  1. ugh I have been smelling something pink/cotton-candy all day. reminscent of an LP scent of course i mean that in a very good way 😂 making me crave it
  2. i love that when I put on pheromones based in oil, i rub my arms together furiously. like im trying to "squish and activate" the molecules! 👏😄

  3. LOL i had to note this, even tho it's probably going to be short: but it's been so surprising to me all day. i didnt know that this is the molecule I was looking for! re: my older woman roommate. omg she is talking to me about all her day's details as she goes about it 😂 We can be on different wavelengths, so usually I dont want us to be around each other. Mind our spaces... boundaries. Well today I was out and about the house, but not particularly hustling or busy.. i just sat at the kitchen table. So I would have expected her to be annoyed by my constant presence. But that wasnt the case. Forget the friendly pheros. She just wants to feel like I'm doing something and am in charge, or something. at least, be in charge of my life, perhaps 😆 Definitely finally garnered the respect I deserve around here... I should just be left alone in most cases, but i suppose she doesnt respect the quiet types She commented on what I was eating a lot, trying to relate to me. And she even picked me up some caramel dipping at the store because she saw that I was dipping my apple slices in maple syrup (we just ran out earlier. and I had forgotten) I'm pulling this out a lot more from now on. Maybe it makes me seem more outgoing, and that's what she expects from interactions. She's not quite introverted herself, perhaps.
  4. last time I dabbed Dominance phero was in august 2018

  5. yeah, i prioritize selfies a little more than effects on other people, bc I've had ironic scenarios where the phero affected others beautifully and as intended, but affected me atrociously lol Just found out to not be a congruent vibe with my weaknesses/insecurities. for example, i dont need any more 'mystique' energy from La Femme Mystere. I'm already standoff-ish. but the phero blend actually still softens my projected energy a bit bc it has other Bonding molecules. But I just prefer to go for single-molecules then in that case, or other blends. for me, it's girl/girl, or swimming w sharks.
  6. GIRL. i is SADs that this phero blend is being replaced with something else hmm i might have to replace this with maybe Lacey? that's the closest vibe I get to girl/girl... This blend is less ditsy than Lacey, but still chatty - and not necessarily overly feminine? i just feel like a really fun (and social[ly appropriate) girl! perfect for chatting w other females for me. I can run a bit unapproachable in my sober life (resting b face), so I like the more femininizing blends. Popularity Potion + Est or pop + Lacey might also work for my purposes lol Oh! i forget to Report my experience w girl/girl 🤭😀 It wasnt supposed to be a great day. my fam was headed to the hospital w my dad to meet w his doctor and sign off beginning treatment plan. I usually test pheros on my grandma, bc she and I do not get along so close like family probably should... she was extra chatty on this one! chatting about small details that dont matter lol So that's cool And then turn around, my dad is being his asshole self again... I have to handle the communications at the hospital w all the doctors and nurses. I didnt even sweat it We got what we wanted, and I was totally cheery the entire time. so on to selfies: must be that I didnt think much about certain negative thoughts like how shitty my life is, or feeling ugly, so the day just went by with a breeze ✌ I did however come home and crash. I thought in the morning that I might have put too much on, but I've done a lot worse in the past and I just went heavy today.
  7. i'm a heavy introvert, so I think that I've learned to recognize "good" times as times afterwich I am not energetically drained. grandma and I visited the doctor's right after I put TH on. Waiting time was over 1.5 hours, and we got out of there after 2 hours total... somehow grandma and I kept our cool lol It really shouldn't have taken that long but all good
  8. thank you so much 😔 time heals all wounds... and something about "forgiven but never forgotten" shall apply. if only for me to learn lessons lol in an unrelated story, I came home to my roommates after work, to our older gal - whom I've literally never seen go out to eat in the entirety of the last full calendar year - actually asking and pushing for me and her to go out! She hadn't slept the night before, having worked an all-nighter, so I was concerned and suggested that she sleep instead. I'm not trying to go out these days either. On top of that, just minutes prior, she was profusely slipping complaints and frustration over finding new homes for her kittens... Some of her comments sounded like they were aimed at me for maybe not helping her with this (totally a twisted story where helping someone somehow ties me up. I just want to justify my not helping: They're hers and kyle's cats. Kyle requested them and she found them to bring them in. I was not part of that search and actually had months prior talked about bringing in one cat. ONE. But they didnt like the cat I found and moreso don't care for how I had searched for it. Mine was far away and maybe costed some money. Theirs was free. fast forward months later, I did take care of their 3 kittens when she left for the winter, since kyle didnt take care of the spay appointments nor paid for them! So when One didnt get spayed because I left for a few months, there now became a 5more-kittens problem) But anywho, I swiped SWS when she started to get kinda toxic and pushy, and next thing you know... she literally pushed for me and her to go out to eat on her treat. wtf? im scared.
  9. I decided to wear this on the 2nd day of Work where I was uncomfortable (first day was SWS). B2.2 kept the peace - especially for me (my soul is well) - and I got through the day! Even took my youngest brother to the playground afterward I'm sure he really loved my playful attitude I am in some troubling times and like I had said, back in March I could have used all the help to keep a clear mind on my goals in the midst of my enemies. It's showing Now exactly how helpful this could have been lol Every little thing to add up, to skew my mentality in my favor - like in a high stakes game. Sure would have been nice... even though I certainly need it now and it's helping!
  10. i am so grateful for these blends! thankful Mara or someone thought about these to offer in the marketplace so, lots have happened since 2018 when I bought my bottle of SWS. unfortunately, my sorry ass forgot that I had this, and I really needed this back in March of this year. I was in a sticky social situation at work. I could have used every help that I could have gotten but I have moved around some in these years, and forgot about these pheromones or where I had misplaced them (btw I need a case for these from now on. keep them upright, keep them from spilling) Never really needed pheros before either, as much as I did in March I've seen what pheros can do, and honestly with how bad things were I would have been happy with just pherobombing! if I can put people to sleep instead of letting them aggress freely, a no-change in my situation would have been a Win in my book. Getting back on my feet and having to face the situation again recently... I am so glad to have found my bottles. First day back, I used SWS, and honestly, I cant tell you how POSITIVE it is that nothing happened. I was already a wreck, having to work in the same place and with some of the same bystanders/enablers as I did in March. (I was abused and that's the final story I will conclude. I won't take the blame for someone else's aggressions 😠 People want you to think you're the reason they hurt you. so fucking weird... I was caught as well in a tight spot in my personal life, which they knew and timed their advances on me according to. I only realized this later on... hindsight is 20/20) anyway, SWS didnt just neutralize the situation in the present moment, I was actually kinda feeling happy and forgetting the trauma. Kinda like it lubricated my progress in healing and opening back up, lessening my fear of being productive again and to be creative. It also did exactly what it says - other people actually listened to me! shut up where otherwise had they said just one more goddamn thing, I would have decided to not be so neutral coming back. Again, I havent been wearing pheros for forever... So when I reached for B2.2 the next day bc I felt like I needed to contd the androstadienone, I know that it's doing all of this to help me
  11. i'm not sure if I've ever worn this before, so as far as I know, yesterday was my first time and if I hadnt felt any effects - I wasnt looking for any necessarily - I wouldnt be posting right now. half the time I'm not sure i feel anything anymore whether that be my vitamins or supplements lol. so I dont overthink pheros like I used to ~ It's either doing its thing, or doing nothing. no harm no foul (as long as I dont OD which I dont anymore bc I am not as crazy, impatient, or overexcited trying to force something. I've exerienced the ODs in different ways and I'm now a believer. I can calm down) also, I didnt think this phero would do much for me nor be something to use frequently, bc I already consider myself a tomboy. or really I'm dominant, and that's sorta masculine, so I've wanted more help throughout the years instead with estratetraenol. b2.2 has contrarily now shown me the difference between tomboyish and dominant/energetic/aggressive. so on to the review: Yesterday, I was meeting a new flight instructor at a new airport. So I threw this on to feel calm but still "up for sports". would be totally appropriate and wow it did something to me that had me wondering at the time if I was making this new type of introduction in my life - because of my new mindset recently? thinking "Wow, I've made a breakthrough after my last breakup. idk how i've learned this but I've changed somewhat, and would like to contd exploring this when I make new friendships" 😃 now I have a way to deal with my natal mars square pluto.. I felt like a tomboy yesterday but still rather feminine. I did not expect that from this phero - the feminine part. I felt yesterday like I wouldnt be considered a threat even if I wanted to engage and get excited in the conversation and start contributing or helping to direct it. sometimes my energy can be too much and you can tell that underneath my airy intellectualism, I am definitely doing my own thing and being independent. I'm excited to use this more, as it had worked and I need all the help I can get to contd to make this impression throughout my flight training and probably in general this summer.. I feel like this phero might be one that will deepen my friendly, pretty tomboy impression in relationships the more I wear it with someone.. I'm not sure I've been able to get the other pheros to work with me like that long-term in a progressive way, but I feel like this one will.
  12. awesome episode! I really enjoyed hearing Mara talk about her passions and the realities of entrepreneurship. the advice I learned is very difficult to do, but sage: dont go into debt starting a business. it's hard out there!
  13. I wore this to work and said to my coworker, "Babe, you're cute. But you're slow..." I should not have called him babe or cute lol! kay Vi.. reel it in XD

    Tangy Tart

    omgosh goodie! Thank ya I'm 'bout to go on a cherry spree here in a sec, er at least tart-ish. I'll see when I can buy this and 02.20 together.

    Tangy Tart

    Thing is, I don't have a current version or anything so I'll never know what it originally smelled like. But it's all good I would have never seen it available, thank you! What's the old site address? Maybe I should call or email in?

    Tangy Tart

    I am sure this has some to do with this being 8 years old, but I am surprised with how candied this smells at least from the ingredients. Tangy Tart definitely suits the name. I expected this to be on the level of freshness and brightness as Petite Baie ...maybe that's a little greener. Even like a lemon drop candy reminds me of this. ETA: 15min in and omg licorice and amber are starting to warm up. I had no idea Tangy Tart had some good solid bass notes. I almost smell sandalwood, but that's not listed in here. Whatever this smooth concoction is can put me under hypnosis and talk me into anything. Still working on getting me a cherry note fragrance, and so reached for this one since it's so candied and I am living for it 😁

    Shady Lady

    I do not like this wet. lol But after 30 min drydown I really love the ethereal and wishy airiness. If this floral has rose geranium, I'm inclined to believe that may be what I'm not fond of Never smelled ambergris before. Can't say I can point it out in this. Wish I could know. I'm surprised I couldnt smell spice for nearly an hour. Normally things like cinnamon are definitely there, right? I love the spice and brandy here crescending very gracefully and slowly, taking over the strict floral.
  18. I feel freaking exotic and regal in this. I was watching Prince of Egypt with my 6yr old brother and felt like a beautiful Egyptian woman living in her architecture, just general imagery in the movie. I asked him what he thought of the perfume. He said he liked it, smells like our dog lol! My home banned perfume after my father went through chemotherapy. He also has sensitivities from painting cars when he was younger. My mom is very sensitive to fragrance. If I put any on, they'd make it clear I was making them uncomfortable. But I remember applying Fairy Cake: Lavender years ago and they didn't mention it. I asked if they could smell it and they couldn't! That's another miracle from LPMP. Anywho, so I asked mom to smell Totem Lion on my wrist and she loved it. She was like, "this is the high quality stuff... Mall commercial perfumes only smell like alcohol and something else." And then she further guessed the perfume was dry grasses in the desert. Bingo! lots of gold tones in this scent.

    Delectable

    I think milk amps and is forefront in the beginning for me generally. Maybe amber combined with it too. Drydown 4 hours later leaves mainly orchid with maybe wisp of amber or vanilla. I learned I like orchid! I'm always on the lookout for new florals I like bc they're really distinct in perfume and really makes or breaks it in terms of what mood I'll be intending to wear.

    Fluffy

    lol! I was just about to write another review: "gahh I wish I could smell magnolia! I think I'm still scent blind to it, but I do smell a tiiiiinge of it at the end of the note. Hopefully it'll come back to me... The freshness of Fluffy is definitely there!! Which can't be attributed to any other note cept Magnolia?" This is my exact review from last year
  21. Yeah, I think so. There's something in this that has a "smoothing over" effect. It may be the androstanone? since the description states, "tempered to try to reduce feelings of jealousy that can arise when someone else is in the spotlight." It still definitely puts this beaming light on me, or makes me feel comfortable putting myself out there in social situations, but there's really not a 'Queen B' feeling for me in this. It's not egotistical in any way. If I'm being baited by meanies, I'm really not interested in engaging them. There are plenty of nicer interactions I am in the mood for while wearing this.
  22. I could credit my day to better mental health or just that I've built a positive life surrounding me, got good stuff going no matter what other negativity. But I don't want to miss crediting miss Popularity Potion in Laloo just in case she had something to do with my temperance of a high intensity bicker today, to which I did not bite back. Of course, that's all high school stuff - or should be - but sometimes it's hard. There's feelings, you know? In any case, I really didn't take anything personally and moved on to what I'm over the moon about: that I'm feeling clear, positive, centered and purposeful right now in my work and personal growth. There's nothing to report, which is absolute magick in this case. If this stuff can erase drama like peace to end all wars, I'm grateful. I'm not going to remember anything. like, "She said who? ... That never happened."
  23. Snow Leopard has been my go-to leather/androstenone scent. It's that feeling of a Rolls Royce (not that I've been in one lol), or luxe softness with a little whiplash at the end for Ice-queen effect. I've linked a trade thread you can get it from: here or here. I also love Seelie and have described it sort of as Ice Queenie.. another trade thread for it: here.
  24. oooph. the purposes of these potions look certain for sure! just at eye-glance there are a few I have dire needs for in my life.. I forgot that virility was very much a show-off 🤭 roosters are an apt fit! I'm so curious what it'll smell like Imma need dagger because there are a lot of jerks to cut. and 2020 is the year I'm seriously shedding skins and transforming. I foresee a lot of Snake wears. I wonder if I'll finally break out my SWS and pair it with the above.
  25. I had this for two years and did not try it out of the vial, for two reasons: I went through a phero-free 2018 as soon as New Year hit, for health reasons. I also went scent blind to marshmallow and ylang ylang from practically snortnig Sensual Harmony and somehow Fairy Cake Magnolia (doesn't have marshmallow, but maybe I feel similar about the two foodie notes). Cinnamon wasn't a note I was dying to try, because it's been done in commercial fragrance and I was in a hurry to meet new mysterious, exotic notes available at LPMP. But let's just say I have a feeling this is going to be my go-to this winter.. I have been missing out! and I'm so happy I saved this (I never throw out scents untried anyway). Warm and homey but light and non-cloying, feels social like the phero blend! I'm so ready to get in on this classic.
