OMG. I had no idea that I would be drooling over my arm on this one! Love!

The minty chocolatey goodness hit me up right away, but no one note was overpowering. While the mint didn't last super long it was long enough to draw me into a nice holiday spirit, since I wanted something festive. The peppermint also reminded me of what is in Breathe Into Me, which was nice, though in that blend it can be a bit strong/menthol and in CCC it is gentle and then drifts away. After dry down the vanilla amber mix became wonderful. The vanilla is not overpowering or overly foody vanilla on me, and the amber gives it a very warm and mellow quality. I have been sniffing my wrists all morning so far and thinking that I have on a completely different perfume because I don't smell "Christmas" or candy-cane, but very playful and feminine.

What I am loving the most, and hopefully not jinxing myself, is that the cocoa in it reminds me of LP Gold cocoa butter a bit. Not too dark or chocolate, but cocoa sweet. This one is a keeper and I can wear it year round too.

And to think that my first choice was Festival of Lights, and this was second, if I had only known. I am so glad I got a sample, bottle to be ordered shortly

I got this as a gift to myself for Christmas and am SOooooo glad that I did, a new item in my lavender collection! I love the label, adorable

I did not get the pointy or strong lavender when first applied, or when dried down, on me it's the soft lavender and agree on the cloud of relaxation that surrounds me. I didn't detect much of the woodsmoke but am going to slather it a bit more. It's a very comforting light scent on me, and hoping for some tranquility as I'm at work today with my lovely co-workers.

Thank you thank you! Package arrived today. Yay!!!! Adorable stockings and thank you so much for the sniffies

Shipping notice arrived in my inbox last night, can't wait!!!

I wore this on Saturday while putting up my Christmas tree, figured it would kick off the season. I love the tree scents right off, very seasonal. The white peaches emerge after a few hours with just a hint of cedar. Reminds me of walking in the woods in the fall with just a hint of fruit. And the peach wasn't overly bright or sparkling/juicy, but much lighter and definitely not overpowering. The labdanum gave it a nice base, it was hard for me to really figure out what it was...a bit of leather or the resin in it?

 

Ohmygosh! I'm absolutely CERTAIN that heating it would have changed the entire experience....imagine...shivering, hot, cold, miserable...someone peels away the blanket you're shivering under, lifts your top and smears stinky COLD jelly all over your chest and then puts your top back down onto the gooey mess...ack - and - GROSS The way YOU describe it actually sounds therapeutic all heated and warm and even soothing...

 

Blackcat, I think you'll like this socially and would def say wear to work for retail

 

I'm cracking up over the Vicks memories that have been posted in this thread. I also was a kid slathered in the stuff, though with a wicked hot water bottle wrapped in a towel and placed on my chest after Vicks had been applied and still had a shirt between me and the heat. My grandmother apparently did the same thing to my mom and her brother's, and it did work wonders for chest congestion and sinuses, but it was always so freakin' hot! And I was always worried the hot water bottle would drain all over me and scald me to death. Ah memories. I switched over to using a heating pad on low for my boys, and they willingly let me doctor them since it does help. Throw in a cool-mist vaporizer and you're golden for DIY pneumonia/cold/flu care!

Anyway, back to the review I keep wanting to like this one since I have come to adore lavender scents, but I too am detecting something odd with the mix of lavender and berries. It wasn't as strong as the vick's vapor rub (ha ha!) but definitely did have a very prominent lavender. More like LAVENDER. Reminds me of lavender that I had grown in my garden, dried the flower buds and then saved in a ziploc to make sachets. One whiff after it's been sealed for a while knocks you over since it is so strong. And the berries give it a mix of super-sweet, plasticy candy store berry-scent.

However, silver lining, after about 6 hours the plasticy berry scent ended and I now have a very soft pleasant lavender, not in your face at all, with a light berry powdery scent. This I like! Getting to this point, didn't know if I could do it.

My sample has aged a bit too, and my early tries with Tickle Tickle never resulted in the soft lavender end result. I'm glad I tried it again.

I was having trouble trying to think of how to describe this, but pinky vanilla fluff hits it right on! It's soft, and sweet.. the pink isn't tart for me, and it's very... inobtrusive is all I can think of. It's not an overwhelming scent, and I think it could be layered with other scents easily.

Def pinky vanilla fluff, yum! The musk was heavier in the first hour but settles into a very soft (not powdery though) and feminine scent. Initially the musk was a bit musky/damp on me too but that faded off to a soft and light musk. I slathered it on and the scent lasted all day long too which was great considering it's very sheer. The pink in it wasn't overly sweet or fruity either, just very light for a sugar.

I did try adding a dab of Sugared Berries late in the day. That was OK but by then Pink Musk had faded quite a bit in comparison (granted I was smelling it all day so I thought it was stronger until I added something new) and the Berries really were most prominent. Next time I'll apply both at the same time and see if the pinks compete or just blend well together.

Thanks halo for having this on hand!

Ohhhh, I'd love it if Glamour Puss and Fuzzy Wuzzy were re-brewed. Please, please, please?

I second! Am wearing Glamour Puss today and forgot how much I loved it, and Fuzzy Wuzzy another favorite.

At the risk of being simplistic here, I would love LP Original in a wax melt. I would swear off "generic" scented candles permanently if I knew I could have that year round. Add any pheros you want, I would just love to have it as my (& my home's) signature scent.

Oooh..LP Original wax melts??? I would love my home to smell like LP Original!!!

Me too, me too!!

This wore as a yummy pink syrupy complex berry. I wore it separately at first to enjoy the sugar and juicy berry scents. So glad it wasn't 100% raspberry on me as the black and boysenberry gave it more depth (I didn't detect the other two berries as much, or they blended well). It was sweet and fruity but not cloying or craft store berry/pink.

Then I did my experiment and layered Sugared Berries with LP Original. It was exactly what I was hoping for, a deep berry-mix paired with the mystery of LP. I could wear this combo all year long.

This is my first of the sugared collection and it's perfect! Can't wait to try some more

I see ONE review from Beccah so far. Anyone else get their Sugars yet? John said people should have started receiving them by last Thursday.

I just got mine yesterday, will post now! (I sampled everything kind of at once last night in a flurry of excitement)

I wish fuzzy wuzzy would come back. I missed my chance at it

I'm in the same boat, would love for a rebrew as I'm rationing my sample (forced me into other lavender scents which is good, but I really like this one)

Bring that over here!! I need to smell it! I've been debating on this one for months. I always stop because the pink scares me.

For our next wine night, special guest is this PE

OMG, hearts, I received this a while ago, and forgot to review it. I totally LOVE this, if I close my eyes and inhale, it really is like I'm at a gourmet cupcake boutique about ready to buy their entire stock of these!! Such a light, fluffy vanilla/pink marshmallow. Oh, and the violet note in this is to DIE FOR. I do love me some violets, yes! It really does seem like it's decorating the top of your vanilla marshmallow cupcake, Mara is a genius! And, it also goes GREAT with Heart & Soul. It's so funny at work when someone is standing next to me and says,"Mmmm! What smells SO good! Like vanilla!" Then I suck them in with H&S, heh. (......What? If you knew some of the peeps I work with, I'm doing my co-workers a HUGE favor!)

Fantastic creation, hearts!!

I agree!!! I ordered a bottle in the August sale and it is to die for. The violets are amazing and then the poofy marshmallow fluff is divine, not cakey on me either. Great scent Hearts

I just got my shipping notice, so happy! I can't wait for the sale items to arrive, yay This is a great start to my weekend!!!!

Yum. The boozyness of the bourbon plus vanilla and coconut is great, tropical and fun. Thankfully the brown sugar wasn't too powerful on me (sometimes amps and smells strange) but instead once dry the spices peak through, along some of the tobacco and sandalwood. Reminds me a bit of a beachy pipe tobacco smell. This one wears as a fun scent between the vanilla/coconut/spice for a tropical lady and then the pirate-y tobacco. This one wasn't very long lasting though, will try again with more slathering but first application only lasted a few hours.

I would love a Spiced pear (in my mind, an Un-Wrapped minus the brown sugar and more spice)? And another lavender idea, lavender/patchouli, sort of a spa-like scent?

It's still available on the Artfire site.

Thank you luna65!! I should have looked there before posting! I spotted it and LV's too, yay!

The wild and tea roses in Irish Rose is heavenly, not too strong or pointy, slightly sweet on me. Having the fruits included was a very nice fruity addition when wet. I was hoping for more citrus, but will try again to see if it's just my chemistry today. Once this has been on my skin the sweetness of the sugar and musk blend very well with the floral rose and the oak gives it a nice grounding quality and helped the rose not amp on me. The fragrance floats with just a few drops, on me it would go crazy if I slathered.

(As a total aside/tangent, I love love love rose scents, reminds me of my grandmother's house, though her house smelled like cigs and roses, but it was the 70's! Nana was glamorous with long nails, platinum blonde hair and smoked like a chimney. Her name was a rose name of Estelle, had sisters also named after roses (Reba and Eleanor) and their mom's name was Rose - my middle name. I discovered all of this when looking at rose varieties names in a catalog for my garden, an interesting family discovery.)

Am adding to my wish list even though it's sold out, fruity floral goodness sounds wonderful for summer (ditto for LV's Sweet Pussycat)...well end of summer now.

Lovely floral! The teas in this mix very well with the orchid, helping to calm the floral down a bit to be a delicate fragrance. This one went a little soapy on me after a few hours, but then leveled out to just a soft spring floral. Reminds me of a sachet type of scent.

Really! She looks so familiar it's been driving me crazy!! I think she looks like someone on a show I watch but I just can't place it. It's a very engaging face!

All the new labels are stunning and I agree Rose it will be sad when the surprises end. I am constantly checking for new faces from my phone.

I was thinking the same thing! She looks very familiar to me too but for the life of me I can't figure out where I recognized her

These labels are wonderful. I love being able to see everyone, thank you Mara!

Have you tried the Trading Post, AmyRose? I'm really starting to enjoy La Sylphide/LFM. It's lovely.

Yep, was just stalking there I agree about La Sylphide!!

My kids' labels just came out. My oldest is Sugared Milk Chocolate and youngest is Sugared Vanilla.

They look adorable!!!
