HIDDEN GEMS IN THE SALE!

[Potion Master]

Seems we were all missing the old thread, and no one could find it, not even meow! So here is a new one!

 

Have fun and post away!

 

I will start it off - - - 

 

Goddess of the Blue Moon sells out every year, and people often ask for Virgin bottles of it.

Lily Pond is un-phero'd and very much in the same vein as Goddess of the Blue Moon.

 

If you like spicy sexy scents on your man, BLZ Bub has a similar appeal to Pashazade, which is one of our most popular men's fragrances.

 

If I am remembering it properly, Atlas is really smooth and quite wearable for women. If you're looking for a good phero enhanced money potion, (those usually sell out right away), you might consider grabbing a bottle of Atlas. Don't be afeared of the big strong dude on the label! If anyone has it on hand, report in!

I absolutely LOVE Poe de Creme, Gogo, and Vessel (only one bottle left). I also can't believe there are two of the OCCO Vanilla solids left - for 1 point each! I thought about getting them as freebies, but I ordered 10 or more of them when they came out and during the sale last year, so I'm stocked up for a while. Run and get them if you have a point to use! 😊

[greenappletart]

Yay! Thank you for recreating this. It is always one of my favorite threads. 

 

Long Beach Virgin - absolutely unisex enough for women to wear, a beachy scent in a more natural way

Theros - another one that can be unisex, it is so hard to describe but has a fresh quality to it

 

Ash - for when you want to smell like a campfire, but in a good way

Fancy Article - one of the few times I've gone "What is it that smells so good? Oh, it's me!" because it almost doesn't register as perfume to me

Lirial and Rubylicious - I know I mentioned them in the previous incarnation of this thread. They are both sweet and youthful, and just really delightful.

 

Catrina w/ Queen Bee and Aja - I don't even like carnation, and I like this one

Tipping the Velvet w/ G/G (or virgin) - sneaky sexy

 

Pumpkin Pink - a sweet, youthful, fun pumpkin and if it was a roll on instead of a spray, I'd already have, like, 5 bottles

Does Ash smell like smoke? 

[raydee8_love]

Gems: the solid Occo , Bower of Bliss - really lovely , Lily Pond beautiful and the PE’s something for everyone

Marshmallow smoke.

[RosesArePink]

My list is Platelet Punch, Vessel (seriously, how is there any of that left?), Mamelons de Cerise, Rubylicious,  and Pumpkin Pink. Also, Odalisque and BeeWitched.

 

Mostly haven't smelled too many of the men's, but I seem to remember Tonka Tobaccum being swoon worthy.

Gogo: I hype this one up every year, but that's because it's one of my fave summer nighttime scents! I love a good lavender sleep scent, but a lot of lavender scents are kind of heavy and more "cozy" (see: Liebchen, Jasmine's Warm and Cozy, etc.) Gogo has this cooling, silky quality, like silk pajamas on a summer night, with a night breeze blowing through the window. I gravitate to this one every summer and just can't recommend it enough. 

 

Tangy Ylang: I had written in the review thread:

This is a bright, lovely fruity floral. It's not as sour as the name might suggest, more of a sweet juicy grapefruit sprinkled with sugar and melded with with a lightly creamy ylang.  I can't imagine anyone not liking this - it's just so bright and happy. 

 

 

Mamelons de Cerise: sweet but tart, juicy cherry. Another happy fruity scent.

Now I want it and it's gone lol

 

 

I can't believe there are any Sogni Incantati left. This is so cozy vanilla scent, perfect for an evening in or bed.

[Vika]

Conjurer: if you love pumpkin spice it’s really good

Shadow Dragon: it’s a fruity dragons blood blend. 

Papi Chulo: a very smooth non sunscreen coconut scent that could be used year round.

 

The occo solid is great for easy cops application and less of a dry down time.

[Goddessinjapan]

Just got my order and I love everything I chose. 

 

Juju- almond coconut delight. I got mine made into a spray with Topper, and I imagine I'll go through it pretty fast.

 

Supra- my notes said, "Champagne cake batter"...that's exactly accurate. I got mine as a spray spiked with Levitation. Now I just have to get invited to parties.

 

Vessel- enticing oatmeal cookies. I got this in oil, added Gotcha. I envision fall-weather cuddling.

 

Coconut Custard- this is just awesome. If there’s any left, I'm going back for it. Possibly my favorite coconut ever. Smells like opening a can of coconut cream. I added Balm Bomb.

 

Theros- I hesitated because of the patchouli...glad I went for it. It's a sophisticated scent. I got it as a spray with Swimming With Sharks added...but then worried that it might be strong for work. Nope. It's going to be perfect. 

 

Ebil-ish- spicy vanilla, but lighter than I expected, intriguing. I got this boosted with LFM, new for me.

 

Hemwicke- deep smoky pumpkin. I got mine boosted with Leather, and I think that's a great match.

 

From last year's order- some great ones I see are on the list:

 

Tangy Ylang- a happy scent.

 

Ash- marshmallow smoke indeed. Like, if marshmallow came in smoke form, or smoke in marshmallow form.

 

Kahve- a very "dry" coffee.

 

Kukumo- Reminds me of cucumber seltzer. This is unexpected, refreshing, and fun.

 

Hazy Sage- this is an intriguing scent, less overtly herbal than I expected.

 

Gala di Champagne- smells like champagne without the booze!

 

Flamingo Pink- so light, so pretty. I was surprised at the staying power.

 

Hope this helps. I know I have more perfume than I can get through in a year, but I'll probably go back for another order. Short of flat-out donations, I can't think of a more uplifting way to spend money.

eeee, I'm so excited for this one now! I nabbed the other bottle.  Ordered it unsniffed because I figured that I love coconut and I love foodie scents, so what's not to like? After seeing your review, though, I don't think I'm going to be able to wait until post-travel shock to test it! LP has a lot of amazing coconut scents, so "favorite coconut ever" is high praise!!

[Goddessinjapan]

I've tried a lot. I used "Pie In The Sky" to scent my setting spray, but I like this even more.

I also used to wear the Demeter Coconut, but compared to LPMP the stuff just smells so alcohol-heavy with no staying power, so I quit bothering. I'm permanently spoiled.

[hedgehog]

So I got my order today and wanted to post some first impressions/last minute recs as well:

 

Black Panther: Damn! I wasn't sure about this one because fruity florals always seem to disappear on my skin, but was persuaded by @dolphindolls2 enduring love for it. I am used to happy, cute fruity florals. This is something else. There's that juicy plum but there's also something deep, dark and sexy af.  And it lasts! Something in here kind of reminds me of Columbia - maybe the combo of the fruit and amber? I literally put this on straight out of the mailing box, so I'd need to let it rest a bit to know how it morphs over time or projects. 

 

And there is only one bottle left in the sale!

 

Coconut Custard: Not sure if there is any of this remaining, but this is really, really good. Like this is gooey caramel and creamy coconut all swirled in a delicious pudding. Like I said, fresh out of the shipping box so I'm sure it's not exact, but delicious and really comforting. Like I want to smell this as I drift off to sleep on a cloud of coconut cream. 

 

Ebilish: Smelled really alcohol-y out of the vial, but not at all on the skin. Sweet, clean and spiced vanilla. That clean note is always what made Ebilish really unique to me - it's not foodie at all. Kind of reminds me of Weenie in that it has components of a foodie scent, and the notes sound like they would be foodie...but it's not! I'm not someone who loves super clean scents normally, but I really like this combo. 

 

Will post some more of the pheroed ones once I get a chance to test them.

[Vika]

I tore into everything right away. Lol

 

Pumpkin Lavender Donut PE: I wore this to bed the other night and woke up to the most delicious cake smell in the middle of the night. 
 

Black Panther: This is really good. It’s like a jammy resiny orchid scent. It makes me think of midnight rider but more seductive.

 

Rhapsodic Exotic PE: Is a really good sweet spicy amber fragrance. Kind of like sugared amber but better. 

I want to checkout the Keylime PE it sounds delicious as well. 

 

[hedgehog]

I really like that the sale was on all month this year. It's nice reading people's reactions and reviews to their orders, and hopefully it helped some people figure out their sales orders (or figure out if they needed to make a second order! 😄)

 

Sogni Incantati: 

Sogni Incantati is really nice! I was a little worried about the licorice - I am not a licorice lover. But the licorice doesn't come off like the candy, more of a herbal note on a bed of powdery marshmallows. It was comforting and I did drift off pretty quickly afterward.

I realllllyyyy enjoyed reading this thread too. It definitely helped me a ton to decide on what I wanted. I just got my package the other day, bur I've been so busy with work that I haven't had any time to try the scents. I will say that all the PEs I got I absolutely love: Punkpin Lavender Donut, Kayla's Ruby Goo and Black Panther. Also snagged a bottle of Odalisque. I almost took the whole bottle to bed with me LOL. This sale was just super fun for me. I bought way more than I had originally planned because of some of the reviews here. Just really appreciate all you lovely people! Can't wait to do this again. 

[dolphindolls2]

@hedgehog, once Black Panther rests and ages, it's a very versatile scent, from the office, to evening events, this one has been my go to for years.

[RosesArePink]

Oh my goodness! How could I forget Pumpkin Donut Lavender PE and Blanco Crema! And Gogo!

100% atlas is spectacular for women! it is my #1 magic potion for work- it eliminates probably 95% of the sexual harrassment i'd been encountering (i work in a medical setting) and i prefer it in the spray, even though i'm typically very close with my patients- i find it sets the stage when i first meet them

[Mila]

If you like fruity like me, the ones below are very nice

Fancy Article - fresh pineapple. Not as sweet as Sunshine Sweetie so it’s not redundant if you have the latter one. Sage is not strong there

Mount pleasant - sweet juicy mango and coconut water

Reliquary - apple with warm caramel sauce

Kayla’s Ruby Goo - fresh sweet apple

[Amanda]

I feel like I think about Rodnoy almost daily, and I finally got a bottle in the sale, why I waited so long to pull the trigger, the world may never know.🤦🏼‍♀️😂 I only got a sample when it first came out but it’s always on my mind, that’s how special I think this one is.

I also really love (Keep Calm) and Carry On and don’t know why I didn’t ever get a full size of that one either. Is it still available? I don’t have a significant other but these softer masculine scents make me feel safe and calm and comforted. I especially love it when I can still smell them on my favorite hoodie, it’s like putting on a big comfy hug.

Oh I remember! I got a second bottle of Northern Comfort instead of Carry on…I only had funds for one.😔 Northern Comfort is my favorite hoodie scent, although that one may not be available anymore either.

I wanted to snatch up as many I could but Mtoto if you like clean smelling scents, this is AMAZING. I love this one. I also like Clean Reserve Skin which is similar but Mtoto is sweeter. It’s great for musk lovers. Very comforting.

 

Today I wore Platelet Punch and that’s also fruity and clean smelling to me.

You've convinced me on Mtoto. It was on my maybe list but I love most scents with sandalwood. Excited to put this on with a fluffy warm sweater as soon as it gets a little colder.

Yay! I hope you love it! It’s very clean and cozy!
