    Veloute Lavande

    I love this one! This has become my go to sleepy scent---I dab some on both me and my pillow every night and it is wonderful! What is funny is my SO started asking last week for me to "fix up" his pillow too every night! Then even funnier still, twice this week after asking for me to rub some on his pillow he then asked for extra. So the first time this happened, I get the bottle back out and lean over to put more on his pillow---and he says no, not that---and holds out his arm! He actually wanted some on his arm for nighttime as he liked it so much and found it so relaxing! This has NEVER happened before with any scent! I think the briskness of the lavender is what is doing it.
  2. This one is total YUM! Very sugary spicy with a little bit of redwood on me. I am glad I got this one as a FB. I really like it by itself and also with layering with other scents. It gives other scents a yummy edible sweeter edge. PSA--Everything Nice is showing up in the LP shopping cart as only having 1 bottle left FYI.

    Summer Dance

    On me this is very nice light summer musk. Sweet. Also more of a skin type scent. I can't pick out the oud or attar. I think the picture on the bottle does a great job of evocating the scent to come-- very much I get a light summery guazy musk. If you like lighter and sweeter musks I think you will like this.

    Sea Lily

    It is the most refreshing sea mist/very light floral/ tropical breezeish LP scent I have. Total love. On me this is very much like an ocean breeze. I get a very salty water scent, then a little pineapple, and very light orchid/ pitake. I don't get any magnolia. I wore it this weekend while traipsing outside at the zoo with the family in the heat and it was amazing. I smelled wonderful plus I actually seemed to feel cooler. I went through a entire sample vial in a day with reapplying. Great summer scent. On my bottle list to order as I think a must have for me on hot days.

    Candytuft Tea

    This is one of my surprise favorites this month. I get very soft creamy pink from this. The candytuft by no means screams floral in this to me; rather it is a soft pink heart. I also get the balancing tea and clove, however they are very light on me and work more to round out the pillowy creamy pinkness. This is soft and sensual. Very balanced and well rounded. I enjoyed wearing this one this afternoon but also see myself wearing this one to relax/to bed. It really nicely combines both a sensual as well as relaxing vibe for me. Will be definitely ordering a FB, I see myself getting a lot of use out of this and enjoying in different settings. Total win!

    Veloute Lavande

    I love lavender and am glad I purchased this one unsniffed as a FB. On me this is a very brisk (not sweet at all) lavender and oakmoss blend. The brisk lavender definitely dominates this blend for me. This is a very energizing and fresh scent. I see this one as great right out of the shower to start your day. This would also be a nice work scent. Classy and fresh.
  9. Thanks Dolly, that helps. Your description was enough to push me over the edge and add a LAM Peach bottle when I placed my order instead of just sticking to the OCCOs like my normal pattern! Thanks again, Mel
  10. Thanks for the Spark in the Dark recommendation. I haven't tried that one but looked it up and it sounds great! I will have to put a sample of that on my next order (which will be soon with all the great exciting new releases coming).
  11. I am with you on OCCO black. I love both the OCCO black and red and mixing them with LP black and red. LPs are just so much fun I have found to layer. I have a sample of Passion and Desire and really enjoyed it. That is supposed to be similar right to mixing LP red and black? It came out a little different than that on me but I really liked it. Of course that was one of the ones that by the time I got around to ordering it was sold out. I have learned over the last 2 yrs that sometimes if you are slow to order full bottles of samples you like that you miss out.
  12. Great, another cubbie! Such an amazingly fun stadium to see a game!
  13. The LAM/BAMs are somewhat lighter in terms of cops right as compared to OCCO's? Where if an OCCO is 30 drops or so of cops per bottle, how much lighter are the LAM/ BAM in terms of a cop load? I love and have many of the OCCOs but haven't experimented much with the LAM/BAM, so trying to get a feel for the LAM/BAM and would appreciate any input or feelings from those who have played with both.
  14. Cubs!!! Favorite place to see a game too!
  15. My guess for June is summer scents. I too would love to see a month of old favorites, however with the timing of the year and seasons I bet we see a lot of great summer scents appearing in June. Mara, if they are still available can I also add on to my most recent order the following (I will also email): 3 BPanthers 2 Levitations
  16. I love this! I had purchased this one a year ago, thought it smelled nice in the bottle but got distracted by other LPs. I returned to this one this spring and have almost worked my way through a bottle in a few months. I get PUMPKIN on this one!!! With a tinge of creamy lavender. It is a phenomenal sleepy time scent! Very yummy. I have also found it is true to its name when lightly rolled before bed over my and SO's pillows.
  17. This is one of my favorites. It is a super relaxing scent. I work heavy hours in a pretty intense profession and combine that with having a toddler suddenly in my late 30's = stress. I therefore have many of LPs phero and fragrances aimed at relaxation Out of all the ones I have, this is my go to TOP choice for stress/trying to unwind. I also have the UN version, however, I reach for the fragranced version even more! This is one where the fragrance's intent truly sings and enhances the phero. I get light mossy/woody lavender from this with a tinge of light amber for depth. I purchased as a me scent, however, interestingly I also always get people complimenting me and asking what I am wearing when I put this on.
  18. As others have said this is a very girly pretty scent! It also pairs beautifully with OCCO pink and my favorite way to wear both is to pair them. This was also a mind opener for me---- I traditionally haven't liked pure fruit scents or straight sugar scents, however this is so well balanced and such a light airy pinky scent that it works and I really enjoy it. I don't get just sugar or just Cotten candy; rather on me this is a well rounded blend of fruit/ airy pinkness/ light sugar. I frequently find myself reaching for this on weekend mornings. It is a great way to start the day and especially paired with OCCO pink a nice girl next door friendly sexy vibe.
  19. Thanks, all! I love how within LP there are so many sub fragrance niches. I have always loved amber and lighter resins along with sandalwood scents so have really enjoyed many of the LAM/BAMs and message in a bottle. I also love LP's relaxing/sleepy scents such as upstairs/downstairs and heart's ease. I work a lot of hours in a pretty intense profession so have found the relaxing/ sleepy time scents invaluable!
  20. This is an amazing melt. Don't have time to go to the spa? Or having a tense or stressful day? Pop one of these in and be swept away by the relaxing aroma. It is a very fresh scent. It feels very airy and light. It is a truly luxe and spa like. It is also very gender neutral. The whole house enjoys (and relaxes) when we burn this.
  21. Hello, I have been purchasing LP's for about a year and a half but never really connected much with the forum in the past (new mother + work schedule). As my collection has expanded and my baby has become a toddler ...allowing some more me time ....I have found that having the time to search the forum has been wonderful--it has especially been very helpful to use all of your ladies' phenomenal reviews to target additional purchases. I can't tell you how helpful the reviews are in targeting items to expand my collection! Many thanks to everyone that has spent so much time over so many years providing reviews. It is really key to someone like me who had a base LP collection of things I know I like and have slowly purchased over time, but am now trying to expand my collection and the expand the directions of my scents. LP is wonderful for realizing different types of scents that you like, but would never realize it before. I can't tell you how helpful the reviews are in targeting items to expand my collection! Thanks!
  22. I have tried H&S with several fragrances, but this has become my favorite mix. It truly seems a congruent blend. This is another one where upon first application I wasnt sure about as I mainly got lighter florals, however after just a few short minutes the peppercorn and the deeper roses emerged. This has become a top pick for me. A beautiful fragrance with the combination of the bite of the pepper with succulent heart of a deep rose, and then mixed with H&S really helps with stress and encourages positive interactions with others. This is another I have gotten many compliments from.
  23. This has been a great phero for me. It has been very well rounded in terms of useage and fits in great in social settings w/male and female friends as well as in work/client settings. I have had great results in terms of bonding/everyone really getting along and enjoying each other's company in small social settings. I have also had great results using this in more work type settings (particularly with other women). Above all, I have found this really great for self effects. During stressful days this helps improve my mood/optimism and really helps with stress for me. I ordered this on a whim, but it has surprised me and become one of the most used pheros in my aresenol.
  24. This is a very artisan and unique fragrance. Interestingly enough, the first time I tried it I wasn't sure it was for me---in the vial, and upon initially applying, all I got was pure cinnamon. I am not a foody or gourmand frangrance type so I initally thought it probably just wasnt the best match for me. However, I later tried it again and left it on for a longer period of time and after about 20 minutes it developed into a beautifully complex and original fragrance--the resins came out and balanced with the spice and it was a very beautiful fragrance. On me I don't get a lot of vanilla, more a complex spice and resin blend that is very multi-layered and beautiful. This has become one of my favorites, and made me remember that how someting smells in the bottle or even upon first application isnt the true test. I am glad I gave this another shot and this has become a favorite and something I have received multiple compliments on.
