I really like this one, I got a sample to ensure this would work for me, and its a great night time scent, I'm so glad it does not have lavender in it as I have so others with that note that I love to have a non lavender that can multitask, nighttime and everyday wear to calm me down.

No there's no voting involved - this is just a thread for people to share their ideas and if someone wants a sounding board or has questions, then we all can help out with that too.  It's just like the regular Your Potion Ideas thread for PEs except that Mara wanted a separate thread because it's a special circumstance since it's part of the annual sale.

 

When the official Sale! thread is posted then we'll have the details about how to order the PEs on the website, we just wanted to preview it here (and in the other thread) so that people have time to think about what they want to do with their PEs if they plan to order.

@luna65, thank you so much for clarifying the process.  I'm so excited PE's will open.

Wear it very lightly, I tend to slatherer my fragrance all over me and I have learned that with anything aja in it I have to do a very light small swipe, a little goes a long way

I forgot my own advice, I wore this late yesterday for a work event and I slathered this on, and everyone was making sniffing noises like something stuck, I guess it was me... I love this blend but I have to use a light swipe and got carried away.. Please take my advice, on this one swipe very lightly...A little dab of this goes a long way...

Are we supposed to vote on these? If so, I'm casting my vote for this one! I'd totally buy something called Soggy Fairies, for the name alone. 😄

@luna65 or Mara, please let us know if we vote on the top one or do we order when it becomes available or if you have a process we need to follow once it opens.

Thank you so much for opening the PE's

The PE I would like to have made is just one ---- Black Panther

Black Panther

Notes are:

• Black Orchid
• Black Plum
• Sweet Musk
• Black Amber

I would be happy to go in with anybody that would also like this PE

😳 That kind of heat sounds unbearable. Much worse than flooding rains.

 

That perfume was well before my time, so I have no idea what it smells like, but it sounds nice.

The heat was completely unbearable and I left Pheonix to go to a family wedding in Nashville, TN and it was 80 to 90 most days and everyone was complaining but me, I was happy to be in anything under a 100...I wore this blend Thursday, Friday and Saturday...

I found  a bottle of this I had stashed in my office in Phoenix, I wore this straight for 3 days and happy to say I'm heading back home to Michigan today, this place is hot as hell and no relief in site, thank goodness our plant has two generators and two AC units as backup as the AC went out on day 1 of this visit and they had it back up and running by day 2, its so hot we had to close the plant down, since the AC went down and it was a 120 in the plant with no ac... dang, these high temps are too much for me as I get older...

This blend is so good aged, I hope at some point this can be recreated, I really love Mara's unique blend...It's a kick ass kind of blend that lets you get the job done in record speed... 

So glad I found this bottle and its not safely packed in my luggage and heading home with me...I'm off to a family wedding so will not be posting again till Monday, happy weekend one and all

This was a surprise for me, very nice floral that is not overly cloying. The seawater accord is more in the background for me and the other notes take center stage...I would grab a bottle of this is you have not done so

I'm a floral gal and this one does not disappoint, this one is amazing on its own or blended with Sugared Orchid. The staying power on this one is really great and I love that the sugar gives it more depth....If you love floral, try and grab a bottle of this one...

I love this on me, its very light and its a good base to add other sugar blends to... I have worn this with Sugared Orchid, Lilies, Peony and Pineapple.  This is really just a beautiful light and airy blend...I love the sugar collection so much and I hope one day it comes back

I really like this one, I used it a few nights ago to sleep and it was like someone wrapped a heavy blanket on me, its so comforting to wear.  I love that its got a feeling of being in a cozy setting and just feeling so peaceful. I'm so glad I was able to score 1 bottle and its really been such a great and unique blend to wear.  It's completely out of my comfort zone of what I normally wear...

Now that this is aged for a few years, I tried this on again yesterday prior to showering and as others have stated --- if you LOVE --- Gossamer Thread, this blend is very  similar and gives of the same vibe but yet its a bit more complex.  The vanilla in this grounds this blend so nicely and the musk and the myrrh round out the symphony of this blend... I like how its similar but yet different and different in a good way.

I wanted to wait till my sample had a few weeks to calm down before giving a review and all I can say is this is MY FAVORITE rebrew of this blend. The honey is this is very slight which for me is good as honey will overpower a blend on my skin... I was very nervous that this was not going to work on me as I do not like almond and almond and my skin chemistry hate each other, but the almond came and went and the dry down was just pure bliss... I'm so excited that Mara does these rebrews of classics and tweaks them to give all of us a new version and new opportunity to love an old classic.

This is so unique and so good, if you love licorice and tomato, this scent is for you. I think this is better for a guy to wear.  It's got a masculine vibe to it and it very herbal but in a good way...It reminds me of being out in the garden and planting with the dirt all day, this is very long lasting and its truly a one of a kind scent....

I’m on the fence about this scent in the full bottle. In the test vial and on my skin it was such a fresh melon summer scent, so I ordered a full bottle. It has had time to settle after travel but all I am getting on my skin is lime/lemongrass flavour liquor. As in, I wouldn’t wear it to the office for the fear of people thinking I had a drink before work. After about an hour, the strength of liquor note fades, but I am not getting melon at all. Is it possible it’s a different batch? Or should I just leave the bottle to settle a little longer?

I like the sample I received on this one, but was nervous to order a full bottle as fermented alcohol never works on my skin chemistry, thank you for the review of the full bottle version, its really helped me narrow down what is in y next order....

I really love this one, I wore it a few days ago when I went out to meet some colleagues after work and everyone complimented me on this scent, now that its aged, the chocolate in this is divine and melds so beautifully with the other notes...  Now that its aged the amber in this is so good....

Hi everyone,

What would you recommend as far as phero/fragrance for a job interview? It’s for a government office/admin position. I’m 58. It’s in a small fairly rural town, so I’m not exactly swimming with sharks, but am thinking of that phero maybe. ?  I wore a yummy mango scent with Levitation for my last job interview (sorry, I can’t recall the name, it was a LPMP scent) and got the job. The female VP who interviewed me was super friendly and nice and we ended up talking and laughing and having a great time together, and I got the job! I know, somewhat weird choice for an interview but I was a pheromone newbie then. However, I am certain it affected her positively and it turned out to be perfect. The woman who is interviewing me tomorrow is my age or older and is rather conservative (as is the whole office) and is SUPER organized. She’s been there a while. Thought of Cougar, but I only have it in Cougar Panther, which is okay but I don’t like very much. I need to go somewhat subtle since I think it’s a fairly small room I will be interviewed in. Is it more the scent or the pheromone or both? What have you used successfully for job interviews? Thank you in advance! 
*edited for fixing (incorrect) spelling corrections forced on me by auto correct. 

I have used Mega Watt and Levitation and scored both jobs that I interviewed for

It's only in the beginning, really.  The orchid becomes stronger as it dries down, IMO.

@luna65, thanks for letting me know that the orchid becomes stronger as it dries down...

Even though cocoa butter can evoke a chocolate-type impression, I don't get that from this.  it just sort of underscores the fruity impression of the banana.  It's not quite the fresh banana of Coquin, but it certainly has more of a fruity impression that most banana-type scents.  I feel like maybe the orchid and the cocoa butter are really melding together, in that way it reminds me a bit of Pherodise more than, say, Cacao Amor.  The orchid emerges more in the drydown, a distinct presence apart from the other tropical elements enfolding it.

@luna65, thank you so much for this detailed review. I love Orchid, but it seems this blend has the banana coming out strongly, I'm so going to order a sample of this

Just found this in an old purse I use only for special events...this is so amazing now that its had time to age...It's dark, juicy and delicious. I really love how the fruits come out so beautifully and at the very end the apricot.

Oh, how are you using CP to sleep?🤔 Asking for a friend

I just put it on about 30 minutes, prior to bed and drift off to sleep.

I really love this blend, and will be ordering a FB with my next order, this one is great for me to get a good nights sleep

I wore this blend out last night to an event and oh my gosh every person asked me what I Was wearing, I love this one so much. This is a bright and cheerful summer fragrance to wear 

Thank you @Wanderlust and @Artemis for your steller reviews of this one. When I first saw the label before the notes were announced I knew it would be a full bottle, as I'm an Orchid lover, but then when I saw it had chocolate and banana, I felt those two notes would overtake the blend and my beloved Orchid would not come thru... I'm going to order a sample of this in my next order to see if I like it on my skin....thank you both for letting me know that the Chocolate is not prominent.
