"she got to" ... I *love* your turns of phrase goddesslynne ! I long to have your attitude.

 

Haven't tried this in any form yet but look forward to trying my little precious pcmp decant that I've just been looking at for a while.

Wow, how absolutely lovely. THANK YOU and HAPPY HAPPY Easter & Spring to you both as well!!!! xoxo

Aw, sorry haven't tried that one - getting a sample in my next order...at least on me, wet, the lavender was clearly the primary note. I know what you mean about lavender giving you a headache - I've got some pure EO and if I get too close to it for too long I get that headache. I don't with this.

I must reserve a LV Sugar Kisses.

 

I am making a list to make another order in the next few weeks though, so would it be possible to just reserve it?...or maybe by then there will be some in the cart...? whatever is easiest for you. Thank you.

less powdery, less sweet (at least on me, so far; note above that the sugar stayed with Mara a long time). WEB has a quiet riot of floral going on; this one's just lavender.

um ok this has morphed tremendously... I'm now getting HONEY and it has become much more grown up.

 

It is not green on me at all. As it's drying down, in fact it's not even all that floral. I think the fruits and woods are taking over. VERY VERY INTERESTING.

All right, that's it ... I want one, probably boosted w/something. Thank you LV for the descriptions !!!!

Hey LV have you tried LP Pink 2009? How does it compare? Not that you haven't given a fantastic description, but pink can go weird on me occasionally so I'm doing my research

OK, *why* is this reminding me of Cops & Robbers so much?!? maybe the brulee part of this is like the donut part of C&R?!! Anyway, I suspect this one is going to be my surprise favorite of the month. Wears "close" on me too.

Chemistry variations still crack me up.. ALL i am getting wet is a melting gooey MILK chocolate , not dark - maybe that's the marshmallow fooling me - with the hint that some smoke is gonna be coming through. I bet this would cover EoW like nobody's business.

It punched me in the face with a big cartoon boxing glove of lemon to start. Now the coconut is peeking out. Will report back on further developments.

The pear and woods - especially the pear - give this is a unique twist that is growing on me by the moment. VERY spring, VERY girly...

The maple is way coming out for me now too, blending beautifully with the lavender. I want to cover my body with this and then go spin around on a hilltop like the beginning of Sound of Music.

THANK YOU for your as always generous freebies which I would otherwise not have thought of!!! got a bunch on now! xoxo

Predictably perfect. I got mine boosted w/EoW so that may be affecting the scent. Mellow, creamy and not too sweet. The coffee is less prominent/'black' than in my Coco. Coffee Ice Cream PE for those familiar. Need another bottle.

Mara warned that the natural camphor edge of lavender is apparent when just sniffing the bottle, but I did not find that at all - if anything I smell MORE sweetness (sugar + maple) in the bottle than on my skin! but it's only been about 10 minutes. On skin, the lavender is silky smooth and reminds me most of With Every Breath, and even though this is *NOT* candy-sweet, something about the kind of sweetness is making my mouth water which has only happened with one or two other LPs that I recall. OM NOM. Mara what kind of sugar did you end up using in here? xoxo

Couldn't agree more

Dang guys I'd forgotten how fabulous the peppery bite in this is. Unusual and very inspiring.

I've never smelled it un so I have no idea...

 

I just learned that my dear elderly aunt has terrible insomnia - she can only sleep 2-3 hours a night and apparently it is torture.

 

I was thinking of sending her some of this.

 

She is on Prozac and a beta-blocker though. Anyone have experience/thoughts as to whether the Teddy would be problematic?

well thanks a lot Beccah - the berries put me off initially but now I am going to HAAAVE to try lp spring 2011 also expect to love my incoming sample of Smoking Bun and to have to get a bottle of that boosted with maybe Perfect Match...

I know right? Usually if I sleep deeply and for a long time, it makes the back WORSE (because I'm not moving) but this was the opposite...

Oh yeah, it's absolutely wonderful for bedtime as well as taming the raging PMS monster. I would recommend it to any woman for hormonal issues (and sleep is related to that) as well as the occasional slather on an XY.

 

I took a few days off and tried again and yup, dramatic difference in both quality and length of sleep. AND I had forgotten this note of Luna's but can confirm that this actually alleviated a PHYSICAL pms issue that I have- lower back pain. I swear you guys. Just unbelievable.

I love the shades of purple! I haven't smelt it yet but to give you an idea of what I mean by "foody lavender" -- have you ever had any cookies or cocktails with lavender in them? If not -- when it's in food, it tends not to have that bright/sharp/piercing/almost citrus- or eucalyptus-like edge that lavender can have when it's in bath & body products. It's soft and heady and light. It doesn't usually even taste like anything - it just perfumes whatever it's in.... if it interests you, there are a lot of food products on etsy that are lavender-scented, like cookies and caramels......

NOM lookit the adorable cupcake label!! Is a lavender-scented vanilla cupcake with maple frosting. I have been bit hung up on foody lavender lately

 

and the coffee cake is coffee, cinnamon, vanilla and brown sugar. um yeah ahem

I wanted to spare my assistant the lashes to his back and pistol whippings.

 

but I think much of the appeal of Leather is that it makes the recipient of such treatment, LIKE it
