Invidiana Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I love fig and I love pink sugar, and I definitely smell the nomable delicousness of both in this; however, the earth note just doesn't strike the right chord with me in the beginning. Maybe it's my skin or maybe just the way my nose percieves it mixing with the figs and sugar. However, after it's dried down for a good while--I'd say 15 minutes--because I have skin that does tend to amp sweet stuff, the earth disappears and gives way to sweet, dripping ripe figs encrusted in pink sugar. Now it's totally nomable! Too bad this one is sold out and I hesitated to get a bottle because I was afraid of the dirt, but I'm definitely keeping my sample. Hey, maybe someone will want to get a hoarded bottle off their hands in the future, ya never know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeprettythings Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 The bottle I ordered is on it's way. I will be more than happy to review this I get it. I love fig and earth scents both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I like. Make more! I can't really describe it. A warm fruity/dark berry and a sparkle of sweet on top? No dirt on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiana Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) I like. Make more! I can't really describe it. A warm fruity/dark berry and a sparkle of sweet on top? No dirt on me. Yeah, the dirt disappears on me once it's totally dry because I amp sweet stuff, and I'm more than okay with that Isa, I LOVE your avatar!! hahaha Edited November 28, 2009 by Invidiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeprettythings Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I am wearing this now and I am loving it. It has a freshness to it that reminds me of Autumn Mist even though neither scent contain the same ingredients. Both of them have a fresh after the rain feel to them in very different ways. This is clean and earthly with musky fig and sweet sugar on top. Sexy and comforting like a walk with a hottie in a mist covered field. Gorgeous as I had hoped it would be.

luna65 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Got a sniffie of this, and fig is an "earthy" note for me anyway, so it's difficult to discern the difference, heh. I get the fig and the sugar more than anything, I'd say. Really nice if you're a fig lover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beccah Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Yep, I was feeling that way about it too. Fig is earthy, I will say I did stick this sample in my 'never in a million years, will I send it out with a trade pile'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyvey Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) LPMP has yet to cease to surprise and delight me. Earth/dirt notes have just never remotely appealed to me so I never gave this a second glance. But I am trying a sniffy today and just swooning. It has a freshness to it that reminds me of Autumn Mist even though neither scent contain the same ingredients. Both of them have a fresh after the rain feel to them in very different ways. This is clean and earthly with musky fig and sweet sugar on top. I got EXACTLY this same impression. I was really surprised how "bright" and fresh it is, especially wet -- would *never* have expected that from anything with earth in it! In fact I don't smell any explicit "earth/dirt" at all -- but I'm sure it's working with the fig to create this muskiness that I'm loving. The sugar actually doesn't seem that 'pink' to me, but -- especially wet but also through drydown -- I am getting an impression of super-sweet citrus -- maybe that's the way the pink sugar is expressing itself on me. The last thing I would have expected to say about this is that it's cheerful -- but it totally is. Posting to wishlist!! ETA for some reason it is making me very nostalgic for my childhood summers. I didn't grow up around figs. Maybe I'm subconsciously detecting the dirt and it's bringing me back to rolling around on the lawn and such.
