  1. LPO, Nola, Supernatural and One True Love if there's still any available by the next order. For pheromas I'm planning for DHEAS, Lace, Topper, and Perfect Match. I have some Gotcha on the way already, I've had such amazing hits couldn't wait and had to go FB for that! Aaand of course a November sampler. Which is why I'm working tonight... gotta support my LP habit.
  2. There is a customer service link on the USPS tracking page: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction_input If my packages don't arrive within a few days and there is no tracking info, I use it and like MAGIC, new tracking info appears and my package is often delivered within a few hours. Most recently it took 2 days after my request for it to arrive, it was a holiday weekend and the day after the holiday we didn't get ANY mail. USPS is suffering massive cutbacks and they are totally overwhelmed from what I can tell, so the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
  3. I am wearing this again tonight and am loving it even more. Tonight it smells more soft herbal lemony honey than tea. I just love it. It def isn't a fall scent for me but I'm going to go FB and look forward to a ripe bottle in the spring. The longer it's on, the lovelier it gets. It's a simple and beautiful fragrance, and I'm wondering now what straight Aja smells like. Adding it to my next order...!

    Infusion

    I'm getting the incense vibe, too. I'm guessing the red musk has a hint of nag champa, which is what reminds me of incense.The currant stands out most for me, and I am LOVING the fruity musk goodness. It's like sexy fruit soup for my skin. After some drydown time, the musk amps even more, it gets a little sweeter, deeper, and I get even more of the incense vibe. I LOVE this! I definitely want to try this with cops. I'm not a huge SS4W fan, but I feel this would go well with it, too. But oh...wait...something's gone weird and powdery? And it's all disappearing way too soon? I don't understand, the only things that have gone like this on my skin are vanillas and sugars. I'm confused. And very sad. I was totally going to stock up on this.
  5. This scent makes me want to get a boyfriend or at least cajole my currently drunk male roommate to wear this so I can slather him with it and maul him. I have only smelled earth in Totem: Bat and Punxatawney Immortality Elixir, and HATED it so I felt leery of this but it is So, So Good. The hay and the fern harmonize with the earth that makes it smell like it's in it's place, not THE ONLY NOTE I CAN SMELL like the others I've tried. I'm catching a tiny whiff of soap, it smells clean. After some drydown, it's all woodsy and clean and smells even more heavenly. I'm going to blend this with some B2.2 to spray my pillow tonight and seriously reconsider my 7-year single streak.
  6. When I first applied this, it was HOLY STORAX AND BENZOIN OMG MY SINUSES ARE SO CLEAR NOW!!! After a half hour, it was more apple/benzoin/dragon's blood and has settled nicely into my skin. I feel quite witchy and bewitching wearing this, and I get no hint of cops. I WISH I got more patch and amber, I will try layering it with a smidge of patch and see if it gives me that nice, thick, deep rounded feel I'm wanting.
  7. This is spot on honeyed lemon tea for me. The lemon and tea notes waft light and delicate, and being a southern gal, I felt a rush of familiarity and warm positive associations. Because of that it feels more summery to me than fall. I love how simple and satisfying this scent feels.
  8. In the vial, this smells divine, just as StacyK describes. On my skin, it turns to the smell of burned plastic. I wish I knew why my skin has such a hard time with LPMP stuff and how to make it better. (And yes, I know about scent lockets...I don't want one, I want it the scent on my skin!)
  9. Mara thank you thank you for such a beautiful sampler...the labels, the packing, the scents, everything. It's so nice to have a bit of witchy PNW magick to spread around down here in the south.
  10. Not to be an enabler but....it is available in the Etsy store...https://www.etsy.com/listing/230536320/crescendo-spray-w-topper-perfume-spray-1?ref=shop_home_active_3
  11. Hooray hooray! OMG it's so deep and delicious! I love it! I get everything in this. Smoky, wood, spicy blueberry musk, The spice dominates every so slightly. Warm and cozy, secure and sexy is the vibe I'm getting from this. So yummy! Love this. Oh, and I would LUUURRVVEEE to smell this on a man. I can see my face buried in a neck slathered with Blue Smoke.

    I'm feeling mixed feelings about this. I'm also getting warm vanilla sugar smoke, when I really wanted heavier smoke and musk. After a while the spice comes through but under it I can smell the sugar and vanilla going to powder on my skin. I was hoping for something darker and smokier going by the season and the name, since this is just getting more powdery by the second I'm going to put this in my "eventually will trade or gift" stash..
  13. Ohh, I'm so happy to hear about the blueberry, that would totally work for me and it's what I was hoping for! I'm waiting on pins and needles for my sampler to arrive, I can't wait to sniff for myself!
  14. Ok I am totally going to stock up on this. I wore this to schoolwork today (I work in the theater where I go to school) and SEVEN people, just out of the blue, complemented me on my hair. Four of them came up to stroke and pet it. Granted, I have gorgeous curly red hair, but seriously a couple of people leaned up against the box office window to get closer and it is WAYY out of the ordinary to get so many compliments from strangers, one after the other, at different times in different places. One of the actresses came up to me in the cafe, hugged me and told me she loves me...! I also got DIHL from someone I have the feels for, who walked across the lobby to just stand next to me. Oh, I just remembered I did put the tiniest dab of cops in my bosom, 10 hours ago. It was literally a dab so I don't know if that made that much difference but this is amazing. It's exactly what I've been wanting to experience with pheros! I'm getting a Gotcha! FB for my next order to play around with. I am a happy purrkitty tonight, meow!
  15. I had the same experience just this morning. I could smell the orchid in the vial, and for a brief moment after spritzing, then it's just tea, tea, tea for days. I haven't had luck with anything sugared, it all goes to powder so I'm going to put it aside and revisit it in a few months.
  16. OMG I got this in the sale and I'm drooling. It stays creamy on my skin without going to powder which I was afraid of because Lick of Cream and Ambrosia of Eros went straight to powder and I wanted to cry. Creamy cardamom. Cardamom is probably one of my favorite notes of all time and I get just a bite of the apple, enough to keep it in out of "chai" and firmly in "cider" territory without being all about the cider. I totally want to wear this with EoW when I'm on the prowl, and Cuddle Bunny for a cozy night at home. This scent feels inviting...come closer...nuzzle me...!
  17. In case anyone is interested, I wore this as oil today, and it stayed honey and amber all day and never really got to the bright orange blossom. It goes on way brighter in an alcohol spray than just the oil, so I will probably just decant most of this bottle because I love the throw of a spray and am not too worried about the amount of cops in this getting in my hair or on my clothes. I put it on and forgot about it for the most part this morning, and only in looking back did I realize that I got the DIHL and happy googly eyes from a classmate this morning, he's been kind of floating around on the periphery of my attention so this could be a Very Good Thing We shall see....
  18. Thank you for the suggestion StacyK! I got a trial of Totem Bat last night and it's the same thing, the earth note just sticks in my nose and hangs there and it's all I can smell, to the point of distraction. Although if I were going to one of the faerie festivals in Oregon, I would probably love it as is, I feel like I need to be in the forest to enjoy the earth note, ha. ☺
  19. This scent does feel cozy like being in a Kangaroo pouch. I love almond, and I get a hint of the raspberry and balsam. I just wish it were stronger. It seems to go on super sheer and disappear quickly. I have worn this a couple of nights when I've worked security at the gate of a big concert venue, on nights when we expected rough crowds because of the performer. I haven't had anyone give me a hard time even when we've had to do heavy searches (which suck - nobody likes to have to leave their selfie stick behind, lol).
  20. Oh, yummmmmliciousness! I snagged a bottle of this in the sale and I wish I had gotten more. I did not expect to love the honey so much! At first, all I could smell was lemongrass, honey, and cocoa butter. I felt...blech. I am not a fan of cocoa butter, and I did NOT like the way it interacted with the honey. It felt disjointed, all hard edges and weird. Fast forward a bit and my eyes are rolling back in my head. The cocoa butter stands way, way down and it all melds together on my skin so perfectly in harmony with it that it seems almost as if it's ME that is generating the smell. It's gone warm and powdery, and maybe it's the citrus that makes the powder work for me in this one, because anything else that's gone to powder is just hopelessly acrid. This is a perfect late-summer scent, which means I can still wear it for a while because there are frequently 80 and 90+ degree days up until late December in these parts. I feel this would go GREAT with Treasured Hearts, I'm going to try it out on Monday since I get to work with a prickly female director for most of the afternoon.
  21. Ohhh....I was just WAITING for an excuse to order a PE of an un-pheroed Sneaky Clean type scent...
  22. The good thing is, he was just acting like an ass for a minute, it's not who he is as a human being. He got with the department head, and mapped out a new curriculum right after I spoke with him, and emailed us with a plan of action. I get to work with him a lot and he's really just great. Another experience I will consider a "hit" is...I wore this to class the day before, and another prof sent the rest of the class to go work on scenic design, and sat down and played "programmer" for me which freed me up to totally focus on lighting design, and we worked knee-to-knee side-by-side for 2 hours. I felt like Gotcha helped me be just...relaxed. I am totally OMG in love with this prof, not in a "I want him for myself" kind of way, but in a "I adore who he is as a human being" kind of way, and I don't know, it just felt really, really good to be thisclose to him for a couple of hours. So, so good. I had his UNDIVIDED attention, which is rare. The creative flow felt freaking amazing and delicious and intimate, and I do credit Gotcha with facilitating the vibe.
  23. All I smell in this is earth, earth, earth. Any suggestions for layering to balance it out? Because I can't stand wearing it and it's a shame, I don't want to let it go to waste, I love Cougar too much.
  24. Oh, I love this, another surprise! I LOVE patchouli, my skin loves patchouli, I usually amp it like crazy. Yet..I don't even get the slightest hint of it. This scent *is* bright, I love how light the honey is and it's the first honey I've found that feels right for a light, daytime scent. At first it's all honey and apricot and amber. After about an hour it's more honey and amber, and then the rest of the day it's honey and orange blossom. I decided to wear it for the past couple of days with the intent of using the Gotcha for nudging my INNER masculine toward being more in harmony with the feminine and WOW, I'd say it worked. In one of my classes, my "artsy" prof walked out on our class, because we weren't coming up with The Perfect Creative Project. We are TECHS, taking a TECHNICAL CLASS, hellooo. Normally, I would have just let it slide, no big deal, c'est la vie. Not yesterday...noo.....it took me a minute to realize that HE REALLY JUST WALKED OUT ON THIS CLASS and I said HELL TO THE NO THIS IS NOT OK! I went hunting for him and interrupted him complaining to another prof about our class and pointed out his BS story, told him I felt upset and it could wait until he was done going to the bathroom (he was just outside the door about to go in). So I waited, and then when he was out we found a place to talk and I just laid it out for him, in a non-blaming way, I PAY FOR THIS CLASS AND IT IS NOT OKAY FOR YOU TO WALK OUT IT ISN'T OUR FAULT YOU HAVEN'T COME UP WITH A CURRICULUM AND YOU'RE MAD BECAUSE WE AREN'T DOING IT FOR YOU. It was actually a very good, productive and connecting conversation, and he ended up sending an email to the whole class apologizing for being an asshole. Really, he said he was being an asshole and he was sorry. I am usually SUPER agreeable, so I do feel the Gotcha helped me feel relaxed and assured enough to speak up. Maybe it *did* inspire my inner masculine to stand up for me At any rate, I love spritzing this before bed!
  25. Perfect, thank you so much! Fortunately I snagged a bottle of Honeyed LP RIGHT after I posted. After learning how to check, I saw the oil was sold out and I had to sit on my hands to resist snatching up one of the last bottles of spray. A girl's gotta pay rent....*sigh*...
