Hehe, I managed to convince my flatmate to wear this, calling it just "fragrance oil", and specifically telling him to wear it and see what his GF thinks. He wasn't too keen on it at first, but after he wore it around her he said she loved it, and he snatched the whole sample vial from me! I think I have an LP convert!!

I'm pretty sure I inadvertantly contributed to the quick sell out of this one by mentionining it's low numbers on the GGG thread, and continuing to follow them as it went down, down, down.... sorry everyone

Thanks Mara. I was more wondering if anyone could comment on their experience with this phero blend? What results have they had?

What is this phero blend for exactly? Is it similar to something like True Confessions or TMI, which are also alpha/beta nol blends? What sort of situation would this be appropriate for?

Sexpionage is also quite heavy on the androstenone too isn't it? I guess that explains why these are wear only at home blends. I've just had a terrible evening, so let this be a cautionary tale to all of you about the dangers of sexual pheros. I went dancing again tonight and Roger was there. I wore Popularity Potion, thinking it was surely a safe blend for dancing, but what I didn't factor in was I put on a heap of OCCO: Ambrosia the night before and hadn't showered since. I think either the cops were still effective from then, or Roger remembered how he felt about me from the Extracurricular Proclivities a couple of weeks before (see my earlier post). I thought I made myself pretty clear to him after his last inappropriate behaviour, and I've seen him and even danced with him since then a few times with no problem. But tonight we were unfortunately paired together for the entire lesson, and before long he was back in that drooling, panting way again. He just seemed to get more and more worked up, and a few times he pulled me in, telling me to "come closer". Then, seemingly frustrated with my hesitance, he pulled me right in close to him, with his crotch up against my leg, and started grinding into me. He had a hard on and I could feel everything. I pulled away from him and walked off the dance floor, right in the middle of the class. I felt really sick. Later I spoke with the dance instructors and said I wasn't comfortable with his behaviour, and asked them not to pair us up again. I feel pretty angry about the whole thing, with both myself and with him. I don't know if it was the OCCO from yesterday or his memory of how he felt when I wore EP, but I still think my behaviour, style of dress, and clear disinterest in him should have been enough to let him know it wasn't the right way to act. At the same time, I was the one sending out the signals with my pheromones. I should have been more careful.

I'm just dying to put in my order, but I told myself I would wait until my monthly sampler came in, then I could include full bottles of anything I fell in love with from that. But now I'm sitting there with all the things I want in my cart, thinking, maybe I should just click that "check out" button... and the angel on the other side of my shoulder is like, no don't do it! You can wait a few more days!!

I just wanted to add, since reading this thread I've been thinking about the incident that happened to me while wearing Extracurricular Proclivities, and looking at it in light of some of the things said here: One much older guy at dancing – let’s call him Roger – just about went nuts. He’s normally pretty sleazy around younger girls, but it’s toned down to an acceptable level – I guess he has learnt to behave himself over the years. But this seemed to make him abandon all restraint and become completely blatant. Dancing with him was almost a little dangerous. This is NOT night club dancing, it’s a sultry style but not blatantly sexy – suitable for the retirement area I live in, and most of the dancers are 50+ years old, so we’re not talking anything Patrick Swayze here. So it was weird and very wrong when Roger started thrusting back and forth against me, not actually making contact, but in a very sexual way, taking deep huffs in of my scent each time, breaking out in a sweat even though the room was quite cool. And this was just after he commented that I smelled “wonderful”, and said he wanted to get closer to me to breathe in my scent. Worse, when we started to dance properly he almost immediately put me into a move where my arms were behind my back and neck, almost an arm lock, where I felt completely exposed and vulnerable. He then leaned it close to me, forehead against mine, and all but kissed me! I actually had to struggle away and politely excuse myself from the rest of the dance, I felt a little like I was being assaulted. He seemed to realise himself after that and backed off, but it was pretty awkward. I couldn’t get away from him fast enough! I think it's important to note that this kind of situation COULD very easily get out of hand, in a different setting or if I had been a different type of person. I am very strong, not easily pushed into doing something I don't want, and have the guts to fight or scream or struggle if I need to. But, if you are less sure of yourself, less prepared, even just younger and more trusting, put in the wrong environment, things can get out of hand. You do need to go into these situations with your eyes wide open and knowing how things could play out. Just use common sense.

Congrats!! Hope this one turns out to be 10x better

I'm really digging the smell of this at the moment. It reminds me a lot of Extracurricular Proclivities, it just has that same "feel" to it. It is very, very sexy. There is the sweet, bright smell of the pear and honey, then there is a real sexiness underneath, which is probalby the cops and resins. I love the spices in this, they are very "soft" spices to me, almost foody. The scent morphs a bit on me, but not as much as it seems to on others, it is more that it goes softer and less "bright" on drydown, which is normal. My only complaint is I had a male friend smell this and he said he didn't like it But then I had a bunch of other samples on, so he possibly didn't get a proper smell. There's also a chance it hadn't had a chance to dry down properly yet and he got a whiff of cops. I'll have to ask a different male for their opinion I think.

I actually remember the DATE I discovered this site, it was that significant to me. I felt alive with all the possibility I saw and thrilled at the concept of pheromones. I just knew I was onto something special. That sounds really corny but it actually is true. Helps that it was the same date my kittens were born, so I remember the date because of that, lol. Pheromones and scents HAVE changed my life, even in this short time. For the first time ever I really began to look at what other people were doing and how I interacted with others. I felt like I could take some control over how people treated me, through how I projected myself and how I allowed them to treat me. It has given rise to so much thought and self-discovery. I have already improved my skills at understanding people and their behaviours tenfold. Pheromone and perfume discovery also came at a time when, for me, I first discovered make-up, girly clothes and beauty products. I'm 25, but have lived most of my life scorning these things as "girly", being in a very male dominated world both growing up and in my work life. Discovering this whole other side of life has been amazing to me. I still haven't had a chance to share much of this new side of myself with any of the people I know in real life, because they are so used to me being a certain way, and it has been a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine indulging in these things and I just want to keep it that way for a bit longer. But participation on this forum has given me an outlet for this and helped me feel that I have other like-minded people to share these interests with.

For me, something about the scent of this one is just a bit off. I don't think peach and honey combined is a scent for me. It was like mixing together sugar and salt, both great on their own but together in this way, my nose just didn't know what to make of it. I might have to give this one a miss - fortunately I have plenty of other lovely scents with cops so I don't think I will miss it too much

I don't really like the term either, but then, the other terms are not really much better, so you have to work with the language available to you I guess! I don't think it's necessarily inevitable that one side will get attached, although it can happen. My early experiences were that it did happen, which is what taught me the importance of honesty. Since being totally honest and upfront about what I wanted, I don't think either myself or my friend with benefits/FB/whatever has developed too strong an attachment or got hurt. It's all about how it is carried on I guess. I also wouldn't try to have that kind of relationship with someone I thought would have strong feelings for me or someone in a vulnerable position. That generally makes it safer all around.

Just read through all this thread and there's some great advice here. Thanks everyone! My phero-education is constantly improving thanks to all of you...

Bang! has cops in it too right? Or is that just EP?

Eggers - I want to second EVERYTHING you've just said. I wish I could vote or rep your post up! You and I think so much alike it's not funny. The best I can do is bold everything I really agree with and want to scream "YES!" to, but really I agree with it all! I think my strong viewpoint on this comes from C1 telling me once that he would never get involved with a colleague. I'm convinced that that is the reason he has refused to look at me any other way, even though in almost every other respect we seem to be perfect for each other. I think it's a stupid reason - if we work in a similar field and both care about our jobs, shouldn't that actually help the relationship? Who cares about it *maybe* not working and us *maybe* being awkward afterwards - it is worth the risk!! BTW - I'm also very close to some guys I have dated or had sex with. My other flatmate (the good one) is also my ex, and he's my best friend in the world, even if we are no longer together. We've been best friends for nearly a decade now. A lot of people find that hard to understand, to the point where I don't even usually mention it now. I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I also have two other "friends with benefits", who don't want any kind of commitment or relationship from me, but who I do have sex with from time to time. I have a high sex drive and so do they, so aside from one minor jealousy issue (which was resolved through discussion) these relationships have worked out fine for us both/all. My theory is that as long as you are always honest with each other, you can't really hurt each other, the only real hurt comes from secrets and lies. If you are honest with a person that you just want sex with them and it won't lead to a relationship, at least coming from a female, I have found males are generally more than fine with that. It's only if you make them think there will be more that they get hurt. And if you are friends first you should respect them enough to have that much honesty with them.

Finally got around to writing up a full review for this. I can’t believe I haven’t written a proper review for this yet. I could go on and on about it. Pheromone ingredients: Contains Bang!, a phero blend that contains estratetraenol, copulins and a phero blend of Super Sexy for Women. SS4W contains estratetraenol, alpha androstenol, DHEA, tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone, and androstanone. So basically, it’s a phero blend, within a phero blend, within a fragrance I like to think of it as SS4W + Cuddle Bunny. Price: Standard good price of $29.95 per 10ml bottle, or $5 per 1.5ml trial vial. I have the trial vial and a full bottle of this will be making its way into my next order. Presentation: The label is sexy as hell, which is nice but means I don’t know if I want to have it in my bag, it’s a little too attention grabbing. I might need to decant this into smaller bottles to take out with me. Silly me, it took me a fair bit of staring at the picture to figure out the hand thing going on on the girl’s back. At first I was all, what the? Is there another person? Is this an error?? I can be a dolt sometimes... lol Smell: This is normally a smell I wouldn’t like, and I have this potion to thank for expanding my world of scents. When I first smelt this I thought, oh yuck, MUSK, that NEVER works on me. Previously I had always gone for light, sweet, fruity blends, as soon as anything went deep or spicy, as soon as I saw the words amber, patchouli, musk, resin... I knew I wouldn’t like it. But this one smells like all the things I shouldn’t like, and yet I love them. It is all sexy honey and incense, beautiful sultry depth, with just a little amber and resins, a bit of berry, and smooth vanilla underlying it all. I get a lot of comments on this one, although indirectly as a lot of people don’t recognise the smell is coming from me, probably because it’s not a usual “me” smell – I’ve had a few “God it smells nice in here!” or “is someone burning incense? It’s heavenly!” type comments from guys. No comments from girls, which makes me think it is the sex appeal in this smell that is doing it for the guys. Results: I think my first post on this potion pretty much sums it up... Umm, wow... I got this as a trial sample and have only just got a chance to open it and take a sniff. I put a little on my wrist just to test. It was musky and deep in a way that I normally don't like... but... Umm... it had an effect on me... A tingly, aroused effect... I sort of don't like the smell, and yet... I can't stop smelling it? I huff it in and my eyes just glaze over. I want to start drooling. WTF is this?? My male flatmate, who I'm not at all interested in, just walked in to say good night... and I think I may have just sexually propositioned him?? What the hell just happened?!? So basically... I have to watch myself carefully on this! It is like instant arousal for me. And from what I’ve seen on others, the effect isn’t too far off on them either. Arousal aside, this has other great self effects for me. I instantly feel playful, naughty, and very sexy. It flirts with heading in a nasty, catty direction, but doesn’t quite get there, just hints at it enough to give it that edge. Mischievous is the best word I can use for it. It is all sexy beast confidence, “look at me”, prancing around and knowing everyone’s eyes are following me. I’ve been wearing this out with just a spray of Pink Sugar to soften it, as it almost seems TOO sexy. I’m almost too scared to wear it to work, but I think I should sometime just for the sake of experimentation. However, wearing it to dancing is where I have got the most noticeable results. It definitely seemed to have a testosterone raising, almost animalic effect on guys (is animalic a word? Well if not I’m still using it, because it sums it up nicely ). One much older guy at dancing – let’s call him Roger – just about went nuts. He’s normally pretty sleazy around younger girls, but it’s toned down to an acceptable level – I guess he has learnt to behave himself over the years. But this seemed to make him abandon all restraint and become completely blatant. Dancing with him was almost a little dangerous. This is NOT night club dancing, it’s a sultry style but not blatantly sexy – suitable for the retirement area I live in, and most of the dancers are 50+ years old, so we’re not talking anything Patrick Swayze here. So it was weird and very wrong when Roger started thrusting back and forth against me, not actually making contact, but in a very sexual way, taking deep huffs in of my scent each time, breaking out in a sweat even though the room was quite cool. And this was just after he commented that I smelled “wonderful”, and said he wanted to get closer to me to breathe in my scent. Worse, when we started to dance properly he almost immediately put me into a move where my arms were behind my back and neck, almost an arm lock, where I felt completely exposed and vulnerable. He then leaned it close to me, forehead against mine, and all but kissed me! I actually had to struggle away and politely excuse myself from the rest of the dance, I felt a little like I was being assaulted. He seemed to realise himself after that and backed off, but it was pretty awkward. I couldn’t get away from him fast enough! This negative experience aside, I loved the effect this had on everyone else. A few guys seemed to respond like they wanted to impress me, especially physically, which is very fun when dancing. I has some amazing, sexy, creative dances with guys who were going all out to show me their best dance moves, and were all but throwing me around the dance floor. They just took charge completely and I could do nothing but go along for the ride – it was incredible. The newer or less experienced guys, however, seemed to not take it as well. I got a few DIHL looks, and the less confident guys seemed to be a bit disarmed, forgot moves, got clumsy, and messed up more often, then got very embarrassed and apologetic when they did. I decided that this is not really a “fair” mix to wear to dancing, at least not to the beginner class – it just throws everyone off their game too much, and they seem to take self-esteem blows more than they normally would when they mess up in front of me, like they are ashamed to have failed to “impress” me, no matter how nice I am to them about it. But the advanced class – oh hell yeah! This one is powerful and dangerous stuff, but incredibly fun when used right. Wear with caution!

I couldn't agree more with this. My partners seem to usually end up being someone I was friends with or working with first. Which is why I get frustrated with the concept that "you shouldn't date co-workers" or "I won't go out with such and such because I don't want to ruin our friendship". Well, how else are you going to not only meet someone, but get to know someone well enough to know if you want to be with them? I'm not one for casual dating either. I don't know about the rest of the world, but here you only date ONE person at a time, because if you have gone on even one date that is a sign of expressing interest and commitment, until one of you declares that it's off. I used to get so confused watching Amercian shows where people would say things like "I had 3 dates in one weekend!" It was just...huh??

This is quite foody to me, not very floral. I get oats and honey, it's like porridge. On drydown it takes on a "cooler" feel, if that makes sense - perhaps it is the florals peeking through. It does have go a little perfume-y on me, but I still like it.

Is there really no thread for this? Please feel free to move this to the appropriate thread if I've just missed it. I get the frankincense from this one straightaway. It's a deep and mysterious blend, but I don't think I would wear it as a perfume. It smells a bit old lady on me.

This was very strong red wine on me at first, and I LOVED it. There was a wonderful spiciness to it that I just couldnt get enough of. The dry down goes to soft roses and florals, which is still ok but I liked it wet better. A very intriguing potion this one! I am looking for something to layer with Closer, and I think this one would do well with it!

I'm surprised this hasn't received more reviews - I really like this one. It's quite citrusy, but in a soft way, and the florals come out to play just the right amount for me. This is a very fresh, clean scent, one for summer I would think.

Oh no Mara, does this mean my monthly sampler will be sans OCCO: Ambrosia?? Or did you put it together before you ran out?? I hope this is the case!

Very sage advice. I really should listen to you on this one. I constantly try to put out the best "me", but I would like to be doing it because *I* want to, not because I'm trying to attract anyone. I think I'm doing it for the wrong reasons at the moment.

What on earth does Mr. Mxyzptlk mean? And why is it Mr, most of us here are Miss or Mrs

I still struggle constantly with how much to apply. I think people can't possibly detect if I wear only a dab of something. It seems hard to believe a tiny drop of oil can disperse to reach people several metres around me. Hence I find myself slathering. And as soon as I can no longer smell something on myself, I feel tempted to add more of it.
