  1. When I sniffed this one in the vial, it kind of reminded me of Just Breathe, I think because of the cool freshness. 

    On my skin, lots of mint. I love mint! The rose does come forward as it dries down. It smells like a cool morning, next to a vase of baby pink roses. I feel like I can still smell the mint, very faintly. Maybe it's just wishful thinking.. this definitely smells heavenly! I'd love to have a full bottle!

    That sounds sooooo good ! I ordered a trial of it that should have been in today, but USPS keeps changing my delivery date. Licorice is not my thing usually, but I was so intrigued by the notes, & it sounds even better than I thought 

    USPS has been really weird lately - I couldn’t even access tracking yesterday. 

     

    I hope one you love this one! I love licorice, but I never knew I liked it in perfume until I tried LP, lol. Now I have several bottles of licorice perfumes! 

  3. Ohhhh, this takes me back! I loved Tangy Ylang so much! 😍

     

    This is very much like Cougar at first, so if you love Cougar, definitely try this! Tangy Ylang is sweeter, though. The tang of the grapefruit is there, but not the tartness. It’s a beautiful fruity floral, with more emphasis on sweet fruit, with just a bit of creamy floral to smooth it out. The grapefruit does fade a bit after drydown, leaving enough to huff at skin level. The creamy sweetness still wafts around, though.. yum!

  4. I only had a sample of the original White Licorice long ago, so I can’t compare them... but this is gorgeous! 

    Looking at the notes, I would think maybe this wouldn’t work on me, as brown sugar often does a weird caramel-y thing on my skin. But I can’t even really detect it in here. I get loads of creaminess, it smells like licorice wrapped in fluffy sweet vanilla cream. Full bottle for sure! 

  5. The Vault!! Tangy Ylang 😍 Pillow Stuffing 😍 White Licorice 😍 and Medium! Mr Perfect wore that the other day :swoon: 

    I'm so glad there's one with Love God! And pairing Scribe with TMI - genius! 😆

    I can't wait to try all the women's scents, but that Mistress Mine label  :heart: and Nox Nyx :heart: and Crema Delizia :heart: yay BAM!

    All of the artwork is just stunning! They look fabulous - so excited!

    It's been awhile since I've browsed the love potion website and I find it a bit confusing in terms of search.  Couldn't find what I thought were part of the  permanent collection.  Can't seem to find Sneaky clean anywhere....even when doing a search on Google.  Can someone help me out?

     

    It's one of my favorite low key fragrances that is suitable for work 

    Yes, the temporary site is sometimes hard to navigate. The new one will be up soon!

    I couldn't find Sneaky Clean either... one Google page took me to a Sold Out listing. Maybe it's out of stock? You can email to check: CataLunaLPMP@yahoo.com 

  7. I really like this one. It's fresh and lightly floral. It *feels* like rain! I can close my eyes and imagine sitting on the back porch, the rain coming down, a slight breeze bringing the scent of the rosebushes and honeysuckle to me from the garden. I love the woods/leaves that really keep it from being too floral. It's a fall garden in the rain type of scent, all aspects of the garden. So pretty!

    I always wondered if people did that, buy a lot of trials and make a roller ball bottle out of them... How many samples did you need to make it? And was it like a 5ml bottle? Just an inquiring mind that would like to know ?. @Bella15

    Eek. I don't really remember. I bought some 5 ml roller balls from Pilot Vial and I *think* maybe they hold 2-3 trial vials.. I made a 10 ml bottle from 5-6 samples, when I couldn't find a back up of my beloved Carbon Black. Grand Parfum on Etsy has a lot of vials/supplies too.

    @Bella15 I had the same experience today with 2014 Ebil-ish, I think I just put too much on this morning. But it just smelled so good! Yesterday I worked the new variant, and later in the day I kept getting whiffs of my delicious self. I've also made myself momentarily nose blind with Desperation and Djinn. It also has a fermented alcohol note, maybe my nose thinks it's drunk and having a scent blackout.

    2014 is my favorite! I had a hoard of trial vials and made a little roller ball

     

    ETA: a scent blackout ?

  10. I have loved all the versions of EBIL-ish.. it is just so pretty! The Egyptian musk is amazing.. is the Scotch accord new?? I don't remember that from before. But I think I wear this too much, because I might have become nose-blind to it ?  it seems like it disappears on me. 

  11. All I remembered about this one was that it had apple in it, so I couldn't figure out why I kept smelling berries and chocolate! The chocolate is in the forefront on me, and the apple fades quickly. I'm left with berries and super sweet ambery chocolate. I get a bit of caramel, but it's not overpowering. This one is super yummy!

  12. On me, this seems mostly to be powdery hot cocoa! Perfect PMS or bedtime scent, lol. I don't get much amber, either. Milk scents don't really agree with my skin, so I'll pass this on, but it's very yummy in the vial. 

  13. Mmmmm! I love this! Reading the notes, I wouldn't have thought I would like it this much. I've always been leery of vetiver, and myrhh is not always good on my skin. But they both work so well here! I wonder if it's the white musk that keeps it from being too deep and dark? 

    Anyway, on me, this is the perfect Autumn scent. The patch and coffee are amazing together - Mara is a genius! I can't wait to try this on Mr Perfect! He already put on Dark Fyre or I would swipe it on him right now..

  14. I know I tried Allumette, but it was so long ago, I don't really remember it, so I won't make a comparison. On me, this is a beautiful vanilla sandalwood, with just a hint of smokiness. It's soft and understated, but has good  longevity. I've worn it to work for the last 3 days, and everybody wants to be my best friend. 

  15. ? I tried this one on before reading the notes. I am not a nut-lover. This isn't bad, though. A little spice, a lot of sweet berries, and the nutty, gooey base. 

     

  16. Mmmm! This is delicious! At least, it smells delicious ?

    I'm waiting to see if the spices go crazy on my skin like they sometimes do but as of right now, everything is playing nicely together. Pumpkin Scotchies, for sure!

  17. I wasn't always a fan of resin-y blends. My nose has evolved over the years, and I can truly appreciate this now. This is a comforting scent. It envelops me, and calms me. Definitely one I want in my arsenal! The benzoin stands out on my skin, with whispers of the cinnamon and myrrh.
