SirenSong

I ordered all the female and unisex samplers, so if something sells out I will at least have a little of all. 😊

Did I really?  Clearly the whole "Queen of Workaholics" realization hadn't penetrated my brain at the time.

 

LOL I don’t know which thread or what year, but I’ve always been like when, when, when? I feel like you said something about you were happy with your stash because she would eventually stop making scents and you had many. We were probably talking about how well they age. 
 

I’m mean I have many bottles, but each is precious and unique. I’m starting to empty some bottles (actually I leave a small bit and just stash it away for safe keeping) since I discovered her in 2014.
 

I don’t use any other perfumes but hers and I really don’t want to!😄

After this collection, clearly I have nothing to worry about! 😄 The ideas just keep coming!  Of course, we keep asking.

For the record, Mara has never said anything about retiring.  This has all been speculation by other people.  So no one should be worried about it.  Hell, she's not gonna let ME retire either! 

Apologies for the retiring comment!
 

I just remember one time Luna saying that Mara wouldn’t be doing this forever…I’m always, always thinking ahead and I’m a little neurotic. 

Ooh. It’s times like these that I do not like being on the East Coast. Everything happens when I’m sleeping!

Oh, my...I hope enough was made for us to get through all the samplers before ordering full bottles.  Staying tuned for notes....  Can't wait to see the cost of a full bottle set!!  

Luna's right.  We aren't ready for this.  I like to maintain a spreadsheet of all the collections.  I also have a tab where I record every pheroed scent Mara has made based on pheromone.  It's for my own reference so I can go digging through samplers.  I have a separate list for the ones I actually buy.  🙂  There are 48 scents if I counted right!!!  I didn't realize that until I typed them all out.

Did I say earlier I was concerned about her retiring?  I did.

Wait....this isn't a last hurrah, is it?

 My guess is  Chamomile, blackberries and amber  

My guess was white florals like ATO Silver, but Cougar scents usually have something bright and sparkly like grapefruit. Maybe currant?

I apologize if someone has already mentioned these.  I can't stop Googling now.

Yazmina - jasmine?

Carica - papaya?

And, finally!!!  I get to smell Allumette!!!  And a violet TMI???  I love violet!

I'm excited about Snoozle!!!

And maybe I won't miss out on Leibchen now!

I just can't wait for the notes!!!!  

Argh....I work from home now and hardly ever leave the house.  Pheros are fun to try out on strangers and people other than family.  I'll be concentrating on the ones that give me selfies.  

Again I say ...  Snoozle!  😆  I just like that name!

Yes, but that's all I'm going to elaborate. 😉

 

There's no specific music-themed choices.  Argent = silver and Baby Blue refers to the ingredients.  Figue de Lune is sort of a play on words, as it is "Luna's Fig" since I came up the idea.

We googled Argent because when I asked my husband what it meant, he said "I know it's a band name."  😄 Ooh...what's silver smell like?  White florals?

So, Kanina means "rabbit" in Filipino.  The scent with Cuddle Bunny in it of course.  No clues there!  Unless it's like Egg, marshmallowy and cuddley, like a marshmallow Easter bunny?

I saw Argent and Baby Blue and immediately thought this would be music-themed. So, I thought Luna’s fragrance was a play on “Claire de Lune” and Bach’s “Toccata and Fugue”. Not that I know what that smells like! 🤷‍♀️

At least there’s some returning scents so it’s not toooooo overwhelming. 😊

@SirenSong we get to choose our sampler!  I’m guessing it will be the same number of trial vial choices to a sampler.  Is this correct @luna65?

But how you can pick?  I will want all the samplers! 😄

Ok, now I’m a little scared. How much will just a full sampler set be? 

I was worried that Mara was quitting!  I forgot all about Pherotine!

Oh my heart….

Ahhh…it’s midnight on the East Coast, so tomorrow. 🥱

Eastwood, that Holliday guess was quite impressive!!! 

 

We debuted the scents at the shop tonight, First Friday party, and this one sold the most of all of them! 

Make sure there’s enough for us!!! 😧

SCREEEEEECHHHH!!!  I just saw this responding to the stalking thread!  And I’ve been checking most every day. Now to go back and digest these new creations!

Ooo, this is giving me ideas. I always think (for obvious reasons) of Mara's 'Weenie collections in Halloween terms, but now I'm imagining a pumpkin that's more Thanksgiving-ish. And not just in a pumpkin pie way. More like pumpkin and cranberry. A really tart and red pumpkin! Would that smell good? Terrible? I have no idea! When I get back to my usual stash, I'll have to start layering things to experiment and try to find out.

I would love something with cranberry!  Your red pumpkin idea sounds good to me!  Or am I thinking about a fall pomegranate?

Hi, Kimi!  I love the perfume named after you!

I would love a rebrew of The Perfumed Whisker!  

Weenie wish!  My BRIGID’S AMBER from 2011 is empty now. I would like another amber/apple/patch blend with spice and the touch of lemon. 

SCARLET LEAF!  This one is from about 10 years ago!  I just used my last bit. 
 

Somewhere in this forum or maybe Facebook, Mara had remarked that someone smelled incredible and they told her they were wearing Scarlet Leaf and she hadn’t remembered that she made that one!
 

Pomegranate, cocoa absolute, patchouli…Time to bring this “Weenie” back!

Okay, I bought this one because Mara's on it, but the notes are perfect for summer and I love all the notes. But, I didn't have everyone else's experience because mine faded away (just like it did when I sampled it).

At the beginning, I get bright pineapple which then melded into pineapple/orchid.  Nice!  I was instantly reminded of my Jardin Tropique.  Then, I swear I got a boozy note that fluctuated between boozy and raspberry-like -- maybe I was reading too much into the label thinking of one of Mara's special drinkable potions she concocts.    Raspberry is iffy on me.  Later, my drydown was a very faint pineapple vanilla.  

Maybe I was cold, maybe I need to put more on, but it was not long-lasting on me.  I had hoped the vanilla would have taken over in the drydown.  It is a lovely, summery scent -- light, foody, sunny, tropical -- just didn't have staying power on me.

Well, these were worth the wait!!!  I’m one of your biggest ‘Weenies fans, but you have outdone yourself on this Summer collection!  Ordering my sampler....

Most excited about Ash!  Marshmallow!  Summer nights meet Autumn. Yippee!!!
 

And Rubylicious!

Thank you for identifying everyone in the descriptions.  Of course I’m buying Keyani......I have to!😁

Is Mara, errr, Potion Master on Keyani?  
 

Can’t wait for notes!

I love to hear Mara talk about her businesses and how her perfume business came about. She is inspiring!  The only thing that would have made this better is if there had been video. I would have loved to see all the things she was talking about in the store! ❤️
