Dolly Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 OK, this scent starts out very JUICY.....fruit fruit fruit.....as it dries, I get the attars and the oud....deep rich, sensual.....then, they back off and the fruit comes back into play and the fruity notes strike a nice balance with the darker notes....this is very nice, very interesting, and very nicely balanced.....thumbs up ladies!

katz Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I like this one, on drydown. Was not so sure when it was wet on the skin - it was a bit sharp to begin with, but now? It's very gentle and soft...I can see amping this one with a 'happy phero'... Lovely!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajia Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Ooooohh Yaaayy! This stuff is yummy! Not to fruity at all ( not on me that is)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Anna Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Ooh, this one is very nice. I get the fruity bite at first, then it dries down to something sultry...I think I'm hearing full bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countesszero Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Eve's Temptation has a very tempting scent indeed. I think this one calls for a full sized bottle. I'd buy some now but I've got 3 orders on the way. I'm putting this on one my "To Get" list for when my money fairy arrives on Friday. The fruit combo is perfect. When wet it's like Dolly said really fruity, almost downright juicy if you ask me. On drydown it turns into something really feminine and a little earthy on me. I love this. I think this is a really good spring/summer scent. I've always loved mixes with mango and pomegranate in them. And what is this marshmallow root..hmmm verry interesting and powerful indeed.

ivy_fiddlefox Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I was skeptical of how I would like this but now I'm interested.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) The apple note is very prevalent in this one at first, with the other fruit notes lending a crisp tart feel to the blend. In the drydown the attars are given a smooth quality by the marshmallow root, almost a "fluffy" character, with the tartness receding a bit. The apple does return after a time, deepened by the other notes, but it sort of does a peek-a-boo thing, heh. I really like this one, in that all the different qualities are co-existing. Surpisingly the oud is only just the faintest suggestion to me...a vague sense of smoky wood while walking through an orchard (not exactly, but I always get that evocation with apple blends), although in the final drydown it starts reminding me more of Raven's Secret Weapon. This is the kind of apple I like, "fresh" not "cooked." Edited August 5, 2009 by luna65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sultry brunette Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Nope. Not for me. All I get is cloyingly sweet fruit. I smell like a fruit salad specializing in ripe red apples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiana Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) I had high hopes for this *sigh*, but it turned out way too mango for my personal taste. Since I can remember I never liked eating the things, and I guess that just like pear, I'd probably really only enjoy smelling them as perfume if it was a caramelized mango type of scent. Fresh mango just isn't for me. It's the same with the apple in this; it needs to be a spiced and/or caramelized apple scent, I was just never into the whole fresh apple thing. I can smell the spices in the background, but it seems the mango just overpowers everything on my skin.

Kovvy Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) The apple and mango come through really strongly at first-- it makes me want a mango lassi! When it dries down a little, the mango is just a hint at the end of the smell. Very nice, very subtle. Â Â Edit: After more time, it's a sweet musk (it smells like vanilla to me, even though that's not in the ingredients-- maybe it's the marshmallow root?) with just a hint of pear. I love the evolution of Love Potions! I keep sniffing my arms. Edited January 29, 2010 by Kovvy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOC Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Sweet and fruity. Not my signature scent but I will use this. My daughter loves this and the sample vial is now sitting in her scent box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenwing Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 This one was very light. Only got hints of apple. just a light sweet scent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumbob Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) This one was very light. Only got hints of apple. just a light sweet scent. Â I get quite a lot of MARSHMALLOW ROOT and a hint of apple! I did get quite a bit of papaya at the beginning when wet!

JOC Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Revisited this scent last night. It was mainly apple on my skin. Soft and light apple scent in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruiseviolet Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I only got the apple in this and none of the other fruits. Like Fest of Fools, this was very thin on me and lacked depth. I guess apple scents don't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paganlady Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 "Lack of Depth" That's it in a nut shell. And that's why "Fest of Fools" is in my trade pile. It's almost like eating a Pez candy. It's light...it's fruity...it's sweet....and that's it. I like stuff that morphs & deepens. Unfortunately, on my skin, these 2 go nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfumesniffer Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I like the combo of mixed fruits and resins, it's perfect. I like Fest of Fools, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
