  1. This is a winner for all you strawberry fans! Creamy rich vanilla swirled buttercream with the strawberry blending seamlessly. With sugar on top. Sinfully sweet.

  2. This a rare s’mores, wood fire, smokey woodsy I can wear. Chocolate and marshmallow blast when wet which is so nommy. Then the nutmeg, cedar and vanilla come in and anchor and ground everything. Really smooth not a sharp edge in sight. I probably will save this for a little cooler weather and I can’t wait!

  3. Wow! Just wow. I love honeysuckle but am not generally that big into jasmine or hedione as they can get a little stabby In the 3rd eye area. Once again Mara makes one that breaks all my rules. I love it. Luna’s description of 3D is spot on. This is round and lush. The florals are rich sweet AND airy at the same time while the honey brings in that lightly dripping warmth. The clover is so nice for keeping it from being too sticky. This is like walking around flower gardens on a bright sunny Spring into Summer morning where the light is just right. Stunning, simply stunning.

  4. My friend Andrew is wearing this today( and probably buying a bottle now) and in the vial I didn’t care for it due to the big hit of dragon’s blood -which I’m not a fan of. But on him after dry down this is gorgeous! Deep, warm, spicy and vaguely identifiably resinous but not so overt that I recoil ( LMAO I’m not a big resin lover). Smoooooth and definitely sexy. I’d be into this on a man. 

  5. I really like this one but not sure I love it yet. Love the tonka, vanilla and balsam big time. The tobacco is the type that doesn’t bug me and is just smooth and good but the mahogany is strong enough to be giving me pause. But not to long dry down yet and I feel like this is one I will need to test multiple times.  It is really warm and sexy regardless. I know I’d love it on the right man if not myself.

  6. Wow this takes me right back to 2014. Really a close rebrew. I agree the Apple packs a slightly bigger punch maybe but I agree that could be just the freshness of this new batch.  Tart, sweet, fresh  made a leeeeetle bit smutty with the honey tang. Then the amber and oak moss drydown really soften it and bring that powdery smoothness. Really lovely perfume and a fun morpher. Perfect for Spring and Summer!

  7. I adore this version! I’m sure it’s no surprise that this one is my first BIG LOVE since my original PE Angelique. Or maybe it is, as I think I’ve been rather quiet about the rebrew variants never holding a candle to Angelique -for me personally. This is like Angelique and Odalisque OG had a beautiful baby. It’s actually aged into closer to Angelique over the past weeks. It’s a bit sweeter and heavier and weightier than the actual original Angelique which had an airier quality with the musk compared to the rebrews which have always been richer and smuttier. I have always enjoyed samples of Odalisque and Odalesque but this is my first FB since Angelique ( of which there were many)! Thank you Mara! This feels like a present for me. LOVE! SQUEE!

    I just ordered a couple of the Quintessence sprays, and a trial of Lilu.
    My sniffer is still messed up because of Covid, so I’m leery of buying perfumes right now 😏 

    It took awhile for my smell to fully come back last year but not as long as yours is taking. I’m going to order at least one Quintessence spray too. Lavender...shocking, I’m sure.

    Okay.  I have to apologize for this review being WAY overdue.  I really like this beard oil and that is saying something because I've tried A LOT of different beard oils and beard balms.  Most either do not condition the whiskers very well at all or smell terrible.  Not only does this condition very well, it also smells FANTASTIC.  Don't let the initial scent strength worry you.  It dries down very quickly into a very nice, clean scent that goes perfectly fine with any other scent you may want to wear.  

    Great review!

  10. Yesssssss! YASSSS! Yummmmm! YAY!! I love this so much. I’m so glad Mara remembered I requested a Balsamic vanilla floral. When she asked me about it last month I did not remember but that’s not too uncommon for me these days but we talked and she agreed with me saying a lush lily is really the floral I’d want and omg KAPOW! I love. So glad Mara made this. Thank you! The vanilla and balsam are wonderful and rich and smooth. The lily is lush and sweet but not cloying. This is like my original first LP LOVE Sugared Lilies with LP’s signature vanilla. 

  11. In the vial I could smell a lot of bamboo which can get stabby on me, so I put it aside for awhile hoping it would settle. Now that I’m wearing it on skin, it’s much more wearable for me with the citrus and especially the Musk. I love a green musk combo. The citrus fades really fast which was to be expected with any citrus but even more so with EOs.  Very wearable scent for everyone. Really nice for spring/summer. Great idea pairing this with Mega Watt!

  12. The peach and honey are way in the background for me. The peach is there, but it’s so intermingled with the mimosa and the green elements that it’s hard to identify. The honey does come out more in the long drydown. I think the aloe and clover make it just a little too pokey for me, which is sad because this is a glorious example of a perfect Spring perfume.

  13. This is definitely a new take on cherry blossom. The hibiscus and tea make it much fresher than your typical cherry blossom scent. It does read a bit soapy on me during initial stages. Long dry down gets softer and a little more cherry blossom-esque. Really really softens up but also fades fairly fast on me. Very nice freshly showered skin scent.
