  1. That is the harsh first lesson that we all learn here when we are new. I still remember when it happened to me with Garland and Lace V1 back in 2009. I was devastated. But I've got a small hoard. Just be vigilant on the Trading Post and you'll get lucky eventually. So now you know. If you fall in love, snatch it up quickly because it will sell out.

     

    It's not that I didn't know already, it's the budget....!! I stretched it so far for the sale it screamed! Fortunately it's just been replenished so I know not to wait another day!!

  2. Mara said it will stay sold out for now as it is hard to brew and that if she did rebrew it, it would come out significantly different each time due to the number of ingredients.

     

    :cry: But...but....OMG so few LPMP scents really work out for me and this one was amazing and on my FB list for my next order. I feel so disappointed.

    Gotta come out of hiding and stalk the trade threads, now!!

  3. I'm female, and I love how this smells on my skin. At first I also had that "reminds me of my grandpa" feeling, which felt warm and secure. I settled into it, and a few minutes later, SURPRISE! It went sweet and sarsaparilla on me, I couldn't believe it. I love this, and even with it going sweet like this, it still evokes feelings of strength and security. And now I'm wondering what a true sarsaparilla musk would smell like. :D

    My skin chemistry is just plain strange, I swear.

  4. Wendylynne, thank you, I know about scent lockets. What I want is my skinnnnn to reek of how Lick of Cream smells in the vial, ha :) I don't feel I would like a scent locket very much. What I plan to do, is order another vial if they are still available when I order next, and let it sit a few weeks. I hated Betrothal Potion both in the bottle and on my skin initially. I allowed for travel shock and waited, and tried a few times and still, yuck. Fast forward nearly 3 months later, and BAM, it's amazing! My first un-pheroed FB! So we will see, because LoC smells just too good to give up on just yet.

  5. I dilute TH to a 20% phero/ 80% alcohol spray, in small 10ml batches, and spritz my hair and neck. Anything more and I ghost or am a weepy mess. I pair it with a Clinique Happy Heart at work since I work with a bunch of nasty, mean-tempered men and am not trying to put out a sexy vibe! I will even add a dropper of alcohol to the bottle when it gets low and keep diluting it. I can definitely smell it, even when I dilute to near-homeopathic levels, and still get hits.

  6. I wasn't too sure I would like this scent, because I have (had!) some strong negative associations with sandalwood, but I was dyyying to try B2.2 so I bought a sample size. I converted it to spray in a 10ml bottle, and WOW. Just, wow. It's like being wrapped up in cashmere. Rich and warm, inviting and deep. This is the scent that drove me to make another order right way to take advantage of the sale and also stock up with a FB of Unisexy and a FB of B2.2.

     

    I work in an industrial environment and am the only female in a small, enclosed area full of men, and the man-drama has been running high the past week so I wore this to work (usually Treasured Hearts Heart is my go-to work phero), and, while I can't say I noticed any major effects, *i* felt happy and at ease and comfortable and not too sucked into the mire. I also have had 3 vivid dreams, all 3 working out some old emotional baggage that left me feeling relieved and happier in the morning.

     

    I'd say this definitely works as a unisex scent, I feel quite womanly wearing it, yet I would LOVE to smell this on a man!

  7. I love this scent and wish I hadn't waited so long to try it! It feels exactly like the name...soothing to a broken heart. I wish I knew better how to describe how it smells, I'm very body-oriented and I can say I feel very girly and Victorian and summery wearing this. I spritzed it before bedtime, a bit on my pillow, and I felt like I was slipping into a soft, magical coccoon surrounded by tiny sparkling fairies. The jasmine and lavender really hit me, feeling ethereal while the amber makes it feel nice and grounded. I didn't notice the frankincense much and I'm glad because I don't care for it and was a little wary of both frank and amber in the same blend. Although I can't say I could identify marigold, I do wonder if it's what makes this feel "sparkly", or if it's the Balm Bomb. Either way, this one is a WIN and I'm so happy I finally discovered a light floral from LPMP that doesn't turn to a cloying powdery mess on my skin. The other one that stays light and airy on me, is Star Power so I will review that in a bit, as well.

  8. I felt so excited about this scent, and now I just want to cry. In the bottle, it is amazing. It is so melty and creamy I want to just melt into the bottle.

    On my skin...it was so gross, so powdery and acrid, I couldn't get it off fast enough. Even after a thorough washing, I couldn't get the scent out of my nose and off my skin. It smells exactly the way Love is Love turns on my skin, although that one smells powdery in the vial so I don't know what is happening.

     

    However...I did drop this in my tart warmer and it is so warm and delicious! The contrast of the rich, thickness of the cream with the brightness of the cardamom (I have a lot of happy, sunny memories associated with cardamom) left me feeling like I was basking in a warm, dreamy, happy hug. I wish it smelled this way on my skin, although I'd probably want to just stay in bed and cuddle with myself all day if it did :)

  9. Well, it's not working itself out now, lol, we are at a hostile standoff. I don't think any pheros in the world are going to fix this so I'm just going to live with it until I get through my internship, or, she leaves, or, something. I'm pretty sure she has a personality disorder, which she hinted at a while back. Something "like" borderline, but not exactly, according to her. Yesterday it was unwrapped bloody rags on top of and spilling over the trash, then the 1am shower (shower is just on the other side of my headboard). Omg. I've lived with up to 8 other roomies at one time, 6 of them females, ONE bathroom for everyone, and never had the issues I've had with this one.

     

    She's getting snippy with the landlord, and has left dirty dishes in the dishwasher for going on 2 weeks now (none of the rest of us are using it). Landlord is kind of laid back, and, still, feeling disrespected is getting on his nerves so we'll see.

    Maybe some Balm Bomb in the tart warmer would be a good investment in the future, once I have an income again...soon...very soon...!

     

    I feel mostly disappointed in the fragrance/phero blends, nearly everything turns to powder or pungent or acrid on my skin. I imagine with Beautiful Dreamer the amber would amp up like crazy on my skin - I do a LOT better with musks and aquatics than anything else! So I will just wait until I can afford a FB.

  10. I would LOVE a bottle of Balm Bomb! It's not in the budget for the moment.

    Turns out, it is working itself out and my whole take on the situation was wrong.

    I wore TMI today and had a conversation with TG (home owner/roomie). We apparently have a real issue with little Miss Manipulative roomie, (bald face lies, stuff going missing), he is on to her and handling it to my satisfaction.

  11. Oh, he's responded really well to TMI before, it made him REALLY happy - like - pulling out all of his guitars/playing on the drum all night happy - so I'll keep that in mind.

    He's hiding in his man cave for now. He isn't doing anything major - just little snarks here and there that feel uncomfortable. I'm very sensitive so I can feel the vibe going on under the surface, and I'm pretty sure he's angry about something that didn't happen PLUS recent breakup with ex plus being unemployed plus whatever baggage there is that I don't know about.

    I sense it's for the 2 of them to work out and I just need to keep deflecting any comments made to me about the other roomies and diffuse a few pheromones here and there. I realize it sounds unsafe, and, I have a high tolerance for it, unfortunately. This is actually the best living situation I've been in for a LONG time so I'm going to just do my best to keep it together and move on quickly if things don't work themselves out.

     

    I appreciate the responses, thank you!

  12. Any of the pheros you mentioned, except TMI (IMO I would not use that around someone like that). of course you are asking an awful lot from the pheros. They really can't change a person. So I'm not sure what you expectations are. Are you hoping to get by day to day on a wing and a prayer? That is a bad idea, it does not sound like a safe situation.

    Maybe some phero use will make a few days easier but ultimately you need to get the heck out of there. Start working on that now so you can leave at a time of your own choosing

     

    Ha, yes, actually, I am on all accounts. School is out in 4 weeks, I don't know for sure if I am going to enroll for the summer just yet. I just want things to be as easy and comfortable as possible until I can afford to move. I don't want to change him, I just feel that fear is rearing it's head and those two don't like feeling anything and aren't dealing with it well.

     

    I also feel that there is a lesson for me to learn here because my former roommate situation a few years ago was similar. One man, several other female roomies, passive-aggressiveness abounding, him harboring stuff and not working things out, all of us (except for him!) in precarious financial situations (again, I have been extremely sick from IDK what for a few years now and just getting back on my feet).

  13. I bought TH for myself as a birthday gift in February, and I am noticing the hits more and more. I *love* this phero.

    It smells like fresh, dank sweat on me, so I have to use it sparingly and definitely use a cover. I love the smell, though...I like the scent of "human" as long as it isn't stagnant and rank, lol. I feel like my sweet spot is just a tiny dab on the inside of each wrist and at the top of my considerable cleavage. Much more than that, I ghost.

     

    Yesterday I wore it to our family Easter gathering and...wow. I am the black sheep of the family so I usually go, hang out with the kiddos, and stay to myself.

    Well...I was just sitting on the couch, playing Candy Crush...when the in-laws started LINING up to come over to me to give me hugs goodbye.

    I'm telling you, I've known these people for over 20 years...and NEVER have they sought me out for anything, much less to get a hug and say goodbye.

    Even my brother-in-law, who I tend to avoid because he's a straight up a-hole (he takes pride in this), came looking for me, and did this weird thing where he hugged me, got really present with me, and took and held my hand for a minute, looked at our hands, squeezed mine, and then left.

     

    After everyone left, I was thinking..."What just happened here??" and remembered the phero. Woot! Definitely 2 thumbs up for TH.

  14. Hi everyone! I discovered LPMP around the first of February, bought some Treasured Hearts as a birthday gift for myself, and have been hooked ever since! :)

     

    So, around that same time, 2 other female roommates and I all rented rooms from and moved in with a man I'll call T. He and I are nearly the same age (44), the the other 2 women are in their early 20's.

     

    T owns the house, and now that we've been here a couple of months, naturally (?) The Ugly is starting to come out. T is a raging alcoholic -although generally good-natured.

    What I feel bothered by, is him acting passive-aggressively towards our youngest roomie.

     

    This really sucks because initially we were having a great time and I felt incredibly comfortable and at ease. Now, not so much. He's withholding and hiding his anger and feeling guilty about it and it's coming out in controlling and mean-spirited ways.

    This feels so icky to me. She and I both are in a precarious financial situation, so up and moving isn't really an option.

     

    Everyone in the household is under stress....one roomie has been dealing with lupus, the other with fibro and a death in the family, T got laid off the day I met him (we live in TX, lots of oil industry layoffs to go around) and who knows what his demons are that are driving him to drink, I'm a full-time student just barely recovering from years of being sick from something I don't know what, I ran out of money before I could get a diagnosis.

     

    What would be a good phero to just help us all feel at ease and relaxed and able to work this stuff out, in the open with each other? I believe I know what's eating T about the other roomie, but really - who knows the mind of a man...for all I know she reminds him of someone from his past or something and they are working out their karma. So maybe pheros won't help, and, I want to see what y'all say anyway :)

     

     

    I have Treasured Hearts and Open Windows, I felt like TH might be the way to go.

    As far as scented, I have Flutterby/Heart & Soul, Ladybird/Levitation, TMI, Love is Love/Girl Girl.

    I have a tart warmer and unscented/scented tarts so I can add any of them to the warmer.
