Oh yeah - I can see combining it with Sugared Woods, Grasses, Pine Needles, Oud, Oak Moss, and a couple of the musks for me. I can also see probably Pumpkin, Nutmeg and Pie Spices if you are so inclined.

I would but you know me haha!

Haha - I will work on it. I have a Summer scent, a work scent and I guess I need a Fall or Winter scent but Moon of the Falling Leaves, Winter Wizardry and North Pole are so good I am not sure where to go yet with anything new. It took me a while to get used to the different theory of scents here so there is still hope for your husband. Thank you for holding back but you ladies can say anything you want to about your guy or guys in general - I do not take it personal lol. In fact, I usually agree with you, not that I am perfect by any means. The forum is just mostly female and so there you go haha!

I am getting close lol ... seriously ... at least two more bottles during the sale haha.

I warned the ladies - I would like that last bottle of The Garage. Haha - I am getting almost as good as Luna - getting all but two of the bottles of my PE lol.

Haha - don't you ladies have enough scents in the last couple months to keep you busy without stalking! I guess the obvious answer is no! Indeed - I love the pheromas! And I hope all is well with The Duck!

Welcome to the forum! I came here for the pheros myself but stayed around because of the great company and great scents. We are all interested in what scents and pheros you have. You can let us know here but we all appreciate reviews. I created a thread in my journal that lists what scents and pheromones I have. To get a journal, you have to be active for 4 months and have 100 entries. And like the ladies said, this really is a "female" forum although guys are always welcome as long as you are polite.

Never silly to be excited!

I am glad both of you like it!! Despite what I said earlier - after wearing it for a few weeks on a very regular basis, I do get a slight hint of the leather after drydown. And I think your description of subtle and clean while masculine is perfect. I love this one. ETA: Fair Warning: If no one gets the last bottle by my next order, it is mine!!

6400 - closing in!!

The more is less approach to pheromones is often a "hard sell" to people starting out with pheromones especially. Everyone (including me) seems to have to do some kind of "massive over-dose" baptism by fire and at least one "everything but the kitchen sink" run to figure out it really does not work and probably does just the opposite of what you wanted. Both my wife and my mom (who of course know my pheromone signature quite well on what is probably a unconscious more than conscious level, both looked at me funny for several days when I first wore pheromones around them. The look from my wife was almost like she thought there was another woman. Just the opposite effect of what I was looking for lol. So going in low and subtle with the pheromones especially at first would probably help lower this effect.

Great idea methinks.

An almost direct quote about me from my wife lol - but then again, don't we all. Which of course is what Luna said ...

I'll try any scent. As long as it is manly enough haha!! Guilty!

I swear a certain carmaker (whom I shall not name here) has a built-in bank account sensor in every car. Just as we put a little money away ... BAM! And it is nothing unreasonable, not enough to make you want to get rid of the car, but still just a little $$.

I need to order some along with some more pheros.

As far as scents go, I have just about everything you ordered except the "Essentials" & Sugared F. Of the ones you listed, my "favorites" are Touchdown! w/MVP, Ambuscade, Teddy Man 2, Dirty Old Man, Iconic Tonic, North Pole, Salute w/Charisma & Winter Wizardry. I would really get a feel for the different pheros before you mix and match. Mara sells blends (for the most part) that are pretty well balanced out for what they are designed to do. I have a lot of individual molecules (I love b'nols) but never really add them to her blends. Not that you couldn't shift things a little to fit what you want to do, I just don't have the time. If you want to do so, make a thread in the mens pheromone section and we can discuss in more detail what exactly you want to do. It is OK to mention other products here as long as you are not hawking them.

There is a lot here on using pheromones. It was also pheromones that originally brought me here also. If you have any specific questions, I will try to answer them. With pheromones, I am sure you have read that often less is more. Start your dosing low and work your way up until you see what you are looking for. And run with a specific does a couple days to test the waters. Pheromones IMO merely grease the skids for you. People do what they are inclined to do. Pheromones just help push it along. The real work will always be up to you. Don't be surprised if those closest to you either do not react at first or if they look at you funny. The ones closest to you already have a strong notion of who you are. It is hard to shift that sometimes. Likewise they are also very familiar (subconsciously) with your pheromone signature and will unconsciously pick up on the change and then consciously wonder what is different about you. My mom spent the day looking at me like she was trying to figure out what had changed about me or what I was doing the first time I wore pheros around her. I just go about my day and let the pheros do their thing helping me along. I often do not see their effects until I look back on a given interaction.

Haha - I would be happy to mine organized in a way low key enough so that I do not irk Mrs. QG!

Haha - OK I was in the process of answering and the thread disappeared.

As stated before, I seeked this site out for something different, therefore intriguing smelling. Potion Master, on 21 Aug 2014 - 5:31 PM, said:Personally, I think I like Burnt Umber better than Cry Havoc. I think Havoc is a little more traditionally male, therefore sells better. luna65, on 21 Aug 2014 - 5:48 PM, said:In this case, all of Mara's products are the best. But some are definitely more popular than others. What Mara & Luna said. You have to remember that everything here is "something different". Plus here, herd here is more like a special opns team as opposed to an infantry division. It really is a matter of personal preference. I just happen to prefer Cry Havoc out of the ones you mentioned here. And I have only come across a couple scents I do not care for on my skin. For the most part, I just prefer some over others. And the samples are so economical you can't go wrong testing. And the other thing to remember is that because Mara does not use the chemical "fixers" the commercial brands use, everything here blends with your skin to create an even more unique scents. So even if you get the scent here that "everyone" (haha!) likes, it will be different on your skin than on just about anyone else.

Or maybe the part of the shop that sells scents as opposed to the part that sells handmade jewelry. Why? Do you know anybody opening a shop selling scents?

Of the first three, I really like Cry Havoc! cannot speak to any of the sugared line. I have a thread in my journal with current scents I have and which are my favorites. Half of them are probably favorites so that may not help too much, the the list is there.

Okay - so I am going to go around the country doing home living space additions now - back porches, pergolas/gazebos and and walk-in closets with built-in back-lit shelves just for LP bottles. Maybe a built in dresser with mirror, a small divan perhaps ...

Not one of the ladies - but like Luna said - depends on what. Excalibur IMO is maybe better day to day or more work friendly, but North Pole is a great Fall Winter scent without a doubt. I have more North Pole than Excalibur if that helps.

I will join you in said butt laughing off of.
