LadyVictoria Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 This wonderful potion smells super sexy and unique to me. You know how sometimes you wear something that you know looks good? Well this is what this smells like to me. There is a very warm sexy-ness to it. I get the soft warm scent of Banyan mixed with this blanket of tobacco and almost like this soft wood musky smell. I have never really smelled anything like this before, I keep reapplying and burying my nose in this because it smells so different, but sexy. I feel like it really does capture the spotted leopard perfectly. In my head I pictured her to be in the jungle, it was raining and there was probably a village of people nearby smoking tobacco, the smell of the trees, the rain, the woods, the villagers,... then she emerges, out of the woods -or jungle area, and she is in two worlds at once, her home in the jungle woods- and her home with the villagers. The villagers know her and give her cupcakes and a warm place to sleep by the fire. I am in love with this because it captures a sexy, but tame leopard that is truly unique and sure of herself in any world. This is perfect!!! Thank you so much PM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mrschrissyrez Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I love this review, LV!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You've got me wishing I had gotten one!! (Except I'm not to sure what banyan smells like.) I feel the same. It sounds so unique, but I am scared of the banyan also. Maybe I'll get a small sample of this in one of my orders! Awesome review LV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to add it's masculine but not! I think you will love this Luna. We seem to both love the tobacco and boysmells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Indeed! It seems I fall much more passionately for a men's scent than for a woman's, usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that one! Good to know for the future. Fig has always been kind to me! I never liked fig in perfume until LP. I love Enchanted Wonderland, that is where it happened. My love for the Banyan Tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfumesniffer Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Banyan fig sounds yummy. I love how big the banyan trees can get and how you can actually get underneath them, they form a kind of cave with their roots. The tobacco and fig looked wonderful, it was the chypre part that scared me. Anything with oakmoss goes sour on my skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dolphindolls2 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I can not wait till mine arrives, this sounds amazing....yum yum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 The fig aspect is really in the center of this and it blooms outward because at first the cyphre is more prominent. I can smell the pipe tobacco around the edges, and everything compliments each other nicely. A guy could definitely wear this because the banyan fruit isn't too sweet, just a nice contrast with the other notes. My only thing is I prefer a fig which is more green, but this one is fine for me because the other notes temper that quality. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dolphindolls2 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I just got mine today and even thou its great, I'm addicted to Black Panther. Its a very comforting scent that gives off that warm and cozy by the fire feel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienChangeling Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I just put this on! It's sort of green, but not; sort of woods, but not. A sweet something, a light musky something, maybe some fruit. Guy scent, but not. Initially I wasn't sure if I'd like it - I don't normally do greens and I wasn't expecting green. But this is but isn't! And I do like it. It's far and away the most puzzling scent I've ever worn, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphindolls2 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) I think the Banyan in this does not like me, I have decided to sell this one as I can no longer be a hoarder of scents I will not wear...

hearts Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Tried a few swipes- not sure of this one... You know that smell on your body that you get after a spray tan? That's what this is reminding me of :/ hoping my chemistry is just off - starting period in a week so I might be "off". will try again another day.
