I really enjoyed wearing this last night. Instead of using a pipette, I used a glass dropper the size of the pherotine droppers, and added two or three drops of cops. I figure that's maybe the equivalent of one regular size drop. With that in a roller and some of it in a spray, I was in my own little happy cloud. I think the tiny bit of cops deepen it a smidge. I want to say "make it creamier," but I just can't, under the circumstances.

Yummy! I've had good times with all three! I think Odalisque should be a permanent offering. I just noticed tonight that one of my two bottles is 2/3 empty!

On that note, I've had two dogs that would both shiver violently when exposed to citronella EO.

Great, thank you. I was actually thinking one drop, but was questioning if I was being cowardly. I'll proceed with one!

Now that I think about it, some men I've been with who would've looked great on paper actually sucked in real life! And my man would not look good on paper, but he sure looks good in my bed! I do get the samplers, mostly, but never an itty. I love the labels and whatnot. But I'll get them in the future so I won't have to just wonder and wonder what "Devour Me" and "Neal's Rush" smell like. It's really hard for me to imagine men's scents from descriptions. And I'll shy away from dismissing scents so quickly in the future. We sent all of my man's "nopes" to his dad, he likes to make quick decisions, and now I'm wishing that I saved empty trial vials, just for reference.

IF I wanted to add some cops here, should I try the Buttercream Peach with LAM+Aja? Or some OCCO White? I also have some BAM's (Vanilla, brown sugar, amber.) I made such an awful mix on myself yesterday that I cannot trust myself with any combo's at the moment. Speaking of not trusting myself, what if I added just two drops EoW, or even one, to whole bottle? I'm thinking I'll leave one untouched, make one into a spray, and add a minor amount of cops to one rollerball.

Okay, thanks! Handing it over now!

This one is all gone, correct?

I wanted to like this one, it's just okay. I just don't think I do "pink" very well. I can't imagine why I'd reach for it when it's only inches from some spectacular scents that I love. I can give this to my daughter, right? It doesn't seem sexual to me at all.

Damn, Halo, you're right. I need this, too. I know I'd love this more than the OCCO Ambrosia. If I ever go to bed tonight, I'll do it in a mix of Pineapple Fairy Cake, Orange Fairy Cake, and Sugared Grapefruit with a tiny squirt of Honey'd LP. Pretty sure that's the closest I'm going to get to Hot and Sticky!

I wish someone would review it, too! It's kind of absurd that I'm sitting here wondering what a men's fragrance smells like. I FINALLY get why people order itty sets. To smell them! Who knew?! I like your story a lot, so far! How'd it go with those fragrances, and the Pashazade?

Seajammarket, have you tried this yet? I really love mine, think I'm going to turn one into a spray next time I break out the science kit.

That's what I'll say if I end up with a full bottle when it arrives on my doorstep. "It chose me! Not the other way around."

No. The need for FB's will NOT end.

Okay, so you're not going to make "oil sprays,"* you can add 2/3 ratio perfumer's alcohol to 1/3 ratio rollerball perfume oil that is already mixed up to make a spray of your oil rollerball perfume. The rollerballs are 1/3 oz, the sprays that LP offers are 1 oz, so I just follow that ratio. I think you should just keep the phero's in the dropper bottles and keep experimenting with your 4 drops for now, until you really know which phero's work for you and in what quantities. It's much easier to test when quantities are easy to control. Plus, you don't want to put a phero in a light and fast dispersing/fading scent if the phero is going to stick around, scent wise, much longer. But, if you're going to put the pherotine into perfumer's alcohol (without scent,) I'd say just put the whole thing in a 1 oz perfume bottle and fill it the rest of the way with the alcohol. Remember that you can't put a phero with cops into a spray, because you want the cops from the boobs down, basically. (I have broken this rule but I have done all kinds of dumb shit in my life, don't be like me, just follow the rules and then your hair won't smell like vagina.) *LP does offer the sprays in either 100% alcohol, or a 60/40 mix, but don't worry about that right now. Just worry about figuring out which pheros get you the results you want. If your target is too far away, like not in your personal space, figure out how to get them, or you, physically closer. Also figure out which phero's give you "selfies," some might make you feel like a million bucks, some might make you feel nothing. My best phero experiences come from the ones that make me feel more of whatever I'm aiming for, and that can draw my "targets' to me. I thought I would mix up some of these pherotines into perfumes, but it's nice to have them separate. Are you taking notes? It can be helpful. The only phero's I've made into sprays were originally rollerballs that I had more than one of, or I split it. I also have a few purse sprays that hold 1/3 oz alcohol perfume spray, so they'd get 1/3 of a rollerball of a perfume, but that's mainly for convenience. The mixing and measuring and pouring is really fun, but first figure out what works best for you. It's a science, so the less randomization, the better. There are a lot of really smart and experienced folks on here, if you look through some of the journals, you can find a shit tonne of useful info. Mara helped me a lot when I had very similar questions, you can see that thread here: Mixing perfume oils and UN pheros and perfumer's alcohol - ratios? Also, just for fun, you might like to take a look at this thread: Hoarders - LPMP Edition It won't help with your questions but will keep you entertained for a few moments.

Hold on Sugar! Whatcha' doin' over there? A spray is only going to increase the phero distance, but it won't change the effect. I love mixing stuff up, I have some extra glass bottles I've bought online to make 1 oz sprays from 30 ml bottles, and soon I'm probably going to take a few oils that are in my back up stash and make them into sprays. (Oils last longer, alcohol disperses more but wears off faster, too.) But you need to make sure you're using perfumer's alcohol, you can order it online, on etsy or ebay. Don't use everclear, I think that will have it's own scent. I'm not sure what's in what you're calling your "leftovers." I get that alcohol is basically alcohol, I clean yoga mats with cheap vodka and essential oils, but I wouldn't spray cheap vodka between my boobs, I don't want to see who that's going to attract to me.

Here's a personal perfume joke that no one might think is funny but me- Today I wore Lady MacBeth and EST for when my ex came over to pick up my daughter. Because EST (and I) have the power to control him and manipulate his weakness, like Lady Macbeth, and my worldly fortunes and destiny and still entwined with his as we own property together.

Thanks ladies! But it wasn't so much that I thought about it really, I just decided not to take any FB's since the humidity where I was last time caused the ruin of all my labels. I did wait to try spring samples though, which Mara did use a lot of tropical flowers, but mostly I just grabbed a ton of sniffles that seemed Hawaii appropriate and I just got lucky on Lava Rain. It's pretty powerful, so I have half a sniffle left, but just like so many others, I WANT MORE!!!

Ooooh! I saved this for the last day in Hawaii with my man and kids, as we are going exploring in a underground lava tube in a huge lava field by the ocean, wearing headlamps and all. I have a small amount of common sense, which should prohibit me from going in a lava tube on an island with an active volcano, but WTH. Don't think today's my day to die. Plus, I smell way to amazing to die! Pele's gonna love me!

I'm having fun with BI right now, this might be the first bottle I reach for (at night) when I get home. And I do miss my Tuberose FairyCake!

The body chemistry thing is so funny! Are you thinking there's a honey thing with rouge for me? It's so well blended I don't know what it is that I love so much in Rouge. You're making me consider adding some Aja to this Delectable im wearing. I'm not sure about the Orchid, but maybe if I add a touch of honey smut.... I had thought warm and toasty worked, but the oats turned on me. Maybe it's like building up seasonal allergy resistance by eating a spoonful of local honey daily, maybe I should choke down a spoonful of oatmeal. Kidding. My life would be unmanageable if every LP worked for me every time.

In the interest of science and Orchide Vanilla comparison, I just slathered this on and shoved my wrist in front of my man, 2 min into drydown. He grabbed my arm, then said "ummmmm," and then grabbed my boob. He says it's cozy and comfortable, sexy but casual, not for dressing up in a fancy dress. (If I had asked when sampling Vanilla Orchide, I'm sure he would have said it was good for dress up, I believe that means more powdery or clean for him.) I'm so glad my skin doesn't do the maple syrup thing! Ironically, he and I both dislike maple as a note, so there's no chance that's happening here. I'm currently covered in 70 spf (unscented) sunscreen, so the orchid isn't playing well with that. I'll test it again later when I'm not covered in chemicals. an hour later edit: I was started to feel that the Orchid might turn on me and give me a headache for a little bit, but then it smoothed itself out. And then I added Aja to the mix, and it was quite huffable. I just reslathered with both, and if it stays this sexy, they could possibly get mixed together in the bottle, never to venture solo again. two hour later edit: I have a few things I love with Aja added, but I've never had much of an opinion on it, one way or another. DELECTABLE WITH AJA TOGETHER IS SPECTACULAR. Or fucktacular, whichever is a higher compliment in your mind. Do you have both? GO MIX THEM NOW!!!

Stacy, I was mildly able to compare them, but I was coming off of a cold, so I can speak mainly to intensity and man reaction. The Orchide Vanilla was so light I didn't smell much of anything, and I got that man opinion "it's nice but it's not my favorite, you have so many perfumes that I like more." He likes foodie vanillas, so Orchide Vanilla is absolutely not a foodie vanilla. I didn't give it much of a chance. It's like the conversation I had at the denim store, when the girl was trying to sell me on the high quality of some jeans. "My man's an ass man, I don't care about the quality of the denim if they flatten my ass." I don't dress or smell good just for my man, I like to wear nice clothes and smell good for myself, but if I can have the option of more or less attention and affection, I'll take more. I wish I had $1000 for every time he's licked some pulse point and been mock surprised it didn't taste how it smelled. I traded my Orchide with Kayla for Delectable. Things that turn to maple syrup on her tend to get me um, let's say, "ravished." I don't think the two scents are anything alike. The only thing I can absolutely guarantee is that Orchide Vanilla is not a foodie Vanilla.

Well, I'm in Hawaii and I can see the ocean from my lounge chair, so I don't know if the aquatic scent vibe is me or the ocean, but I know the exotic tropical flowers are from Ohana because there are none in sight! It's my daughter's 9th birthday, so Heart and Soul is the perfect family bonding vibe for us today. If I can ever get them out of the pool, we're driving to see a dear old friend in her villiage up north. It's all about family today, we even let my daughter pick the rental car. (Really? A mini van?!!) I adore how I smell, but I can't imagine wearing this anywhere but on a tropical vacation. It mixes well with sunscreen and clean sweat, might be too clean and floral for me on the mainland. My man's also loving it because he's allergic to gardenia but somehow still loves the smell. He likes clean and floral scents. I wish I knew someone who was getting married in a tropical place because I would buy this for them. I think this would be the most romantic wedding scent, and they could wear it every year on their anniversary. It's both memorable and romantic. 3 days later edit: In Ohana again, this time with saltwater dried in my hair and a little sand here and there, meeting a friend in a restaurant with my kids and my man. The Ohana makes me seem less grungy than I am.
