Dolly Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Miasma The Lily is a symbol of France, as is the Fleur de Lys logo - a symbol of both the flower and the country. MIASMA, a thick and heady melange of gorgeous-smelling but poisonous lilies, is an ode to the "Dark Queen" Catherine de Medici of France, circa mid 1500's. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Magickal Meanings of Ingredients: Poisonous lilies of every description...they smell sooo beautiful, but oh, so deadly... LILY ~ Purity, modesty. Wards away evil, protects, and breaks love spells. LILY OF THE VALLEY ~ Soothing and calming on the nerves. Sweetness, mental prowess, happiness. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OK, this one is LILY.....very powerful on me at first.....as it dries, I still get lily, but possibly other florals.....my skin is morphing this one, I think, and not in such a nice way. BUT, my skin is known to have a floral issue.For those of who who do well with florals, you will love it. Very beautiful in the vial, and for about the first 30 min after application (may be something I could use in a scent locket.....now THERE'S a thought).....try it, definitely.....I am sure that for someone with the right chemistry, it would be absolutely breathtaking....

seamonkey Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 (edited) Okay received my order today and this smells like one big bouquet of lillies. I like it though but I haven't tried it on my skin. The scent is pretty strong just on a whiff so I hope it subsides a little once applied. Edited May 6, 2008 by seamonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Let me know how it is on your skin. I did actually craft it bold, wide and strong on purpose. I wanted it to create a cloud of scent and really live up to its name - in a good way. It contains 6 types of Lillies and 3 other poisonous flowers, musk, woods and resins.

therapygirl Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 This one dried down beautifully on me! It really did surround me in a cloud of scent Mara! And that's saying alot because my skin eats scent for breakfast! It is very lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamonkey Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 After I showered I applied Miasma and the dry down was just gorgeous. The floral scent is not overpowering at all. If you like florals you will love this scent . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liz Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Intoxicating......and this from someone that isn't much of a floral person ( I wasn't a 'vanilla' person either 'til I found this place). I think I smell the 'wickedness'. liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivica Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Today I finally put this one on. When I first got it I smelled it in the vial but I guess I didnt pay enough attention to it. So I finally put it on after getting out of the shower and WOW its fantabulous. I love the fresh scent with the sweet dry down. This is like the perfect clean just out of a cold shower on a hot sumer day refreshing scent. I added this one to my full bottle list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimosa Pour Moi Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Miasma: Ohhh yes, strong lily yet NOT too crazy floral if you're not a floral person! Fear not! Like holding bunch of lilies in the hand and take a deep sniff of the flowers. It's got an edg to this blend however....just tad sharp for a few seconds before it mellows to a gorgeous soft scent. The short lived sharpness gives Miasma a "sinster, calculating" vibe to the blend. It's not an innocent lily blend, it's a very cold, crips type of lilies..with a tinest hint of green in the background. Sharp, cool,collective yet beautiful is Miasma!

cheeseburger79 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I love it too. I forgot about for awhile, but I wore it the other day after discussing what my favorite florals were with my honey(how many guys do THAT? He's really into the fact that I like to create customs and research pheros,ect...), I mentioned Lily of the valley and he likes it too. It IS a great perfume-I agree with Liz, you can "feel" a sinister edge there, the 'poison',if you will. But Gorgeous all the way. Great throw. Now of course I wanna do a LOV custom...but I'm very happy that I got in on Miasma while it was still around. It smells nothin like the perfume of my childhood "Muget du Bois" by coty(YOU know, that chartruese stuff in the spray bottle at drugstores everywhere), however, the mere scent of Lily takes me back to that time again. Holiday mornings, Summers on the porch watchin cars go by with my Grandma...so in that vein, its a memory scent for me, like some scents are, that take you to another place. For that alone I love it. And yes, though strong at first, Miasma mellows beautifully and stays with you all day allowing you to catch whisps of its lovliness. Thanks again gals!

Beccah Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 This was one of my gifted full size samples. I do like it. The lilly is really creamy, & to my nose could be interchangeble with gardenia. The green crispness comes across as slightly basil to me. I really like the way the creaminess lingers on my skin.

Shelly B Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 HOW did this NOT end up more popular? This is plain nuts...K - since I came to LP I love gourmands. Get it. But before I was a white floral fiend. AND this is WHITE FLORAL. Writ large. Loud and Proud. DAYUM white floral. White floral with a bad a$$ attitude. I really don't understand why this didn't sell out in like - 2 mins?! So so confused about that.... LURV's the wide a$$ white florals in this one. And THROW is a good thing. Embrace your inner Perfume 'HO already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Oh I think I've proven myself to be a scent whore more than once. This has quite a commanding and weighty vibe and if you love white florals then this is among the best of them. It doesn't turn to soap on me which is nice but I'm just not really a white floral type of gal unless there's a lot of sweetness involved, which would be wrong for Miasma. This is for a woman who knows her style and revels in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelly B Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 This is a scent that announces you 20 feet before you enter the room. Which is something I can't do everyday but when I am channeling a Mae West vibe - this would rock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyvey Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Piles of huge white flowers. Classically beautiful, very grownup, luxe -- ie totally not me:) but it's fun to pretend! This is what one must put on just before leaving the house when one is done with gown, hair & makeup and is on one's way downtown to be handed the Academy Award for Best Actress.

JOC Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 This is so beautiful. I love it and I wish I had purchased a couple of bottles during the sale. Very classic, mature and commanding. Very different from the soft floras I like. I'll have to keep an eye on this during the next sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOC Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I have to say that I love this. You'll need very little of this as it's got a fantastic throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumbob Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 This is a big surprise for me!!! This is a green scent for me. It's a clean Powerful and elegant lily. I see this going well with FOCUS! It slowly turned powdery on my skin... LOVELY :) There's a slight sharpness in the lily but i think that's what makes me feel focus and strong! Nicely done!!! WOOP WOOP!

JOC Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 To soften it, I used mixed a little of this with my body lotion last night. It turned out just fine. I'm certain this is how I will be using this from now onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientGoddess Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 this is a strong scent, its kinda unique too which i like. Been a while since I had this one, maybe it'll be posted in the sale items this summer sometime. Not sure what type of sales or sale the ladies will be having this summer but there will probably be at least one, its always exciting, this is when I really get to stash on some good stuff.

Lainey Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Oooh, this one's lovely! It makes me feel elegant. I love florals and I love lilies in particular, so I'm a big fan of this one. Sometimes it turned a little soapy on me, but I don't mind that. I like soap, too! haha. And this is like those super-elegant decorative soaps that you'd find in fancy hotels. When I first put it on, it seemed to disappear right away, so I reapplied it--and then it lasted a really long time! All day. And I mean ALLLL day! So that was nice.
