  1. That is indeed what I love about it! I suppose if all else fails I can always smut it up with some EoW. Thanks, Luna!
  2. Does anyone have experience with the virgin Compromising Positions? Is the scent terribly affected by the lack of pheros? I'm OBSESSED with how this smells and want to be able to wear it with shameless abandon!
  3. MY ORDER IS OUT FOR DELIVERY Y'ALL!!!! These are the moments when the impatience realllllllyy gets the better of me - I swear I'm refreshing the tracking every 5 minutes and jumping out of my skin. An addict for sure. *shrug*
  4. Ok, I have tried this several times now in various amounts and every time it makes me super spaced out and dizzy. Anybody else get this? Not sure I'm getting any hits with this either, sadly. Maybe this is one that just doesn't work for me... UPDATE: I made this Pherotine oil into a spray and do a little spritz in my hair and nooow I'm starting to get the hits. Was out at a bar with some friends and realized I had slipped the spray into my purse, so gave myself a little pick-me-up in the restroom. When I emerged all of a sudden my friends all swarmed around me in a circle and were listening intently every time I opened my mouth and buying me drinks (this never happens, my friends are super cheapskates, hee!) and laughing at everything I was saying. Everything. I did not pay for one single thing all night. Time just completely flew, we were having such an awesome time we ended up closing out the bar at 4am, which is something I have not done in a goooooood long time. Finding my groove with this one, yay!
  5. Dang, y'all, you have me convinced!!! I'm always down for impromptu buttery naked time. What a bittersweet moment it is, finding one more thing I simply must have. *add to cart* In other news, I went back to my OCCO white again and it's already so much lovelier and waaaay less plasticky than it was at first... I'm legit scurred for my bank account... I do so love all the feisty euphemisms that go spraying about 'round here. Joy!
  6. I have a trial of OCCO that came in my last delivery but it went a bit plastic on me - going to let it sit for a few weeks and revisit. And I've been eyeing Odalisque!! Is the honey very prominent in this? I've deduced so far the honeys I've tried hate me, but I'm always willing to keep experimenting in the name of SCIENCE. Should I just pounce on a FB?? Yeah, I don't really experience selfies so I quickly forget I'm wearing magical elixirs until funny things start happening - takes me minute to put 2 & 2 together. I should start carrying little wipes around in case I have to switch gears on a dime. Invisible costume change... hee!
  7. Yeah, so far the only selfies I get are the boosts to my mood from other people's reactions, and that is fine by me. That said, I haven't had a chance to really test out many EST blends yet - those make me nervous because I am already quite hormonally emotional. Waiting to test them when hubby is around so he can pet my hair if I lose my shit. Having worn Leather all day though, I can safely say it's a winner. I'm a pretty no bullshit kinda lady as it is so I'm guessing this amps up my signature - people were verrry smiley and friendly during the day and even on the subway, getting out of my way, opening doors, letting me by. DEF not par for the course during rush hour. KEEPER!
  8. Girl, plaster it all over yourself, I'll live vicariously through all of you!!
  9. The drydown and bloom on this is phenom. And y'all aren't kidding about allowing these blends travel settling - having it sit for 2 weeks has been a total gamechanger. Amazing, too, how it blooms on skin. It's a simple light vanilla when I first smear it on, so light I fear it will simply disappear. But in 2 hours time, it blossoms into the most gorgeous cloud of gooey unctuous sexy fun time for the woman who grew up a total tomboy, but in adulthood found the joys of dress up and and a red lip. I put BBM in my cleavage and this in the usual pulse point spots and DAMN. Cloud of sexiness with a smirk on your face. Sad to say I don't get many direct selfies from pheros in general (or at least I don't think I do...) but I've noticed people are generally friendlier and more overtly accommodating, making eye contact, smiling, almost being deferential. Very handy for work. That in turn makes me feel like the shit and turn myself up a notch, so if that's a selfie I'll take it! Another FB going on the list.... DAMN!!! Bye bye $$$...
  10. Why was this thread so hard to find?? Anyway, I've been wearing BBM pretty much every day since I tore open my sweet box of goodies - is "life changing" too strong a phrase? I have gotten a maniacal amount of compliments with this, layered with all manner of things I keep in my arsenal, and I now know I can never, but NEVER be without this gem. So thick and sweet and delicious, I just want to eat myself and I look like a damn pervy fool with my head down in my cleavage all the live long day. Lasts so long and leaves beautiful trails in my bedding - it only gets better and better as it dries down. So divine. Last night I wore this slathered on my torso and SS4W on my chest and hair with a small boost of DHEA for good measure. Topped it all with a tiny bit of musk oil I love and met up with a friend for drinks at a popular speakeasy. The place was totally packed just minutes after opening, but the host made a beeline for us and took us instantly back to a secret room where we were served right away. Nice! My friend was also much more chatty, comfortable, and open than he usually is, we had a nice time. Afterwards, we met up with my mentor and his wife for more drinks and dinner. This part got awkward because my mentor (older gentleman) who I've known for a decade was suddenly totally flustered and wanting to get close and chat and kept telling me how good I smelled... OOPS! We all went to a super crowded, very lively cafe for food and martinis (and maybe an absinthe or two, hehe), and I think he got concerned and confused because he was suddenly very quiet and kept having to step outside... I should have been more careful but I seriously wasn't thinking he would be hit! Dumb of me, maybe, but I was really just having too much fun experimenting. Anyway, besides that we had a great time. The band kept coming over to our table to talk to us and our waiter was so enamored, he brought us all rounds of free shots at the end of our meal. My mentor couldn't WAIT to get out, even though his wife wanted to keep partying and kept hugging me and telling me how much she loves me and planning all these hypothetical trips around the world we should be taking together. All in all, a winning combo!! But I'm going to have to seriously reign in who I wear this around. I'm learning!
  11. This. Is. Divine. Wow! Way to nail it with these sample freebies!! I never would have sought this out as I normally only like rose notes if they're hidden deeeeep within a fragrance, but the smoothness of these roses feels like I'm floating on a cloud of unsweetened rose whipped cream - just pure innocent coziness and joy. Like a taking a long, hot bath in milk and rose petals before drifting off, swathed in a giant bundle of the softest cotton. Safe to say I'm obsessed. This will be my next FB.
  12. Man, I've tried and tried and I really want to love this, but it just hates me with a passion, and that hate wants to linger on my skin alldayallnight. Awfully jealous of you ladies who can successfully pull this off. No amount of layering or less-is-more application helps either - it overrides all else and is determined to take me down in a baby powder molotov. Le sigh.
  13. Not at all what I expected, and oddly I don't much cream or honey on my skin, which is a bummer. It's very floral on me, totally orange blossom forward, with a little bit of spice that I'm guessing is the amber. Even though it's not quite what I was hoping for, I'm totally loving it. It smells akin to an essential oil blend called DNA Repair that I adore, though it took me forever to place what that familiarity was! Makes me want to take a nice warm bath and snuggle up under 16 blankets with a BIG glass of wine.
  14. Ooooh, great idea!! Never even thought of that. Thank you!
  15. This was a freebie in my first order and oh my god, I LOVE the way this starts out! That wispy, almost hazelnutty steamed milk lightness, I could honestly bathe in that opening accord forever. I wish it would stay in that zone but unfortunately within 3 minutes all that fades and my skin right away turns this into a milky hot cocoa that's been fermenting in the sun for a week - seriously no bueno. SIGH!!! Is there a way to keep it in that glorious sweet spot?? I'm desperate for it. I keep putting it on just for the opening and enduring the consequences. My cats are very confused...
  16. Yep, it definitely was a bit much, not likely I'll attempt that combo again - feeling pretty out of sorts today. But that could also very well be that 4th whiskey talking...
  17. Halo, I've become the greediest lady, I just want more more more!!! Last night I finally took some potions on a test drive with my best guy friend I haven't seen in a few months because we are both constantly away for work. We have a romantic history so maybe it was a little evil, but I also feel totally safe with him so felt it was a good environment to see what kind of effects I would get. I wore a healthy dose of BAM in Sandalwood and Resins on my torso, a splash of straight a-nol, and Empathy Potion on my neck, wrists, and hair. He can be self-involved and a conversation hijacker given the smallest push, so I thought Empathy Potion would be perfect and I read somewhere in the forum it's best with a dash of a-nol to temper the crash. Covered up with a scent I already own and love. You guys, it was total madness. He was already at a table when I met him at the restaurant, and as soon as he saw me he was slackjawed, flushed totally red and said I smelled "insane". Now we've known each other for a decade and at this point are so close we're like siblings, so this was totally out of character and hilarious - for the first 10 minutes he couldn't even make eye contact with me and kept flipping through the menu and blabbing nonsensically. It was quite cute. At the bottom of beer number one, he finally was able to relax but kept making quiet aside comments about how gorgeous I looked, that I was glowing, that my skin looked perfect, almost more to himself than to me. Totally totally totally out of character for our relationship. The beers were flowing and we were both more relaxed and we ended up heading to a bar and sitting next to one another so I suppose the wafts were much more in his face and then all he wanted to talk about was sex and dating and sex and sex and sex, and kept saying that I had never looked better in my life, and if I ever were single again he was taking me to Mexico. All the while I'm laughing to myself thinking, Who the hell is THIS guy??? Just totally unreal for what our relationship is, and a side of him I'd never ever seen. Whew! It was fun and entertaining, but lesson learned - this shit is pow. Er. Ful. I'm not wearing this around willy nilly again! Nice to have a safe space to play around, no harm done. VERY much looking forward to experimenting with the husband.
  18. Yup! I'm learning I gotta draw a line... On our wedding day we wore the same fragrance purchased for the occasion (Histoires des Parfums Noir Patchouli), and he loved that idea so much he's started to go rummaging in my collection on the regular. What's mine is his, yada yada, but come on man! When I made the initial order the unscented trial pheros weren't on the site yet - so when those became available, I simply had to. Sorry bank account. But damn, what good timing for me to find this site!
  19. Thanks, guys!! I'm so antsy to test these out on the husband. I'm out of town for a few weeks because of work so I'll have to settle for playing with the sexier ones on my own for now. When we met I was wearing a lot of my own personal a-nol and EoW spiked scents and I'm fairly certain that had a large part to play in our, ahem, dramatic courtship. Stoked to relive some of those passionate beginnings after this time apart - he won't know what hit him!
  20. This one was one of the freebies in my order and WOW is this really lovely. I never would have picked this on my own based on the notes, as I generally gravitate more toward animalic, incensey, woody scents, but this one knocked my socks off! It's sweet in a way that is gentle and cozy rather than lick-my-face foody, with the just the right touch of floral to keep it all very elegant and charismatic. Looking forward to trying this on a test subject for a cozy cuddle evening.
  21. New member here, and so blissfully happy to have found this enclave! Just received my very first Love Potion order yesterday and between being totally enamored with my purchases and trolling the forum reading your awesome reviews whilst waiting for my order to arrive, I put another order in today. What's a girl supposed to do?? I had used pheros since I was a teen with pretty pronounced success, but have always been put off by the scents other companies used, not to mention the limited selections for women elsewhere. And I'm a fragrance ADDICT and LUNATIC - I probably own several hundred niche fragrances alone - so to say that scent is the most important aspect of any environment I'm in is a gross understatement! I stopped utilizing pheros because of all this, but missed the effects I was getting. All this to say, I'm so so grateful for this site and Mara for offering such a vast array of amazing options. So incredible - seriously, I'm in heaven. My scent obsession has started to rub off on the husband too which is both great (we can indulge and enjoy together!) and horrible - (he keeps stealing my scents away from me!) So looking forward to hearing more about your adventures, taking all these babies on a test run, and sharing my reports with you! xoxo
