phergineer

I've added empathy potion, Treasured hearts, Lace, Balm bomb, MLH to my collection, if any of those give results too.. Empathy Potion goddess, really? I might try it.

I usually wear the UN SWS and use a commercial scent as cover, or L'Eau D'Orchide (Thank you Adrostenol), but today I did not want to spray the UN since I will be flying out in a few hours and I would like to use Totem Panda for the check-in/security area.
So, right before my weekly one-on-one meeting with my manager I applied a couple of swipes on the back of my hands from my Totem: Beaver sample.
This smells like a walk in the woods on a humid fall day. I smell moss, wet fall leaves, damp earth and smoke.

As for the phero effects, my manager was supportive and even offered to meet with another team's manager to take something off my plate. The first half an hour was work related.. the next hour was him talking my ear off again, about non work related stuff... he even asked my opinion about what he and his fiance should do for New Year's!

Another huge hit for SWS, but I am a believer that the scent cover has a lot to do with it. I think Beaver works best for me so far.

My manager has been a lot more open and supportive ever since I started wearing SWS and Beaver for my meetings with him, and I feel a lot more confident and relaxed walking into these meetings.

Nice choices. Bring an OCCo (so you can always just add that on) & something sexy. What sexy type pheros do you have?

I got my OCCO Ambrosia packed!

 

In terms of sexual blends, I have UN trials of Sexspionage, Sexology, Cuddle Bunny (is that considered sexual?), LAM, and Blatant Invitation.

 

Knowing my SO, he's more likely to respond to the softer blends, so I'm betting on Sexology and Cuddle Bunny over Sexspionage and BI.

I remember someone (not sure, but maybe Dolly) mentioning the OW+cops combo, and that it worked really well...

Hope your fiance's father will get well soon!

Good point, I remember reading that too! The only one it probably won't work with is Balm Bomb...

I was wondering if any other members ha ve any input on this? What pheros have helped smooth the check-in/security check process?

Thanks!

Ok ladies/gents, a bit of a change of plans. Flying out to future in laws tomorrow, for the week. Fiancé' s father has some health issues so he needs to be close to his doctors.

Needless to say I will be out of my element, plus in a cold and humid climate, so i have to factor in diffusion. I have the UN trials.

here's what I will be trying: Open windows, Treasured Hearts, Empathy Potion and Balm Bomb.

The twist is that fiancé and I have our own hotel room (phiew...), so after hours I either wash everything off and switch to something more playful, or just add cops.

Thoughts?

I'm with you androstenol and banshee... it stays green on my skin. Totem Bat, Lamb, Beaver - they are all more perfumey on my skin. This is just green, fresh, woody, and im pretty sure the word to describe my reaction is "sharp". I wish I got a tiny bit of sweetness

I read the thread posted above, but it's still not clear to me - do people stay away from pheros when they get a cold, for example?

 

Also, if I have a drink or two while wearing pheros, is that going to push me towards OD land? If I'm in a social situation (for example, upcoming holidays), I would find it a bit difficult to justify refusing all alcohol, when my family and friends know I enjoy beer and wine once a week or so...

There are posts on the forum about where other veteran members have ordered from... I just placed an order with the company myself.

Thank you for your advice - used Everclear 190, in ratios 60/40, it worked beautifully!!!

He agreed to wear SWS - first time wearing unscented pheros for him

The interview went well, and he was calm and confident, but he doesn't believe the pheros have anything to do with it... of course. <_ one day...>

So now that I got my Unscented goodies ,
I am looking to convert some of them to spray - there is no way I will convince my sweetheart to use the dropper bottles... I was wondering how Everclear worked for those who have tried it? I can get it in the state I live in.

I was really scared of the dark honey in this one, but instead there is something else that is prominent on my skin. It's nothing like LP Black - it's not sweet and creamy, but musky and spicy. I almost don't get any honey at all. To my disappointment, I think I may be amping the patchuli, which I have not noticed in any other LP scent so far. There is something that smells like old lady clothes, so I assume it's the patch.

I'm not giving up on it yet, and I think I will try to layer it with something else before I made my decision on whether to go FB or not.

Also, since I'm about to be paid a visit by my monthly guest, my skin chemistry may be acting up too.

This was one of my back-up forum freebies (Thank you).

When wet, this is interestingly very green, fresh and clean on me. It reminds me almost of a male fragrance, a combination of Totem Lamb, Panda and Beaver.

 

After dry-down, it stays fresh, a tiny bit floral. I get no vanilla, no honeysuckle, nothing sweet - it is very odd. I like the scent, but I am not sure that on my skin it is congruent with Bang!, I'd rather pair it with SWS or OW. Of course, it may also be the travel shock. I think I'll have to give it another try in a week or so.

I personally love SWS for work, I work in stressful situations/confrontations and it works great for me, but I wasn't sure if he'd benefit for something different in an over-the-phone interview.

 

Thanks!

My fiance has an interview for a job with his company - almost like a promotion, in a sense - tomorrow, and he is very nervous about it.

Unfortunately this will all be over the phone, so not much in terms of effects on others... but what do you recommend he can wear for self effects?

I am hoping something that can keep him calm while instilling confidence.

I have SWS, Balm Bomb, Goal with Teddy BB, Wanted Man, Hunter Trapper, SS4M, MVP, and Pinnacle with Alpha Androstenol.

 

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, I can start a new one in the men's forum.

 

Thank you.

I'm wearing this today for the second time. I'm so lucky to have gotten it off the trade threads, I love it! Wish I could snag a bottle!!!

This reminds me of Yardley of London Lilly of the Valley. Such a soft spring flowery scent. I didn't think it would pair well with dominance, but it's perfect for the office.

I can't comment on the phero effects yet, but I would get this even if it were a virgin scent!
I think it's so different than most of the other LP scents I've tried!

I was wondering if anyone can share their experiences with Soulmate vs Perfect Match?

 

I noticed the ingredients in the blends are not the same, but the intent is supposed to be similar:

Soulmate:

Cyclopentasiloxane (D5), androstanone, epiandrosterone, alpha-androstenol, androstanone, androstenone, beta-androstadienol, dehydroepiandrosterone sodium sulfate.

 

Perfect Match:

Beta-Androstenol, Alpha-Androstenol, Androsterone, Epi-Androsterone, Androstadienone, DHEAS.

phergineer, I get mostly grapefruit when it's wet, but as it dries down, it does remind me a lot of Radium Girl.

Good to know, thank you for the review. I love grapefruit, and so does fiance (have only tried it in Cougar) but I think I need to stay away from coconut...

I guess I will wait until the next LFM boosted scent

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.

Another great review. Would you be able to compare this to Balm Bomb or Teddy BB, in any scented or unscented form? I am interested mostly in effects

I got a sample of Goal with Teddy BB from the trade forum - Lady V - and my fiance loves wearing it for bedtime. It's his signal to me that he wants cuddles. I can't tell much in terms of phero effects, because he just doesn't want to wear more than 2 swipes of the trial vial, but surprisingly enough I love it on him for cuddling! I tease him that it smells like smoky manly cookies

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.

Excellent report! Do you usually see chakras/aura colors on others?

I would love it if it had the same effect on me as it did on your daughter

How'd you know? (Ok, I know how ) Orchid and pink? and pineapple! Ah, too bad I didn't snag a bottle of the left-overs! Might have to ask fr my own PE!

adrostenol - after I posted my previous post, I had my staff meeting and right before it I applied some Totem: Beaver on the back of my hands as a refresher. I usually only wear the unscented which works great with L'eau D'orchide (Thank you!!! ) or with a commercial office friendly scent like Versace: Crystal. But the UN SWS by itself does not smell at all to me, so I could go without a cover too.

I keep my Totem: Beaver sample at my desk for refreshing purposes. As I said, I applied a few swipes before my staff meeting where my manager asked me to give a passdown for 5 minutes. I was able to be calm, act in charge and answer all questions.

I also made sure I sat right next to my manager. Keep in mind her hardly ever talks to me, asks my opinion, or gives me any tasks.

After the meeting, it was 6pm... everyone left the room, and he asked me a few more work related questions. We talked for 1.5 hours about the project/program I am leading, our customers, others teams, his wedding, my wedding, my engagement pics (which he loved), and he even wanted to know about my weight lifting shoes and power lifting training. At the end of it all, he said "Thank you for all your hard work on the X program". Let me tell you, I am still floored by this, and I have no doubt it was the SWS! He's never ever acted like this towards me, let alone give me recognition when I didn't even expect it. He is not one to give recognition even when it is supposed to be expressed.
I might have to keep Dominance away from him...

If you're engaged to him then he must have some great qualities! I've known and loved men who did stuff like this that hurt my feelings because they didn't want to hurt other people's feelings and they didn't realise how unpleasant the situation was for me. It sounds like maybe this is what is happening with your fiance. I knew it was their desire to please people and not some masterful campaign of malice because when I talked to them about it they were dumbstruck and mortified that they had caused me pain inadvertently. And I guess that's what some of us have been concerned about: that your fiance's response has seemed (as related second-hand via the boards) perhaps not as sensitive and supportive toward your comfort as we would hope. We just want to see you treated as wonderfully as you deserve. But the two of you are working it out and you'll get there, I'm sure.

 

I find Gotcha! to be an excellent social and the cops are gentle. I don't know the actual numbers of course but based on the smell, stated intention, and my own experience I feel totally safe wearing this out anywhere. If you want to feel more chatty might you try Topper over it. Not sure if you have that ATM but that's one to try if you do.

 

If she comes to your wedding just ignore her beyond basic courtesy. I'm not sure how big it's going to be but at every wedding I've attended the newlyweds were very busy. I think it would be pretty easy, even at a small wedding, to seat someone away from you and get by with just a friendly greeting and thanks for coming as your only interaction all day.

 

As vladmyra notes, Sexology is great for that bonding and cuddle side of things and of course the Est has its lovely lady magic, but the cops might not be right for you in social situations (YMMV). To get a similar feeling you might go for another Est and b-nol-heavy blend. Heart & Soul's first two ingredients are Est and b-nol, though of course there are other things in there, too. Empathy Potion is B-nol and then Est, though again there are other ingredients to consider that take things in a different direction.

Donsie - I cannot express how grateful I am for the support I've received on the forum. I am overwhelmed by everyone's response, really. I know you all mean well, and I feel blessed to have found LPMP and its members. It's like another family! So thank you, I did not mean to sound dismissive or ungrateful

 

Also, I appreciate your suggestions. I only tried Sexology III and the scent did not agree with me, but I have an unscented version coming in the order I placed last week. I am so new to this, I am a little scared to wear sexual blend in public!

 

I tried Levitation today - for the first time. It was in a fairly small setting, only 4 of us, in a dive/sports bar, and I already knew one of them pretty well. It was me and 3 males, coworkers. I can't say I noticed much openness on my side, but I could engage in conversation. They acted like guys and talked about gadgets and sports. Nothing out of the ordinary. I didn't feel out of place, that's for sure (other than the dive bar!), but as I said, it was a small setting. Plus, I think I can always strike up a conversation with nerdy guys more than I can with women...

I just tried it phegineer and it said there were 8 in stock.

Hmmm, must have been other members holding up the bottles!
