May I please reserve a bottle of Mark's Tonka Tabacum A special shout out to Luna, Just Ducky and Olderbutwiser for your input! You girls sold me on it, can't wait to try out my first male blend! I'll keep an eye out for Girl Nip as well, thank you...I've made a note to check out the review thread for Tonka Tobacum. I'm sorry it didn't work out for your Quince but glad your chemistry liked it well enough. I hope I can get some sweetness out of it like Q...that would be heavenly Thanks JD, xoxo I like to have some comparisons as a point of reference. I've never heard of Chergui but will keep it in mind. If I ever run across it, it'd be interesting to see if my nose can group Tonka Tobacum in the same category. I'm not making any progress detecting notes overall but there's hope yet OBW, that's great you scored a bottle of MTT for your stash. Are you wearing it or did you buy it for Mr. OBW?

Our chemistry is wonderful for the most part but at times can be frustrating . Sorry to hear that you're experiencing frustration when it comes to this blend Vladmyra. I know you said you've tried Apparition several times...have you tried it different times of the month? Our hormones can do a number on us as you know... Your nose is not insane I'll have to keep an eye out for a sample of this blend. Sounds lovely I could see why you'd want to experience all the notes! http://www.lovepotionperfume.com/perfumerie/potion/Apparition/ The scrumptious smokiness of toasting marshmallows is captured with a blend of marshmallow flavor oils and woodsmoke accords, further flavored with white and caramel sugars, layered upon ghostly white amber and white musk, and finished with a smoky Arabian wood blend and a dusting of powdered sugar.

that would be a great super-power to have, lol. That trait means you think quick on your feet!!! Always the best way to get out of a jam . You should consider a law degree

Guilty?! What for pray tell?!. LOL!!! Good stuff in getting the full bottle set. Excited for you Wow -- ok, LOVE that rationale. Way to go BC

MDC, not to worry, the fabulous-ness of these potions will more than make up for going over budget. This is such a special occasion! Of course you have to make concessions . We're of the same mindset, head over heels in love with this set. That's a great idea to print out the stories and descriptions, I think I'll do that too. Will read them when I get anxious while waiting for my order to arrive, lol. Thanks very much for defining "atm." Now I know

Nice hit Luna

I was so taken by milady's pulchritude and that hot red dress cinched-just-so, that I didn't see she was also packin' cupcakes . Had to zoom in on the image...love the strategic placement of the one on her dress. Right bosom

It sounds like oil is going to be the popular consensus for LP Rouge . I too believe the oils are stronger and overall provide more bang for your buck. I love sprays tho I don't know if that will ever change. I'll be ordering my June NRs in oil. Of the 11, for my number one, IF I'm able to pick just one # 1 I might splurge and also get # 1 in spray as well. That way I can 'swim' in it on special occasions

I had to school myself and look up the word "resin." It's one of those that you've heard of -of course. But may not necessarily know. Basically I had a 50/50 chance of getting it right if multiple choice was an option. The definition surprised me. It applies to fragrances more than I thought. Resin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resin Cedar of Lebanon cone showing flecks of resin as used in the mummification of Egyptian Pharaohs. Resin in the most specific use of the term is a hydrocarbon secretion of many plants, particularly coniferous trees. Resins are valued for their chemical properties and associated uses, such as the production of varnishes, adhesives and food glazing agents. They are also prized as an important source of raw materials for organic synthesis, and as constituents of incense and perfume. Plant resins have a very long history that was documented in ancient Greece by Theophrastus, in ancient Rome by Pliny the Elder, and especially in the resins known as frankincense and myrrh, prized in ancient Egypt.[1] These were highly prized substances, and required as incense in some religious rites. Amber is a hard fossilized resin from ancient trees.

A lil’ dab’ll do ya’ If a person needs to only wear a very small amount of cops to elicit a response, does that mean they are producing a good amount on their own? Small as in a half inch of EoW or a dime size dollop of the scented cream with cops. TIA

Pinkest most perfectly shaped nose ever. Purrrrrrrrrr Mark's Tonka Tobacum, I don't know why but I'm interested. Any chance a lady can wear this?

a girl's gotta' do what a girl's gotta do MDC. I completely understand. Really and truly . You have a great order there...

It IS ok, you're in good company. There's an army of us out here ...better yet, broke but don't care because we'll be riding high on the feel good pheros

What do you use the most of Liz, oils or sprays? I am ordering the oil. Would you get LP Rouge in oil or spray? Inquiring minds would like to know

It could happen Birkey! And thank you in advance for sharing

Ok, I know you have a ginormous collection so the fact you're able to name all your sprays says a lot! Good for you for having strong convictions on how you use your potions and blends! I wanna be like you when I grow up xoxo . I'm familiar with the reasoning you outlined...it's good to hear it reiterated from different folks so thanks for that . I'm in the same boat as you, work IS my testing ground. However I'm a victim of timing . If I would've started using pheros before I started at my current job, I could have gone in swathed in whatever I wanted and things would've been good. Sadly, they met me as a demure, sweet-n-quiet, somewhat shy, cute girl. To go from that to resident bombshell is disconcerting. The 'mens' can't handle it. Therefore, I have to move painstakingly slow in changing views of self. Sigh. What does atm mean?

My dear, you are swift of foot with your orders. What a great trait to have - woman of action you . Thanks for igniting a well needed fire under my tush. I'm hot on your trail...just been biting my nails trying to whittle away at my list. Impossible this month. Impossible as there are so many potions I need

don't despair. You're sure to meet Exotica at a later date if not now. Being new, I've missed out on a lot of the great potions from pastimes. But -- the trade pages give me hope...

So much to learn, thank you!

Vomit! Oh dear, ummm yeah, not good Cougarrific . Good luck in finding the sweet spot between stenchy and sexy. The fact that you know your BF is so responsive is a great incentive to keep trying to find that balance... Having LP do the boosting seems like popular consensus

Well put Irish Eyes, thank you . You have a great approach and for the most part I'd follow it to the letter. I'm battling the experimentation / honeymoon phase where my head and heart aren't in agreement, lol. You said it...human nature dictates that everyone experiments at some point. I haven't quite pegged myself yet as to what type of LP-er I'll ultimately be. Too soon to tell. I've never liked putting things together around the house tho. I'll probably dabble with cops here and there. For the most part I'm thinking I'll be buying a lot of pre-copped blends...

It's something else how our sense of smell can vary so much! I'll have to sniff EoW again to see if I can get anything other than cheese. I might detect a little vinegar but fruit...no. Not there yet. I like the thought of using a thick fruity scent as a base. How long did it take you to develop a good footing with covering EoW Stacy?

Thanks for the info Dolly! You have a considerable amount of experience with EoW having used it 10+ years . Wow! I do have a bottle of LP EoW and to me it smells like cheese. I didn't find it to be unpleasant but wouldn't want that bleeding thru. I've used it once in two months...didn't leave the house that day . I hadn't intended to so I thought it would be a safe day to experiment. It dried down ok that I could remember. I don't recall what cover scent I used but I think that worked out alright as well. You're right in use of it taking some practice. I understand now what you meant about it being tricky with different variables to take under consideration. People who are able to boost their perfumes with it are well beyond my level of experience. I'm not ready to pry a roller ball from a bottle let alone that . The bottle of EoW I have is in my hope chest right now. I thought I'd be safer with OCCOs and pre-copped blends until such time.

My sentiments exactly

http://www.lovepotionperfume.com/perfumerie/potion/LPBlue/ In the tradition of our other colorful Love Potion® variants, we've created a hue of Blue which allows our beloved LPMP addicts to enjoy wearing a deliciously sweetened version of boysmell! A velvety base of thick amber EO, Indian patchouli and vanilla musk with masculine accents of ambergris, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco and leather, seasoned with tonka bean, dark honey and Arabian spice, then topped with a lacy swirl of blue spun sugar. This scent is perfect for layering with our OCCO Blue fragrance for a delectably boyish aura. LP Blue seemed to be one of the most anticipated. I saw a few thread posts where people mentioned it as a leading contender . I'm ready to try it. And I have a bottle of OCCO Blue at the ready to do just that
