Definitely need to try this; it makes me ridiculously curious. I'd love to see how the absinthe mixes with the cocoa and coffee notes on my skin. It will either go very very right or very very wrong. I'm dying to know!

I was waiting for something like this! I love the way berries mix with lavender but something in A Treasure of Amethyst didn't og quite right on me--crossing my tentacles for this one!

"Soapy" was all I needed to hear. Another soapy sexy scent along the lines of Sneaky Clean? Yes please!

Wet this actually reminded me of a bubble bath I used to use as a kid, not necessarily a bad thing, just not what I expected. After a minute or two it starts to resemble the apple mead I was hoping for! That's exactly it: apple mead. I've tried raspberry mead, not apple, but if you put apple in place of the raspberry I'm assuming that's what it would smell like. The honey is golden and sweet, one of the gentler LP honeys (read: not smutty), and just blends so well with the apple--reminds me a little of marigold & amaranth. I like how the alcohol aspect keeps it from being too sweet, as does the leaf note in the background. Like drinking apple mead with autumn leaves swirling in the background. Everything in the October collection has been a win for me so far!

Yeah, for me this is a no-brainer me and my foodies.

So am I, always thought the name made the most sense pronounced like that. And please do take your time, don't burn out when you don't have a boss breathing down your neck. Steal a few minutes to snorgle one of the kitties.

Absolutely wonderful fig scent! It starts off with that hint of characteristic greeness fig notes can have but that quickly fades to reveal luscious purple figs with tangy blackcurrant. As it dries down further I get the soft woods and slight, sweet smokiness of the tobacco resin (I could probably recognize tobacco resin anywhere) which does not in any way smell like a cigar. Throughout, the fig and currant remain the stars, and the woods and tobacco serve to deepen them and give them a mysterious, sexy vibe.

Can I say how much I heart this, Hearts? I wore it yesterday while raking leaves and it mixed perfectly with the whole eau de New Jersey in November. The earth note isn't really like dirt at all, it just deepens the entire blend. I feel like the stars here are really the leaves and walnut, which go so well together and really evoke that feeling of autumn air, while the touch of caramelized sugar gives it just a bit of sweetness.

I'm probably going to love Petit-Four Your Thoughts, foodie that I am lol. But X appeal also looks right up my alley!

Can I even count the ways I love you LadyV? But it really is a "me" scent. I love those autumn scents that have a foody element, and then something else distinctly from "outdoors in the fall" like dry leaves, woods, woodsmoke or hay. If you could toast hot chocolate like you can toast a marshmallow I think you'd end up with something like this.

I say anything called "Hot Hand Jobs" needs a jolt of booze.

This one is addictive. It starts off as sugary vanilla marshmallow, but what gives it that irresistible quality is the smoke that arises on the drydown. The smoke note here isn't a heavy in-your-face smoke, but a very light, ethereal veil of smoke that gives the marshmallow something extra. Kind of like Sugared Bonfire's ghostly little sister. Love!

This starts out as a predominantly berry-filled tart, delicious in its own right, yes, but what really makes it is the blending of berries and pumpkin. As it starts drying down the warm, creamy pumpkin swirls with the berries and takes it in a decidedly autumnal direction. Come to think of it the mixing of pumpkin and berry reminds me of another fave of mine, Lusty Licious, except with the nutty pecan and deep resin in the background instead of buttercream. There's a hint of spice, but nothing overwhelming. This is taking its place right up there with Lusty Licious, I say no more.

Easy to say I'm in love with this. It is, and I really mean exactly like drinking hot chocolate outside in the late-autumn weather. Reminds me of when I was a kid and went to the local Christmas festival every year right at the beginning of December, when it wasn't snowing yet but the smell of dry leaves and woodsmoke was in the air. I'd get hot chocolate hot enough to burn my mouth (which it did once) and would stand there huffing it until it cooled enough to drink. While I was standing there alternately huffing and blowing, the leaves and woodsmoke would blend wonderfully with the smell of chocolate. This is exactly like that experience.

Another winning LP honey! This actually turns out a lot more, er, "appropriate" on me than many of the "dirtier" honeys. Initially I get a lot of thick, rich honey, and the musks gradually emerge. The final drydown is actually somewhat powdery but powdery in the best way possible (think in the sense of Babe in the Woods though they're different scents). It's definitely honey-dominant on my skin; I'm guessing the musks and ambergris end up being the more powdery elements but that means I can actually wear it to work without smelling like smut.

Delicious warm spiced pumpkin cake, spicier than Pumpkin Souffle, but the spice is still tempered enough so that it doesn't overpower everything else on my skin. It's sweet enough from the brown sugar, but not sickly sweet. Wet it's all pumpkin cake, but on the drydown I love how the patchouli adds an earthy sexiness.

YES. This was everything I expected from a good foody pumpkin scent. It's warm, buttery pumpkin whipped into a fluffy, cakey dessert. I'm also glad that my skin doesn't amp the spices to eleven. They're definitely there, giving it warmth and rounding it out, but none take over. I think it's the fluffy quality of it that reminds me of what the whole house smells like when pumpkin bread or a pumpkin pie is baking, like clouds of that sumptuous scent in the air.

Screw "men's", this one is for ME. As I hoped, I amp the tonka and vanilla, along with the oak, teak and walnut right behind. Aspects of it remind me of Unisexy and Marley's Ghost though it's an altogether different scent. I actually don't get much pine at all, just a little bit drifting in and out like a bit of autumn wind sneaking in through a crack in the window. Just a hint of vetiver too, enough to darken it but not enough to scream its presence. I think I'm going to pull a Luna and nab me an entire bottle.

This is like taking vanilla cake batter and pumpkin cake batter, then mixing them into an epic olfactory orgasm. I get the buttery, creamy quality of the vanilla, the warm baked pumpkin, and just a hint of mulberry. Like Mara says the mulberry isn't overpowering--it really does give it a subtle accent like the faintest blush of red on autumn leaves.

Inogaddadavida indeed. This is heavenly. It's like my favorite vanilla tea on steroids. I definitely do amp the smoky vanilla and burnt sugar just as I predicted, and I wouldn't have It any other way. I love how the black tea note coming up from underneath makes it bittersweet, but not especially bitter or herbal. It gives it a mysterious depth. I actually do detect the smoke on the final drydown. It's very subtle, like a shadow sneaking up behind you, but it's definitely there and makes the whole thing that much sexier.

Believe me, as soon as I get this I'm a-reviewin' I amp sugar and vanilla notes, and burnt sugar is one of my favorite things in the world so I positively can't wait. I'm getting even more excited reading your observation of the bitter tea being juxtaposed with the sweet elements. I love combos like that.

So with this I should be.....let it be something creepy.....BLATANTLY INVITING! Not creepy but pretty hot.

I can't smell them at all LOL and I smell everything! To add to what everyone else is saying, which I agree with fully, there is a chance it could be your skin chemistry messing it up. There are two ways you could test for this; try it with a cover scent as BB said, or test it on your skin and compare with someone else's. I've never done this with pheros but many times with un-pheroed scents that smelled "off" and sure enough, when they smelled fine on the other person (usually an equally perfume-obsessed friend) I knew my chemistry was the problem. Ask your wife if she'll try some of the unscented phero on her skin as a basis for body chemistry comparison. Of course being armed with a bunch of flowers won't hurt.

Thanks Mara!! I'd also reserved Inna's Gadda da Vida (master version) but I just put in my order so no worries, it's in there.

I don't think my guy is big into woody scents, he likes the fresh-smelling stuff, but at even the slimmest possibility of having him wear something called Fang I'm getting a sample.
