Mademoiselle

I know. I wanted to get Castle Crumble UN, Castle Crumle w/Coug, Castle Crumble w/ Lace, LP Pink w/ coug , Smokin Bun with Lace, Egg with Lace.. now I want them with Coug also.. ahhh

So many options... and then there is the anxiety of my adored scents running out like LP PInk!

Not to worry, LP Pink is part of the permanent line, like LP original, and LP Black and LP Red.

But still, yeah, totally addictive.

OCCO pink is DA bomb! My second fave to sp. fushia. I also wear CB with a dab of OCCO blue together and it is nice. I don't usually go for scents like CB, as I much prefer the spicy or pink scents but CB softens really nice on me. Try it with the OCCO blue!

I actually really love both scents on their own. No boubt they would work great together tough! In my opinion Cuddle Bunny and OCCO Blue are pretty different. They both last last last on me.

It's funny, like you Raq On I love sweet and spicy scents, but sometimes I feel like I need a break from sweet scents and that is usually when I wear OCCO Blue, I love it, it's more androgenous in my opinion.

LadyV, you're gonna die with OCCO pink then. It is super long lasting, and such a fun feminine scent! I often get compliments when I wear it, and it covers the cops so well. I love it so much in fact, that I got a Beta version of OCCO Pink in spray, with 3 times the amount of cops. I have gotten compliments about this mix from people who normally wouldn't notice perfumes. OCCO blue is also very nice but took me some time to get used to. My skin amps this thing like mad.

OCCO white is my third fav. I am thinking of getting the spray form as well with 3 times the cops.

Have you tried Cuddle Bunny scented? Love this one!

I really love the stuff! I had the best day yesterday it was a combo of the Cougar during the day and Castle Crumble at night!

 

So far the pheros that I love are , Lace, Cougar, OW. and POP. I have to try out SS4W H& S and TH a little more.. also thinking of getting Woozy Floozy sounds like that one might be fun.

LadyV, sounds like we have a very similar taste in pheros! I'm all over lace, cougar and PP myself. I prefer LAM to woozy personally, seems to work better.

Have you tried Garland & Lace? The scent is to die for, if you like foody and sweet scents.

As for Cougar, I have it in phero add ins, mixed with LP Pink, LP original, it is divine, and NOCCO blue. Took me a while to get used to the blue scent but now I love it, and it lasts forever on me.

I have LACE in phero add ins with LP Pink, it is such a great combo. Super fun and girly!

I agree with that. It is very much about the fragrance. I reach out to my OCCOs most of the time, which is why I picked OCCO, but the honey scent in pherogirl is just incredibly sexy.

One of the sexiest perfume in my opinion here is sexology. But it has to work for you and work with your own body chemistry.

Got myself LP Pink with Lace unscented as phero add-in, and OMG this stuff is amazing! The scent is to die for, the self effect beautiful, and putting together LP Pink + Lace was kind of an obvious thing to me. Girly, fun, sexy, I love it! This is gonna be a fun one to wear!

That's EXACTLY the feeling I get from wearing Lace. Ditsy, girly, Marilyn-esque. Not a good driving phero - I get lost EVERY TIME I wear that phero blend. And it's my favorite for self effects too. That's why I wore SS4W on my last big outing, because I knew it would confusing to find the place I needed to go and knew Lace would def not help me find it!

Totally, me too. Wore it today at Penn Station, and it was one DIHL reaction after another. I don't get lost with it though! ;-)

I wore this yesterday to a convention for work, where I would be meeting with alot of my clients. OMG this worked wonders for me. I love this stuff. It made me feel really confident, witty and charming. I felt like the Godfather.

 

Bosshole was with me and had to take down names of people that were looking for me to say hello. Often I feel like I bust my ass and Bosshole doesn't understand how hard I really do work because I don't update him every 2 seconds.. well this phero really brought all my great qualities to the surface and smacked him in the face with it. Males and Females alike kept coming by our booth to express their gratitude that I handled their accounts. It was AMAZING. This am he told our VP that I was such a ' star ' and a ' celebrity' at the event. I have never experienced that many people wanting to chat and pay me compliments before, it was pretty rockstarish! Loved it: )

 

One thing I also noticed was I did get some people with hazy dreamy looks on their faces and they kind of just stuck around, lingering like I was spitting gold and unicorns.

LadyV, love the report! You totally describe my experience with PP.

Version 2 did the same thing to me, went plastic. V3 is awesome though! This latest version stays on a long time, I love it. It makes me feel all cozy. I feel comfy in my own skin when wearing it. Don't know if it's the "foody" notes or the pheros but I love the scent and feeling it gives me. It's like comfort food for my skin/chem.

All three versions of Garland & Lace have been a hit to me! Slight variations sure, but always very foody, sweet & spicy.

And all three last FOREVER.

I went through this thread when I first found LP. There wasn't much review on Blue Shield and thus it was the only Shield that I didn't purchase.

 

I received a sniffee a while back and I was very excited due to the Cuddle Bunny reviews. This turned out to be (still) masculine on my skin. How close is scented CB to this? I do not have UN CB so I don't know about the effects it has on me or others.

JOC, in my opinion OCCO Blue and Cuddle Bunny are pretty different.

When I first tried OCCO blue, I thought it was a tad too androgenous for my taste + a little soapy. I have learnt to LOVE Occo Blue since then,wear it often, and even used NOCO blue in my phero add in with Lace.

I like to wear it to take a break from super sweet scents. It feels very sexy though, but in a surprising way.

Now Cuddle Bunny, was love at first sniff. I LOVE the scent, it is so beautiful. It stays on for a long time too. Just like OCCO blue actually.

Cuddle Bunny has a sweetness to it, but a delicate sweetness, it feels light, airy and young. It is not masculine for one bit, it is feminine but in a soft non provocative way.

I have been pretty blown away lately by the effects of my "Pink Cougar" (LP pink boosted with Cougar UN) in social settings.

I mean the last couple times I have worn it have been ri-di-cu-lous, seriously.

I went to a party with my running club, didn't know what to wear, slathered my Pink Cougar mix.

I am used to hanging out with these people, see. A fantastic group of people, all ages, all socio economic backgrounds.

I have *never* had the guys from my running club behaving like this with me. Never ever. And I have worn cops or LAM or Lace before. Granted it was a special event, with drinking involved, but still I can not believe how much their moods seemed much looser than normal, unrestrained.

Nobody seemed drunk either, so I don't think it could have explained such a change in behaviour.

I receive so much attention, it felt like too much. Guys were asking to have their picture taken with me, people were just gathering around me all the time, and compliments were just flying left and right.

Like I said, it was almost too much.

So guys who I knew liked me were straight out flirting with me, it was weird. My BF at the end of the evening was like "Jeez, are they *always* like this with you?" It's only once the night was over that I realised the pheros must have played a big role.

I emailed a friend of mine to congratulate her on her speech, when she gave people awards, and she replied to me that I made most of the guys day just by showing up.

Women were very friendly too, giving me lots of compliments. What an ego boost, that night!

I plan on using this one more often.

I have Cougar mixed with original LP too, it's wonderful. Totally recommend.

Oh and from my experience, Cougar is one of these mixes that I can wear a ton of, without fearing to OD. Unlike Lace UN, which I prefer in Garland & Lace.

I am thinking of getting it in spray double strength, or spray form, or double strength oil ... decisions decisions...

Chris' mixes are very potent, so it might have been a case of using a sledgehammer when you only needed a chisel.

Yeah, I can tell you that for me, I have gotten great results with PP in oil form. Granted I do slather, but it's oil which means not as diffusive as spray *and* not X3 form.

Lace gives me the impression of fragile and loads of est. Hmmmm... maybe I should test it out at work one day and SOON!

You could be making a lot of EST by yourself, or EST just doesn't fit your personality. I really feel like with mones, there's no one size fits all. Kinda like fashion, you want to spend time figuring out what works with your body type, skin tone, and what is really YOU.

Oooh can't wait to receive this one! I wore G&L II for Christmas a LOT, and would constantly get comments from my Mom, who told me my perfume was "incredible", that she could smell it in the whole living room! ... no wonder why G&L gives such results! The carrier is too damn good.

Hey KrazyKat,

Sorry to read you had such a crappy time. It can be pretty demoralizing to experience this kind of treatment.

I have experienced what you describe many times myself, because in part, I am often the new girl in town.

I think I have learnt to recognize this behaviour now, and maybe it affects me a little less than it used to. Many times I have found out that the women who were trying to exclude me in a passive agressive way, weren't very happy to begin with. They were having problems with their boyfriend, or just weren't where they wanted to be in life. It's no excuse, but sometimes it's good to realise that it's not really about you.

It's strange to me that you experienced this with PP because I have always felt like I was getting attention from women and men with this mix. Even topped with massive amount of Cops. But usually I don't mix it with any other pheros though. Except TAH, it worked great with TAH on me.

Like someone else said -sorry I forget- these women's attitude with you might have had nothing to do with the pheromones anyway.

One other note: I have learnt that when there is jaleousy involved, there is pretty much nothing you can do to improve a situation. Even if you try to be extra nice, like when you offered to clean things up in the end, the jealous person might resent you even more for this. I woudn't write these people off though, just keep some distance.

Aaah Bruxelles, c'est une ville qui me tente beaucoup. J'adore la nourriture de la bas, les moules, les frites avec le petit pot de mayonaise, les bieres aromatisees... aie aie aie. My favorite: la Faro, qu'on trouve chez les freres berthom.

Tu as eu des adresses tres tres interessantes dis moi! Tu dois avoir tellement d'histoires a raconter. J'ai toujours ete attiree par les gens qui se sont ballade beaucoup, par gout ou obligation. Cela forme l'esprit d'une facon unique je trouve.

Moi j'adore les US. New York surtout. Les gens sont absolument geniaux ici, beaucoup plus ouverts qu'en France, plus optimistes aussi, il y un cote "go getter" ici que j'aime beaucoup. Les rapports sociaux sont tellement plus faciles, moins formels il me semble.

Ma famille est dans le vin, donc je connais bien. Peut etre que tu as bu de notre vin qui sait?!

Ou est ce que tu vis a present?

Mademoiselle, tu es française? D'où viens-tu en France?

En tout cas, ça fait plaisir de trouver une autre francophone sur le forum et je te souhaite un très joyeux noël en famille et parmis amis....

Heeeeeyyyy!!! Indigo, Tivey,

Oui je suis francaise! Ca ne m'etonne pas trop qu'il y aie des francophones sur le site, le parfum est generalement tres 'culturel' en France, tout le monde en porte.

Indigo, je suis du Sud Ouest a l'origine, de la region de Bordeaux. Mais j'ai vecu dans pas mal de villes, j'etais sur Paris avant de bouger aux Etats-Unis. Et toi, d'ou es tu?

Merci pour tes voeux, je te souhaite egalement une excellente periode de fetes!

There was a CSI ep some years ago about a guy who had two sets of DNA, his top half and his bottom half of his body were as if from 2 different people. They explained that this happens sometimes when there are early twins in utero, and the cells of one of the twins sometimes are absorbed by the other....one baby, two sets of DNA.

Mara, I remember listening to the most fascinating story on one of my favorite radio shows, called Radiolab, on NPR. They were talking about a woman who had to run DNA test and was found two sets of different DNA!! She was carrying two different DNAs because she was/is ... well two people. Her and her twin sister.

You can listen to the podcast for free here:

http://www.radiolab.org/2008/apr/07/

Go ahead, you won't regret it. I like that this shows how much compassion we should have for one another really, there's so much we don't know.

Hi Mara!!

Thanks for the answer, and thank you JOC as well.

I guess I wasn't so much worried about security checks rather than letting some phero mixes go in an unpressurized environment, with very cold temperatures.

I remember reading something about it on another forum, and there was definitely some warning about flying with them, but theirs were alcohol based, so I believe the rules are different when it comes to oil.

On the other hand, Mara, if your suppliers ship the stuff through air mail, it should be totally fine then?!

Thanks for the holidays wishes! It'll feel good to go home for a while! Have a blessed holiday season everyone!

Well, the title pretty much says it all.

I am going back to France for a couple of weeks, and want to take some of my babies home with me.

Now, I will probably have something in my carry on, but I want to know if it's ok to bring pheros in regular luggage, the kind that would be submitted to altitude pressure and colder temperature.

What is the general rule of thumb?

I would prefer to carry all my pheros in my big suitcase, and avoid any potentially embarassing episode going through security with pheros in my purse.

I remember reading something about alcohol mixes being more 'sensitive' to flying, but I think oil was supposed to be safer.

Let me know if you think I should post this in the "questions to Mara" section!

Thanks!!

I would say that from my experience, yes, it makes a big difference.

My best example is Garland & Lace. Lace (the phero mix in it) seems to work so much better with the diffusive scent of Garland & Lace.

It is not a dosage issue, meaning I don't think I am ODing when wearing Lace full strength, because I have been known to slather like a maniac with G&L without any problem, on the contrary.

I have found that you need to find what works for you and your personal chemistry though. Some people will amp a certain not while it might turn weird or fade quickly on someone else's skin.

Popularity Potion is a phero mix that, for some reasons, seems to work very very well with no scent added. PP is very odorant to me, and my skin amps it for sure, so it could be why.

Whereas LACE seems to "disapear" on my skin by itself. I wear Lace with diffusive scents that have banana or pink notes in them.

I have experimented also with scents that work with copulins, and two big winners are warm vanilla scents, and banana. Vanilla in particular, seems to get me more hits.

Hope this help! ;-)

Ok soooo... got this one in the mail today. Oh the self effects. Phew!....

The scent was pretty odd at first, I smelt a ton of cops, but no worry the dry down is just perfect. Some vanilla sweetness, some patchouli "aura", some... creamy note with a hint of cheese to make it interesting! I like it a LOT.

Now for the sexpionage mix in it, this is a winner for sure!!!

I try to observe the self effects after application.

It definitely turned me on, so I knew there was some cops, then I knew there was some anol in the mix, because of the rush of energy I felt, and there was something else, that I couldn't put my finger on. It was something agressive, provocative. I checked the composition of the sexpionage mix, and anone is in there, so it makes sense.

This mix feels strong, but not intimidating. It's a mix that would be perfect for the kind of women that like to take charge & comfortable with her sexuality. I am gonna have fun with this one!

SillyKitty - Yeah, I do get mail on Saturday, but I think Vet's Day on Thurs held it up in transit a bit (I got my notice late Wednesday).

 

I love MX335 (grapefruit scented 135) & I'm thinking of going with 335, Cougar UN, Instant Sexy B (another one I have great results with) and a little Lace or maybe a spritz or two of Flying Potion, all covered with LP Autumn '10. I can't see using 135 'cause of the Chocolatini scent, I don't think it will mix with LP Autumn well...

 

Cops, flippin' always! I just use them in my body lotion after my shower. Love the way that works....

 

Hoping for mucho hugs tonight!

Paganlady,

How exactly to you work the cops with your body lotion? You do the mixing yourself? I'm curious! ;-)

My PP hasn't gotten here yet due to the PO being closed on Vet's Day....

 

SO,

 

Instead of PP, what shall I use???

 

I have MX135 & 335 (I'd probably go with 335 as I plan on covering with LP Autumn '10), or can I mix Lace Un, AD TAH & IS/B???

 

I also have Leather, but that makes me a little ballsy & scares my friend Joe a little....

 

Or, I wonder what would happen if I mix Cougar & MX335

 

Argggggh! Decisions!!!!!

Mmm tough one... I like the options you have though.

Let's see... IS B works more consistently on me than mx 135, but it might be just me.

Mx 135, if you go for it, was great paired with some cops + TAH. Had a lot of fun with that mix.

Lace is great, super feminine and sexy, although maybe a tad less fun than IS B. I really love both. Lace feels a bit more feminine and intimate for some reasons. If you use it, wear some strong diffusive cover scent to really put the pheros out there. Garland and Lace is so great for many reasons, one of them being that the scent is intoxicating and diffuses really well.

Well, I'm there with you Tyvey.....I have gotten great results from Treasured Hearts....whenever I have gotten ready to have one of those "difficult" conversations, it is the one I have turned to.....

Yes, it's true Treasured Heart is the blabber mouth mix for me.

On Cuddle Bunny, I am talking about Ail's original version, the scented one, not the one that is unscented, and that is supposed to be much more sexual.
