Dolly Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 This "feels" a bit smoky to me, and I'm amping the coffee a bit too much for my liking. I like the smell of coffee, but I don't want to actually smell like coffee. Given all the love this seems to be getting elsewhere I am happy to trade it away to someone who will appreciate it more Just a suggestion.....always give these scents more than one try.....diet, stress, and hormonal changes during the month can all make a difference in how a scent may or may not react with your skin!

AlienChangeling Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Odd, I get no coffee, just lots of lovely incenses & maybe some resins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perfumesniffer Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 If only the clove were cardamom ...Glad it's not though, I'd need a CASE of this! yup, and if the coffee were more prominent too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergist Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Odd, I get no coffee, just lots of lovely incenses & maybe some resins... yup, and if the coffee were more prominent too Strange, but I guess I have a tendency to amp coffee smells. Isn't it always the way that we amp the smell we don't like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyvey Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) I will never learn. Indian attars and I are mortal enemies and yet I insanely keep trying things that have them. I BARELY touched the tip of the vial wand to my skin with this. Instantly surrounded by planet-sized cloud of attar, want to die.* But in about 10 minutes it "burned off" and is purring, creamy, dense, like a dessert, with the sandalwood acting almost like an infused flavoring, you know, like rose water scented rice pudding. It reminds me a lot of midnight cravings now. I have gotten no coffee at any point. * I also managed to accidentally get some in my mouth during this stage, which also made me want to die. It would be hard to overstate how bad it tastes. My tongue is still buzzing. Edited August 17, 2012 by tyvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinnamonmel Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 you know tyvey, i have gotten this in my mouth also- i totally understand. Yikes. Mine is boosted though so i wasn't sure if that was why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosebud Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I don't get any vanilla or Constant Craving yumminess from this I just get insence... I amp it ro crazy levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyVictoria Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I want to smell like a gypsy. I really do. This on me smells like a gypsy man that is laying down hot asphalt and then all of a sudden the tires burned into plastic puddles ~ with every single incense shop in the world sprinkled on top. No coffee, no vanilla, no sexy. This is all hot burning asphalt incense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanya27 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 wow this smells really good on me..I smell vanilla and almost sweet carmalized sugars with resins and beautiful incenses.Once it dries, I get the hints of coffee.. mmm beautiful for fall! and Im so happy I have a bottle on the way.

dolphindolls2 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I really like this sample.... I get apricots as my first note that I can small and then the vanilla comes out.... I love how as it is on my skin a bit it morphs into this nice light vanilla powdery scent.... I love how my skin chemistry makes this smell so unique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'm just wondering, are you sure it was Gitana you were wearing? Because there's no apricot note in that one that I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienChangeling Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yeah, I don't remember apricot or vanilla, just massively delish INCENSE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this sounded funny when I read it, it sounds like one of the LP variants more. Mislabelled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyvey Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 That does sound fruity and bright and light, the DEAD opposite of Gitana! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphindolls2 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'm just wondering, are you sure it was Gitana you were wearing? Because there's no apricot note in that one that I know of. My sample says Gitana and I tried it on again today for work and I still get the Apricot as the first thing I smell... I purchased the sample from LP on my first order so I'm hoping this is what a full bottle will smell like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Huh, because to me it seemed like you were talking about something like Ricotta Sonata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphindolls2 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Huh, because to me it seemed like you were talking about something like Ricotta Sonata. So do you think that if a purchase a full bottle of Gitana, it will not smell like my sample? bummer if its not Gitana as I love this so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 It's difficult to say, it might actually smell like that on you. But you're the one who likes dark resin scents, right? I think you would like Gitana, it's another one similar to the scent you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm the one that loves dark resiny scents... so I figure if I purchase this and it does not smell this way, I can put it up for sale....thanks for all of the great info...

cinnamonmel Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 what colour is the oil? That might help narrow it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphindolls2 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) The oil is light brown, the color of light ale....tried to put a pic of this up but I can not get it to work.... Edited September 5, 2012 by dolphindolls2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfumesniffer Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 This is the most wonderful powdery incense on me. Not powder as in baby powder, which I don't like, but the kind of dry rooty powderiness that I usually associate with orris root. Maybe it's a kind of sandalwood? And I love the sweetness. Someone I had a crush on gave me some a gift of sweet musk incense when I was 11 or 12 and I burned it often, which my parents weren't happy with but they didn't forbid it. This scent brings that memory back. I don't get much coffee or clove. I'll need to save up so I can boost this with something appropriate like Bang.

Or two. Squeeeee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shehoss99 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I wanted to adore this. I did! As a flamenco dancer especially! But it was actually so off, I can't even sniff the bottle happily! I think the smoke/coffee are too much for me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfumesniffer Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) I do all the time lol, makes me feel alive I'm afraid I'll jump inappropriate people, like the guy I have a crush on but who I know has a girlfriend. And I don't want to embarass him. Edited December 1, 2012 by perfumesniffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellumed Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Ahh, this is so depressing, everyone's getting some kind of sexy incense and I'm getting smoky barbecue in the sample, then bacon and bubblegum on my skin. Clearly... not for me... As it dries I get occasional whiffs of vanilla, and they are nice, but they're not enough to save this. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchjulie Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) On paper this one looked right up my alley. On me it has a sharp medicinal quality which never really mellowed--maybe the benzoin? It skews masculine to me and brings to mind...aftershave, maybe? On a guy I think this would be very nice, strong and sensual. Edited December 6, 2015 by Patchjulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
