  1. The lovely picture on the front of the bottle is definitely influencing me. I opened this up without knowing the ingredients, next to my daughter. She goes "ewwww that's too fruity for me" wheras I get lost in visions of rubbing my face against hemp. Raw hemp smells amazing. Sweet, a little grassy, grounding. I've gone back in this thread and I seem to be the only one making that association. I'm slowly going through the phero list and meditating on something that would be a good match with this, perhaps Empathy Potion (binding people together). I want to assure myself that this will not get lost in my stash. It's a bit of a sleeper, from what I can tell on the forum.

  2. Thanks for your responses, everyone. It's a little daunting when things affect me differently than the majority. But still quite the adventure !

     

    I think I had my first hit with CB today. I've worn it 3 days in a row now. I was dropping off a box to a fellow LP'er at the post office, and a post-menopausal woman who knows me quite well by sight was serving me. It's usually very business-like, dealing with her. This time, she suddenly got all chatty, I suddenly got feeling very happy/giggly. Whole thing lasted maybe 3 minutes. But it was intense and there was no other reason for her to act this way towards me.

     

    I realize I'm far behind on most of you for experimenting with EST. I've been focusing on SWS and Dominance for my job, thinking EST could only work against me. But it does seem to have a power all its own. Call me fascinated. I'm about to embrace a phero that is quintessentially feminine. I like not having to 'steal' mones from the male realm all the time.

  3. Does anyone from the forum use CB specifically before sleep or specifically to reduce anxiety? I'm not talking about the 'crash' some chatted about possibly having back in March/April 2013 on this super long thread. I noticed today that it made my thoughts calm, and sort of 'cuddle' with myself, get into a meditative, relaxed mood. Wondering also if this may help me with PMS, as Balm Bomb does nothing for me. Will definitely try for that in the next few days.

  4. This will be an interesting thread to follow. I am no expert so I will simply answer from my own life.

    My hubby and I are imprinted on each other (10 plus years marriage). He doesn't see me more or less dominant when I wear Dominance, he doesn't see me as more flirty when I wear Cougar. He does however respond to cops, which his body really has no control over.

     

    Pheromones can't fix emotional problems you are having. If you, for example, are shy and awkward at work, then sure a social blend can pave the way. But people are more complex than that, eventually you will have to back it up with a solid foundation of actually being social. I've heard it say that pheros can be a welcome crutch for when you are trying to improve yourself and actually making changes in your behavior. People who have known you a long time will remember your old phero signature, and so this can help them see you in a slightly different light.

     

    We still know so little about changing our own body chemistry towards a 'soup' we want. Ultimately, we do seem to be prisoner of our chemistry.

     

    A case in point that I like to bring is up me wearing androsterones and androstenones. I'm a woman in my 40ties, most likely I have

    an ever decreasing phero signature of estrogen, pregnenolone, maybe some epi, probably the androstenols....my testosterone levels will never be high unless I take supplements for that. So if I am in a situation where I want that 'respected/feared guy aura" then I have to reach for that pheromone mix and temporarily give myself a boost. (By the way, LPMP's Dominance potion contains mones much more amenable/similar to a female signature, a fact that I LOVE). So let's say I land a job based partly on my male mone signature, and partly because I've worked my butt off and I'm really actually that good. For a few weeks, I can probably ride on the mones, but people will see beyond that eventually. If I'm soft-spoken, don't speak with confidence, my body language isn't congruent, don't make tough decisions...then eventually people won't see me as the leader I was hired to be. I have no easy answers here. I see mones as a tool, best carefully applied. I am learning and changing into the person I want to be, with the help of the mones, but I need to stay authentic, and I need to do a lot of introspection. And eventually, the true test of whether I have achieved the inner change that I wanted, is to walk in with no pheromones.

     

    This is truly a deep subject, one we should all ponder.

  5. Luna, I haven't heard of that one yet :)

     

    It's quite daunting to join LPMP when it's already been going for years, and to catch up on what all the Pheros are, what yumminess has already transpired before I ever got here, ArtFire, wax melts, soaps, body lotions.... and then not to forget about the monthly samplers. And I have to teach my nose what the names are of the things it likes and dislikes (and the dislikes are super odd for me). And to expose myself to scents I would not have thought of, to try to rewire my brain, expand my creativity. You ladies are so awesome in guiding us newbies. Thanks to everyone.

  6. Wore this again tonight...looks like exactly a month later even...how interesting ! I am loving this one even more, I can't BELIEVE the board isn't full of mention about this one. Still getting that 'surrounded by a beautiful silky, sparkly energy' vibe from it. Mysterious, amaaaaaazing

     

    :morph:

  7. @seajammarket, I can see the SS4W boost, great idea, I'm leaning more towards a LFM boost. I feel very grounded and balanced with this scent, as well as sexy, and I think LFM would complement that beautifully.

  8. My nick here is androstenol because ...my goodness...the first time I tried it I felt like I had had a margarita. Very social, very happy, also aroused. That lasted for about 10 applications (either straight or in Cougar). Now Cougar and Topper still make me feel young, but I don't get the talkactive boost, and straight a-nol does zip for me. That was back around May. I'm hoping by laying off the straight a-nol for a year, I might be able to rehabilitate my receptors. That's the theory anyway.

    I still get muted selfies from SWS, Dominance, LFM, LFN, and many of the non-pheros such as Naughty Nurse. But seriously, those first few weeks of experimenting with pheros were truly wild. And I can still affect my target audience regardless, so that is a definite bonus.

  9. Hello tink,

     

    Lovely to meet you !! Yay, your first review, how exciting, and you did an excellent job. And this is my favorite Halloween scent of the month for sure !!!!

  10. It's rare that my family comments on my scents anymore, but this got a compliment from both hubby and daughter, 10 hours after I applied it. Felt wrapped in warmth and comfort all day. One of those scents that I loved wet out of the bottle and until the very last whiff of it disappeared.

  11. phergineer,

     

    Has happened to all of us. I will still carry lens cleaner pads with me if I'm working with a new LP so I can quickly remove it in case I overdosed or suddenly in the wrong situation. Mara also makes a soap that I do believe helps get rid of pheros.

    I have a bottle of the Beaver, I do half spritzes on my wrists and chest, so 3 half spritzes which would be pretty much half of what you did :) I love it at work and for meditation. I get an 'everything is ok' sort of vibe with it, and so do the others around me. Don't give up on this one.

  12. Bought this off Artfire, already loved it wet in the bottle....adore it dry. It's different enough to warrant a full bottle. I have been collecting resin/incense smells for a while now, this is lovely, dark but positive. The honey makes it a tiny bit foodie. Very balanced, very lovely, totally wearable for a night out. A bit too heavy for morning for me, though.
