This report will be written continuously, "live stream" style:

3pm: 1 big spray split between wrists w/Christine's Yin Ylang. In case it matters, Aunt Flo is visiting and causing me some mild lower back pain (which she occasionally does), but none of the self-pity and wiped-out exhaustion I more often get.

Possibly not an ideal testing moment, as right after I put it on, my dog started screaming, so I'm taking him to the vet-- I think his back is hurting -- he's had this happen before, but I am little freaked out.

Initially, slightly woozy. 5min in: feel a bit hyper-aware of senses: people seem louder, colors seem brighter, seems like my eyesight has sharpened. (?!)

I feel like everyone's looking at me... possibly because I'm looking around for reactions and they're like "why are you darting your eyes around like that like a cornered cat", lol.

Ok, I'm definitely not imagining it- people are looking at me. It feels like in Inception in the Paris level where everyone suddenly is staring at Leo and Ellen. Not hostile, not Cougar-worshipful, not CB luv, not even curiosity -- just looking, sort of objectively, like I'm a lab rat & they are watching to see what I do next. Both men and women, though slightly more men I think.

It occurs to me that it's possible people are looking at me a normal amount and my "raised alertness"-feeling is just making me notice it more...I can't be sure which it is, obviously.

Having a hard time judging the self-effect due to my anxiety about the dog.

After I've had it on for an hour, meeting up with mom. I feel a bit more willing than usual to say nice things to her / appease her (I am semi-/sub-consciously mad at her about a lot o things which makes me shamefully impatient and brusque with her) -- not sure that has anything to do with the phero? I am waving it under her nose now to see what happens.

We are now both yapping uncontrollably. We are both generally anxious people but we seem to be taking the dog problem very well in stride relative to our normal tendencies.

VERY NOTICEABLE EFFECT: often my mom is sort of visibly not paying attention to what I'm saying, and interrupts me a lot. SHE IS LETTING ME FINISH MY SENTENCES *AND* LISTENING TO THE CONTENTS OF WHAT IM SAYING!!

I *think* it may be making me feel more charitable/tolerant/less snap-judgment-y about people.

Now going on 3 hours in, feeling sort of cooperative and Focus-y, cleaning house efficiently and without as much angst as usual (I reaaaaaaaaally hate cleaning). That may just be giddiness over the other effects.

Mine has arrived! I'm studiously avoiding reading any other posts in this thread so as not to be influenced but will report back soon.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition, sv.

Fascinating result! I *love* hearing about the variations in people's experience with blends...like, pop potion in WTL made me and someone else feel very *haughty* (which PP had never done for me before) -- what scent did you wear your leather with? I wonder if that affected your effect... I have some flavored, will have to experiment w/mine and see if I can produce your same result...

TOO LATE ALREADY "ACCIDENTALLY" REPEATEDLY GOT SOME IN MA MOUF WHILE SCRUBBING FACE

Also I got leather because I was looking for a replacement for IS/A. I loved that stuff and it worked well for me. Any suggestions for a better alternative would be welcome.

Your hit was hilarious! Love it. If you're an Is/A fan (as was I) and Lace (as am I), I'm betting you would also like Flying Potion (or anything else w/straight a-nol) and SS4W.

Halo, at least on me, this one definitely has more presence than Strumpet. It's sassy.

Just checked my bottle and it doesn't list cops as an ingredient either, but I'm quite sure it has cops. It was a PE so there wouldn't have been an un-cop version. I'm sure PM or Luna will speak up if I'm wrong....

Oh, I totally missed the "share here" part :reading comprehension:

Yay I'm honored to participate.

How many trials (minimum) would you like us to report on? (or do you just want us to report on every wearing until we run out, however many that may be?)

Do you prefer we report to you in secret / by email so we aren't influenced by each other's reports?

YAY glad you like but believe me I can't take credit mine has deepened in just the couple weeks (?) I've had it, gotten a bit creamier and sweeter - I would bet you'll find the same...

hands down my fav men's scent

Hey everybody look at lady vic's foxy new avi!

my name is tyvey and I tj. sorry.

OCCO RED IS TEH BOMB

thickly spicy and heady and creamy. phenomenal.

I knew I should have loved it based on what everyone here said about it, but the first time I tried it, it did not smell good on me at all, and smelled 'thin' and faded quickly, and did NOT feel like LP Red at all. I had got it in swap and now can't help suspecting something sketchy happened to it somewhere in its lifespan. Will need bottle straight from LPMP immediately or sooner.

ROFL!! I'll play too!

Do the special situations involve being bored and disrespected at work? I'm in!

Do they involve wanting to foolishly go rebound from a heartbreak willy-nilly? I'm in!

Do they involve wanting to lose weight instantly with no effort or side effects? I'm in!

[Of course please do not feel obligated to respond to such silliness Mara. Just entertaining maself]

I am at your disposal or not, as u wish! xo

I suppose you could also tell us when NOT to wear it, in as limited a way as you can? (eg: do not operate machinery)

ME ME ME ME ME ME ME

You'll probably get more reliable results by giving them to us blind...but OTOH if eg it's like Teddy BB, it'd be good to know not to wear it to an important meeting and doze off Maybe you just tell us the "set of situations"?

Everyone's already described this so well. *Very* upbeat fruit-candy sweetness. Starburst. Reminds of Pixie Dust but w/louder fruitiness. Has similar feel to Sparkle Fuchsia, though not as pink as that (or LP Pink).

I've got to stop trying GGGs - fall in love, can't have tons more This reminded me a lot of Dolly's Dark Side: boldly, overtly, aggressively, IN YOUR FACE SEXY. The cherry and incense are so seamlessly blended. It doesn't even come off that obviously "cherry" to me except for a few seconds wet. Can't take my nose out of the cro of my elbow where I applied. Snoooooorf

You might just be lucky and have chemistry that makes it play nice. Few cops blends continue to smell coppy on me after like 5 minutes tops, except scented cuddle bunny but I am alone in that. Some don't even smell when theyre wet, or even in the vial (eg halo's angelique, dolce far niente). Nom, sigh.

PANIC!!!!!!!!

yah it still wears quite light on me - & mine has cops so boy do I know it! - but I like its filmy sweet veil. Given its notes I also expect it to deepen ! hm, I hope my hand "randomly" falls upon it in my blind grab tomorrow.
