I WISH i could get some resins from this. The second i got it on my skin, the honey jumped out and said, "Hey!!! How YOU doin'?" This was not unexpected, as i tend to amp most honeys except in the rarest of circumstances. But for the record, in the vial, it was a very nice, darkly sweet resin and honey blend. It actually reminded me a bit more of LP Red than black, and i know there's not a lick of cinnamon in this. This is so dark and sexy, I know the resin ladies will love it. (Dolly, I'm looking at you, girlfriend!) I might try to see what sugar I can add to help me wear this, because I want to be a Dom Noir, too!

Agreed. Very similar to the 2012 version. (Disclaimer: I haven't smelled the original.) The sandalwood in 2012 is very "in your face." It blooms on me, which is nice, because i don't have to use much at all. Here, it is very subtle. I feel like I could slather this one just fine. Like Halo said, the tobacco blends well in this, whereas it was just a titch more pronounced in the 2012. I feel like they are similar enough for me to not need a new bottle, but I will let the Marine have a go of this. my spidey sense tells me this will suit him better.

This is sweet, pink and girlish. My first thought when I smelled this was actually jelly beans, that's how sweet it was, but I quickly noticed the orchid. It is soft and velvety, and the peony is a tart kiss on top. I love the butter note in this. It's very rich. Not quite like how rich it was in Pumpkin Souffle last year, but richer than it typically appears. It really ties things together. And the musk is a wonderful skin like one. it doesn't morph much on me. It's been wearing pretty much the same since i put it on just after 6a this morning, and it wears close to the skin. Very pretty!

The apple in this doesn't read as apple on my skin. It's just tart, bright, and when blended with the apricot, juicy. The freesia is velvety soft and keeps the scent from being too fruit forward. I don't detect any honey at all, but there is a skin-like quality about this that I think must be the honey-musk combo. It's very girlish, but there's something underneath that's very earth-motherish. Love it!

Bingo on the Pirate Bumbo!

My first thought was that this smelled a lot like a lighter Glass Slipper with a bit of coconut. The floral notes were just a titch stronger than i would have enjoyed. But like MDC said, this is a morpher. It gets deeper and richer as time goes on. I get more coconut and fruit. Three hours in, and it's absolutely perfect. I sometimes have trouble with honey, but it's light, natural, and vaguely floral as opposed to smutty. It blends seamlessly with the musk. The scent sophisticatedly sexy, perfect for LFM.

Perfect Match has more of the warm-fuzzy bonding vibes. When i wear it with my guy, we talk a lot, and it's like the verbal equivalent of cuddling. Soulmate though...man. There's just this feeling of intense connectedness. When I'm wearing this and my guy looks at me, it's like he's staring into the depths of my soul. I don't know if it's a self effect of the phero making me feel that way or if it's making him look at me that way or some combination of the two. Either way, the intensity of Soulmate is much more than that of Perfect Match.

(scented) Cuddle Bunny was in the women's sampler set I ordered. "Clean" scents don't seem to work all that well with my body chemistry, but there was something about Cuddle Bunny which drew me to it nonetheless. My initial reaction to the fragrance was that it reminded me of laundry detergent. This is not an insult, as doing laundry is my "favorite" household chore--I just love the smell of clean clothes and sleeping on freshly laundered sheets.

 

It's strange because while the description seems to indicate it is a floral-based scent, the combination of the notes doesn't give off a heavy floral vibe. I can detect (at least some of) the different florals, but none of them predominate--it's just very balanced and clean with a dash of citrus.

 

That said, for me, it is a strong fragrance, and it lasts for hours. It mellowed out a bit somewhere around the 3-4 hour mark, but the scent was still unmistakeably Cuddle Bunny. This is one I will probably have to apply with a light hand so as not to overpower (I have a more sensitive sense of smell than most). I do find the fragrance relaxing, so I decided to wear it before bed the other night and I feel asleep quickly, which is really nice as I have periodic bouts of insomnia.

 

The next morning I got up to go work out. I'm always running late, so I literally put on my workout clothes, brushed my teeth and left. When I arrived at the gym, the three ladies at the front desk greeted me enthusiastically. They are all very nice, and they do say hello to everyone, but it's usually just one person. This was the first time everyone greeted me at once--they practically did it in unison. lol. What was really funny though, was one of them stopped me and said, "I have to tell you, you just have the most gorgeous hair!" Yes, she complimented my tangled up mass of curls bed head. lol. While I was in the locker room, I remembered putting on Cuddle Bunny the previously night. I wonder if I'm going to turn out to be one of those women for whom cops make other women friendlier instead of turned off/unfriendly?

I'm just now seeing this. Was it just the three women at the desk? Any males within smelling distance? I had a similar experience at the dentist some years back. Cuddle Bunny is a consistent hit with women for me...but only when there were absolutely no men present. No other male patients, no male dentist. Someone pointed this out to me on this board somewhere. Sure enough, when I went in for my fillings, i tried to replicate it. The women weren't catty, but the obvious pheromone induced effect was gone. But my dentist (a male) couldn't do enough for me! Just another interesting effect to watch as you're testing your new goodies!!!!

The unscented SAMPLE size pheros are available through December. Full sized bottles are available all year long.

Nothing to add really, but phergineer, i love that image! You'll have to show us your work sometime! There's an area in the off topic section where people can display their wares!

Is this an actual thing? Because if it's not, it needs to be...

 

Ha! not that i know of! I think v was just talking about my early cry "DOM THEM ALL"

Yes, there needs to be! It should have peonies and pink sugar...and then a touch of leather to show 'em who's boss. (The note, not the phero since it will also contain copious amounts of Dom.)

 

Hmmm... that might point arrows directly to me But I'll figure it out.

There's a long time until May, as long as I don't see her until then, I should be fine. Plus, maybe she'll get herself a boyfriend and I could care less at that point.

I have not brought her up anymore...

 

My main concern now is how to deal with his family and friends (let's assume the woman this thread has been about will not be there). Given that I am an introvert, I do close off in large crowds, especially with people I don't know very well. As I mentioned before, he would like me to behave like myself, because that's how he portrays me to them - and I shut down and become uncomfortable. I get irritated or simply uninterested in chit-chat. I have a really hard time contributing to that. When I'm with him, my family or my close friends - no issue, I open up. But we also don't talk about the weather...

He says people can see it in my body language I do not want to be there...

 

So, what do you recommend I wear - for Thanksgiving dinner, and when I am out with his friends, so I can be more open and interact more? I don't need to be the life of the party, but I would like to be less up tight. His family is really nice to me, no issues there. I just don't feel close to them.

Open Windows works great in making those around me talk, but not so much on me.

I've also used a Topper wax melt once, but I did not notice chatty effects on me. It made me seem a little more uplifted, yes.

I've tried Lumina once, but I was with my own friends, so I was already pretty comfortable in that setting.

 

Thank you!

The feeling of closeness will take time to develop, and I'm not sure that a phero can force it before it happens on its own. It can help with barriers so that you can get there, however, and I would totally recommend Perfect Match for that. If you noticed selfies with Lumina, I'd go for that all the way and not assume it was jsut because you were with your friends. I mean, it may turn out to be the case, but it's worth a shot. Do you think if you were more relaxed you'd be talkative? If so, then I'd go with the Balm Bomb or B2 Halo recommended. Last but not least is TMI. It has beta nol in it. I'd focus it in places where it will have more of an impact on you.

Eggers is spitting gold right there!!! I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's not him that you don't trust. You know and love him and know he feels the same. It's probably her you don't trust because you don't know her and she's playing these games. I think what he's hearing is you don't trust him, even if it's not what you mean. I would back off that angle for a bit. I think you made excellent grounds with your conversation, even if it didn't go exactly as planned. But as Donsie said, there is some recognition on his part. That is a win! I'm liking your plan of not cleaning the bathroom. You can explain that it's not penance; it's common courtesy for him to clean up after his pig of a house guest.

Chin up, dear. This, too, shall pass!

Ooooh, yes, Communication Potion if it's available. it's phenomenal.

BlueBear - that's one of the things that got my fiance and I fighting yesterday. I said - "ok, I'm not happy with this, but she can stay with us... as long as our plans do not change tomorrow" and then I brought up the fact that I am not too happy with how close they are... Well, he did not take that very well. "I don't understand what in my character would even make you think I'd disrespect you in such a way?! She just wants to be your friend, and you keep pushing her away! What did she do to you to make you dislike her so much? Yes she put her stuff on your art work last time, but she did not do it on purpose! It's like you do not want to help people unless you get something out of it" Which is not true... He knows I go out of my way for people, but not if I feel they take advantage of me, which this is what this situation feels like. She had a place to stay on Friday night, but then she claimed it was too far from the airport and asked if she can crash at our place Saturday night. So my fiance said she'd be out in the morning, taking a cab to the airport... Riiiiight... Our entire day today was spent around her schedule, and taking her to the airport. And now I have to clean up!!!

 

 

Phergineer, my spidey sense is telling me that your guy is like mine. He is probably completely oblivious to her in the romantic sense. She's not even a blip on his radar. And that's a good thing for your relationship. He only has eyes for you! But I say it all over this dang board because it's true--bitches...be...trippin'. And based off your update post, this one certainly is. And because these super sweet, oblivious guys don't see this, it makes you look like the crazy/jealous/paranoid person. How long has he known her? Longer than you? Growing up, i was always best friends with guys, and it was always a little weird when they got girlfriends. i got jealous even when i had absolutely no romantic interest in them! Only difference is that I didn't do anything, and this girl is, albeit a little passive agressively.

So based on this, i think i will alter my phero recommendation. This situation took awhile to develop and will take awhile and several pheros to fix. I think empathy potion will be good when you discuss this chick with your boyfriend. Agreed with Halo that the Balm Bomb will be good to relax you. I'm sure this is crazy stressful. This chick putting her clothes all over your artwork, in your closet, and leaving her damn panties on the sink...this is like she is going into your apartment and peeing all over the place! I think she needs something to show that you are the alpha female in this situation. My first thought--and phero gurus, let me know what you think-- is Leather. I used to have some difficulites with my old female supervisor, and this one did the trick. My voice was sweet as pie, but my demeanor and phero signature said, "This is how it's going to be." Then I think later, after this is sorted out, you'll have to work on building a congenial relationship (because unless she blatantly comes on to your boyfriend or does something extremely heinous, you'll probably have to put up with her). Treasured Hearts or Perfect match might be good for that.

ETA: I got so worked up over this trick in your house, I didn't think to add that Balm Bomb might be good at keeping you relaxed during the whole in-law visit.

I can't comment on the MLH since I haven't given it a proper try, but I agree with Hearts on this. I don't think your feelings are unreasonable. This chick is putting her clothes in your closet and on your artwork? Nuts!! Anyhow, I agree that Empathy potion would be good.

On the other hand...could this girl have a thing for him?

Luna, the Living Doll writing is almost like a song!! Love it!!! (Love everything!!)

Kudos, team LP!

I'm at work, so I haven't gotten a chance to read Luna's descriptions, but I have read the notes. I suspected Pirouette and Beautiful Dreamer were up my alley, and I was right. As are Ladybird and Living Doll!! Can't wait for my sampler to get here.

I got a sampler and two phero samples: Treasured Hearts and Heart and Soul.

Here's your official welcome!!

Welcome!!!

 

I ended up going with Popularity Potion, I read this too late... I can't say it was the best decision. I may have OD-ed. I felt very uneasy. There were only 6 of us at the table, and I wasn't able to take part of the conversation much. I felt out of place. I usually love PopPotion, but this time it just didn't work. People were almost contradicting me whenever I was saying something.

Definitely sounds like how I feel when I OD on it!! I can only wear it in minute amounts to get the desired effects.

I would go with Open Windows. Something too sexy could make the women more competitive.

This!!!! Especially the bolded part. Open Windows is perfect for what you're describing, and I also had sucess with it during the early days with my guy just because it does encourage open communication. Check out the Open Windows threads (there are actually two) for stories. http://lovepotion.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=2586&page=1 and http://lovepotion.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=3236&page=1

Love the labels!!!!!!!!! And excited to hear more about Mega Watt. I have a feeling that Pirouette and Beautiful Dreamer are up my alley!

Welcome back!!!

Awesome! Thanks!

This is floral and beautiful! Smells like a fine perfume. It is a soft, velvety white scent and not too sweet. The boy said I smell like sunshine. I get it. It does smell like a spring day. I'd love to try this with sugared white musk and maybe the sugared Linen. (Did that end up happening?)
