Honeycake

Since Mara suggested that a fragranced pheromone would be better as it provides a gauge for the amount of mones you are wearing applying..

I wonder which option is better and why- lightly scented vs full fragrance?

I am not a huge fragrance person, but I do appreciate the scents that I have sampled from LPMP, but it kind of doesn't matter what kind of fragrance I wear. I do have some preferences, but it is nor a big deal to me.

1. When you select a fragrance do you all think about the descriptions and the intent of the fragrance when combining it with a phero or do you just pick what you like?

2. What are the pros and cons of adding a light fragrance vs a full fragrance?

Thanks in advance

Hi Mara!

Thank you for that link! I really appreciate you replying to the thread and providing some guidance and adding to what has been said.

Hi Honeycake!

 

Looks like everyone is giving you excellent info.

 

Here's a FAQ about the different bases, just FYI: http://lovepotionper...m/articles/FAQ1

 

1x = 1,000, 2x = 2,000, 3x = 3,000 mcgs

 

As mentioned above, when I create a phero enhanced perfume, the phero content is 333mcg, but the perfume is designed to enhance the intent of the phero blend, so often they "feel" stronger because they are congruent.

 

When someone buys a phero boost, they are choosing a regular perfume from our catalog and we are adding 1,000 mcgs to it.

 

I find there is an advantage to combining your scents and pheros because then you have a scent indicator for how much you are wearing. MORE does NOT equal BETTER when it comes to pheros...many/most people get a better result wearing a more modest amount. So when you find you're wearing the right amount of fragrance, you are also wearing the right amount of pheros. It's easy to overdo something when there is no scent indicator.

 

Personally, I find that the heavy sexual (stinky) blends (such as OCCOs/Copulins, Sexpionage, Blatant Invitation) work far better in oil, and far better when combined with scent because you don't have to deal with the PITA dry down time. You want these to stay closer to your skin. And the light social blends (Open Windows, Lace, Topper) are most effective in a spray, either scented or not, because you want the wide diffusion.

 

Hope that helps!

Thanks Eggers!

I really appreciate your response and for adding to my understanding!

The term "pheromone blend" refers to "B", the actual mix of pheromones, (ie, Blatant Invitation, Lumina, Sexology). UNscented pheromone blends are 1000mcg per bottle, whether roll-on or spray.

"Phero-enhanced" is normally used in reference to Mara's perfume/pheromone blends, (333mcg per bottle, whether roll-on or spray), just like BlueBear said. Personally, I refer to these as "Pheromas", to distinguish them from perfumes without pheromones.

"Boosted" refers to a pheromone blend that someone has added to a perfume of their own choosing. When you boost a perfume, you get a 1000 mcg dose of pheromones, as opposed to the 333mcg dose in "pheromas", or phero-enhanced scents.

There are 2 benefits to choosing UNscented pheromone blends: 1. they are stronger, so you use less, (potentially more economical), and 2. you can mix & match your perfumes and pheros according to your moods, (lots of fun, but sometimes time consuming considering how many scents and phero blends we all wind up with around here! LOL!).

But like JOC pointed out, the pheromas that Mara creates sometimes "feel" like they pack more of a punch than pairings we make ourselves. We put that down to Mara being magic. She combines ingredients with similar magical qualities to enhance (and sometimes mask the scent of) particular pheromone blends.

But all LPs are 'scents with intent". So phero'd or not, you're good to go!

Hello Halo!

I am not sure whether I have a high tolerance or not - yet. I have ghosted or ODd 1 or 2 times because I applied too much, but I can't remember the amount, but it was with a different product/company. I think I will have to use my samples to find out what my tolerance or sweet spot is with the different pheros here at LPMP.

Thanks for your input.

Yes I do apply more of the phero enchanced scents. I have a high tolerance so I love the UNs. They cost more initially but you have the ability to wear them with any scent you like. The phero enhanced ones are nice when I just want to wear a small amount of pheros, but really even then they are more about scent for me.

Thanks BlueBear! I appreciate your input.

Phero boosted (as used around the forum) likely means that someone has picked out one of the fragrances and had a phero added to it, whereas phero enhanced is probably one of the ones Mara has created to carry the phero ("333mcg of pheromones and starts at $29.95 for the oil and $44.95 for a spray "). You'll have to use the context clues, but i think it's usually clear around the board.

 

The phero-enhanced fragrances have less phero than the unscented, so if you OD easily, they are a good bet. I, personally, buy the unscented ones when I anticipate wearing the phero frequently and want to keep my scent options open. for me, it has very little to do with the strength.

Thank you JOC!

Phero-boosted or phero enhanced fragrance is scent plus pheros, usually at 333mcg.

 

Unscented pheros is pheros at 1000mcg for x1, etc. and there is no fragrance. For pheros with cops (EoW), this should stink. For phero enhanced fragrance, sometimes the scent covers the cops even on wet while others might take a while for the cops to meld into your skin chemistry.

 

Phero enhanced perfumes here are designed with the phero in mind to achieve what the phero is meant to do. Therefore some ladies find it more efficient to use these even though they are "weaker".

 

I prefer to use UN as I don't wear pheros regularly and also I like to mix and match my pheros to my scents according to my mood.

Ok now I have some additional questions. Looking at the scented options is overwhelming. LOL

Just for clarity's sake, the term pheromone blend refers to:

A. A mix of a fragrance and a pheromone. For example: All Hallow's Eve (fragrance) combined with Lumina (pheromone) ?

or

B. A combination of unscented individual pheromones (DHEAS + Alpha + Beta etc) used to create one unscented pheromone product. For a general example- unscented Sexology?

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now when someone uses the term phero-boosted scent or pheromone enhanced fragrance they are referring to a product:

1. which contain 333mcg of pheromones and starts at $29.95 for the oil and $44.95 for a spray - correct?
   

What are the major differences between a phero enhanced fragrance and the unscented pheromones? I think I understand that with the unscented pheros you are getting more mcgs and thus, a more potent product, but what is the incentive to buy one versus the other in regards to performance? For example, would one need to apply more (4 sprays instead of 2 or 12 inches instead of 5) of the phero enhanced fragrances? What are the pros, cons, and benefits of purchasing a pheromone enhanced fragrance versus an unscented pheromone?

Wow Dolly and Quietguy!

You guys are fast! I am still trying to remember/figure out the threads I have posted too around here!

Point taken on the strength - I have "ghosted" before on other products and I wouldn't want to do that on these products as that would be a waste. I am just dying to make a purchase, but I want to make a good decision.

Thank you Dolly for answering all my questions! That helps a bunch!

Hi MissHazel! I appreciate the name compliment as well as the welcome!

Hello ElizabethOSP! Thank you for the welcome! I haven't tried yet, but I am about to!

Greetings Mara! Thanks for welcoming me to the board!

Greetings All,

I haven't tried my samples yet, but I am very confident that I will make a full bottle purchase in the near future. Especially after surfing the boards and reading all the great experiences! I have been looking through the store again and I am still confused.

The unscented pheromones are the ones that are the most potent - correct? With the unscented pheromones for $39.95 in either oil or silicone:

1. What is a DPG oil base?
   
2. What is a CPS silicone base?
   
3. How are the two different from one another?
   

With the pheromones in alcohol that start at $44.95:

1. How are they different from the oil and silicone ones?
   
2. What is the difference between the different ratios of alcohol to oil or silicone?
   

• 90% alcohol to 10% oil
  
• 60% alcohol to 40% oil
  
• 60% alcohol to 40% silicone
  

When asked to choose either:

1. 1x for $44.95 or $49.95
   
2. 2x for $74.95 or $79.95
   
3. 3x for 95.95 or $114.95
   

- for a pheromone product, is this asking for the amount of pheromones?

• How much is each level? For example is the 1x = to 333mcg?
  
• And what is the difference in effects from each level?
  

Thanks in Advance!

Thank Molls! I have had some time to go over that link. I will think on this some more.

Thanks Dolly! I agree with you. Point taken.

Hi Queen of Swords. Of course. I plan on consulting first before diving in. I was just wondering if this was an option or if anyone else had done it. I am really curious and kind of formulating some ideas in my head that I would like to play with in future. But you have given good advice. The example that you provided in your last post is kind of like where I am headed in the future. Kind of like knowing the effect I want to have and creating an ultimate potion from that. Thanks!

Thinking of you dear and hope all is well.

Ok well I guess that's a no! LOL Or a not yet...?

The only reason I asked because some of the other pheros I have (from different companies) can be combined and the combining seems to enhance the effects. It seems that these products (LPMP) are much more complex I suppose - so I guess I will have to try all the samples (I bought some more samples a few minutes ago) to narrow things down to a few specific ones.

I was just using the BI and Happy Water as an example for the sake of clarity.

Thanks for the responses. I appreciate you guys for taking the time to answer. I can see that people feel very passionately about this..

Greetings!

I see on the main shop page where LPMP will create a custom scent...is it possible to have a custom phero blend made?

I want to say thank you to Mara and John. I received my products and the samples and everything is so appealing. I also want to thank you for the nice e-card. I am resisting the urge buy, but I have a budget.

I am not a huge fragrance person, but I must say that these are really nice. I was expecting "fruity bath and BW" lotion set type of smell, but even the "fun" fragrances have a bit of sophistication to them.

All of the Christmas scents Gothic Xmas, Santas Little Helper, and Enchanted Wonderland all smell nice. I can smell the mint, but its different/better than what I expected. I can see why everyone here is such a fanatic for the products.

1. So are these fragrances designed for layering with unscented pheros? I am sure that you can wear them on their own...

Now for the pheros... I really like their fragrances too. The Happy Water and the Odalisque w Blatant Invitation - wow. I think the Odalisque with the Blatant Invitation is my favorite fragrance. I like the OCCO SLF too, but it smells more powdery to me. The Balls w Sexpionage is nice too, but kind of difficult for me to place. It's different, but not in a bad way.

2. Since these pheros are so fragranced - can they be layered or combined with other products? For example one, drop of BallswSexpionage plus a drop of Happy Water? Or not a good idea?

I will say that my mom loves the smell of the Blatant Invitation and the Happy Water too. But I am really drawn to the BI.

Hi NuTrix!

Thanks for introducing me to this place! I have been reading, reading, and browsing.... I can totally see it becoming an addiction! I am so excited waiting for my samples!

Thanks for the additional tips! If the full pheros are 39.95 then that is not a bad price.... Thank you so much for all the info and I am definitely on the hunt for some new products to try.

WELCOME! Good to see you here

You're so sweet! I hope you find this perfumery as fantastic as I've played it up to be...if not even better! Welcome to our addiction ^-~

 

A few more shopping clues. Full bottles of phero enhanced fragrances are usually priced at $29.95 and unpheroed perfumes are usually $24.95. Full pheros are usually unscented and start at $39.95, at least as of this writing ^-~ But just to throw a wrench into things are the fantastic options to ASK, that's right, REQUEST, the scents you truly LOVE boosted with the pheros that you find perform the best/most for you. Just WAIT! You'll be captivated in NO TIME FLAT!!!

The descriptions will tell you if they are enhanced or have a phero blend too, so read carefully and use the search bar often...at least that's how I started out The VERY happiest of hunting to you

Sorry, I missed all those welcomes! Greetings Ravenwing, Merrie, and Invidiana. I appreciate the welcome!

Hi Halo,

Thanks for the welcome! Good to see you too.

welcome to the forum. Good to see you over here

Thanks Missdarlyncherie! You are so kind. I didn't get the sample pack. but I did break down and bought some samples. I am not a huge fragrance person, but reading this board is really messing up my mind! I am starting to think maybe I am not caring for myself as I should... At any rate I bought the Sexpionage/Balls, Odalisque/Blatant Invitation, Happy Water, and OCOC ? SLF. I really liked that the blatant invitation got so many consistently good reviews. I was curious about the honey in the SLF. I didn't see too much about the effects on others with the Happy Water, but the description sounded so good I couldn't resist. And NuTrix raved about the balls/sexpionage.

I really wanted full bottles, but I bought some other pheros from another company and they didn't turn out the way I was hoping vs some other products I tried so I was like do I take a chance and get some bottles or just go with the samples? So I went with the samples.

I would start out getting samples until you get a feel for LP's. It is so hard to tell from descripts how something is going to wear on you. We've all been there where something sounds like it would be just horrid on us and ends up being our obsession, and the other way around too!

 

You poor thing...you came at a very stressful time, as in...the November Phero releases and Pick Your Potion samples (those small unscented spray phero blend samples, which are only available until the end of the month) AND Christmas releases are all up right now. It is a time when a seasoned LP'rs head goes into cardiac arrest...and must be even more overwhelming for you trying to learn the ropes.

 

Just get all the sample packs and call it a day Honeycakes...

If you think you can't afford it, you"d be surprised how many opportunities there are out there this month for free meals!

Thank you Mrschrissyrex and Calii - that is so kind and thoughtful of you!

Thank you quiet guy and raq on. I appreciate the welcome.

Thank you Molls, Lady Victoria, Bluebear, Eggers, hearts, Calii, Mrschrissyrez, JOC, and Liz!

Hi Missdarlyncherie! Well I haven't tried any of LPs products yet. I am trying to figure out whether I should go with samples or full bottles and of what. I am also having some difficulty determining what is just a fragrance vs a pheromone. For example I think I have determined that Balls/Sexpionage - Balls is the fragrance right and Sexpionage is the phero. Or with Enduring Appeal and Stone Cougar - that Enduring Appeal is the fragrance and Stone Cougar is the phero. But when looking at the list sometimes I get confused like with the Happy Water or Taste of Wealth whether they are just fragrances or have pheros in them.

Hi Just Ducky! Wow! That will make my decision even more challenging! Everything seems so alluring!

Hello All,

I want to say thanks for allowing me to become a member! I saw all the recent raves from NuTrix and ShellyB about these products at another board and so I am very curious about the products. I have been browsing the shop and so overwhelmed by all the choices and fragrances.

I just wanted to say hello and that I look forward to sharing some phero adventures with all of you!
