JOC Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 OCCO RED: Only tried a hint in inner knee (hey I ran out of room) but this smells very sickly sweet too, just not as heavily as the black. After awhile it turned medicine-y sort of. I will try again though. I've been reading over this thread about layering the OCCO's. Do you apply a dab of one then a dab of another right on top? Or a dab on one wrist and a dab of another on the other wrist and smoosh? Since I don't have full sized bottles, just the sample sizes, I am sort of confused on how much to apply. So far I've been conservative for just starting out until I see how they wear. Next off today: OCCO WHITE Sorry to hear the way OCCO Red turned out on you. It's my second favourite after OCCO White. I try not to smoosh anything with cops. For OCCOs, I usually apply it together either before or after my scent without drydown time between. I always apply it on my torso. I'll dab some off my torso and lightly share it between my wrists and the back of my neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calii Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) Oh yeah, Calli (I think it was you) suggested OCCO PINK with Cougar blend. DO you mean the Cougar Blend scent or just the phero? I have Cougar Blend and like the effects, just not the scent so much. Could I trya and layer it with OCCO PINK? Yes...Cougar Potion is the scented ...and Stone Cougar is the unscented blend,oh yeah I love the effects of both Funny thing is,I did not love the scent the first time I tried it,but now I do! That happens a lot,you will be surprised, I always recommend trying a scent several times over...at least I am a smoosher,this is from my LP Red & Occo Red thread: After 2 months of wearing this very often,I am loving it just as much,if not more I have changed how I apply it...I put the Occo Red on top of my left wrist,smoosh it with the underside of my right wrist...reverse the procedure with LP Red...then smoosh both wrists up and down my chest,under boob area and to belly And often I do this again just before going to sleep,because I LOVE that "smokey" smell that fully developes on me after about 6 hours !!

LOLOLOLOLOL Seriously, I will put white on one wrist and black on the other, and rub them together....smooshing them all up while still good and wet......on my neck, I will just roll them both on and them take a wrist or hand to rub and mix them together a little bit..... Definitely second what Calii said about testing....set a scent aside for a few, if it doesn't work for you the first couple times....sometimes they will even smell different at different points in your cycle.....hormones can affect it. I have some that I love now, that I didn't particularly care for at first..... Edited April 23, 2011 by Dolly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 The other thing to remember is that with Mara's production cycle, it means the scents she creates every month are just-brewed, and their character will change the longer they age. So a scent which might not appeal now will likely be different later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raq On Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 OOOOH so many combos t try. Can't wait! I am confused about one thing though. In other threads it says you can wear too many pheros and get overloaded, thus not receiving any response. If you mix Comp. positoins with say, Sparkle Fuscia, is that too many for the brain to handle? Is that in reference to cops or just all pheros in general? Cause I'm thinking of mixing some of the OCCO's with Cougar Potion. Overload? By the way, I like the smell of the cops in the OCCO's. I don't think it smells like rotting fruit or chees. I think it actually smells like ..... well, ya know, what we all hope the cops will lead to... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, you need a pretty good cover...... Armpit .... haha, I like that one. But seriously, I only added a couple of dots as I didn't want UN Sexpionage to clash with the Cougar in SF. All UN pheros with EoW smells almost the same to me. @Raq On - If your cougar potion (scented or unscented) is not boosted with EoW, you should be able to add some OCCO since it's a scented perfume loaded with EoW. It just adds an additional dimension to swaying your hips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna65 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 It could be, it all depends on the person. It is advised not to layer mixes (although cops can be layered with just about anything) but people do layer mixes (I've done it myself, for example, though only a couple times) to varying degress of success. It really just comes down to just giving it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raq On Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Oh was meaning to ask this today: what about weapon X? I like the scent but a bit too masculine, do you think I could layer it with one of the OCCO's? I was thinking something to counteract the manly scent, maybe OCCO white? Yo all are waaay more experienced at what smells good together. What do you think?

In other words, you need a pretty good cover...... Twin is right - At least to my nose - UN-Sexpionage is actually harder to cover than straight cheese - I mean EOW. Sweet Baby Jesus but UN-Sexpionage is HARD to cover. Hard enough that I am thinking the only thing that would work is a big bodacious summer fruit bomb of a scent - as fruit covers nearly anything. I am guessing several kinds of melons (and how appropriate would that be right?!) would be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly B Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Ok - finally did a massive order (the divorce ate my budget so I only just gave myself permission to LPMP-out) and under the OCCO Category... OCCO Pink: LOVE this. So surprised. I'd wear this "neat". So girly and yummy and NO COPS smell after dry down! SCORE!!! Not my dirty ol' self but the HSF does *not* love that so this might be a candy coated compromise that we both can live with. Since he sneezes like a beast at both OCCO White and OCCO Gold - I can't sneak even a drop past him - I'll be dying to see if I can sneak the cops in this by him. The cops bring him up from the dead - duh - but with the stuffed up nose and sneezing from Gold and White - I'm hoping for a different outcome... OCCO Green: So - 1st - a birthday thank you to Mara and John for including in the order. I'd never ever have bought it on my own. And when wet I thought EEEEUUUUUWWWWW. Surprisingly - an hour or two later - I'm getting daffodils, spring, green grass and nature. Not my thing - but for the nature boy? It might just work. And again - give it a full dry down - and I think this actually covers cops better than White or Gold. I can't smell one teensy tiny drop of them in there. And it's not like I haven't been monkeying with cops since 2008. I'm not Dolly or Ail. But I do know cheese when "I smells cheese." I give both the Pink and the Green two HUGE thumbs up.

I like the smell of the green in the test tube. Can't wait to try it. maybe tomorrow. I am liking the OCCO black to mix with others.

luna65 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I have learned that sometimes, the backs of your hands are not the best place to apply fragrance because you need blood flow/body heat to make them bloom. Without body heat some perfumes go "flat" or weird, in my experience. Generally the more weighty/robust a scent is, the more it needs heat for diffusion and to breathe.
