My first order I got: unscented pheros DHEAS and Levitation, both in sprays; samples of Gamboge, Gypsum White and Blush and All Hallows Eve w/Lumina because it was the last one. I love everything I ordered which makes it even more difficult to narrow down my order from what I would love to what I can afford! lol I want to try things before buying a fb only because I am not familiar with different notes of a fragrance. So......
I am looking at: The Sampler Sets for Women and for Men (my fiance and father)(It has Sneaky Clean w/SS which was recommended to me)
FB: X Appeal w/Sexology (also recommended by the same person-thank you!!)

New Releases (haven't decided if a full set or specific ones yet)
As you can see, the samples list is extremely long.!! This is my full list of fragrances I would currently like to try. What I will probably do is order between 5-10 with each order. Any input would be greatly appreciated as far as how I can try different ones...lol It's insanely long!!

You know, you may be right about the big tobacco plants! LOL! I did the opposite to what you did, and assumed Nicotiana. Hmm...
Anyway, it doesn't smell like a soapy cigarette butt, so you should be safe!
No, no, no...you were right...I looked up the plant to see and read about it (which I should have done in the first place!
.gif)
)....the leaves can be used to make tobacco products, but it is actually a house plant that has very sweet smelling flowers (exactly what you said!)...it does sound beautiful and I am getting it and I have you to thank... on a lighter note...I really need to take it easier with my un-levitation and un-DHEAS...within an hour I have spilled my Gamboge sample on the carpet in front of the couch (the dogs and I are all flying high now...lolol), broken a wine glass and overflowed the kitchen sink!! It's all good, though...life is good...I'm still smiling with Levitation!!

I would never have believed anything tobacco-related was in X Appeal. That perfume has a really fuzzy soap kind of feel - like Dove, or some other soap that has a really rich, fluffy lather and leaves you smelling gorgeous after you've rinsed off.
But I do believe that tobacco flower itself is supposed to have a truly lovely fragrance. People grow it in their gardens for the scent alone - it's called Nicotiana, and has long, pretty tubular flowers.
Ahhh..ok...in my head I was imagining the big tobacco plants...I was raised in the country and on our neigbors' farm they planted tobacco, so when I read tobacco flowers and leaves I was imagining an actual smell of tobacco...Nicotiana is something totally different!! Well, I fell stupid, but at least I know now..lol X Appeal is a must then...thanks so much!

If you like this one, (Lace is fun!) you might wind up loving Sneaky Clean with Super Sexy for Women, and X Appeal with Sexology too. They both have the same clean sort of vibe, and the pheros in them are awesome!
Sorry Eggers...one question about the X Appeal with Sexology....how does the tobacco flower and leaf contribute to the final fragrance?...I not familiar with its scent....

Thanks so much, Eggers, for the recommendations!! I will go to check them out right now! Sneaky Clean w/SSFW was one that caught my eye, but I hadn't checked it out in depth. X Appeal w/Sexology I will look at too. It's great those two already have the pheromones added! I will definitely get a trial of each, maybe a fb....right now I am feeling info overload with trying to decide which are musts and which will have to wait...wanting too much!! lol
This helps me a lot! Cheers -
All I can say is WOW!! Out of all the samples I ordered, this one the one I was least excited about, only because being new to LPMP fragrances I was not familiar with a lot of the contributing scents. Now Gypsum White /Lace is my favorite!! To sum it up...this is class and sophistication in a bottle!!!! Its the type of fragrance I love. It reminds me a bit of Estee Lauder's White Linen, but Gypsum White has something which gives it that extra vavoom...a lot more depth. It's a very clean scent. I definitely get the cotton. Everything else just seems to surround it and contribute to its wonderfulness!! On me this smells like sheer Heaven....
Lace has also done its job...I certainly feel that "Marilyn-esque" aura!! Right now I'm feeling very girlie...just wanna do my hair, put on some make up...basically get all dolled up!! The ditsiness is there too!! Can't wait to try this one out on the men!!
Gypsum White w/Lace is a FB...could not do without it!!!

I tried Blush out on two different places-the bend of my arm and the top of my arm. In the beginning the apple was very apparent..almost like spiced apple. I could not detect individually the other scents contributing. After about 2 hours, the fragrance placed in in the bend of my arm smells about the same. BUT....where I put it on the top of my arm, it has blended into something fabulous! The apple is there...but ever so light. I smell a hint of pepper and ginger (truthfully I do not know what cactus fruit smells like yet), but it only plays a slight part in the overall fragrance.
This is one that I was looking forward to because I love apple scented anything. The final result is sooo much more alluring when allowed to mellow on a part of the body that allows it to breathe. Both places smell great, but on top of my arm the fragrance turns into something extra special. It's a bit spicy and a bit fruity in a most captivating way!!
*I did not try this one out for the pheromones as I am at home today and had already applied unscented Levitation.

My first review!! Just received this today and while wet the pineapple, vanilla and copal were most noticed (reminded me of pineapple incense I used to burn). Then as it began to dry the plumeria started to emerge. It has been 2 hours now and and everything seems to have blended well, with the plumeria most noticible on me. It is a light and fun fragrance, a good pair with Levitation!
As far as the effects from Levitation, I am at home so i can only respond to how it affects me. Mostly I feel very mellow and happy go lucky. Normally I have 100 things running through my mind and it is hard for me to relax, but after applying Gamboge I haven't worried about anything! lol I know pheromones affect everyone differently and for me to have a day like this it's very refreshing!! I love it!!
************************************************************
I am going to leave what I wrote yesterday, just so one can see what a difference a day makes!!
This afternoon I tried it again, so the bottle had a chance to stabalize overnight. Today the fragrance is much more mellow and much more blended. Everything has combined lovely into a beautiful mellow flowery pineapple fragrance. It is delicious..so delicious I can't stop smelling the points where I placed it!! lol I know all the individual notes are there, but they blend so well that nothing really stands out individually...I am imagining I'm on one of the islands of Hawaii...ahhhhh, Gamboge...take me away....

I just received my first order today and I am like a kid in a candy store!!
Thank you so much Mara for all of the goodies included...I can not wait to give them and the fragrances/pheromones I ordered a try!! You are so generous and I am already looking forward to my second order! Also...my parcel arrived so quickly after speaking on the phone..it was a great surprise today!! Reviews are coming soon.. -
Welcome back!! Just in time for new releases!!
-
I just wanted to say a big thank you to the person who helped me today when I called about my order!! Forgive me for not asking your name to thank you personally...you made sure I had an answer before I said good-bye and I appreciate everything you did so much....I now know my first order is on its way and I will be able to start sporting the goods by this weekend!!!! Oh Happy Day....

Hey! I am awaiting my first order placed the end of March. I received a notice the 31st saying it was being worked on and up until now I have not received any other notifications. Does processing take a little longer if order is done around the first of the month? I am so anxious and excited to get it, but at the same time I don't want to bother them by emailing because I know they are very busy. I did order one item on Artfire in addition to my LPMP items.
** I don't know how to delete this post, but I talked with them today and all is well..please disregard

I just finally ordered a bottle of unscented Lumina. I have AHE..which I really, like but want the versatility of the Un.
You can order the Unscented off the Mad Scientist listed pheros. It's a phero blend but the exact mixture is not given, it's a proprietary blend.
Thanks StacyK for responding. It is good to know if it works well with me that I can order it again!
I hadn't thought to look under the Mad Scientist for it. Yes, I have read everything I can find on it and I couldn't see anything which gave an exact blend of pheros. I think it is truly a mad blend of other phero combos...as long as I can still get it I'm a happy camper!! I managed to find a post listing the ingredients for this one once, but haven't found it again.
It has EST, DHEAS, Beta-nol, Alpha-nol & a small amount of copulins. I'm 95% sure I have listed these ingredients in exactly the right order.
The amount of copulins is so small that it's not a worry to spray on clothes/neck/hair- I'm using the UN spray and I can't detect them at all (I can smell the sweet soft EST scent instead).
I have this in AHE 2011 as well, which I converted to spray. It's great, but not a scent I'd wear to work too often, as it's quite strong.
I'm guessing this one was bumped off the list of available pheros due to newer ones emerging that are supposed to be giving very similar effects. I must say though, that as much as I love all the other blends, nothing else I've tried has an effect as impressive to me as this one, so thank Mara-ness for the mad scientist option. When I discovered what this one can do for me personally in my day to day interactions it almost made me cry. I really really needed something to give me the lift and social boost that this offers me.
Thanks so much Vladmyra for answering. yes, the thing I was worried about most was that it appeared it contained copulins. The reviews were great, except a few who stated it didn't work well with their mates. I had also seen something in another post about it, but haven't been able to find it again...information overload from so much reading lately!! lol
I also wanted to know so it could be ordered again. I'm happy to read that it helps you socially because that is what I am needing. I have AS so anything that helps me to be able to feel comfortable in social settings is a must!! I am learning that Mara is a genius!! I am so excited about getting my first order I can't stand it...keep checking the emails to see if it has been shipped...fingers crossed!!!

What exactly are the pheros in LUMINA? It is shown on the Pheromone List at the top, but at the bottom where the descriptions are listed, LUMINA does not appear. I got the last bottle of AHE 2011 (coming soon) and from the posts I have read it sounds like a great phero combo to have, but it would be helpful to know for sure...

Late ,too,but Welcome to our home!! ...welcome to the Adventure !!!
It's never to late to welcome someone!! Since I am stuck at home most of the time I have really enjoyed getting all of the welcomes!!!!

However I don't recommend wearing OW+DHEAS if you'll be going through customs. I got my face gabbed off and was "randomly" (not) selected for an extended interview by an officer who just stared at me or asked me gibberish questions while rummaging his hands at random through my bag and tried to keep me there with more nonsense conversation after the "random" interview was over
This is great to know! I am going to India this summer as was wondering which pheros would be useful for my trip!!
-
Thank you all!
Hi Jill and Carol!! Looks like I'm late for the welcome wagon, I have been a little under the weather and I haven't even worn an LP in two days!!!! I think that is the first time ever in almost four years!!! These gems are addicting...you shall see!
Maybe I'm going through withdrawals, I'll at least go put a dot of something on...Hope you are feeling better very soon!! I am a little worried about becoming a LP addict...I can already see myself ordering loads of Levitation and DHEAS..lol Looks like I'm going to have to incorporate LPMP into my budget
Welcome to you both! (Forgive me if I continue staring at your wonderful avi --- love it!!!)
I stare at it too!! I would love to be in a place like this one day...I can dream!!

If you like pineapple, it's amazing. I went to Disney a lot as a kid being from California. My great uncle owned the motel directly across the street from the Disneyland entrance and he would let my parents go into the rooms after guests checked out and pick up all the tickets that were left behind. Yes, I am that old that it was when Disney still ran on tickets! So we went at least once a week when I was little. I LOVE Dole Whip. It is one of my favorite childhood memories.
This is great! A lot of my childhood memories are tied to how things smelled. We went to Disney World every year and I remember the Dole whips (I'm also old enough to remember having the tickets)...and I loved them!! Anything with pineapple is fabulous...so happy to read this!!

Many thanks for your welcomes!!
-
Yes, I meant avatar. Given your taste for such, I choose to believe you will acquire this home someday; please invite me when you do. LOL. Back on topic: I betcha you'll love Lace.
Please send some positive vibes my way to help it happen!
I promise to invite you when (not if) it happens!! 
Yes, I think so too. It has many things in it which I love, like the cotton and amber...and the pheromones are great too!! Each scent I ordered is different, but they all have things in them that I find appealing. I can't wait to see how all of these different scents combine to make a finished product! Forming them is in one way so scientific and at the same time a process so full of passion. -
Welcome aboard! I want to go to Tennessee, this is supposed to be my big vacation this year, but I kind of want to go to the beach now. Anyhow welcome please post reviews once you test!
Thanks! Tennessee is a great place to visit! If you come then Sevierville is a must, but I would choose the beach too. Promise to post reviews..everything I ordered seems right down the line as far as scents I like...

Welcome Birkeys! Is your avi your home?
Gorgeous. Where is that? Looks like Maldives?Hey! Are you referring to the profile pic? I wasn't sure what "avi" is....I'm not sure where this pic was taken because I downloaded it from the internet. I love the beach and ocean...basically any place tropical, so whenever I see a pic online of somewhere I would like to be I download it...problem is that I didn't make a note of the location, so I have tons of photos of places I'd like to visit, but I don't know where they are! Chalk it up to my blondeness..lol I live in northeast Tennessee right now where I grew up. Moved back from Orlando, Florida about 8 years ago...really miss Florida!!

Hi there. Just a word as to how multiple orders works. Since we offer free shipping we combine orders in one shipment. So I know it's super tempting and fun to keep ordering but just be aware that if you order again before getting your shipping notice, your first order will get bumped to the back of the line in order to combine shipping. Some people don't mind but extra time waiting is hell on earth to me so I thought I would share. I'm the customer service rep here.
Thanks very much for letting me know..
I can assure you that I will wait until orders are received before placing another, especially since I am so new to this. I want to try what I get before ordering again so I know what works for me and which scents compliment me. The only exception might be on down the line if you were to post a lot of items on the GGG list, but by then I should be more aware of when things are posted to make sure I do it all at once. I didn't know about getting bumped, so I appreciate the heads up on that. I wouldn't want to wait not even one extra day for my things It's really nice not paying shipping...it can add up quickly...thank you all for paying that! -
Thank you all so much for the warm welcome...the excitement of receiving my order keeps building!! Will let you all know how they work for us as soon as we have had a chance to try them. I haven't even received my first yet and I am already looking forward to order #2....this is going to be bad...so bad...
....lol

OK, so what are we all ordering/considering?

Amalthea and Blackcat...thanks so much for the wonderful advice! Everything you both suggested I have taken to heart and am putting into practice!! I'm not one who likes to wear a different scent every day (I have AS and I don't like change..lol). What I'm looking to do is find 2-3 wonderful (that compliment me) signature scents for each season and have them boosted with my favorite pheromones. This is my master list of ones I'm interested in so what I'll do is concentrate on Summer right now. Checking out the freebies and the trade board also..everyone on the forum has been so helpful...one day I hope to be able to pass it on...
