WildAutumn

Thanks for the thoughts, everyone. My brother-in-law died eight years ago...and sometimes I wonder whether my sister is terrified of that happening and is unconsciously keeping men at arm's length. Though outwardly, wanting a "for keeps" man is all she talks about. Well, not ALL, but a large part and it is a part of every conversation with her. But perhaps what she really wants, and what she thinks she's supposed to want, are at cross-purposes. It's a thought, thanks for the input because all of what people are saying here does make sense.

My libido is back with pheromones too.

That sounds REALLY nice. May need to try this.

Good thoughts, everyone, thanks. p.s. LOLZing a little at the thought of Abe Lincoln's pheromones. "Oh, that man is so full of s---ooh. Oh, wait. Lean closer, Abe...Okay, you know what? I don't really NEED my slaves."

Oh, well maybe that's it. But no, she does NOT look her age...or anywhere near. Of the men who do ask her out, they are shocked at her age (unless they're just trying to butter her up). I and all of our friends always joke that she has the Ring of Power because she just looks so young. Weirdest of all, when a man does ask her out, it is almost always a much younger man, like late 20s.

I was actually just thinking about my sister and wondering about this. Since puberty, my sister has literally turned heads, I mean whiplash-style. Granted she is large-chested, and she is very, very pretty! But we actually look very much alike (in fact, people used to mistake us for twins...and some people would mistake us for each other at a glance - I can't tell you how many times I heard my sister's name called out from across the street and turned to look and someone was waving at me), I have NEVER had that effect. It's not necessarily in how she "carries herself," either - that may be part of it, but I mean she can literally just walk into a room, no strutting, zero eye contact and literally glaring and heads would always turn. This was true until the past few years - when she is approaching menopause. All of a sudden, BOOM, out of nowhere, she just can not get a mate, and even if she can get one, she can't keep one. I mean it was a turn on a dime sort of thing. It seriously seemed to happen overnight. Yet she is the SAME person. Same degree of bubbliness, same looks, same intelligence, even the same line of work...same everything. And some people do just seem to have "it." They walk into a room, they may even slouch into that room, dressed in sweats, hair not done and people's heads whiplash. As I said, until the past five years or so, people would iterally STOP AND STARE at my sister...women and men both...and children turned into giggly piles of insanity around her and HAD to be near her...without her doing anything, without her even glancing at them. I can't tell you how many times growing up we would be in a store somewhere and a guy would literally stop in his tracks, almost come to a skid to watch her and so many approached her. She did not have to do anything, I mean anything at all to get that attention, her hip was not stuck out, she wasn't looking around and making eye contact, nothing, zip. Could it be pheros?

Great responses, Silky! Thanks for the rec on UN...I am putting it on my list for the end of the month if we're doing really well with the budget, or the beginning of December if not. In other news, I THINK I MAY HAVE GOTTEN A HIT!!! (Besides my husband story above.) Not sure, though. I went to the Starbucks drive-through and handed my cash in through the window...wrist up, my car is small and I have to reach up for the drive-through window. The barrista - who I have gotten many times before - quite a young guy, maybe 19? - was trying to talk to me about my order and stumbled. He was trying to get out "here's your chocolate smoothie" and he kept saying "her'es your strawberry...no, I mean your banana...no, I mean...what's wrong with me???" and his eyes were kind of dazed. Then he looked away fast. I mean who knows, maybe he was high. He was waiting for the rest of my order to come out and I was putting a quarter into the tip box...again, hard to reach it took me a couple/few seconds, and he was lingering there...he didn't seem to want to go back inside, which is what they normally do...and he was STARING at my wrist...I don't know...if I wanted to push things in favor of "this was a hit," I'd actually say he was sort of...magnetized. He was rooted to the spot. Also...my kids! I didn't want to be wearing pheros around them because I don't know...I am just not sure about that. I don't want them to feel weird or have confusion or anything like that. But I swear, when I've had CP on my kids are SO happy and cheerful...and calm but upbeat. I mean we went and played baseball in the park the other day and all they could do was gush about what a GREAT time we had. It was just the park! They were also so affectionate, not just with me but with each other (two boys, I mean they typically have their back more often than fighting/arguing but they have been seriously solicitious with each other and just overall happy). I don't know...it does seem dramatic, the difference v. the usual. As for SEs, I'd wear this every day if I didn't get SO HORNY while wearing it. I mean really...it gets ridiculous...it's non-stop. A girl needs a break sometimes! But I mean the energy I get is phenomenal. I'm not frenetic or anything, but I want to just go, go, go. I LOVE that. And it just seems to balance me, make me feel more "me"....if that makes sense. It is such a nice, peaceful, satisfied feeling.

I can say that I just recently dug out my CP, Closer, etc. after three years in hiding (thought it was only two until I went back and hunted my old posts) and that the SEs still throw me into outer space (in a good way) and have an immediate and very strong effect on my husbands and kids (husband way more attentive, kids huggy, happy, in a good mood, etc.).

Wearing CP again today...and you know, I have to say...if it weren't for the actual fragrance, which i just can't seem to get into, this might be my HG. I may need to get the Stone Cougar as soon as we have some extra cash coming in, and just cover with a different scent. I put this on and...it's PHENOMENAL. Everything is suddenly balanced...in an upbeat way. All of a sudden the sky goes from gray to summertime blue (figuratively speaking). And you know what? My entire family seems to get that "lift" when I wear it. My kids have been amazing since I whipped out the CP again! They are so cheerful (and extra huggy). This weekend we went to the park, then for a walk in town, then we got ice cream. It wasn't anything we haven't done a hundred times before. I was probably more involved at the park - just due to the perked-up SEs - but I mean to hear these kids go on about how great their weekend was, you'd think we'd taken them to Disneyland and then flown them to Paris to have their ice cream treat at the top of the Eiffel Tower or something. This could be my HG for my own personal SEs. I'm not giggly-happy or ridiculous...just have an "ahhh, this is what life is supposed to be like" feeling. I wonder if I could be lacking in certain hormones or something? I have always leaned toward depression anyway but now am perimenopausal (not self-diagnosed, my doctor discovered this via a routine blood panel, then two years later - which is now one year ago - my periods began going haywire for the first time in my life). ETA: Oh, and by the way...great Caesar's ghost but does this make me horny.

Thank you!

Thanks, QG. Some excellent points.

NO MORE CLOSER? Just pulled this out on a whim and after two patient years sitting tucked away in my jewelry box it has gotten NO LESS DIVINE. I am eating my arm. It's not the cops, I have worn other formulas with cops and they don't do this to me. Is Closer ever coming back???

Hmm...just went out today and ZERO hits. Stopped at Home Depot, really nothing. Then played baseball and soccer at the park, but we were the only ones there. Next a walk through town, got coffee, passed many people, nada. Selfies though, wow, this energizes me and makes me want to be social, and makes me kind of carefree.

Okay, great, thank you! So here we go. This was not a sexual hit, but it was VERY pronounced. I don't know why I thought of pheromones again, but after having forgotten them for two years (they didn't seem to "work" then for my target, someone I was trying to get to open up more, and I gave up eventually and put them away), I dug mine up from their little hidden place. I was thinking more about feeling attractive overall and not attractive to my husband specifically. I know that sounds terrible, feel free to slap me, I probably deserve it. ETA: Oh ha ha, as I'm typing this a cougarlife commecial just came on, LOL! How funny. Okay, so anyway. Background: my husband and I have not been getting along. For a long, long time. We have issues I'm fairly certain we will ultimately never be able to work out. In the past few months, things have been particularly bad. He is entirely inattentive, doesn't seem to care about me or about our children and so on. So last night I put on some Pom Pom Nom Nom. As previously, I really didn't like the smell on drydown and I didn't have a good fragrance to cover it, so I washed it off and instead, put on scented Cougar. Just a tiny bit - one little stroke from the sampler vial on each wrist. Didn't cover after drydown, I didn't have to. I remember that from my last trial (I think two years ago) too. And out of nowhere, as I was walking by to go to my computer, my husband grabbed me and gave me a hug! It's been probably two or three months since he's even bothered to go through the motions of wanting to pretend to hug me. So I thought...hmmmm. And this morning I had not showered (I wanted a bath at night) but I washed both wrists thoroughly, then did two loads of dishes so I do know it was pretty much "off" me. I replaced just one stroke on my chest, since I knew I would be doing more dishes today - we make lots of dishes when everyone is home. Well, ALL day long my husband has been friendly and bubbly toward me (he is NEVER bubbly and rarely friendly unless he feels he "has to" be in order to keep me from walking out the door with a suitcase), AND very attentive. He has touched me pretty much every time he's passed me - massaged my head quickly, grabbed my arm and so on. Then I lay down for a nap - I'm not feeling well, have a cold come on - and I slept for quite some time. He kept wandering into and out of the bedroom for trivial reasons; I know he didn't have to be there. And then at one point he came in, turned on a fan for me and put the covers up over me and tucked them by my face, just spontaneously. If it isn't the Cougar - then it is one heck of a coincidence. I don't expect to "keep" my husband attentive long-term with Cougar as our basic inability to get along will surely override it at some point. So I'm not "using" it for that - again, I just really wanted to feel better about myself, and more attractive. I still do, so I will probably continue to use Cougar. I am going to field test it at some point next week and will report back with my results, if any.

Hey, all - long time no see! I used the Search function for the scented Cougar but couldn't find a thread for it. I found threads for the variants, Pherogirl C and so on...Should I post here with results for Cougar Potion scented?

You know what? It is very Pherogirl-ish. But it's more wearable to me. It's lighter somehow. Maybe because of the pear? I love the spiciness in this...mmmmmmmmm.....

So has anybody had any "hits"/reactions with this? Details!

Just an update because I thought this was so cute. My littlest son (age 5) said to me this morning, "Mommy, why do you smell good?" I hadn't reapplied since yesterday or anything. But he smelled it and commented! Good boy, Mommy is training him well.

Got this as a freebie along with a sample order...I am surprised, I LOVE this...and I don't normally like anything floral. It 's grown up yet playful and yes vurrrry sexy. Just barely enough peach in there to make things interesting. I feel like a woman...I mean I am a woman, but, oooooooo I reeeeally feel like one now...not in an overpowering way but in a "wouldn't you like to come just a little closer? You won't be sorry" way. Will order come January. Oh yummie. P.s the jasmine amps on me! So that's probably what is making me love the floral aspect; there's something just softly musky yet sweet about jasmine. Mmmmm (eating own arm)

Oh this is going on my list, definitely.

Want to mark my spot with a review because I know I'll forget my initial impressions otherwise... In the bottle: Oh holy yum. Chocolate and coffee and chocolate and coffee and chocolate and coffee and chocolate and coffee. On, wet: Yum, mmmmmmm, foody, warm...chocolate and coffee and...well, you get that part. Plus a little dirtiness...some people love that...I don't so much, so we'll see if that calms down. That's the cops, of course. After 10 minutes: Only reporting this soon because a new scent came out: I smell orange/tangerine! Love it. Still a little "dirty..." After 30 minutes: barely there, warm skin scent with just a little something sweet behind it, oh mmmmmm, this one says "come closer..."

Oh trust me. I've been trying this method and have no plans at this time to slow down. Super-nom (effects-wise). (happy sigh)

Well, I'm certainly going to keep my eyes peeled. It sounds like a delicious one.

Is this one coming back by any chance?

Hey you fine creatrixes: (creatrices?) Do you think there's any way to intensify the grapefruit in this fragrance and/or make it last longer? Is there a complementary fragrance you carry? I just LOVE the grapefruit that this starts out with. Do you think Clinique Happy would be a nice complement?
