    Aurora

    I'm not a huge fan of lavender and definitely not milk/butter/cream + amber, but this meld is really soft, so the whole fragrance just clouds me with comfort. It's good for a home-spa mood to drain the day's negativity.
  2. my fave! Put teakwood in anything and I'll probably have a love affair. I wanted fruity and bright today as I thought I could handle being extroverted. Paradisi sounded green, but Teakwood grounds this a whole lot - and I need a lot of grounding, so thank god This comes across to me as close to the waters as a small boat tied down to the beach shore not full on salt-in-mouth lost-at-sea I braced myself for ⛵ Sun tanning is as far as we're going today, folks
  3. Petals of Silk is a more feminine version of Vardo to me. Love it! They share Sage and Blackberry, must be why. I am loving this! And what do you know - an hour in, I'm online shopping for loungewear ... I must be wishing to feel even more fabulous and comfortable! Truly the work of LFM

    Petite Baie

    This is a journey within one inhalation! At first, I was mystified. "Ooh, this smells exotic.. which is not the tincture of Summer I want this year.." And then after, "Omg! So Sweet but fresh!" Petite Baie somehow avoids being *too* fresh So perfect - I'm going to make summer meomries with this scent. It's not green, either. I'm not into green scents right now; that's a phase on its own. I don't think one can go wrong with Petite Baie
  5. I've found that one thing which makes me look totally crazy.. My roommate says she watched me from across the room put Zakura on, take a big whiff, then sigh and totally relax like a junkie. Now she's afraid to get hooked on LPMP This is my first day back from a 3-month pheromone break, and I definitely feel the jitteriness! It was teetering on a caffeine fix, but I was still in control, so all good I felt pretty professional in Zakura. Sweet - strictly from the floral Cherry Blossom - but queen~like from Myrrh. I love any floral or feminine blend I can wear Cedar in, too! It's such a masculine note that when added subtly, it gets that protective vibe out there like a Mama bear behind her cub. I feel strong and powerful without being overt. Sweetgrass turns out to be a fantastic add to Cherry Blossoms, providing green backdrop to soft and beautiful, pink flowers.
  6. Unintentionally - Day 1 of pheromone use again after 3-4 months of probation by health! :D Let's see how it goes

    Zakura + Perfect Match

  7. I've been in the mood for some orange scents.. I wonder why that is

    I never like orange scents

  8. does anyone check out http://scentury.com? perfume stories!

  9. Welcome SugarKitten Cute username! Are you experienced with oil perfumes or artisan, or mostly commercial? We look forward to reading your reviews.
  10. This smells like a newly opened package of animal crackers to me, which I love! I spilled more than I expected out of the trial vial and I'm not complaining. I love how much more the graham cracker comes out to balance the lemon because I'm rarely in the mood for strong orange~lemon. Butterscream Lemon is perfect, unique against the other gourmet scents since I'm more often in the mood for a snack than straight up dessert or bakery (I don't frequently feel I've earned sweets until I've completed some grand project for the week). This will be a wonderful pickmeup. Besides, this brings back memories of working with kids or being a kid eagerly awaiting snacks being passed out during elementary school. This energizes me. FB without the calories, plz!

    Boo Berry

    I'm really loving the balance between all notes. I don't feel any are too strong or easily distinguishable and sometimes I really just want berries, but not BERRIES. This is called coherence Sometimes I just feel kind of dark, kind of lonely, like whenever I have to walk in the cold by myself but I have dessert with me which will warm me up
  12. I am thinking the same thing! I'd love this on a guy, but I love it on myself just as much. I'm a huge fan of oak and this fragrance doesn't overdo it on the spice. Sandalwood and Vanilla do fabulous in rounding the sharper notes out. Smoke is that 'extra' whenever I feel like sending a message, or just a touch of badass. love.
  13. I wear perfume to bring my mnd to the present moment, not to relive a memory

  14. instead of feeling emotions, put on perfume instead. incessantly distract yourself

  15. I'm sorry but I want to chime in and side with StacyK on this one. What you described seems very similar to ODing on me. Go with your gut. It's not a regular feeling you get, and I've plenty of times doubted something was due to pheros until a repeat episode would happen (usually for me repeat episodes are even worse, something like accelerated immune response). Sometimes we want to like a phero or wish we could handle a certain dosage, so we rationalize.
  16. All I can say is I'm glad my serotonin levels are perfect. I am fine by myself I do notice I'd rather not ever feel obsessive about anyone ever again. It's so nice to be content. Being in love in a rather disturbing way is not pleasant. Boo low serotonin levels...
  17. I'm super into apple scents recently and the color red. happy February

    Totem: Elephant

    What an incredible community LPMP is. Thank you so much for reaching out, you guys!

    Totem: Elephant

    I shall miss my sample when it's gone... I just received this as a freebie. This is exactly the aquatic scent I have been looking for! Most have either been too lotus-y (sharp), green, or masculine, or too emphatic on a single note for me to last a full bottle (I'll get 1/4 of the way through). Totem: Elephant captures the exotic oasis scent I have been feeling in the dark for. Reading the notes, I wouldn't have thought aquatic, but now I remember that elephants like to play in the water and drink through their trunks There's a wonderful balance with the berries, grapefruit, and tea to provide feminine wear to this. I like niche fragrances and more unisex notes like Sandalwood, so Totem Elephant including an equal touch of sweetness meets my expectations. If bottles were still available, this would be my go-to scent everyday to work. I'm noticing I like a lot of Mara's 'African scenery' scents. She does so well with the exotic notes and sophisticated balances! I'm really immersed in the experience. I can tell I'd make good use of a full bottle whenever I keep opening my sample to sniff, and whenever my sample is gone within weeks.
  20. Oh my goodness, lavidacabo, that's an incredible story! So many couples would love that last chance at flat-out honest communication. Sometimes I think of beta-androstenol as that "open door." Other times, since it pushes the truth out quite quickly, it can also show you that open door as your way out
  21. I didn't get a unisex feel to Totem: Lion at all :S I love this! This totally matched what I imagine African deserts to smell like. I do get this regal sense of calm, assured, control, like lions surveying their pride and territory, which makes me want to pair it with SWS pheromone blend. I get more of the Sandalwood, Musk, definitely Saffron, and from what I researched on KARU KAROUNDE, I think I can vaguely pick it out as an amazing bass note. It's earthier and deeper than Musk in the 'dirty' department. It's the special ingredient in this perfume really tying this blend together as the African environment. Neroli and Thistle make this wearable as feminine, to me. It re-assures this blend as unisex, also giving a clean and refreshing feel to the dry and hot environment. And I'm glad there's not much Cedar amping on me, just a touch to ground me with its woody aroma. I always like Cedar, just not more than a wisp. I don't want to easily pick it out in my perfumes. I think Totem Lion is a masterpiece. Smells subtly expensive and certainly that it will do what I need it to in the luxury department.
  22. today is a great day

  23. I tested Girl/Girl for the first time last night. I only had an hour or two maximum with it before I washed it off because I realized my goal was to cut back on pheromone usage as it taxes on my immune system. I get sick easier when I wear it frequently, and I've just been getting over a cold and laryngitis... In retrospect, after jumping back on to pheromones 2 days ago with my usual dose of 4 sprays Perfect Match, I have a sore throat again. I think I'll have to wait a long time before getting to wear any which is proving difficult. It's an actual addiction for me now I'll try for 55 days. I need a real reset. I wore this out to crawfish dinner with my partner with the funny idea that since he's so much more of a fashionista than I am, is generally neater/cleaner than I am, more design-oriented, likes shopping for clothes and makeup more than I do, and pays more attention to instagram and trends than I do, he might enjoy a more girly/bff side to me. The funny thing is: I think this opened up his snarky side wider than it made me act girly Selfies were still present, though I paid more attention to the waitresses, what they were wearing, their moods, and generally more positive thoughts relating to them, but apparently I'm not a girly-girl. Girl/Girl revealed my highest valley-girl potential to be below-average lol It did, however, definitely diminish my usually more direct behavior. The sad thing is I don't feel that I evolve with pheromone blends, so Girl/Girl's performance tonight is probably how it's always going to be for me from now on. It's not like I learn to handle blends better as I try them or change how I react to them. The only molecule I've had minutely diverse results with is beta-androstenol. My partner showed me this 'best friend' side to him, chatting with me as his equal, not as as my mentor. He wasn't as romantic, in fact was a bit more fast-paced, fun-seeking. If I'm ever in creative-project mode, I'm going to wear this I didn't feel a rush of energy, as if DHEAS could be the first ingredient, simply more possibility-oriented. We both appeared pretty centered, but warm enough to think more on bonding. This blend is kind of mental for me, I guess lol
  24. wish I could wear pheromones daily with no health repercussions #addictivepersonality

  25. Black Velvet Pumpkin is LP Black dressing up for Halloween as its darker, sinister self, pulling all the stops. Me likey.
