androstenol

StacyK, Totally agree with you about not letting my daughter wear it to school, she's around enough pheros there as it is. Wikipedia tells me that nones are also produced by females, obviously in lesser concentrations though. However, I don't want to derail this topic any more, so let's get back to the original intent of this post where people report their experiences.

I could have sworn this had leather (the scent, not the phero) in it !I had to come back here just to check. This is concentrated stuff ! 2 swipes from the sample vial is more than plenty of me re: scent and cops

Hi StacyK, Appreciate your concern, I really do. I know there have been various threads about phero use around children, and a few parents saying they've let their teens use a phero. How would you say the amount of androstenone in one small spritz to each wrist for a one time experiement compares to her sitting in a classroom of 45 kids, half of them being boys, and all in puberty ? For 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, 9.5 months a year ? That's gotta be a good dose right there as well.

Hubby wore this overnight for me, and said he felt very calm. No signs of depression this morning...in fact he made me breakfast in bed.

I wish I could. I have the unscented Balm Bomb and I suspect it's again a matter of too high a concentration not working for me at all. I have the sample of Beautiful Dreamer / Balm Bomb and just wet in the vial I was sort of melting into it. I haven't given it a test drive ( I have 17 pheromas samples to go through, whew !!! ), but I suspect it's something I'm more likely to want to wear on my own than something between hubby and I. Hubby has a sample vial of Goal/ Teddy BB and I don't feel drawn to it. I can't say how much of it is the scent versus a phero blend I just don't need right now. I wont give up on it though; next time Mara adds it to another scent, I'll try it again.

phergineer, I have visual ability but it's rare, so I was pretty tickled to see it. I'm mostly kinesthetic ( I feel auras with my hands/body) She reported the warmth in her chest in her write-up without me even being aware she had felt it, so there was no coaching involved. I do have energy phenomena with just about every LP, but I realize this is a public forum and so I pick and choose when it seems important enough to mention.

I had bought a bottle of B2.2 unscented but sold it in the Trade Pages because I wasn't getting ANYTHING from it. But as with so many things, seems like the lowered concentration, combined with the amazing scent, and a man I love to put this one...BINGO...ok, I'm a convert, I get it now !! We had a long cuddle session, but of an entirely different vibe than with Mark's Girl Nip/ Perfect Match. I just felt almost childlike, glued to his heart. There was no hanky panky, just a very deep, calm, heartbeat to heartbeat sort of a timeless space to sink into. The scent is mild on him, and rubbed off on me...it seems well-blended to me and I can't pick out any single notes. Or maybe it's just that I need these pheromones so much right now that the selfies far eclipsed the scent. After my cuddle session, I still had a very open heart and decided what the heck, let me try spending time with my feral cat. She still won't be picked up, so I put on my bathrobe, left the neck open, figuring she'd get a whiff off whatever I rubbed off my hubby. She went into a trance-linke state on my chest for maybe 10 minutes. She's never stayed on any part of my body before. It would have been surreal had it not been for the powerful effect it was still having on me...and me trusting that she would get selfies from it as well. She never purred, she just went very soft. After 10 minutes, she opened her eyes, her face only inches from mine, kinda scared herself for being so close to me and hopped off.

Looks like my middle school daughter was the first to test drive this ! I let her have 1 small spritz to each wrist, but had alcohol wipes standing by in case it made her feel weird. It was already 7 PM, it was a Friday so I figured hey, if she's up for the next 5 hours, no harm done. Here she is: ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I was wrapping a present for one of my friends for her birthday, and I found myself continuously sniffing my wrist. It smelled great! I wrapped my presents and they seemed a little dull, so I started cutting up some strips of wrapping paper. I curled them with my scissors, and I just made... a lot of them. I'm creative, I'll say, but usually don't go that for just to make RIBBONS. When I first smelled it, actually, I got a warm feeling in my chest. Usually, when I'm creating something, I rock out to music and talk to myself a bit, because that usually gives me inspiration. This time, though, I found it bugging me to have any noise at all. To be honest, the pheromones gave me quiet a bit of creativity just by themselves. Music and noise kinda pissed me off when I was working. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ OK back to Mom. When we first applied it, I saw a burst of yellow energy in her aura, at heart height. That was interesting. She said she felt very focused and more creative than usual. I asked about feeling hyper - she said she actually felt calmer. So for her, this seems to be a focus/creativity potion. I will try it out myself and report back later.

That would be wonderful. I imagine he might think of this as one of his babies, and I would like him to know it has definitely rekindled that deep bond between hubby and I. This is better than counseling sessions, when you really don't have any problems between you...just kids, life, stress.

Ooooook what magic is this ??? Hubby put one swipe across one wrist, two swipes across his neck and before I knew it, I was glued to his neck, cuddled there like a cat, something I haven't felt drawn to do in 5 years (yes we have sex but it's perfunctory- this was just like our first 5 years of marriage)...which led to kissing and whispers of "I Love you". We had a very close and intimate 45 minute cuddle session, until the kids revolted and banged on the door. Just to see how else we could change the vibe, I added Gotcha! to myself and we got a little more frisky still. We have a raincheck for later....I am floored. He's tried Voracious for me a few weeks back but I didn't love it. This was INSTINCTUAL for me. I NEEDED to be with my man. Thank you Mark for this, and for Mara for the rebrew. Mark is one of the forum members, right ? I would like to say hello to him personally but I don't know which one of you he is. Oops I haven't even mentioned the scent...the description above is very very good...all I know is that I need it on a very primal, emotional level. It smells the way I need my husband to smell. Hopefully that makes sense to someone. Later Addition: I think it's good to test out pheros without knowing what blend it is. I knew it was a bonding one, but I thought it was Heart & Soul. On researching, this is actually Perfect Match, with a lot of similar ingredients except it doesn't contain EST and does contain Androstadienone and DHEAS.

hearts, My black cat who has now passed (I consider him the only 'familiar' I've had so far) sensed my increased hormones as well when I was pregnant. He would follow me across the street to the playground, would be on my bed the moment I was and not leave. And when I started bleeding mid-term, and some idiot doctor predicted we would lose the baby, the cat remained very calm and we took that as a sign that everything was ok after all. And it was. Once the birth happened, my cat left me and lay down protectively next to my son. That carried on for about 6 months. Gawd I miss him.

breadcrumbs for phergineer

Phergineer , That is truly awesome. It was high time for you to be recognized, and if SWS gave him that push to do it, that is an EXCELLENT outcome. I still wonder sometimes how much is me, how much are the mones. But especially in a longterm situation like work, I have put in hours and hours of hard work and that's something you can't fake. Plus you and I are smart enough to look at something so very many people don't believe even works. We researched, we spent money, we experiemented, we researched more, spent more money...that is a form of tenacity and intelligence as well. We have earned this ...you have earned this. I'm both proud and excited for you.

OMG this is super news. It's sooo dark and cold out now...this would be my first winter with LPMP....Blessings for all you do, Mara.

Speaking of freezing, does that affect the vials at all ? More travel shock ?

Got my notice, and I live in the same town as LPMP, so might be as soon as tomorrow (except it often goes over to the Portland sorting station first) but definetly by Saturday. Is it wrong that this will be the highlight of my week ?

Phergineer, First off, yayyyy, I'm so happy to see you getting such good results. When I wear Dom, it creates a wall between myself and others, something I use quite deliberately on days I want to be respected but left alone. I'm also experimenting with epi right now and will report more later. SWS has the same vibe for me that you just described...approachable and in charge. Good for teamwork as long as I want to be the leader. And I've always gotten this "everything is ok" sort of vibe with it as well, it relaxes me at work, which is huge for me because I'm in a high-stress situation. I will be getting this as an UN sample (so far I have used it in Totem: Beaver) and hoping I can find my sweet spot with it while added to other LP's. Then I will have so many amazing choices, ways to treat myself and be relaxed at work and feel in charge. I have also used SWS during difficult parent-teacher meetings with good results. I didn't want 'bonding time' with the teacher, I wanted her to support my son and do her job, and SWS gives off that sort of vibe.

Thanks cutie.pie, I'm still not able to figure out how to post links

You are correct. Mara stated that in several places.

phergineer, So awesome that you feel better. However, you seem to be making my point for me. You are off BC and you are happy and your libido is probably back. That means higher personal pheromone production as well. It seems to be a feedback loop to some extent. As we are happier/healthier/sexier, we make more pheromones, and the increased pheromones make us happier/healthier/sexier. For a woman in my 40ties, there is only so much pheros my body can still produce, no matter how healthy I keep myself. So when I add pheros artificially, it levels the playing field for me.

WildAutumn, I have wondered this myself. In the days when voters actually MET the people they ended up voting for...how did they respond to the person's pheromone levels ? Did Abraham Lincoln have a high level of rones ? And more disturbing, is part of the reason why women historically did not occupy positions of power linked to our own body's chemistry...that people want rones/nones in their leaders and few women have that ? I suppose that is getting off topic. I used to guess that the largest chunk has to do with her personality. And I used to say with her energy/aura. But I've come to experience a shockingly huge range of behavior from people in the last few months, with my personality and my ki/chi/energy not having changed at all, by me 'simply' wearing a LPMP blend, especially with added pheros. I'm starting to wonder just how much we, as mammals, base our first impressions on scent molecules. And what you are describing are those first few seconds of being with someone. Which is a whole lot less about 'who the person is deep down inside' and more about their appearance, their body language, tone of voice,..and apparently scent.

Earring lockets ! Never heard !!! However, I scored some earrings and bracelets made of leather and that's been fun to play with.

Thanks everyone, there is obviously a whole lotta OCCO'ing going on !!!! > scampers off to cart

Been quiet on this thread...are people busy layering with the sugared layerables and not using these as much ? I seem to have amassed a stash of cop-enhanced scents already but am curious about these and am wondering how much you guys are currently using the OCCO's.

How interesting !! Wore this with TMI to the movies for some excellent bonding time. Hubby: "ohhhh what is that...it smells like...something from my childhood, like...chocolate..." and my daughter: " I smell honey". I was perplexed, and I had not memorized the ingredient list, and I came back to this post to put 2 and 2 together...the cocoa butter and the honey We were all standing in my scent cloud and each smelled a different scent. This is sooooooooooooooo incredible. Makes me wonder when we say 'my skin amps XYZ' how much of that is really our skin versus our unique perception of that scent.
