  1. Awe shucks, thank you PM, I think I learned that from someone who was a Girl Scout leader many, many moons ago. They work so well and it gets rid of three things that would normally be disposed of.
  2. I decided to rule out H&S, realizing I'll be close to that emotional time of the month. Last time I wore it within a week of the dot I ended up crying for hours. I'm leaning toward TH since I'm packing topper. Flying out for 8 days with only a small backpack so I have to minimize my goods. Though I've been reading the gotcha thread and haven't really used that in awhile, perhaps that's a good option for most bang for my buck/space. Planning on romantic time, social time and dinner with a bristly lady.
  3. I scrape mine out as well, I have an old tea pot I collect leftover wax in. I save cardboard egg containers and dryer lint, stuff the egg holes with the lint, and pour the heated wax from the tea pot over them. Break two eggs off and you have a good fire starter for camp, fireplace or woodstove. The nice thing about soy is that hot soapy water washes the residue away easily.
  4. Let's say you have all 3 of these little miracles but can only pack one, which would you bring? Loving the idea of being taken care of, definately need the bitch tamer (TH) and a happy vibe. So that's 2 for the boys and one for the ladies, in my universe. I am packing topper so that can be taken into consideration. Man I hate packing/ deciding which LP's to take.
  5. This fella was very knowledgable, charismatic, and connected. He often had visiting priests and well known authors around. Though he definitly tried to sleep with every attractive woman he could and had the harem vibe about him. It was one of the reasons I stopped going there, "no" wasn't part of his incoming vocabulary and it made things really uncomfortable. Sad to say I have yet to meet a man in this position/ type of environment that wasn't a bit shady, wish I could say otherwise.
  6. Welcome aboard! LP Black is amazing
  7. This seems very complex to me, I get a lot of different scent feelings from this one. It's soft, feminine, also earthy, sweet at times, I sometimes forget what I'm wearing because I'll catch the scent and it somehow bounces around different notes for me. It also really sticks, it seems to have transferred from skin to everything I've worn. Perhaps it's the Aja, I've now realized my jacket collar is a happy blend of LP pumpkin and Oshun, both seem to really stick to my clothing even though they were applied to skin, with plenty of time to dry. 20 yrs ago I spent a lot of time, over a few years in a botanica, the owner a priest of Santeria. He had tons of oils in his shop and many dedicated to Orishas. He offered classes and held open celebrations as well as more intimate ceremonies/ services. I attended a ceremony where they were determining which Orisha ruled over someone's head. When Oshun was called, there I was somehow transported to the back of the room standing in a line with all the fellas who already knew their ruling Orisha, Chango. All of us unable to stand still, trying not to start pacing around the room, palms sweaty. They didn't seem surprised to see me with them. Though I no longer practice Santaria I'm grateful for the knowledge and experiences I had during that time and have felt a connection to these two (3) Orishas since then. I really feel like this fragrance is spot on and I love it. It doesn't hurt that I also feel very beautiful and goddess like when wearing it.
  8. Wearing this today and still enjoying it, I'm so glad I went FB. I'm considering another bottle and perhaps a virgin bottle as well. I like it from start to finish, it's pretty strong at first but the soft dry down after a few hours is amazing. And this is nothing like what I would consider a me fragrance. I'm feeling the need to experiment with BI with other fragrances for comparison. I've now realized when I wear this blend I have a serious case of the " I feel pretties". With no intention of leaving the house today I showered and pulled this out. Normally I wouldn't bother with makeup or hair on such a day but it seemed nessessary after applying this fragrance, one thing led to another. So is it the fragrance or the phero, or the combo? Any other ladies have a similar reaction?
  9. Is there another bottle of Oshun and Ogun available? If so I would like to reserve one, thank you.
  10. Thanks so much, that was nice clear info. Perhaps I was a little over cautious about wearing a blend containing A1. It seems PM or LFM would be a safer trial than BB or teddyBB due to the order of ingredients. Honestly he could use a little sedation in some ways. Reading this it may explain my own lovey reaction to BB, calm, but all in if there's a chance, and I have definitly experienced some frustration when denied wearing blends containing A1. ( so much to remember, and ponder ) I think I'll give LFM a try, nothing a hot shower and a new day won't fix, I hope. I know people often respond to what you project and I f LFM helps me feel great on a not so great day it seems a worthwhile risk, at least once. There is also the chance it could be a great hit. Thank you, I somehow totally missed the bit about repeated exposure.
  11. I have to say we are on the same page with chattiness, I can handle it, but not during and certainly not before coffee. Also have some issues with too much yadda yadda yada at the end of the night, when I'm focused on something else, well, you know. Silence is sometimes the most amazing thing a partner can give you. For me, I always feel big hearted, I care about the situation and feelings of people I don't even particularly like. It's one of my hardest life lessons, to tune out and not sacrifice myself.. That being said, is why I have never worn anything containing A-1 around the BF. I must have missed the part about prolonged or repeated exposure. I hate to sound selfish but,...sometimes, it's hard, no matter how much love and compassion there is within me, depression is a hard animal. My needs are not always met, that is my curse. It's not always easy to recognize that depression is not personal, toward you, as a partner or caregiver. There are days when I'm exhausted from being supportive, optimistic, that ray of sunshine someone else relies on. There are days where a little LFM might help me, feel good about me, or a little BB might help me along with the day. I've just been too afraid to ulitlize them. I love LFM, for me, that's what I've learned. I feel confident, pretty, a bit assertive, which is a little unnatural, but not bitchy, which I have experienced with DOM and Leather. I love DOM when I'm alone and conquering the world, not so good when around others. Perhaps it worth the risk to try it on one of those days where I'm not feeling so strong. I think I'll order just DHEAS, to try with it first, see if it can help keep things in the happy zone. Thanks so much for sharing your experiments.
  12. LFM was one of the first things I ordered a couple years ago but then I set it aside after reading that A-1 shouldn't be worn around men who suffer from depression. I aquired a bottle of LP rouge and have been wearing that, I'm so in love with it, and I've realized the selfies from LFM really make me love myself while wearing it. I feel really good, can catch myself in the mirror on the most disheveled of days and think, "hey, I look good, I feel pretty today". I have the UN as well that I've worn to doctor appointments where fragrance is a no-no, since I seem to have trouble getting what I feel is proper attention . Perhaps it's just me but the medical care in my area feels like you're in a cattle shoot. Get um in, roll em out, rawhide! (I'm actually making some progress with getting referrals and appointments lately)I don't have image issues but who couldn't use a dose of the "I feel pretties" on occasion? And dare I say that I sometimes feel a bit more focused to get shit done while wearing this phero? I have also noticed that when wearing it out and about I get the distant attention, as though people perceive me in that "you can look, but don't touch/ engage" way. Sometimes I rather enjoy that, I generally don't like to be bothered but I'm curious about adding DHEAS when I do want to be approachable and social. That sounds like a fun combo, I don't have DHEAS but I do have topper, does anyone think that will produce a similar result? LFM has really grown on me, it seems to produce the best and most consistent selfies for me. It just makes me sad that I live in fear of trying to wear it around my BF who has serious struggles with depression. I love balm balm and PM as well, but again have not tried wearing them when we are together. I wonder if adding DHEAS could make these more wearable. Or less likely to cause a negative reaction.
  13. LP Black to date is the fragrance I get the most compliments on. From airline attendants who can't stop talking about whoever smells like food, or tea, and that it's making them hungry to random strangers making comments I can simply hear. It always seems to make an impression. I do get the " is someone burning incense?" comment as well. But the reactions have never seemed to be negative. If I had to choose one LP I'm not sure if it would be black or black cat mojo, perhaps black, my rebrew of BCM is just a tad too sweet to win. I love that black is very grown up yet mysterious, and not too grown up, a woman in her prime who knows what she wants.
  14. I am loving this varient, it sweet and creamy and stays pumpkin on me all day. I love that it's not so much pumpkin spice that it screams fall, and can definately see myself wearing this year round. I love aja but can't actually pick that component out on my skin. This morning I pulled out a jacket that I wore to a Halloween party and the collar still smells of LP pumpkin, I had so many compliments that night.
  15. I'll get my order together tomorrow, I was away for the holiday but still want Oshun & Ogun, thanks
  16. Wearing PM today almost instantly turned me into a silly, giggly imp, pestering the crap out of my husband and laughing about it. He likes BCM 2.0 because it smells like amaretto cookies to him, but he is also aware of my LP addiction. 10 minutes into being completely silly and somewhat annoying I imagine, he says " I think you phero bombed yourself" to which I stated " not all of the fragrances I wear are pheroed". Truth, the fragrance is unleaded, also truth, wearing PM with it, he totally called me out on it. It's still been a fun and upbeat afternoon and now I just want to cuddle in front of the fire. I think this is the first really apparent selfie reaction I've had with PM. I hadn't expected to be quite so giddy, that hasn't happened before.
  17. I would like to reserve a bottle of Oshun and Ogun please
  18. Has anyone ever experienced a man reacting negatively to cops? Displaying the complete opposite reaction you would wear them for? And I'm speaking of alone time, not public spaces.
  19. I held the door going into the gas station this morning for the man behind me, he then got in line after me, it must have been just enough for him to experience the cloud of LP rouge. He pulled up to the pump next to me and said "excuse me, sorry I didn't mean to startle you but are you married?" After I amswered yes he then says " you are beautiful, I had to ask. He's a lucky man. I hope he treats you well. " I've been sick for two weeks, I feel like crap, I'm unshowered, and look a mess. A stranger just made my day.
  20. I ordered a rebrew of this months go and I'm loving this version but I guess a couple of months has made it more likable for the hubby. He initially wasn't too impressed with it, or just non reactive. This weekend he was all over it and kept saying that I smelled like amaretto cookies. He couldn't comment enough, being trapped in a car for 10 hrs actually became a little annoying. I need to make the time to do a side by side comparison for a day of the original and rebrew and make notes. I love them both though.
  21. I thought I was in a no buy zone but just ordered LP pumpkin, tattooed lady, distant calliope ( unsniffed ) and samples of liquid shadow, howl, flying potion and indiscretion
  22. I just sucessfully placed an order, or at least I hope I did.
  23. This is one of the first florals I really enjoy. I was worried that it would have that old lady vibe. It's sophisticated and a bit mysterious, perfect. I love jasmine flowers, having two trees that bloom in the house but haven't embraced wearing it as a fragrance. The hubby is fond of ylang, me, just in the bottle, not to wear. This really has a powerful throw and I'm enjoying the fragrance much to my surprise. I ordered the sample because I can't resist things sideshow/ carny/ circus themed. And I myself am a tattooed lady. Ordering a full bottle, wish I could hoard at the moment, so far I've gotten "lucky" every time I've worn this. And I have limited experience wearing BI.
  24. I'm just trying this today, I had grabbed it as a freebie during the sale. Truthfully I picked it by name, just started to read this thread and didn't notice it had cops in it. I had intended a phero free day, oops. This started out with noticeable Apple on me but it a good way, to my surprise. My skin seems to be eating this up, it's very soft, a little sweet and earthy. I'm going to see how it progresses but I may be searching the trades for another bottle. Glad I was cautious with application, I would have normally rolled some into my hair, the cops were a surprise to me, not detectable.
