I have been dying to try this scent for some time, and I was thrilled when it showed up at Halloween! I was afraid of the dreaded Play-Doh accord that some have noted, so I tried it some...

Like Maller, I too was caught unawares by Luctor et Emergo. At first, hearing the notes included cherry, vanilla and marzipan/almond, my gourmand-crazed heart went all pitter-patter and I rushed...

Good thing for my wallet, I did not like it at all. It was pungent, and I did not get any almond (I love almond notes). In fact, there was a strong medicinal and pungent greenery scent to it,...

Wow this is an amazing fragrance, but it's so difficult to explain. I received a generous sample from La Creme Beauty. I sprayed on the EDP in the store at about 5pm and I could still smell it on...

I'm always on the hunt for unique fragrances, and each time I come across one, it almost never agrees with my skin chemistry - this one is different. POTL may very well become my HG perfume. It is...

This is an all time favorite fragrance of mine. Perfect for Fall and Winter! Almonds, cherries, cedar, a touch of cinnamon. Long lasting and wonderfully sexy. Love it!

Hands down the weirdest perfume I've ever owned. I cannot decide whether I like it or not, and I've had a decant in my possession for over a month. Everytime I think I want to swap it away...

I dig it. Not so sure it's worth all of the hype, but without the hype I probably would never have tried it. So unlike anything else I've ever liked before. I had to give it a chance. It does...

This is it and has been for awhile! After reading all of the reviews here, I had to try it. Now, I have my unique "chemistry set beaker" and the beautiful scarf it was wrapped in. Of course, it's...

Alas, the much-talked about POTL is not for me. Granted, I wasn't sure I'd like it given it's cherry accord but I was wholly unprepared for its drydown. Quel horreur! It began with a strong cherry...

I have to say that Luctor Et Emergo has a lot going for it. 1)Mystique and exclusivity. 2)The BEST name ever. 3)Excellent "sillage" (on ME, though others say they don't get sillage from this...
