I cannot put into words the excitement that coursed through my soul when I saw Buttercream Peach - I quite literally squealed with joy, lol. It's been on top of my wish list for a rebrew, tied only with Love Potion Carnival. Also super excited to see the notes for the Odalisque variant ! And Sunshine Brulee, among others.

Okay, this is so beautiful ! I'm obsessed with Mara's lavenders, especially the gourmands. I think that this might be my favorite of what I've tried & loved so far. In the beginning, it reminds me so much of Lavender Buttercream OCCO. Creamy, rich, delicious vanilla & lavender. The drydown, on me, is a powdered sugary lavender vanilla whisper. I've never tried Treasured Hearts before...I had a trial or two in the past with it, I think ? But the scents before didn't work for me...but this phero put me in a super relaxed state ? 

Way more than Balm Bomb, even. I was having a rough day but this made me feel content & so relaxed, it made me tired. I don't think that it was an OD type of thing, even though I did slather & touch up...but this was pleasant. Not ' bleh ' tired, more like deep meditation, relaxed tired. I just found it interesting ! Can't wait to wear it around people to see what effects there may be.

Anyway, travel shock & all, I'm already so in love with this scent that I ordered a full bottle, even though the plan was to test them all first, to make one order. But nope, lol - this one is so gorgeous, not even going to risk missing out. This will be amazing with Lavender Buttercream OCCO, OCCO White, or Beth's Blushing Milkmaid.

Close...but no. 😉

Ooooh, so this might be juicy / fruity ? If I'm allowed to ask that, lol. I'm very curious about this one too, because Topper is one of my top 3 ( no pun intended, ha ) fave pheros, & I've never gotten a chance to try one scented. I'm not usually into unisex scents, but if this is on the fruity side, it's most definitely getting added to my list !

AHHHHH !! SO excited about this ! I assume that Queen Bee is the new phero ?? Cannot wait ! So excited for Beachy Peach....loooove LP's peach scents, & Lace is my fave phero ( well, aside from Topper & Levitation ). Bubblegum Bettie, the wait for those notes just might kill me 🤪 So excited for the return of Leibchen, too - missed out on that last time. This is all so exciting !

@StrawberryKitten What about cinnamon? 

I personally did not detect any cinnamon whatsoever ! Also, to update...the long drydown of this scent pushed it to the top ( so far ) of my list with this collection ! It morphed into a vanilla sugar type scent & it lasted crazy long ! This will 100% be a full bottle for me. Probably Friday, when I get paid.

This was a FB purchase, because from Body Paint to Bare Trap, when LPMP comes out with a gourmand lavender ? They are always a winner to me ! This was no exception. I wore this yesterday, pairing it with OCCO Lavender Buttercream & a spray of UN Gotcha. It is beautiful ! Perfect companion for OCCO Lavender...it actually sort of smells like it, to me ? Not completely, because the OCCO has aged & they are not the same notes completely, of course, but it is very reminiscent of it. It lasted a long time on my skin, too. 

Wearing this today & this is beyond delicious smelling ! I actually cannot detect a lot of banana in this ! In the vial, I can, not strong, but I can tell that it's there. On my skin, I think that it's serving to add creaminess because this scent is creamy - dreamy to the max. It smells like the creamiest, most beautiful vanilla, with a bit of coconut. I can't really tell if there isn't a lot of coconut in this, or if I'm not picking up a lot because of the extreme creaminess going on here. Either way, this is a stunningly gorgeous scent. This may be a FB in the future.

I'd bought a full bottle of this for my bride in the hopes that it'd be similar to what you described.  I'm so glad to hear that it sounds amazing!

 

I'm sure you'll both love it ! And it just gets prettier as the day goes on ! Just beautiful, soft, & so summery. Good choice going FB ! I wish that I did, lol.

Okay, so I got my package this morning & excitedly tore into it. Soooooo many beautiful scents, it was hard to choose which to slather first ! Yes, I am aware of travel shock, but I can never wait, so I really don't even attempt to anymore. This is the scent that I finally decided on, & OMG is this GORGEOUS !!!!! I love this every bit as much as Buttercream Peach ! It actually reminded me a bit of that one at first.

It starts as the juiciest, freshest, sweetest peach, with the honey, vanilla, & sugar in the background. As it dried down, the vanilla & the most beautiful musk come forward. This might be one of my faves ever, & I'm talking right off the bat, travel shock be damned. This will be a FB for me when I get paid next.

THEY'RE UP, THEY'RE UP! COME SEE!

And to answer the often asked question of the month, we are pushing the SALE this year to September - we will do it alongside the Autumn releases. 

Already placed my order & these all look SO amazing, it was super difficult to narrow down ordering just 2 FB's ( for now, lol ) & only trials of some others. I almost screamed with excitement when I saw that GoGo was a gourmand lavender. And another almond / cocoa butter blend ? And a pineapple blue raspberry ? These sound so beautiful, cannot wait to get them. 

I kinda dig the thought of the sale being pushed to the Autumn releases. More time to save !

I got a trial of this back when I ordered some Weenies, I think ? Put it on once & forgot about it, I can't even really remember what my initial thoughts were, other than " nice "....but I broke this out today, & I'm loving this ! It's about as bright & joyful as you can get. Juicy mango & grapefruit, & my favorite part is the tease of coconut in the background, you can tell it's there, but just barely. I kept thinking " Does this have coconut ? It has to " so I came here to look up the notes. To me, the coconut smells very ' coconut oil ' which is a good thing. I may have to spring for a fb next order, if there's any left. This just screams summer.

I’m having a hard time pinning down exactly what notes are coming through when it is first applied. Definitely sandalwood.  It is strong and long lasting (a good thing). More than twelve hours later, there is a true honey scent remaining— like as in smelling an open bottle of honey.  I don’t get much honey in the beginning though. 

This sums up my experience with this scent, too ! I couldn't describe it better. I've never tried the previous versions, only the recent variant, Odalesque, which I absolutely adore. This is nothing like that, & also nothing like what I expected, but that being said, I do really, really like this. When I roll it on, I get deep, rich honey & caramel ( I know that there is no caramel in it, but that's what I get from it for some reason ) but as soon as it dries down, it's that pretty, sexy honey / sandalwood that Eve described. 

I slathered this one maybe an hour ago, so I'll update if the long drydown is very different. I feel like with age, this will get much richer. I should also note that my bottle is virgin, because I have a few different pheros in mind for this & wanted more options as far as that goes, so mine could smell different because of that, I suppose ? 

Something about this drydown also really reminds me of the vanilla - honey LAM. So far, I'm liking this a lot, & cannot wait to see how it ages. 

I wasn't around when this was a thing before, so I can't compare it to the previous versions, but if they were anything like this, I 100% understand all of the raves ! This is GORGEOUS 🥰 I slathered this one right away when I opened my package yesterday ( I know, I know...travel shock - but my impatience always wins out ) & this is definitely high up on the list of the LP variants that I've tried so far. I get a lot of honey soaked grapefruit, & while cocoa butter usually pulls super rich chocolate on me ( which I love ), it serves as a creamy background here, no cocoa smell from it in this, but it's so beautiful & unique. Then of course, that beautiful LP base. And this was first day, travel shock, etc, so I can't even imagine how gorgeous this will age ! As far as Charisma, I love it in Raspberry Chiffon, & I love it in here.

It's nice having a new vehicle for Charisma. I went full bottle on this, due to the raves, & I'm so glad that I did ! In fact, I may eventually toss a back up bottle in sometime. I have a feeling this is going to be one of my warm weather go to's, because this scent + this phero ? Definitely a spring / summer happiness in a bottle scent. 

Already made a small ( for now 😛 ) order ! SO excited that I not only get to finally try Odalisque, but that you gave us the option of un - pheroed, THANK YOU ! This is the first time that I ever chose that option, because as much as I adore BI, I would like to switch between LFM, Classy Dame, & possibly Gotcha, if it vibes with it. Also decided to go FB on LP Gold because of all of the raves. Super excited for these !!

AHHHH, I * finally * get to try Odalisque ?! And cannot wait to see what Beach Baby is going to be made up of ! Loving this scandal / breaking news theme like mad 🥰 It's been a super stressful day & this definitely made it better

I think Perfect Match may be a good one to start with, as well as Girl/Girl (if you haven't tried that one already).

Agreed 100% with Perfect Match & would also like to add Gotcha as a suggestion.

Wild Cherry!!  Highland Fling. Odalesque as a virgin formula. Red Wine Chocolate Coffee sugar scrub.  (I don’t recall it’s exact name)  So many gems that would be incredible 💕💕💕

HUGE second for the Wild Cherry beg. Also digging the virgin Odalesque idea.

This one is a gorgeous scent ! It smells very strongly of lavender at first, but as after it settles for a bit, the sweet marshmallow comes through, & it's just soft & luscious ! My son is the one who used this first, lol. He wanted his bed misted in this. This one also has my favorite charm of the two that I got...don't get me wrong, I love the rose quartz charm too, it's beautiful....but this one is so dainty, more my style, & purple is my fave color, so it's more my jam, lol. I love these sprays !

I absolutely LOVE this ! I used it as a mask refresher, for me & my son's....and spritzed some on my clothes. The scent is as yummy as any of Mara's pink / cakey scents, & for me, personally ? Something about it reminds me of a light version of Double O ? Just my perception. This leaves a beautiful, soft veil of scent, & it lasts a long time ! I misted some on my shirt around 2;30 today, & my shirt still has that light aura of pinky deliciousness, even right now. I also love how these spray - Just a gorgeous, perfect mist. I love the charms, too ! I kinda hope that Mara makes this a thing from now on, because I feel like these would be PERFECT during summer, on those hot, sticky days where regular perfumes just feel too heavy, or maybe for work, since these are noticeable, yet very light. I can see these not bothering people who are usually sensitive to perfumes. 

This is beyond delicious, WOW ! I'm so torn on this, because I want a full bottle SO bad, but I feel like, when can I really wear this when Fall is over ? I know that you can wear them whenever you want, but I can only do Fall scents in cooler weather & unlike Odalesque, which feels ' year round ' to me, Bare Trap is very Autumn...that being said, I feel like I'll cave in the end & this will be an exception that I'll be rocking all year, not caring how out of place I smell 🤣 This is very spicy pumpkin on me, with a background of the most luscious bakery vanilla, & as it dries down, the lavender makes her presence known. It sounds like such a weird combination, but I think that it ties together beautifully. I get the same " different scent close up " effect that some of you are getting, I thought that I was losing my mind until I read these reviews 🤣 On me, I smell that amazingly delicious bakery vanilla with just the smallest hints of spice & lavender from afar, & the strong, spicy pumpkin up close. As far as BI, I've only worn this inside, but the main thing that I notice with this phero is the energy boost, which I can certainly use lately, lol. It also just seems to put me in a pleasant, content mood. This is a winner for sure.

This is GORGEOUS !!! Not at all what I expected, but better, even, & with Mara's perfumes, the bar is always heaven high, so that is saying a lot, lol. I never tried Odalisque ( still salty with myself for that one ) & expected this to be very gourmand, but it's not, which is very okay, because whatever this is, I looove. To me, the musk / cocoa butter / vanilla / almond is dominant. The smoothness of the cocoa butter with the sexiness of the musk is super unique & just beautiful. I agree with the poster who said that the almond gives this a lotion like quality. To me, this doesn't smell like a perfume, it reads as a very high end lotion or body oil. I couldn't wait until I could afford a full bottle ( yesterday, YAY ) ....this is up there with my favorite potions for sure.

Well, my credit is card is toast, I can tell that without even seeing notes, lol. Love Potion Candied Apple ??? 😍 I never got to try Odalisque ( or LFN, for that matter ) so I'm looking crazy forward to seeing the notes in the variation & possibly scoring some of that. Like everyone already said, the labels are nothing short of stunning....as usual ! Cannot wait to see the notes of these !

This one makes me so happy when I wear it and I think it affects other people around me too. As most people have said others tend to be nicer with the LP varieties. Lol

I reach for this when I'm in a bad mood. I love how the amber and patch ground this one from being too cloying. It's such a beautiful scent and I am not a pink girly scent fan.

LP Pink has the same effect on me ! It's deliciously scented happy juice, especially paired with Lace & some DHEAS. It also goes great with Topper, Cougar, Open Windows...so many pheros, & it pairs beautifully with almost every OCCO that I have too...OCCO Pink ( of course, lol ) OCCO White, Lavender Buttercream, Orange Droolicious, BMM, OCCO Ambrosia....so many options with Pink 🥰

Throwing my hat in for a rebrew of Love Potion Gold.  

It's exquisite and I'm not EVER using up my last sample bottle. I used to mix the little sample bottles with epi and Dominance and convert them into a lightly scented spray. Was great for work and respectful social situations while I still smelled ultimately feminine. I know we have several variations on this theme, but this one was ....very special. 

 

From the threads of the 2013 rebrew :

Our delicious signature base of vanilla, amber and patchouli is blended with the golden sheen of honey and glittering with bright citrus notes – pink grapefruit, orange and lemongrass – plus a luscious slather of cocoa butter. Seek your heart's desire with this playful, upbeat yet thoroughly feminine fragrance which always leads to that greatest of treasures…LOVE!

 

VANILLA ~ Aphrodisiac, inspires happiness, playfulness, sexual arousal, lust, vitalizing.

COCOA BUTTER ~ Lightens emotions, evokes feelings of love.

AMBER ~ Fertility, love, luck, riches.

HONEY ~ Enticing, seductive; use to bewitch a straying or hesitant lover.

PATCHOULI ~ Soothes and uplifts, sensual, sexually stimulating, lust, fertility, money.

PINK GRAPEFRUIT ~ Refreshes and uplifts the spirit, eases exhaustion, beauty and youth glamour.

ORANGE ~ Strong 'magnet' to attract men; eternal love, marriage, fruitfulness, thoughtfulness, happiness, tribute.

LEMON GRASS ~ Lust, increases psychic powers.

 

PLEASE consider !!

That sounds gorgeous !! I've never even tried that one & I'll still second this plea, lol. I tend to really love the different versions of LP, & this sounds exquisite.

Hi, everyone! I'm writing to ask advice about which phero blend(s) to try in the workplace.

 

I start a new job in the medical field next month, and while I know my information solidly and do well with memorizing facts, I have social anxiety and struggle to initiate and maintain conversation. Evaluations have agreed that I project patience and intelligence in my work, and that's a good start! But I also wish to connect with others and to communicate approachability, compassion, and safety (especially during these difficult times).

 

I'd like to use an unscented phero so that I don't run afoul of rules against perfume, and the blends I'm considering are Balm Bomb (to calm/soothe both others and myself), Open Windows (to be more approachable and maybe help others feel better), Swimming with Sharks (since it's specifically a workplace blend), Savage Beast (calm, trust, and respect sound good), or Empathy Potion (which the website says can be made on request).

 

Can anyone speak from experience or intuition, to recommend one of these pheros over the others? While they all sound great, financial constraints limit me to choosing one or two! Thank you for reading this far and for any advice you have to give.

I would definitely go with Balm Bomb or Open Windows !
