missdarlyncherie Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Ok. Awesome work everyone!! Mara, Luna, AC!!!! Now I need to go read everything at normal speed and formulate my plan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiana Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 AC, congrats on those wonderful descriptions first of all--regarding labdanum FWIW on me it's a mildly sweet resinous scent, not really deep and dark but like a medium amber but a bit less warm. My skin does have a tendency to bring out sweeter aspects of stuff, which may be why I don't get a plantlike scent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have slapped up links to "Displaced Detective swag" to my fans everywhere I could - Facebook (my regular page, my fan page and the DD page), Twitter, Tumblr, and my email fan distribution, not to mention my blog! As for the labdanum, it sounds like it should do ok on me. Especially with the other ingredients in that scent. I ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liz Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Luna dear, is there anything in the LPMP list of ingredients in the way of RUM ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'm sure Mara has at least one rum accord in her library, since she's used a rum note in other scents before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyVictoria Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Will the full set sampler and NRs be the same? $30 and $200? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potion Master Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Will the full set sampler and NRs be the same? $30 and $200? Yes, but the full bottle collection always includes only the 10 bottles for women. The sampler set contains the full 12, including the ones for men.

How on earth did you convince Mara to collaborate with you on the creation of the Sherlock perfumes??? What a fabulous leap beyond the PEs! Lucky duck. I'm not a perfumer now, Tyvey. Mara did all the work, she just asked for my opinion on some stuff. I think Luna already mentioned that 221b was intended to be masculine but came out feminine and she wanted to know what I thought, and did I want her to scrap it and start over. I thought it matched Skye really well and I liked it, so we kept it. So then we (mostly she) decided to do Watson and a rebrew of Elementary. I already <3 Elementary and so that one wasn't hard. I haven't smelled Watson yet; she just sent me the notes. As to how I convinced her, I dunno. We've been talking about it on and off since I discovered Elementary 2010. Eventually we decided it would be fun to do, and to co-promote. I had a lot of fun writing the little snippets of stuff for them. I kept the snippets true to the characters and settings of my books, and just made sure they brought out the notes of the fragrances. (Yes, Skye and Holmes have something going on.) I'm promoting it as a collaboration between us, which it was, and "swag" for the DD series, which it kinda is too, and make sure I have links to LPMP and each perfume page. Slapping it out there far and wide in hopes that when people read the little snippets they'll wanna read the books too. It's a win/win situation, I hope, for LPMP and me.

I thought it matched Skye really well and I liked it, so we kept it. Oh wow, this I didn't know. Mara and I have been talking about 221B for almost two years now and as far as I knew she had always planned to release it, but was wondering if it should still be a SH-inspired scent or not. I'm very excited because after hearing about it for so long I'm eager to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienChangeling Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 That's...probably about how long she and I have been talking about it, Luna. Or close to. But yeah, she made it up and then set it aside for a couple days and came back to it and it was a gentle feminine scent, so she sent me a sample so we could cussdiss it and decide if we wanted to try a rebrew or go with it like that and do some others for the guys. I liked the idea of 221b being tied to Skye, and it really did make me think of her, so we went with it like that. And Mara, I dunno what the bleep is going on with Paypal, but it rejected the invoice you just sent, and that after my trying to go thru the cart the usual way. Lemme go look and see what's going on in the history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 I wasn't going to scrap it entirely, because I LOVE the scent, I was just maybe going to name it something else other than 221B - and brew something else for 221B, but Stephanie convinced me it was still in line with the legend - especially HER story, so on we went! Yes, 221B has been brewed and on deck for around a year now, so it is good and melded! There's been some...um...political issues that kept me from releasing it sooner.

luna65 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Oh it's only been a year? I don't know why I thought it was longer then. But what I mean, Stephanie, is that Mara and I had been discussing that scent before you joined the comm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienChangeling Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 OK that's cool, Luna. Then when she and I started talking about it, it sort of all gelled, I guess, and got the ball rolling. I thought I'd been here longer than that. Anyway I'm wearing it now and wub WUB WUB it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 It's been brewed for a year. It was conceived before that. And of course, we've been brewing Elementary since 2004. Long time Sherlockians around here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrschrissyrez Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 If I want to boost Lick of Pink with heart and soul, how do I do that? P.S.- Wonderful job Mara!

Potion Master Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 If I want to boost Lick of Pink with heart and soul, how do I do that? Use the first thingy on the top of this page to do so: http://lovepotionper...one_Blends.html You need to write in the fragrance you want, and use the drop down menu for the phero blend you want. K?

Queen of Swords Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Flambe looks so good I probably will be buying a full sized bottle instead of merely a sample (in the middle of the month at this rate, sadly). I also have a feeling that a chocolate espresso version of that should be produced during the Holiday season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skye Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Heh AC. I kinda giggled when I saw the name Skye. (Even though it's not my real name, it's been my craft/online name for so long that it's part of me. There are plenty of people in the pagan community and who have met me IRL after knowing me online that call me skye. I mean Skye.) Off to plot my order.

Raq On Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'm tempted to try H and S again. I tried it from the phero sampler last year and it was kind of meh. But there have been so many good things said about it. I can't decide between it and Treasured hearts. Wonder which one Mara sells more of?

Raq On Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hmm, sounds like HS is for relating more with the general public and TS is maybe for the closer relationships? Does either of them have more est than the other? (assuming they both have EST) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 TH doesn't have any EST, so H&S would have more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
