It's just so... pretty is the best word. Everything melds wonderfully and just leaves a beautiful, slightly sweet feminine floral.

I have tried five or six sprays (starting with two and topping up one spray at a time over a three hour period) and still had nothing I can link clearly to the phero, phergineer! If anything it improved my mental acuity in terms of insight. As you may imagine this is a pretty woolly thing to assess. It tried it before work but ended up having to spend a lot of time travelling rather than working that day so I only had pondering rather than actual hard graft to do! As it is in spray I know it burns off relatively quickly, so I'm thinking I'll try five sprays all at once today; it's possible that spreading out application meant I never actually felt the full force of all five sprays I used. Halo reported a sweet spot of 6-8 sprays! Don't be afraid to try more if fewer sprays aren't working for you.

Oh you're making me miss coffee milk!

Oh, excellent idea! I haven't tried either of those Crayons scents but both sounded good. Deffo going to save some pennies in the hopes of trying this one!

This one sounded interesting when the NR notes went up. If it hangs around for a while I might want to get it for spring as you suggest, Blackcat.

PM and Sexology are excellent of romantic bonding. I adore the scented Sexology III.

LV, I don't think I've congratulated you on your news elsewhere/already so: congratulations and best wishes for you and baby!

Hopefully not too woozy! Congratulations! And I'm so pleased to be Madame Leota!

Welcome to the boards, Starrgirl!

Oh, welcome!

Enjoy your date!

Ephoebe makes a good point: if you let try not to worry about this for a bit and wait for things to happen at their own pace maybe you can both stop (over)thinking into a stalemate, which you say make it clear is a concern of yours. If he's terrified of getting physical and has been brave enough to tell you then I suggest you really push yourself to be patent. Let him take the time he needs to feel safe and ready. If you want to use some pheros to help move his mind in that direction then why not? But still, it sounds like he really needs you to move slowly and incrementally. I'm speaking from experience and I know this can be frustrating. I am involved with a man who is just utterly wonderful but in the early days, while we could talk for hours, he was afraid to do much more than hug. It turned out to be a long wait that relaxed by increments but it was worth it and I felt good about respecting his needs and boundaries. Guys can need as much patience and time to feel right about moving to the next level as we generally expect men to give to women. Have you tried adding cops to the Gotcha! you're already wearing to stick with a consistent phero signature? If you want to change tack BI is the obvious choice, but I would be a tad concerned about the Enone. If he is anxious about the physical side then perhaps the more in-your-face sexual pheros will put him off. What about Sexology? If he has responded to Gotcha! he's probably not afraid of Est. The B-nol will keep up that feeling of bonding that is in Gotcha! and has been building in your interactions already. Sexology also has plenty of cops and I have had great results with it. You might have it UN but I happen to love the scented version. Good luck!

Oh, wow! I think you've made some Christmas wishes come true already, Mara!

LOL, that's the, erm, natural opening that exists there but "enhanced" by questionable artistry. It's a c. 1470s drawing of a badge for William Hastings, 1st Baron Hasting depicting his face on a manticore. I cannae tell you why this motif was chosen! He was a Yorkist during the Wars of the Roses and he rose to particular power and prominence during the rule of Edward IV. He then took the dead Edward's mistress, Jane Shore, as his own, got embroiled in a conspiracy (probably) and was executed in 1483 for treason against Richard III. Congratulations on your new rank!

Ding! A holiday snack for a festive manticore!

I tried this in LP Flutterby and while there were some possible responses from those around me the main difference I noticed was in myself. I went out of my way to be sociable and helpful to strangers all over the supermarket, then to meet someone for a snack on a whim. Luckily none of them seemed afraid of my intense friendliness!

I have had really positive results with Gotcha! recently; it seems to work at least as well on women as on men. It makes things open and companionable even with people I've never met before and it lends the possibility of taking that in a romantic direction. I wore Gotcha! to a party recently and had amazing responses across the board -- mainly friendly but one very clearly romantic/sexual. I added a dab of cops to the touch that it already contains. I think it could be a great choice for your speed dating.

Aw, glad to hear that you've found an application amount that works for you. It sounds like you have also built up a tolerance, which seems a good thing in this case!

I'll certainly start at 1 next time, then GiJ.

Gratz, QG. Nice to see your avi sporting seasonal attire!

phergineer, I just want to make it clear that I've had largely positive social effects with LFM. I was just thinking that in a speed dating pool with a goal of being chosen by as many as possible I'd be mindful of the chance that LFM might make me seem too mysterious for some. I hope it goes swimmingly, GiJ!

Lady V, Bella, others who might love some info on this scoreI: erm, so, some men find this sexy to a serious and sort of unstoppable extent, as demonstrated in recent fieldwork. The response was one that suggests this is some sort of beauty elixir. Apparently every look was beautiful and "that sexy one" and... it was honestly just my sleepy-time face. He thought otherwise. I didn't notice any particular sexy self-effects. Oh, and this was without adding any cops. So, yes, those who are thus inclined might consider seriously trying cops with this one.

This is amazingly coincidental because I've tried this again tonight and it smells so different from the first time. Hormones? My cold being totally gone? Who can say? It is exactly the powdery and not at all green lavender/amber you mention and on this occasion the vanilla settling at the back. The amber in particular is so much more noticeable this time round. I like this one even better than I did before!

Hmm, might have to get a little sample to dab on the men in my life!

Yum! I loved this one! I got a lot of musk from this especially in the early stages after application. I also get something that reminds me of cocoa butter. I assume it's the combination of vanilla and sandalwood. Sadly I didn't detect maple and I also couldn't pick out tobacco on its own but I think that was lurking in the background giving the other notes some weight. Also, I can never get enough sandalwood and it was fairly quiet here. Things were pretty well balanced from the start but particularly as time went on found that everything was blended very well so that while some individual notes were clearer than others nothing stood out head and shoulders above the rest. Everything was warm, slightly sweet, but sophisticated. It lasted for hours! On me it was not particularly unisex but quite feminine. I'm not sure what came of the phero as it was my first time trying it, so I didn't know what to look out for. Our office was a much more pleasant place to be than I expected based on bad news we received yesterday. I thought that, since we're all women, this might help keep us all feeling calm, safe, and protected. We all hung together really well as a team and found plenty of chances to laugh. Maybe the phero works some magic after all!
