Do you know what I’ve just realised! On both occasions of me wearing CB, my partner was angry and short-tempered. Could that be increased testosterone talking?? As opposed to making him full of desire, he gets full of bad mood🤭 And if that’s the case, does that mean I can’t use cops around him at all?

He could be one of those who doesn't respond well to EST. There's a few posts around here discussing that.

Dolly's last post in this thread briefly mentions that.

Those with higher cops levels, like the OCCOs, LFN, Sexology, and Sexpionage do. Those with a small amount, like Gotcha, not so much.

I really have been struggling with myself for almost all of 2022. so far. I've been waking up at 3.15 am, then can't go back to sleep. I have been tired every morning just like I was when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto. And I've been super super sad. Then I remembered this thread and vitamin D. I started taking it again. And B12, because I don't eat meat and rarely eat dairy and today is the first day I feel better. Also, I started to walk home from work, yesterday it took me 52 minutes for 3.74 km. Today I changed my route, it took me 49 minutes for 4.02 km. I am slow but proud I made myself walk.

 

So far, I've notice Mega Watt helps me so I am not that tired.

Hope this isn’t too personal. Are you on thyroid meds?

My package got here today! (Had a substitute mail person yesterday who didn't leave it like my regular mail person does )

Trying to be patient waiting for travel shock to wear off

Mine should be here tomorrow! Yay!

I know I'm getting FBs of Heartwood, Bonflower of Autumn, and Holliday. Now I'm trying to decide between Woodland Creatures and Hemwicke. Trying to stay within budget...

Wet I get mostly carnation at first, very similar to the carnation in Velour Frais. As it dries its morphing into something that reminds me of the scent of faintly lingering smoke from last nights bonfire in the woods on skin with just a smidge of floral remaining. Another FB for me.

@Eastwood22 So far, Heartwood, Bonflower of Autumn, Sweet Leaf, and Ambre Fox

@Eastwood22 No rush. I have yours ready to go whenever you're ready.

At least yours were in the shade! My mailbox is black metal and sitting right in the sun.

Haven't gone through all my samples yet, but so far this is my favorite. The scent is a sort of clean woodlands with just a hint of sweet which puts it in unisex territory. FB for sure

Got my samples today!!! Have 4 scents on right now.

I believe there's also a gunpowder note in Sex and Violins.

Thanks. Unfortunately I hadn't discovered LP yet when that one came out Maybe I'll get lucky and there will be a rebrew someday.

Its not just the gunpowder note either, its more the combo of leather and gunpowder

Mara is a genius, and I think I guessed gunpowder and leather because it’s in Wayward Son. I think it’s in a few others, too, I never would’ve thought of that on my own! 
Just did a search, also gunpowder in Mangelwurzel, Black Frye and Elementary Chapter 5. 

Magelwurzel I have. I would've bought Wayward Son if it came without the phero. Off to look up the other 2. Thanks

My scent guesses for Holliday were way off, except for the sage. This is good, though, I’m not looking for a gunpowder and leather perfume!

Since you posted that in your guess I've been curious what Mara could do with that combo. (Yes, I'm weird)

I’m still pondering Lantern.   Yeah, I was pretty sure kerosene wouldn’t be involved. But no smoke or beeswax either?  Illumination huh…

Lantern made me think pumpkin because jack-o'-lantern

Heartwood, I'm hoping, is a unisex woody earthy

No! Luna told me about the song afterward, I don't think I've ever heard it! I just liked the flow of the words. She said it's about pot? This potion is not about pot. lol.

I would hope it isn’t about pot! 🤣

My first thought was about the kind of plants burned during ceremonies, like  sweet grass, but I’m not good at guessing notes

Love the labels! 😍

Is Sweet Leaf named for the song?

On me I get the impression of an old fashioned strawberry milkshake. There's no cold vibe to it, just rich, creamy vanilla and fresh strawberries. Yum! So glad I went full bottle

FBs of The Salty Mermaid, Rubylicious, Katje, and JuJu and trials of Keyani and Maeve

Yay!

I have a feeling I'm going to love The Salty Mermaid even before we have the notes

Yay! Summer scents!

I know I'm in the minority around here, but the summer scents are my faves

Waiting on this too. The summer scents are my fave

Would love a rebrew of Enivrant
