Me too. I REALLY don't have spare cash this month but omg, the $10 sale had some bottles on my "I want to buy these sometime when I have extra cash" list. I may have to cash in some forum post credits to last this sale. lol.

Finally get to test this out tonight! Green and fresh and salty water is what I get. This is definitely a unisex (or I could see this being a men's cologne type) scent. Love it! I like how light and fresh it is, with a bit of that "greeny bite" (I'm comparing of course to my Snake PE, where it's all green and watery but a soft, not sharp green).

You know.... I FINALLY just tried LP Red last night. I had just never gotten around to ordering and trying it out, but decided to get a sample vial in my last order. The big reason is of course, I didn't think I'd like the scent, it's not really your watery green sort of scent I normally like. Strangely though, I DO like the smell of LP Red. Well, while it's fresh on my skin at least. It's so weird, this isn't something I thought I would like, but it's not bad at all. I kept sniffing my wrists for a good hour or so. And this scent lasts FOREVER on me. Somewhere in the few-hours-later of the drydown though, this scent goes all smoky on me, which is the part I'm not really fond of. So I think it's one to keep the sample vial of, but I'll need to think on it further if I actually like it or not. On the one hand I like the scent within the first hour or so of application but I don't like the later drydown.

Good to know. Hopefully she has Snake notes. lol.

It's totally worth the wait though I wish I didn't have to wait! LOL. And the funny thing is I don't feel like this is a personal PE for me only. I really did want to see Mara make a Snake potion, but figured I'd have to PE it to get one. lol. So I'm glad others get to experience it too! Too bad there were only 4 bottles made (2 for me and 2 went up on the forum). I agree too SW, it's a green scent but lacks that grassiness that a lot of green scents have, this one is just pretty and very refreshing. (Kind of like the green of a manicured and groomed garden rather than a "out in the wild" kind of green.)

Wow, It's morphing even MORE. You're right, it's one of those green scents where it's what you'd imagine your surrounding would smell like as you moved from one part of the garden into another. Amazing, I don't know if I've had another scent morph on me quite as much as this is doing right now. @_@ I think the vetiver is totally making it's presence known right now, earlier it was this amazingly soft, almost powdery watery green. Crazy I tell you! lol. I think Mara deserves all the credit here, I only went and said "please make me a Snake potion, I'll leave all the ingredients up to you!" LOL! Edit: And as long as it took me to write that - the vetiver is softening down, and it's becoming a bright green scent. This is seriously crazy. lol.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I got my PE!!!! THANK YOU so much Mara!!!!! EVerything else I ordered was amazing, and thank you for the extra sniffies! But seriously, that Year of the Snake PE is AMAZING. It's so perfect I kinda wish I got another backup bottle! in spray form! LOL. It IS light and refreshing.

OMG!!!!!! IT CAME!!!!!!!!!!! So I tore into my LPMP package and went straight for the PE. OMG. This is PERFECT. No seriously. It's the most perfect watery green perfume. It's a strange one though, where it smells completely different in the bottle and totally morphs on my skin! In the bottle it's this very refreshing light herbal green scent, which I'd be thrilled with, but ON my skin it completely changes and OMG this is when I really love this scent. It because this super soft watery green on me. The closest I can compare it to is Nymph (my favourite other watery green LPMP), but with less edge to it. It's not as strong. This scent is definitely a morpher, and I totally realize I haven't let my bottle rest from travel shock so I will try it again in a couple days to see if it changes, but I love it as is! Edit: And did I mention also amazingly refreshing??? Perfect warm weather potion. Plus also the label! lolol. It's one thing to see the label art, but another to see myself on a perfume bottle! I love it! Also: cannot wait to see the potion effects!

I LOVED Garbage's "World is Not Enough"!!! (But I have to admit I like Duran Duran so........ View to a Kill. *cheers*)

I grew up in the era of Timothy Dalton Bond. lol. So I have a fondness for them as a "I grew up with this one!" thing. Same for Pierce Brosnan because I watched him in the 80's on TV as Remington Steele (anyone still remember this??? LOLOLOL). But I have to admit, Daniel Craig makes a great Bond, I really like him in that role. (Sorry I'm too young to remember the other Bonds!)

Still nothing! I REALLY hope the package arrives by Friday because I'm going on vacation. I'd love to have some new smellies for my trip!

Oh wow, that's a crazy awesome pic of a snake!! Normally real pics of snakes freak me out (yes, laugh now, I'm freaked out by snakes... my birth year). And Stacy, that's awesome!

ooh! I'll want to sample that one at least!

Still waiting for my LPMP package from June! I can't stand it not that July releases are out, and I still can't smell my PE! lol.

HOLY CRAP!!! A Bond month???? My sister is a giant Bond fan. lol. And consequently got me into the films too! I can't wait to hear what's in them! And Katerina Suit - I LOVE THAT LABEL. I swear the model looks like Black Widow (from the Marvel Comics Avengers). I have no idea what's in it but I want it for the label!!! LOL.

LOLOL! That's a great photo find!

Eggers - yeah I only make 1 a month too! Especially with the extra shipping costs now. SW&Eggers - Have you two thought of getting a Rat PE with that as a label picture? lol. It might be awesome!

SW: The waiting for LPMP packages to get to me in Canada is so excruciating! lol. I'm usually too excited to smell everything but I have to wait WEEKS. And I don't have a good nose either - I have a hard time picking out notes too. No worries. And you guys! LOL. Don't take "water rat" literally! I think it'd be awesome to see what kind of good qualities rats have that you'd like to have in perfume/potion form! http://www.travelchinaguide.com/intro/social_customs/zodiac/rat.htm For example you might want a potion that amplifies the "smart, wealth and hard working" aspects of the Rat year... and since it says Rats may have trouble with concentration and stability you may want to get a potion that would have something that helps in those areas. And Mel - fire dragon sounds so incredibly awesome!! lol. EDIT: Also keep this in mind about Rats! (according to that site) Though people consider the rat not adorable, and it even makes its way into derogatory languages, it ranks first on the Chinese zodiac. It has attributes of an animal with spirit, wit, alertness, delicacy, flexibility and vitality.

Okay, I am STILL waiting for my LPMP package. I'm really curious what this potion smells like.... Anyone else who got a bottle want to write a review?? lol

I'm even wary of using ANYTHING vaguely sexual if I'm taking public transit. Social pheros only for me on the bus or train.

Lol, yes that's it. It feels clunky as a perfume. Like... it's sort of a perfume, but I don't feel like it's specifically "perfume-y" on me. I think it needs some lightening up and I can't believe I'm saying this, but yeah needs sweetening up too? Today I was volunteering for a local event and I knew I would likely be placed in tasks like crowd and line control, so the Dom phero was PERFECT. I probably did come off as way too much and assertive, but it was good for what I intended to use it for. I'm not sure if I like the scent, but I definitely like the Dom phero. Mind you, since the scent doesn't linger, and doesn't smell very obvious on me after about a half hour, I might not mind using Tabby every so often.

I got to try this out today (thanks for the sample Hazel!). And hmm, it's my first ever road test of Dominance. I think I like this phero. I will have to try out further in the future, but well, I'm not entirely sure if the phero had effects on other people, but it sure made me FEEL very confident and very assertive. Kind of like a get up and go, take charge sort of feeling. I'm normally already fairly confident and I can be assertive, so I think this amped it up. For scent.. this is an odd one. can't say I'm hugel;y fond of it. It smells strange, like strong and herbaly, but not the light herbals, more like.. strong herbals. Strangely, I didn't notice the fragrance after the initial strong hit of scent. I wore it but didn't smell it on me on drydown... I think it weakened a lot after the initial blast of scent on me.

Hmm thanks for the suggestion! I didn't even think of using Dominance!

SW - lol! You don't have to wait for me, honest! Beccah - oh! That sounds interesting and I'm definitely interested as well if you find out the book title. dolphindolls2 - look up your element as well! For example I'm a fire snake, but people born this year are water snakes.

SW: No, not yet, I'm in Canada so it takes a good few weeks for Mara's creations to get to me. I think you might actually receive it before me! Beccah: That's awesome to hear! Chinese astrology is funny, sometimes almost creepily accurate. There's this Chinese astrology birth chart - where it can predict GENDER based on the month of conception and various other things. I know it sounds totally bogus but it was right for pretty much all of my sisters and I!
