melisse

I think I still like the small dark brown & gold Paperblank with the metal latches. 

I’m guessing the paper is lined? Im looking for unlined, or even better would be the “guide dots” that I see sometimes. I could go for lined IF it’s very subtle lines. How much $$ is it?

I also like the green blown glass pen. Still have those?

Melisse, are you sure it's the pheros? What scents are you using along with the pheros? Are you using any essential oils? Asking because there are certain scents that are toxic for cats, and it's possible they are responding to the cover scent rather than the pheros. Cats and dogs usually like pheros, but it's also possible that you are wearing too much for their taste and you can dial it back a bit.

I guess it could be the scent I’m using, but with different scents and different cats, I haven’t found the pattern yet - maybe I was watching for the wrong issue?

ive heard some essential oils are toxic to cats, but I thought that was only when they are forced to lick it off, because someone applied it to their skin for holistic reasons? 

Just smelling certain oils can be bad too??

ETA - I’m currently using just LP fragrances. Which leads me to another question - I understand you don’t use artificial stabilizers (or whatever chemicals ordinarily go into perfume). Does this make it less objectionable to environmentally sensitive people? 

Do you still sell journals? I‘m admiring that small gold Paperblank in the photo quoted below:

Looking forward to trying this one.

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?

We had a nice date. And I gave him the Pashazade, it’s a 60/40 oil spray. He liked it, but I’m not sure if pheros work on him. I shared with him my favorites, Open Windows and Balm Bomb, because those seem like the best examples of how they work... but they didn’t on him. And I’m like, damn, Really?

My main phero of the night was Panther with some additional cops. He liked the fragrance a lot! But with the failure to feel the more “first person” kinds, I’m wondering if he detected any of these either.

I’m diggin’ my Panther❤️

I got my bottle and tried it out immediately. From reading the reviews here, I knew to expect something unusual. 

It really seemed to take me back to my preteen years, when the warm days were starting to get shorter, and Mom’s curfew was nightfall. So I’d walk home in warm Autumn sunsets at a time of evening when traffic is quieting down, families are together at home, dinner is ready.

I refreshed it and wore it to bed. I’d wake from time to time, notice it’s gentle aroma again, and it was very comfy.

Very nice.

Hope I’m not a heretic, but I added what I had left of the sample vial of Cougar to my Panther spray and let it rest a few days. 

Not sure if that was enough to make a difference, or if it aged, or if it just grew on me, but I really like it. 

I also want to know what “sparkle” means in this case. When I first got it, it gave me tingles, almost to the point of feeling chilly! Or does “sparkle” refer to a note in its fragrance?

Although they both contain honey as a note, Sugared Honeycomb does not contain musk or amber.

Now I have nothing on why this is. I thought musks were the issue. 

I love this. I’m so sensitive to a lot of musks but I keep trying. The smell of this was so goood and I am so used to things that smell like this giving me a headache. But it didn’t! Mmm... Does anyone know why this musk is kind to me while Sugared Honeycomb (and many others) is less than kind? I actually bought samples of Sugared Honeycomb and OCCOSLF at the same time and tried both, one on each hand. It was totally surreal how a headache emerged and followed the SH hand around, increasing when it’s close, easing as I held it away in the air current, disappearing when I washed it off. 

OCCOSLF is definitely on my (short)list dark musky scents.

Sometimes I go straight to FB, I've been lucky each time so far. I like the notes listed here, the choice of LFM, the pretty label, and I’m thinking FB...

I’m specifically looking for an LFM spray - dare I? 

And a roller of Open Arms as well as an UN Open Windows. My plan was to mix the UN 1000mcg with the Open Arms 333mcg together, then replace back into their two roller bottles - voila! Two bottles of 666(?) strength Open Windows but with half the amount of scent! Midway between an UN  and a regular Open Arms.

i guess my very favorites come down to the simplest self-effects kinds like Open Windows and Balm Balm. 

Mmmm... just delivered. It’s Driveby Fruiting the rest of the evening!

ETA - I want to drown in this.

Ooo this sounds amazing... I’m getting a trial 

I didn’t know we could do that - is there any more to pre-order? 

Ive got another buttload of stuff coming. I’ll just hit the highlights:

PEs:

Chrissys Autumn Halo

Trinas Summer Skies

Charmed Chiara

A Threebie featuring EGG

A Threebie of Totems

A Threebie featuring Wink at the Moon

Driveby Fruiting w/1000mcg Open Windows

And best of all, a custom request for a 1000mcg boosted version of my current love, Peace and Calm.

Hmmm... ever get the feeling you’re being watched? Popularity potion FB is listed again?

You can always set up a trade page for scents that don't work for you.  

Sounds like a good idea.

I may need to get another Lady McBeth. I’m finding that the dark musky scents usually give me headache. But LMcB doesn’t! How can anyone resist a perfume with a label featuring the Lady holding a dagger?

Im collecting a small bag of wonderful fragrances that smell fabulous, until the next second where I get punched with a headache. Luxurious (I was so sad about this one, it was my very first LPMP love, I didn’t realize my sensitivity until after I FBed it), Devilish Thoughts (also FB), Always a Lady (FB from a Threebie), Laloo and Sugared Honeycomb (I am now appreciating the need to buy trial sizes first).

Ah, no. I only got a pherotine sized one, myself, lol. May I ask how you mix? 

Oh! I had my eye on the FB with the Star on the front. Seriously , as soon as I put it back, it couldn’t be found 2 hours later when my 2nd thoughts decided I really really want it. I have a phertine sized Popularity, and I like how I feel with it. Funny how, if you pay attention, you can feel you brain waves change with approx 3 deliberate whiffs. Confidence and feeling like my stage awaits! Not sure if others see me that way, but whatever. This is mostly for me! La Fem Mystere gives me a really nice feeling too.

i don’t really have a technique for mixing, i look to this group for info like that. For my little 5ml bottle I put 3ml of Lady MacBeth and 2ml of Sexology. I guess that puts it close to the recommended strength.

My Popularity Potion just came in, can't wait to try it. I also got Sunshine of your Love, Lilela and Rainbow Mango. 

OMG - was that the very same last bottle that I put in my cart 3 times, but edited it out each time I finalized? I came back for it later that same day - seriously this time - and it was gone?... snooze ya lose, right? So I got another Phertine-sized one until the restock. 

ETA - You seem to like similar frangrances as me, too!

Omg those are beautiful!!! I want them. Pretty sure I won’t use them though. Lol. But I still want them.

Ive been using them to put the pherotine-size trials in. I figure they’ll also be nice for mixing small amounts of, say, Lady MacBeth and Sexology (mmmm!)

I’m 5 years out from weight loss surgery (Gastric Sleeve - I highly recommend). You go through stages, first you don’t care that you are unable to eat, the weight is flying off! After the weight is off, there’s a certain frustration at getting full on 5 - 10 bites. The next stage (currently) is losing interest in food altogether. I have a tendency to get too thin now.

I never expected beautiful fragrances would fill the void. At first I thought it was the pheromones, but realized the un-pheroed scents satisfy too. 

I keep my entire collection of LPs in my nightstand. I start with something on one wrist, a bit later something else on the next wrist, and it’s similar to the joy of snacking I said goodbye to so long ago. I am enthralled. 

I typically wash my wrists at least once during the evening to start over with 2 other frangrances/pheros. Going through the pheros Balm Bomb and Open Windows mostly, and I’m selecting more non-pheroed than I expected to. I really like reading the descriptions and seeing if I can visualize the far away places described. 

And the PEs! It’s fun that the site is so interactive and Mara’s customers can mingle and share favorites and advice. She was really on to something when she started this 10(?) years ago. 

Got an overnight date tomorrow with my FwB, I plan on testing out Panther w/Cougar for my arrival, and Lady MacBeth w/UNSexology later, with some OCCO SLF down below, and 1969 w/Open Windows the next morning. Spritz him with either Open Windows or Balm Balm 60/40 because I like those two so much, I’m sure he’d like to try one or both. I also bought him a bottle of Pashazade, I hope he likes! 

Hi Eve, thanks! And a Welcome to you too!

Now that I have worn this for a few hours, it has magically transformed to a rich golden cashmere scarf wrapped around you for a Autumn walk in the brisk air just like I described to Mara. It's definitely more foodie than before and the amber is a bit on the perfumey side. Very nice. Sophisticated but playfully yummy. Quite the morpher! Well done Mara!

So glad to hear the cashmere scarf in the Autumn air came into bloom after a rest. Looking forward to trying! I really like the label art too.

I think I got the last bottle. There’s always so many things I want, and so many things that get left behind.

Yesterday I decided Chrissy’s Autumn Halo is finally coming home to me, and Whoa, it was no longer listed. Got it just in time!

I just saw the cutest 3ml roller bottles on Amazon

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0736JQBCW/ref=pe_3444240_283524990_em_1p_3_im

I didn’t believe the travel shock thing. But then I retried Panther. I wasnt sure about it in the beginning, but it’s great now.
