TheBirkeys

Fabulous!!!! Can't wait to see the notes!!!! of course Candy House has peeked my interest, but I'm looking forward to trying all of them because one thing I have learned since being here is not to pre-judge!!!

...and of course I am so excited to try the newest Flying Potion! Last year's was a bit different from the other years I've tried and at first I wasn't sure I liked it, but now I'm in love with it, so bring on 2015's!

I have stalked all weekend...so excited for the October Weenies!!! Fingers crossed that we will see them soon!!!

This is truly a tropical delight!!! I love coconut in perfumes, so I was very anxious to try this one. I can detect copulins very easily and don't care for their scent. It was very important that it be creamy enough to cover them. I could not detect copulins at all!! Out of every potion of Mara's that I have tried, this is really the creamiest. It's very tropical and for those of you who like those types of perfumes, you won't be disappointed!! I even took Stacy's advice and had a bottle boosted with Lace. I'm looking forward to wearing it at the beach this summer if we're able to go. Fabulously delicious!!

Glad I was able to find a bottle of this on the trade boards! I adore LP Pink so I knew that LP Purple had to be great. The berries, sugar and vanilla come together to form a truly fabulous purple potion!! I was a bit worried about it being too grapey due to the muscadine grape notes being listed, but I don't get grape...on me it plays out as the purple sister of LP Pink...so delicious!!! I only have one bottle so I use this one sparingly...love it!!!

I'm so glad I was able to snag a spray bottle of this from the sale sight (some time ago)...I love florals and this turned out to be such a lovely potion!! It's hard for me to discern different notes, but I definitely get a tropical floral vibe. It's a tad heavy in the beginning, but once it's had time to mellow a bit it's perfect for me! I'm just now learning to appreciate the Love Potion Variants. This one reminds me of old Florida for those of you who know what old Florida was like (warm breeze, tropical flowers)...it's very elegant-something I would wear out to dinner...very appropriate for summer!!

I know you guys are working very hard to get everything programmed and I hate to bother you with this, but do you think they will be ready to order tonight? (need to place for June freebies)...

Yeah that article is also linked in the previous discussion on Hedione:

thanks, Luna.. I hadn't even checked to see if there was a thread about it... Can the potions with Hedione be boosted just the same? If so, would having the Hedione in there with the pheros give it an extra "oomph" (for lack of a better word)?

WOW!!! The NRs look fabulous!!! Of course there are a few already calling my name.. Can't wait to read the notes on these and get my sampler!!! I am not usually one for relying on the internet for information which I consider valid, but this morning I was looking up Hedione to find out a little more about it...I came across this article which had some intruiging info on how it relates to pheromones...(moderators-if you find this article has incorrect information and need to delete the link, please do so..)

Ohhhhh, the anticipation is building....staying close to the computer these days!!! Dreaming of Mara's magickal creations....

I can't wait!!!

I'm hoping for something marzipan-ish

heya cutie pie! Just wondering....what notes or scents would be in a marzipan-ish perfume? I know there are different ways of making it and the type I know has honey and almonds..do you include anything else?

Got my shipping notice today too!!! I'm super excited to try all of the Fairy Garden potions!!!! yay...thank you Mara and John and the gang!!!! :cat690:

I have had several potions boosted with BANG over the past months and I love it!! My man is out of the country right now so I wear it mainly for the selfies, except when I wear it to the supermarket...it's not that I'm looking for male attention, it's just that the service I receive from the Seafood guy, the meat dept guy and the boys in the deli is fantastic!! They are all going out of their way to help me and couldn't be nicer...smiling and offering to throw in little extras and samples...I can't help myself!! When I wear it I have not one, but two boys in my lane bagging my groceries and insisting to help me out to the car!! This phero blend works like a charm!!!!

The selfies are great also! I know this is enhanced Super Sexy and the name of something could influence how a person perceives its effectiveness, but I really do feel very sexy when I'm wearing it!! Growing up I had a close cousin the same age as I and we were always compared...my grandmother would say that I was the smart one and my cousin was the pretty one so I never felt confident and appealing to the opposite sex...Mara's pheros have gone a long way in boosting my confidence...while the blends with heavy copulins give me a bit of a hard time due to the fact that I can detect them easily, I find that the blends with cops leave me feeling more sexy...

I try to look for potions which are creamy, with coconut or vanilla, to aid in masking the scent..I would definitely recommend trying this phero blend!! It's fabulous, but be selective where and with whom you wear it because the copulins do affect the guys around you!!

It's been a while since I have posted here, but I'm so excited about the NRs this month I had to!! I got the May sampler and 1/6 bottles of FG Orchid and FG Lavender...I wanted more, but decided to wait to try the rest...also got 1/3 of the FG Fairy Floss boosted with Gotcha (1/2) and an unscented LAM(..dad is going to try Dirty Old Man and we'll see if he can keep from having the cops in it all over his clothes..lol Got a Captain Fantastic for my man and an LP Pink boosted with 1/2 Gotcha because it's a staple I can't go with out! I got a Flying Potion and snagged the last five bottles of Mean Business for myself and the family because we all love it!! Mom and I are both using Mega Watt so I got another one of it...it's a monthly thing now! I can't be without it!!

I'm super excited about the yummy Fairy Garden potions coming!!!

Guys...I am not trying to overstep my boundaries because I actually don't know the exact time they will be ready, but Mara only stated they would be ready on May 1st...there was never a mention of it being right at midnight...

I know you all are working very hard and I am only asking so I will know whether or not to stay up since I have to rise early......

when you stated everything would be ready to order on May 1st, were you meaning sometime mid morning on May 1st or right at midnight?

There are 30 mini samples in each set and Mara made 40 sampler sets..

I have been using my Sugared Cherries sparingly for some time now. It is very prominent when wet, but does calm down after a few minutes. I think its sweetness is perfect...I love maraschino cherry so this is right up my alley. It tends to disappear quickly when worn alone, but when I layer it on top of another potion it stays well. OCCO Ambrosia is a favorite of mine, so until now I have been enjoying it with some of my fruity potions, such as Ambrosial Summer and Love Salad and I would like to try it with Crayons: Gamboge, as well as with my OCCO Pink and LAM Pink Amber...I think it would be divine with those as well!!

Welcome!! I am the opposite of you...I was looking for pheros, but fell in love with Mara's potions! Before LPMP I had never heard of artisan perfumes so LPMP's were the first I ever tried... I have really enjoyed learning about pheromones and even more about the different notes and how they come together to form a perfume.. the people on here are wonderful folks...always willing to answer questions and provide input...

Congrats to all of the winners!!!

 

The florals are a bit less foodie than the fruits, in general, but the point of this set is for them to be cup-cakey. I realized these would not be for everyone. You have to like vanilla for this set to work for you.

I am going to love them then!! Yay!! I'm already salivating over the Fairy Floss Fairy Cake..it has my name written all over it and Orchid Fairy Cake is calling to me as well...

Will we order these like the Sugareds by choosing the size and writing in the blank which ones we would like?

I was worried when I heard there was going to be a fairy collection...there are two things which freak me out...fairies who look like grown up women (thanks to a Fairytale book my parents had when I was little with a scary looking woman fairy on the front) and people with animal heads (thanks to my parents letting me watch The Shining when I was little)....I just couldn't bring myself to order the October sampler collection last year..I was devestated!! These fairies look pretty harmless... Yeah, I know I'm weird!! lol

 

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it'll be awesome stuff we'll love.

Donise...I know it will be! I don't know what it is about Mara's potions that turn me into an excited kid!! I am not like this with anything else, only her artisan perfumes...it's crazy!! lol I'm sure she is planning something wonderful and I will try to divert myself until they are posted since it seems there won't be any hints...

Is there any way we could get just a hint of what's to come? I'm doing the LPMP dance here tonight... just one...please!!!

Birkeys I didn't take it as mean. I thought it was cute.

Thank goodness Halo!! That makes me feel better...I was worried..didn't want people to think I was heartless..

My comment/story is the one about my father's friend,John. I would just like to say that I did not mean to seem cruel or uncaring telling it. After reading it again today I thought it could be taken that way. My family found the situation funny because it was so out of character for him to be so forward and outspoken, especially about dating. John and dad have reestablished their friendship and he and I have been friends since that day...we talk on the phone about once a week and once a month I have lunch with him (of course I make sure I am wearing the appropriate pheros for the situation..)..

Done yesterday...

I included a sniffie of this with your package I shipped out today as I thought you would like it, I guess I was right, LOL!!

I can't thank you enough SpriteLeigh!! Either you are psychic or I am sending off some strong vibes today..lol..
