Any idea why not many people has reviewed this? I like it the minute I opened up the vial.

I didn't get any cucumber nor musk. I thought it was iris when wet and lots of rose after dry down. Very beautiful and soothing scent and reminds of me Stella McCartney's Nude. Picture this ..... picking flowers in a white chiffon dress.

Hi Icing, welcome back! Yes, don't remind me about the financial destruction part of this new addiction!

My nose really doesn't agree with this one. I find the citrus a little too overpowering. At drydown, it turned powdery. It's like an airfreshner.

Soft, flora and I actually sensed smoke ..... I'm really not good at this.

Hi Azaezl, Welcome to the forum. What scents didn't work on you? I'm waiting for my first order to arrive and I'm waiting for a forwarding address to put in my second order. Cheers, JOC

Hello Kristy, A big welcome to the forum. I'm certain you'll have a great time here. JOC

Hi Newgirl84, Welcome to the forum. Have fun! JOC

My children & I take out the goodies and go 'ohh' and "ahh" .... then "smell this"

Hahaha ..... unfortunately, my colleague's not matured (aging required ... Lol) enough to pass off as "James Bond" ... sigh!! I'm sure he could do the handcuff thingy. I'm waiting for the OCCOs to arrive. It seems like a good starting base so I ordered one bottle each (except for Blue). I have a bottle of Beta Leather & Beta BI but I'm wondering if this is the right choice afterall.

I love the 'tan' look when I was in Middle School so I would go to the beach every weekend. Once I painted my nails black and overheard the sarcastic remark of "So the sun got to your nails too, huh?".

OMG ..... no more shopping, please!

This one caught my attention when I was sniffing around. It's just unique, dry and straw-like. Coming from a country with limited land, this is something which I have never experienced. At drydown, it turned into a very soft and slightly powdery scent and disappeared within a hour after application. Guess this is something I would wear when I want have a picnic in the fields. I would imagine that I will be in a pretty sundress, a huge straw hat and go barefooted.

Hi Dimitra, A big welcome! I'm certain you'll have a wonderful time here! JOC

I can't believe that I have already hoarded 30 full bottles and close to 80 samples within one month. I was in a buying frenzy. A colleague of mine has agreed to help me bring my next order back. This means I will be able to save on my shipping cost and plough the money into 3-4 bottles of scents. So, drum rolls, please ...... A set of new monthly release (since I want to try 6 out of the 10) LP Red LP Black LP Sliver LP Pink LP Original Betrothal Potion (x2) Cougar scented Beta cougar Entire set of LAM I haven't decided if I should get any of the following unscented pheros OP, TH, H&S, SWS and TC. I have a sample spell kit on it's way to me and I might add a few bottles to the above order. With so many wonderful smellies, I hope the box will not be hijacked. With this order, it should more or less complete my collection ...... for the time being (wicked smile in the background) .....

To be honest, I really didn't like it when I opened the bottle. It was so sweet and funky smelling but I told myself that I must try it out. On application, I had exactly the same kind of feelings .... how can I do this to myself? And I was ready to wash it off. Boy, am I glad that I didn't! The sweetness mellowed down soon after and the scent disappeared very quickly (within 2 to 3 hours) so I had to reapply at the same spot. I've never tried such scent before (I always stick to fruity and flora scents) and I think this has given me some confidence to step outside my comfort zone.

This one smells lovely in the bottle. Flora with green notes. However, on application, it smelt like shampoo. Afterwards, it flipped between shampoo and "Fa Soap". Got to blame it on my body chemistry. This is not for me.

I like this one but will only wear it when the sun goes down.

I'm so happy for you ..... I'm still waiting patiently for mine. My very first order. I bet I will smell like one too. "D" day shall come ...... patience ... !

Thanks paganlady!

I guess my preference for cold weather has got to do with my childhood/upbringing. I've been surrounded by beaches (though not fine white sand and clear blue water type), sun and swimming pool so they are not something which I go ga-ga over (although I do miss the latter since living in Shanghai). I've never gone skiing, I've never been on a long train ride, I've never been on an interstate coach, I've never experience a sand storm, etc. So many 'nevers" but then again, I have done many things such as like diving in many places, trekking in Nepal, visiting the DMZ, driving along the Great Ocean Road, etc and now, pheros!!! I love Europe and maybe it's because I've been there many times (as compared to the US). I mean in the US or Europe, when the locals tell you that such and such building is old, it's ancient in my terms/country. I love to walk around to explore the place and this is something I cannot do at home. I've only been to Hungary and Czech Republic so one fine day, I shall return to the Eastern Europe. Don't get me wrong, I love my country and I am proud to be known as the citizen of X. The milestones she has achieved over such a short period of time .... I wonder how XXX foresee and mapped it out.

Thank you to Calii, LadyRose and piratical dahlia. I'm sure we'll be talking soon!

My daughter & I are having lots of fun smelling and testing the scents already. Actually, I am kind of glad that I'm stepping out of my comfort zone. It totally suprised me on what can smell great. Thanks for your offer. It's so sweet of you. I've been reading quite a bit on special education recently. I've stopped reading novels after having kids. It's just not possible, particularly with the stressful educational system here in Asia. Therefore, another debate with a dear friend of mine on why XXX can produce great people while YYY can't ..... Lol. We'll have to continue when we meet up as emails and phone calls are not effective. BTW, I have to let you know, I'm a wimp when it comes to needles. I had to hang on to two bags of saline when I went for an emergency c-section 8 years back. I have to hold on to whatever's available at hand when I go for blood test. It's funny, no?

Thank you ... sometimes I think if I'm really insatiable. I mean there are so many things I have not done, see or experienced. I had a brief discussion with a friend of mine on the difference in the grey matters of an Anglo-Saxon and an Asian. I know there were a lot of sterotyping and this can go on and on, like there's no tomorrow.

Pretty and sweet on application then to a light flora scent. My daughter loves it as well.
