luna65 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 With first wear, in the vial and initally on my skin this is totally yummy, and didn't turn plastic like Darling Clementine did. BUT after a while...Popularity Potion is stinky on me! Sometimes my chemistry reacts strongly to Chris' blends (like SS4W) so I think I might need something a little more robust to cover it. But everyone who missed out on the original should snag a bottle post-haste! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienChangeling Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 That's...strange. I've never had a non-cops'd phero become stinky. I usually can just barely smell them, and that when I first apply them neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 I'm just speaking from my own perception. I don't consider it bad necessarily, just that some mixes are particuarly noticable to my sense of smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Swords Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 The affect of the phero on me is somewhat subtle, I've been feeling more social, less shy, and have a strangely more optimistic outlook about my future despite the fact I'm still a pessimistic fatalist (don't ask me why, but people are contradictory in general). People seem to be more receptive to me, but I want to wait for a few days before I draw any final conclusions. The scent is great too, I was worried that the citrus and strawberry might overwhelm the rest of the notes, but thankfully it pairs well with other foodie and resinous perfume oils. I'll try to make a more complete review of it in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Swords Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hmm, I also feel somewhat more socially sophisticated despite my introversion. I should probably order a bottle of it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJL Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Firstly the scent smelled quite strong and then mellowed . I had forgotton that this was a pheromone blend. Self effects were more optimistic in my outlook, focused and a sense of being more discerning and astute. One to buy in a full bottle or spray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Swords Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 On a side note I really hope the next re-incarnation of this will have caramel and burnt sugar frosting notes instead of fruit, a truly evil cupcake blend. : D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skye Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 This is sweet, sugary. I'm not getting any fruit notes at all. Just foody goodness. And I feel ... uplifted in a way that I don't when I use UN PP. Definitely wearing this to work tomorrow. Â And ordering a second bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinnamonmel Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 It was cakey, phero-wise, someone I know doesn't fancy me did a lot of mirroring my body language, and I felt a little uncomfortable, like maybe I might start flirting outrageously with him, otherwise nothing else of note happened, although a lady at the gallery was very friendly with me but then she might just be like that. I'll try it again and report back I think. Â I'm having a hard time with scents at the moment, not being able to describe them properly and stuff.

LadyVictoria Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 This version is all pink orange cakey goodness on me! Is there pink in this? I get whiffs of pink sugar here and there and it smells so good!!!! Wet it smells identical to Darling C but as it dries down it becomes more frosted pink orange cupcake. I didn't get any pink in Darling C like I am getting in this. DAMMIT I am going to have to order a bottle of this now! It smells exactly like a orange hostess cupcake bathed in pink sugar.

luna65 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 The frosting note was always "pink sugar" (strawberry) to my knowledge, so maybe it just comes out on you more in this brew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calii Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 This smells every bit as luscious as Darling Clementine on me,if anything it is stronger!! I am sooooo glad I got a back up bottle. The Popularity Potion in it is really working for me,self-effects wise at least...I feel amazing am very much looking forward to taking this out and about!

Invidiana Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Exactly the same luscious vanilla-frosting-slathered orange cake I get from Darling Clem, if not stronger like Calii mentioned, and Popularity Potion has great self-effects on me to boot. I find it takes the edge off any irritability I might be feeling and makes me more approachable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 The biggest difference between the two versions is the latest one has natural vanilla bean paste in all it's oooey gooey glory - thus the floating globules you might see in the bottles. I used the flavoring this time because I used up all the corresponding fragrance oil in the last batch, but I think the bean paste makes this one smell even denser/stronger than the original. (And I get to taste the bean paste each time I brew with it, it's mega yummy.) ::slurp!:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missdarlyncherie Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Oh criminey!!! What are you saying?! I must get another bottle?! Even though I have 2 oils and 1 spray of Darling Clementine?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportyCurve5 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I came out of hibernation, and had to get a bottle! It has been a rough past few weeks with work! I saw someone mentioning pink sugar...I think that scent is becoming my new favorite. I looooved Clementine, and I'm pretty stoked to get this one!

Â I don't want to enable you dear Libra, but I can't lie. I can smell the difference. Think pink tufts draped in orange cake. Darling Catalina does exactly what I wanted Darling Clementine to do. I get the orange hostess cupcake BUT the pink frosting too! I did a side by side comparison. To me, this one is more pink frosting that sits on top of orange cupcakes. Get a sample at least to compare. I know I am not crazy, I swear this one is pinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call it "the play doh" smell on me. Do you think this is B/C of the PP phero in it or something else? Usually the "play-doh" aspect has to do with the reaction of one of the notes. For me it's usually either vanilla or amber or a combination of both. With pheromones it's normally a kind of metallic smell which occurs if there's a weird reaction.

Potion Master Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 "French" Vanilla seems to be a culprit most often when there's a plasticy complaint. Not sure why - maybe a butter accord that is added? Did not add French Vanilla in these blends, but probably added something buttery....so may be that??

luna65 Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Could be; as dairy accords don't always work on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiana Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Maybe it's just the nature of vanilla as a scent in itself? Some of them have naturally buttery undertones on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
