There are many phero blends from which to choose, but first I would like to ask which setting you are planning to be in when using them? There are blends for attracting in everyday situations and blends which should only be worn, for example, in clubs or night situations.

 

I think Lace + Cops would be a great choice for you.

 

Do not confuse the term Alpha-Androstenol, with an Alpha signature. That's why I sent you the phero wiki. Alpha-Androstenol is a happy giddy social, not a dominance style molecule.

I agree with Mara that Lace is a fantastic blend...it is one of my favs!!

1.Levitation scented

2. LP Pink

3. Sweet Surrender

4. OCCO Pink & OCCO Ambrosia

5. Gypsum White

6. Flying Potion..it's too wonderful not to mention!!

Right now, the two potions that I would love to have rebrewed are Levitation perfume and Purple Puff LAM! Levitation I have tried and I know it's divine...Purple Puff is almost impossible to find and from the reviews it sounds like one I would love! As a hoarder I am well stocked on some of my other favs..of Gypsum White I have 7, New around 5-6, Flying Potion 5 and of LP White, which I begged Mara to rebrew, I have around 15 (yes 15...when I said in a post I would get at least 10 if Mara would rebrew it, I held true to my word!! lol As for phero blends, I would love to see Audacious, however, there are so many fabulous phero blends available it seems petty to want it (the same goes for perfumes, too, I guess, because Mara keeps creating wonderful ones)! She was gracious enough to bring back Lumina (one of my favs!) so I am very content!

This is amazing. I am so NOT a pink person and yet I want all of them!

Thank you Blackcat! You have created some great PE's! I have had the pleasure of trying them! I am new and this is my first time doing it, so I'm having a hard time deciding wich notes and which of the ones above to do first! I would like to have a PE that everyone loves to wear (all of the PEs Mara creates for us are fabulous so I know in her hands, it will be fantastic!) like your's. .I am thinking maybe #1 and #2 for October...over the past few months I have been trying to obtain all of the samples I can to study notes and how they work together. I hope, if you get one of mine, that it is something you love...

LOL! Don't worry. I wasthisclose to putting on my trade page, or to giving it to my Mum or BF, both of whom love it.

BUT... for whatever reason, I didn't get the weird scent-association/anxiety thing today that I have in the past. I've no idea what's up with that. When I first got it, it was all love! love! love! And then somewhere along the line, the scent - even right out of the bottle - gave me some kind of weird stomach-twisting anxiety. And now, not.

Today it worked very well. The scent *and* the phero. My meeting was great, and took about an hour and a half longer than any of us expected it would, simply because we were having such a lovely time!

So, I think I'll hang onto it for a bit, yet. But Birkeys, if I wind up putting it up on my trade page, I'll tag it with your name so you can have first dibs!

I'm very happy it worked for you! It is too gorgeous a perfume not to be able to wear!! Thank you for the first dibs should that day come..lol I was hoping Mara might one day do a rebrew of this so other newbies can have a chance to try it or maybe create a variation of it! The Levitation phero blend is one of my favs and to have a fav perfume and a fav phero blend in one is a fantastic thing! Glad your meeting was fab!!

I am thinking of a mix and would like to hear from anyone who has any ideas or thought on this, or has worn them together. I am looking for something trust building, and authoritative but not bossy, and at the same time encourages thoughtful conversation, but not mindless chatter. I am thinking of a blend of SWS and either TH or LFM. What do you think the differences would be?

It is hard to say since SWS is a proprietory blend so the actual pheros used are not listed/known. If you are talking about a Mad Scientist Blend, then I would say to look at individual pheros listed on Wiki and it will give you an idea as to what each does. The pheros in the blends are listed with the highest percentage first. It also depends if you are wanting to use it at home, or at the office or with a significant other. SWS is developed more for use in business. At home I would recommend Mother's Little Helper. For a significant other there are several. As they already stated..it doesn't help to combine phero blends and the things you are looking to avoid/encourage have already been taken into consideration when they were developed

OMG, Birkeys, whatever it is you are planning, I think I want it!!

Well, Blackcat, I actually have 4 right now that I am planning/contemplating...all pink, of course, because I can't get enough of it! lol

1. Pink Musk, marshmallow/creamy vanilla?, woodsmoke and rasberries with a little pink sugar on top... (Something light and soft with a Papal Purple feel to it)

2. Pink Amber or Pink Musk with marshmallow, licorice, grapefruit and spices..like a Pink Flying Potion! (for Halloween because FP is one of my favs!)

3. Coconut, marshmallow/creamy vanilla?, pink amber and maraschino cherry, touch of citrus? with a little pink sugar on top.. (I love Sweet Surrender and also OCCO Ambrosia!)

4. Pink Amber, marshmallow/creamy vanilla?, berries or pomegranate, touch of grapefruit, touch of peppermint, sugars and a touch of holiday spices... (for Christmas)

Right now I am trying to somehow get my choices down to four notes for each...I have never smelled of Pink Musk (it is coming in my order) so I am trying to decide between that and Pink Amber (Amber with the pink sugars) for them...we will see!!!!

I'm sorry, I have too much on my plate right now to add PEs to the workload. I will open them up for ordering again around the end of September. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Lol...why are you apologizing? I really don't know how you do it all!! I would be in a padded cell somewhere!! October is great! That gives us all another month to plan them... Last night I had to go to Wal mart...everybody else in the store was thinking about what they needed/wanted to get...what was I thinking about the whole time? What goes with pink musk? Are cherries to much for that note combination or are rasberries a better choice? Marshmallow or Vanilla....would they be good with woodsmoke?...and on and on and on...every 10 minutes or so I would stop and think...now what all did I come here for??!!!! oh yeah, eggs and cheese....and maybe amber is a better choice...lolol

Forgive me if this is posted somewhere else, but are the new PEs also being delayed until October? If so, can we still pay for them and let you know what we would like during September?

I also would like to thank you for delaying new releases...I am very excited about the sugareds..it's my first time trying them!! I soooo need a chance to get some NRs I have been wanting since June also!!

I haven't worn this perfume in quite a while. When I first got it, I absolutely loved it. But somewhere along the line something in it started making me feel anxious, so I stopped wearing it, and had even considered giving it to my mum, or to BF, who loves it.

But this morning I sat in front of my collection searching for the perfect scent & phero to wear to an informal meeting I have this afternoon. Nothing smelled or felt right... until I opened Levitation and had a sniff. Suddenly it felt like *exactly* the thing I needed to wear. The smell didn't seem to give me an immediate flush of anxiety, so I'm going to give it a try. Wish me luck!

I hope Levitation worked for you today Eggers...I just discovered it this month and love it!! If, by chance, you find it is something you wish to part with..I can give it a home with much love and attention!! (Sorry, but I had to say it..lol )

I have tried several and loved them all!! The Holiday scent with Balm Bomb was great....as well as Garland and Lace! I know you don't have tranquility potion anymore (so I have hoarded these), but the spa scented with tranquility potion is fab also!! I use holiday spiced melts and candles all year.

Something I would love to have is the LP Pink with pheros or any pink sugar (like the NoCo Pink) with pheros. I have fallen in love with the Levitation scented spray potion (sugars, strawberry, orchid, etc)...

Phero wise....Alpha Androstenol, Lace, Balm Bomb, B2, G2 and Levitation or Open Windows!! Something with Mothers Little Helper might be great for moms to have...

Thank you so much, Mara, for making more of these!! I am down to my last 2-3 and was starting to panic..lol For those of you who haven't tried them..they are fantastic!!!

Pure Sugar is a mixture of all the sugars.

 

Sug Amber does not really lend itself to being a pink heavy scent, but NoCo Pink is pink sugar + amber....with the emphasis on the pink. That's probably what you are looking for.

ahhh..ok, The NoCo Pink is what I have coming in my order from the 3rd!! woohoo!!

From what I read in the reviews, Pure Sugar is not pinky at all (more caramel like?)...is there a pink sugar that can be ordered? Also, I tried sugared Amber for the first time (sniffie from trade)...I was thinking it would be pinky, but it's not. Is there a pinky Sugared Amber that can be ordered? Yes, I know I am a pink sugar freak..lol..it's my newest love.. Just wait until I start ordering the PE's I am planning!! Mara will be sick of pink!! lol

I love levitation! It is a great uplifting scent. It is the great combination of both sexy plus instant mood lifter. I get complements every time I wear it (some of that may be the phernome at work).

 

With the sale, I ordered the phernome by itself for the first time as an UN spray and am excited to try that out when it arrives.

 

I also ordered a PE with the sale that is a takeoff on the sold out original perfume phero blend since I miss it soo much. I have the original in oil which is great, however I can also see levitation doing great in a spray so I ordered the PE in both oil and spray forms. Here is what I asked for: 4 Ingredients: Takeoff Version of levitation -Pink grapefruit Blossum, sugar, orchid + Floral vanilla. Vibe-A balanced fruity floral. Sugary pink. Warm. Includes Levitation phero.

Chitown...what was your PE called? I love Levitation and I'm sure I would love your PE if I could ever find a bottle of it..

I got Levitation from Rose's trade board over a month ago. I hated to unwrap it because it was still in its LPMP sealed wrapper. Yesterday I finally broke down and unwrapped and tried it. WOW!!! It is delicious!!! I am not familiar with how orchid and how grapefruit blossoms smell individually, so I can't tell what notes contribute. I can tell you that upon first applying I get a little fruit and sugars mixed with a little floral. As the day went on, the fruitiness.sugars became less apparent and the florals were more noticeable. It blends beautifully!! This is a perfume that one can wear anytime! It is light enough to wear to work and seductive enough to wear at night on a date.

The Levitation with which it is boosted adds an extra kick of happiness that the perfume already brings to the table. I was carefree and happy, smiling all day!! Every chance I got I was sniffing of my inner arms where I sprayed some. I couldn't get enough of it!! Now I will have to hoard the rest as this has become a precious item!!! This is one that I would love to see rebrewed one day so I could stock up!!! lol

pssssst guys keep an eye on artfire...long lost treasures keep magically appearing on there...

..did you snag that last bottle of Lick of Cream? lol I got one and also Marsha Mellow! Needless to say I am over the moon happy today!!!

I just snagged a bottle of this from Artfire and I can't wait to try it!! I am loving the perfumes with Marshmallow (Flying Potion is one of my favs..so I am going to try the MM and FP together as Halo suggested!)...will edit when I have had a chance to try it!!!

Oh, thanks Birkey-- it's very nice to meet you and thank you for clarifying the August Sugarables! That's too bad Mara's not going to be offering the August Sugarables in sample sizes, because I would certainly like to try a lot of them but don't want to keep gambling too much with my money. Sample sizes would be great for me since i'm a newbie here and need to smell a lot of different things until I find ones that I like. I just made the mistake of ordering a FB of BP in my very first order, and I don't like how it smells but now am stuck with the FB unless I can manage to arrange a trade for it later. So now I am kicking myself for not ordering a sample size of BP first. The August Sugarables sounded great, and when I saw the list of them-- there were about a couple dozen of them that I had thought of ordering, but if they don't come in sample sizes, then I may have to pass on them altogether, since I can't afford to keep making the same mistake. From now on I need to stick to ordering only sample sizes until I find something I really like.

hey Silkilocks! Don't worry yourself about your fb of BP. I'm sure you can arrange a sale or trade it for another. It comes in the newbie sample pack you got, so you did order a sample of it..you just got a fb of it also.. There are some samples of sugareds available on the regular LPMP list of available perfumes..I think rose, amber, and some others are on it. The June and July samplers are still available for purchase and there are some fantastic perfumes in both of them! June was all new Love Potions and July has perfumes great for summer. They are a great deal because you get a whole set of 10-11 samples (normally would be 50-55.00) for 30.00!! You can order them by clicking the same links you did for the newbie sampler. Have a great Tuesday!!

 

Here is the list of LPs I have. I think most are still available.

 

http://lovepotion.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=9327

 

Light scents IMO:

 

Aqualad

Ambuscade (very traditional male scent IMO)

Eternal Sunshine (if Cpt Fantastic works, this should also I would think)

Excaliber

Fronds with Benefits (too light for me but certainly light)

The Garage (smooth & not heavy at all)

LP#9

Merlin's Blend

Moon of the Falling Leaves

Ruisseau

Sandy Bottom

Sinner & the Saint (very smooth vanilla though not as light as these others)

Swimming with Sharks

Thrill of the Chase (sweet to my & Mrs. QG's nose)

Tonka Musk (very smooth though again not as light like some of the others)

Ohhh...thank you so much for all of the info quietguy!!! You have been a big help!! I will check all of these out along with your link!!! Thanks again for taking the time to post all of this info...

..and excuse the error..my dad has COPD...

 

Oh ok. I was reading a topic called in the "New Releases" category called "The Return of Sugared Layerables". When is that coming out? People were still posting about it this month, so I assumed it must be coming out next month. Is that something different than the monthly sample sets?

Hey Sililocks!! Welcome to the forum!! It seems you have made some great choices and been given some great advice! Normally Mara releases a set of 10-11 perfumes each month. August is a little different. Firstly, there will be a big sale, so pay close attention to the forum in the coming week(s) to know when it starts and what to do..it will be under SPECIALS for forum members I think. Secondly, there will be sugareds newly released in August. These won't be in sample bottles (and packs) like the Newbie pack you got (great choice) and the regular monthly NRs (New Releases). There will be two different sized bottles and there will be many more than the normal 10-11. September will go back to the NR sample packs.

I would suggest that you give yourself a month or two before you sell what you got. In the beginning, if you are not used to LPMP type perfumes, you may not find them appealing. I don't mean this in a bad way towards LPMP. It's just that so many are used to the commercial generic smelling perfumes. This happened with me. After a month my olfactory senses started adjusting and now I love them! I tried to use a commercial perfume the other day and I ended up washing it off and using an LPMP one. Everyone gave fabulous advice on what to do with phero sprays, etc. Samples are great and you can always find a ton on the trade forum for a little less money..some may not be completely filled, but it helps a lot in determining which notes in perfumes work for you!! The reviews here are very accurate in that they are honest opinions. We are all different and different things work and don't work for us. One thing I can tell you is that I have researched the heck out of all the phero companies and the blends they offer. NO companies pheromone blends compare to Mara's. They market their blends on the phero content, but their blends are lacking in sophistication. More is not necessarily better!! Mara's perfumes and phero blends are in a class all of their own. They are researched and tailored towards a specific sex and towards a specific result..and in most cases you know exactly what is in them (except for a few proprietory blends). I have tried many and hers is definitely THE BEST!

OK..I will shut up now and wish you a fabulous journey...glad to have you!!!

It has been a while since I have posted here...right now I am waiting on the August Sale to place my order, but I am planning on UN pheros B2 and G2 in sprays, 2 NOCO Pinks (Mara said she would make them for me w/o the cops), a Sugared Amber and Sugared Coconut and a Sweet Surrender..there are so many more that I would love to get..we will see how it goes...

I did sell me bedroom suit..I am sleeping on the couch, but at least I have some money for the August Sale!! My LPMP perfumes and pheros are so much more important than having a proper place to sleep and store my clothes (right now they are in my living room in trashbags..lol) When we got the toronado warnings last night during the storm, the first thing I did was put all of my perfumes/pheros into a crate and into the basement closet..now THAT'S love...
