Lea St. Barth is a light egyptian musk, vanilla and almond scent, beautifully blended. The almond dominates on me. Lea is the best of the drydown of Hypnotic Poison. I agree with careerlady that...

Strong powdery vanilla, with a hint of almond in the beginning. Soft and cozy, along the lines of Etro Heliotrope, but I prefer the Etro because it isn't as musky/powdery as Lea is on me.

Pleasant fragrance. I definitely smell almond but not a strong almond smell. Faint and nice.

I LOVE almond and vanilla scents. Lea was kinda blah. Although a very pretty scent, it seemed kinda ordinary on me. Smelled like a candle.. a really soft pretty candle. I wanted this to wow me and...

Sadly, Lea is one of a few perfumes that does NOT work with my chemistry. It turns to one note on me, and that note is ammonia. The first day I wore it to work, one of my coworkers sniffed, made a...

Well I love almond, vanilla and musc so I was bound to like this very much. I'm getting almond more than anything else, the vanilla is there, giving it a warm, comforting slightly sugary feel,...

When first applied, this perfume is a mix of vanilla, almond, and baby powder.You know that accord D&G Sicily and Feminine have that takes baby powder into the realms of *babies* too? There's a bit...

I got a decant of this from the exceedingly kind Rosie0000, and I am glad that I didn't buy this unsniffed. My skin chemistry brings out a very plasticky/rubbery note on application, and it stays...

Meh. I don't see what all the fuss is about. The almond topnote smells syrupy and synthetic. I must admit the drydown is pretty comforting--a soft, powdery vanilla--but it's so light and a bit...

Lea went on like spicy black cherry cordial chocolate candy, mixed with vanilla, almonds, hazelnuts, and light Dutch cocoa. I wanted to eat my wrist! After awhile, a lovely white muskiness began to...

This is a powdery almond scent. The vanilla adds some creaminess, but the almond stands out, and something else that makes it just a tad sharp. I feel like it prickles the inside of my nose....

Lea is a soft sweet vanilla chocolate scent to me. My review is based on a decant. While I find the scent to be appealing, it is not a fragrance that I want on myself. It is a fragrance I might...

Lea St. Barth is one of those fragrances you fall head-smash in love with the first day you wear it, knowing full well you’ll be bored with it by the end of the month. But hey, I could be wrong....

I didn't think I would like this, but I kind of do. I agree with other reviewers who compare it to clouds and marshmallows. It's also more almondy than I thought it would be, less vanilla. I like...

Lea smells like Garden Botanika Almond creme. I can see why it could be mistaken for a vanilla scent, since it smells a bit like vanilla scents ought to smell, instead of smelling like "nothing,"...
