Beach Goddess

Hello!!

Wet from bottle - amazing and yummy. Sadly, my skin chemistry is morphing this one into something very odd. Like musty (not musky) chocolate. I've tested twice and will let it settle a week or so before trying again (good news from reviews above that this has worked for others). I love all the notes, not sure why my skin chemistry is morphing them all wonky. I can't fully describe well how it sniffs right now. I'm amping the chocolate note and perhaps the amber. Outside of that, other notes aren't peeking out yet. I slathered sugared cherry on top, to amp the cherry - but overdid it so the sugared cherry took over. I have FB and will likely hold unto it - to let it age a bit and also, could be cycle related as skin chemistry definitely changes throughout cycle.

OMG - my order arrived today - lightning fast!! Thanks Mara and all at LP. Love my red bag too! Blackat - YES, I think there should be a travel package offering or some way for us to plan the pilgrimage together - the journey and the destination would both be so fun. I cannot wait to see more pics of the store when everything is installed. This is probably the only time (esp in the Winter) I wished I wasn't in the South. But just for a minute, as I wouldn't survive the cold weather and harsh winters. I'm a wuss - bring on spring and summer (esp summer!). Off to play with my new precious now and to settle them in with the other precious. Super Squee - I"m not going out tonight, can play with LPs!!

thanks StacyK! Is the drop size like from the pheromas dropper? Also you probably made it OCCO!! How awesome is that? Once I get my goodies and start testing, will post reviews/ reports etc. - so excited about these. I will get EOW at some point just not that brave yet. I'll let the pros mix for me in the interim.

StacyK - which cops did you use - full strength EOW, Sheer Essence, or Aja? I just ordered Sheer Essence and Aja - so trying to get as much info on those (already read those threads ) as possible before my goodies arrive. I want to know how to use them safely while still using enough to make it work for me. I thought about getting the regular EOW, but thought I should proceed with caution given my lack of experience with self cop dosing.

MDC - have you tried it with OCCO white? It also layers well with LP Pink. What am I saying? I'm newbie here still, so you probably have tried these. DOI. But it layers well with both of those, I haven't layered it with much else - yet. But will. It's a strong scent and at first not a 'me' scent, but there is also something so wonderfully elegant and strong about it.

I've noticed that LP Black can *sometimes* smell like pee on me too, but only when I go out in the rain. How weird is that? It's like it smells gorgeous but if it's raining, suddenly like a cat pee smell. I thought maybe it was just me but has happened a few times now. Luckily it doesn't stay that way long but it is odd.

Rec'd shipping notice yesterday -- can't wait, tingle tangle and inspire desire on the way!!

Agree - I'm actually hoping it's a bit more of a wait (thru end of Feb at least), so I have more time to save. Is that awful of me? I don't think I'm getting refund, and have root canal pending (I've posted about that before - apologies if posting too much about it, but puts a huge dent in a lot of things), and definitely want to be able to go 'full throttle' when they come out. It's such a special rare event and opportunity. And I know everyone is so excited. I'm hoping that there will be gallons for all so that we can buy well past Feb/Mar/Apr for those of us who may have to be more conservative now. And these potions are so strong with intent (per reviews and per my experience with just a couple of them). Thank you to Mara, John and ALL at LP for this upcoming NR - whatever upcoming date that may be!!

cutiepie - have you tried yet? I love this one, wondering if it worked for you. Hope you love it - it's pretty awesome. . Wore this again today, loving this even more. The name is perfect, along with Gotcha pairing. The only potential downside is I huff my arm constantly when wearing so I might accidentally OD on the Gotcha. I am not a floral person, and I find this scent to be complex in a good way. It's warm, bright, creamy, bubbly, light while still remaining grounded. I think the musk grounds it (probably along with the amber), keeping it close to the skin with good staying power. I think the butter/ cream notes may be the other pairings that make this a rounded scent. It's a fairy goddess scent, in PINK genre but not a full on PINK and not a foodie. The sugar provides lushness. Going back to huffing my arm again - and yep, Gotcha has me in fantastic mood! Delicious and lovely. Musk and gotcha gives it the perfect hint of naughty. ETA: Gotcha is incredible mood booster for me, with even small amount. I apparently love everyone and everything while wearing this. Not a bad thing at all.

Glad this thread got bumped earlier - Finally remembered to add a sample to most recent order - can't wait to try. I hope it wears like sweet honey on me and works like EOW. So excited to finally test!! Will definitely be testing as soon as I receive, will post review then. So yes, pre - SQUEE post.

HOLY SQUEEEEE O RAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Must. start. major savings nooooooooow. :cat690:

I wanted to get the sampler plus like 2 PEs and ultimately probably 3 FBs. The descriptions, labels, notes of so many of the NRs - aaaamazing. I was soooooooo good this month, but broke down the other night and went for 2 FBs - unsniffed - Tingle Tangle and Inspire Desire. I still have to pay for root canal, just will tighten up food budget and a few other areas to make it all work. My entire being was telling me I *had* to have these. Because I don't have an LP addiction... I don't... can stop anytime I want, truly.... But, in my defense, having LPs is a type of therapy ( studies show healing powers of essential oils AND that pampering self in times of stress are HEALTHY habits). So there you have it, it isn't an addiction, it's a healthly lifestyle.

I was up all night last nite, so I went to read reviews on this and inspire desire- I caved and fell like a house of cards. Ordered FB of this and inspire desire - unsniffed. I'm kind of hoping my skin will amp cherry in this one but if not I can add the sugared cherry to it. Will post review once receive and test. ETA: All reviews on both threads are awesome, but must say it was blackcat's that put me over the edge for these 2 FBs. Her review here for tingle tangle and the 'sunshine' metaphor for inspire desire. Thanks to all for such great reviews.

Hmm, I need to test drive Gotcha more - solo first (I always test pheros solo bc I'm so cautious). I really liked the chilled out vibe, but made me have um, romantic thoughts, so this one could be dangerous for me to wear around others. Unless I'm in relationship with them or something or I might embarass myself based on that one test. This thread has inspired me to do more solo testing. I will say, really loving Bang! as a general go to, though admittedly I have no idea of the level of cops in it. But just a dab of that is good for me. I think I'm a reactor to most pheros. Lace is good, but haven't found my sweet spot with that one. Ephoebe, what did you decide to go with or did you get a nice haul during / of pheromas?

This thread has me wanting to try Lina's Beach Bunny Musk with LV's Sweet Pussycat! But I don't have both. I DO have LV's Sweet Pussycat, so that seals it , wearing it tonight!! What shall I combine it with phero wise for the eve - maybe bang (as I've been wanting to try) or something else? It's just so much fun to ponder prior to going out.

Based on all's input about sleep help and vivid dreams (which means probably a great restorative REM cycle), was able to get sample during pheromas. OMG. Mara and all at LP, please always have this!! B2.2 calms my brain down for sleep, but Teddy BB - wow - puts me in sleep mode, and I'm getting great rest lately. Which has been much needed due to some life stressors that have caused cumulative angst and upset my sleep cycles. And I am dreaming more, so yay for restorative REM cycles! HUGE thank you to ALL for creating this and for ALL who have given such great feedback. I wouldn't have chosen on my own because I had no idea. I just use maybe a drop or 2, 1 for the wrist area (then rub together) and I put one directly above my lip/ under my nose. This is better than any sleep remedy I've ever tried. I love B2.2 because it won't make me fall asleep in an anxiety type situation, but will calm anxiety a great deal. Teddy BB, well I'll only wear this prior to sleep, because sleeping during calls, meetings or in public places is generally not good social behavior. **runs off to create plan to hoard Teddy BB**

I have been trying sooo hard not to order anything (have root canal to pay for as i've lamented), but between notes and reviews making it so difficult. There are about 3 this month that are tearing at my heart strings, with this one at the top. I'm not sure how long I can hold out. Marshmallow - always good, tiare - my favorite floral note. O.M.G. Strawberries, cocoa butter and sugar..... I'm sitting on my hands and have hidden my wallet. Apologies I don't have a review, but please keep posting so I can live vicariously through the reviews. Unless my will power dissolves on this and a few others I so want to have..

Hi Andro, I've only tried BAM in the original honey/ vanilla and my skin turned the honey into a baby powder scent, so I can't comment too much on how that scent would work for you. LP has BAM in GGG in Buttercream Peach listed. I haven't tested BAM much but ADORE the Buttercream Peach scent (I have it in LAM with 2 backups). It was spikey peach at first on me, then tamed itself nicely into a bright light sweet peach, but not too bright. Hard to describe. But I've posted a TON about my love for LAM Buttercream Peach, so I'll stop here now. Anyhow, maybe that flavor would work better for you? I don't smell cops at all with that scent and I think LAM has same amount of cops as BAM.

That's awesome livin! I love the heck out of Bang! Reminds me I keep forgetting to try this with LV's Sweet Pussycat - O.M.G. That's it, wearing something with BANG tomorrow. Bang is great for selfies and is good super secret awesome-sauce. I still can't get my sweet spot with LFM, but admit I haven't tested as much for that reason. LFN though, for some reason easier for me to find sweet spot so it's more of a go to along with Cougar and Pop potion. LFN makes me feel like covert super secret sexy mojo woman, slinky sexy. Bang makes me feel like 'oh yea, I'm sexy cool and roll out of bed always looking hot'. Both definitely have their time and place to wear.

Glad this worked out Katz, had to release my reserve, but glad it's going to home that will give it love - looking forward to reviews on this and all others! Such wonderful PEs all around!

Lainey, I love Perty Flirty but I also have upcoming root canal. loverly - anyhow, will have to post my back up bottle on my swap page. That one is unopened FB RB if you're interested post on my page even though it's not on there yet. The good news is I still can keep my other one, still almost FB. Back on topic, I am literally sitting on my hands to avoid ordering anything. I don't know if it's possible bc all the NRs look awesome. And i did reserve Lusty Cherry (missed Lina's mermaid ). But better for budget. Still compiling list but looks like potentially the monthly sampler, plus reserved PE, plus maybe a couple of samples I'm still test driving. Don't tell my wallet. I should repeat my mantra - homemade soup and salad is easy and healthy! Plus so are chili and gumbo, and it's that kind of weather season now. brr

Tink, I think you should def start thread - your idea and a good one - people can share their own 'kits' and for what purpose - i.e. social, sexy, or emergency, whatever. And reasons why they choose certain pheros, would be fun and also good info share.

I can't tell from thread, did I reserve the Lusty Cherry or were they gone prior to my post? I saw respone to my intent question but wasn't sure about the reserve. ETA: Guess I should have checked the 1st page, I see my name now, just for some reason missed response post for request. DOI on my part. Muchas Gracias Mara and to all for creating lovely PEs!

Really cutiepie? That would be awesome, I'll ask for exchange. Let me know if your ISO and I'll check my stash so I can give something in return. I have some off ranch you may want samples of, just based on some of your posts. Will discuss deets via email- muchas gracias!
