Just got back from Amsterdam, and by chance came across the POTL main store near the Van Gogh museum. It was a splurge to buy this scent, but cheaper than here in the States: I paid 84 Euros, which...

Having used my samples from LuckyScents for a week now, I agree that this is a scent that grows on you. Initially it is my Grandpa's pipe, all cherry toabcco sitting on your skin. As the day...

I am like everyone else who got samples and was not so enthusiastic at first. But with several sniffs I changed my mind sampled, sampled, sampled and became entranced by what is POTL Luctor et...

For over half a year now I have been feeling blissfully immune to the POTL epidemic. Some happy accident of olfactory receptors made me perceive it as pleasant, but hardly worthy of the heart...

POTL is truly gorgeous. Deceptively simple on the surface, which I have found time and again to be a hallmark of exceptionally well-composed, harmonious compositions, this intriguing fragrance...

This scent is quickly becoming a holy grail fragrance for me. It does smell of cherries & almonds, but in a grown up, sophisticated way. The lasting power of this fragrance is amazing and the scent...

POTL is all cinnamon and amber on me. POTL starts out on my skin as the most wonderful cinnamon. It then changes through an amazing drydown, to an amber scent. If there is any...

I ordered a sample of this scent just to say I sniffed this very pricey scent. I did not think I would like it, much less love it. The minute I put this on my skin I was in trouble. My husband took...

I think of POTL as a cashmere sweater on a cold day - comforting, beautiful and down right necessary! Okay, maybe not necessary but certainly a welcome luxury. With my chemistry, POTL is a...

I have to agree with lucyschnoosy's review. This smells like incense. At first, it smells like cherry incense. Cherry disappears after 5 minutes and I am left with incense. POTL is a *pleasant*...

I've tried a fair amount of fragrances, and liked a fair amount of fragrances. However, from the minute I dabbed this on my wrist, I felt something develop that I had never experienced before......

I bought two samples of this from Luckyscent. So many people go crazy over this, I had to try it. On me, it was just dry incense: no cherry, no almond, no sweetness; no thanks!

POTL Luctor et Emergo is the most unusual, fascinating, and addictive fragrance I have ever smelled. It's a dry, woody blend, with cherry, almond, vanilla bean, and resins. There is a spicy...

I got a sample of this from Lucky Scent and actually didn't care for it at first sniff. Then I smelled the dry down and was intrigued. I sampled this again and was in love. It seems everyone has...

I was so excited to try this so I ordered a sample from luckyscents. Given the price tag of this one, I'm glad that I did not even come close to liking it. I didn't hate it, but I find that it...

This is the scent of the Crusade. It is church incense mixed with the worldliness of the exotic foods and scents of other cultures. Even a non-fan would have to declare Luctor et Emergo...
