Well my order is growing like crazy but I figure if there is anything I really like, I will have to wait until January to order more...so why not get the samples now and have some fun.

Glad to hear that there are several applications in each tester for the scents. Given what some say about something not working well one day but being much better on another occasion or applying it and having something come up that interrupts a good testit will be nice to have several test runs out of a sample. I am not worried abut the unsecented pheros being strong. I will definately start off in the less is better frame of mind and build up to find my sweet spots. I like that many of you document how much and where applied so that you can go back and reference it later. Starting a jurnal for this will be very helpful. You guys have so many good tips!!!!

Thank you all. I have been reading through the descriptions in search of something that might remind me of dew n the petals of lightly scented flowers. The kind that usually only bloom at night which includes primrose and some Jasmines as well. Just that clean damp wiff you get on a dewy night while out for a walk. Kind of like a secret garden of sorts that most do not see since they only open at dusk. Maybe with a hint of dewy violet or lilac but not heavy scents more of the barely there scents.

When I lived in the country I remember being out at dusk and watching the moonflowers and primroses open. It was a still night with the scents slowly lofting through the air. I know I have been stopped in my tracks ( by my nose) and had to search out the scents of flowers before. Since most of the time all I could smell was bug repellent, floral scents were welcome. LOL

Any suggestions that would come close to night time dewy light florals? Maybe with a hint of damp grass or a bit of mossy tossed in?

As far as the 1.5ml sample size goes, about how many applications do you get? I realize that there would be a difference based on a ight vs heavy application. Just wondering how much of the sample would be needed to get a good sense of the scent.

I haven't been a member long and already I have turned into a full blown review stalker. LOL Kudos to the members for describing things so well...it really gives an idea of the scent and how it evolves...still looking for more on Tickle Tickle but I guess people are just getting their packages so there should be more to come.

I have a feeling when I order...waiting for the box to arrive will make me like a giddy little girl waiting to open her presents on Christmas day.

Well I still think that if she were to wear something out around people and get some nice comments...she may change her tune there. Many women enjoy being told they smell good....and if it were situation where pheros were invoved, she may be able to see the difference they cn make. Some of the phero stories here are great.......... But a massage can't hurt either.....maybe pheroed massage oil?

QG - I used to be one that wasn't into perfume. I changed.... You could always gift her some "Pheroed" body lotion or something. LOL There are a lot of products out there that could probably be juiced up a bit that aren't perfumes. A lightly scented bubble bath....perhaps.

Christmas is coming....be creative. If she wears something with a light scent and others comment on how well she smells and she gets any of the good self effects of the pheros...she may just want to try more. Normally I would say that in an everyday situation it may come off differently as in "I want you to smell better" or " There is something missing...try this" But this time of year it wouldn't be just out of the blue...this time of year magically provides opportunities.............12 days of Christmas???? maybe a small gift each day and some can be scents or scented massaage oil. A gift with a sample bottle......possibilities are endless.

I used to live in the country and my Ex was not creative in that way. One Christmas I got a shovel....granted I needed it for my garden but even though I was not into scents at the time I would have rather had a bottle of sweet smelling lotion.....the shovel wasn't the end of the world....I just realized he didn't see me as someone who would appreciate a fragrance. And he wasn't an appreciative kind of guy so what I would "like" didn't really enter the equation.

Thanks for the advice Dolly. I have LAM on the list. May add an OCCO or two as well. Was thinking RED for sure. I like the sound of all of the LAMs so will probably end up with a few of those.

I have had EOW before Becca. I really did not know how to properly use it at the time so I gave up. I understand the strong odor it puts off and will be smarter about it this time. Reading the description of the sheer essence it sounds like it would be easy to use.

How diluted is the sheer essence? Is this the first time it has been available or has anyone tried it before?

Thank you very much Tyvey. I will look into more on the scent end. I do not want to OD or send people running from my general direction...LOL

As for blends I was thinking about unscented samplles of La Femme Mystere, Bang, SS4W, Gotcha, Perfect Match, Lace and probably some EOW to add a bit when I want to. I am still adding to the list but wanted some socials as well and it seems Perfect Match and Lace may work well for that.

Thank you Dolly. I was just looking at LP original and Red. I think Black would be nice to try and see how it smells on me.

I think one of the biggest things to be learned from all of the posts ( and there are so many things to be learned) is that these are complex scents that can smell completely different on the skin after a bit than in the bottle.

I do intend to push my envelope a bit Dolphindolls2. as long as there are samples to be had...I will continue to try new things. I relate it to finding whole new me. I have tried many new things since my divorce.....I realized I ike sex. Who knew!!! LOL

I never really wore the "darker" type scents but the descriptions make me want to. I am going to try and get a few foodie, a few floral, a few fruity, and a few of the more exotic along with some of the unscented blend samples and I am for sure getting Garland and Lace, Cougar Potion and LaSylphide. Always loved the smell of Lavender, Vanilla and spices like pumpkin , cinnamon and chai. I am new to the complex mixing that brings out notes in a scent that is better than any one of the ingredients. I am interested to read more reviews of Tickle Tickle as well..

Great job Luna!!!!...Seems like almost everyone I read makes me think I have to have it...LOL

Reading through the scent descriptions makes me feel like I have landed somewhere over the rainbow.They are all so vivid!!!!

I have a feeling my first order is going to be quiet varied....then I can just tweak my collection as I go. Good thing there are samples available!!!

Very smart advice. I will keep all of that in mind. Especially your advice Eggers. I will find things I enjoy.

Thank you so much everyone. I think Garland and Lace is staying on my list and I will be trying Cougar. I have seen quite a few scents that have notes I love but I will be willing to push my comfort zone in samples to see if it is something I will like. I think the complexity of the scents here is what really sold me on the need to order something to try...just hard to limit the list as it starts growing.I am so glad many have samples available.

Thank you Luna. I will keep that in mind as I continue to read through posts.

Thank you for your replies. And thank you Halo. I just wanted to get suggestions that were not aimed at 20 somethings. LOL

The more I look the more I want....sounds like the typical problem around here. My list is growing as I read comments....but I figure it is like stocking a pantry. It always costs more up front to stock it then it isn't as bad to replace things or add new items to it.

Just joined this forum after reading many of the posts. I have to admit some made me laugh out loud. Reading about blow drying your lollipop and running around naked flapping your arms doing some crazy dry your mone dance. Got to admit you ladies know how to laugh and that is important in life.

Now to my question. I am 46, been divorced for 5 years afer a 21 year marriage, have seen two men in the 5 years (off and on type nothing serious)...I have been mostly busy starting over in life. I have made myself a promise that I would start getting out more and looking for a serious relationship. I work some overnights so that hasn't left me feeling like I want to just get out there...I am currently on birth control and I know that can make a difference in mones as well. I have been in places where men my age or older have made comments about other women's perfume being too sweet or "cutesy" and stated they thought she was trying to seem younger. Not sure if mones would make a difference in their preference for scent but I woulld like to know what the older women here have had success with. I realize that not all men are interested in the same things scent wise but more older men just seem to be turned off by the really sweet ones. I don't have any sweet scents right now so I haven't tested that out. Just an observation. I don't need to smack them over the head like a cave woman...just want to start off with getting some extra attention so I can sort the wheat from the chaff ( some guys are happy in the perpetual hunter role and are not going to settle on one woman. Some are game players and some litterally just love to play video games) It seems like the good hearted, hard working guys that would appreciate a good partner are so busy working they do not get out much LOL

I am planning a fairly large first order ( before the 25th of the month of course) and plan on mostly the unscented blends just to get a feel of how they are individually before adding scents that are also new to me but have to admit Garland and ace sounds like a good mix. I was glad to see that I found LP just in time for the November sale of trial sized unscented blends so that I can try quite a few. I am looking for some suggestions as to what should be in a basic arsenal of blends.

Thank you in advance and I am looking forward to any suggestion you have.
