I’d love to agree with you because a deep seated cause and effect situation is literally my favorite thing in life and how I understand, cope with and manage every facet of my day to day existence with all the difficult people I’m surrounded by. However in this case I have seen sooooo many nonsensical, non scent memory, subconscious clue situations with his broken sense of smell that I know it’s just him indulging his stunted sense of smell. My whole life is ruled by smell so I’m positive on this. He’s exactly the same with his extremely poor facial recognition skills. Will insist to the death that we are watching Morgan Freeman and try to offer proof. I’m like okay dude that’s Bruce Willis and he was once in a movie with Lawrence Fishburn. You’re thinking of Lawrence Fishburn. Then I’ll have to walk him through his broken steam of associations on IMDB. I can say this is true in these two situations because they are two of my strongest talents in life and also two of his worst. He knows and accepts this now and will now just ask me. If you knew him and that he’s more convinced of his inherent rightness on every topic in the history of the world ( even stuff he knows nothing about) than any human I have ever met, you’d take my word for it. In just these two specific arenas, he’s so bad and nonsensical that even HE acknowledges it now. Only took 17+ years but we got here. I’m sure there is an association there down deep like everything in life but scent? You will never figure it out in a logical way. Neither will he.

That’s okay Snoop said lover with a straight face in another thread. So I’m validated enough for one day. My SO could not wear this. It smells feminine on me but also it’s powdery enough that I would not ask him to try. I don’t know if you remember that story I told once about how incredibly fucking stupid his nose is, that he once walked in and started speak shouting about how the whole house smelled like “POOP!” Then elaborated that it was very specifically like a big hot dump in an old lady’s bathroom? Well that charming imagery was conjured up by him smelling a beautiful upscale floral with a soft unobtrusive powdery element to it. So NOTHING with even a hint of powder goes near that weirdo.

Who? Oh you mean my lover? Eff him he gets nothing. Other than my undying passion and emotionally charged affections.

That sounds like a lovely combo. You can always try with a scent locket too. I am guilty of forgetting that option fairly often myself despite having a lovely assortment of them waiting to be used.

And I’m the worst of the lot. But I just sneakily enabled myself under the guise of enabling you. That’s some subversive ass bullshit on a new level even for me.

I’d definitely stick with the regular UN which is 1x. If you want to amp up how hard it hits, how widely it diffuses try getting 1X in a spray. I recommend 60/40 alcohol/oil as it’s the best of both worlds. Oil lasts longer but stays closer so a more intimate vibe while alcohol sprays hit harder and farther out around you. 60/40 gives you a great balance of both. A case can be made for either form with a phero like LFM but I for one love it in spray form especially as it is one that can really spur hits/favors/discounts/special treatment in public from strangers. It’s a great social for me and I get better selfies from it in spray form as well. Of course all of this is personal preference and others may have different preferences or experiences, but tons of the customers I help have similar experiences. You really don’t need the 2X or 3x unless you wear so much that you are speeding through your bottles at an inconvenient rate. If you were leaving the country or were going to otherwise not able to order for awhile that would make perfect sense. But it’s allllll personal preference and there are no wrong answers. Though if you were wearing it THAT much at high dosages I would likely warn you to take regular breaks and rotate other blends. One you can become immune if you wear something too much, both as far as selfies and hits go. And also I find blends to be most effective when not worn every single day as people can get so used to that phero signature that it can kinda kill hits as well.

Thanks to trying this on for Snoop last night ( after an exhaustive search) I discovered I love it! So thanks to both of you! Trying hard to figure out if I’m going to make another sale order.

The technical difference is that 1x ( regular full strength UN) is 1000mcg per bottle, 2X is 2000mcg per bottle, 3X is 3000mcg per bottle. So yes just the actual strength of dose. How that difference translates for you specifically can only really be known by you once you try them. On paper it would just mean if you wear 4 sprays of 1x you would just need 2 sprays of 2X for same effect. But since sometimes more equals less reactions or not as good reactions or flat out being ignored I would suggest sticking to 1x unless you have Worn it so Many times and at a wide variety of dosages that you are positive a stronger one is a better more logical fit for you. You can ALWAYS add more if need be but once you have too much it’s much harder to correct. You have to scrub off, make sure you are removing completely ( alcohol or witch hazel) and if that happens away from home you are left with too much or none at all. But if you know you require a higher dose than most people ( like me) and you want to get the stronger strength to make your bottle last longer then that makes perfect sense for you.

Well I’m a total freak in this regard. Not only do I remember every one I have ever smelled ( and every perfume in general going back my entire life) I could always blind grab whichever one I was thinking of just by position in the box ( and I have a lot of boxes). And they don’t have labels. But last year MrsChrissyRez came to visit and I didn’t even realize it at the time but she took ALL of them out and made giant piles. Like things she wanted to try, things she had, things she didn’t like, things she wanted to buy. So as a result ( again without me realizing ) she put them all back Willy nilly, having no idea how much this would screw me up. I still haven’t fixed it, and I know where lots of things are now but I’m still kinda lost in general. The upside is that sometimes I pull out stuff I have not worn in a long time and was definitely not looking for so some times it’s frustrating but sometimes like this week, I’m just going with it and wearing random things I have not worn forever. But more often I’m in a specific mood so very soon I’m going to take the time to organize them all. It’s just a massive project and they all live in about 5 different places and even in different rooms on different floors of my house. But I found some boxes I’m thinking about getting on amazon. Just have not had the mood strike yet and my brain is unpredictable so I never know when the right mood or motivation will strike.

I love it too! And I changed my order around yesterday to buy a bottle instead of one of two others that I thought I loved more. But wore them all again and knew I really wanted this one more. It was a surprise creeper for me!

I FINALLY figured out my sale order. It’s always always more complicated than a regular order because of my discount ( not complaining ). So I have to order odd amounts of things. And at this point this many years in I’m soooo picky about what I buy bottles of. I get every sample we release for my job so it’s always bottles. Then this year was really tricky because I always smell all new releases before ordering them ( for 8 years now) but due to the shorter sale this year and the fact that most of my order were new occos i had to order blind and it really really threw me for a loop. So my order is: OCCO Buttercream Lavender OCCO Mocha OCCO Lemon Buttercream OCCO Creamy Almond Coquin ( last minute decision ) Ascension ( Also last minute) Chakra Heart all bottles freebies : Baby Boo Z-Day ( last minute surprise decision) and I’ll get my OCCO sampler and my mystery box! I am actually sooooo excited about this order. More excited than I have been in several years

It’s the honeycomb!!! It adds depth and a different kind of rich deep ness without being drippy and super smutty! One of my favorite notes and I think it’s underused. When I started here over 10 years ago Honey scents were the BIGGEST thing. But trends shift and favorite notes evolve and are kind of cyclic. Honeycomb is the bomb! Honeycomb Musk is one of my favorite things ever like in Lost Highway and my first PE Angelique.

This is one I definitely associate with you. And Liz too. It’s sooooo good to see you posting reviews. Keep sticking around. It makes me so happy to see you here even though I can talk to you elsewhere anytime and do, I know how much forum members get from your posts and there is nobody on earth who can replace your particular voice. And boobs. Lol. Sorry could not resist

It’s freaking amazing and you got an amazing deal on it! All time fav of mine.

Thanks for the reminder. I need to dig out a sample of this. I do enjoy it, just not enough to buy a full bottle as I know I won’t wear it often enough to warrant that. I just have sooooo many now it takes a lot to justify it.

That’s very good advice Dolly. I think you can also add a dab of something grounding like one of the existing base notes too to ride out that initial part if it’s too much. In this instance I mean something like Sugared Amber. Just a dab to offset the bright sharp notes at first if they are too aggressive. This one has both sugar and Amber so while I have not tried that myself I think it should be pretty effective. You could also wash very gently to just temper that top note sharpness. When I do that I’m always left with the sweetest and deepest base notes kind of like skipping to long dry down. That method is definitely erratic so test accordingly but there are actually a whole bunch of perfumes I love more than just wearing them regularly if I do it this way. I need to write that down because I rarely remember that.

Forgive me posting this info in multiple places but I want to be sure that everyone sees this exciting announcement. Mara has just extended our Annual Sale through Sunday August 18th! Yay more time to shop! We are super super slammed and also short staffed so as a result Mara is doing even more than usual with less help. The mystery boxes are taking longer than expected to put together which is no surprise since this is our first trial run doing them. Mara is doing them all herself and as usual putting so much care and attention into making them exactly right for each customer💗. They are going to be truly amazing and well worth the wait! Please please do not send multiple emails or messages about an invoice request or email you have sent. We are absolutely getting them and are getting to them as fast as possible. We will absolutely get to you but please don’t expect the same kind of turnaround or response time as during regular non sale times. The more emails you send, the longer this takes for everyone. Of course if you need to change your invoice, please do send a new email. If you have product questions, need help choosing things etc please email me, not the shop. Invoice requests go to them, product questions and other customer service issues go to me. You can tag me in the Facebook chat group or email me at: lpfragrancescustomersrvc@ymail.com the other email listed for me in the sale thread is fine as well, they both go to same box. Enjoy the extra shipping time! And if you have not bought a mystery box, my insider tip is BUY ONE. I know what is going into these babies and it’s crazy good.

I think that’s perfect for you! I remember when you were redoing your house and started splurging on really nice linens and self care stuff and how great it made you feel, so this seems perfectly apropos.

Yes! Any guys who specifically ask for a Fall scent- this is where I steer them first. Although I think it’s wearable in other times/seasons it’s just so evocative for Autumn.

Ooh I never smelled this one. Sounds lush and heavenly.

I totally agree about how unisex it is. We have a lot of male customers who love Carny.

This made me laugh cus I’m a total Taurus through and through and was comparing myself, yep great kisser, yep good at that too, yep, then oh hell no I would never fuck with someone cooking me FOOD.

Bumping for sale! I’m bumping this for the guys. It’s certainly unisex. I’m a ginormous carnation lover and other unisex carnation LPs are among my all time favorites but for some reason this one poses a masculine energy for me. It does have a spicy clean vibe but as carnation often does to me it reads like an expensive super complex Parisian high concept niche fragrance. I think the black tea tips it into boysmell territory for me. There is a touch of sweetness. This is like get blackout drunk one night stand with a handsome stranger sexy where you wake up wondering what happened then you smell the pillow where he slept and all the scandalous details come flooding back.

Bumping for Sale! truly truly scrumptiously delicious! A great alternative from traditional fall scents but still perfectly cozy for crisp days and chilly nights.

Bumping for Sale! sexy, elegant, sweet, soft, ultra feminine and fun and playful. Grown up fruit. Delicious
