LOL. If anyone tried that much they could always stand on a tall building and play Cupid for a whole city on Valentine's Day!

It is amazing how much a drop covers. I had to do some real searching to get pipettes that were marked in .25 ml increments because the ones I had originally were just too big. 1 ml is like a perfume or phero bath!

Most folks seem to measure on the length of the strip they apply with the roller ball if they have things in oil, say 5 inches on each forearm. If you don't mind taking the top off of RBs you could get pipettes which will let you measure exactly how much you apply in ml.

Perfect Match seems the closest in intention to the perfume, but of course this only matters if you like PM. Second choice: Gotcha!

Ah, well, eminently sensible in that case!

I really do want to give it a try. I hope this one sticks around until I next make an order so I can snag a trial.

Oh, I forgot there even was any earth in Summer Belle; I can wear it without any difficulty. Maybe this one will be fine.

I think the change to spray was great for Cougar because, as you say, it lightened things. I had found the musk a bit heavy and cloying sometimes (especially if I had a hormonal headache coming on) rather than sparkly sometimes. No more! And I agree that I can't see a heavier foody scent working quite as well... but there's always a chance. You make an interesting point about strong scents and diffusion/projection making them actually seem stronger in spray. I'll keep that in mind. I can certainly feel the temptation to convert the socials/lightly sexy socials pretty much universally! I will try not to inhale the fog so I don't bomb myself! And remember to let the converted sprays have a rest if they seem off at first. Maybe a novel, but a very useful one!

Paypal means this doesn't work anymore! But you will smell good, so who cares?

I don't dislike it patently, I don't think, but just found it too forward in Bat. I thought I smelled like a cellar. It kind of sounds like it will be more restrained or balanced in this one. Can any of you comment? Is this just wishful thinking on my part?

Yeah, the earth note leaves people pretty divided.

Yum! I want to go and cook this up!

I don't think I've tried a single one of the N-Z list. It's like an LP museum!

Thanks for chiming in Vladmyra! That's very encouraging. I have mostly done as you've discussed... my arithmetic is not always trustworthy, though! ETA: I tried the Cougar first and my initial observations are that it smells quite different in this form (pinker, more sparkly-feeling musk, more sugar) and is possibly having causing some self-effects. Feeling more confident, more 'up'.

Indeed!

It... it doesn't? This is what it does on my most of the time, too. If this is cough syrup-free then I sort of have to get this one. Not candy? This is the other thing cherry has done on me that I don't like. Right, I have to get it now, don't I? I mean, Mara has gone to all the trouble of rebrewing, after all. It would be rude not to get one!

That is actually exactly what I want. I can't stomach much normal breakfast time but 10-10:30 is perfect. Maybe I am a hobbit. That explains the weird tall dude in a hat who sits on the wall and smokes a pipe.

Yes, wow, that a lovely compendium. I think I've only smelled two or three of the scents listed.

No plans to record but there will be a small team there from our org. so not just me on my own. Interesting idea but I can't see them giving their consent to be recorded!

Oh, ding! Hairy feet!

It is torturing me that I couldn't spring for this one... but reading all of your reviews is making it an exquisite sort of torture.

Oh, thank you so much for the link! I want opals more than ever now; I'd just be so afraid of breaking one. At least you don't have to worry about that with the perfume version!

Thanks all. I'm happy to steer clear of pheros and just let them make their own mess if they are so inclined. I don't dare to OD on cops (or anything else) in case, as a number of you have pointed out, it backfires. It is because I won't step out of line in terms of provoking them directly that I wondered about pheros. I've been the one who has been working to calm them down by using my mental health worker voice, trying to bring things to a calm place through hours-long meetings with them when they started off with raised voices defensive attitudes, refusing to listen or take responsibility, etc. So, our big boss has got sick of gently-gently and wants to try and get them into a compliance meeting. I've used SWS up to now. If I had known what they were going to be like in the last meeting I would have just Dom'd them! BlueBear, I love the "come to Jesus meeting". That is exactly it. I can't get too much into detail, obviously, but I wouldn't hope for people to trip up unless they were really bad news. We're talking stuff involving shortchanging disabled people but there is no concrete evidence we can use that takes this out of the realm of hearsay. Thus all reminders for notes are helpful. At least we will have a record of how they respond when this stuff is put to them face-to-face. It will be yet another attempt to scare them straight that -- based on their track record -- may end up pissing them off anyway. The particulars of our contract mean that we aren't looking at a definitive contract renewal, just rolling extensions. Thus we are sort of stuck for now unless they seriously underperform or step out of line. StacyK, I am not Peyton Place-class and even if I were I wouldn't want to actively entrap them. Our strategy is clear on our tones and statements staying professional but pressing the necessary issues; if that gives them enough rope to hang themselves then so be it. I suppose what I'm really after is something that will let whatever inner unprofessional impulses they have come out when they're called to account... but it might be too volatile of a situation to go for True Confessions or T.M.I. That's probably more the kind of thing I want, though. Everything that will rile them up is going to be out in the open, based on the facts of their own shortcomings. It really is about helping them to let their inability to respond properly come out on display rather than provoking them for its own sake. Thanks for the well-wishes, cutie.pie!

Great background story. I hope your emotional work is a success. I'm such a fan of opals and the notes in this one sound outstanding. Just one thing, though: I don't think the link has posted properly and I'm keen to read it!

Hi, folks. I need some advice. I'm after riling up some people I have to meet with for work. We contract them to deliver a service but we are not happy with them and the situation has become a major pain in the arse despite all efforts to make things go right. Unfortunately we are not yet at point where we can terminate the contract. I will be in a meeting with them to discuss some issues but we are actually hoping they will lose their cool and be sufficiently unhelpful/unprofessional that we can call them into a contractual compliance meeting and then start severing ties. Based on prior interactions it is possible that they will enter in defensive, shouty mode but we want to guarantee it. We need to remain polite and professional while quietly driving them to distraction so they behave badly enough for us to call said compliance meeting. I know the LP blends are meant to be helpful and not baneful, but I'm wondering if anyone has found a combo or dosage -- or even combined a harder phero with a bitchy intent -- to get people on the back foot. They are women, by the way. And thought my first thought would be Dom I've never had results that suggest people bristle when I wear it; it's totally smooth. This is great most of the time but not exactly for this situation. And I don't want them to just sit quietly and listen, either! Any ideas?
