Shelly B Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Well that would completely suck - since this is the one I'm most excited about. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddesslynne Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 No celery for me, I really like this one, it might be in the top 3 for me!! I was scared of the honey and civet, since I can have problems with these notes, but not with this blend!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueBear Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I have trouble with honey and civet too, but they are nice in this. The grapefruit is an interesting twist in this. This might a be just a tetch too naughty for me to wear at work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly B Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Have a sample in the box I get to pick up tomorrow - and I couldn't be more excited. Honey and civet? Plus grapefruit? Sounds almost like a naughtier Cougar to me - have fingers crossed I will love it. Am leaving the house phero and scent naked so I can unleash the box in the PO parking lot. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Sounds almost like a naughtier Cougar to me My analogy is if Money Honey made a porno with MRF as a supporting player, heh. The grapefruit is a bit sharp with the other notes, but YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potion Master Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Civit is a very dirty musky smell, it has a lush flowery cast to it, but to some people it can smell like cat peeeeeeeee! It is the musk of civit cats in reality - but is no longer a legal ingredient to add to perfume, so modern civit is synthesized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he wears civit smelling scents on purpose though.. he has a kitty. For a while it was the only p#&&y he was getting so that explains alot!

rinster Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 (cracking up on the cat-boy interchange!) This was a bit too feral for me to pull off. Civit and me are not meant to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pony Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 This was way similar to Sexology for me...heavy on the civit and brown sugar. Grapefruit also added a little bit of rotten citrus in the background. Hmm...not a keeper for me. I loves my Sexology, especially now that the coworker who ALWAYS asked if a cat had pissed in my office has moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyVictoria Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I tested this one again this weekend, it does not work on me at all. I want to claw at my skin. I smelled like that cereal with the Sun and the scoopy thing of raisins that's been sitting in milk for days.. outside... in the desert. I think it's the brown sugar that gets all cracked out on my skin. I wish it didn't because it smells delish in the vial but then once it establishes contact, forget it.

Synergist Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I'm getting quite a fruity vibe from this as well as a deep, rich sexiness. It starts off strong and warm and elegant, but as it dries it goes a bit too rank for my liking. It's not a favourite for me, but it's not bad. Civet can be temperamental on me.

Fleur Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 This feels like a love child of Cougar Potion and one of SLF scents with honey/amber/musk notes. Definitely with a slutty vibe, but warm and fruity at the same time. I like that the grapefruit is on the sharp side, otherwise I think it would be totally overpowered by other notes. As is this is balanced and interesting scent, I like it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Cat Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I had just requested this sample as one of my forum freebies, so when I saw it on the sale list, I dug it out. And wow, what an interesting experience! I put some in the crooks of my elbows, and some on my wrists/backs of hands. The elbow patches amped grapefruit to high heaven, and I thought, Nope, not happening. But then that stage ended, quite quickly -- and oh, good gracious, this is what I hoped Sexology (the scent) would be and could never quite get! I was always overwhelmed by sugars in that one. The grapefruit somehow tempers the sugars. Once it's dried down, the grapefruit is this light sharp note that makes all that sweet sugared dirty darkness work beautifully on my skin. Also, it lasts and lasts -- when I woke up, I could still smell strong traces on my skin. Must have a bottle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I love this one too. I think it's one of the 'undiscovered' treasures. The grapefruit is bright but burns off quickly, and you're left with a very steamy sexy honey scent that lasts for ages on the skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StacyK Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Yes, I wish I amped the grapefruit a bit more with this and my skin is also a citrus burner. But it's fun while it lasts. I agree, it's definitely one of those LP buried treasures. So is "Pom Pom Nom Nom". Edited August 4, 2014 by StacyK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleur Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I think I am getting more amber now than when I got my bottle last year. It does make a nice combo with the grapefruit though. And at the later drydown stages it becomes such a lovely 'sugared SLF' (honey-amber-musk) scent. I believe that sugars in this one make the SLF-part much softer, and even with the civet note being there, the scent does not come off as 'dirty' in the littlest bit.

I'm excited to try this with a little Sugared Grapefruit. ETA Black Cat gave me an idea, maybe I need to boost my bottle with Sexology..

Black Cat Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Reviews reminded me of the full bottle I snagged during the sale, so I opened it up tonight and slathered. I really love this one. The grapefruit note is reminding me of Glamour Puss tonight. A sexy NC-17 rated Glamour Puss. Everything melds seamlessly so dark and dirty is perfectly matched by bright and sparkling. I think this will be gorgeous for next summer, because despite the dark and dirty notes, it wears quite light, almost sheer on me. Some of the honeys that I love are just a little too much in hot weather. This will be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsonlisa90012 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Did anyone boost this with Sexology that could talk about that? I was thinking about the Sexology or the Aja boost. Advice?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StacyK Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I wouldn't boost this with AJA. This has both Honey & civet and, for me, it would too intense adding AJA on top. I didn't boost, but I have worn this with unscented Sexology and they are very congruent together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
androstenol Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Wet in vial, very masculine to me. Wet on my skin, I get a note of Celery or Fern (much like Bekkah noted at the beginning of the thread. So I figured, ok, it's a male or unisex scent. After drydown, now it's a lovely unisex sort of musk/amber smell. Really no grapefruit to speak of. I may try layering this with a sugared to give it a lighter note. Update: layered with a smidge of Sugared French Vanilla, but the bleed through is still too musky for me. Don't think this one is for me Update: removed the scent with glass cleaner wipes like I usually do, and now all I smell is ill-disguised cat pee. Since we own three cats, this is a scent I'm probably triggering against as a sign I need to clean something, rather than sexy times. Interesting experiment though !

SirenSong Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I pined after this one for awhile because I thought it sounded like an interesting combo. Was never big on Grapefruit until I got the wonderful Sugared Grapefruit, so I thought I'd give this a shot. Cinnamon and honey? That can't be wrong. I wasn't afraid of the civit because I have Remind Me Again and it's just fine. So, I got my full bottle, thought once (no, twice) about wearing it to work without trying it before, and rolled it on anyway. Yes, it's sexy, but I liked it and I wear all sorts of "forbidden" things to work. Oh yeah, there's that "animal note" in there I could detect. I didn't care because the grapefruit is sitting on top of it all with it's grapefruity brightness. But we know citrus notes tend to burn off quickly.... So, I get to work and immediately walk into a meeting, sit down, and my female co-worker says "What is that smell?" She thinks it's her shawl needing to be washed, it's her laptop...??? I'm playing innocent. And, you know, I am getting an off note from myself, like a stale cigarette smell (I am never around smoke). But I still smell honey, grapefruit, and cinnamon, so I have faith that I still smell good and the off note I am getting can't possibly be detected. The male on the other side of me didn't seem to notice. Later I mention this on Facebook and Mara comments that it is a very sexual blend, that she wouldn't recommend wearing it to work. Oops! But there's no cops or pheromones, so I thought it would be safe. Just a caution about this one. No one else complained. None of the males I was around seemed to mind. I actually enjoyed it's dirty honey sexiness. Just note that the grapefruit burns off and you might be left with only a cinnamony dirty honey. :Emoticons0424:Maybe I should layer it with Sugared Grapefruit.
