Queen of Swords

Personally, unless it was high in cops or a bit too easy to OD with (like La Femme Mystere) I probably wouldn't order it boosted, just layer scents over it that I feel would go best with it at the time. I think asking for advice in the forums on what to layer unscented phero's would be a good idea however if you're not sure.

I might eventually order 2 bottles of LFM w/500 mcg in each bottle lightly scented with something (no idea what yet, and I have other spending priorities in the meantime) due to how I need to be careful about overdoing it with that one, but it'll really depend on my future needs.

It has a way of making people eager to get out of my way, but I've yet to see anyone act like a puppy around me on it. Either I'm really the type who needs something with Est and related for that, or I need to get back wearing it more often again for testing after getting distracted by some sexxy social blends.

My version of Odalisque lacks the cops and BI, thus the emphasis on how it wasn't phero'd, there are some phero blends I will probably never wear in public. I love the fragrance but I would just rather use that scent with other phero blends other than networking, especially now that they seem to be completely sold out.

I don't know if it's just me, but this doesn't seem to work well, at least self-effects wise, with caffeine. I seem to function better after drinking kava or chamomile if I'm wearing it.

I'll have to go through my perfume collection. If I can't find the right vanilla there's some nice ginger themed ones I can use.

I could use some networking advice, but I should save my questions for another thread.

LFM lends an "I'm open and approachable but be respectful of me" vibe.

Very true.

ETA: Because I'm not interested in using more of my unphero'd version of Odalisque than I have to-unless LPMP cooks up something similar again-I think I'll look in to layering the pumpkin, ginger, and possibly resiny scents I have in my collection, since I believe it'd be pretty soothing around people without giving them too many ideas-though to be fair LFM does enhance one's sex appeal, but not in a in your face kind of fashion.

I know this has always gone over very well at work for me. Men and women respond positively to this. LFM became a favorite for work almost immediately. I'd say give it a run.

Thank you, I was worried about the possibility of having to get unscented SWS (which makes me feel a bit cocky, it's only something I'd want to convince a credit union or angel investor for a loan) just a bit after ordering SS4W so soon. My only other worry is about the scent, but I think anything with a vanilla theme should be fine.

Unfortunately I will have to wait till next month for the sampler sets.

I never cared for romance novel covers, but I find this hilarious since I appreciate this use of them on an ironic level. Hopefully anything I want after reading the descriptions will still be available full bottle when I am capable of buying them. Titillating Temptress looks like it has a lot of promise, but you can't always judge a perfume bottle by the art. : )

ETA: This isn't to say I don't have an appreciation for the artist's time, effort and detail in the work, and it's hard finding a career where you can make money with your talent. I just wish the romance novel industry was a tad bit different.

I need honest opinions about using this for networking.

Yeah, and we're wearing much higher concentrations than we're physically capable of producing-at least until the advances in synthetic biology finally arrive.

That would be so interesting to study!

It's a bit more complicated than it sounds though I'm afraid, and I don't think focusing only on phero and phero-like substances would or even should be my aim really. The importance though of the affects of various chemicals on the central nervous system as a whole though with this as part of the study, that would be interesting. But I need to brush up on a LOT of things first.

I think I'm starting to prefer this to Audacious because it helps me strut my stuff without being too overwhelming, but I'll sample Soaked a few more times just to be sure.

Anyway, I'll have to get a bottle of DHEAS to pair with Leather and Dominance one of these days.

Yet another reason I need to have neurobiology be one of my future majors when I get back to college someday.

One of the biggest similarities I've noticed between the two is increased elegance in the quality of motor skills and speech-at least for me.

I've worn LFM with cops, not the same thing.

ETA: In addition, LFN has an additional ingredient. The differences in affects might be more subtle for others though, and we all have differing biochemistries.

...But with LFN, I feel the same sexiness, but I will just lounge on my chaise with a cigarette and wait for them to come to get stuck in my web.

Yes, very much this-or I just walk around and meet people but no promises, but they tend not to care and they still want me to be around anyway. And I like it because I'm a control freak-not a bad thing to layer with SS4W though, but I'm still in the midst of figuring out the right ratios, I want to avoid over-doing it due to desire to have my ego massaged.

It's too bad I can't order a full bottle until the 15th since I've already been through nearly half of this sample, I'll have to lower the dose. I am still hoping for a non-fruity but still foodie scented version of this again soon because we may never see Rocket Fuel again, but we'll see.

I think I've perfected an evil layering combination, but I need more time to experiment and this will require a separate post. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to start a local perfume circle in the meantime.

Yes, both months are coming out the same time. The Feb labels will be up by tomorrow. The Febs are "normal" perfumes, but with a theme.

heheh.

Oh goody, I've been having fun recently, 'wouldn't want another month without the possibility of more.

I may have been responsible for a convert, I told a male friend what I was wearing (Rocket Fuel + LFN) and he said he was very turned on by that combo I was wearing.

So far with that little Rocket Fuel sample: So much better than Popularity Potion. I like the look on the face one of the local baristas have been giving me lately, amongst other forms of niceness (I think he's usually more... restrained). Outside of that, God I hope people do get jealous wherever I go, my NY's resolutions revolve around shallowness. Will report back later.

Some of my problems have to do with anxiety and shyness so I hate trying to sound certain, but after the past few days of experimentation-and I think you need several with this type of blend-the affects start getting a bit more pronounced.

La Femme Mystere is the Queen Bee, but this has more, um, possibilities without you losing your head and your cool. I'm very impressed, and can't wait until the unscented version arrives.

After some additional experimentation I have to say this does have a Femme Fatale thing going for it.

After some thought, I think this would be the best way for me to describe the differences between La Femme Noir and Mystere (and even Leather, Dominance, and LAM!):

LFM, Leather, Dominance, and Audacious = I'm Sexy And I Know It.

LFN: Really more of a sensual blend for me, not all out I AM T3H S3X kind of vibe. It's more subtle and controlled but at least it works, albeit differently.

It's a bit more complicated than that, but it's the best I can put in to words for now.

Pre-ETA: I HAD to order this unscented because I need to start wearing it with LP: Black and others without the marzipan background (not like there is anything wrong with Because the Night, in fact I ordered a virgin bottle of it to wear with my other phero blends).

I've been thinking about boosting my next purchase of a bottle of LAM! with this, would the Lightly Scented option be enough for it or should I get it fully scented to cover all the cops in it?

After some thought, LFM, for me at least, makes me feel more sexy yet still helps me be more introverted, LFN, more calm cool collected and and sociable with the hormonal level put a notch or two down. I'm back to experimenting with LFN again because the kind of attention I really want needs to be in a more control like manner anyways, if and when I can play with SS4W it'll be outside of the clubs and bars.
