Okay after work this AM I dabbed a bit of this on myself before going to bed. I wanted to see if it was a sharp soap smell and it wasn't sharp to me at all. A little goes a long way but I like the scent. I slept for a few hour and awoke to the glorious smell equivalent to being wrapped up in a pile of towels fresh from the dryer ( minus the heat of course) Just an absolutely comfortable, snugly, fresh-washed scent. This one is a winner for me.

I have one report for this mix. Yesterday I got my box and smelled all of the bottles and samples. This one did not really appeal to me but since I had sprayed myself with Cougar potion I added a small spray to my tummy and rubbed it in trying to think of what intent I needed.....I went out to my vehicle last night to go to work ( I work overnights) and had found someone else in the building had shoveled it all out. We just got a wet snow of about 18-24 inches then it froze...so that was not an easy thing to do and most just seem to take care of their own needs ( I have lived in this neighborhood for 6 years and never had this happen before.) Given that it was 9pm, and the windchill was double digit below and getting colder, I was grateful to whoever did that. I do remember just saying thank you out loud when I saw that. It saved me a good 20 minutes of cold. When I got to work it was told to me that i would be receiving a Christmas Bonus...and not some little token type thing that some companies do. an actual nice amount of money. There had been no talk about the bonus before and employees stated that this company has not done that before.... even though I am not the only one to get it, it will come right before Christmas and I am again grateful. I realize that it could all be just a coincidence...but believing is part of the power magic has right? I have lots of sample left but if things continue to look up, I will be getting a FB of this stuff. Also day number two now and it has settled a bit.. I smell the fruit but cannot really pick out a single note. It is all merged on my skin but wore fine with the grapefruit of Cougar.

Thank you Halo. I was just a bit thrown off by the fact it is odorless. I had used EoW briefly in the past and only remember it smelling like awful strong cheesy feet. Even in very small amounts it smelled like cat pee meets cardboard. This stuff is great. I can't really smell the Cops in the OCCO White either and from what I have read they have the most cops of the scented stuff. I guess Mara has done exactly what was needed to cover them. I am loving this place!!!

I will agree with the great reviews on this thread. Very nice light wet scent more a like dew wet not heavy rain or lake wet. I was hoping it would be a light scent that would remind me of a dewy night just as the sun goes down or just before dawn....the air just seems light then but still moist. I was really looking for one like this.

Just going from the sniff so far, I think this is a fabulous scent. I agree with the comment about it being more the essence of soap rather than the soap...like you washed and rinsed but that clean scent lingers. Or for those thinking dryer sheet....it is more like the smell of clothes after being dried with it...not like sniffing a dryer sheet right from the box. I didn't get a sharp slap in the face soap smell but I will let it settle and see how it goes. If it gets a bit stronger in the vile, I will just add a touch like others suggested. I like the scent so I will have fun testing this one. Not sure if a tiny dab will be enough for the sexology part but I am going to concentrate on how the scents I bought react with my skin first and worry about the pheros effects later.

Well I added another order so they were both sent together and that delayed the first one a little. That was fine since my first order was a biggie. I liked only having to track one box and getting it all at once.....Whoo Hooo! Now I have so much to try through December....guess my Christmas bonus is going to go to a January order. LOL

In the bottle it smells like a beautiful light floral. I will be trying this one next to see what is does on my skin.....Cougar Potion was first. If my skin changes it too much for the worse, I will make it a spray and add a spritz to my clothes so I get the scent the way it smells out of the bottle. As of right now I am really glad I snagged a bottle f this stuff.

I just got my box today so I am sure scents will change a bit as they settle...but at this point the Garland and Lace smells just like the Heart Strings sample I got. I am sure the notes will change once on my skin but I can't test it tonight as I have Cougar Potion on right now. Can anyone compare the two? I know the Heart Strings is un-pheroed but scent wise just wondering what those thought that tried both.

I am loving Cougar Potion. When I first applied it I got a bit of the butterfly feeling but that quickly went away and I was left with this fantastic smell. Like others have described...bubbly or sparkly and so wonderful to smell. Even if it was not pheroed I would love it...the fact it is makes it that much better.....just a great scent. The grapefruit comes through the most but it seems like so much more. It will be interesting to see if the scent morphs on my skin. I like that it isn't a heavy sexual phero blend and from what others say, many seem to react well to it. I am glad to see this one is permanent because withdraw from it would not be pretty. I will have to get more in January and make sure I don't run out. LOL Update: 6 Hours in and the smell is still great. No real opportunities for hits right now but I need to stop by the store on the way home and it tends to be very busy in the mornings so I will see what happens. Right now just for the selfies I love it....cause I am thinking Damn I look and smell good....LOL

I received my order and when I smelled the Sheer Essence....I couldn't detect any real smell. I know it is EoW diluted to make Cops easier to use but I was wondering if anyone knows how many cops are in it? Without an odor I am just trying to figure what a decent dose is ( But not too many). It states on the bottle it is in a ready to wear form...and it is as far as I can tell. Any information on Sheer Essence would be greatly appreciated.

Ooooooooo!!! I got my box. Everything needs to warm up a bit since it is cold outside ( headed for double digit below readings this weekend). I was worried it would be delayed due to the snow storm we just got but it arrived on time!!!. So many goodies and Thanks Mara for the freebies. I sniffed a few and as of right now I think I need a tanker truck of Cougar Potion. Love that one. River Song, La Sylphide and Love Potion Original are also hits. I need to work tonight so they will all get a chance to sit.I also sniffed a small sample of Call of the Moon....is there anything similar to that smell currently available? that one was nice. After everything has a chance to warm up and settle from the travel shock, I will dive in and add to the reviews....I can't quit huffing Cougar though. Thank you to everyone and Thank you so much to Mara.

I have a sample arriving the day after tomorrow.....I have a feeling that after I get my box and try all my new things.....January won't be able to get here soon enough. LOL I can make the sample into a small spray if needed to tone it down a bit.

I am so glad that those with differing results post what they think. I might have the urge to wash something off that would mellow out into something wonderful after a few hours. It is also good to read how everyone's chemistry effects the same scent so I won't feel bad if something does not work for me. There are so many other things to try if it doesn't. This forum is such a wealth of information!!!

I am loving the way this sounds!!! This is sounding better everyday!!!!!

From reading around here it seems it doesn't just depend on how popular a scent it but if the things to make it are still available. I hope there will be a rebrew if this scent is as good as others described....but I know Mara has a lot on her plate right now so I will wait for my box to arrive and hope I get the beautiful notes out of it that most have. Then I will be like Gollum and his ring....my Precious!!!

Thank you Luna.....I would think ( from what I have read) that the spray would be fine with Lace since it is a social blend. The oils I have had trouble with had a large amount of spice in them so I think I will be fine with these. Also one I had that was mildly spicy made a red spot but it went away within a few minutes. The red areas were indeed on my inner elbows. Backs of my arm had no problems. Less sensitive skin no doubt. Haven't even gotten my first box and I am thinking about January but that sounds like a completely normal reaction around here.

Spices in the essential oils have effected me in the past. If I lotion real well before applying it seems to help.Is Garland and Lace one that can be worn on clothes and hair? If that is the case it won't bother the skin.

My shipped notice arrived in my in-box. I am so excited!!!!

I didn't get a shipped notice from stamps either but like you said it may be in my in box on Monday. I will keep an eye out for it. :-)

I have Firefox for a browser if that makes any difference. I pick the add to cart option, then at the cart you change the quantity to a large number and then hit check out.Just increasing the quantity won't tell you....... It will tell you how many remain after you hit check out then cancel the check out. Not sure if there are issues with other browsers.

It isn't sold out yet. Last I looked ( yesterday) there were still 19 in the cart. I am waiting patiently for my sample to see if it goes medicinal on my skin or if I will get a nice lavender smell. I really want a Lavender scent.

I added OCCO White just under the deadline so I will give it a try when they arrive. From the sounds of it, I think just a dab of OCCO white may work nice. I just thought it may help the vanilla to carry longer and I would be able to add cops when I want without having them in the whole bottle. I also have Sheer Essence on the way but thought the added rich vanilla would work. If it doesn't work, I would still have the Occo White for other occasions.

I am so glad I ordered a FB when I did. When I checked today there were only 4 left in the cart. I am really excited to try this one out. I didn't get mine with Cops. Have any of you tried layering it with OCCO White? Just wondering if they would work well together or if the OCCO would overpower it.

Thank you to everyone who answered my questions. You helped me so much in getting my order figured out. Now I will sit and wait patiently....but I will keep reading around here. The more I look, the more information there is to be learned on this forum. January will be here soon enough and with it will come the chance to get more scents. I hope to be well on my way to figuring out what works well with my skin by then...if I "amp" anything or not...what kind of doses of pheros will work for me. While I think as I get more experience I may not need to document everything, I know to start I will be keeping track.

I can't wait to get mine. I think I will love this scent and the fact that it is paired with LFM is such a bonus!!!!
