Agreed with @StrawberryKitten also, you could try some pherotines (only $18 so you can try 2 for the price of one regular size phero). Each phero has an intent, but your results may vary depending on your chemistry and your natural vibe. For instance, Empathy Potion on me is on the emotional and vulnerable side, while SWS is on the other side of the spectrum, where I get calm authority but not much closeness from it. But depending on your chemistry, you may experience things a little differently, although they will generally follow the descriptions. Open Windows is going to be lighter and brighter than Balm Bomb, for instance. One that hasn’t been mentioned that might be worth a try is TMI or True Confessions if you really want to get your patients to open up and talk about what’s wrong (they might talk too much though! 😊) also, thanks for your service during this difficult time!

Good point. For some reason I thought SS4W has cops in it. Haha, that guy didn’t know what hit him! I can just imagine him standing in your wake holding a roll of paper towels thinking,”What just happened??”

Welcome @Vika! Like you, I find the pheros fascinating, and have also fallen in love with the scents! @androstenol you should write about your experiences! I would love to read stories about how you’re using pheros and LPs to boss it up at work. I’m trying to do the same thing.

Whoa, I had no idea LFM was more sexual than Classy Dame/SS4W. I wear LFM to work! I guess it could just be an individual chemistry thing, because it doesn’t seem very sexual on me, just kind of...femininely powerful? I don’t even think it has cops? I’ve only worn Classy Dame a few times in Luxurious, but I don’t get the “I am a straight up queen” vibe I do with LFM. I feel a little more chilled out, not in a Balm Bomb way but more in an effortless, “I don’t care what other people think” way. But nothing as dramatic as the selfies with LFM. But also ordered a pherotine to experiment more with it!

Also the label is the absolute cutest! If the scent doesn’t make you smile the label will! 🐷

I usually don't slather obsessively, but I have been with this one! I've only had it for a month or two and it's already 1/4 gone. I think it's because this isn't so much of a scent I wear out as a scent I just wear at home as a comfort and cheer-up scent. It’s bright fresh green apple on a pillowy layer of coconut. It's also unexpectedly great layered with LP Black. Six months ago, I would have told you that LP Black didn't work for me...now I'm realizing I just need something sweet or fruity to tone down the resins a little.

I still haven’t completely figured this out. Sometimes Aja smells dirtier on me, sometimes it’s just powdery sweet honey. It’s definitely not vinegar or cat pee, but sometimes it’s dirtier than I should wear out in public. And sometimes it changes on the same day! Maybe it’s just my nose. On the spectrum of dirtiness from Creamed Honey to Oshun and Ogun, this is in the middle. More powdery than the deeper honeycomb of Sugared Honeycomb.

Do it! Do it! I need to stock up my LP Original and some pherotines. And there are like a bunch of other things on my wishlist but I can’t decide...

For what it’s worth, I don’t like wearing masculine scents (anything that’s too green or musky or just smells manly) and this doesn’t read masculine at all. It’s more floral than anything, kind of reminds me of one of the florals on the 2011 cats collection.

This is the perfumey version of a fizzy pineapple cocktail with a flower garnish. The pineapple note is full-bodied and true - this isn't just pineapple juice, this is big chunks of fresh pineapple. There's also this "bubbly" or "fizzy" quality I'm getting - maybe it's the grapefruit? And there's what smells like a well-blended floral in here as well. The rest of the notes round it out so that it's a perfume, not a cocktail. The drydown is a sweet, powdery musk. The perfect summer fragrance, sweet and light, so you get wafts of pineapple as you move. I could see this going well with something with a-nol: something about the fizzy pineapple makes me think of the type of drink that tastes so good that you're tipsy before you know it.

@Eggers wow, this is one of the most well written and comprehensive posts on this forum! This should be added to a stickied thread because every newbie needs to see this! @NickGabryel I’m still a relative newbie, but this thread was really helpful for me on breaking down what all the different ingredients in a blend did: And to understand the blends, I zeroed in on one at a time and read the review of it in the Unscented Pheromone forum. Everyone has slightly different results and different tips for what worked for them, but after you read a few pages you get an idea of the effect of phero and things you should watch out for. And if something doesn’t work the first time, don’t worry. There are so many other factors in play: mood, how much you applied, your body chemistry, etc. Test something a few times and have fun!! Definitely the most important part. 😊

Haha maybe I was reading too much into it! I was pretty sleepy when I wrote that post. 🙃

OMG, I was just checking my phone before bed and just realized that these are all innuendoes! I can’t believe it took me so long. The label art was too distracting. 😄. I remember thinking, “tunnel of love is an odd name...” And then I saw “Thatched cottage” and “pink pearl” and was like, “ohhh! I get it now!” You ladies definitely got creative! My favorite is “Petticoat Lane” because it sounds so innocent and ladylike until you really think about it.

These labels are absolutely beautiful. There’s something very real about the art, like these are people I know or have met. And I love the diversity! That is something I’ve noticed with this collection and last year’s pherotine collection- you always make the extra effort to have diverse representation in your label art, even though I’m sure it’s harder to find those images. Thank you! ❤️

@Chocolatechip06 Welcome to the forum, and I’m glad you’re enjoying your new scents! I found LPMP last year and was blown away too. LP Red and Pink are also some of my favs! If you haven’t ordered the sampler set yet, you totally should, it has a bunch of classics and really helped me figure out what I liked. https://lovepotionperfume.com/collections/sets-specials/products/best-selling-sampler-set-for-women

Thanks for the rec! I’ll have to check it out.

This is lovely! Sweet and bright, but there’s a depth (from the amber) and the creamy vanilla blends in and rounds it off. This is brighter and fresher than the old Raspberry Chiffon to my nose- the older one is more jammy, but it’s also a lot older. It has some of the “happiness in a bottle” vibe if LP Pink. I find it hard to imagine anyone objecting this scent. Creamy sweet raspberry and Charisma, what’s not to like?

I finally got this to work for me! I layer with something sweet and innocent, almost as a base. It really brings the sweetness and honey out and tones down the resins a little, which on my skin are “HI I’M A RESIN. CAN YOU SMELL ME? WHAT DID YOU SAY? LOUDER??” 😊 Also, this layers really well with fruity fragrances that might be a little light by their own. It adds depth and I like that fruit + resins combo.

Wow, this one packs quite a punch! The spicy almond just about knocked me out at the beginning. It’s so strong it almost feels alcoholic, even narcotic with my nose up too close. A few feet away, though, and it’s lovely and how I would imagine a very classy antiques shop in the 1800s might smell. Lots of dark woods and spices from faraway lands. There’s something fascinating about it that makes me keep sniffing my wrist though. I smell this amazing spicy woodsy scent and bring my wrist closer and closer to my nose- and wham! The almond gets me right in the kisser. I don’t get any cream until way into the drydown, and don’t get any ylang at all! So maybe it’s travel shock since I only got this about a week ago (thanks Eastwood!) But testing this was so much fun that I had to post it. I love how LPs take you on a journey. It’s like reading a book in scent form. I never wore perfume before I found LP - it just didn’t interest me. But every LP I’ve tried, even the ones that misbehave terribly on my skin, has told a story, or evoked a feeling, or transported me in time and space. Magic indeed!

I’ve been wearing this a lot recently- with the heat wave this summer, it can get a little too hot for my mainstay foodies. This is such a clean sweet honeysuckle, and I’ve found that it layers beautifully with dirty honeys! A lot of honeys go a little too dirty on my skin, but the honeysuckle adds a brightness and clean feeling that keep the honey sweet and just innocent enough, while the honey adds depth and dimension.

It's hot and I'm wearing cool scents. This goes on cool and very cucumber-y, almost crystalline, but once it dries down the sugar comes out and takes it to another level. There's something so sweet it's almost buttery, which reminds me of the buttery candy note in LP Pink. Maybe this is the blend of sugars? I thought this would be more like lightly sweetened cucumber, like the crisp sweetness of a fresh-from-the-garden cucumber, but once it dries down, this is like cucumber candy or cucumber ice cream. On my skin it's almost a gourmand cucumber. Ive never smelled a gourmand cucumber before and now I can’t stop smelling myself!

I really like the fruitiness of this in the vial and how it goes on. The red currant is really nice and "bright", but well blended, not tart. As the red currant burns off, it's very perfumey, probably the most "perfumey" scent from LP I own. It's pleasant, but I'm not always in the mood for perfumey perfume, if that makes sense? The drydown, which I can only identify as "perfumey smell" (haha, very discerning, I know) reminds me of what happens when you take all the perfume sheets from magazines and put them all in one drawer, so they all kind of blend together. Can't comment on the phero right now due to social distancing, but no dramatic selfies. I'm getting a bit sleepy, but I've been a little sleep deprived lately so I think the phero is just amplifying that.

Got my package today!! Trying to avoid sniffing too much before it’s gotten a chance to rest. But I can already tell I’m going to love everything!

This is simple but very pretty. This makes me think of someone very sweet and innocent, like a turn of a century ingenue who is the ward of her benevolent great uncle and goes for walks in the apple orchard. The apple is stronger at first but fades and the lily of the valley comes out. I like layering this with something a little fruitier to bring out the apple.

Now that I’m at home a lot, I’ve been experimenting with all my random TVs and sniffles. Travel shock strikes again! When I first smelled this, it was super green, almost astringent. Now this is so different! It’s not green at all, it’s fruity and clean, with the coconut rounding things out. Something about the clean but sweet drydown reminds me of Lady Frost. It feels like you’ve just taken a luxuriously long shower at a fancy tropical resort, and you’re lounging on the balcony, looking over the beach and enjoying the ocean breeze.
