    Reliquary

    @Onyx I really enjoy your reviews, I might go read them all! Totally got the “cozy pullover” and the “this is one of those scents that I want to smell but don't want to smell like.” I have a few of those. If they don’t go on my man, they can go into the wax warmer. Sometimes that can feel wasteful, I don’t wash my cashmere sweaters everytime I wear them, and inside my down jacket might be another place that would work. I have bought scent lockets and not used them because I’m lazy about jewelry, but you might want to look into them.
  2. This is still the best golden amber Honey scent. It’s aged really well, and the apricot is still bright and cheery, keeping the homey from leaning smutty.
  3. Ooohhh…. I might not be able to resist Kayla's Creme a l'Orange! And the Black Panther, now I’ll call it @dolphindolls2’s BP.

    Gogo

    Just looking through what’s left in the sale, I can’t believe there are bottles of Gogo left! It’s like a summer Liebchen, add a bit of OCCO Lav Buttercream or OCCO Vanilla and you’re irresistible!
  5. Tee-hee! I mix things up, too. Usually it’s the phero that I’m confused about, and sometimes the results are not so awesome! Hearts Ease has the Balm Bomb phero, so at least you’ve got your pheros straight! You should also try the Scented BB, it’s the one I’ve bought and finished the most bottles of, over time. I could see Treasured Hearts not working at work. I think it works best with people you already have a familiar relationship with. If they already love you, it makes them more cuddly. If you’ve know each other for a long time and the relationship has a lot of tension, it helps ease it. I’ve used it to help grow trust in newer relationships, but maybe if the person is new to you or just a co-worker you’ll see occasionally and has zero interest in getting to know you better, it might not help anything. It could’ve helped in the interview because the person was trying to get to know you. Or maybe you just dazzled them all on your own!
  6. It’s an all around happy / good vibes kind of blend. I forgot it had Open Windows, I think I was confusing it with Summershine’s Topper as I got them both in spray around the same time. Ironically, I wore it to usher at the Fox Theater the other night, and I accidentally wore Open Windows the last time I was there. I volunteer to usher, it’s a way to see shows for free. This time I got to see The Melvins & Mr. Bungle (both 90’s punky metal, Melvins were huge influence on Seattle Grunge scene, Mr Bungle sounds like Frank Zappa meets death metal.) The last time I accidentally wore Open Windows there, I was trying to keep to myself and listen to a book before the show, but people were stumbling over themselves to talk to me. Thankfully I was feeling a little more social this time! I also met up with an old friend and he was happy to tell me everything I didn’t already know about his current life, it was sweet.
  7. I knew about getting to search from activity, but not this!
  8. Yes! I was just wondering what would become of me once my Drive By Fruiting was gone! And my man just wore Hot Cherry last night, for his birthday, it’s so good. Super Happy Fun Time was one of my few “I should’ve bought a bottle” regrets. And I cannot wait to visit Pajama Island. The labels are perfect! Also excited for a solid OCCO!
  9. It was mentioned here in this thread, but it’s not there now. I’d just call the shop if I were you!
  10. @luna65 right? Pretty sure every kid growing up listening to the radio in the 70’s got it, how that man got a job as a journalist, and the opportunity to do that interview, boggles the mind.
  11. My man’s wearing Havana on Earth and a friend of mine just called me from a rehab in Southern California called Hotel California! (This is a good thing, fairly overdue.) These two things together compel me to share this Don Henley interview excerpt- Journalist once asked Don Henley about lyric 'mistake' in The Eagles song Hotel California and it did not end well
  12. You might want to hunt down a bottle of Love Potion: Fall Equinox 2019: Samhain. I wouldn’t say it smells the same but has the main Nox notes, plus so much more!
  13. @RosesArePink your coworker, if this were a movie, just had his entire family taken hostage until he successfully steals some corporate secrets. And that’s the movie best case scenario!
  14. Nah, no rituals when traveling. Can you imagine me in the bathroom, burning candles while 3 teenagers are ready to walk over to Disneyland? They'd probably think I was doing drugs in there. I just think about the intention as I apply. I also use them in the car on road trips. I do wear them as perfumes, even ones that might be more suited to other applications, like Peaceful Home. i figure it's for me, so I might as well be the one smelling it. The only one I use exclusively as/with ritual is Ashes to Dust. I think Let It Go was the one that Mara specifically said that it's not going to wear like perfume and you'll want to shower it off.
  15. Thanks Mara! I just want to mention, for newer forum members, that I never travel without some LPMP spell potions in trial size. I have full bottles of many of these / variants of these, but I will at least get all the trials and put them in my luggage and leave them there, as soon as I get them. I don’t have any travel plans at the moment, but I’ll be ready and obstacles be damned!
  16. @Potion Master thank you for going into such detail with that “Prosper Elsewhere ceremony!” I’ve don’t the cord cutting meditation myself, this seems more thorough. I like the Yes/No coins. I have made many important decisions this way. I remember telling my ex to just flip a coin and either commit for good or move on regarding me, he was so wishy washy. He thought I was crazy and couldn’t conceive of making important decisions that way. No wonder I ended up making it for him!
  17. Good night! And if I didn’t say it before, I am thrilled that these will also be offered in the smaller sizes because 1) portability and 2) then we can buy more! 😽
  18. They look amazing!!! Love the idea of the Moon Money Magic / success as revenge! Also love the local slant Road Opener. Very cool. The talk of keys is serendipitous, I wore The Key from the last spell collection today!
  19. This made me run and open my spell potions box, to peep if I have any 2009 spell variants. I don’t think I do, except maybe a Love Drawing one that I don’t see a date on. But something I found in that box - Egg Nog Riot! If it’s in that box, it’s a spell potion!
  20. One mistake I recently made, he had kept a big Lego transformer looking guy of some kind, because it was partially melted. I didn’t realize that what it was when I was cleaning the mantle and found what I thought was an abandoned Lego project, and I put it outside on the free pile I have in front of my house. (Lots of foot traffic here, and there’s a sign “Help yourself!”) He saw it and was bummed. If he wants to keep some random charred trash as a reminder, let him! Maybe print out some pictures from his digital backstory and place them around the new digs? I recently heard a clutter clearing expert reflecting back to when she wished her house would catch fire and she could start anew. No one who’s been through it would wish it on anyone, let alone themselves! But it does help to pair us down to our true values. I’m glad you’re getting settled in now. Get some rest!
  21. I never seem to run out of actual wax in my wax warmer, so I just add scent to it. Lately I’ve added a few drops of Pumpkin Soufflé and a little True Confessions oil and it puts everyone in a good mood.
  22. I wore this yesterday as a pick-me-up. I kinda wish I had bought a bottle last year because it’s very clean and bright but also winter appropriate, a breath of winter fresh air.
  23. @Mila we all have different skin chemistry, so that might never change for you. Trust me, as a long time LP fan, I’m sometimes relieved when stuff doesn’t work! I can’t actually own them all, so I’m fine with some things turning just awful on me. You don’t need to try to force it, you can always trade/sell it on the trade boards. You want to enjoy what you’re wearing! Sometimes I’ve read about notes smelling different on reviewers skin at different times of the month. There’s no way I would have patience / insight / time to figure that out myself. If something doesn’t work, I just put it aside for 3-6 months. I’ll try it again then, and if it doesn’t appeal to me, I’ll add it to my trade list. There’s no specific rules in this department, just generalities, depends on the scent. For instance, citrus tends to soften over time. Most scents become more than the sum of their parts over time, whereas you might be able to pick out individual notes more easily in the beginning. Again, this is just a vague generalization. Every perfume and how it reacts over time and with your individual chemistry is unique.
