  1. Aww I'm sorry to hear the Un didn't work for you! But thanks for letting me know, I hadn't thought of that. I think I'll try a trial size first to make sure it's not too much for me too before going FB on it. I've been kind of a phero lightweight with what I've tried so far, with the exception of Balm Bomb, which I can apparently soak in a vat of before reaching my sweet spot
  2. I'm sorry, I have a post-migraine hangover and for some reason, simple math seems to be beyond me. If I want to boost a regular sized (10 ml) FB of an LP with an UN phero blend, to the same strength that Mara uses in her "pheromas," how much UN would I need to put in? SS4W is the PERFECT "dose" for me in Sneaky Clean, but I was thinking with the UN trials this might be my chance to boost an LP I already have with the same "dose," if that makes sense?? I'm just not sure if 3.5 ml is enough. I think it is but I feel like I'm trying to think through oatmeal. (You're welcome for that lovely mental image ) Thanks!
  3. I know I already reviewed the scented version of this, but I just had to come back and enthuse over it (again, some more... ) CB as a phero blend is just all kinds of amazing. It has definitely been, in my relationship, the "heart to heart", cuddly, snuggly, relaxed-and-all-is-good-with-the-world, long happy chats blend. The "next day" effects have also been pretty impressive- I caught my man being all protective of me just the other day after an amazing CB-enhanced night (ordinarily he's much more laid back). OMG, WARM FUZZIES, Y'ALL! I really can't rave about it enough. I'm seriously considering ordering a bottle of the UN version next month as a Christmas present for us. I find that even though we both love its effects, I don't reach for the scented version very often because I don't care much for the scent. It actually makes me nauseous after a couple of hours. I had to make it through most of the trial vial to put two and two together on this one, none of my other LPs have that effect on me. I think it may be because I perceive it as very strong even though I don't use much and keep it below decolletage level. I need a "CB lite" version! Think "week old clean laundry" instead of "fresh from the dryer!"
  4. How about: Lemon Cake + Perfect Match Manly Lavender + Teddy potion Irish Coffee + heart & soul or G2..not sure why "boozy coffee" is linked with "female bonding" in my mind...oh wait never mind (Honestly if it's THAT delish, I hope you will offer an unphero'd version of it too!)
  5. NaNoWriMo is going well for me, so I decided to splurge and treat myself as a reward for my hard work (though I won't let myself actually wear my new goodies until I've "won" if they arrive before that ) I ordered a FB each of Beautiful Dreamer and Lightning in a Bottle. I was very tempted to at least sample Dom Noire because Black is my favorite LP, but I really don't think I could handle the pheros in that one. I don't know that I could wear Dominance rather than it wearing me, if'n you know what I mean.
  6. This is a beautiful scent, I kept meaning to post about it. It was a gift for one of my daughters who has a tough time handling stress, every little thing seems to get to her (though part of it could be hormones, I guess, she's almost 11!) It is just beautiful, soft and warm and comforting. It is not strongly floral to my nose, but I'm sure skin chemistry plays into that. Mad props to Romie! Can't wait to see what she comes up with next
  7. I love PM! I thought I reviewed it already but I guess not! I get a lot of tenderness from my husband when I wear it. He is more touchy feely (big thing for him, because he's not the touchy feely type) and it's in an affectionate, rather than sexual, way, if you know what I mean. And while I don't wear it for this reason, I have noticed that he seems likelier to go out of his way to do nice things for me. The other day, I was wearing PM just for a quiet day with him at home, and mentioned to him at one point, just in an off-handed "I wish that was better" way, that I was dissatisfied with something about a room, and he proceeded to reorganize the whole room on his own initiative, which I certainly never asked for or expected (though it WAS a huge improvement, I have to say!) As for self effects, I find myself just noticing the little things about him that first attracted me to him all over again. It's weird (but in a good way!) I do feel "cuddlier" too. It just generally seems to lift my mood, without the accompanying gabfest that Levitation turned out to be All in all, if any phero blend could convert me into a daily user, it would be this one. I haven't tried it in other sorts of social situations so I can't comment there, but for just "feeling the love" in an established relationship, it can't be beat.
  8. Have fun on your vacation! Don't forget to take time to relax.
  9. I am new for this too. We can hold hands (figuratively speaking) and panic together. I have been assuming so far that the phero selection is dependent on Mara's muse, since the scent will be congruent with the phero blend chosen for it and vice versa. If I'm correct about that, it may not be the exact same selection of pheros as previous Novembers. I am thinking probably that the pheroma sampler will be in oil form, not sprays, unless there's a special case like the Flying Potion w/Levitation that was in October's Weenie sampler. Again this is all speculation on my part. I'm thinking that doing all mini-sprays wouldn't be very cost effective for sampler purposes, so from a purely practical standpoint, that's my guess!
  10. I'm probably just a dork, but I have no idea how to flip my hair. I don't think I've ever done it. I can imagine myself spraining my neck trying to accomplish it. If a phero can teach me, I'm all for it
  11. I don't think this one is part of the newbie sampler, unless it was substituted for something out of stock? If you got the new release sampler for the month it came out, it would have come in that one. As for me, I can't believe I didn't review this one yet. This is one of my favorite LPs for sure. I get vanilla glazed lemon pound cake topped with fresh strawberries that does indeed dry down after a while into LP Original, which I also love. For me it's a "best of both worlds" scent, my man generally prefers fruity or foody scents on me but they aren't my favorite on their own. This is one I can also enjoy that does not leave me smelling super fruity for the whole wear time Mara works her magic yet again at making gourmand scents still smell grown up and sexy, so I don't feel silly wearing it even while it's still all nommable and cake-y. I did have my FB boosted with Perfect Match and it's, well, a perfect match
  12. Same here! Sooo excited about pheroma month! And an energy boosting blend would be awesome for the holiday! I spot Christmas decorations (or worse, Christmas shoppers) and all energy vanishes.
  13. Welcome! I agree with trying the samplers. The newbie samplers are amazing, if you haven't already checked one out It's also a great deal $-wise! When you find a scent that you fall in love with, you'll know it pretty fast because the trial vial will disappear before you know what's happened If you need an example of what the roll-on bottles look like, check out the Artfire site. When you click on one of the perfumes there is also a picture you can click that is an example of what the bottles look like, it is posted above the description. There are also a couple of pics currently on my trade thread.
  14. I don't (usually) feel bad about using pheros. I use them for self effects or happy sexy fun times with hubby, and he doesn't care if I use them or not. As far as other people go, I see no difference between my use of pheros and wearing the right outfit or a good push up bra or knowing how to apply makeup without looking like a drunken clown (I ONLY WISH I COULD). That being said, talking about pheros and guilt...I went to confession yesterday (not about my phero use ) and made the mistake of wearing Flying Potion w/Levitation. Normally Father (imagine a very serious, middle aged man with a heavy Eastern European accent) doesn't say anything until after I've confessed all my sins, but yesterday he was interrupting me after every.single.sin to give me a pep talk about it. Every.single.one. I'm usually out of the confessional in 5 minutes or less, and I was like 20 minutes in there with him being all peppy. There was a line behind me so I felt pretty bad for taking so long without a good reason. I'll know better next time, no pheros in "the box!"

    A Wake

    Another "nom nom so delicious" Weenie It's a wearable pumpkin spice latte! Only better, because to me the actual coffeehouse drink smells mostly like pie spice. The coffee in this is sooooo good. It smells just like real coffee, not "something that's supposed to smell like coffee."
  16. This didn't smell like actual animal crackers to me, which have a sort of bland sweet smell, but like oatmeal cookies drizzled with butterscotch. Come to find out, that's what it's supposed to smell like, so I get a zero in reading comprehension this week This one is so yummy that I'm craving oatmeal cookies now. I don't really get the cedar but that is one of those notes that can't be subtle for me to pick up on it. My parents live in a cedar house (not 100% cedar of course but you can smell it in the background, as it were, through the whole house) and even though I haven't visited in months, cedar is somehow designated as "pay no attention to me" in my brain, I have to look for it unless it punches me in the nose and I wasn't looking for it this time. Next time I'll pay closer attention. I love the scent so I hope I can find it

    Curiosities

    This is a really delicious caramel apple scent. I wish I got some of this smokiness some of you noticed because this is straight up foody on me. I do get more caramel/pecan out of it than anything else, Punky is heavier on the apple to my nose (so far) but I can tell there's apple in there. It is just well dressed
  18. May I have 1 bottle of the Sleep Tight Might rebrew? (And...uhhh...how do I add this to an order? Sorry, newbie )
  19. Trying to figure out how to get this one on my man. If I just ask him to try it, he'll ask me what it's called. I'll tell him. He'll give me a skeptical look and ask what it smells like. I'll say "manly pumpkin pie." He will vanish in a husband-shaped puff of smoke. (See, we've been married long enough to have entire conversations without even speaking ) So I'm thinking, maybe I can flick the little wand at him as he walks by? Screw on the top of the vial REALLY REALLY tight and then ask him to open it? "Accidentally" trip right next to him while walking around casually for no apparent reason with it open in my hand? Or alternately I could rename it "Sex God." That might be easiest, come to think of it.
  20. I feel the same way, I am determined to be SUPER DUPER CAREFUL from here on out. I went a little nuts during the sale and then the snowball just kept rolling!
  21. LOL same here!! Despite the name and creepily cute picture, Horny didn't come across as sexy to me. It was strongly honey in the beginning, in a way that did remind me of Sugared Honeycomb, but when that calmed down, I was left with warm, slightly honeyed musk laced with fresh juicy berries. Very pretty, but not something I perceived as being a sexy time scent. However my husband enthusiastically disagreed Which reminds me of a question I have, I'm not really sure what the advantage is of adding both Aja AND cops...if they both have the same effects, isn't it just like adding a whole bunch of cops, or is there some subtle distinction in what they're supposed to do that I'm not understanding? Or is it a scent related thing? I've never tried Aja before (on its own, or in any other blend) so I'm not sure what it smells like.

    Warm & Toasty

    This, exactly. I actually overbuy bananas once a month or so just so I can make banana bread, and that is exactly how I eat it- warm and buttered- and that is exactly what this smells like, only with nuts (I don't make mine with nuts in it). YUM!

    Punky

    After all the raves, I just had to try this one next! It smells absolutely nommable, there's definitely a good hit of juicy apple going on (though thanks to your reviews, I was prepared for it!) but all in all, it's well blended and the spices play nice for me, YAY! I LOVE the "mysterious resinous base," it really takes this one to another level. I love that I can smell so delicious while still smelling like a growed up lady
