Potion Master

Made another round of Winter Woody, for those that missed out. Also just posted Man Cave w/ SS4M.

Well, the break was for everyone else, not me. I took a few hours off on Thanksgiving but that's it, lol. Once I get in the groove with the melts they are fun to make. It's just the set up and prep that takes a long time. In this case I had to order tables, drop clothes and the burners, which have worked out great. The amount of OMG MESS I am making makes me glad that I went through the trouble! I only have the room and time to make about 6 diff types per day (2 each session) and then there's the cooling time wait in between each sesh. I am back to mixing more oils and then another round with the wax..,then making labels and printing and packaging and posting, and around again!

You mean like one of each in a huge set? I would not mind doing that at all.

I went through 80 pounds of wax for this bunch, but just ordered 200 pounds more. So everyone will get to try everything they want eventually. I apologize for underestimating the demand.

I totally understand. The LP site was designed specifically for us, and gives me the option of programming everything then flicking the switch to make them go LIVE. If Etsy has this option, I have not found it yet. I am brand new to the site, only been here less than a month, so I have been putting them up in bunches as they are ready to ship. You are probably correct that I should have waited until all of them were done and just list them all at once. With everyone off this last week, I had to juggle the jobs of 3 people, so was just doing things in shifts as best as I could. I have some singles of a few of the sold out ones and others....ones that didn't have an even number. I was going to post them as a "sampler set" but I am saving them for you, if you want them.

I have more wax and packaging supplies arriving in 3 days. I had no idea the demand for these would be so great, so I will just keep making more until everyone has what they want. No worries! Thanks everyone!

Birkeys, you don't understand how all of this works. I have been loading them as fast as I can. I spent 12 hours on this yesterday so it's not a matter of "not taking the time". I too am surprised that people have been grabbing them up as I have been listing them. I am sorry you are disappointed. I have another half dozen to do today. I will order more supplies today and make another round as soon as they get here.

I started adding them last night, added a bunch more today, and will continue to add tonight thru tomorrow. I think I have another 6 or so to go.

You'll have to place 2 diff orders if you want to do it yourself. But it's always fine with us if you want to send us a list of everything you want and we'll send you one invoice for everything.

Use the regular link for this one. There are 11 in the set, so you'll get an extra for free as our Xmas gift to you.

So, the programming is done and everything is up and orderable...BUT!!!...I don't know why, and maybe it's just my browser??, but they are not showing up on the front page yet! I think it's a glitch and it will show up on the front page on December 1st. > So for the sake of ease, here are the direct links to the NRs. Happy reading! Luna did an amazing job this month!

errrm, no. Only because Beautiful Dreamer is sold out. We have plenty of sample sets left, but unless I do a rebrew I think that's it for the bottle sets. (You could replace it with something else if you like, tho.)

QG, the only one that I think has a double life for both ladies and gents is Eve of Darkness. Most men stick with just a few scents, so I figured the guys got a year's worth last month! Oh, and I want to mention to the ladies, when you are asking for your forum freebies this month, consider trying a vial of Enlightenment from Nov. It's a men's scent with a unisex phero, but for some reason it works fabulously as a bedtime scent for me. I recommend!

I'm going to put them up this weekend along with the new releases.

I delight in the stories people share about when someone asks what they are wearing and they tell them the name of the perfume.

Xev, next time you order, send us a note via email and we will send you another one. Sorry for the breakage!

The Irish Coffee one is totally friggin' amazing. It smells completely real in the bottle. Izzy's eyes were rolling back in his head when he sniffed it. The Purple Puff one came out fabulous too. Yeah, so the thing is, that almost everyone is suggesting Open Windows and BB/B2, and I'm fine just adding those over and over to everything if that's what people really want, but I am inclined to offer more of a variety unless told otherwise. Thoughts?

Ok, I need some feedback here, please. Want to know what pheros you would like paired with which scents. Thanks for your input! I have already done these: Love Potion (Original) + Gotcha Spa Mint + Balm Bomb Lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus, rosemary, frankincense, myrrh. Aloha! + Alpha-Nol Pineapple, coconut, coconut oil, plumeria, gardenia. Sweet Caramel Apple + Treasured Hearts Apples, caramel, vanilla extract, brown sugar. Currantly Incensed + Sexpionage Black currant, nag champa. Garland + Lace Gingerbread, eggnog, vanilla, caramel, spice, patchouli. The following oils are blended and ready to go, but I need to know what phero pairings you would prefer: Winter Woody + (?) Cedar, sandalwood, cranberry, sweet pipe tobacco, patchouli, amber, vanilla. Nox + (?) Blackberry, vanilla, amber, patchouli. Sugared Resins + (?) Amber, patchouli, frankincense, myrrh, brown sugar, caramel, maple. Sugared Magi + (?) Figs, frankincense, myrrh, sugars. amber. LP: Black + (?) Tonka Berry + (?) Tonka, vanilla extract, blackberry, mulberry, red currant, black currant, pomegranate, cedar. Lemon Cake (formerly Yule Snuggle) + (?) Lemons, vanillas, butter, sugars. Purple Puff + (?)

Irish Coffee + (?) * Coffees, chocolate, caramel, vanilla extract, cream, bourbon, rum.

A heads up: I had to change the way we are listing wax melts on Etsy. Now, the Pheromone Enhanced Melts will sell as 2 for $5.00, and the plain Fragranced Wax Melts will sell as 3 for $5.00. Apologies for having to do it this way, but Etsy has hidden automatic re-listing fees we were not aware of, and it makes selling anything for less than $5.00 not cost effective. I apologize that you have to buy them in sets now, rather than one at a time, but on the upside, they still cost the same for the Phero'd ones and the regular Fragranced ones come out a little less expensive. I've started on the melts and will be working on them all week. Will come back and ask your opinions on phero-pairings in a little bit.

Rose, I'm like that too, cannot even tolerate caffeine. But this one does not work like a stimulant, at least on me. (It would have to have a lot more alpha-nol to get that effect). What I think most people will get from it is focus, drive and determination rather than a stimulant-type feeling. On me, it also acted as a stress reliever and mild mood elevator, however, it did not have me buzzing around or increase my heart rate or anything like that. @ Irish Eyes - I'll keep it around as long as it continues to be of interest to people. Also, someone asked John today if we are tweaking the formula or leaving it as is. I do not have enough feedback yet to make that decision. What you are all testing is my second version of this blend. (If you followed the originating post, I felt I used too much Enone originally so I cut that percentage in half for this version.) So please keep the feedback coming in and please let me know how you feel it might be improved. Thanks!

There is a MINUTE amt of Enone, seriously, a tiny amount. It can give a person a feeling of determination, which is why I put a drop in there. Epi is more or less the female equivalent of this and that's the predominant note in the blend.

Thanks for the great suggestions everyone! Just got them all copied out. Got all the supplies - waxes, oils, tables, burners, dropcloths, etc. I am blending oils tonight and the melting will begin tomorrow! Weee!

Ok, Anon, you're cleared for takeoff! Thanks for confirming, Bella!

Yuppers! Thanks, Saffron!
