That's too good! :msn_red_fox_smilies-09:

Thanks for your stellar report, Dolly - this one's going in the shopping cart!

This is so pretty! I get a lot of dry powdery sandalwood, jasmine, ylang (so far it's sounding like Samsara by Guerlain) with a subtle deeper undercurrent of resins and little wafts of rose. Pretty strong self-effects from the TAF which I've never worn before, an altered state of intense focus but not a crisp mental focus, more like I'm tuning into some new frequency dominated by emotion, feelings, flow, being. That's the best I can do - it's like being in a state of flow. In addition to being smashing for sex, I bet it would be great for perfoming music!

Seconding Dolly's rec for Vitacost! I order from them all the time, including the ProGest cream.

On me, this is very very strong (and I don't say that about many LPs) musky and SPICY. Very pretty and unusual.

Me too, Katz, I love their patchouli dominant scents. Medium and Sugared Patch are fab.

There are so many I like, the most worn are these pretties: 1. Medium (especially layered with BI, swoon!) 2. Raqs Sharqi 3. Nasty Habits 4. Scandalous Intentions 5. Karmiel's Silken Moonlight

Thanks, I'll have to sniff that one out!

1. Medium 2. Robin and Marian 3. Scandalous Intentions 4. Tamashii No Tomo 5. Raqs Sharqi I love incense, roses and orris!

Y'all are really confusing me ... powdery sex ... plastic ... sexy grandma ... civet oatmeal The notes sound promising, though! certain musks just explode on me, and not in a good way, but with enough amber and honey that doesn't usually happen. NaughtySweet'n'Dirty kinda sounds like a Stones tune ...

Magical circus mix, indeed! those are some results! (poor mommy!)

Seconding Dolly's rec for BI, it's fab ... but it has some androstenone in it, so if you aren't a cops-n-none fan, another one might be better.

That sounds so beautiful Lor! I'm happy for you!

Hmm, sounds a bit like this: ... could be very handy indeed ;-)

An amazing collection this month! Loving the notes in Sorceress and Flower of Venus. The white roses sound exquisite!

I've only tried Pheroboy and Pheroboy Dominance - love 'em both. Pheroboy is kind of young/fresh/green grassy with a warmer drydown, and has a great uplifting vibe, very fun to be around. Pheroboy Dominance is quite masculine, more mature, deep mossy/woodsy, smoothly blended, and has a more dominant aura (similar to A314, if you're familiar with pheromone products).

I love her expression, and those pretty green eyes!

I don't really get self-effects much with copulins by themselves. But in combination with other things, uhm, yeaaaah. Blatant Invitation leaves me positively tingly. That is a really good phero blend.

Lover's Reunion was one of my early favorites; I love carnation and petitioned for LR to be re-brewed after it sold out.

This doesn't address wearing them on the skin, but exposure to (i.e., inhaling) pheromones is known to influence hormone production. See the second study J. V. Kohl cites (T = testosterone, LH = luteinizing hormone, E2 = estradiol, which is a form of estrogen). http://www.pheromonetalk.com/womens-pherom....html#post87380 Shinohara K, Morofushi M, Funabashi T, Mitsushima D, Kimura F. Effects of 5alpha-androst-16-en-3alpha-ol on the pulsatile secretion of luteinizing hormone in human females.Chem Senses. 2000 Aug;25(4):465-7. "The LH and T response to olfactory/pheromonal input has been repeatedly indicated or reported in findings from non-human animal studies and from human studies. In mammals, short-term exposure of males to females is linked to a T increase in men, as well as in rats, mice, rabbits, bulls, rams, and monkeys. The T increase in non-human mammals is believed to be due to the effect of pheromonal conditioning of an LH response that precedes the T increase (Graham & Desjardins, 1980). (An ovulatory phase, LH-facilitated, E2 and T response to pheromones is indicated but less well-detailed due to its cyclic nature in females.)" (Kohl, 2007, p. 325-326) ---------------

That sounds really pretty -- I love jasmine!

I'd love to see Love Potion White come back. That one totally grew on me.

I was lucky to snag a rediscovered bottle of the sold-out Nasty Habits - YAY! I was wearing some yesterday and asked DH's opinion of it; he said it reminded him of copal incense he'd smelled at Venice Beach. It is very resinous and incensey on me, and I love the peachy topnote.

Pheromones can really enhance your life and the lives of those lucky enough to be around you, but it takes some patience and keen observation to acquire the knowledge and skills to use them optimally. Everyone, no matter their age, level of education or life experience, has a learning curve with them ... if people around you are having a good time - a better time once you arrive on the scene - then you know you're doing something right. Pheromones are messengers - they're biochemical communication, and in NLP they say, "the meaning of your communication is the response you get." If you like the responses you get, then right on ... if not, pay attention to that feedback, and tinker some more! Don't be afraid to experiment in low-stakes situations; any miscalculations you make can accelerate your progress, and can really help you see that yeah, these things DO have an effect, it's not just in your head. Hopefully you choose to use them for peaceful purposes only! As Dolly says, the social pheromones are really great to use; they're hard to go wrong with, and extremely effective for the kinds of results that benefit more people, more of the time.

I think I took LP White for granted until I used the vial up; it's so very wearable ... of course THEN I realized how special it was, and it was gone!
