  1. Haha, thanks Dolly, gaia. J and I had a lot of fun that night with that realization, especially because he has never had that strong of a reaction to any of the 100s of samples I've gotten the past few years. The reaction was temporary, though, because I think he's gotten used to Pherogirl: D. I've been testing this blend some more, and whether it's a placebo effect or the actual pheremones, I've definitely been getting some super nice people on some of my worst days. Getting hit on at the airport? Like, three times? With no makeup on and running on 3 days no sleep? = miracle. I went running to the restroom mirrors to see if I'd suddenly transformed into a gorgeous size 2 model, but nope. Still me, and not the best example of me, either, lol. What I really like about this blend is that it layers really well with almost anything. I've used it with my mainstream perfume as well as other etailer brands, and it comes out smelling amazing each time. I think it's the pheremone that causes that sharpness, and layering helps to enhance the best elements while subduing the sharpness, which I have some trouble with. But left on its own, I love how it dries down to a faint musk with a whisper of rose/coffee.
  2. How much pheremones are contained in the perfume, compared to others on the markest (light, medium)? I'm wondering what to chalk up my latest experience(s) to, both from wearing Dominance, because both happened about 7-12 hours after intial application.
  3. Oh, gosh... Would you? I would LOVE for that opportunity! I'd actually *just* bought a full bottle of LP:R before getting the sample in the mail, so if you'd like, I can Paypal you extra funds for the added labor. I really do love it that much. Thank you so, so much for the offer--I don't know what to say. I've really never received customer service at this level before.
  4. Okay, so getting over initial heartbreak over Love Potion: Red, a hilarious story that UTTERLY EXTINGUISHED my doubt of the effect of artificial pheremones! First of all, Dominance was the scent I was most doubtful of. I usually never get along with rose, and I really dislike overtly foody chocolate blends. However, I was really pleasantly surprised by how subtle the chocolate was on my skin; it really just acts as an anchor for the rose and I can barely detect its presence. The rose is very fresh, and reminds me of red blooms sitting in a pool of water. Really. (There are pheremones in this? The much-talked about "EW" copulins?) I'd talked to my friends about the cool pheremone-laced perfume I was getting. I always get my friend, J, hooked on whatever I'm getting hooked on, so he was in the room when I tore into the package. I swiped some Dominance on myself and on him (heh), and asked for his opinion on the scent--"Huh, it's actually pretty nice on, huh?" I asked. And--get this, he scrunches up his face and says, "Whew. Oh man, that's strong. I don't like it at *all*--it's...pungent." "Buzuh?" I say in confusion. "The scent is actually pretty light.... I'm really picky about scents and I actually like this one." Nuh-uh is his adament answer. "High pitched, one note.... I need to go wash this off NOW." His reaction is the same to PheroGirl. "It smells like...um, I need to go take an Advil." And then a lightbulb goes off in my head. Okay, so, let's back up a bit. My friend? is gay. GAYGAYGAYGAY. How gay, you ask. I alerted him to the fact that threadless was having a sale and also happened to have an emo Care Bear t-shirt on a cardinal red background ("Look, J! It's emo Care Bear Pete Wentz!) and he jumped up and down in happiness. Of course he bought the shirt. He also stopped asking for my help in applying his eyeliner and bought his own stick at Sephora. GAY. "Uh, J..." I say. "You know this is chock full of female pheremones intended to attract guys." And we stare at each other in growing realization of the affirmation of his extreme gayness on the Kinsey scale. He's so gay that the female pheremones actively, and I meant *actively* turn him off. And we full out burst out LAUGHING our asses off. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! He scampers off to tell a friend and comes back with news. "So uh," he says, "I think pheremones work?" "Well, *I'm* fully convinced." "NO," he says. "I was letting people sniff the perfume and, well...I think a guy just came onto me." "!!!!!!" I say because my face is already buried in my hands at this point. "And. I think he's bi. ...He has a girlfriend. And he was kinda...obvious about it. 'Oh, this smells gooood.... Ohhhh, you're into *dancing*?'" And my face is still buried in my hands. I may have let out squeaking noises. The moral to this story is: Who needs gaydar when you've got PheroGirl? -- (In advance, I think I'll be c/p this to another message board I'm on. Oh, man.)
  5. Wow, mind readers at Love Potions, or what? I received a sample of Love Potion Red with my purchase today. Actually, upon trying the vial, I got actually quite heartbroken as I realized the sample I had must have been from an earlier batch--much earlier, as the vial still had the "summer solstice" label on it.... The new one I received was much muskier and darker in feel rather than the much more sugared, brighter, almost fruity treacle LP:R I had fallen in love with. This one is smoother in feel, more spice, more blended such that I can't distinguish any rose. Right now, I don't know how to feel about the new blend, as I'm sure as you fellow natural perfume addicts know what it feels like to joyfully anticipate one scent to receive another in its new incarnation. I'm really sad that I will never be able to own a full size of the blend I fell truly head over heels for.
  6. Wow, that is really fascinating; it must be a blast to hear your information straight from the experts. I like doing things "right," from a higher authority, as it were.... Not such a rebel, me, on some things. Will you implement the new dosage levels to future batches of the phero (boy/girl/domiance) line?
  7. Oh, guh. I *had* to review this as I've fallen completely in love with it the past two days I've been slathering it like mad. The cold weather has dried out my skin, and the scent disappears way too quickly for my liking. I've heard people say they want to bathe in a scent and I never understood that phrase properly til now. Love Potion Red is gorgeous. I love that it goes on *almost* foody, but never quite tips onto that scale. It's balanced by a juicy-sour hint of fruit and fresh rose on a creamy base, as well as slight bite of cinammon. It's basically every scent group at once, blended harmoniously into one potion. I never would have thought these notes could work so well together, and so well. I love how it dries down: creamy bright rose, with sugared spices. The sugar practically glistens. I've managed down to wear down an entire sample--and this is coming from a girl with boxes of various etailer perfume samples, even the most beloved years old. As much as I want to order an entire bottle nownownow, I think I'll wait a week or two until my body chemistry changes.... So as much as I'm a little devastated that I'm almost out, I'm gonna gather some will power from somewhere...until my Love Potion: Black sample comes in the mail. Oh, man.
