Max two of each potion in the Spell Collection FB sets just means you can't get three or more of any of them in the set. You could, as far as I know, get 2 Protection Potion, 2 Van Van, 2 Fascination Potion, 2 Harmonious Self, and 2 Road Opener for example. As for the other question, FB sets work out cheaper than buying individually and this ends up being a bit like buy 8 get 2 free because at the cheapest you'd pay $250 if you bought 10 FBs individually. Maybe that's what you're thinking of. Sorry if I misunderstood the question.

OCCO Ambrosia has been a summer offering for the past two years. I expect Mara will continue the tradition as long as she has the ingredients to rebrew it.

Ah, thank you. I wondered how everyone seemed to have some but I will have missed it when I took my extended break last summer.

Lainey, that's a kind offer, thanks. I hope you love it enough to want to keep it, though!

 

Me too, but that's why I'm asking!

I think I'm a newbie in that regard, too. Or rather many of the scents that seem to inspire slavish devotion predate when I first tried LPs. I did really want to try Katerina Suit when I first came round but I missed it. I'd be happy to see that return just to give it a go. And I love OCCOs so am particularly interested to try Ambrosia. I wonder if that might make a reappearance. I'd not be surprised since there are a number of people who ask for it fairly regularly!

I don't think I have anything particular in mind. Instead I'm really looking forward to getting to try things I don't even know I should miss!

Of course if Lap of Luxury came back...

Yes, this one really sticks in clothes. I do agree that the citrus sparkle fades faster than the other elements of the perfume, but overall I do find that the overall impression of this one lasts and lasts. You could try moisturising well before you apply the oil to make sure it isn't being absorbed because your skin is dry.

Good idea, androstenol!

My goodness, really? It is very strong on my and lasts for about 100 years! Could your nose just be getting used to it after a while so that is isn't as noticeable to you but might still be to those around you?

Fingers crossed!

Your family are wrong.

Love your avi! Yeah, that nonsense of minimising what you want/say/do because teh crazy wimmin hormones is infuriating.

Sure, give Leather a try and you can always get Dom if Leather works but you want something that isn't quite as femme. Unfortunately I don't think it's in any fragrances at the moment. You might just have to see what NRs bring. Not too long now!

...a significant lack of empathy which allows you to believe that your agenda is, in fact, the greater good, and therefore you get shit done.

Yes! I couldn't put my finger on it but that's a perfect explanation!

Edited my above post to make it clear that some folks do find the selfies a bit bitch-juicy after all!

Oooh, rebrews!

Hey, even if it was, we all know "bitches get sh*t done."

Well, I'm glad to hear that Dom isn't really bitch juice because that means there are way more situations in which I can use it.

 

But on the other hand - nothing wrong with bitch juice every once in a while, right? There are definitely situations when I would take a slug of the stuff before wading in there and getting sh*t done!

Ok, when I save up more money next month I will get a sample of it. I can't see any fragrances with it in right now except Dom Noire, which I can't see wearing - so I'll just go with UN.

Ha, well, you can probably take it in that direction if you want to! I just remember being really pleased when I wore it even in slightly fraught situations and people didn't react as if I were being abrasive or anything, they didn't bristle.

Just in case you haven't come across this info yet, Equinox: you can only get unscented phero samples during November's Pheromas. That being said if you don't want to take a chance on an FB (understandable) then you might be able to get someone to decant some for your or split a bottle of unscented Dom with someone else on here.

Hmm.... I love BLAM and adding an OCCO sounds *very* intriguing!

I'm not a big one for citrus but this isn't too much like Pledge! There's a rounded sweetness that makes it a bit more gentle rather than in-your-facy tangy thanks to the pink fruit and the amber. Can't wait for the weather to heat up so I can wear this out on the town!

I've only ever triggered a migraine with scent, not unscented pheros, though I lot of a-nol (I mean a whopping great lot to cause a touch of OD) can make me feel a woozy and ill for a bit. I actually find that cops seem to soothe my hormonal mixed tension migraines.

I hope it is just something in Secret Sweetness and not Gotcha. SS has several florals and I get the impression that florals are pretty common triggers of headaches and migraines. I'd wager that it's the perfume and not the pheros, but it doesn't hurt to proceed with caution until you know what caused your monster headache.

Yes, both, but as has basically already been said, pheros won't change your personality. What they can do is nudge things and if you or the people around you are open to being nudged in whatever direction the pheros point toward then the pheros can move things along that way.

Speaking of Dom in particular, I get the impression that the description and name make people who haven't tried it before feel a bit concerned that it might be bitch juice, perhaps in part because of cultural baggage around dominant women. I am here to tell you (as will some of Dom's other fans, I think) that it is not usually sharp or harsh in the way it boosts that dominant edge; it's not bitch juice... unless you're like Beccah and you use it when you have PMS! What it does do is put you in charge, both in the minds of others and for yourself. That second effect is the one that is most likely to work to give you a boost to that part of your personality if it is latent. Dom is one of the select few phero blends from which I get discernible selfies and it does make me feel confident and in control, and lends a bit of swagger.

Based on what you've posted here I think Dom will be great for you to stop having to "make everyone play nicely" and instead "get sh*t done". Not only will Dom send others the signal that now is not the time for them to be difficult, but in my experience it will give you relief from worrying about going round in circles to please everyone and instead let you take control and focus on results.

ETA: It's clear that some other folks experiences bitchy feelings themselves with Dom but I haven't experienced that. This is what happens when you speak in terms of sweeping generalisations! What has been important to me is that I haven't experienced others responding with a sort of 'who does that bitch think she is' vibe, which was more my concern when I was first experimenting with Dom than that it would make me feel bitchy. That is just my normal state of play!

Wouldn't it be cool if Mara didn't have enough time to come up with NR, so she re-brew'd some of our favorite LPs?

Crafty thinking, cutie.pie.

Yes! The power of scent memory cannot be overstated. Remind him of that night when he decided to go for it and ask you out with the same scent as well as phero.

You'll hear lots of folks on here talk about sticking with the same phero 'signature' when getting to know someone better; you don't want to suddenly not smell like yourself as he understands it. Basically, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Since LP: Rouge and LFM worked so well for you I'd stick with this spray and use a bit of your copped LFM scented with Une (I think that's what you have, yes?) on your torso and cleavage. If you want to scale back the overt sexiness you could leave out the touch of LAM from your original combo.

I'm so glad you had such a great time with LFM. I think you've experienced the magical one-two punch of LPs, which is that the wonderful scents like Rouge draw in your targets and while they're there the pheros really hook them. Also, I'm not much of one for combos, but the ones you used are all quite logical ones (LFM+cops+LAM) and it worked so well that I'd be very tempted to give that a try. Thanks for the inspiration.

Oh, and enjoy your date!

YAY!

You must have smelled good enough to eat!

Excellent plan! Bring on May 1st!

Lawsie mercy I love Sexology III, but yes, it does have some notes that might not agree with everyone. As it is permanent you are safer getting a sample. Have a read of the Sexology III reviews if you like.
