  1. BUMP! I only have one bottle and a half left in my stash of this. Been using it sparingly to make it last - still love it as much as when I first came cross it. Will miss it SOOO much when I finally have to say farewell...
  2. THIS is EXACTLY how it makes me feel when I'm wearing it!
  3. WOW! This is super spicy and chewy. Not sure why, but LP patchouli comes across as chewy to me. This is thick and spicy rich and chewy. Dark and heady. Mmmm... I can only wear the barest smidgen or it's too much - oh, but that glorious smidgen is dreamy! I don't normally wear resin scents but I'm going to have to keep a sample of this on hand for when I do. As AzuraGrace said, "I find it strangely addictive."
  4. Yes! I agree, it does have a similar "something" to Allumette - still loving that one... I'm also still loving this one, but unlike the last time I wore it, Mr Right declared a dislike for something in this fragrance!? I described what I was smelling and his description was nothing like it White and Egyptian musk tend to go after my third eye, I wonder if the red musk is pricking his? Or maybe the fermented alcohols? Something is causing a headache for him Oh my! This just smells SOOOOOO good to me. I HAVE to get a FB, I'll just have to wear it for myself in his absence ^_~
  5. THIS! THIS! A pumpkin with no cinnamon for me to amp! And yet when I very first put it on, while still wet, I swear I smelled spice This is wearing very light on me, or my skin just ate it up? The pumpkin was very forward at first, but with the honey, vanilla and marshmallow it reminds me of a yummy pumpkin fluff a friend of mine makes. I can't pick out the Aja (probably lumping it in with the sweets of the honey and vanilla...) after about 15-20 minutes I could distinguish the apricot and amber and could only pick up the pumpkin if I huffed my application point Next time I will have to slather to get a really good shnoffle of it. I'm on the fence because my skin seemed to gobble it up so quickly - but WOW is this good!
  6. OHMYGOOOOOOODNESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! This, to me, is like those REALLY fantastic, costly and delicious, liquor filled, decadent dark chocolate covered cherries - only it's not cherry. But even though the note isn't cherry - that is distinctly what comes to mind. The liquid filled kind - not that sticky sweet, milky white sugary filled stuff they sell as chocolate covered cherries on regular store shelves - the REAL thing! This is a fragrance that I would rather have in the oil warmer - smelling up the whole house with gourmand goodness! Plus, with the Teddy BB being one of my favorite phero blends, the happy atmosphere it creates would be more than welcome

    Just Desserts

    Wow! There's that familiar cherry association with almond for sure! Then after about 5 minutes there's something that smells, hmm, waxy? Is that what some of you mean when you say something "goes plastic-y"? This is a first for me. I love the butter/cream/sugar, like a delicious tart of some sort - or sugar cookie. I can't really pick out the cedar but the amber I think is reading "chewy" to my brain. Very yum
  8. Sorry Potion Master It probably would be for me too, sans the fig
  9. For me, it is too green. I couldn't get past the fig to really enjoy the whole
  10. I wasn't sure what I would think of this one. Red musk is a new one for me. I got the sugared red musk and really like it and wondered what direction it would take things. This comes across as a resin-y, smokey delight on my skin. Not foody really, but a dry dusky, smokey, warmth. When I put my nose right up to my skin I get the prick of the musk, but otherwise this is a soft skin scent. I've always liked the boozy notes, lol, but I don't smell like a lush in this I'm particularly loving the smoke and resin-like flavor it's creating with my chemistry. I can't pick out most of the individual notes. Faulty sniffer? This is so well blended, what I get is this comforting, warm smoked goodness. This is ģoing to need to be a FB me thinks... Wore this with Mr Right last night and while he never mentioned the fragrance, things were VERY intimate. Nice combo with TMI
  11. D'Oh! Should've known to look in the men's reviews! Thank you Luna
  12. I can't find the thread for Indiscretion...where is it hiding? Anyone? Thanks
  13. Oh my! I would really REALLY like this with the exception of the fig. Fig reads "green" to me, so instead of sweet ripe fig, while it IS sweet, my brain is saying, "Green! This isn't right..." But I DO love the vanilla/maple/milk/butter/cream....drool worthy
  14. This one starts out like cookies! Oatmeal-like and delicious, reminiscent in a way to Scotchies. Then my body started amping the allspice and refused to let up (that sometimes happens with cinnamon ) I'll have to set this aside and see if my chemistry is kinder on another day...
  15. This starts very floral for me, too floral at first. Fortunately, for my tastes, it settles down in about 10 minutes and becomes, to my nose, almost an aquatic fragrance. Strange, I know, but that's what it did. I could put it under the bamboo, air/ozone, teakwood and cucumber Maybe? I can still read the floral but I like the aquatic feel, and there's a sweetness that really compliments the whole. I'm not reading peppermint or fennel at all. It actually winds up wearing quite light and isn't loud. It's not something I would choose for myself, but it's very nice
  16. Welcome Mlee! Hehe, I'm afraid that is the statement of MANY who have come here...whimpering wallets and credit cards cry to no avail. The perfumerie's magic is too great
  17. I'm SO glad I saw that this thread got bumped before I made my last order! I had meant to order this much sooner, but things have been slipping my mind of late (feeding, burping and diaper changing have been preoccupying most of my thoughts and time! ) Orchid has recently become a new favorite - there are so few floral fragrances that I gravitate to - my last being the Fairy Cake fragrance. I love my foodies fragrances, but sometimes I need something more "grown-up" (although, I'm not sure that Lace necessarily = grown-up!) and a nice floral can fit the bill. I still have my sample as I hadn't worn much in the way of pheros during my pregnancy except to check out a fragrance - and even then it was just a smidge because of the Lace. Mr. New/Right really liked it as well, so double win!
  18. I don't want to jinx myself or anything - but has something changed with ordering and shipping? I've had my last 2 orders processed and shipped at lightening speed. Not a complaint! I've just gotten used to a leisurely pace of about (but not quite) 2 weeks from order to delivery. Is there a new system in place? Just curious really Anyone?
  19. Got October's sampler and another FB of Sticky! and a FB of Ivory Cats: Tantalize w/Lace I wanted everything for October! Or at least I thought I might. I couldn't decide so went with the sampler - what a delicious looking month!
  20. I swear I need to pay better attention here! I didn't expect another month of new releases, lol. What a great reason to order another bottle of Sticky and Ivory cats Tantalize and some of these new delectables! ETA: OHMYGOSH! After looking at everything I couldn't decide and just went with the sampler...I have a feeling this month will cause my wallet to whimper

    Sticky!

    This is REALLY yummy. The more I wear it the more I love it. May need a back up bottle of this one...

    Sticky!

    I think I had nose confusion when I first put it on because I just didn't read the notes that are here. My brain was confused. I think it's whatever is "smoked and berry sugars". There's something initially sweet (berries?) but not quite right (smoked?). Not that it's wrong so much as I have never smelled smoked berries - I'm not sure I've smelled smoked sugar either. I DO however like smoke in LOTS of LPs so I waited this one out. I could pick out the sandalwood once I let myself move past the intense investigation of the smoke notes I didn't get the cotton candy but over dry down SOMEHOW it DID become caramel corn! It's very light on me, close to the skin. I'm going to wear it again tomorrow just because the initial fragrance is SO fascinating and I want to explore it again

    Distant Calliope

    Thank you Luna Oh My! First on this is all cocoa powdery goodness. My nose was toying with me, as I thought I was getting a hint of cinnamon, but that isn't even a note The next notes to come forward to my nose were the earthy sandalwood and myrrh. I was going to say that I didn't pick out the honey - but sometimes honey reads powdery to my nose, and there is definitely a powder feel that I was going to leave at the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, but maybe I should include a sweet powdery honey too? Kind of the way the honey in LAM!/BAM! original reads powdery to me? The feel of the fragrance is "mellow" to me. Soft, close to the skin (for me at least) and calm. Actually it WOULD be great for an overcast day. There's something warming about it that fits the falling leaves and evening chill...
  24. Wow! First on, this was super fruit juicy, creamy sweetness! I'm thinking the lemon gives it the brightness that I'm associating with the sweet that is making me think of something sweet with a hint of tart - which only makes the sweetness MORE fruit sugary It HAS to be the vanilla giving it that creamy vibe? I'm not really getting cotton candy so much as a berry, sugary sweetness. THAT is NOT a complaint! Eventually it gives way to the familiar Love Potion base and fades into the softest sugar finale. Going FB unsniffed was certainly NOT a mistake. Mmmmmmm ETA: I just re-remembered that this has Audacious in it. What a fun pairing! Perfect for easing back into phero use on Mr .Right after baby is put to bed for the night... ^_~

    Distant Calliope

    Cocoa Honey was a surprise swoon for me, so I went ahead and ordered 2 bottles of Distant Calliope unsniffed at the very idea of a darker, delicious sister scent The notes are all winners, I didn't think I'd be such a fan of a wood note, but sandalwood - and many other wood notes - have been some real favorites in several other LP delectables. Luna ~ what is giving it the powdery feel for you? Is it the Myrrh or the sugar/cocoa? (if either, lol)
