This is a sweet, melon floral. There was a brief moment of a high pitched perfume quality, but that burned off quickly. It has settled to mostly plumeria and melon on me. The sweet and icy keeps it chilly. It really is lovely. The musk keeps it from being too sweet on my skin. Of all my travelogue decants, this is going to be my bottle buy. It is inoffensive and close to the skin, making it perfect for work.

PLEASANT EMBRACE Lemon-silvered musk and white pear. In the bottle: Whoa PEAR! Wet: Still pear... The words that came to mind were "glittering pear." Something is coming off as almost "sharp" like glass. I'm not digging this right now. The sharpness and pear are kind of harsh. It's like the pear is a big bully and musk is trying to stand up for itself by turning into shards of glass. Dry down: Just when I was about to give up on this, magic happened. The white musk and pear decided they really were meant to be friends. The musk starts to deepen and calm the pear. My nose interprets this as "spiced" pear. I know there aren't any spices, but that stunning musk really gives me the vibe of an autumnal pear. I get no lemon in this this. This is going to be stunning in the fall when I want fruit but not bright fruit. This might be good for those who feel most fruits give a "too young" vibe but really like the actual scents.

This was the first Luper I slathered on when I got my package today. Such a good choice! In the bottle, I really picked up the cherry. I chose it first cause my hubby likes the fruit scents and we have a whole afternoon together. Once this hit my skin, the rose water hit. I also get the cherry/cream which is making this smooth. I don't know what rose water is compared to just rose, but there is no way this rose is going to go sharp on me with that cream/cherry smoothing it out. I catch whiffs of the bourbon, but it is not prominent. This is a beautiful scent that I find comforting. This is perfect for an afternoon of cuddling on the couch with my hubby and baby.
