  1. Welcome! It was just about this time last year that I was on the same "quest" as you are, LOL. You are VERY lucky to have found LP, and the forums will be a great source of info and guidance as you learn what works for your situation. I ordered several recommended samples to try initially, and I do recommend starting with Mara's Phero blend perfumes because the ratios are already figured out for you. One of the first ones I tried (highly recommended to me) was Compromising Positions (w/Sexpionage) that is my fav sex blend by far. I've already blown through 3 bottles. OCCO Ambrosia is SO, but you may be able to find it on the trades. LAM is a very close second to Compromising Positions as far as effectiveness goes. I'd also get some samples from the Nov Pheromas group such as Coquette and Secret Sweetness! You'll have quite a bit of "homework" to do early on... I recommend reading as much as you can in the LP Reading Room (link on the actual Perfumerie homepage) and here are 2 forum lists from Mara that I refer to regularly when I'm looking for a specific Phero blend: http://lovepotion.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=7542 http://lovepotion.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=7966 Then have fun with your "experiments" and "case studies" as you see what works!
  2. Just so I get it right - please send them to me! Do you want me to request an email exchange & do it that way?
  3. Mara... I may be dreaming this, but is there a Sugared Bamboo? For some reason I thought there was. I was writing in my next sugared picks and put "Bamboo" but now I don't see it?!
  4. OMG please Mara... this scent ages so perfectly too (not that mine had a WHOLE lot of time to age, mind you). If there was a rebrew I'd want at least 2 bottles. It has honestly turned out to be my fav PE (and that's a tall order behind Blackcat's Sunset Kiss, LOL). What gets me is that I read the ingredients and I can't discern any of them for too long - they meld and morph together in something so indescribably unique, and while the scent is never overbearing, it lasts a very long time on me. I'd also love to amp this with something - and I'm open to suggestions. I think it would be awesome with OW or MLH or even the new MegaWatt. My husband absolutely loves this on me, but I'm not sure if any of the heavier sex pheros would change the scent too much. Audacious would be a perfect compromise (but unfortunately that's no longer an option). Wendy if there is no rebrew I may have to cheat and request a copycat PE
  5. I've looked everywhere for a review of this one and I can't find one, but this has to be my fav wax melt, hands down. Now, it's no secret that LP Original has secured a place in my heart as a scent I never want to be without, but having it in a wax melt with Gotcha! is just incredible. I save these for when my SO and I have a night alone in the house (a rarity) and it creates such a nice, relaxed, loving vibe. I'd love LP with Perfect Match too... oh hell who am I kidding? I'd love LP Original in a virgin wax melt or anything that Mara can throw in with it! Thanks Potion Master for giving us a way to enjoy LPO beyond just slathering on that magical elixir~

    Land of Nog

    This one is really yummy - reminds me a lot of Because the Night, I'm sure because of the almond. Wet and in the first 15-20 min I can't help but think of freshly baked Trader Joe's Almond croissants (without the calories, thank you). I wear this one solely for me though... it's like Wolfsbane to my teen boys (TeenWolf ) I slather this (or BTN) on and LOVE the way I smell - but my boys start sneezing and get outta my way, LOL. I suppose I could slather a little more conservatively - but now it's kinda fun because I get this yummy almond pastry forcefield around me and some much needed alone time! It does settle nicely into a creamy, eggnog skin scent after a few hours. I think this would make an awesome wax melt or simmer oil! If you love a creamy, smooth almond/cherry pastry scent then I absolutely recommend you visit the Land of Nog.
  7. This one was a tough sell for me because I'm not a big fan of floral scents on me (I'll take a bouquet any day though!) I was actually surprised because it wasn't overbearing or 'old lady' perfume-y. I found it more like the actually fresh cut lily smell, with a clandestine hint of fresh cut stems and green leaves woven within the fragrance. I would love to creatively layer this one with some other non-floral sugareds and see what morphs! Open to suggestions as I'm still in a learning curve.
  8. This has turned out to be one of my favorite sugareds. There were SO many yummy vanilla varieties to choose from. I totally agree with Lady V though - this one has a depth and a smoothness to it that is elegant, sexy and yummy without being too over the top sweet. A sleeper hit for me - never expected to love it as much as I do. It's in my top 5.
  9. This thread caught my eye because sometimes saying my household is a "tense" environment is an understatement. I have 2 teenage boys and one man-child of 49. Sometimes it seems the only semblance of peace, sanity, and rationale within our home lies within me and our 2 female English retrievers! In a WTH moment during the much dreaded "after-Christmas-school-is-still-out-I'm-SO-bored-I-deserve-to-be-entertained!" week for my teens, I lit up LP's Mother's Little Helper Cherry Pie wax melt and it was so friggin' obvious that the phero was taking ALL my testosterone junkies to a much more mellow, happy place. Still not Nirvana, mind you (that would take a miracle) but suffice to say I wish I'd ordered a baker's dozen of the MLH Cherry Pie wax melts. There are SO many good ones Mara created last fall, but of the phero-enhanced ones, this one was a wonderful surprise in more ways than one.
  10. Damn it. I'm afraid of getting into another Wendy's H&Humid sitch (where I blew through my only bottle and should've gotten 2) Mara I'd like to up my Tyvey's Chewy Spice to 2 bottles please. Comp Positions has got to be one of my very favs, I actually love Black Pepper (like Tyvey), and the reviews of TCS are too much to handle! (And the Puppy label sure didn't hurt either!) So unless I've missed something here, please let me have the last bottle!!!
  11. Mara I'd like to add a Lusty Cherry rebrew bottle to my basket (already have one reserved of the original brewski) Reading all these makes me feel the need for a backup. Haven't even smelled it yet but the way I blew through Mamelons and my Sugared Cherries tells me that I'm a cherry Ho.
  12. Tyvey you and I both lurrrved the Sugared Black Pepper... that's how I knew to jump on this one. So glad I scored a bottle.
  13. Thank you Wendy for the inspiration... my bottle is down to the final 1/4 inch and I'm just SICK about it! This was an unexpected love of a scent... I wish we could get a rebrew!!!
  14. I'd also like a bottle of Spring's Lusty Cherry pretty please.
  15. I was being SO good until I read Tyvey's descript on Chewy Spice. I'd like one please if available PM
  16. I absolutely love this scent. So much in fact that I even emailed John and asked if it was available in Virgin, LOL, which of course it's not. There are times I want to refresh the scent without reapplying the pheros, and I'd love to be able to put it around my face and neck without worrying about the cops. It covers Sexpionage SO well, too. There are many times it kinda reminds me of LP original. Maybe that's the key – to layer LP original over it when I want to boost the basic notes. I love them both so maybe that's a happy compromise.
  17. I don't know if it's my horror-mones jacking with me or what. I absolutely loved this at first sniff, I did exactly what Donsie did... Said out loud "oh definitely full bottle". But right before I placed my last order, I put it on again... then quickly pulled Dom Noire from my PayPal basket. I even had to go wash it off my wrists- it was just too much. Admittedly, straight Dom can make me into an all out bitch. However, softening it with cops should help, right? So I tucked my little tester vial away for later Four days later I go back to it try again, and it is freaking awesome on me! WTF?! I agree with LV At first it had a little pink in it for me, then the second time I tried it the PATCH gave me a black eye. Now I'm back to the pinkesque Dom Noire, and I regret not ordering my bottle! I'm wondering what I could layer with us from the sugared's to keep it firmly in that dirty, sexy, and a little pink stage.
  18. At first I was a little worried about this one because woods can really amp big time on me, and the first time I smelled it in the vial I was like "oh hell no". But, as with many of the pheromas this year, i've gone back to this one at least three times and it is growing on me. For me, this is a clean, grounded intense boysmell at first application, almost like I'm wearing my husband's cologne. About 20 minutes into it, it softens & the vetiver peeks through with a little hint of vanilla. I'm going to test layer with my Sugared Vanilla Bean - I think that will feminize it just enough for me, while still remaining very professional.
  19. I really wanted this one to work, not only for my husband but I wanted him to test out Wanted Man on me! Alas, It was just too over-the-top with something a little too potent for my liking - maybe the combo of woods and herbal, both of which I like separately in other fragrances. So I guess my next order will be an UN sample of Wanted Man...I think I may pair it with Steamy Daydreams which, to use a quote from Eggers, I almost don't need a BF/HB (OR pheros for that matter) to get off on that one!
  20. i agree with Donsie. Don't be afraid to up your sprays, I gave up on Lumina early on because I got nothing... But I never went beyond 4 sprays (then I just sold it - in retrospect I probably should've tried a higher dose). Fortunately I noticed Mega Watt with just 2, but I was exhausted & needing a lifeline too, so I was probably easily affected.
  21. The 80s and 90s were my party-days and Mara was spot on with her idea for Kingmaker - uber-masculine, mega-sexy “powerhouse” fragrances of the 1980s, but with a contemporary spin...elegant and stylish. My husband has stuck with Polo Green for over 20 years, rarely straying, and I specifically ordered a sample of Kingmaker with the hope that he'd wear it. Charisma is the ideal phero for him in his work as well, so this will be a great test run of phero for him. He's still not 'convinced' that pheros really would affect him or those around him that much. I personally think he just doesn't understand my love affair (and investment in) LPs! I'm not going to try to convince him, but he reacts to LAM and Sexpionage (Compromising Positions) without fail every time, so IMO he's gonna find out soon that this is awesome stuff beyond just smelling great.
  22. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Open Windows... but this one stayed so stabby on me that I had to wash it off after 20 minutes. It is very clean and a tad masculine to me... woody and earthy. Very grounding. I wish I got more of the Vanilla in this because maybe that would temper it enough so I could enjoy it. I think I may try layering a couple of my Sugared Vanillas with it and that may soften whatever it is that is jabbing me in the sinuses Maybe the Ozone and water accords (?) Ozone doesn't usually bother me much, but some water notes do, therefore I'm thinking the combo is what takes over on my skin. If my sugared experiment works I'll review here
  23. This one is really yummy. Of course until now I've only heard about the legend of the infamous "Girl Nip" (Now if I can just find a "Man Nip" in the trades!) I think I'd love smelling this on my husband, but it smells purty dang gooooood on me so I may just keep it for myself. And Perfect Match has been a big winner for our relationship so this is definitely a win-win.
  24. Just got out my LP Red and thought what an awesome holiday wax melt this would be! LOL ... i read some old reviews of LPR where members likened it to smelling like "Christmastime".... so maybe for 2015 holidays??? There's so much good stuff to choose from now that I have a hard time deciding, so I would not want to muddy up the wax melt waters for this year (OR put anymore work on your plate, for that matter). BTW Mara I love that you've packaged these in pairs... This way I have a backup (or a nice freebie for the trade forum if it's not a favorite
