TheBirkeys

I can't give you any scientific info, but I have been using pheros around my dad for the past 3-4 months and spritzing him also to help lift his humor. Mom uses them some also. He has suffered a mirage of health problems and has only been able to do limited walking for some time (he feels like he lets my mother down because he can't help around the house like he used to). As a result, he was feeling depressed and it clearly showed. He seems to be more happy over the past month or two. I mainly spritz him with Levitation and Alpha Androstenol and recently purchased Androstenone for him (that will be here with my coming order). In the beginning he told me using pheromones was a waste of money, but over the past months he has been asking to be sprizted so he must be noticing something and putting 2 and 2 together.... I hope your father starts feeling better soon. I know health issues can leave our parents depressed and us also when we see them go through difficult times..

I can't wait....the anticipation is growing!! For any newbies...one thing I have learned is not to rule out a potion just because I think the notes aren't ones I would like. I try to always buy the samplers and try every potion in it..I found some favorites that I otherwise would not have tried! Discovered Gypsum White that way and it still remains one of my all time favs!! Bring on the December potions!!!!

I am very happy I was able to snag a bottle of Tyvey's Berry Patch! To be honest, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not because I tend to amp patchouli. Every time I wear it I can't stop smelling myself..lol It is one of the most original PEs I have tried. The patchouli is really very beautiful and adds so much to the overall fragrance. The sweetness is there and it is just enough. The coconut doesn't stand out on me...in every perfume I have with coconut, it tends to fade into the background. Maybe it's that everything just blends together beautifully because the ylang ylang was there, but didn't stand out. Either way, I love it!!! I'm so mad at myself for not having it boosted with a fabulous phero blend like Lumina, Gotcha or Perfect Match. One thing is for sure...if there ever happens to be a rebrew...I'm snagging some more!! A winner in every way!!!

Wow! These look wonderful! What a surprise!!! I was NOT expecting to see December NRs so soon!! I'm most excited about Pink Elf, of course.....but I'm absolutely loving Warm Jammies' label!!!! Can't wait for descriptions!!!!!

I have been using Leather off and on for about 6 months now. When I first got it I wasn't sure if it would fit my personality or be a blend that I could use. Essentially, it is Dominance with some girlie thrown in. I'm all about the girlie thing and I love the self effects I get from Leather! It helps me to be more assertive and get things done without feeling like a domineering bi-atch. I have worn it around other people, but haven't tested it with them to see how it affects those around me. In my opinion it is a blend that is very useful to have in ones arsenal! The four ingredients in Leather are the same first four ingredients as in Audacious. I think that's why I love my Audacious so much...

I got B2.2 a few months ago to help me when I get stressed. I tend to dwell on situations and it sometimes affects my sleep because I replay things over and over in my head. It has been a Godsend! I now use it every night before bedtime, usually with a potion which contains lavender, like New or Sleep Tight Might. It has really helped in allowing my mind to be able to rest. I also use it during the day if I encounter a negative situation...again, within minutes, I can feel the tightness in my neck muscles begin to go away and my mood changes considerably. I don't get feelings of joy or happiness with it..but I do get a calm and peaceful feeling and I'm able to let go of things. I definitely recommend trying B2.2!

I love G2 and Levitation, Super Sexy, Leather and also Topper.... Maybe Lemon Cake w/ Levitation.... Manly lavender w/Teddy Potion... Tonka berry w/Leather... LP Black w/LFN? I know that several of us talked about using Leather and LFN around the house to get things done (before Mega Watt) and I'm thinking that since MW is still in testing stages you won't be using it? It would be a nice one to have if you could!

I'm glad you got one! please post here when you get it (the good and the bad..lol)...I love it and I'm anxious to see how others find it! Lady V...I think it's a very sexy perfume!! I wish there had been more and you were able to snag one...I think you'd love it!! Maybe I can request it again in the future as a PE and Mara will make more extra now that there are several who would like to get one.. liz..that would be great! I didn't know they did that with PEs, but I would love to know what others think about it!! dolphindolls and girlfriday...I really wish there were more so you all could have gotten one...you would love it! I know it's hard for Mara to judge when she's making it how many people would want an extra bottle and as she explained it to me (because I was trying to choose notes that everyone would like), the PEs are for each individual and leftovers aren't guaranteed.... I will ask Mara in the near future about making it again because I also would like more bottles of it! Maybe she could make a few extra at that time...or maybe even someone else could request it as their PE...I'm not sure exactly how it works..

Thank you all for your comments! I have been wearing it all day to see if it morphs and it pretty much is the same after dry down. I would love to do another PE of this in the future! I only got 4 bottles of it...2 boosted with half boost each of Cougar and 2 boosted with half boost each of Gotcha. I would like to get a few more and boost them with Super Sexy and with Levitation. If I did request another PE of this, I would ask Mara if she could make the pink sugars a little more prominent so it would be more of a pinky potion. I'm so happy with everything she did in this PE..I wouldn't change one thing...I would like to see what a future PE of it would be like if the pinkiness were amped up a smidge. For those of you, like girlfriday, who love Gamboge, you would be crazy about Pink Me!!!! To put it in terms of Lady Victoria....Pink Me is like Gamboge's big sister who lives in the tropics and is a little more refined..lol My next PE I am already planning (if we can do them for December)...I would like to do a white potion....vanilla, soft leather, paper white florals, Egyptian musk and some white sugar!!

I just received mine today and I couldn't wait to do a review for my first PE. I will review again after the potion has had a chance to get over travel shock. Firstly I will say...I love it!! It is what I was hoping for and more! The fruits and orchid along with the sugars blend together so perfectly that it is hard to pick one out! If I had to pick one, I'd say right now the fruit seems to be the most prominent. This potion puts me in mind of Crayons:Gamboge w/Levitation with just a hint more pinkness. It's light and beautiful..and very tropical smelling!! A fabulous perfume, but would it be anything else in the hands of Mara??!! Halo, she has definitely earned the title of Potion Master!! It is very delicious!!! I gave her carte blanche and she took some of the notes I gave her and tweeked them with her Mara magic...and presto...an unbelievably fantastic creation!! I could bathe in this..really!!!

The Birkeys - Pink Me in the Tropics Pineapple, Guava and Coconut Cream sweetened with pink berry sugars, with a dash of musky Oakmoss in the base and crowned with an Orchid on top. A tropical delight!

OMG!! I just got my Pink Me in the Tropics and tried it....sooooo delicious!!! It smells heavenly!! Thank you Mara..you nailed what I was hoping for!!! Sweet, but not too sweet and pink, but not too pink....the flowers and the fruit and melting into one fabulous scent....I'm a happy girl today!!! I know I need to review this in its proper place..as soon as I learn how to transfer the picture I will..

I got my notice yesterday!! Woohoo!! This is one I am super excited about....it has the pheromas sampler, a fb of Mega Watt spray and my first PE!!! I can't wait til it gets here!!!!

Mara, the notes you chose are perfect!! I can't wait to get mine and slather it all over me!! Thank you so much!!

tyvey, your PE is fabulous!! I was able to snag a bottle! It is so unique..I can't stop smelling myself when I wear it! lol

OMG, Mara, the label is beautiful!!! I love it!!! Donna's is also gorgeous!!! Thanks, Cutie Pie!! I am wanting to do a series of "pink" potions with "Pink Me" somewhere in the name... Well, dolphin dolls, this is my first PE and I'm not too sure of which notes go together so I gave Mara various ones and told her what was my inspiration and gave her carte blanche to work her magic.. Some that I gave her were vanilla, tropical fruits, coconut, orchid, musk, sandalwood, berry sugars and spun sugar (cotton candy), but whether she used those or thought others would be better I don't know yet...My inspiration came from her Pink Musk, Levitation scented, Sweet Chic and Midnight Rapsody....I am waiting also to see the final notes she chose..I'm sure it will be to die for!!

Ohhhh, that's wonderful!! Definitely going to have sweet dreams tonight!! thank you, Mara....Jill xo

Bumping.... Just wondering about the PEs submitted after these were posted...will they be ready soon? Please forgive me..I'm trying very hard to be patient, but this is my first PE and I'm super excited...I know there may not be extra made, but I was hoping either way it would be posted here..thank you so much...

Thanks for letting us know in advance! Do you know yet if there will be PEs in December?

Several people use LFN when they need to get things done at home, kind of like a motivator to get moving...I think this is where the discussion about the new phero blend came from. I don't know if you purchased the sample set of new potions, but if you did, a trial size of this new spray is included. It took me a while to get all of the phero blends sorted out..lol I looked for mainly social pheros in the beginning...I like Alpha Androstenol so I have several blends with it listed as a first ingredient. The most helpful thing for me was to look up the wiki phero list under reading and compare everything...G2 is a really nice blend and it says it is for female/female interaction, but I love it for the self effects..it has the alpha androstenol, the DHEAS and the girlie and the queen B pheros in it! Leather is great to get motivated (it is Dominance with a little girlie thrown in)...they are all great! I just saw you had addressed this question to Halo..forgive me..

I got 2 samplers (women's)..one for me and one for my mom. I also got a full spray bottle of the new energy phero blend (couldn't stop myself..lol)! On Etsy I purchased several phero blends and single molecules I have been wanting to try. I have my eye on numerous November NRs, but I want to try them first. Super excited about the new potions....they are going to smell delicious I know!!!!

I am trying to be a patient little girl, but I am chomping at the bits! lol When you say the end of this week....are you meaning Friday (work week), or Saturday or Sunday? I guess my question is...when does the week end for you?

Any hints as to when the PEs that were submitted later in October will be available? I know Mara is extremely busy trying to get the November NRs ready by the end of this week so I am happy to wait. I am just excited as this is my first PE.

.I just realized that in deleting the incorrect info I had posted, I deleted my response also. I'm sorry for posting incorrect info. In my studies this was a topic that was covered. I know it's from the early 70's and was a theory which was highly controversial even then and I should have researched the topic again to find current info before posting. Thanks for making me aware of it. The use of copulins was something that I seemed to be having trouble with and I did consult my doctor (and another in the family) about it. I try to use the words maybe or might when I post because I am not the expert and my words are not facts. I am only saying this because I have the highest respect for Mara and the business she has built and would never want to post anything off the top of my head or things I looked up on the internet (as it is unreliable) as fact. From now on I will leave the pheromone advice to the PM! With that being said...I could not imagine spending so long on the road with an all-female band and everyone PMSing at different times! That shows a true dedication to your music! Thanks for always being so nice on the forum and in your emails. That's why I love LPMP so much (well, that and the fact that the potions smell so delicious!)
