Lumine d'Terra

[Beccah]

Our beloved Le Wizard - LPMP’s resident Nature Boy - requested a unisex scent which is earthy yet bright to invoke the new beginnings of Spring, and we’ve delivered with a perfectly luminous take on the classic combination of resin and citrus. Deep dusky notes of Indonesian patchouli resin, Indian amber attar, vetiver and cedar EO are lightened and brightened with a healthy sunny squeeze of clementine and neroli EOs, budding leaf accord and a splash of bourbon vanilla.

Magickal Meanings of Ingredients:
NEROLI ~ Sensuality, love, relieves tension & anxiety; quells apprehension, encourages a shy lover, confidence building.
CEDAR ~ Confidence inducing, balancing, grounding, energizing, money, healing, protection, purification.
PATCHOULI ~ Soothes and uplifts; sensual, sexually stimulating, lust, fertility, money. Meditative and transforming.
AMBER ~ Fertility, creativity, love, luck, riches.
VANILLA ~ Aphrodisiac, inspires happiness, playfulness, sexual arousal, lust, vitalizing.
VETIVER ~ Enhances perception of beauty. Love, sensuality, money, luck, hex-breaking.

Oh this is sooooooo nice!  Resin lovers, this is what you will like!  I'm reminded of Blessings Oil simply because it's also such a beautiful blending of woods/resins which is rich and deep without being too overwhelming.  And the citrus notes are more on the tart/sour side, but I don't mean "sour" in a negative way, just that it's not a sweet citrus accent.  It's definitely a lighter take on this type of scent and yet it's pretty robust - enough for guys to wear, definitely.  It's one of those anytime scents because it's upbeat enough for daytime, but sexy enough for nighttime.  The citrus does fade but there's a thread of it which remains even through the long drydown.

I'm always scared of scents that say "earthy" LOL. I don't know why. 

This is gorgeous. Spicy, resiny - but in a clean way. It's not overwhelming or anything. A man could certainly wear it, and he would smell like a freshly washed sexy man. But I plan on wearing it too, and I smell like a sexy confident woman. I see a bottle on my future ?

This is like a tangy take on concentrated sunshine.  On me it is intense.  I think it would smell very nice on a man or on those who are able to carry off powerful and distinctive scents.

Okay, so I hesitantly gave this one to my man a long time ago because I don't enjoy "earthy" or "green," and the "budding leaf accord" sound like a big fat "No thank you!" to me. He also tends to amp cedar, Year One on him and Year One on me are two completely different animals. But I came home today and he smelled GOOD. Like really good. Of course it's this one that I thought I wouldn't like. This is no reflection on how I feel about you, @Le Wizard! It's how I feel about green things. 

Anywho, I wasn't here for the drydown, BF said it smelled a little like River and Rain, plus lawn clippings. But it dried down so gorgeous! We need this.

 

UPDATE: The cedar is so mellow in this, same with the patchouli. The neroli is nice and bright and almost comes off as fruity. I'm so glad I got a FB of this lovely scent for him.

 

ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER UPDATE: My man wore this today, and it's only gotten better with age. If it's in your arsenal, bust it out! I ended up getting him a back up bottle sometime this past year because I've really grown to love it. And like @halo0073, when I look at the notes and knowing how my man amps certain things, I am always surprised at how much I love it's warmth and depth.
