Guest cutie.pie Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Update: smelling the 2014 and 2015 of Ambrosia side by side just in the vial, I'm picking up more vanilla in the 2014 batch and more marachno cherry + patchouli in the 2015 batch. Which is ok by me !!! I was curious about this!! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Cat Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 My first impression in store: The men's scents are amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! H2OOOO was the first one I smelled as I was curious as to the hedione and I just swooned. I am not exaggerating. I lay down on the little couch in the store and the LPMP team seemed to find that very amusing while I was sniffing my wrists. I tried the female version MOIST next but my nose wouldn't cooperate at that point anymore. Hubby agrees that H2OOO and Garden in the Rain are awesome and he would wear them for me. (He's going to have to battle me for them !!!) I have the sampler next to me and will take my time over the enxt few days getting to know everything. Update: smelling the 2014 and 2015 of Ambrosia side by side just in the vial, I'm picking up more vanilla in the 2014 batch and more marachno cherry + patchouli in the 2015 batch. Which is ok by me !!! Oooh, thanks so much for this, androstenol! These are the ones I've most eager to try!! It is also so lovely to have a forumite on the ground and bringing back reports!

Guest cutie.pie Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Is maybe Summer Crush similar to Fraise Citron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirenSong Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Lucky, androstenol! Thanks for the first-hand reports. Oh, god, why didn't I just buy a full bottle set? Just curious, has anyone else been worried that things will sell out faster now that customers can walk into an actual store? I've been afraid to ask and wondering if Mara is making a little bit extra now. Or will the competition be even more fierce to get the popular ones. Anyone else feel this way? I've always had a big problem with limited edition anything and getting it before it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Is maybe Summer Crush similar to Fraise Citron? It's not a bakery scent, though, so I'm assuming they're not too much alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderlust Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) I keep reading through the notes for these new releases. I am about to drive to Oregon just to try them..and meet the crew..and see the shop. Honestly, I am overly excited about these. What a wonderful agony, this sense of "antici....pation." (You just heard Dr. Frank n Furter in your heads, didn't you? That was undoubtedly followed, for all us oldsters, by hard-hitting drums and Carly Simon. Am I right?)

Potion Master Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Just want to give an update on the PEs, as I had said I would try to get them up by today. Big surprise, there were a bunch more orders than I had realized so I am a tad behind. I've got most of them done, but it looks like I won't get everything up until tomorrow. Thanks for your patience and understanding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlust Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) No worries, lovey! Enjoy yourself this evening. Have some wine. Eat some chocolate. Say the hell with it for the night.

Cherise Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Aww Androstenol what a nice post you wrote, I came here looking for more info on PE's and read your store experiences. Will be looking forward to your new release reviews in the future since you'll most likely be one of the first to have access to them..lucky!

Black Cat Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I already have a ginormous order in the works and I was pretty sure I would want at least a couple of other PEs, so I am waiting to order the sampler with those and have the whole shebang come together in one overwhelming festival of awesomeness.

But then the labels go up & I realize I'm only BS-Ing myself. Oh well, we may all be on an episode of "HOARDERS: the LP EDITION" soon but the film crew will be delighted to spend all day in the midst of such olfactory nirvana.

Yes, but wouldn't you want to totally hide the precious? I'd fear they'd take them (for their own use as they would not be thrown away). I'd super hide them - if that's even a thing.

johnsonlisa90012 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I am so ashamed. I pulled up my paypal account and realized that in 2 months, I spent more than my mortgage payment on perfumes. I got so out of hand with that tax refund!!! I've put in my PE order and my NR order and next month, I will be limited to a total of $100. Or should I make that $1,000. Or maybe I should just sell the house and use the proceeds on perfume. So many decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose Blackthorn Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I fear that we perfume addicts give a whole new meaning to "nose candy." Aroma crack!! Rehab???! I say no, no, noooo! If there's a cure for this, I don't want it. Hooked on a feeling, etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
