Beccah Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Me too, which is why I had to go full bottle... I wanted to on this one, along with LP White, but I thought I should try it out 1st. I haven't had much success with Bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missdarlyncherie Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Wow. I have had such good luck with rose lately...I love Aja....so tempting to jump in on this one too. So scared. So confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuTrix Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Wow. I have had such good luck with rose lately... Me too! Especially with Agent XXX - I want to love this! AND ROLL IN IT LIKE CATNIP! I hope it loves my chemistry. I got the sampler and a FB, I want another rose scent that works for me so badly.... I love BANG! and hope it's the same pleasant surprise AXXX has been!

Cougarrific Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I seriously need someone to review this one -- I ordered it, but have not rec'd it yet. I'm dying to know what it's like!

StoremyWhether Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I'm with you NuTrix! I actually chose to only get a sample of this one because rose tends to wrestle everything else to the background so I wasn't quite sure about it yet. I'd love to hear how this wears on everyone.

hearts Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Well, I love raspberry and I love rose. This was a no-brainer FB. Especially since it's BANGED?! First applied and this is heavenly! Raspberry-rose deliciousness. I'm drowning a sweet rose petals and berries! As it dries down, the raspberry fades away. I'm left with a slightly sweet, soft rose. The Aja is being tame and idk what storax is supposed to smell like... It's gone slightly powdery but not in a bad way. This scent feels ladylike and proper but undercover slutty with the Bang. I wish the raspberry lasted longer on me. But I'm still enjoying the dainty little pretty rose petal scent I'm left with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuTrix Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Thank you for that wonderful review! For me rose is either great or VERY bad (think scent memories of mom - or worse grandmom's "rose perfume") and it may not even be poor "rose's" fault - could be my own memory association hang ups??? My first rose love was Agent XXX and I've ordered a sample of Sugared Roses because I was thinking I may well be missing out on a rose scent that may work for me in that one too. I WANT to LOVE the rose in this. I really do love the smell of roses, fresh beautiful and alive petals while they're still gloriously blossoming... I went FB anticipating to adore this and am praying not to be wrong I kinda figured the raspberry note would flit away quickly. Aja works magic in tandem with other notes though so I'm crossing my fingers, toes and eyes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuTrix Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'm passing the buck to all of those who have adulterated the rose before I came to LP. I am hoping that Mara's genius can rehabilitate me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssupytalp Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I loved the sound of this, until Aja. Otherwise this would've been an fb no brainer. Yes, me too. Well, that is - the rose makes me slightly nervous too, but not terribly so (roses by other perfumers often don't work, but the couple of LP scents that I've tried with it have been fine to great). But the Aja.... we really don't get along, no matter how hard I try. I kind of hope there might be a version of this with no Aja (and maybe extra cops instead, yum! ) at some point.

Don't be afraid of the Aja in this! It seems to have WAAAAYY less Aja than Torrid Sorcery did, I can't even smell it! I'm not a fan either, it is just too strong for me. I just dabbed a little on my arm to test it out, and I get a rich raspberry buttercream, but like hearts said, it ends up very much a sweet rose scent. There's a subtle sweet, spicy element behind the rose, maybe the storax? No scary Aja, so don't be afraid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueBear Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I will have to try this one alone and overnight. I like Aja, but I think she was getting out of hand in this. It might get a little naughty!! The rose is absolutely gorgeous. I wish I could grow one that smells like this. I don't get much of anything with this other than the rose and Aja. This is not a complaint; it smells very sophisticated. But it might not be one to wear to work for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherise Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I get pink rose and a lil raspberry rum dessert drink concoction. Unlike the other Aja lp this has no hidden agenda has richly seductive scent. Not a perfect fit for me but the rose gives it a festive Valentine Day vibe.

Honeycake Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I am curious about this. Since Aja is in it, does that make it like Bang on steroids? Meaning this is like Bang with cops added? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherise Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Haha, probably.. this is definately most powerful lp in the bunch imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honeycake Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks guys! I hope you do report on your phero experiences. I have heard such good things about Bang, but I was wondering if this was like Super Bang or something! LOL! Regular Bang would have been cool with me, but super may be too much. The fragrance notes don't work well with me, but I just want to try Bang. Haha, probably.. this is definately most powerful lp in the bunch imo. This one turned out to get "nicer" (as opposed to naughty, lol) as time went on. This is really lovely. Curious about the "Bang on steroids" comment. I guess we'll see!!!!
