This one grew on me very quickly. The almond note is wierdly strong (like bitter almond extract) at first if you apply too much in one place, but softens quickly to a marvelous and subtle...

Unfortunately, the Asian men in my country are too polite to ever comment on any fragrance a woman wears, but if they could I'm sure they'd all be drooling over this warm confection of almond,...

After sampling both Lea and Extreme, I bought Lea first because it was cheaper. But I scored a generous decant of the X in a swap, and after a couple wearings, I was hooked. Both Leas have their...

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.

Bought Lea when it first came out and this is the version I bought and I hated it. It was thick with vanilla and chocolate. Not what I wanted. Well I retested the Lea and the Lea extreme version. I...

This is an update from another review I made for this scent. I have come to love the smell of vanilla in perfumes and when I first tested out Lea I tried the Extreme version and it was not for me....

The jasmine never comes out on my skin in Jala St. Barth until maybe an hour or so into the drydown. Before then its all lush, honied tuberose and orange blossom and pithy, almost neroli-like,...

This sister scent to Lea is lush, pretty and feminine - it's one of the few florals I like enough to own. It's a simple blend, but so is Lea, and both work beautifully. This is one of the most...

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...

Apparently this has almost the same notes as the original Lea, but the substitution of light musc for musc and the different blend evoke a dominant chocolate note that's slightly powdery. To me...

I finally got to try this after being disappointed by the non-extreme version, and being utterly bessotted with Dream Esscents' version. It is nice, no doubt, but I cannot imagine spending $100+ or...

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...
