Beccah Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) Cananga odorata - also known as ylang-ylang - has been referred to as the Queen of the Perfume World and we’re paying tribute to its’ use in the world’s most iconic perfumes with a creamy floral which is certain to become your ultimate summer signature scent! A decadent and delicious blending of cocoa butter, ylang-ylang EO and coconut cream with a softly sheer base of myrrh and white and golden ambers, plus the added sweet sexiness of AJA, our copulin analog derived from a natural plant hormone which, when concentrated, gives off a honey-like scent which is incredibly evocative of sexual arousal. Fans of our Private Edition fragrances Lisa’s Creamy Ylang and Lady Victoria’s Sweet Little Pussycat won’t want to miss out on this fabulous scent! Label Artwork Courtesy of Callie L.

Invidiana Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Of course I had to get this because COCONUT, and I'm a huge fan of Creamy Ylang and Sweet Little Pussycat so I knew this would be a hit - and it is. It's delicious creamy coconut and cocoa butter that dries down to reveal that heady, exotic ylang ylang that blends in smoothly with that creaminess and gives it a heightened sensuality that is deepened by the amber and myrrh as it dries down further. The resins deepen the scent but this is definitely coconut, cocoa and ylang ylang sorcery. I'm in love with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsonlisa90012 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Invi- how are the Creamy ylang and CCC different to you? Deciding how many to buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StacyK Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 On my skin this is coconut forward. A little meaty. The Ylang is right behind the coconut. The cocoa butter is far in the background. I dont get much "coconut cream" which, along with the musk are my favorite elements of the original Sweet Pussy. Coconut, ylang lovers will like this as a summer scent. I'll be back later to report on the longer dry down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I agree with halo about the cocoa butter - the combination of the cocoa butter and the Aja is making me think of Angelique/Odalisque, and this reminds me somewhat of Tsunonme as well, actually. Not so much of either of its' inspirations. It's a great combination, though, always - it's just not exactly what I expected it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastwood22 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I'm waiting for it to settle a little more, it was the first one I opened and it was mostly cocoa butter, and then I fell asleep within 10 or 15 minutes so I decided to wait a whole week before investigating again.

Tons of coconut, ylang, a bit of the butter & Aja. No myrrh tho I am glad I got another Lisa's. As Luna noted you really can't go wrong with any and all of these notes in some combo. I am not sure what I was looking for. Less coconut more coco butter and cream I guess. I will try again. I think I have a large back log of LP beachy scents to get through the next few years. Coconut scents have poking at me a bit lately. Maybe I have coconut burn out? Edited June 13, 2018 by StacyK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlisa90012 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Stacy, same for me. This is coconut forward then cocoa butter. The cocoa butter is sweeter like Odalisque. This latest version of Creamy Ylang has a different cocoa butter than the previous version—more of the roasted/toasted in Dancing with Desire. To me, Creamy is like a dark roast coffee vs. this is a blonde roast, if that makes any sense. I like both but I also have a lot of coconut scents and I’m not getting the myrrh much right now. So ylang to ylang is similar, the cocoa butter is deeper on Creamy Ylang, and the coconut is more forward on Canaga. Ergo, I get to buy both Ylang and Canaga with no guilt.

Bella15 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I am super into beachy scents right now. This totally fits the bill! I get mostly cocoa butter. If I search, I can pick out the ylang. The amber and myrrh are soft. This is the perfect scent for a sexy summer evening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lainey Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I think the name in the title is spelled wrong...makes it a bit tricky to find in search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beccah Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 It is not misspelled, read the ingredients Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 It is misspelled on the label unfortunately. I mentioned this in the NR thread at the time. I didn't catch my error until everything was already labelled. Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lainey Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I just saw the posts about the spelling. I didn't know cananga was another name for ylang ylang! How do you pronounce ylang ylang, anyway? Lang lang? Eee-lang eee-lang? Would it be possible to maybe add the way it's spelled on the label so that it can be found in search more easily? If not, that's cool...just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 If you spell it the way it is on the label, the first search result is still this actual review thread, so that's not an issue as far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelic Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I have a question. I got a sample of this with my last order. I love making my own whipped body butter with shea butter, cocoa butter, and coconut oil along with essential oils. Visions of putting this into a batch have been dancing in my head. Is it a bad idea, or would it work out okay? Is it okay to have pheromones smeared all over me like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 It's just AJA, so it's not like it's going to be a complex message that you're broadcasting, necessarily. It would be akin to using copulin-enhanced body cream, which is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelic Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Great! Thank you so much for the reply. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelic Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I still haven't gotten around to making it! I also have a sample of caramel musk, and I suddenly wondered how that would go with it all. But I'm going to refrain. Can't wait to make my yummy, chocolatey body butter! 🍫 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
androstenol Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 You know that feeling when you find a full bottle you didn't remember getting ? Ohhhboy well my FB is two years old now, I found it behind my perfume organizer (ok truth time - ONE of my perfume organizers). I'm getting soooo much chocolate from this. I smelled to me so much like Occo Choco that I had to compare the ongredients. I suppose the scent intention of Aja is similar to copulins. I may just go crazy later and combine the two. Hubby doesn't like chocolate perfumes but I adore them so that's just fine I'm not getting much coconut or ylang ylang but the bottle was never opened. A truly sinful, delectable indulgence. Purr-worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't isolated chocolate as the culprit, but maybe that's the link between a few perfumes that I love and he says, "It's not my favorite," or "You have others that I like better." Not that he's adverse, just a few that he's not drawn to that have me wondering. I definitely know the notes he recoils from! I'll pay more attention, thanks for the tip!

dolphindolls2 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I just got this one in the recent sale and I love wearing this for bed or if I need a cuddle scent....The cocoa butter is very pronounced on me, but after about 2 hours it dies down a bit and the amber and ylang ylang take center stage....This is a real comfort scent and I love wearing it when I'm not going out and just want to lounge around the house on a lazy Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastwood22 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Wearing this today, it's twisting my arm and forcing me to eat chocolate, specifically the semi-sweet chocolate morsels hidden in the freezer. Stop bullying me, CCCA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vika Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I really like this one but I'm scared to wear it to work because it's gotten very strong reactions in the past especially when combined with Gotcha. Lol It's very chocolatey and sensual. I love Aja in general and wear that to work sometimes but this is a whole nother level of sexy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vika Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I tested this out again tonight and it smelled silky in a lindt commercial way but sexier when the ylang ylang came out and the dry down was incredible. The reaction was wonderful too. This stuff is perfect for summer sexiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
androstenol Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 @Vika, it sounds like you're developing a liking for the summer bombs of copulins and Aja like I did when Mara first introduced us to Aja. There is something just so sexy about it ! And nice to meet you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vika Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 @androstenol Nice to meet you too! I like mixing Aja too with the other honey scents. It's perfect for adding a little something extra. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphindolls2 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I really love this one, I wore it a few days ago when I went out to meet some colleagues after work and everyone complimented me on this scent, now that its aged, the chocolate in this is divine and melds so beautifully with the other notes... Now that its aged the amber in this is so good.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
