Artemis Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) I keep checking every time I take a break at work or go pee. 🤭 which makes no sense because I can't afford to buy anything until later in the month anyway 🤣 Edited October 11, 2022 by Artemis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eve Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Me too! It’s only 9pm here, but I’ve been up since a little after 3 this morning. I’m dying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayla Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Yeah, I'm giving up and going to bed. I have to be up at 5AM. Hopefully, there will be a surprise in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eve Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 One last best guess before I turn in for the night. Could Red Rum have something to do with blood? There was a Blud in an autumn release a couple of years back (I didn’t try it tho). Blood is red… Red Rum is murder spelled backwards. Good night all 🛌 💤 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citrine Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) Pumpkin Dulce sounds amazing! ETA: Would Pumpkin Dulce be similar to Lantern? But there's no amber and cinnamon... Edited October 11, 2022 by citrine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 THE NEW RELEASES ARE UP AND ORDERABLE! Woohooo! Thank you for your patience! As always, please let me know if you find any errors, I appreciate the assist! A note about this collection: What started as a fanciful idea between Israel and myself became a true collaboration of friends, and this set would not be around without the contribution of all of those credited on this set. I want to thank Israel, one of my best friends on Earth, for facilitating this collection while I was down with The Plague last month, as well as translation assistance and aroma testing and approval while my nose was in dubious condition. Brenda contributed a multitude of recipes and ingredient suggestions based upon the holiday and other beloved Mexican traditions. Sacha also contributed recipes and ingredient ideas, and spent hours educating me about Dia de los Muertos, as well as helping to properly entitle the blends in Spanish - which was tricky, because some of them differ between Mexico and Puerto Rico! And last but certainly not least, our amazing Julie, who combined multiple voices in two languages into one cohesive masterpiece of a collection. We hope you love this set as much as we do. Enjoy! And here is your Cheat Sheet for the month!: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KinN5_S2VP-TFR1o67adQvYHixG165nFvRuDIEp5kgM/edit?usp=sharing Thank you! Good night!

Artemis Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Omg the sampler was too good to pass up. I treated myself and it was so irresponsible. But I'm so excited to try these!!! There isn't a single one that doesn't sound amazing. ❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eve Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) ( Sitting back waiting for my shipping notice!!!!! ) Thank you Mara! I took a chance and ordered the sampler. There were too many that were “maybes” to just get a handful, which is what I fully intended to do. @citrine in the description notes it compares Pumpkin Dulce to Garland and Lace.

greenappletart Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I was so excited to see them up! Loving the cheat sheets we've been getting. So helpful!

Eve Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 @luna65 that’s one of the main reasons I felt compelled to go with the sampler. Sometimes dragons blood is good on me, and sometimes it’s not… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 Dragon's Blood: Different harvests can smell different ways. IMO, it's supposed to smell like rich dark resin/sap. Some of them can smell a touch spicy. I have noted that low quality examples can smell like cherry or cherry bubblegum. I tend to use the types that smell lavish and rich, and I pass along ones that are not up to my standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 Personal obsession of the moment: I have been wearing Earth & Urn every day. It smells amazing on me and lasts and lasts all day into night. One day I inadvertently layered it with one of the LP Autumns of yore, and that was fabulous too, so I recommend some experimentation with it if you desire to sweeten it up.

greenappletart Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I've realized Remembrance sounds kind of like Marigold & Amaranth, which I loooooooooove. Love, love love! Love! (I'm a little bit allergic to chamomile, but I'm going to try it anyway to see if it's a level I can deal with. Sometimes I can and will wear them! I'm reminded of a friend I once had who was allergic to chocolate, but would sometimes eat it anyways because it was worth it. That's how I am with lpmps. Sometimes, it is worth it!)

Wanderlust Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Good afternoon, Potion Master. 😘 Firstly, these are truly lovely, both in respectful representation, and in olfactory appeal. I absolutely am ordering a sample of Earth and Urn and Sugared Skulls. I sometimes amp amber/resin/Copal. I noticed you mentioned sweetening Earth and Urn. Any suggestions for sweetening if my skin betrays me, or, should I ask you once I have received, rested, and tried the scents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would pair well with any of the Autumnal dry leafy blends, or indeed LP Original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
