perfumesniffer Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I got hit with a blast of almond extract at first, then it turned into almond cookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 There's no almond in it, so I find that surprising...maybe the cocoa butter is making your brain think almond. It's really hard for me to articulate why this is so yummy to me, it's just...delicious, like my eyes roll back in my head kind of delicious. But very very sweet, it may strike some as too sweet at first, so let it dry down and judge it then. But it is thick and fluffy and smooth, it fits the mood of the concept perfectly. I've been wearing it to bed and sighing over myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Halo, why don't you have your package yet??? Oh, ok, I just checked and it says "out for delivery", so hopefully you will have it today. Ummm, yes I did sneak a little bit of almond milk into this, as Halo originally envisioned. I thought it would meld nicely with the cocoa butter once I started brewing.

tyvey Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) omgggggggg Wet, this is the faintly almondy , non-rosey cousin of Rosebud's Cupcake. A lot of creamy mellow marzipanyness. Eyes-rolling-back sweet. FOOD, FOOD, FOOD. Would be *tremendous* body butter. ETA as it mellows it is giving me a KSM kind of vibe, quieter and less sweet.

Invidiana Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Wow, this is like musky, creamy vanilla angel food cake with a drizzle of honey. I also get a very faint cocoa smell which I couldn't place until I looked at the note list and so cocoa butter, which must be where it's coming from. It's SO delicious!

JOC Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I got a shock when I opened the vial. It smelled like some heavy duty scent. I closed the vial, returned it to its spot and thought about tossing it into my trade box. It was probably the label which made me decide to try it. At drydown, it became a soft vanilla with a faint cocoa scent. Very pretty and sparkly IMO. Will have to test KSM & LP Silver together one fine day.

Calii Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I am really enjoying this too!! ...I am glad the honey note is not stronger or it would not work on me...mmmm,mmmm,this just keeps getting better and better,oooo,I can smell the almond and the musk now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djacquelynstew Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Can't believe I forgot to review my baby. I LOVE it. Originally I had envisioned a bit more honey, but I also envisioned this as a layering scent so I like to add a wee little dab of Sugared Honeycomb to a bunch of Angelique. Better yet a big roll of LAM vanilla honey and then it's got phero-y goodness and a little more honey. The white chocolate is DIVINE in this. I love it. Did I mention I love it? It's got that little touch of almond and something almost smells like a bit of wood in it which I am sure is the almond. Love it. To those that are afraid of it, it's one of the few LPs that I like more the more I slather. So give it a GOOD big try. Thanks you Mara, I LOVE IT!!! aw damn, I passed this up the other day when I ordered because of the chocolate...but i swear I kept going back to it and reading it and thinking "maybe I should order a sample"....now I am gonna have to order a sample or two for real. I loooooooves me some honey.

Elliebellikins Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 This one is heavenly sweet and scrumptious. I didn't find the chocolate overpowering in any way, so I'm sure you'll love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calii Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) Oddly,I get no chocolate at all...for me this ends in a powerful,sweet bright musk...I will say that this is THE longest lasting scent I have worn in a very long time,seriously ...through the night Oh hey hey hey,a milestone post...I da shiznay!

Pony Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Just got around to trying this..and I am totally addicted. Going to get a bottle amped with either BAM or Sexology for the cozy snuggly. Reminds me of the original EGG, though I know the notes aren't necessarily the same. A not quite chocolate, not quite marshmallow snuggly cuddly scent. After a while the base musk reveals itself very faintly through the soft pillowy scent... Me likee vurry vurry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyvey Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 ITA about the Egg comparison, in that if you sample it blind, you would NEVER go 'O hai I has chocolate'. I have this boosted with EoW and you would never know it - not even in the bottle, not even from the first instant applied - I don't even dry down with it. Needless to say it's a favorite.

bruiseviolet Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 This is very very sweet when I first put it on and I get a lot of almond! I get almond, cocoa butter and cream. Something about it reminds me of Snowbound. It does become less sweet and more wearable as it dries down though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimitra Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 This to me smells like very sweet vanilla...At first I wasn't very fond of it but now that has dried down is prettier and I like it a lot! I may prefer darker scents but this is a smell that grows on me and is fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOC Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Revisited this scent a while ago. My daughter dropped the sample vial on my bed a long time ago and I'm left with a wee bit. It's still as soft, fluffy and chocolatey. This is a very cute and cuddling scent to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenwing Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 this was all creamy vanilla on me. which was still nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruiseviolet Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I am giving this scent another chance and it has grown on me! It smells yucky on me at first, but then it manages to smell like a pretty flower without smelling floral. Maybe it's like a vanilla flower? It's an addictive kind of scent. I thought I didn't like it, but something makes me keep sniffing it so I've decided I like it. It's kind of like a song you don't like, but gets stuck in your head so much that you eventually find yourself liking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenwing Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 ok when i first bought this it gave me a headache and seemed too strong for me, however i let it mellow and it is softer now and doesnt give me headaches. It is a really nice gourmand vanilla on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinnamonmel Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hmm have I not reviewed this?! On me it's a creamy cocoa butter with a whallop of white musk, which suits me just fine. I love love love the LP white musk soooooo much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabylicious Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Like others said I also got an initial almond blast...very unecpected and pretty! This settles fast into Pure cocoa butter goodness....This one is so buttery its unbelievable! Buttercream and cocoa butter? OMG....too good to be true... The Vanilla base is perfect all the time, I got no honey, but can imagine how it might work if I add some... It feels a bit chocolatey, because of the cocoa butter, but not too much... I feel this potion is sheer and light, but it has a strong projection....ok, now I 'm getting the honey note, just lovely! Its subtle and I like this 'cause sometimes honey comes off very strong and dominant on my skin, which I enjoy but not everyone around me... FBW!

MeriendaTime Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) I get a strong blast of almond also initially. I don't perceive it as foody. The Vanilla is prominent but it doesn't come off gourmand to me. It smells more clean. Not a CLEAN scent exactly, but if you were to freshen up a sweet perfume, this would be it. I find it very comforting...but cool at the same time if it makes any sense. I don't care for fresh/clean scents. My tastes lean towards gourmand/sweet smelling perfumes, but if I felt like wearing something coo/cleanl/refreshing but not too clean I'd slather this on to stay within my preferences. The longevity is great, it wears close to the skin. If it were just a tad sweeter this would be perfect for me.

LadyVictoria Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 OMG really? This is creamy dreamy sweet fluffy clouds of white chocolate almonds and marshmallow pillows on me. I get this total marshmallow covered in white chocolate melted yumminess! I am so glad I scored 2 bottles in the sale, and I was going to go back for more but it is now GGG!

Lexy Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Really love Halo's Angelique!...at first I thought it was going to go sour on me, but once it dried it turned into a nice sweet close to the skin scent. Beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcreepers Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) I wish I would have tried this before it become GGG because the tiny little sample I have is not nearly enough. This is such a soft, close to the skin scent that comes off as almost sheer clean foody, as opposed to the dense tooth aching sweetness I often prefer. I mainly smell the cocoa butter, but with enough subtle variations to keep it from verging into Palmer's lotion territory. This is a quiet and cozy scent that I wear just for myself.

Eggers Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I'd buy more of this if you had it re-brewed. I love it. Last night I paired it kind of haphazardly with Lady V's Cherry Rose, (honestly, I don't know what I was thinking), and OH. EM. GEE. They smelled so effing delicious together I could hardly get my nose off my arm! It was all marshmallow-y-cherry-vanilla musk So awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Ducky Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Eggers -- you are SOOO on to something! You just inspired me to try Halo's Angelique over Mamelons de Cerise; my nose is experiencing multiple nose-gasms. Next I'm going to try HA with Sugared Roses and see if the sugar note adds to the deliciousness. WOOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyVictoria Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Omg I also wore Halos Angelique with Lady Vs Cherry Rose to Disney the other day!! I even snuck in a few dabs of Special D Halo's Ange- is thick white chocolate on me, like white fudgy marshmallow chocolate. It's amazing and I also wish I would have grabbed for during the sale.

Eggers Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 The combo is amazing, isn't it? Super sexy yum! (Imma add Special D next time). Ever since the first night I tried it I've been obsessed. It's all I want to wear! I'll need more of both... eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrschrissyrez Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm probably the only one who can't wear this...just like Odalisque It just doesn't smell good on me. Think it might be the almond note?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
