  1. I hope I spelled that right! Is alpha-nol just short for alpha androstenol? I was playing with some ā€˜weenie samples from last year and pulled out Weenie Roast with alpha-nol. Itā€™s the same stuff thatā€™s in Topper right? An everyone/unisex phero?
  2. I didnā€™t get this oneā€¦and I donā€™t know why because for some reason I canā€™t stop thinking about it! Iā€™m usually more of a dark, musky sometimes floral girl, sometimes fruits if theyā€™re creamy also but usually not apple. Iā€™m really looking forward to your thoughts on it though!
  3. I canā€™t wait for reviews of Reliquary! Iā€™m not a fan of apples but something about this is really staying on my mind!
  4. Oh my gosh, me too!! How did I miss this?!?! I love heliotrope and skin scentish scents! This really sounds dreamy.
  5. It was so good!! It was actually the first fragrance that made me a pumpkin hoe, bakery type pumpkins are are a weakness and Mara does them sooo well!šŸ¤¤ I did good and just got a few samplesā€¦for now!šŸ˜ˆ
  6. Seeing Pink Pumpkin made me go searching for my last remaining sample of Pink Pumpkin Witch! Donā€™t know if itā€™s similar but I loved it so much. It wasnā€™t where I thought it was so now I cannot rest until I find it!!šŸ˜‚ I canā€™t really afford to be as excited as I am for some of these.šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļøšŸ˜‚
  7. @OnyxI just got TopperšŸ„³ and Iā€™m going to wear it with everything, hopefully that will help. Teddy is also a great one for selfies for me, so both should give me the boost I need to get out there and find a new purpose! So the seaweed had the opposite effect for me than it did for you! My right arm, with the extra seaweed, I canā€™t smell at all this morning. Body chemistry man, itā€™s such a weird thing.
  8. Oh good @Onyx! I was going to ask you if youā€™d gotten your seaweed yet! I havenā€™t been brave enough to try mine yet just because of the wet in the vial smell. Iā€™ll definitely give it a go though, that sounds promising and I need something to kick me out of this funk and out of the house!
  9. So Iā€™ve had this on for the last 2 almost 3 days and I can still smell it on arms and clothes! The shelter I work at is being taken over by another county and I canā€™t work with them anymore (their euthanasia policies are way different than ours) so I havenā€™t left the house, Iā€™m jobless and a little depressed at the moment. I applied it in the bend of my elbows and on my stomach, probably just three times maybe, and even through sleeping I can still smell it! Itā€™s been a wonderful reminder of my happy place and the comfort Iā€™ve needed these last few days. @Potion Master Thank you so much for the way you put this together so masterfully šŸ™šŸ¼šŸ„°
  10. @july_girlMaybe the cardamom is what Iā€™m addicted to smelling and trying to figure out! Midnight Cravings was the first fragrance that I bought multiples of, so I meant the comparison in the best way. This really is so delicious! Thanks for creating this blend!šŸ™šŸ¼
  11. @OnyxThat does sound nice! A bubblegum orchid sounds really cool! Iā€™ve been blaming and avoiding orchid this whole time not realizing itā€™s probably the dirty honey Iā€™m amping. I know thereā€™s no honey in this. I do think thatā€™s my only experience with orchid so I may have to ignore the pleading of my bank account and give this one a try! It wouldnā€™t be the first time weā€™ve argued and itā€™s lost.šŸ˜‚
  12. So I wore this over a little occo:vanilla and somehow it made it saltier! After I smelled the vial of seaweed, I was able to recognize it in the fragrance but the occo somehow brought it out even more. Maybe itā€™s the cops? Idk, i havenā€™t tried it with unscented cops yet but I do have sheer essence so Iā€™ll try that and see, thatā€™s a pretty easy one to cover since itā€™s sheer.
  13. Iā€™m hoping, for the ā€˜weenies this year, for something with a fresh bread note, maybe a buttery croissant. šŸ¤¤ I want to say there was a scent years ago with a bread note?šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø Not really halloween inspired, just fall-ish I guess. And I do not have anything that smells like fresh bread so I think it would be so delicious and exciting!šŸ¤—
  14. The orchid in Carbon Black was too much for me, I canā€™t even fully explain why. How does the orchid in this compare to that one, if youā€™re familiar? Iā€™ve seen so much love for this from basically everyone, so Iā€™m really arguing with myself whether I want to try it or not before it sells out and I miss out again! I hate fomošŸ˜‚ I just re-read the description for Carbon Black and see the ā€œdirty honeyā€ listed, maybe thatā€™s why this one didnā€™t work for me and itā€™s not the orchid at all!
  15. How is the Palo Santo in this? I *love* Palo Santo but the apple gave me pause. Apple goes wonky on me every dang time! @raydee8_loveThats great! I am the total opposite of dominant so Iā€™ve always been afraid to try this phero. Like it would just make embarrassingly obvious the fact that Iā€™m trying to be something Iā€™m not. Itā€™s cool that you were able to stand your ground!
  16. Thank you @Onyx! I donā€™t have a man to try this on but Iā€™m going to let my uncle try it the next time I see him. He usually smells like spicy soap so I think he would like it. I think the clove is too much for my cat, he would not come near me and usually heā€™s my little weighted blanket.šŸ˜‚
  17. Something about this burns my nose a bit but I could see this being devastating on a gentleman. Iā€™m picturing ā€œthe most interesting man in the worldā€ Or Captain Lee from Below Deck. Itā€™s very debonair.
  18. This is really cute! A little masculine for me at first, definitely like a cologne, but the dry down is sweet and soft. Still masculine leaning but it gets so soft. I think the description of a young boys first cologne is perfect and I could totally picture my nephew wearing this! Heā€™s quiet and sweet in his group of friends and heā€™s definitely the girls favorite. Heā€™s just 13, and he said ā€œthe boys are mean to the girls so Iā€™m just their friendā€ Heā€™s such a sweet kid. I will give him my little trial and see if he likes it.
  19. Itā€™s been about an hour and the pp has gone and the tuberose is finally coming to the front, with the honey. Itā€™s smooth and rich like I love and the honey is soft also but staying sweet (I amp dirty honeys like crazy) I donā€™t know enough about tonka to know if Iā€™m smelling it or not but I think the sandalwood is keeping this smooth so the ingredients that donā€™t usually like me are all playing very nicely! @OnyxThis would be so perfect for an adult night out!
  20. I just applied this one! The label is beyond gorgeous, so I wanted to try it just for that! But prickly pear usually doesnā€™t agree with me so I am really happy Mara included a sample of this to try. Immediately Iā€™m getting honey and the prickly pear so weā€™ll see how it changes after awhile, I hope the tuberose comes out because itā€™s so rich (on me) and just makes me feel like a glamorous grown up lady! So far though the prickly pear is not as sharp as it usually is so I think thatā€™s a good startšŸ‘šŸ¼
  21. Oh wow, I am so glad you guys love this as much as I do! It was created from a day very personal to me so I love that it resonates with you too! No one has asked me what Iā€™m wearing yet and Iā€™m dying for them to askšŸ˜‚ I guess Iā€™m not really diffusing this very far, it is a ā€œpersonal bubbleā€ type of scent on me but Iā€™m not mad at that, itā€™s like a special moment just for me.šŸ„°
  22. Oh good, I didnā€™t want to be too greedy!šŸ˜‚ I tried messaging you too and got the same message. Monoi Tiki Tahiti makes a really good product, if Iā€™m allowed to say that here. I tried it first from eBay but then tried to find more authentic places to get it. I donā€™t know where to get my favorite sunscreen anymore, I got it from a little swim shop and canā€™t find it anywhere online.
  23. July Girl's Rhapsodic Exotic Label Image by July Girl with AI A hypnotic array of deep, exotic amber and musk attars, swirled with dark and caramelized sugars, with a sprinkling of cardamom on top. I need someone else to review this, who is a little better with their words than me, because all I can say about this is that I love it! Itā€™s not quite as dark as I was expecting but it is, Iā€™ll say shadyšŸ˜Ž, and definitely exotic! To me itā€™s sweet gourmand and just delicious! Not a typical gourmand, itā€™s got something else that Iā€™m addicted to sniffing and trying to figure out. It sort of reminds me of Midnight Cravings, if anyone is familiar with that, but the dry down is smoother. Itā€™s giving ā€œwhat smells so good?!? Oh! Itā€™s me!ā€ Not in your face at all like some of the darker scents can do on me, itā€™s soft and delicious and mysterious. Itā€™s a win!
