to the lingering vanilla scents.

My black panther should be here tomorrow, I am so excited to finally try it!!

I love that @Onyx! I definitely don’t feel like I’m 43. My daughter is much better at being an adult than I am.

I hope you love your Vessel spray! The oil is a much more intimate close to you scent and the spray gets out there and makes friends! I’m glad I have both options.

@OnyxI’m 43, my daughter is 24. I do always tell people I’m 27 though and joke with my daughter that one day we’ll both be 27!😂

Wow, thank you so much, @Amanda! 🙏🏻 I was honestly very unsettled by the label image, but your naming of them just made me warm up to them!

Oh good! ☺️ I name everything, my refrigerator, my vacuum, my car (she’s a Jetta so her name is Joan) My daughter says there’s an actual term for that, never remember what it is, but I just think it’s fun. 
The spray is great @RosesArePink! The oil doesn’t diffuse as much as I’d like it to so the spray really gets it out there, which I love! I don’t want people to smell me coming from a mile away but I do love it when they’re drawn in to my bubble. I went to see a friend play in a band last weekend and was introduced to a couple new people, and at the end of the show one of the guys looked really excited as he came back over and said “something smelled so good earlier and once I realized it was you I had to come find you one more time before you left!” And instead of a handshake like earlier, he gave me a big hug, it was so nice. 

I am totally drawn to this beautiful label also! I love it. I’m considering getting a full bottle of this but I need to wait since I just bought more Vessel. I feel amazing every time I put this on, and it doesn’t take much so my sample will hopefully last until I can get more. There’s a They Might Be Giants song where they talk about “walking in the glow of each others majestic presence” and Ever Moor makes me feel like I have a majestic presence.✨💖

Wait!?! The dolls have names??? 😶

I named them😂 I figured they needed  names if I was spraying myself with their perfume every day.

@Onyx I decided to get 2 more, I just couldn’t resist…I didn’t even try to resist actually. Arachne and Grimrose (the dolls) looked right into my soul and I was powerless to their delicious persuasion.😂

I finally got around to trying this! After reading all the notes I’m trying to pick them out but all I’m getting is eggnog, which is delicious! And since it’s got Lace it’s a much safer everyday wear than Compromising Positions, which is a favorite. It’s creamy, slightly thick, sweet and yummy. I don’t get selfies from many pheros but Lace is a favorite for the hits I get from others. I didn’t try any of the previous versions of this but I am so happy I finally got this one!

I'm debating whether to get more than one full bottle of this. 

 

I was debating also but my (lack of) bank account put an end to that real quick.🤦🏼‍♀️

I love that your husband is so adept at identifying scents! If someone tells me what the notes are, I can say “oh yeah, I do smell that!” Otherwise it’s just an ooh that’s sweet or spicy or even more generic “that’s nice!”😂

Your review compelled me to order a trial @Amanda! I was disinterested but I like how you described the old books/paper smell and the scent that remained on your hoodie! 📚🍊

Oh good! I hope you enjoy it! I’ve used it a few more times on my clothing instead of skin since my skin changes it in a different way. It lasts forever and there’s no change in the drydown like when skin chemistry and temperature gets involved.

I don’t get maple from this, that’s amazing that your husband picked it out though! 10 points for Gryffindor😂 actually my house is Hufflepuff, but I digress😂

I wore this to a party at my sisters today, I sprayed it everywhere! I asked her what she thinks and she said “ooh you smell like grammas bread” I said “exactly!!” Well, I shrieked it really.

@Onyx

I tried this again today, on top of some lingering AToP from yesterday, and it smells sweeter today. More like the vanilla pudding scent in the vial. 

I ordered this in a spray so I can intentionally overdo it with this! 
I have a couple other scents with maple and usually I amp that like crazy, but I’m really not getting much in this at all. I think it’s what’s giving the pecans the light sweetness but it’s not overpowering syrup like it normally would be on me. It’s funny because every time I wear Darling Clementine my mom says “oh you’re wearing your syrup perfume” I guess I can see that since, on me, it is a very thick kind of sweetness smell. I asked her if she smelled syrup with this and she said no, asked if she smelled oatmeal cookies and she said “no you smell like toast…can I have this one?”😂

I just put my hoodie back on and can smell this on the sleeves, the orange is still noticeable there and I like it even better! I might have to make a point to get messy with the application of this and get it on my clothes!

I put this on this morning and it smelled exactly like old books! Not dirty, just old paper and I really like it, it’s interesting. The orange isn’t bright citrusy, there’s something that is tempering it and I dig that too, citrus scents do not like me! I’m not really getting anything else and the orange faded pretty quickly so I’m just left with this really cool antique library smell and I’m so surprised I like it as much as I do!

In the vial this is a delicious vanilla pudding, on my skin though it’s all alcohol. A kind of sharp alcohol, not even sort of sweet like rum in a shot glass. I’m disappointed because the label is so damn cute! But I have learned that what doesn’t work for me will usually work great for my mom so I’ll give it to her to try.

I really like Orange in Mayhem, but the old books smell is not my fav…I would really like a scent with the same orange with a different tinge of bitterness - a drop of coffee or cardamom 

I think it’s a niche fragrance, and maybe that’s not the right word, it’s not one I’d wear everyday, but I am really digging the book smell! I’ve had a couple that say they smell like old books but they just smell dusty or dirty, this one actually smells like paper and I really enjoy it! You’re right though, the orange is very nice! Not citrusy orange, just a nice orange. 

This is beautiful! It smells like fresh fresh cut flowers with still wet stems and as it dries down it gets wetter, if that makes any sense at all.😂  I don’t normally enjoy the “fresh” florals or fresh cut grass type scents, it just smells weedy to me, so I am so surprised that this is so lovely. I’ve never actually smelled hyacinths before and it’s not a typical rose so I can’t even say what flower I’m smelling, but it is a big gorgeous bouquet in a vase of water, it’s stunning! 

So I’m already totally in love with Vessel, but today I’m wearing Ever Moor and it is lovely! Just wanted to say @luna65I love this line so much🥰 For lovers of the outdoors, the wild and the windswept.

Oh wow @Onyx! Great rub down!

I just got mine and tore into Vessel immediately! Instantly I get the fresh bread that I was so hoping for! It’s so yummy! I’m getting the pralines now too, it’s only been about 8 minutes, and they smell sweet. This reminds me of a nutty bread my grandma used to make, I have no idea the ingredients since she never wrote it down, just made it from memory, but it was one of my favorite treats as a kid. I am loving the bread note so much, I hope it lingers through the dry down.🥰

@OnyxI meant to say run down but rub down makes me giggle🤭
