Gah that's a loaded phrase to label a topic with around here...

Why Beccah, I don't know what you mean

It's not a LPMP phero. Diane's Summer Breeze is something I've found to take the edge off tension.

Non-pheromonally, just practising will help. If you are prepared, and KNOW that you are well prepared, it will give you more confidence. Be in the moment and focus on doing, not on the consequences.

Good luck!

Darn you Snoopyace, your enthusiasm entices me to try so many things!

Sigh... OK Mark's Tonka Tobacum and Girl's Nips go on the wishlist...

"you smell like hookah"

That's very rude, but at least he didn't tell you that you dressed like a hookah.

I absolutely love LPMP, I got my first order of LP Red and Sugared Honeycomb and can't stop myself from ordering again and again!

Another addict!

Greek, huh? I often have Greeks asking me if I am Greek, but so far as I know I'm Irish/English/Scottish. Welcome.

From my six-year-old daughter 'Coco': "This smells like toast."

Do you like it?

"Yes!"

So Toasted Coconut passes Coco's toast taste test

Well, the three girl's samples went to my six-year-old daughter who thought they smelled nice. She's not a girly-girl, so she wasn't hugely impressed but still liked them. Next order I'll get a girl's sample or two for my niece, who is the girliest girl I've ever met. Loves to dress like a fairy and all that. Direct quote: "Don't my toenails look pretty!" I think any foody, sweet-smelling perfume will be a very popular gift

Besides the neroli smell that I just can't get into, with all respect, I feel like the pheros are a bit ... clumsy? primitive?

Forceful, perhaps? I think they are designed to get obvious hits. It's a more male environment over there (in my opinion) and us guys can be pretty oblivious to body language and non-verbal communication. I personally tend to miss stuff that would be slap-in-the-face-with-a-large-fish obvious to an average woman. So I don't notice much in the way of hits with any pheros that I have tried. Although I haven't tried any LPMP phero mixes yet.

Ah hah, I have discovered your secret identity from the Pherotalk boards! Your avi gave you away I do enjoy reading your blog over there.

Tyvey, that's a cute name for your S.O.! As long as his mates don't find out. "Hey, get me a beer, 'Sugared Gingerbread'!" *snicker*

I keep looking around and I'm finding more and more scents/phero blends that I want to try! (I'm so so sorry, bank account.)

QFT!

Didn't see a review thread anywhere else...

I got a sniffie vial of this by mistake with my last order, so I decided to try a dab of it on my hand just to see what it was like. Sniffing it I accidentally got some on the end of my nose.

Wet, the first thing I thought of was "creme caramel". With something really sweet over the top of it. Dry, I can get the tartness of the wild strawberries/blackcurrants (wild fruit is not nearly as sweet as the kind you get in the stores) overlaid by a sweet smell and a bit of the rose.

On me, it's reeeeallly sweet, but I amp sweet scents for some reason. I even get a bit of sweetness from Thane, for example. I think I would find this one too sweet on a woman, if it smelled the same way on her as it does on me. However, I know that a lot of the ladies here like to smell like food, and you'd probably enjoy this one if you do.

The kittens sing, "We are your overlords". Yes, kittens are the overlords of most of the LP community it seems

Ehhh, I wouldn't worry about it too much. LPMP seems to be constantly coming up with kewl stuff. It's like buses, you miss one another will be along soon

beta-androstenone I haven't heard of. Androstenone is, as far as I know, a pheromone produced by bacterial action on the skin, it gets converted from androstenol in sweat. It is supposed to trigger sexual arousal in females and can trigger aggressive or aversive behaviour in other males. Seems to signal, "I have a high testosterone level, and I am a threat either sexually or physically". At least when a male wears it. It also triggers mating behaviour in female pigs, a sow will 'assume the position' when exposed to androstenone. They will also follow rags soaked with androstenone. There is some debate as to whether it's actually a pheromone in humans, but it does seem to definitely cause reactions.

Yes, I've gotten rather bored of the Androtics neroli. To be fair, Androtics' whole focus is on the pheros and not the scent, to them the neroli's just a carrier to get the pheros to someone's nose. I came here because I want the phero effects and to smell good.

I've tried two of the perfumes here so far, Thane and Down & Dirty. I like what I've got so far, and the price was right. (Check out the sale!)

Tezza, you are PRICELESS!

 

My BF is writing a Viking novel, so I gave this to him to wear for inspiration.

 

The forum ladies designed this one last summer - they did a great job on picking the notes, yeah?

Yes, it is a good one. Seems to fade (on me at least) after 6 hours into something sweet, but then, that's what my skin seems to do to everything.

Still the edge of the salt there. I am rather liking this one.

Edit: It's winter here in Sydney right now, but this would be a good hot-weather scent. Stinking hot Sydney Summer would be the perfect time to wear something with a bit of sea spray and brrr! to it.

Just got my first order. Thane and Down & Dirty For Men. I have posted my impressions of Thane and D&D4M in the relevant threads. Liking them both so far.

Received free samples of Kovvy's Limeindacoconut, May's Dessert Dream, and Invidiana's Coconut Donut. These other three seem to be three different takes on coconut scent, as far as I can tell. I eat coconut in chocolate, and cook with the oil for health reasons, however I don't think I'd wear it myself. I'll give them a sniff and review them and perhaps give them to someone deserving if I can find a good home for them.

When I wear this I get a vague image of an old fashioned bar, with a dark wood floor. Smell of whiskey and, not cigarette smoke, but somehow tobacco. Like an upmarket gentleman's club that has fallen in the world and is now a haunt of hardened crims and bent coppers. And a bloke wearing a leather jacket, jeans and biker's boots bellied up to the bar, one foot on the brass rail. He's resting his arm on the bar and his hand is holding a whiskey glass with a pale amber whiskey and two ice cubes in it. Who is he, what's he doing there? Who knows...

When I smell this one I can't say, "wow I smell good" or "delicious" or something like that. But I can't stop smelling it. It doesn't smell good, but it doesn't smell bad either... it smells sort of dirty, it smells like a tough guy that a woman would get pash rash off of and like it, it smells intriguing.

[pash rash = the rash a woman gets from making out with ('pashing') a guy who hasn't shaved for a couple of days]

Thane... when I first sniffed this one on my skin, I got a visual image of a sailboat, in bright sunlight on blue water, sails bellied out with the breeze, heeled over to one side, moving fast, foam at the bow. I'm not sure where that came from but I think it must be the salt spray scent, somehow it made me think of Sydney Harbour. (Does anyone else get the LPMP scents evoking memories or images like this??) There's also the steel in there and something almost sweet I can't identify. Overall it's a sort of sharp, bracing, "Brrrr!" scent, that makes me want to go conquer something. Be a good one for work I think, especially in a high-powered environment, where you're aggressive or competitive. "Plunder their women, rape the houses, burn their gold! Or something!"

I have a "friend" who is a Hit Stealer with or without pheromones.

As a man, I have noticed that women often used the word "friend" to apply to people that a man would use the phrase, "diabolical super-villain arch-nemesis" to describe.

More trivia: "Mack" is an old term for "pimp". As in a person who earns his living by forcing women into prostitution. I think it's an American term, as I've never heard it used by Aussies or Poms. Although the use of the word "pimp" in American usage seems to have changed since I was growing up, it now seems to refer to someone who is simply very good at seducing women.

And Liz (my actual name) would still be Lizzzzzzzzzzz.....sigh. I always get the short end of the stick.

I suppose you could reverse the process and change it to Lirry.

OMG you totally read my mind! I hadn't read that theory. I was basing mine on the earlier theory of lack of test. & the prevalence & acceptance of homosexuality in the asian community ( huge consumers of soy).

That's cultural. Homosexuality is a criminal offense in some Asian countries, for example China. In other places, it's more accepted. I don't think there's any evidence that homosexuality is more prevalent in Asian countries than in Western countries.

Also, while many Asian countries consume a lot of soy, they eat tofu and other fermented soy foods. Fermentation is an ancient process which removes a lot of the nasty chemicals in plant foods. Soy "milk" still contains those, along with a lot of nasty, nasty other chemicals, including naturally occurring POISONS that the plant uses to protect itself from things that want to eat it*. Soy lacks important nutrients. Children have died from being given soy milk instead of infant formula by misguided parents.

Soy has never been approved for human consumption by the FDA. Say 'noy' to soy!

Someone also mentioned gay men being "talented" - there seems to be some link between the brain developments that cause homosexuality and musical talent. Apparently also affects the relative finger length of the first and third fingers, but I don't have a link.

*So does wheat, which is why so many people are sensitive to wheat gluten.

HI Tezza - what a cool nickname! There's plenty here in good smellies, I am a "perfumista" and Love Potions is my latest addiction. I have the same problem, I want to buy so many more than I can afford. I love men's scents on me, too!

 

Sara

Thanks Sara. "Tezza" is a bit of an Australianism. R's become Z's and an A is added on the end. So Barry becomes Bazza, Sharon becomes Shazza.

I smell like a well-worn cane. Not sexy.

I'm sure there are blokes who'd love you to wear out a cane on him...

Might try this myself (the perfume, not the caning).
