I tried this without reading the ingredients and was really proud that I picked out the amber and sandalwood. My nose is getting better! I knew I didn't like it, and I don't like those scents, so I guess that's why! To me this is strong, cloying, and smells heavily of amber and allergy causing flowers. I get the woods as well, almost like an afterthought, but I have to admit I don't enjoy them either. I really thought I would like this just from the name as I love plum, but I should have read the ingredient descriptions more closely! Not for me I'm afraid.

When I first put this on I don't get any pear. It is very sweet, kind of cloying, a get-up-your-nose smell. After about five minutes it dries down to flowers - but "tropical flowers", so I guess I am getting just a little bit of fruit in there. But I really can't get the pear at all. After full drydown I do start to get the pear a little, but not as much as I would like, it's still being overshadowed by the flowers. Such a shame as I thought I would really love this one. Ahh well, c'est la vie!

This one is quite pretty, very floral and sweet, but the musk is very strong on me. It smells a bit too "perfumey". I can see that there would be people out there that would love it, but it's just not my scent.

Invidiana, I have precisely the opposite reaction to you to this. Wet and fresh this is too florally to me, reminds me of flowers that I recall getting allergies from - a nice smell, but the bad memories mean for me I don't enjoy it at all. But when it dries down, it is lovely. I really get the peach, and it is just fresh and light as everyone has said - nothing deep or rich. I'm not getting honey, flowers, or anything else, just peach goodness! At first smell in the bottle and when I put it on I thought I would be trading this one away, but now I think it may be a keeper. Dry down is just too nice. ETA: Also wanted to mention I ADORE the label on this! I wish I could make it bigger and frame it and put it on my wall. The little puppy with the kittie's nose in his mouth... Oh I could die!! It is so not fair putting pictures like that on the bottle, I would probably buy it just for the label even if I hated the perfume!!

Oooh! *goes off to check Cinnamonmel's posts* Oh I think I know what this is!!

Awww... I'm jealous Maybe I need to get me a BF too...

I have a trial vial of Rapturous Reverie for sale if you're interested Darbla.

That's sad But how sweet of your BF to go looking for it. What a nice BF

So it's been a few years since this came out... can anyone say anything about whether it really does help control your appetite and help you lose weight? I just got this and I'd be interested to hear, even if the answer is no!

Oh wow, I'm Mrs Kravitz now, yay! Ok I guess this is a sign I've been talking too much again... lol

What would be really cool would be a phero blend that repels mosquitoes and flies! Like insect repellant but the normal stuff from the stores gives me allergies so I can't use it much, plus it usually smells pretty yuck. And somehow I feel that pheromones would be stronger - animals respond to them so strongly. Come to think of it, maybe insect repellants already do have pheromones in them? Anyone know?

Phero, let us know how wearing SS4W or Extracurricular Proclivities works for you... I'd love to hear if any women seem to have the same reaction to it!

I'm quite interested in this molecule but this effect actually doesn't sound that great - a bit too hyperactive and caffeine-like for me! I already run on a pretty high-stress level most of the time, so I don't need to make it any worse! But perhaps that is just because you used it in such high dosage? Anyway great to see these reports coming in, I'll be reading everyone's experiences with interest.

Welcome Lexy! Great to see you over here It sounds like you have a similar taste in scents to me, I love all the sweet stuff as well

Wow, Tanya, the bees are attracted to you when you wear pouncing potion?? That sounds scary! There are heaps of bees around here, I'd better be careful what I wear outside!!

Ok, maybe I better not mess with the tried and true formula then Besides, the more I use it the more I grow to like it, and as long as I'm not putting in on myself or wearing it out it's no big deal. A full bottle of Heart's Ease is coming up for me in my next order

Halo, judging by your new avatar pic, it looks like you've got a bottle all right

My first proper review on the phero enhanced wax melt tarts First off, I think this is such a cool idea. I’m an avid user of candles and wax tarts, and what an awesome way to scent your “domain”, without wearing the pheromones themselves! It’s a great way to ensure others will be exposed to the phero cloud, you’re in control of how far you want it to diffuse, it creates a nice smell, and you get all the fun of playing with fire! Price: Pretty damn cheap! Prices start at $2.50 each and decrease if you buy more, so if you get 20 or more at a time they are only $2 each. Because they’re larger though, shipping becomes a bit more expensive, and I estimated it to be about $1 extra for each to ship to me in Australia. So it worked out to be about $3 per melt for me, which is great considering you can reheat each one again and again, and I’m only guessing but I estimate I would get about 20 hours out of each melt. Can’t complain about $3 for 20 hours. Plus the wax can be used afterwards to make candles once the pheros have been heated out of it (I checked with Mara to be sure it was safe). Presentation: Each melt is in a little plastic tub. The lids fell off a lot of mine before I even got them and wouldn’t stay back on because they had gotten a little cracked, and I could see some of the products were older because the plastic had gone brittle and started to break apart, so it’s clearly a low quality plastic. But given I’m just throwing these away anyway, really, who cares about the package it comes in? As long as it doesn’t affect the product in any way, which it doesn’t. The labels on them were just printed and stuck on, with no special pictures or anything like I’m normally used to from Love Potion, but again, for the product it was, making the packaging too special would have only been a waste. Smell and diffusion: I read up on these a lot before they arrived and got the impression they had an extremely strong scent. I was expecting to be blown away after burning one for half an hour! But maybe my expectations were too high, because I found the scent is really not overwhelming on them at all. It covers my room nicely, but doesn’t really waft that far into the hallway, and I can burn one continuously for 4 hours in here without feeling overwhelmed. I’ve tried a few of the melts and so far I have to admit I’m a little disappointed in the fragrance. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just that I’ve come to expect OMG AMAZING from Love Potion’s fragrances, and these just don’t smell as good. They’re still nice, certainly on par with other wax melts I’ve used, but I can tell that different ingredients have been used to make them than the perfume oils (as of course you would have to, as these are in a different medium). There is a certain quality to each of them that just makes them smell a bit commercial or cheap – maybe it is just the wax itself, or even the pheros? I feel a bit bad saying this because Mara even sent me a heap of free wax melts with my order, so don’t get me wrong, I do like them, I have just been spoilt with other, really amazing fragrances now, and I can tell the difference! I ordered in two of each of the phero enhanced wax melts, and Mara sent me a few non-pheroed wax melts as well so it’ll take me a while to post my reports on all of them, but I’ll be chipping away at it slowly! Here’s a few to start: LP Pink + Estratetraenol: I expected to LOVE this one because I love pink smells, but I was a little disappointed because it really smelt so commercial and sickly sweet, like sweet bubble gum. I’ll give it another go because I like the idea of filling an area with estratetraenol – how great for a girl’s night in, or having a guy over when you want to be treated well or pampered? But at the moment it’s not a winner for me. Nox + B2: This is a darker and richer scent than the Spa Mint, and I kind of liked it at first, but then it really turned on me. I got the blackberry in it, but it was not the good kind – it was kind of cough syrup like, a bit nauseating even. Something about blackberries + warm (from the candle) just didn’t work for me. But again, I do think I found it a bit soothing, it helped me calm down when I came home from work upset once. This one dried really oily when it was cool, like you pick up the wax block and there is oil all over it and on your fingers. I guess this is the perfume oil, and it’s not really a problem but it’s worth mentioning. Spa Mint + Tranquility: I’m not a fan of mint and this was really no exception. There was nothing bad about the scent, and I can see how other people would like it, but it wasn’t to my taste, too minty and menthol-y. I think I got a bit of a calming effect from it though. The wax in this one dried nice and solid, and popped out of the wax burner with no trouble at all and no oily residue. Summer Sparkle + Alpha Androstenol: This wasn’t nearly as fruity as I was expecting, and I think that’s a good thing, because I’m starting to think I don’t like fruity scents in wax melts. Somehow fruity has to be cool to me, once it has that “warm”, fire smell to it, it just smells a bit off. But this achieves the balance ok. I didn’t notice any effect from the pheros, which is probably for the best as I would likely just get a bad reaction to alpha androstenol anyway. In my melt this dried down very oily, and there was a significant amount of very orange, almost powdery stuff down the bottom of the melt. In a way I kind of like this as I can “see” that there are proper ingredients in it, not just some commercial fragrance, but some people might consider it not as aesthetically pleasing. Sweet Pumpkin & Banana Bread + Treasured Hearts: This is my favourite so far. Having these scent notes coming out “warm” does something wonderful to them. Very homey, comfy, and delicious smelling, like something yummy cooking in the oven. I could swear the pheros are having an effect on my flatmate too. Though I’ve only used one melt so far, she has been on the more calm, tolerant side today while around it. On the downside, she seems to want to spend a lot of time in my room, but at least it’s time spent talking or “bonding”, rather than arguing, which I’m ok with.

Ahh thanks, I have been wondering that for a while! I've tried it out a couple of days but not sure on the effects yet, too many other factors going on here. I'll give it a few more test runs.

Oooh, I wish I could get some of this, it sounds soooo good! I think my last order was too small though

Ahh, I see! Is there any option to add in the 333 mcg pheros to a fragrance, so it's the same strength as a premixed blend? I would love to have say Heart's Ease with some soothing, aquatic fragrance... Also, Mystic Mara, do you think the lavender could be part of what I find soothing or what makes me feel sleepy? I think I have heard somewhere it has been known to have that effect, is that true?

In spite of the fact that I don't even really like the lavender scent in it, I think I'm going to have to get a full bottle of Heart's Ease. It's just tooooo good at making me feel better about the things that bother me, I've just got to have some on hand and my sample's nearly gone. I thought about getting the phero blend with a different fragrance but if I understand the page where I do this correctly this works out to cost $54.95? As that's nearly double the price ($29.95 for a bottle of Heart's Ease) I really don't want to take the chance on it in case it ends up not working out the same as Heart's Ease. For all I know it could be the lavender that I find soothing. That, and I need another bottle of Jungle Colada. I can't get enough of that stuff. Maybe a bottle of Nectar de L'amour too. And if Extracurricular Proclivities turns out to affect the guys around me half as well as it affects me, I'll need a bottle of that as well... more testing needed though

I often seem to be the one person having a different reaction to everyone else hehe... just look at my reactions to alpha androstenol

Lol I know what's in it I've worn each of these ingredients before at some point but never in combination before. This... was different And well, I made a crack about him joining me in bed, and when he hugged me I pulled him down onto the bed with me? Oh dear, I will have to watch myself on this stuff!

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 get the honey and incensey, smokiness from it. There's a lot of depth that I normally don't like, I guess this is the amber and resins. There's just a hint of a tangy, berry-ness, and some vanilla playing around. I sort of don't like it, 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?!? I'm so confused right now...
