cinnamonmel Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 I see this and teddy b becoming firm friends!
goddesslynne Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 I've not had much luck with apple, but I love the magical meaning of these ingredients, so I really hope it works for me!!
snowflake Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 The label is very pretty. Looks like an enchanted forest.
Mrschrissyrez Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) Hoping this ones still around in a few weeks! I want to boost this with Balm Bomb or Tranquility. Edited September 16, 2012 by Mrschrissyrez
Calii Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 This is a delicious juicy apple,very fresh and crisp,it dries down with a faint herbal-ness wafting in and out,interesting,soothing and comforting,yet bright at the same time!

Ooh, soothing and comforting! So Balm Bomb or Tranquility would work?
Calii Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Ooh, soothing and comforting! So Balm Bomb or Tranquility would work? I think so,either one,if apple is your thing...this is not an apple pie comfort type scent tho,so it would depend on how the other components work...for you.
luna65 Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 From my first sniff of it I love how it is so very fresh apple; Q won't be as fond of it, I don't think, because he loves the sweetened apple scents on me, but I think this will be what I wanted Nibble Me This to smell like in regards to wear.
luna65 Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 YAIS, this is the fresh apple of my dreams! Crisp, sweet and tart. In the drydown the herbs come out a bit and for me it's not so much earth-like as just an airy ambience which perfectly suits it. I've always wanted a fresh apple scent without a wood note/blend and this is it, huzzah!
katz Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 I loved the sound of this one, especially...but the apple (very tart and crisp) just goes wonky on my skin. Autumn Lust with all the other notes surrounding it works much better for me I guess...
LadyVictoria Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) I love how crisp and fresh this smells! This feels very bright and sunny on. The apple is deep and strong smelling and I can't even tell there are herbs in this. It smells like when you step on crunchy leaves. That crunch sound is what this smell reminds me of. It's perfect red fall apple. Edited October 3, 2012 by LadyVictoria
goddesslynne Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 This is surprisingly beautiful! I don't know if it will be a FB, but I will probably be swapping for more samples, at least!! It reminds me of a shampoo I used as a teen (in a VERY good way)!
LadyVictoria Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 OH I kNOW now!!! It reminds me of Salon Selectives hair spray from when I was a young child of 15! It had that great apple smell and I would spray it just to sniff..
Mrschrissyrez Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 OH I kNOW now!!! It reminds me of Salon Selectives hair spray from when I was a young child of 15! It had that great apple smell and I would spray it just to sniff.. OMG! Salon Selectives was my favourite shampoo when I was younger...I totally forgot all about it till you posted this!!
LadyVictoria Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 OMG! Salon Selectives was my favourite shampoo when I was younger...I totally forgot all about it till you posted this!! This reminds me of that and makes me so happy, I even turn and fluff my hair like the girl in the commercial
Mrschrissyrez Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 This reminds me of that and makes me so happy, I even turn and fluff my hair like the girl in the commercial Damn it Lady V, now I have to get this one!!! My October order is spiralling out of control...
LadyVictoria Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 You won't regret it. I was never really into apple smells or pear, but LP they really know how to FRUIT IT UP!
goddesslynne Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I'm a bit older than you gals!! I remember a shampoo called Apple Pectin. It was my first "higher end" hair product!!
Calii Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 No one does apple scents like LPMP...justed added All Hallow's Eve...but have had this on my upper arms since early this morning and find myself just turning my head from side to side to catch and...breathe
Mrschrissyrez Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Good to know you like this Calii! I did get a fb unsniffed because Lady V convinced me!
Synergist Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 This is a very juicy, fruity apple, to me there's some other fruit in there as well that I can't quite put my finger on... I don't know... but I like it. On dry down it warms up and becomes less fruity, I think I like it better before drydown.
Bella15 Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 OMG, LadyV... it *is* the old school Salon Selectives!! LOL I kept thinking this reminded me of something, but I couldn't put my finger on it...
Mrschrissyrez Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Lady V!! You were right...Salon Selectives all the way! I really love this one, and my hubby loves apple scents so it's a win-win!! Thanks for giving me the push I needed to get this
Synergist Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Maybe I should decant my sample of this into some shampoo?? Relive the memory for you all
maiea Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 I like this! It's apples, apples and more apples. Not a fake apple either... but very real juicy apples. I almost want this in hand lotion or something.
ElizabethOSP Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) This is a lovely one!!! I could easily see it as a bath and body...but it's pure evocation of a place for me, and it's delicious! Anyone from the Inland Empire area of southern California may have been to Oak Glen at some point. It's an apple growing area east of Yucaipa. Oak Glen runs through a canyon with a village in the middle that has shops, restaurants, camping, and picnicking. I grew up going there *at least* once a year, and have continued to go there whenever I can. We're probably going up there this week if I can swing it. Anyhoo, over the course of my life I've had several favorite apple ranches up there, and Jewels of Avalon reminds me of...well all of them, really! Hee! If I were a raven, I could fly over to Oak Glen from where I live on the mountain, because they're directly on the other side of the ridge that I live snuggled against. The southern ridge of my canyon is the northern ridge of theirs! Jewels of Avalon gives me this: I'm standing in the apple barn at Wood Acres, in a good conversation with Jim, the owner (I wonder if he's still with us...haven't seen him in a few years), sampling slices of all his latest harvest and deciding how many to buy! The apple barns tend to be open to the outside, so you smell the air and the orchard as well as the apples, and some nice old barn wood to boot. I mostly get the apples, because, of course, they're all over my face and hands and in my mouth! But the rest of it's in there, too. Including the companionship of Jim. Perfect, Mara! Perfect.

luna65 Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Yep i've been up there (when I was a kid); interestingly Eve's Temptation reminds me of the apple farms up in Tehachapi. (My bottle is coming...so excited!)
missdarlyncherie Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Another nice apple scent! It is indeed a very true apple as opposed to my all time favorite apple scent Amaranth and Marigold that is more of a candy sweet green apple. I get quite a bit of the herbal smell as it dries down. I will enjoy my sample but I still prefer A & M for my apple fix!
Lainey Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Yummy! It smells like fresh, juicy red apples. I like it. And yeah, I can see the "Salon Selectives" thing, lol. It threatens to turn a bit plasticky on me on drydown, but somehow it never quite follows through on the threat. Thank goodness. My husband is not crazy about it, or so he says (I am starting to think he says these things to discourage me from buying any more perfumes! I'm not paranoid, you're paranoid!). But what does he know? He says they're all starting to smell the same to him.
Equinox Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Your husband knows not of what he speaks. I really like this one too. I don't get the plasticky vibe - just a nice tart apple with the herbs peeking through. I only have a sample but I often find myself reaching for this one. I think I might get a FB next month when the money grows back as I see there's still some on the GGG part of the other site.
