katz Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) Got mah wonderful LP Sale package yesterday, and today I'm testing out the Canary Faery...from the ingredients list I felt for sure this is one that would work well for me in the heat of the Southwest summers...and I think it does! It's got a bergamot-lemon top note that blends well with the mossy base, and allows it to stick around. I can smell the freshness of the bamboo-cucumber, with just a touch of green from the 'stems'. It's not Frog-y green, it's fresh as well and the overall feeling *is* uplifting. I slathered this one a bit (perhaps a bit more than I should have for office wear), thinking I'd have to to sniff it, but I don't need as much as I thought...it's got good throw. I'm wishing I'd amp'd this one w/A-nol for the extra lift, but I am glad I got the bottle! Edited August 12, 2009 by katz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-nol is happy-go-lucky, and lemony anything makes me feel that way. you could always layer with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadtomato Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 this is bamboo and lemony goodness on me. not usually the kind of scent i go for, but very green, refreshing, uplifting and lovely! it's not too lemony and the bamboo and other green notes keep it nice and soft and fresh...but the citrus notes give you a nice "kick" that gives you a little lift and boost to our energy. i can see myself wearing this one on dreary days when i'm really dragging my behind through it all!

luna65 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Totally fresh and light and lovely! It's got a "floating" vibe to it like Elevation Potion does, like the notes themselves are sort of floating above my skin as opposed to melding with/sitting on it. It's not sharp or soapy, not sweet, just clean and pure and soft. This makes a great work fragrance, I think, both in scent and intent, and you could layer it with something else for a little vavoom if you so desired. This would actually be a nice one for a SWS add-in, I think. *edit* Anyone who liked Sun Catcher would enjoy this; I think this is what I wanted the other to be (no soapiness from the white musk).

likeprettythings Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 This went rancid on me fast. I smelled like spoiled sugar candy that had been lying in the sun. I am glad that it's going work out for other folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sultry brunette Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 The lemon grass is what comes out the strongest on me. It is a little overpowering and all that I can smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiana Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I can definitely see how this is a definite must-have for green scent lovers, because it is beautifully done, just not for me. It's a yellow-green scent that's very much like fresh-squeezed lemon blending with sun-warmed fresh-cut grass. I knew I was never a fan of lemongrass, but still glad I got to try it out though.

ladybegood1 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I just ordered this! Sounds so lemony fresh, perfect for summer! I cannot wait to get it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybegood1 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I got this yesterday...just put it on an hour ago...LOVE IT! I have it on one arm and on the other I am testing occo:purple. Seperately they are both good...The faery has a lovely lemony greeness to it. I think it will be perfect for work and will try it out tomorrow. The occo.... was really weird at first, it smelled like vomit ...but that only lasted a few minutes now it smells super soapy--like a bubble bath where the soap makes your nose kinda tickle.... Sitting between the arms...I smell like lemon soap bubbles! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumbob Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 OOOO.... When i first applied on my arm... it's ALL LEMON GRASS! Uh... WHICH totally woke me up! It's not a scent that i would normally go for... but i was patient and waited for awhile... The scent very SLOWLY turned into a really pretty fragrance Subtle floral, sweet + musky? Everything blends very well IT's another pretty fragrance! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOC Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I can't believe that I have not reviewed this product. I love this scent despite the wake up call at the beginning. It mellows down to a soft musky veil after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOC Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 This is lovely! Canary Faery makes me feel so bright and new. UN Cougar came to my mind when I applied it this morning. Perhaps OW or PP will work well too. The only thing is that this scent don't seem to last on me. In fact, my daughter couldn't smell it on me this morning half an hour into application.

cinnamonmel Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I love this stuff, it really is cheery, and sunny. Just what I need in tthis damp and rotten UK greyness we call summer...ha ha. It's hard to describe, the freshness of bamboo (I normally hate bamboo) with a citrusyness and a hint of sweetness. I'm thinking of getting this amped with something...just nt decided what yet. Downside...boy does it make me sneeze at first, and I must love it because I want a bottle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenwing Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 i get major lemon form this. it is bright and sunny and sweet, but not too sweet. unfortunaly i get no depth. so good if i just want bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella15 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) This is very light, and slightly sweet... I love lemon, and was hoping for more of that... but this is still nice. Just doesn't have a big presence on my skin... Edited February 29, 2012 by Molls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergist Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 This is a very fresh and clean scent, but it's too green for me. I feel like I've just come in from mowing the lawn or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diabolique Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I smelled like a lemon bar. I liked the sound of the lemongrass bamboo and cucumber, thinking I would smell clean, refreshed and bright....and I smelled like syrupy baked goods :/ maybe I'd like it better with less of the sugars, it seems to be working out well for other folks though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonholly209 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 All I got was lemon. When chemistry gives you lemons you make......? It's funny because when i think of sour things my mouth starts to water, like the sour Altoids they used to have. After a very long time the lemon dialed back so that the other notes could seep through, but big brother lemon was still watching over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Since I've had this one for a good while now, I'm glad it's not sweet on me. I have sweet lemon scents (i.e. Lady Frost and Lorien's Skelly Tart) but this one I like because it's a lightweight upbeat fresh lemon scent which stays nicely blended throughout.

maiea Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Green and citrus! The lemon is so prominent on me. I love it so much, and scared of my next lpmp order... because I'm going to order so much stuff... likely including this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalaDinky Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 woah... I'm really learning to sample now. Skin chemistry really does make a huge difference. I love all the notes on paper, but when I put this on, it's a ZING lemon smell. Very very tart and sour, like fresh lemons concentrated to an eau de parfum potency. I'm so sad it never dials back and lets the greenery peek through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
