Update! I wore this today to work, mostly because our Xmas party was this evening.

In the morning: 2 sprays (from the trial vial which sprays less than the actual bottle right?) of LACE phero, and dabbing of a bit of Garland & Lace (I didn't want the scent to be TOO overwhelming). I didn't notice any phero effects while at work. (though this scent is REALLY growing on me)

Just before the Xmas party at 4pm: 3 more sprays (lightly) of the plain LACE phero and a bit more dabbing of G&L.

At the Xmas party: STILL not seeing any phero effects. I hung out with a bunch of boys from work all evening, and I did notice the people I was around were all in a very happy mood (probably the a-nol in LACE?). Actually our XMas party was at a bowling lane so I went till the bitter end and played nearly 4 hours of bowling... even though in the end it was just this one guy and me left playing! lol. I dunno, he seemed nice enough to me, but nothing in his behaviour screamed phero effect to me (or I'm oblivious).

Post Xmas party (about 8pm): this guy (different from the one I was bowling with) and other girl from work decided to hang out some more and go for beers, sprayed (very lightly) 2 more times on my hair the LACE phero. The evening went VERY well, enjoying conversation with each other. Now I'm sort of thinking.... phero effect? I don't know. It was fun and I really enjoyed it. But again nothing stood out to me as obviously phero-induced.

I don't know if this means LACE doesn't work for me or if the effects of this phero are subtle in the "just makes us all get along and have fun" vibe?

If it works for you then that is a good thing. I have a pretty strong personality but luckily people do not bristle against me too much.

Yeah, see, I wish some of the more social attractant pheros would work for me (and I've tried MANY) - nothing. But SWS, wow, works amazingly well! lol. Oh well, I guess it goes to show how I am.

Okay MINT scents??? I'm a sucker for mint. The mintier the better. (you know the B&BW twisted peppermint? I have candles and also room scents of that and the lotion, and my biggest complaint is not enough mint) And I'm currently obsessed with pumpkin-y stuff too.

Mmmmm. I like this. I'm not usually one for foody scents, but this is a lighter foody scent on me. Just a touch of spicy gingerbread and pumpkin? Very smooth. Can't wait to try this out at the work Christmas party tomorrow! (and also eager to try out the lace phero blend at the same time!)

I tried this today at work (along with 2 of those un phero trial vial sprays on my neck). I honestly cannot tell if I got any phero hits or not. There's a couple of instances which made me think maybe.. but also possibly not. Or maybe the boys at work are just used to me and the pheros confused them, so they still acted as normal.

That said, I really like this scent. It's a nice light, floral citrusy - very office friendly sort of smell. This is one of those where I'd probably like to buy a bottle if I can fit it into my budget.

The most amazing phero with very obvious effects for me *IS* SWS. I think I have a naturally strong personality and this brings that out and makes people listen to me and *not* bristle against me. I love this blend.

(and as always I don't know if it's a good thing that this seems to be the phero most congruent with my personality...)

Right off the bat this is extremely foody to me. When I sniffed the vial the first thought I had was chocolate. On my skin it seems very sweet. Honey, and cocoa butter are very prominent. It's not the usual scent I go for. This is very sticky sweet and heavy, but I could wear this from time to time when the mood hits.

Augh, I need to find a good place to try out the pheros! I can't comment on phero effects.

This is such a clean and sexy scent on me, like fresh laundry just put out to dry in the sun... I love the soft almost surreal scent this gives off

THIS!!! Exactly how I'd describe this. It's actually a "mainstream perfume" scent on me. I can't put my finger on it but it smells so familiar. I wonder if it's the sandalwood or musk or both? Either way I do like this. I'm undecided if I need a bottle of this, but I quite like the scent. (I can't comment on the phero though, since no one is around)

Ding ding ding!!!!! That's it!!! Chloe Narcisse!!! This reminded me of something too, but I couldn't put my finger on it. It's this!! I wore this for a bit in junior high and high school. The Unisexy isn't as intensely sweet on me as the Chloe (my sister and I called it Banana Juice, that's how sweet is was!) but the feel of them is very, very similar.

*jaw drops* I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT. It's SO familiar in that "this reminds me of a commercial perfume" way. (but of course none of that alcohol smell)

edit: okay I've dotted a few different perfumes on (hey, I was waiting anxiously for my LPMP order since I ordered the sampler this time as well as a bunch of un pheros), and I keep going and sniffing the spot I tried this out on. hmm. It *is* very nice

I finally got my order today!!!! YAY!

This is the first one I tried out because of all the rave reviews (no review on Gotcha! though..... no one around to use this on). Am I weird or I get zero lavender from this? I only seem to smell a very very sweet vanilla cake. (or angel food cake?)

It's alright. A bit too food-y sweet for me, so I'm happy with my trial vial for when the mood hits where I'd like a vanilla-type scent.

On the plus side my order arrived this morning but I haven't had a chance to try anything yet.

*cries* When I saw this post of yours at work I was hoping mine would also be at home waiting for me.. but still no sign of them (and I'm in BC! You'd think it's faster to go to BC than ON from CA!)

Have fun on vacation!

I haven't even gotten through November yet. So many pheros, so little time.

I don't even have my November order yet. ;_; Ordered Nov 7 but shipping to Canada takes SO LONG.

I think in the beginning I wasn't shaking it enough, you're right, but now I make sure that I do!

Eye of the Storm is on the list for December! (along with Merlin's Blend - keep meaning to get it but keep forgetting)

Okay - now that my PE's had a month or so to "rest" It doesn't have that immediate sharp green that overpowers everything else. Still green and sharp but a little less edge.

I'm STILL loving this as a layering perfume though. I have some scents that I find WAY too sweet for me - and this totally takes that overpowerful sickeningly sweet scent off for me, and I get left with a slight sweetness that doesn't get too much for me.

uh-oh. I was curious about this one but wary of coconut scents.

Okay seriously, what does it say about me when the MOST success I've ever had with a phero thus far is with SWS???

I am more articulate, better able to present my statements clearly and people listen to me/follow my authority. People who normally are slightly difficult became a lot more pleasant around me, people who normally listen to me, listen to me more and digest what I have to say... people do not mind me in authority, etc, etc. HOLY COW.

I know I only ordered a small 5mL trial spray of this unscented (been using the Lap of Luxury with SWS for now), but wow, SWS is a clear winner for me... it just concerns me that is *the* phero where everytime I've worn it so far, I know things are clearly happening as they are due to the pheros. Does that mean I'm naturally an opinionated, bossy alpha female? LOL!!!

Oh I can see it...You remind of Amy Okuda (Tinkerballa) from The Guild, actually

Lol, I can assure you, I'm probably twice her size, and have a dozen years on her.

Hey, it doesn't count if you're Asian....(that's you in your avatars, right?) y'all don't age! All of my Asian friends skin has the looked the same from like 16-50, it's not fair!!! Lol.

Lol! You can tell I'm Asian from the tiny avatar pics??? Really? yes I am, but with Asians you don't look for wrinkles, you look for face sagging - that's how you generally tell age (jawline isn't sharp, or some indications of a jowl forming).

And yeah. There's this 23yr old at work whom I'm friends with and he's quite mature, but every so often he still says/does something that makes me facepalm and think "he's a little boy" lol!

Considering the fact that I'm turning 35 in a couple of weeks and that ONLY boys 20-23 have ever asked me out........ (and only had 16-23 ever hit on me). *sigh* It's not always desirable, trust me. Mostly because boys that age are not yet grown up despite what they may think. Usually I get guessed for mid-20's.

How do you do with other Alpha women?

Lol, depends on their personality. The ones who think they are always right grate on my nerves, the others who don't have that aspect to their personality, I tend to be good friends with.

Swee A few of my guy friends do too! I got in one heated argument about how white male guilt phenomenon is still not on par with the way women are treated. Now I'm a feminist. I think that just how people see strong women.

Lol, oh don't get me started. I suspect I might actually be a hardcore feminist. XD It's easy to get me worked up. (Though in my mind there's a difference between feminism and misandry - I subscribe to the former, not the later - I have a TON of male friends all of whom I love to bits)

Well you'd better start preparing to open you doer to a line up of sexy smelling but super starved hotties! We'll do all the dishes and then reapply our travel stash.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay. Reading the descriptions for Nov, this is likely my next order:

the 10 for $10ea UN pheros

trials of:

Soaked

Fuzzy Wuzzy

Enduring Appeal

Art of War

(plus Eye of the Storm)

bottle:

tarot: Temperance

I already see me not spending any more money on anything for the rest of the month. lol.

OH MY GOD. This is GORGEOUS. So light and bright, watery and cool! I want to wear this casually, but also afraid to because of the magical intent of the fragrance! But of the magical oils this might just be okay to wear regularly! Who can't use an oil to banish bad habits?

I LOVE this wet, but on drydown the mintiness comes out, but still with the fresh watery scent to it.

LOVE so much. I didn't think I could find one to top Nymph for me for the fresh crisp scent I like but this might just be it.

 

@ Moonholly, Willow's Caress is ART OF WAR. It's wonderful!

 

ARGH! I'm trying to find out what was in that PE!!! LOL! Not to mention I HAVE a book copy of Art of War on my bookshelf so this fragrance this month has piqued my interest!

Still not up to order? mmmm....they look good.

I know! I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow and wanted to get an order in before I left. XD

Okay. I don't know why the scent is completely different on my skin. I swear it morphs into this gross air freshener scent when first applied.
