Moon Bloom

I decided to wear this for the past couple of days (to work and at home). I have a sample vial and put it on the following areas: a swipe of the stick between cleavage, a swirl around the belly button, a swipe on the back of the neck and a swipe on the back of each of my wrists (far enough down that I would be waving my phero/scent cloud in my and others faces as I move my arms around, but just high enough that I wouldn't wash it off when washing my hands). I never seemed to get much in the way of self effects with open windows, but I can't believe how amazing I feel when I have this on. It's like no one can pull me down out of my happy place no matter what. I felt a constant awareness that I was blessed and that everything was always working out in my favor. People were super friendly and coworkers were especially agreeable even when there has been tension previously. I could wear this every day, but I don't want to put it's effectiveness at risk. Besides, there are lots of pheros/ fragrances to choose from. BTW, I love the scent. Just a quick note, I think that knowing how much and where a particular potion is applied is invaluable to newbies and others. Even if we need to experiment to find our own sweet spot, I think it's really useful when experienced members post their experiences and their usage. Just a thought.

Synergist, I hope it means target guy because that's what I was using it as! It really is great stuff and hope it works for you.

I wore this to go out with a bunch of people from school. I put a couple of dabs on the crooks of my arms and a dab in cleavage ( I was using a sample stick. It turns out that I need a lot more than 20 mins. for dry down of cops! Scented cops in particular. At the very least I need 40 mins for the scent to become pleasant. Is that normal? (I don't wear cops very often for this particular reason. Who has time to lie around with nothing on and no one near them so that you don't get the funk on your clothes (or hair)? I get a little time to myself every so often, so I put it to the test when I got the chance and...wow! I went to a pub to meet up with friends. At the start I was kind of shy as usual and I said my hellos to the people gathered there. I sat beside one of my friends in order to ease my way into the evening and because... well... she's my friend! At one point I went to the ladies room and when I came out of the stall, my friend was there (for her own reasons) and we started talking and talking...and talking...IN the washroom. Then one of the other women from our group comes in to use the facilities and she too started talking. I know women are known for their group forays to the washrooms, but this was very unusual for me, especially when the younger one (not the friend I sat beside) starts telling me how she felt really depressed because she thought I was so amazing looking and it kind of made her feel bad about herself when she found out my age and that I'd had a baby. I told her that she was pretty awesome herself and that she shouldn't sell herself short. We continued talking and she said how glad she was that I was going to be in the same program at school with her all the way through (as there are very few women). She was so sweet. My friend was pretty chatty too. It was just a mini ladies love fest in the washroom! Weird, but felt good to connect to them so well too. We finally head back upstairs and sit back at our previous places. One of the guys is totally obnoxious to everyone female. My friend and a friend of hers get up and leave. The young girl and her boyfriend get up and leave a little while later (not because of the guy, just because it was getting a bit late). Someone else from school comes into the pub and sits right beside me. At that point there are about five people plus myself left at the table. We're all talking and obnoxious guy made me cry (although I got up to go to the ladies room promptly so that I wouldn't have any witnesses. I won't say why I cried, but it was definitely a legitimate reason). When I got around the corner to go downstairs, the guy who sat beside me appeared at my side and asked if I was ok. I told him what was up and he said I should confront the other guy about it. I told him I had already done that numerous times. He said he was going to go have a talk with him. He was very concerned and acted very protective towards me. The Est I guess. When I pulled myself together and went back, obnoxious guy just stopped what he had been doing so, I guess whatever was said worked. Frustrating that it had to be another guy to get the message across though. After a short while and some really interesting discussions and general good times with the other people, it was time for me to leave. I had two guys trying to get me to allow them to walk me home as I was about a 10 min walk away. I chose the completely sober one who had asked if I was o.k earlier. On our walk back he was a complete gentleman and a really nice guy. I wasn't really looking for anything beyond our pub night so, fortunately, the cuddlebunny didn't lead to what the cuddles eventually lead to... and no, there was no cuddling either. All in all, Cuddlebunny seems to have some pretty dramatic effects on some people I know and others behave just a little differently than usual. I like it. I can defintely see this being a great phero blend when in a relationship with a man, but it did come as a surprise to me just how much of an effect it had on the ladies.

lol Awww, c'mon. What man doesn't love such uplifting topics of discussion and such flattery? Thanks for the warning. I'm hoping that I don't do that to anybody and that no one does it to me! Positive intentions all the way... Calii, you're right. Experimenting is the way to go. Can women get sample sizes of men's fragrances and blends? I tried to search for it, but it only showed full bottles. That may be a little too much for me. (O.k., I just discovered that I have been overlooking them in the sample section in the gift shop, but I scrolled all the way down and didn't see Weapon X as a sample) I agree...

Does this ever happen to you in that you say way more than you ever wanted to while wearing this? I guess it's all about state of mind... and state of confidence.

So, Im reading posts about what members hear from others when wearing this (and True Confessions), but not too much about what the wearer is giving out. Does that mean that most of you are just really good at "policing" what you say? Just curious because I haven't got any seriously heavy b-nol blends yet (closest I've come is PM and that's not as much I'm sure and it doesn't make me say too much, just a little bit chattier).

Just a quick update... Thanks to all of you wonderful ladies, I have been entirely successful in making the break! YAY! I can honestly say that my focus has been changed dramatically in the last few days. I can be anywhere near him and I don't feel like I want to be with him because I can now see that his behaviour is not what I want for myself and that I am deserving of someone who is going to want to be with me (and my daughter). Beccah, the military man could be a good choice, but there aren't many of those where I'm at. I think I'll just let the right one appear whenever they're supposed to. I'm just going to go with the flow and enjoy! I also want to mention that a change in phero blend has probably helped with this change. All Hallow's Eve with Lumina has been great for getting me out into the rest of my life! Very good times socially and helps me to get to know new people. Love it! Anyway, thanks so much again! It's a great thing when women's collective wisdom saves one of their own from needless suffering and stupidity!

LV, I don't know how recent this was, but I hope your son is doing alright now. I can't imagine what a mess I'd be if my daughter was bleeding all over the floor. This blend is subtle, but amazing. As with all of the scents and phero blends, I try them in the privacy of my apartment before lauching myself out into the wider world. All Hallow's Eve seems like one of the scents that I've been looking for. I love the Autumn and Hallowe'en and this scent brings that to mind, but not in such a way that would exclude me from wearing it at any other time, just that it makes me think that I can't wait for that time of year to roll around because I have the perfect scent for it! The first time I tried it I think I put too much on (so that it was shiny with wetness on my skin as opposed to a mere sheen). It turned the skin on my forearms and cleavage a bright pink (I must be sensitive to something in it and that's happened with a few of the spicy scents). The second time I tried it, I went a little easier on the application. I applied a "sheen" to my forearms about 1 inch x 1 inch per arm and a sheen to my cleavage (about the same size). This I did with the side of the sample vial stick. This seems to be ideal for me (and not just for this blend, but for others as well, except for cougar so far. If I put on much more than that, it seems to make me disappear or at the very least have no discernable effect). I went to pick up my daughter from her dad's parent's house and her dad was there too. It seemed that everyone (the in-laws, only not really) wanted to be near me and talk to me and hug me. Including my ex. It took forever for me to get away. Wow! The next time I wore it, applied in the same way, I wore it to school. It seemed as if people that I barely knew were hovering around and talking to me in a comfortable way. One guy that I know a little bit sat with me and a friend of mine and when my friend left to get something, he started talking about travelling and some really interesting things came out of him. He seemed really comfortable talking with me and when my friend and a couple of other friends came over, he stopped "sharing". It was as if suddenly, he didn't feel so comfortable. I also have to say that I felt really secure in myself, calm, focused and happy while wearing this blend. Not to mention sexy! I think the apple and pumpkin pie spice scents are amazing. I kept sniffing my arms and fluffing my shirt. Yummy. When this dries down on me, it doesn't really smell like a candle, it just smells like yummy Hallowe'en (or Autumn) treats all blended together! I haven't asked at all yet, but my friends never seem to make any comments or observations about my perfumes. I just mention this because I read others posting about how the other people in their lives tell them if they like the scents or not. Note to self....perhaps should start wearing TMI so that they will reveal their thoughts on my LP scents. Hehehehehe!!!

I live in Canada and I think that mail should be delivered every day of the week, but heh! That's just because of my newfound LP addiction and it wouldn't help much with anything international! In fact, I would be perfectly content if we could all receive our orders in a beam me up "Star Trek" fashion. That's how much longing for my LP's I'm feeling. Now I'm really pining away for my order to arrive! Oh yeah! I almost forgot to add that I ordered a trial spray of Frosted as well. Can you tell I have a sweet tooth? Not that I'll be eating them, but some of those scent descriptions sure make me hungry!

I am waiting for my second order to arrive....quite anxiously, I must confess. It's Friday and it wasn't in the mail so, I must endure the weekend without my new potions! Wah! On the upside, I'm sure I'll get them next week. My order includes an unpheroed Darling Catalina spray (it just sounds too good to be true), a Darling Catalina in a beta spray boosted with open windows 1X strength (I can refresh the scent without ODing on the pheros if necessary or use the unpheroed to cover other UN pheros, WOOHOO!), Beth's Blushing Milkmaid in oil....sounds yummy, UN Perfect Match in oil, Cougar Potion in Spray (the scented one), Trial vials of Goddess of the Blue Moon, A Lick of Cream (swoon!!!), Happy Ending (with BAM hehehehe...), Passion in Pink, Shen Tao, and last but not least, Darling Catalina (with PP, the way it's was supposed to be!). I think I may have cornered the market on Darling Catalina and I hope like hell it smells good on my skin! I love cake and think that the possibilities for this as a cover are awesome. I may be able to layer some cops with it with Beth's Blushing Milkmaid if it's strictly vanilla buttercream (sounds like it would layer well). Anyway, that's why this weekend is going to be harsh. I can't play with my LP's....yet!

Welcome Khandi! I'm sure you'll love it here! The LP's are amazing....I need more LP's....more... I can't wait to find out what kind of scents/pheros you're interested in from here.

Welcome to the forum! I recently delurked too. You won't regret it. Everyone here is so awesome!

Very cool phenomenon. I like it! It's nice to have other people see you with new eyes once in a while.

QofS, I was trying to get to know more about him and using the PM phero blend (I guess the b-nol was really the thing that made him talk) was helping to a certain extent. I only wanted to be using it as a tool (as Luna pointed out) to talk with him more and get to know him a bit better and vice versa. I would never just go for a roll in the hay with someone. No one night stands for me...too many repercussions. As difficult as it is... I think I choose not to invest my focus and energies in something with such a risky rate of return! Thanks for the hugs Calii! Beccah, thanks for the reply. I think I've felt like I'm going to be a single mom forever and that it's an insurmountable obstacle when it comes to dating, but you know what? You are bang on with your observations... I definitely don't want my little one viewed as a "millstone" around anyone's neck. She's amazing and if I end up with someone...well let's just say, I always put her first and I always want her to feel that she is worthy, beautiful, smart and valued by the people closest to her (on my side of the equation anyway). Tyvey...six years! GAH! I would pine away into nothing! ok maybe not, but wow! Great for her that she was able to be free of the usual, what to call it?... drama, and it worked out in the end. I still think your advice is great and ties in very well with what Calii said about how much to invest. I think there are probably lots of things and people I could be investing my time in/on that wouldn't be wasted. I think I'll keep working on me and who I am and what I love: my daughter, my family and friends, school, LPMP writing, etc... That definitely wouldn't be a waste. So, if, as Liz wrote... and as Blue Bear says: and as Dolly and Luna pointed out, he's probably conflicted and seeing obstacles, then I have to say that I'm going to continue to wear my pheros, but with no particular focus on him (just on enjoying my life as it is) and if he develops any great clarity and happens to be a suitable guy for myself and my daughter great! If not, I won't have wasted any time/emotional energy in something that isn't going anywhere. I guess there are plenty of fish in the sea and some of them wouldn't mind "dating a family"! Thank you all for helping me to clarify the issue within myself. It's not always easy to do that alone. You ladies are amazing and have probably just saved me from a needless and looking like this in school . Thank you so much. I feel better already!

Thanks for the replies! In my estimation, you are all right. *sigh* I guess there is a possibility, but if he's that conflicted or inconsistant, I should just go about my life and not get too carried away. Tyvey, that's exactly what I meant when I wrote, "if he's interested in you, he'll let you know it". There won't be any mistaking. Great advice. Now if only I can get myself to heed it... or get up the nerve to ask him out, but I think that is far from my realm of doable. I am waaaay too shy! He may be interested, but... maybe not enough as he's not made any big moves (well not super huge anyway).

Oh yeah, I meant to mention that this blend seems to have a memory. That is, he responded to me in a way that suggested he had been exposed to it at that moment (for example, when he looked right at me walking into class (he never did it before)), but I was way too far away for that to be the case. It was as if the previous encounters, which were closer, made him behave similarly without the exposure to the phero. Is this something anyone else has experienced?

I love this stuff! I didn't think I would, especially after I tried it the first time. I thought it was too manly/woodsy, but I persevered (mostly because I wanted the phero blend to wear around my TG. Turns out, it was a good call on my part to keep trying it. I think it was the third wearing that really made me actually like it for it's scent. I don't think I appreciated the complexity of it right off the bat. I don't think I can describe it very well, but I definitely get a woody scent on my skin, and while it starts off a little sharp, it very quickly morphs into something akin to black licorice (which I hate BTW, but love in this) I know there isn't any black licorice in this perfume, but that's what it smells like to my nose. After a long while it turns into a really soft scent almost like Cuddle Bunny, but way lighter and has a barely there quality,but I know it's still there. The phero in this, Perfect Match, has been amazing in many regards. I have worn it quite a lot in the past couple of weeks and I have to say that it makes all of my friends more friendly, acquaintances seem to talk to me more, and my TG....Whoa! I wore it to a class and we had a small, in school field trip. My friends were waiting for me as I went to the ladies room and then we continued on to catch up with the rest of the class. When we had almost reached our destination, TG appears right beside me and we start chatting (not the most usual of occurrences). While our tour is going on, he and I made eye contact and I made an across the distance joke, which made him laugh (we had separated a bit by that point). Then, it was back to class and not paying any attention to each other (well, I shouldn't say that. I'm always aware of him even if it doesn't look that way). Other times I've worn it, we seem to chat a bit and I even caught him looking at me one day when I walked into class. This never happens. One of our classes, the teacher suggested people move up front to see what was going on and so he was right next to me. He could have moved back to his old spot, but he didn't. The next time, I sat next to him 'cause he was near where I usually sit and we chatted a bit and he tried to help me with some work at one point. He told me some stuff about himself and we ended up being the last people in class and walking out together chatting. In my previous experience, he was never so chatty with me on such a frequent, if sporadic basis. I attribute that to Portmanteau and Perfect Match, completely and utterly....

With a lot of the posts that I've read regarding hits when pheros are applied, and the fact that pheros are supposed to enhance what's already there (i.e. If someone doesn't dig you, they won't whether you wear pheros or not), I am wondering about my current situation. Perhaps some of you may be able to shed some light on a very confusing roller-coaster ride. Sometimes my TG (a.k.a "supercrush") is very distant, but other times he'll (should I interpret it as flirting? I don't know) be attentive (not in a physical way). It's been that way since day one, but after he discovered I had a kid, he was like *poof* gone...to me anyway. When I started wearing the pheros, Cougar Potion and Portmanteau (with Perfect Match), he seemed to return to his former pattern of being distant sometimes, flirtyish other times, but he's seemed to be very subtly trying to be in my vacinity during other times when we're in class and he's been having little conversations with me. He's seen me with my kid recently, he's heard me mention her a few times, but he still seems to find a reason to be near me "sometimes", but not others. Hence my confusion. He is quite a bit younger than I am. I guess my real question here is, are the pheros enhancing the fact that he may be interested in me (but there are too many obstacles) and that there is a remote chance that something could come of this or is it that the pheros are playing tricks on his brain and he doesn't really consider me to be an "interest"? I am so confused because with him, the "hits" just keep coming, but sporadically! I guess there's always the good 'ole standby advice: if he's interested in you, he'll let you know it. I keep thinking he is letting me know it....and then NOT!!! WTF!!!

Mara, Are there still any unpheroed bottles of Darling Catalina left? If there are, how would I order it? I don't see any unpheroed listing anywhere. I'm about to place an order and I wanted to get this in a spray without pheros and maybe one with pheros, but something like UN OW or UN LFM. Sorry if these are really basic questions, I just don't want to order the wrong thing... if I still can.... (I'm going to be ordering tonight when I have a bit more time). Thanks!

I wouldn't want to drive people away or ruin the LP's and their varied intents I defer to your wisdom and will refrain from messing with perfection. I'll just have to figure out what works best and when. Uggg! I have a lot to learn! I guess I'll be conducting experiments with "Far,Far Away" by itself really soon.

Does anyone know if you could wear Far, Far Away with something like Portmenteau? I know it sounds kind of strange, but I love Portmanteau (I'm going to review it over in the appropriate thread soon). I just don't know that I have as much confidence as I would like while wearing it. Would the phero blends enhance each other or be more likely to conflict/cancel each other out? The scents might be a bit weird together, but I could deal with that, I just want the best of both phero worlds! My TG responds unfailingly to the Perfect Match, but I need to feel "Audacious" in order to take it to the next level! If this wouldn't work, is there some recommendation of something I could try? I really don't want to lose momentum with this guy! He seems to hover in my vacinity and speak to me more, but I still can't get the nerve to be really out there. Help, please?!

Thanks PM, Dolly and Calii. I'm glad I got that whole cops thing cleared up. I will proceed to spray my hair with abandon (ok maybe not quite that much, but I won't be fearful of smelling like a "compost head"! ). I think I'm going to order a sample of LP Red so I can smell what all the hoopla is about! It must be awesome! I think I'll also be wanting an UN Cougar so that I can switch scents around (layer it).

So, I chose to try Cougar Potion (the scented one) as my first phero blend. It smelled so lovely and sweet in the vial. I put it on as a test to see what would happen to it on my skin and all I can say is that the grapefruit and sweetness blend together so seamlessly that it's hard to distinguish one component from another. I am still really new to all this so please forgive me for sounding like a novice. I expect that I will be better able to identify different notes/scents in the LP's the more I use different types. It stays smelling softly sweet after it dries, but the initial uplifting freshness of grapefruit almost disappears (not a bad thing from where I'm smelling from). The scent lasts for ages and ages. I love it! As for the pheros... I wore this to school for a lab class. I put on about a 2 inch stripe along each wrist/forearm (from the sample bottle stick) and a swipe with the side of the stick on either side of my neck. I read somewhere that "more is usually more" with this phero blend (I think it was a post of Tyvey's) so I put on more than I normally would have because I couldn't bear the thought of not wearing enough and getting no reaction my first day out with the LP's! I know I said I didn't have time for guys, but there is now a guy I have the hots for (is that who I call a TG=target guy?). He is the vision of what I find most attractive physically and he seems like a pretty nice guy (if a little young, but not too young!). Anyway, I go into lab and he's sitting 2 seats away from me. It was a pretty unseasonably warm day for my climate, but it was the perfect excuse to fan the pheros towards him as he was sitting there or as he walked by a few times. I used an assignment to fan my torso/neck area as if to cool off. I think this is like the shirt fluffing out maneuver. It proved to be pretty effective. I guess the heat helped with diffusion as well. To go back in time a few weeks... After a classmate discovered I have a child, it seemed that any friendliness any of the guys in my classes had been exibiting suddenly cooled off, hot guy included. Why, you may ask, would I still be interested in someone who disappeared like that? Because, I honestly don't blame any of them. Children are scary to a lot of guys (younger ones especially) and a lot of work. Also, while there were definitely moments where he seemed to genuinely be flirty with me and once wanted to team up to do some work together, it was all in a very casual school environment. Each encounter was fairly brief and widely spaced. Some days it seemed that he didn't even know I was there. Cougar Potion definitely let him know I was there! He made extended eye contact with me twice as he spoke to me from his seat in a good humoured kind of way. It was really strange for me because I had been turning to look in that direction a few times (we were in a side-on orientation) and then I looked another time and it was as if his eyes were "catching" mine. Like I should be looking away quickly if he caught me looking at him (that's what I normally do...too shy), but I didn't. His eyes were holding mine and then he spoke to me past the person between us. I guess it's also possible that the confidence boost I felt with Cougar made it easier for me to not look away. After that I didn't really talk to him for a few days, even though I wore the CP. I don't hink he was there part of the time and the rest of the time he wasn't in my phero cloud. I was using the sample so no spray diffusion going on here. I think I'm going to be upgrading to a full bottle of spray! This has also had a very interesting effect on my friends at school. It seems to induce a great comraderie of humour. We end up laughing so hard we're crying and I'm talking guys here. I seem to become way funnier than usual and fairly popular too. My confidence levels on the first couple of days was off the charts, but I haven't had the same self effects since. I have tried wearing other LP's since my first few forays with CP. I'm going to wear this one again in a short while to see if I was just using too much after the first day or what. OD? Perhaps if I weren't chronically sleep deprived, it would be easier to feel happy and energetic and confident etc...There's still waayyy more experiementing to do with this one, but so far very pleased with the results! Just a quick question. I've read that people spray this in their hair, but then I read somewhere else that it has cops in it. I thought you weren't supposed to wear cops on your clothes or in your hair. Does it have cops in it? I don't smell any at all at any point during application and beyond so, maybe I'm mistaken?

I just have to say a huge thank you for such fast shipping of my first order. I'm only getting around to posting about it now (it's been a couple of weeks) because I have been so crazy busy with school, my daughter, trying to get sleep, trying to get a bit of a social life, and driving A LOT to have my daughter visit her dad (while his car isn't running too well). I have been craving some down time to myself in order to start posting stuff. I have made time to put on some perfumes and phero blends though, and I have some incredible experiences to write about. Thank you so much. I got the package thinking I would have to go to the post office to pick it up, but I went to my apartment building mail box and guess what I found in it?! WOW! Was I ever excited. I kept making funny squealing noises to myself because I couldn't contain my excitement. I think I was even jumping up and down in the elevator on the way to my apartment. I was going to open the box and be methodical about the whole thing, but that didn't work out so well. I took everything out and started sniffing. Amazing! Now I know what sniffies are! Thanks so much for them and I am overwhelmed with happiness at the spray LP I received. The LPMP team is amazing and amazingly generous! I also wanted to point out that the sample vials are so generous. I couldn't believe it. I tried Cougar Potion first and wore it quite a few times and then began to worry about running out before I could order more, but surprisingly, there's still quite a bit left in the vial. It is worth every penny and more to purchase trial vials IMO. I am envisioning the top of my dresser a few months from now and it's looking pretty cluttered, but WHO CARES! It's all in the name of smelling devine....I wish I could mobilize a large group of people to give both of their thumbs up (akin to people making group formations while wearing different colours to make a picture only visible from afar). I would so have (what the earth's population now? Just over 7 billion I think) 7 billion people forming a giant thumbs up for every continent (visible from space of course). You think I am being melodramatic? That's where I think you should read my reviews... because MY earth moved in this past week in a way that it never has before and I have no one else to thank but you guys! Global thumbs up to your service and products thus far!

EOSP, thanks so much for the great welcome! You're not late. In fact you're right on time. Your post (with balloons and all) made my day! No first order yet, though I keep checking my mailbox for one of those "we have your package at the post office"slips. *Sigh* I think I'm going to waste away pining after it...I can't take all this suspense! It is still well within the delivery time frame. I know it shipped out the day after I ordered it, but I live in Canada, so customs is probably what takes so long. It's not even really that long... I just gotta have those LP's...
