androstenol

2 weeks on, I'm about to buy my FB of this. It has taken on a life of it's own in our house: I wear it on days that I'm working ( I work part-time) on my left wrist close to my wedding band. It's an instant olfactory connection to my husband. That's a pretty potent and emotional thing for me. I'm a grown woman, and this is a huge indulgence, something I'm more likely to have done during our courtship. So me admitting to myself that yes, after all these years of marriage, I still want to feel him and smell him on me, and that I even need that....whew...that's quite a pile of gushy feelings. And I'm very glad. I want a vital marriage in my life, not one where we are roommates. This helps, probably in ways I have yet to discover. Like quietguy described above, it's oriental. Don't be afraid of the pepper, it's mild. And don't be afraid of the leather. Some leather scents make me feel nauseous (new car smell memories) but this is REALLY well blended. I have no trouble wearing this on one wrist and wearing whatever other scent I want for myself that day, it's not overpowering. On hubby's skin it sparkles and morphs over time. Each inhale smells a little different - it's quite complex - and that keeps me coming back for more, and more....

Ok, I'm doing it, and yes, it's very naughty !! I'm buying 2 FB of this. I have never done that with a potion before. But I simply NEED this in my life..one will stay in my stash,. one will go to hubby (with appropriate weekly reminders to wear for me, hehehe). It's THAT good, folks. If you like sandalwood at all, and could use some calming, centering, grounding, and perhaps cuddling...GET THIS.

GoddessinJapan, I'd love to hear an update on this situation. What blends did you find helpful ?

I love this ! What a powerful thing it is to be able to share these experiences in order to help each other.

Welcome Maililyahn, What an interesting nick you have ! Great first review ! I'd love to see you introduce yourself a bit more, tell us about you, what drew you to LPMP on the Introductions thread I love to meet new forum members LOL dammit cutie.pie you must be a speedtyper, you beat me to it !!

Good evening The closest I got to this was an interesting article I found on Google, www.veterinarypartner.com, "Nighttime Waking in Senior Dogs" where use of dog pheromones is mentioned under "Management". It seems that research on pheromones and humans is lagging wayyyyyyyyyy behind. I will be interested what the others say !

Is it possible that I'm interpreting the fig as sandalwood ? To me, this is a divine unisex scent mostly made of sandalwood, which I adore. I may have to retrain my brain/nose to say NOOOO silly, that's the fig !!!!

Patchjulie, Perhaps you are sensing them in a more subtle way. I can tell if a potion has pheromones in it because it seems more alive to me, like it's...living,, and I can feel the intent off it sometimes. Recently, my husband commented that I had an energetic 'spiderweb' around me, when I first wore a Mad Scientist Mixture that I've been planning and thinking on for many weeks. Which was actually a pretty apt description for what I wanted the mix to do. I recall another time when I felt my own pheromone cloud extend about 4 feet around me in all directions, much like a layer of my aura. It shimmered, it was warm and alive, a part of me but with it's own intent. I've learned to modulate how far my cloud extends by changing the ratio of oil to alcohol. Sometimes I will only get a sensation around my jaw and chest (where I applied the pheros) and that will usually extend about a foot. Sometimes it's warm, sometimes it feels flowy like water, sometimes it has a color. My hubby is only just starting to wear pheros, so I'm not that good yet at detecting the change in his auric field, But I would imagine in time, I would be able to perceive him from a distance and sense that he was wearing pheros. Not like there are mentors for that This teacher has to teach herself !!! Is this more in the direction of what you meant ?

I can barely smell this one, how odd is that. I will let it age and try again.

WnG, you are looking for the Pure Cyclopentasiloxane Silicone, PCS. It used to be on the ArtFire website, but now it's on the Etsy website. I would provide a link but my formatting isn't compatible here. You can either go straight to Etsy and look for lovepotionperfumes as the seller, or go to the Lovepotion site, and find the link under "Gift Shoppe".

Darbla, I tried going even more masculine for the same reason, but my body revolted and I was hotflashing for 6 hours, had to swallow a bunch of Estroven to get my body's estrogen levels back under control. If you aren't in peri-menopause, and don't struggle with your hormone levels for another reason, you may be able to do it. I suppose there could be a conversation about 'not coming across as too masculine' but that doesn't seem to be concern if you really really just need to dominate some men.

Alrighty then ! I made good on my promise to myself to treat myself to this. Very light and smooth and whipped in the jar, scent is minimal (in the jar). I rubbed a dime-sized dollop between my palms and suddenly it was some magic scent I had never smelled before. Similar to Cougar, very lemony, maybe with some orange, a tiny hint of amber (there is no lemon as an ingredient) and then moments later I had this sense of various ingredients revealing themselves on the dry-down. It was truly lovely. The most intense and beautiful dry-down experience I have ever had. Keep in mind that although I had gotten a sample of LP Original when I first found LPMP, it always struck me just as 'meh' in the oil. This is a totally different experience for me. I know there are cops, but like so many others, I can't detect them. Hubby asked me to put some in my cleavage and he happily sniffed it there for a while. We both seem to prefer subtle in our scents and phero concentrations. This was a super-duper-amazing surprise. I can see this combining great with just about all the more sexual blends I love (such as Compromising Positions), should I want to do that. But it's sooooooooooooooooo lovely on its own !!! Wears close to the skin on me, but long lasting (this is 7 hours later and I can still smell it on my hands). I can't speak to the moisturizing ability after one trial yet. But I had such an intense experience with this scent that I thought was a sleeper, that I felt compelled to share. It's also lovely to have another way to experience the magick. After this, the only other thing I haven't tried are the wax melts.

I've been wearing SWS in Totem: Beaver with great results. Now hubby wants to get in on the action and tada ! Pheromas !!! We tried this on his skin tonight just in case it was a no-go for him for work. And even wet he goes "yeah that smells good...I could wear that to work...it reminds me of a cologne I used to wear in my 20ties..." Like ssupytalp mentions above, this is NOT soapy, something that would have put him off. It's clean, somewhat like laundry, just masculine enough to be very wearable by a man, but not in-your-face sexy. A really professionally-blended and well designed scent for this phero. I am super grateful. I had bought him A314 a few months ago (if I am not allowed to mention this, feel free to delete this part of my post) but he still has most of it because I cannot STAND him coming home with the scent of it on his collar even after 12 hours !! But this we both like ! He's going to test drive it tomorrow, and I'll report back.

I'm really still just exploring the first 1/3 of the Pheromas set. Having even more choices in just a few days totally blows my mind.

Got a sniffie of this in my last order (thanks Mara) and normally I pass them along to my daughter. It was lying among 2 others next to our keyboard, and suddenly my son bursts into my bedroom: "Oh my GOD Mom, this smells sooooo good !". He's never shown an interest beside occasionally telling me I smelled good. I showed him how to open the sniffie and apply to his skin. He was just in heaven. We went to the LPMP listing for the scent; I was concerned it might be a sold-out PE. But it's indeed still for sale ! We discussed the meaning/effects of the ingredients, and he analyzed whether he could smell them. "It makes me very happy", "It just smells like berries". So now I get to treat my son to his first LPMP for Christmas. Yay !! I think I'm about as excited as he is. This is not a scent I would have picked for him, and I'm glad that 'coincidence' brought him in contact with it. Thanks so much, LPMP team.

Rose, I was keeping my fingers crossed for you about this appointment. Looks like I need not have worried. I'm glad you followed your intuition at the last moment and reached for the EST. I haven't experimented much with it yet, but starting to play its effects in CB. It seems to mellow me out and be able to sleep.

phergineer, very awesome, I'm starting to play with mine like this too. Sky's the limit !!! If you have any interesting results, pass them on please

GoddessinJapan, We both noticed increased vision - that's fascinating ! Something I'm definitely going to track.

Trial Run #2, this time well rested (I'm the woman with adrenal fatigue). I felt I wanted to dilute the strength a little so I poured my trial vial of Treasures: Rubies into the trail spray bottle. I picked that scent because I feel 'rubies' to be the most grounded, root-chakra based LP I have, and I've been fascinated with it for a few days now. This made it about 40 % scented oil and 60 % alcohol-based pheromones. At 1 PM, I did one spritz to bare chest, one spritz to each wrist, let it dry before putting on clothes (in case it stains, as the 'rubies' is actually a bit red itself). After 5 minutes - able to breathe deeper. 15 minutes - a long purr session with my semi-feral cat. I figured she is so sensitive, that if something were amiss in this blend, she would run away. 30 minutes - making plans for several weeks out, feeling positive. Pulse has not changed. Feeling a nice trickle of energy running down my legs to the Earth ( something I usually only get after a long yoga session). 1 hour - can't wait to see my kids after school. Colors seem brighter, as well as an increase in visual acuity (I wear glasses). Music seems more alive. I am bopping to the music. 2.5 hours - I am cracking jokes, wrestling lightly with my kids, I feel at least 10 years younger. Kids seeking me out as a center of feel-good, happy vibes. 3 hours -I have chores to do but they seem like a bare bump in my day now, rather than a huge mountain I cannot even begin to climb. I feel just positive, happy, young. Kids are happy. Update: Effect lasted until 7:30 PM, so 6.5 hours.

And another two thumbs up from me. The unscented phero in oil blended over another LP never did anything for me, perhaps I was using too much, or the intent of the phero wasn't jiving with the scent of the other LP. ANYWAY, this is soooooo soothing. It's my first lavender-heavy scent and it has me wondering how come I don't have more of this goodness in my life. Probably end up with 1 or 2 FB for this one.

Beach Goddess, I always enjoy reading your posts. You strike me as a positive, self-aware sort of woman, always trying to improve yourself. I have no advice. I haven't had to go on a date in over a decade. I would be very lost. But yes, I recall how my moods would go up and down depending on how the date went, whether he called, etc etc. It's a roller coaster. Hang in there, and good luck with trying out new approaches. I will continue to read your posts and share with you from afar .

OOOOOH yes. I created a scent quilt on my hubby's skin with my top 4 picks of the monthly sampler (apart from Mark's Girl Nip which I devoured already). And this is the one I came back to, again and again. Made me want to seriously lick his skin. I had been introduced to SS4M in "Super for Men" and I went for a FB with that one, but damn I far prefer this scent with this phero blend !! I suppose I should say something about the scent itself. However, I am finding it to be just something that 'smells right, smells good" on him. Come to think of it, I sound like many of the husbands whose wives want feedback on their new LP and they can't get more specific than that. I am able to be perfectly coherent about scents on myself...it's musky, it's resiny, it's floral with an undertone of vanilla...but for some reason that part of my brain right now is shut off when I smell a scent on my hubby. It seems to come down to whether it makes him smell like my mate & best friend. Might have to do with the years of imprinting on each other. When I test unisex and male scents on MY skin, I am also able to analyze and describe them, but then I wont know whether I will like them on HIM so I haven't been doing that as much. This reminds me of the pheromone t-shirt parties, where people pick 'blind dates' based on the scent of t-shirts sealed into baggies. Apparently we are attracted to phero signatures that we need in some way at that time, that feel right to us. And since a large part of the experience of this fragrance is the pheromone blend, I would have to guess that both the scent and the phero agree with me. This will be a FB for me for sure.

Too bracing for my nose. I want to love this so very badly, but it once it dried it moved very strongly up into my sinuses and third eye. Wet it was a delightful green scent, though. I didn't manage to enjoy it long enough to test out the phero blend effect on me.

I tested this while sleep-deprived. I have adrenal fatigue and in pre-menopause, and I didn't go to sleep until 5 am, had to be up at 7:30 for my kids. Groggy, fuzzy thinking, slipping into depression. Felt I needed to cancel my appointments. To make this fair, I decided NOT to drink my afternoon cup of coffee. Applied 2 spritzes to my chest at noon, drank some water. 5 minutes - a slight lifting of the depression. 30 minutes - clearer thinking, not feeling as old (might be the DHEA). 2 hours on - able to function almost like normal...thinking is clear. Now it's 3 PM and I'm able to help my son with his multi-variable equations. Mood is 6/10. I'm not jumping around happy, but I'm able to make it through the afternoon with an even temper. I'd call this a huge success for me.
