Wanderlust Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Well, here I go asking questions. I am eyeing both Lantern and Hemwicke. Intrigued by both, no, salivating over both. I tend to amp both amber and sandalwood, to the point of those devouring everything else in the perfume. Anyone who works at LPMP have this issue? I am nearly out of all the pumpkin scents I've purchased in the past, so I could use some guidance. I will order samples, but would love full bottles of at least one of these as well-and, uh-a few others. Cassia, Holliday, and Infusion, I'm looking at you!👀👀👀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I think everyone in the community has that issue with some particular note or notes. It's all about skin chemistry in the end. In terms of Lantern and Hemwicke - Lantern is a gourmand pumpkin scent, so it will be sweet. The amber is the base, but it should blend in with all the other notes and not detract from the overall gourmand vibe. Hemwicke is darker, so it's going to be woody-spicy kind of pumpkin. It's possible that it might be rather sandalwood-heavy on you, so you might want to sample it first to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eve Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I’m happy to hear Lantern is a gourmand pumpkin. I hoped it was! My sampler is on its way. I’m really looking forward to this collection 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlust Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Thanks, Luna. Sample of Hemwicke (which keeps correcting to Heimlich 🤣), and fb of Lantern, to be sure.

luna65 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 My sampler pack arrived yesterday so I'm attempting to let it rest a full day, but I thought I'd give a high-level initial impression since I haven't done that in quite a while for a collection. Ambre Fox: I get woody-saffron, which I quite like. BeeWitched: OMFG this is so gorgeous!!! Bonflower of Autumn: just like it says, smoky Autumn floral. Definitely in the spirit of the original. Cassia: Buttery toasty goodness, mmmmm! Creme Cake: anyone who loves Mara's bakery-type creations will likely go ga-ga for this one too. Yummy! Ghost Dust: the tanginess of the fig is on the top, underscored by the resins and musk. Really nice. Heartwood: I get pine forest, primarily. Hemwicke: another favorite for me, spicy pumpkin and Autumn woods, so good! Holliday: primarily sage-y for me, I think this will be the favorite for the guys. Infusion 2021: everything you love about the original, but maybe just slightly more tart. Lantern: the butterscotch/bakery-style pumpkin combo is totally delicious. Mourning Glory: THAT ROASTED COFFEE BEAN THO - the combo of the coffee bean impression and the incense, aaahh it's amazing! Rite: definitely lemony resin and it's quite nice and clean - I think dudes will really like this one too. Sweet Leaf: very much original SUPER with a boozy cast, it's quite intriguing and potent. Woodland Creatures: very realistic wet Autumnal woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citrine Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Wow, thank you for this @luna65! You helped me decide what I want. One question: which would be more "yummy cinnamon", Buns of Cinn or Cassia? Would Lantern be similar to Cauldron cake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I'm not really getting the cinnamon in Cassia but that's not to say it's not there - it will probably come out more on my skin. I guess it depends on what you'd prefer: cinnamon toast or cinnamon buns. Lantern is much sweeter than Cauldron Cake, based on my original impression of the latter.

I'm hoping my sampler gets in before I have to finalize my sale order and now I know which scents to focus on for a quick skin test. Really looking forward to trying Ghost Dust, Mourning Glory, and Sweet Leaf. And Infusion, of course, since I love anything "red" and tart, but I already have 2 bottles of the last brew, so may have to wait on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potion Master Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 FYI: Cassia bark EO has a little more of a woody impression, spicy bark, rather than a sweet sugary cinnamon impression. Both are in the Cassia perfume, but it will not be as sweet as Buns of Cinn. re: Heartwood. The Stag from last Oct was really a true pine forest impression. This year's Heartwood also stars pine, but there is a ton of dry vanilla in it as well as other more perfumey ingredients, so in my view it's more of polished perfume, whereas The Stag was immersion in nature.

luna65 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Yeah, like I said, these are first impressions - so of course the experience on my skin is going to be something much more evolved. I imagine the vanilla is going to come out quite a bit for me with Heartwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeWitched: OMFG this is so gorgeous!!! What Luna said! Wet when first applied I’d swear there was civet in it, but that impression did not last more than a minute or two. Those of you who are not fans of civet needn’t worry. I could not wait to open my sampler once it arrived. (It was almost mis-delivered too, but I intercepted the mail person). I know I should wait until it’s had a chance to settle after its journey all the way to the east coast, but I was too impatient. There are so MANY beautiful scents! Wow!!! I love Lantern too. Those are both full bottles for me, and multiple ones at that. Cassia is another I like. I need to make sure the maple in it doesn’t amp (I think maple is listed as a note?). I like that it’s not too sweet. I agree it’s cinnamon toast, not a cinnamon roll. Nose going from wrists (Beewitched) then huffing cleavage (Lantern). I’m a happy girl right now. The unisex ones, even though listed as new releases in the men’s section are not too masculine. I might get a full bottle of Mourning Glory. The coffee note comes out on top, and I enjoy that. I’m so distracted right now, I have go read all the notes again, now that I have them here to sniff 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
