I decided to give this one a try since it seems to garner "cult" status with so many. The moment it touched my skin, I immediately understood what everyone was saying and was welcomed by the scent...

There has been a lot of hype surrounding Luctor et Emergo, but I think it is warranted. It's one of those fragrances that polarizes people- some love it, some hate it. I happen to love it- but...

I LOVE this. I've been wearing it for special occasions over the last 5 years. I like to keep it special. On me it has deep cherry notes at the beginning, it gets spicy and woody as it develops,...

It's really hard to place Luctor et Emergo. The first few times I tried it, I went back and forth from "blah, whatever" to "kinda weird" ... and decided it was a fragrance that I was happy to let...

After hearing all of the hype on this I purchased a sample from Lucky Scents. So far, I really, really like it. I have even gotten compliments on it in the short time that I have worn it. The...

This fragrance is one that dances a happy little tune and one I find adorable. It makes me think of elves and faeries dancing on a needle point - weird, huh? It is distinctive in its own way, and...

I ordered a decant from perfumed court based on the raves that this received in the frag board. I opened the package and sprayed it on myself, eager to experience the almond and cherry bliss that...

I got this as a sample from Beauty Habit and I don't know if I got the right perfume or not because I don't smell any of the cherry or almond others are talking about! I suspect though that it is...

For some reason, Luctor et Emergo generates feelings of near hysteria on the MUA Fragrance Board so it was with a bit of trepidation that I reached for it at Aedes in NYC to try. I had no idea what...

Like so many others, when I first trie POTL, I was NOT impressed. I thought it was weird and didn't care for it at all. But every now and then, I would apply a little bit of the sample I had,...

At first smell I was almost intoxicated (in a bad way): too much incense, too strong an effect. Ten minutes later, I was taken. I find this fragrance comforting and intriguing, like almonds and...

This is the first time when I click on "most helpful" they are almost all very negative. I think some people love to hear something so lauded is overrated, I think people might want to hate this...

I really, really like POTL. I seem to get mainly sweet almondy woods, with just a touch of something spicy in the drydown, sometimes morphing to a sweet-woody-hay scent. I honestly don't detect...

Absolutely overrated. This has the sweetness of Sweet Oriental Dream, but none of the spice. The sillage is ridiculously low; I have to bury my nose against my wrist to smell it. Notes for me...
