Its predecessor, Luctor et Emergo, is anything but boring, and, while not appealing to all, is truly one of a kind, unconventional creation. Needless to say, A.Maze came into existence faced with great expectations and hopes to demonstrate the same amount (if not more) of creativity, innovation, and edge. But let me be more specific: A.Maze does not disappoint. I’m still at the point of evaluating it’s amazingness factor but one thing you can be sure of - it is not a maze. [...] […] A.Maze is the second fragrance that comes to us from the hip Dutch fashion house - People of the Labyrinths.

POTL plays games with our skin big time. I really must sniff play-doh soon to see what people are talking about. :) March, I agree. POTL plays games with our skin big time.

What I meant to say is: I believe there is a skin-chemistry issue with POTL. On some people it smells as envisioned (grasses, flowers, woods) and on other unfortunates, like me, the smell turns into a dead ringer for Play-Doh after 30 seconds or so (for the first 30 seconds on me it's rather nice.) There is nothing inherently wrong with the smell of Play-Doh. It's somewhere between bread and rubber. But it's not a smell I'm looking for in fragrance, whether by accident or deliberately.

So nice to see you here! :) I've been neglecting the cream, too. Must go dig it out! Hugs back. Hi, R.! So nice to see you here! :) I’ve been neglecting the cream, too. Must go dig it out!

Your blog is beautiful, Ina! I do not like the POTL fragrance at all. There is something in it that makes my skin crawl. But...I love, and I mean love, the body cream. Ooh! Your review makes me want to run home and slather that stuff all over myself, it is that yummy. Hugs! Hello there! Your blog is beautiful, Ina!

I fell for the hype and purchased this even though the sample vial didn't wow me. I figured I would grow to love it. I mean, all these sophisticated hipsters wear it, it must be superb, right? LoL! Where am I now? I don't love or hate it. It's a nice, cozy comfort scent in the winter. But I am mad that I paid so much for a scent that I never grew to love. Dang all that Pottle chatter on the boards! I don’t know which camp I fall into. I fell for the hype and purchased this even though the sample vial didn’t wow me. I figured I would grow to love it.

It has such an amazing lasting power, too, for a body product. Carolyn, I totally agree with you on the body cream! It has such an amazing lasting power, too, for a body product.

LOL! I haven't smelled POTL on anybody but myself but what you're saying makes sense. So, you're saying you have to be elite and hipster to pull it off?
