  1. I've found that one thing which makes me look totally crazy..

    My roommate says she watched me from across the room put Zakura on, take a big whiff, then sigh and totally relax like a junkie. Now she's afraid to get hooked on LPMP ;)

     

    This is my first day back from a 3-month pheromone break, and I definitely feel the jitteriness! It was teetering on a caffeine fix, but I was still in control, so all good :thumb_up11:I felt pretty professional in Zakura. Sweet - strictly from the floral Cherry Blossom - but queen~like from Myrrh.

     

    I love any floral or feminine blend I can wear Cedar in, too! It's such a masculine note that when added subtly, it gets that protective vibe out there like a Mama bear behind her cub. I feel strong and powerful without being overt. Sweetgrass turns out to be a fantastic add to Cherry Blossoms, providing green backdrop to soft and beautiful, pink flowers.

  2. This smells like a newly opened package of animal crackers to me, which I love! I spilled more than I expected out of the trial vial and I'm not complaining. I love how much more the graham cracker comes out to balance the lemon because I'm rarely in the mood for strong orange~lemon. Butterscream Lemon is perfect, unique against the other gourmet scents since I'm more often in the mood for a snack than straight up dessert or bakery (I don't frequently feel I've earned sweets until I've completed some grand project for the week). This will be a wonderful pickmeup.

     

    Besides, this brings back memories of working with kids or being a kid eagerly awaiting snacks being passed out during elementary school. This energizes me. FB without the calories, plz!

  3. I'm really loving the balance between all notes. I don't feel any are too strong or easily distinguishable and sometimes I really just want berries, but not BERRIES. This is called coherence :D Sometimes I just feel kind of dark, kind of lonely, like whenever I have to walk in the cold by myself but I have dessert with me which will warm me up ^_^

  4. Oh lord, this is good!!! Totally unisex!!! Super silky and well blended with all my fave notes. Go ahead and delude yourself that you are buying it for him. My bet is you will keep it for yourself. Ask me how I know.

     

    :001_302: I am thinking the same thing! I'd love this on a guy, but I love it on myself just as much. I'm a huge fan of oak and this fragrance doesn't overdo it on the spice.

    Sandalwood and Vanilla do fabulous in rounding the sharper notes out.

    Smoke is that 'extra' whenever I feel like sending a message, or just a touch of badass.

     

    love.

    Hi Stacy!

    I think it was just the lack of protein, but I will "layer" it more gently to start next time for sure.

    I'm sorry but I want to chime in and side with StacyK on this one. What you described seems very similar to ODing on me. Go with your gut. It's not a regular feeling you get, and I've plenty of times doubted something was due to pheros until a repeat episode would happen (usually for me repeat episodes are even worse, something like accelerated immune response).

     

    Sometimes we want to like a phero or wish we could handle a certain dosage, so we rationalize.

  6. I shall miss my sample when it's gone... I just received this as a freebie. This is exactly the aquatic scent I have been looking for! Most have either been too lotus-y (sharp), green, or masculine, or too emphatic on a single note for me to last a full bottle (I'll get 1/4 of the way through). Totem: Elephant captures the exotic oasis scent I have been feeling in the dark for. Reading the notes, I wouldn't have thought aquatic, but now I remember that elephants like to play in the water and drink through their trunks :D

     

    There's a wonderful balance with the berries, grapefruit, and tea to provide feminine wear to this. I like niche fragrances and more unisex notes like Sandalwood, so Totem Elephant including an equal touch of sweetness meets my expectations.

     

    If bottles were still available, this would be my go-to scent everyday to work. I'm noticing I like a lot of Mara's 'African scenery' scents. She does so well with the exotic notes and sophisticated balances! I'm really immersed in the experience.

     

    I can tell I'd make good use of a full bottle whenever I keep opening my sample to sniff, and whenever my sample is gone within weeks.

  7. It's all TMI from me which makes replying difficult - I will lay it out there anyways as I can always edit it out later.

     

    Let's see ... some time ago, my relationship with my DH who was not DH at the time, just Mr very long term living together relationship that was coming to an end I presume, from too many outside influences and major life stress to where we barely spoke. There was that one night I awoke to him telling me that he didn't want to be in our relationship anymore. I pretended I had not woken up and that he had never uttered those words. Life was too complicated to just move out at the moment, and I was positive he had an outside influence of the suddenly single BFF male variety and my disdain did not help matters. The thing about phero's, as I am sure you already have read, is that they cannot make a person love you if they do not. They cannot make a person want you sexually, if there isn't already something there or the possibility of there being something, right? So as a last ditch effort, I tried phero's as I was sure we weren't really over, or had hoped that they would help uncover if there was still something between us and if it was worth saving. One night, his back being in terrible pain, I offered to massage him even if just to relax him which he scoffed at. I told him straight out the regardless of the way things were (at the time) that I loved him and his pain was the least I could help with. I added a few drops of PM, as it was one of the samples I had received and did my best to ease the tension in his sore back since I was finally in proximity to him and it helped me, too. It opened the door, to soften us to each other because the love was still there. I couldn't just wear the phero, I had to put effort into it. That was some time ago ... we have since married. Now, PM didn't outright save my relationship, but I truly believe it helped us with actual effort thrown in at least, on my part.

     

    I also wear TH too much, actually, but it's a good one to wear around my mother. Makes her less, snarky.

     

     

     

     

    Oh my goodness, lavidacabo, that's an incredible story! So many couples would love that last chance at flat-out honest communication. Sometimes I think of beta-androstenol as that "open door."

    Other times, since it pushes the truth out quite quickly, it can also show you that open door as your way out :o

  8. I didn't get a unisex feel to Totem: Lion at all :S I love this! This totally matched what I imagine African deserts to smell like. I do get this regal sense of calm, assured, control, like lions surveying their pride and territory, which makes me want to pair it with SWS pheromone blend. I get more of the Sandalwood, Musk, definitely Saffron, and from what I researched on KARU KAROUNDE, I think I can vaguely pick it out as an amazing bass note. It's earthier and deeper than Musk in the 'dirty' department. It's the special ingredient in this perfume really tying this blend together as the African environment.

     

    Neroli and Thistle make this wearable as feminine, to me. It re-assures this blend as unisex, also giving a clean and refreshing feel to the dry and hot environment. And I'm glad there's not much Cedar amping on me, just a touch to ground me with its woody aroma. I always like Cedar, just not more than a wisp. I don't want to easily pick it out in my perfumes.

     

    I think Totem Lion is a masterpiece. Smells subtly expensive and certainly that it will do what I need it to in the luxury department.

  9. I tested Girl/Girl for the first time last night. I only had an hour or two maximum with it before I washed it off because I realized my goal was to cut back on pheromone usage as it taxes on my immune system. I get sick easier when I wear it frequently, and I've just been getting over a cold and laryngitis...


    In retrospect, after jumping back on to pheromones 2 days ago with my usual dose of 4 sprays Perfect Match, I have a sore throat again. I think I'll have to wait a long time before getting to wear any which is proving difficult. It's an actual addiction for me now :( I'll try for 55 days. I need a real reset.


    I wore this out to crawfish dinner with my partner with the funny idea that since he's so much more of a fashionista than I am, is generally neater/cleaner than I am, more design-oriented, likes shopping for clothes and makeup more than I do, and pays more attention to instagram and trends than I do, he might enjoy a more girly/bff side to me.

    The funny thing is: I think this opened up his snarky side wider than it made me act girly


    Selfies were still present, though :) I paid more attention to the waitresses, what they were wearing, their moods, and generally more positive thoughts relating to them, but apparently I'm not a girly-girl. Girl/Girl revealed my highest valley-girl potential to be below-average lol

    It did, however, definitely diminish my usually more direct behavior. The sad thing is I don't feel that I evolve with pheromone blends, so Girl/Girl's performance tonight is probably how it's always going to be for me from now on. It's not like I learn to handle blends better as I try them or change how I react to them. The only molecule I've had minutely diverse results with is beta-androstenol.


    My partner showed me this 'best friend' side to him, chatting with me as his equal, not as as my mentor. He wasn't as romantic, in fact was a bit more fast-paced, fun-seeking. If I'm ever in creative-project mode, I'm going to wear this I didn't feel a rush of energy, as if DHEAS could be the first ingredient, simply more possibility-oriented. We both appeared pretty centered, but warm enough to think more on bonding. This blend is kind of mental for me, I guess lol

  10.  

    Oh, I love this!! I kept using PM for awhile and then went more with the LFN. My history with TG is interesting and I just don't feel like I should post in too many details on the publicly viewable threads, but I am still on the fence as to which one works best for us. I think it just depends on the situation. I wish I could lay it all out there and get an opinion...lol. But nonetheless, I still think LFN and PM are my top two. Sadly, I can't get anymore LFN right now so I hoarded some LFM to see if I can get the same touchy feely results I got from him with LFN. But I will say, when I wear PM with him AND PheroGirl...he really just can't seem to stay away. :D

    Glad you have multiple blends working for you two ? If you have anything with Dominance potion, then add a dab of cops over LFM, that should get you similar results, I think.

     

    You and I are Honey Ho sisters ?

  11. Perfect Match has always been a hit for me with others. It's usually selfies I have to watch out for. Sometimes I'm emotional, sad or bothered, and the beta-androstenol will highlight that big time. This is just to say it's powerful, because when I'm having a good time, boosted on beta-androstenol I'll be having a great time.

     

    I don't use Perfect Match as frequently because of this. Pheromone molelcules each have their time and place, and I've learned this lesson very well lol The last time I used PM was probably on a hiking trip with my partner (who wasn't yet) in October 2017. Even then was testing the line as we weren't close, so feeling pushed by beta-androstenol to open up while I was still being cautious was extra effort.

     

    This brings me to note the contrasting experience I had with PM last night while staying in with my partner. I was feeling more at home than ever :D In fact, after I figured the effects was worn off after 5 hours, I contemplated putting on more because Perfect Match was working so well for me. The great bonus is I know for a fact Perfect Match was working as well - if not better - for him because who doesn't like feeling comfortable and cozy like you've known someone your whole life and can trust them unconditionally? Usually on this blend, I can tell when someone isn't going to jive with my inner personality, but according to yesterday, I think I found my Perfect Match :angelhug:

  12. My partner didn't have a chance to wear SWS in a conversation with his boss, but he did have meetings with his team and various tasks he wanted to get done that day. He claims "it takes a lot of anything to affect me," but his report to me after work says otherwise :001_302:

     

    He was more productive and in a groove than usual, let small errors roll off his back, and just kept his day moving. While he was listing to me the number of projects he completed, I had to keep back a chuckle and from asking, "you really don't think SWS affected you at all?" :smiley-laughing024:

    I'm glad it's so subtle. SWS is a winner :hi5:

  13. My first time hookah smoking was of blueberry tobacco. Thus, this scent has positive associations for me. I love Vampire Bunny. Every note in here is a win. Oak Moss is probably the 'cuddle' factor. FB

     

    ETA: I have some residuals of Vampire Bunny on my sweater and I cannot get over how pretty and feminine this is. I'd think Tobacco would make this gruff but all it reminds me of is clean nighttime relaxing. I think it's because the blueberries is fresh, like opening a new pack of blueberry tobacco. Blueberry almost makes this fae-like, magical. I think it's also Maple + Blueberry together that makes this an ingenious combination. Oak is also a favorable note of mine.

     

    This is my first experience with Cuddle Bunny pheromone blend and it's definitely palpable! It puts me in the perfect frame of mind for intimacy.

  14. The label art and title is totally spot on, as usual lol I'm impressed with all I need to know from the color palette, brush strokes, and the flowers + fruit basket.

    Wispy, barely there, and a haunting ambiance is perfect for the afterlife to reside in. I love scents which smell like "afterthoughts" where you're not sure you really smelled what you did

     

    I'm beginning to learn I'm not a huge fan of Frankincense, however. It has to really be 'barely there' in order to support the other notes and not take center stage at anytime on me. I'd rather have it in perfume than not, just not perceptibly.

  15. My partner is willing to try it! :o I'm anticipating his experience... I've never tried this pheromone blend before.

     

    I didn't sell it too hard. He's a "see it to believe it" kind of person, which is great because I know LPMP always delivers.

     

    Since we work in the same space, I wonder if I'll respond to SWS the same ?

  16. My partner is surviving a lot of nuisance behavior from his new boss to the point himself and his counterparts have a pact to leave the company together if the situation gets anymore ridiculous. His future plans with the company have also changed due to the installment of this new boss, so this is quite the shift if he quits this company he's been with for nearly 2 decades. I work near his division and would feel the impact if he left.

     

     

     

    I have told a few friends about my pheromone use, but I'm too shy to show him SWS. His boss is arriving tomorrow. I have this unscented product in oil, never opened. I wouldn't necessarily bank on SWS to be a pivot point, but I've experienced pheromones making an impact if the opportunity is just right. What do you guys think?

  17. That’s awesome Ivy! What other pheros have you used with him? Did you use them alongside PG? I’ve gotten to the point where I always want to wear PG around my T G no matter what else I’m wearing.

     

    I've used Perfect Match, Gotcha, La Femme Mystere, and Popularity Potion.

    pop potion doesn't draw him in so much, though. It feels platonic with him.

     

     

    Awww! So sweet!

     

    Thanks!

  18. I don't feel like pheromones would help me as much in established relationships, but for first impressions, it does set the tone for my next plans with that person or group - and in very drastic ways. My life course has changed because of my pheromone use and what relationships they helped me explore. Sometimes all I need is that small opening in a person's interest and then I can take the initiative the rest of the way. I've been looking to open my mind to very different life perspectives, so I'm not resistant to phero's influence on my own behavior, either.

     

    My current relationship most likely started because 1.5 years ago I was wearing cops and one of the following blends: LFM/Gotcha!/MegaWatt to an apartment showing. I found out just last weekend the landlord (who is now my partner) found me particularly striking and could not resist asking me out, which I remember him doing but I was too shy to take him up on it. I simply wanted an edge over the other potential renters. He's had to exert a lot of self-control - he tells me - ever since then to not cross boundaries, but I know he's shown me more favor and communication than he has with our roommates, and when I was ready to get closer, I simply had to re-apply cops and he was sure to text back within 24 hours with some new idea to talk about haha

     

    It's all been up-wind for us since that beginning.

    When we became more personal, I busted out Perfect Match so that I could lubricate the deepening process, which I feel really helped me understand him better. Communication is so important these days, and I've learned to be more forthright as a lesson in life from beta-androstenol. Without a few tidbits of information extracted via beta-androstenol, I don't know if we would be any degree as bonded and close as we are now. A little goes a long way in many areas of life :)

  19. I finally had the pleasure of wearing this with a partner :D With the help of the holiday spirit, LPMP's pheromones, and plain old love, I've landed my TG ^_^

     

    He thinks Phero Girl smells like a candle on me, but tells me it's a really good thing. He likes it, and he tries to lick my forearm :Emoticons04263: This is perfect because I love Phero Girl and it would break my heart if he'd prefer I didn't wear it around him. But no, he's just as crazy about it as I am.

  20. I'm hitting my TG pretty hard with cops by wearing it almost everyday I ride with him to/from work. I'm ready to take this friendship to the next level.

    It's having the desired effect of guaranteeing he texts me afterward lol And our conversations in-person are never boring :) He shares what's on his mind
