  1. It is listed in the reviews under full name of the fragrance. (Mara’s Rocket Fuel) ?
  2. Lol When I used to go to Canada (working) maple syrup was my personal shopping requirement when going through duty free! Sure, there is Canadian whiskey, but for me, it was all about the syrup! ☺️ This is a review thread, and I don't want to be the one to steer it more off course, however. I guess I don't want to not do that bad enough, because I'm going to do it anyway! About the fenugreek.... What a surprise to read about it here, when I'd just decided to try using it for the past week or so. I had to go off of the climara pro trans-dermal patch, and I was hoping this would help keep my hormones more balanced (?) I don't know if it is or isn't doing this, but, by evening my underarms smell like maple syrup! And that is really kinda weird (but nice) I use all natural deodorant without antiperspirant. The one I use is by an Etsy shop, and I have lots of scents (you can pick your own) Of late I've been alternating between dark chocolate and a honey scented one. By the end of the day the fragrance of the product is gone, and maple takes its place. I'm not crazy about maple in my perfumes, but the maple from the fenugreek smells really good. The jury is out as far as if it is doing anything beneficial for the reason I started it though. (PS, Eggers, I haven't noticed it affecting my appetite one way or the other) (For the record, Lina's Pumpkin Batter Cake sounds like a scent I would adore!)
  3. Today, when I was sorting through my sniffies, I discovered I had this! How it slipped past me is a mystery. I’ve been curious to try it, and have almost ordered a trial vial several times now. Yes, it is masculine, but it sweetened up considerably after it was on my skin for a bit. I think I’d enjoy using it in a warmer as a room fragrance. I really like it a lot! Think: the clean but antique paper of a library book that has been housed in a study where various substances were smoked over the years. I think im going to have to get myself a bottle?.
  4. What a classic! Makes me plan to make a point to wear this more (although it wasn't all the perfumes and pheros, it was also you!)
  5. Cops are my huckleberry! You might want to increase (or possibly decrease, but if you’re wearing scents that are already boosted with cops, that would not likely be needed, if it is something that Mara created with copulins as part of the fragrance itself). I rarely experience self effects from ”social” pheros , with the exception of levitation and DHEAS. And, honestly, I am treated well by strangers, and family/friends, so I don’t find myself even remembering if there is a difference in their reactions when I wear social pheromones (pretty much because I forget I have them on, probably) The sexy type pheros do have a marked effect on the BF. Sexpionage is #1 in my arsenal, but BI works too. If youve not tried PheroGirl, this is a great (wonderful awesome incredible) cops scent. And the OCCOs are great too. I think I can get away with wearing more copulins than someone who is a lot younger than me, and I like how they make me feel about myself. Keep experimenting!
  6. Mara’s like that!! ? I attempted placing just a regular order during the sale, and she posts that I need to pick what freebies I want.
  7. Oh, Just Desserts is yummy! I came *this close* to ordering somet some for my last sale order.
  8. I like this, and I kept thinking it reminded me of something. After digging through my stash, I finally located Just Desserts. Initially when I layer Beth's Blushing Milkmaid over Just Desserts, I get something very similar to Dari Gold. But, after a while, the BBM + Just Desserts has a markedly more buttery smell to it. It could be because the Just Desserts can't hold its own against the stronger BBM, in all of its buttery coconutty glory. Anyhoo, I know that the listed notes are not the same as the combo, but for those who missed out on Dari Gold, its something to consider layering together. (I missed out on Ebil-ish and Lick of Cream, so cannot compare to them.)
  9. Of the entire collection of LE OCCO's, this one is the one the one that is just not a go for me. I think a lot of this has to do with me just not gravitating to floral fragrances in general, combined with tangerine not being in my top faves for fragrance notes. It does cover the copulins completely, and was not a scrubber, just not something I would reach for to wear. I'll give it a while longer, and revisit.
  10. This defies everything I *thought* I understood about what categories of fragrances best cover copulins. Never, ever would I think there is an OCCO strength of cops in this! Even though I am not a floral perfume kind of person, this one I would and will absolutely wear from time to time. It is feminine and clean smelling. It very well mannered in the sense one could wear it to social occasions, or in business situations where sexy fragrances would be inappropriate.
  11. I like this a lot more than I expected to! The long dry down is a classic sort of oriental fragrance on me, in the same vein as commercial scents such as Obsession or Opium. And, it covers the copulins completely. I I don't love it as much as the Sandal Musk, but it is very very pretty.
  12. It starts out very similar to Wild Cherry, but the dry down is completely different. It is sweeter by a lot (on me). I do like it better than OCCO Choco, but that is a personal preference thing.
  13. ... finding this an interesting thread! As you guys probably know from what I've posted before I don't often get self effects from pheros - there are some exceptions though. The stronger formulation of DHEAS does, but not really the lesser concentration. Open Windows I've not tried , nor have I tried Lumina or Topper. Levitation does give me selfies unless I wear it for a few days in a row. The worst thing about when I test drive a social pheromone blend on others. is I forget I have it on. Even though some of us on the forum may tend to scrutinize reactions too much, I err on the other side. I *think* if I had to pick pheromone social blends that most accurately project who I am in other's eyes, it would be LFM./LFN although the LFN is obviously more sexual too. LFN I do get self effects from, and I think it is congruent with how I am perceived by others. I wear it a good bit lately. Cops are my huckleberry. Like totally. May I never run out. Here is my little Irish Blessing with a EOW/OCCO spin: May his Rock of Cashel rise up to meet you. May he .... ...okay, I got nothing else. A very very short ode to copulins indeed! I liked the rock of cashel though.. I'm ordering Lumina next, thanks in part to what Eggers wrote. I will report back.
  14. Awww! How sweet! (and tell him, good to know)
  15. Welcome! (not sunny here, but I can always hope it will be soon)
  16. Okay, that is cherry ? not cerry divinity. Clearly I am someone who needs the edit function (or bothers to proofread)
  17. My teensy sale order should be here tomorrow! I’ve been curious about Petit 4.2, and have read so many references to Cerry Divinity. Can’t wait to try them ?
  18. I use virgin bad girl to cover. I even made a small boosted bottle (don’t remember what ratios though). It covers completely?
  19. I have a couple on order Can not wait! I have the trial size, but don't want to risk using it up in case some apocalyptic mailing event happens before I can receive them! In reference to how it smells compared to Caramel Musk, I no longer own the CM, but I remember I tried it, and it read as more masculine on me than I cared for, which is kind of weird in that I'd say I tend to like unisex fragrances. As I no longer have it, I can't retry the CM to identify what the difference is for me, but it may have been how some caramels react with my skin chemistry.
  20. Kayla this reminds me of Beth's Blushing Milkmaid, too. I need to try it again to better evaluate the amber aspect that Luna, talked about. I do love BMM, and will definitely use up my trial vials.
  21. lol. That's okay. When I die, someone is going to discover my very real back-up stockpile. It resides in a Frye boot box in the back bottom of my armoire, and I know I've still got room left in that box. Which is good, because autumn is coming and we know no one does autumn like Mara!
