belle-ville

On the bf, the blueberry faded really quickly and as it dried it became very very spicy woods. As time went on, the words became more prominent and the spices less so. Fairly similar to totem beaver, but it is deeper and earthier.

We use Benzoin tincture in the NICU, we sort of paint it onto the skin and it allows things to stick. It is tacky. It smells like a medical sap. Sweetish, rubbery. Hard to describe, really.

I love this so much and the levitation is actually working for me! I'm perky and just maaaaaasybe I put on too much bc my pulse really went up.

 

As for the scent, its delicious! It smells like my favorite fruit, sugar apple/anon. Sorry, don't know if it's the ylang that I'm smelling, because I'm not sure what that smells like. But this really smells divine! It's soft, with a fragrant tang, sweet and creamy. Mmm! Oh, I really don't get much spice. I did get a free whiffs of licorice but it is not strong. The only problem is that it does not last at all. it's unfortunately gone within two hours. BUT the levitation is not, hence the possible OD.

So. Much. Blueberry.

 

Painful blueberry.

 

I'll have to give this a fair shot on its own later. I can tell the bf will not allow this one.

Where are all the spices I'm smelling in this? I totally got straight up allspice at first. Like AHE w lumina! Now I'm getting a hint of apple and more woods but now I'm really confused! I hope it smells earthier on the bf. I make masculine smells smell so feminine. It has great throw and I can tell it's going to last a long time.

This is so masculine on me!! I'm loving it. I don't even know how to describe it. I don't smell smoke yet... If anything it may be a touch of very clean, clear smoke, more airy than smoky. I also get a hint of the allspice... It DEFINITELY is elegant. A sweet, clean musk with just a touch of vanilla and allspice. I think i don't know what sandalwood or myrrh smell like loooool. MUST put this on the bf. I may also have to go full bottle but we will share!!

Hum. About an hour in, this is getting more feminine. Probably too feminine for him to wear, but I'm still going to try it!!

I wish I could have had the bf try this one too! It sounds really nice.

Eta: I derped!

Omg. I can't wait to try this. I'm SOOO excited I got a bottle in the trade forum!!

Ugh Bella that is such a crazy setup. It was raining here in atl so I'm guessing they didn't want to get wet. Ugh ugh ugh.

WELL. they decided not to leave it at all due to "no secure location" which is BULLSHIT because my front door is super fucking secure since I'M HOME AND WAITING FOR THE DOORBELL TO RING

So I did this, this morning. But it's sunday... We'll see what happens. I'm not sure if they deliver on sundays. I'm more miffed that someone can pay for priority shipping, which offers tracking, and then your package not be tracked. For days!

I know this is an old thread, but not only is it frustrating, but isn't scanning/updating a sort of safeguard to make sure the packages are kept track of? I have had packages say "estimated delivery [yesterday]" and a few times where it stays like that for weeks after my package has been delivered. Is it laziness of the workers, overload or is scanning not expected at every junction?

Ugh I just want to know when to expect my package.

You might be one who needs a stronger dose of pheros to see effects. I don't get anything from any phero enhanced fragrances. It takes a lot of the UN scented pheros for me to get hits and selfies. Just start playing with the dosage. And take notes!

I was thinking along the same lines. Sneaky clean is a very powerful scent, I think I'd have to use like 1/6th of what I normally use with other scents

 

As an oblivious CBF gal myself, I need to work on this too LOL.

don't bother... No wrinkles!!! Haha!!

Welcome N7. Wow, you've already learned so much it's like you are a seasoned veteran. Enjoy the smells!

 

Florence was awesome. While eating at a lovely place for dinner one night called Ristorante Za Za (still open and I definitely recommend), my Brother and I were helped with the language barrier by two young local ladies sitting at the table right next to us. Good discussions turned into them taking us on a little bit of a local dive crawl followed by smoking something weird on one bridge while looking across the Arno river at the Ponte Vecchio. They treated us to a very fun night ;-)

 

Just a great town to check out. Some places just give you that 'feel.' Florence gives you that 'feel.'

LOOOOOL we definitely didn't get any of those types of treats!! I'll blame the testing bitch face I own and my innate state of complete obliviousness!

Venice is super beautiful and unique, though a little on the small side (you can probably walk anywhere on the island within 20-30 minutes) and also super touristy. Definitely worth a visit though! Those cities are all on my list of places to go (Venice is the only place I've been to in Italy), except maybe Naples because I heard it can be a little sketchy now haha. Italy's such a lovely and historical country! I hope my one semester of Italian will be of some use when I'm there haha.

Well it was me(28) and another young girl (24) and we felt safe enough in Naples. And on the language bit, it's a bit different for me because I speak Spanish but everyone spoke English!

I'm studying in Venice! I'm definitely planning on a weekend trip to Florence though! This is a dumb question, but what does gf stand for? (gluten free was my guess...?)

Yes, gluten free! Florence is so nice i'd love to go to Venice... I went to Rome, Florence, and Naples/Pompeii. So lovely!

I've only tried h&s and it makes me more lovey. I love life and people when I'm wearing it.

I just received this beauty and I'm in love. It's like being lifted onto the clouds via a bed of marshmallows I smell juicy, fresh off the orchards fruit and then I get lifted again with the levitation. Dang I think I'm high on this because I feel great.

Ooooh, did I never mention that this is my jam?? It's also very juicy/fruity to me, lots of cream. I wish I was wearing it right now to better review it. I do wear it all the time, though. One of my coworkers liked it so much I gave her the last little bit of my sample since I scored a bottle on the trade forums. Mmmm ~^.^~

No selfies for me though

I can't wait to try my sample of this! Such anticipation.

 

Luckily I've developed some appreciation of it since I'm studying abroad in Italy next semester, and the coffee culture there is amazing!

 

Where in Italy are you studying?? In Florence there is a big farmers market behind the leather market and in there was an older man who makes the most unbelievable caffe lattes I had in all of Italy. PS to the other gf girls on here--Italy is SOOOO gf friendly! Don't hesitate for a moment to go.

Well this is freaking delicious. I know I'm 5 years late to the party. But omg this is wonderful. It's sweet , non-sticky honey musk for me. I don't smell strawberry... It's almost incense-y. Apparently I love oakmoss too! So glad I got this off the trade forum! Ty Katz!!!

ETA: a few hours later I've realized I'm getting faint whiffs of strawberry, after all. Amazing!!

OW, and slamming doors

 

I wore OW for a couple days around the BF and his crew last week. There's usually a fair amount of tension and drama around. I found him to be more calm and open with communication on a level that's not normally there. I also noticed that my communication skills were much more fluid. Some light was shed on a long standing situation with one of the crew who has been cleverly manipulative for years. While this woman was making jokes and laughing at the BF's pain and suffering from a previous relationship,in front of me and others, he remained calm for far longer than I would have ever anticipated. After having a spat with me he spent the night restless and hurt thinking about the years of underhanded, knife in the back, situations this woman had a role in and resolved to fire her. It was a painful process for both of us but the end result is that the *itch is gone and he was able to handle himself in a much more calm manner than usual. He apologized profusely for me having to take the brunt of his frustration, feeling bad about it but also realizing that if I had not been there, if he had not said some harsh things to me, he would not have came to the realization that this woman has been a source for so much strife for years. Our argument had nothing to do with me but was a result of the hurt this other person was inflicting.

 

I spend a lot of time around these people and consider them family, I'm aware of how much tension there is between them at times. Normally my presence alone keeps things a little more upbeat so my thought was that a little OW would simply boost that vibe. I never anticipated that things would turn out the way they did. Though the story is far more complex that I could write about, my thought is that OW may have helped bring an end to a bad situation. The "everybody is happy" vibe never occurred, but it seemed everyone was much more relaxed and understanding of what transpired, the BF seemed to handle the situation without being publicly explosive, and was far more capable of direct, heartfelt communication.

What you're describing sounds like men... talking/thinking about their feelings?! It's like rewriting genetic code!!

 

Glad you could put an end to a negative influence and now I have to try it.

Welcome! Take lumina into consideration, too. It's my favorite so far, but mainly for the selfies. Youre gonna enjoy your order either way!! The scents here are to die for. Also the social blends may get you attention in a non-overly sexual way, which might be more in line with your natural personality. Lfm sounds perfect... Not too sexual so you can use it while you're out!

 

Just remember, cops aren't really appropriate for a night out on the town, they are too sexual.

I got a sniffee of this and loved it as well! It has great staying power and is absolutely not too sheer to wear on its own. Not too sweet, either (another sugared scent actually gave me a monster migraine). Just sweet and youthful enough to be fantastic.
