Wow, Blackcat!

I'm really looking forward to trying this one for the scent and the phero (and the name!) but we'll have to see which way it goes on me.

This is so pink and sugary when wet that I'm not overly enamoured. As it begins to dry down, though, I get some of the florals and I can smell the lemon distinctly. It really cuts through the sweetness in a way I find refreshing. Unsurprisingly with all those notes it does become more complex and interesting once it has dried for a few hours. While I don't get any of the chocolate (not a problem) and the lemon goes after the first hour (I'd guess) the woods, amber, etc. finally ground all the sugar and it becomes something I like more than when first applied. As for the phero, from reading reviews it seems like it is really variable in how much is ideal for each person, from tiny dabs to pretty generous applications. I am utterly rubbish at knowing how much of anything to wear so I tried to sort of experiment yesterday. I applied additional amounts as the day went on to see if I could get to my sweet spot and then exceed it with OD. I have read on these boards to expect pheros to last for about 4-5 hours, so I assumed that the top-up method I was using was indeed increasing the amount I was wearing rather than just sustaining it. I ended up wearing about what I'd guess was up to 1/4 of a trial vial and I actually think I hit my sweet spot not long before getting to that amount. It was hard to gauge at work because it was my last day and I left at lunch, but one of the volunteers did talk to me for about 45 minutes about, well, everything. We're friendly anyway but he knew I had to leave for an appointment and he just kept going on about the most pointless stuff. So, I think I blame the PP. Also, at lunch we all got together to have cake for my leaving and one of the more aloof (or rather, awkward) guys ended up sort of holding court and telling stories about his youth. Maybe a hit, as we were all shut up in a hot lunchroom so I must have been filling the room with a Sweet Chic cloud. The guy sitting across from me on the tram gave me what I think was a positive result. He did seem to look at me more than is usual for strangers on trams but the thing that really struck me as was that when he got off he walked past my window and *smiled* at me. We did not interact on the tram. I was wearing headphones and keeping to myself. I did glance at him a few times early on because I thought he was familiar and I was trying to place him, so maybe he thought I was making eyes but yeah, the smile was weird. Then I came home and put on some more Sweet Chic (and a bit of OCCO) before I went to choir. I don't know if I reached OD, actually. Although the girl I set next to and who usually talks to me a fair bit seemed somewhat subdued in general people were really rather friendly and chatty to me. Indeed, Adorable Choir Director and one of the other girls stopped to say hello as they passed me on the street. Again, I was wearing headphones and hadn't looked up to greet them first. So, pheros? Oh, and the person who smells me the most responded to Sweet Chic + OCCO more than perhaps anything I've worn before, so PP lends itself to sexy cops boosts very happily for me, I think. Maybe next time I'll dump the rest of the vial over myself and see what happens.

Ditto. I haven't been around long enough to even be able to wager a guess. This is only the third set of releases I'm stalking, after all!

Thank you!

Wow. I hadn't been too interested in this one but you folks have written some very alluring reviews!

Oh, I'm a Unicorn Jockey!

This thread is a gem. I know it'd old but I'm glad it has been revived so I could find it. Thanks to everyone who has shared some of their knowledge (and asked useful questions).

Whee! Makes this grey morning a bit brighter knowing my parcel will arrive in a few days. You folks must have got a real wiggle on. Thank you! Of course then I have to wait two weeks until Mom brings it over. Deep breaths...

I have (so far) been more of a wait for reviews kind of person, but with that strategy there's always the risk that something might sell out!

Welcome!

Naughty... but wise!

Oh, I wish I had got some now! If it is still around for my next order I shall have to get a trial vial.

You found what now? Link? Gratz all!

Oh, this one sounds so promising. I can't wait until it gets here!

I'm so looking forward to getting this one!

That's a great one! Congratulations! It's from Nanny and the Professor, a show that ran 1970 to 1971. Phoebe is the nanny and female lead. I had to google it!

Ah, I see. You mean you don't want people thinking you brushed your teeth with gin!

What about?

Ha!

Oh, that is so weird. Perfume has a will of its own.

Thank you. I know everyone's different but I think this feedback is telling me I need to try wearing WAY more of the BANG!/SS4W family than I would expect, especially if it's in a fragrance.

That's something, anyway. I've got to try this Aja business. I have no dirty honey fear.

Indeed!

This isn't by any means universally acknowledged, but wet and on application I find there are similarities between this and Sexology, so if you like Sexology (and you can wear honey -- I've learned not everyone can) then you might think of popping a trial vial of Phero Girl in your next order. I think you'll be glad you did.
