skye

I can't believe i have to update this already: * MRF w/ SS4W * A Regal Confection * Sparkle Fuschia * LP Pink * LP Original Runners-up: * LP Red * LP Black * The Smoking Bun * OCCO Pink

Yea verily. It's all about science.

Oh I like this. I'm getting a lovely buttery vanilla that's really soft and light. Perfect for work. Maybe amped with SWS? ETA: Ok my nose must have been shot from over-testing. Today I'm wearing this alone and I can sense the depth of this now. One moment it's dark Patchouli, the next it's a smooth vanilla with a resinous undertone. No fruit notes at all on me. OMG I love this. I must have a full bottle. ETA: OMG I love this more every second. I just huffed my boobs and I swear if I wasn't at work I'd hunt Shadow down and do unspeakable things to him.

Huh. This turned on me into something slightly off. And why am I smelling saffron? Off to swaps with you.

Thank you Mara. This is why you're the master. (bows)

This does have cops in it right? Was there a NOCO version? I'm only asking because the bottle I just received doesn't have cops listed in the ingredients on the label and I don't smell the cops at all (not that this is a bad thing, I'm just curious).

This was cocoa at first. Straight up dark cocoa. As it dried down, the amber jumped to the front and I kinda went "oh oh". After an hour it's morphed into something sweet but not, hard to explain. Chocolate covered amber maybe? Anyways it's lovely now and will require much slathering and the acquiring of another bottle.

I'll do one up tonight once I go through everything.

LOL LadyV, that's awesome. I do have a sample of this but I'm already pretty alpha (read: one of the guys) so I don't know where I would I ever wear this. I don't really need to dominate the guys I work with, just have them pause long enough to listen to me and SWS and Treasured Hearts seem to give me better results. I think it's time for a swap page.

Congrats guys! (sad face on being in Canada though) I'll just have to make myself feel better with this extra large Tim Horton's coffee.

this is really unusual. I don't get the grapefruit very much but my skin tend to amp honey notes which then turn baby powder (the mysteries of body chemistry again). But since I'm not wearing this for scent but for effects I layered it over OCCO Pink. Now I have a pink honey with an edge of citrus, along the line of Cougar I guess. The linemen were just here and chattier than usual. The HOT One (OMG so hot and so young ... I'm a bad bad cougar) was asking me all sorts of personal questions. Hmmm. Isn't this supposed to be a work blend? Must be the OCCO throwing the test off. I'll have to try this without that. Maybe I need some NOCO pink.

I've had a crazy busy weekend renovating so I'm late to the party as usual but I'd love to volunteer. If you need a crazy-busy single mom with a half-renovated house and a day job that involves a bunch of guys and an anal-retentive stressed-out officemate I'm your girl.

So you're just wearing the pheros with no cover scent? Have no fear, the resident experts will be along short to recommend great covers for cops. As for not liking the smell? I totally understand. I actually have to wear cops far from my face or I get a little queazy. So I put it on my tailbone and on my lower torso/abdomen. I can't have the smell wafting up into my face at all so no cleavage application, no back of the neck. I save those areas for other pheros. So maybe applying it in areas where you can't smell it would be helpful?

Ok I wore my just SS4W beta today. Usually I also wear cops with it but today I wanted to see if there were any social effects. Women. They were totally chatty and friendly and super-helpful. Men were too but I really noticed the difference with women. I suspect that this is the perfect going out blend when I add in the cops because everyone reacts very positively to me and the cops add in the sexy vibe for the guys. Definately a reorder but I think I'll get the oil so the effects last a little longer.

We should set her up with my ex. They sound like soulmates. Completely oblivious to anyone but themselves. Maybe you need to find a protective or banishing blend to wear around her. Maybe wear a little Wall of Protection (or something along that vein) applied with the intent of keeping her away?

Pick cuter wingmen? (heh)

You know women make excellent wingmen. We keep away the ones you don't want, we show other women that you are a great guy by hanging with you and we tastefully walk away without embarassing you when you are making your move. Caveat: Of course this doesn't always work out as intended. Shadow and I have known each other since we were teenagers. As a matter of fact we used to go out but it didn't work out. (Cue the hourglass to indicate 20 years later.) When he and his ex split up after 15 years together myself and a girlfriend of mine offered to take him out, get him liquored up and help him meet some women. A couple of drinks, some dancing, some truth serum (tequila) and a long talk about how he never really got over me and we've been dating even since.

Usually i will try a sample first. If I really like something I will order a bottle and carry the sample with me in my bag for refreshing during the day.

I totally should have added a bottle of LP Pink to my order. (kicks self ... sits on hands ... shows restraint) Must wait until order arrives before ordering again.

Click and squee on Friday for me. Yay! I'm hoping my bottle of OCCO Pink will get here before my sample is empty but that's unlikely.

For me the most over the top cops is Jouir De. YMMV of course. And I get the most hits pairing that with MRF w/ SS4W (the original).

I think it was already mentioned. It doesn't have much of a scent so anything would work.

I ordered OCCO Pink to layer with Sparkle Fuschia and LP Pink as well. And OCCO Red to layer with LP Red and a few of my more resinous scents. I want to try OCCO Black as well but I didn't want to order the entire sampler so I'll have to hope someone has a sample for sale at some point.

Since my order hadn't shipped I went back for samples of Weapon X (based on reviews) and Teddy Man 2 (for the PMS crankiness). I used my forum samples for April already but I suspect there will be a May order later on (sheepish grin). I will need another bottle of The Smoking Bun and hopefully A Regal Confection as well.

This is really smokey on me. Like freshly blown out match smokey. I'm going to hang onto the sample though and try layering it over my bottle of OCCO Red or maybe Beth's Blushing Milkmaid when they arrive and see if I can't sweeten it up a little.
