Artemis Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I am sooo freaking excited!!! Yay!!!! My invoice is paid and my treasures will be here soon 🥰 Since this is our last chance to buy stuff before the prices go up I was so bad and stocked up on so many unscented pheros. Now I have full bottles of most of the unscented pheros. I got full bottles of mother's little helper, charisma for women, mega Watt, gotcha and sheer Essence. I got pherotines of TMI and savage Beast. And then a ton of scented samples and full bottles of some freebies I love! Mommy's Little Monster is so good. The pear and hay is amazing and I've been wanting to buy a bottle forever. ❤️ Beflower is amazing too. I'm just so excited. Happy sale everyone!!!

hedgehog Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I remember when I got a box that holds 30 bottles. I was like, "30 bottles is so many, it's one for every day of the month! I'll never need a bigger box than that!" I am still in denial. 🙃 But on the plus side, my current "overflow" box is a tea tin that I am slowly "papering over" with old TV labels. The stained glass labels and the Pherotine 2019 labels are so gorgeous that I didn't want to throw them away! If I was more artistic I would do a decoupage!

dolphindolls2 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Ok, who has a good recommendation for a good perfume box, when my order arrives I will be well stocked for perfume... I was so happy that I was able to save all year for this sale and get all the perfumes I wanted prior to increase that's coming... I will now be stocked for a bit, so I'm happy that I will have all of my favorites... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenappletart Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 You know, I bet it would look great if you combined some of these ideas. Using old labels to paper the inside of the door of the shot glass case, so they would be facing out through the plexiglass. It could serve the double purpose of looking beautiful and helping to protect the bottles from light. Maybe pasting them onto paper cut to fit, then attaching that to the inside of the plexiglass. They could be arranged in a collage, designed to look like stained glass, or even pieced together, quilt-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 We have piles of retired labels if anyone wants to request some. We never want to throw them away, so they go back years.

Eve Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I ordered the sampler. Some I should like, and there are an equal number that I probably won’t. But, because Mara really does work magic, it was impossible with this collection to rule anything out. Hungry Souls I’m pretty sure isn’t going to be a “me” fragrance (sorry @Eastwood22) But, if it turns out Eve really does like smelling like peanuts then I will own up to it. Flan de coco has maple, so it likely won’t play nicely with my skin chemistry, however, if the maple doesn’t take over, I should really like it. And on and on it goes: notes that past experience tells me are a no go, and yet Mara can prove that to be wrong. Sometimes anyway. I’m betting that Spike and Thorn will work so long as the patchouli is only a hint. Earth and Urn is another that’s promising. I remember that I liked the previous Crème Cake, but I also gave my trial away to a newbie, so obviously it wasn’t one I couldn’t part with. I’m curious now that time has passed if it will move from like into love territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayla Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I ordered 2 bottles of Pumpkin Dulce, 1 bottle of Coconut Custard, and trials of Earth and Urn, Hungry Souls, Red Rum, and Shadow Dragon. I almost went full bottle on Earth and Urn, but wasn't sure about the tobacco, as it sometimes smells good on me and other times, not so much.

greenappletart Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I know I'll be getting the sampler and a fb of Creme Cake. It was the reason I got a bottle of FC: Oatmeal in the sale. Who knew I would enjoy smelling like oatmeal? But I can also do one more fb. I just have to decide which. I've narrowed it down to either Odalisse or LP: Black Pearl (the patch is loud in that, but not nearly as loud as regular LP: Black.) Maybe I should do a second bottle of Beyla, instead. Argh, decisions!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the Etsy site and there are less Odalisse on there than LP Black, sometimes I make my decisions on what I think stock numbers look like. (I also know this can be 100% off because some is in store and I think she only puts so much on that site,) I did not see any Beyla. You might need to call shop for that one.

I think I'll get the Odalesse since it has fewer listed. And, as much as I like Beyla (if there's even any left), I think I'd rather have at least one bottle of one of the other ones, than 2 of something. I was testing Odalesse again today to help me decide, and I really do want a bottle of it. It's a soft enough fragrance that I can easily layer it with something if I want to add a touch of BI. That makes it a little more versatile than the Black Pearl, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenappletart Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Well, I went ahead and chose the Odalesse. I also added cops to the Creme Cake. It's such a subtly sexy scent, I figured it would go well. This way I have this one with cops and a bottle from last time without. I didn't want to have to layer it with an Occo and change the scent.

I have a trial of Odalesse, I should get around to sampling it! The cat on the label is so precious. I had cops added to one of my two bottles of Sunshine Brûlée, and I have one bottle of Rubylicious with Aja and one without. I know what you mean about changing scent with OCCO’s, even though they are complimentary. I do like how cops and Aja can shift the scent a little, though, sometimes it’s like just adding another pinch of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eve Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) @citrine Pumpkin Dulce smells very much how I remember Garland and Lace, however I no longer have G&L to compare it to, (I do have the Latte but not the same of course). @Eastwood22 I don’t smell peanuts in Hungry Souls—none at all so far. A slight resemblance to Warm N Toasty though. I may actually like it a lot once it has rested from its journey a few days. I’ve jumped to conclusions too quickly in the past to trust what my nose is telling me when its only been delivered today. There is also something about it that reminds me of Snoozle but less sweet which is a good thing actually. In fact I couldn’t say whether it is more like Snoozle or W&T right now.

Amanda Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I’m most excited about Gossamer Threads this time around! I don’t actually have gossamer but I do have Petticoat Lane and it’s definitely a favorite. I’m excited for the addition of the pink berries! This is the only one I went fb on so far. I’m really *expecting* to love Spike and Thorn but I was good this time and started with samples of this and a few others, my bank account is proud of my restraint.😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymous2F Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Earth and urn was an unexpected LOVE I'm so obsessed, shadow dragon, ashes to dust. Maybe pumpkin dulce/red rum/coconut custard.

Eve Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Originally I was supposed to be out of town for most of the week, but the dates had to be pushed back a little. So, instead of letting my sampler rest undisturbed for a while, I’ve been getting into it. Part of the fun for me is seeing how some perfumes change after settling into their new home. Here’s where I’m at on placing my next order. I already placed an order for Crème Cake. It’s not that I think it is a particularly unique fragrance, but I like it enough to fill that spot for when I want to smell like an autumnal/winter baked goodie. I actually bake a lot, always have, and the aroma is something I quite enjoy. Last year’s Crème Cake sold out quickly even though it wasn’t talked about that much on the forum. So, I figured I’d better get it now or chance missing out again. Hungry Souls was a fail. I wrote a short review after applying it for a second try last night, but it just doesn’t agree with my skin chemistry. Initially I felt like Red Rum was too masculine, however I put it on first thing this morning and after resting for a few days it has moved into full bottle territory. Multiple full bottles most likely. I did have a smidge of NoCo White layered under it, so that possibly nudged it over into the more feminine side. Either way, layered or not, it’s a keeper and deserves its place at the top for me of this collection. I’m still undecided about Spike and Thorn. So far the patchouli has not done anything ugly with my skin chemistry, but it can be sneaky, devious even, so I’m withholding judgment for a while longer for it. It is a nice snuggly fall fragrance. Totally unisex. Earth and Urn is another I need more time to get to know. First time I tried it, right after it arrived, it was instantly dark coffee, then it was wood, and then it was dirt. Lots and lots of earth! I garden, don’t dislike the smell of earth, but it was so dominant and overpowering that I almost didn’t try it again. The next time I tested it, it was more balanced. The opening is great! But it still threatens to smell like an ashtray with some earth thrown in after its been on a while. The BF is a smoker, my granddaddy smoked cigars, Both men I love/loved dearly. I’m not opposed to the smell. But having it be the predominant note is not something that appeals to me. I’m not giving up on it yet though. Some of the stages it goes through I really really like. This one I will let rest a week or more before I attempt it again. EDITED TO ADD: This is crazy! After a shower, guess what Earth and Urn smells mostly like…coffee! Yum! ( As a side note, heated towel rack on cold mornings after a shower = 😊) Coconut Custard I like. I likely will wear my trial until it is empty. I don’t know that I’ll go for a full bottle. The same for Pumpkin Dulce. Catrina, Remembrance, and Shadow Dragon are just not “me” type scents, but I am glad I got them because trying them helps develop my nose’s education.

I also went full bottles on Pumpkin Dulce and Mamelons de Cerise. I intended to also get Creme Cake, but for some reason 🤷🏻♀️I didn’t.

greenappletart Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 @RosesArePink @Eve My Creme Cake with cops arrived. Now I just have to wait a week. I will let y'all know how it turns out. I'm so bad at knowing what can handle cops. In my invoice, I made sure to ask if it could handle them. And, Eve, I loved your comparing the various scents from the new release in one place. There are always so many, it takes a while to get them sorted in my mind. Seeing so many of them together like that gives me a better sense of them. @Eastwood22 Yes, the Occos are great, but they definitely add an extra dimension. And sometimes, I don't want to have to think about what will pair well. And I love aja in scents, because it's like getting 2 for 1. The original scent and then, after it has faded, the aja continues to bloom and create a gorgeous honey scent. I'm lucky that aja plays nicely with my skin.
