OCCO - Please review ALL "flavors" in THIS thread

[BlueBear]

After it's dried, I don't smell any cops at all in Blue, but I tend to amp the oakmoss a bit, so i think that might be helping with coverage for me.

[Eggers]

I can still smell the cops a bit after Blue dries down. Just a teeny-tiny bit. But it seems almost like that little bit is meant to shape part of the scent. I don't mind it most days. Blue is one of my favourite OCCOs.

Oakmoss is in some of my favourite perfumes here. It can start off a little pointy in some, but generally it softens into a cushy pillow for the rest of the notes to cuddle on. That's what I think of it as: a softener. It smells powdery, and just a little bit clean laundry-ish to my nose.

[NuTrix]

I'm going to have to wear it again today...maybe just the lollipop and keep it out of the cleavage so the pointy start off won't be right under my nose.

 

I really love the sugary finish it has and the scent itself is very sheer to me. I think I'll wear it solo so I get the full "flavor". I didn't think I could smell the cops after the dry down either but I DID cover it with LOC so I need to give it a fair shot on it's own.

 

I want to LOVE it...maybe it's like some of my other favorites and I just need to give it that first 45 minutes to and hour to settle down into it's prettiness. AND I'm curious if I will smell cops later or not...hmm.

[tyvey]

@storemy blue is the only one that I could smell the cops in, too. The others, I don't dry down AT ALL. blue, I allowed for a bit, thought it was good to go, but then went out and about and I just REEEKED of cops, was so embarrassed, and it smelled like I smelled but had tried to cover it by rubbing laundry sheets all over myself. (Totally my fault I know for not drying down properly, plus I am just generally not a fan of the fresh clean scents of this kind.)

 

Funny thing though, I was mostly only around guys and they not only didn't complain but it was BY FAR the most obvious hits I ever got with an occo. Like whiplash doubletakes and stuff. Prob both the scent - sounds like lots of men out there love that clean laundry thing, like sneaky clean - and the cops I guess.

Ah, see? And I only get a little whiff of the cops every now and again after dry-down. I can tell they're there.

When I first wore Blue, I hadn't ever smelled cops on their own before, so maybe that's why my nose just recognizes that smell as another scent note? I don't know. I don't find it offensive at all, but probably because it doesn't seem to overpower the rest of the notes. It feels as if that whiff is *supposed* to be there. But then again, maybe that's 'cause I didn't know when I first wore it that it wasn't. Now my brain has just incorporated that scent into the whole.

[NuTrix]

Ok. Put on Blue after my shower and granted, the red tide only ended yesterday - OR - maybe not having it on the boobs under the nose really helps - but it doesn't seem as pointy today.

 

I did smoosh the lollipop with my wrists and if, I smell Blue directly on my wrist, I read that note but it isn't so sharp today UNLESS I have it right under my nose. I don't notice the cops anymore but I've been wearing it now for an hour or so...I'll keep checking...I REALLY like how light this wears for something so heavily copped!

 

EDIT:

This has some serious staying power! It's still here but very much more sugary. It has been well received by hubby, who has chased me around the house today every chance he's gotten (I've let him catch me twice so far ^_~

 

I think it must be the oak moss that was pointy yesterday, but keeping Blue to my torso and wrists and away from my cleavage seemed to do the trick. I still can't get over how clean and fresh this smells for something so loaded with cops - it's crazy - but in a good way

After getting to try a little sniffie of the OCCO Blue, I got one each: NOCO and OCCO. I'm wearing one on one arm and the other on the other arm. Boy, can I tell the difference!! The NOCO is coming across very fresh and outdoorsy. I can say "Yes, that's Blue" but less sweet. The OCCO, holy cow, I smell cops big time. On first roll, it smelled strongly... STRONGLY. Twangy and almost vinegar like. I think I can smell it more in Blue than I have in any other scent I've worn!

 

If I had any questions before, I can honestly say now that cops do change a scent. Along with the twang, it's maybe a bit sweeter. (?) It feels like it brings out the sweeter parts of the scent more because the NOCO strikes me as more tobacco and oakmoss (I'll assume since I've not smelled that on its own). Basically I don't get as much sugar in the NOCO.

 

Now that the OCCO is drying down, I can tell that the cops is melding and not so powerful. I think I like it better. The twang really kind of adds something to the mix. AND, although it may be that I'm still just in super sexed up mode after two weeks away from my husband but I have to say, even when the cops were a tad obnoxious... it kind of turned me on sniffing my arm. That was different. I don't normally have such a strong sexual response myself from cops but now I can't stop sniffing. This could become my personal libido lifter. I wonder if he's recovered from this weekend.

[StacyK]

I LOVE the scent of OCCo blue after the dry down.

[StoremyWhether]

I do too!!! I'd definitely use the NOCO as a base but I have to say, the OCCO wins hands down for favorite between the two. It gives me a better idea for the future whether to go with or without now that I can really tell the difference.

[hearts]

OCCO White is sooo cops stinky on me at application. It's awful. But I know it will meld quickly and the cops smell goes away completely after a good 20 min. I just put it on before I do my hair/makeup in the morning and I'm good to go. This dries to the perfect vanilla. I like to layer this with just about any scent. I can never be without this!

Edited October 30, 2013 by hearts

[tyvey]

wow, really? none of them smell on me at all, even first moment, except OCCO blue. do you shake it? don't know that it would make a difference (I never shake mine) but maybe...?

Edited October 30, 2013 by tyvey

[hearts]

Yep I shake it like crazy. All the OCCOs reek on me at first, then have to dry down completely. (Actually I've only tried Pink, White and Blue) The only one that never is smelly is Ambrosia.

[Bella15]

Hearts, I think we have the same skin chemistry - I've noticed on several threads how alike we are! OCCO White is super coppy on me too, for a long time. I can wear Ambrosia, Blue, Pink, and Red almost right away, but White has to dry down for at least 15-20 mins.

Really? Cool! How is Red on you? I've been meaning to sample that one but always forget to order it...

[Bella15]

All I have is a sample, and honestly, I haven't worn it in forever! it's down to a teensy amount in the vial though, so I must have liked it. I will try it out tomorrow and report back

 

Edited: it's a sweet, spicy scent, very similar to LP Red.. hmm, the sweetness must be due to the cops, because it fades really quick. Mostly spice now, 3 minutes in.

HOLYCRAP! OCCO Black is R.I.D.I.C.U.L.O.U.S!

 

I was fearful when some of the comparisons of OC Black were saying the patch was more prominent but it turns out I totally LOVE that about it. Yes. I said it. Patch and love. In the same sentence. I want to roll in this like catnip...and I probably will later tonight when it's just myself and the man This is just scrumilicious!

 

There is something weird about it that makes me think of birch beer...yeah, my nose is retarded, but as long as I'm loving it - who cares!?

 

Snarfelumpigousliciousness.

 

That's all I've got to say about that.

[NuTrix]

OK. I've actually got this on all for myself at the moment and if anything comes of the hubs, then it's all just bonus

 

This could become my new night time scent for bed. This is gorgeous (I do have a bit of LP Black on too and they are AMAZING together) and I will be only too pleased to have wafts of this caressing me in my dreams - HOLY GORGEOUS! Oh, I said that already, lol, but I really mean it! This is woodsy on me - I don't know how else to describe it - earthy? No. Not like dirt earth definitely more woodsy, like bark on a tree - but not just that. It's a strange kind of sweet too and yet it works amazingly together. Are the OCCOs permanent? I can see becoming addicted to this one

[irish eyes]

After reading how the OCCOs can conceal the cops smell, I ordered OCCO White. I applied this sparingly for the first try. A single 5" line from just under my breasts towards my belly button. I have to say that I was really doubting the whole idea of hiding the cops smell but this did a wonderful job. I have had previous experience with some EoW and all I can say is that one drop of that is far smellier than the whole bottle of OCCO. I love the vanilla after the dry down. I was hoping that it didn't turn to a waxy candle vanilla and it didn't. I detect ZERO cops smell after dry down. Today I am wearing it paired with Rocket Fuel and I smell scrumptious. I am not really going to be around people today but I wanted to apply it and see how it smelled before subjecting others to it. Now I may have to find a reason to go shopping.......maybe at a Menards or Home Depot where the men tend to go. LOL

 

 

 

ETA: I think I will get a sample of Red and Pink in January to check those out

LOL! You go GURL! Teheheee....Bet you like Red and Pink too. I think they are sweeter than their LP perfume counterparts but I love them both. Can't wait to see what you think of them Love the "I smell scrumptious" part - too true too

[irish eyes]

Like I said I have tried EoW ( Not from LP) and the smell was a combination of Ass/stinky feet/bad cheese/ and wet cardboard all put together x100. Even one drop was awful to me after dry down it was still nasty to me. I am so surprised at how well it is covered and that even when wet it is not offensive to me at all, just more of a heavy waxy vanilla. This is heavenly....I think I will be using it as a layer frequently. Next time I use it I may try the smiley face but today I still smell the vanilla so I know the cops are finding there way through my clothes.

[Angelica]

Recently received my first order ~ and have been trying items individually to see how

they work with my chemistry. This is the second item I have tried ... and at first ~

smelled of a vanllla candle (but not a "high-end" boutique kind of candle)...however,

virtually immediately upon application (no more than 3 or 4 minutes) ... it bloomed

into the most beautiful, and true vanllla scent (a little less sweet than a vanilla

extract). Could not detect any cops whatsoever ...just the lovely vanilla scent.

I can definitely see this being a staple of my Love Potion products in the future ~

to both wear alone.. and think it would be very versatile as it could be layered with

so many other items, as well.

I think I'm fortunate so far ... first (2) products I have tried...both work well with

my chemistry ~ and I absolutely love!

[irish eyes]

So I went to a Menards yesterday with the Rocket Fuel/OCCO White combo....All I can say is WOW!!!. It was almost cartoonish of sorts. I decided I would go looking for some of those 3M things that let you stick things on the wall but can easily get them back off. Had an idea they were in the fastener isle but I walked up and down most of the other isles. Not just cruising...I like the home improvement stores way better than the mall. LOL

 

I was making my way to the isle where I thought they were...I passed quite a few guys on the way. Some turned their heads to look at me. When I got to the isle, it was empty of people so I was looking for them and glanced down the isle and saw two guys( two that I passed earlier).....looked some more and glanced back down the isle and there were four guys( also two more that I had passed earlier) ...it was funny because they were all just looking at stuff on the shelf and not actually grabbing anything. I found what I was looking for and it was on a higher hook but I could reach it. Never the less one of the men offered to grab it for me and when reaching for it, he brushed up against me and took some time getting the thing off of the hook like it was stuck. He was pretty close when he handed it to me and I said I needed two ( I really did need two but would have said that even if I didn't since I was basking in the moment) He reached up and got another one. I had stepped back one step to be out of his way and when he was grabbing it, he stepped one step closer to me. He handed it to me then stood there a bit like he didn't know what to say next. I saw a ring on his finger so I thanked him and made a comment about our current cold snap then headed to the check out.

 

One of the other guys had gotten in line right behind me and was standing a bit close. I have a pretty big personal bubble so I am very in tune when people are in my space. I could have sworn I could hear him smelling me. LOL

 

 

In the future, I see myself buying a bunch of hardware that I don't need. I just hope it doesn't graduate to power tools.

 

 

 

Rocket Fuel and OCCO White............Winning combo!!!

[Eggers]

LOL! Nice report Irish Eyes!

Is it Calii who say one of the best places to test pheros is Home Depot! Guess she's right on the money there!

[irish eyes]

Well I have found that home improvement stores and meat markets are good places to find men. LOL

 

I will add to the above story that I was wearing jeans, hiking boots and a big gray hoodie under my coat. So I wasn't trying to hard....I think the Maple-Vanilla combo just brought them in closer and the SS4W and Cops made them want to stay there. A scent that had more dominant overtones may not have had the same effect since men there like to be helpful.

I've just started wearing my Occo White a bit lately and it's a really lovely delicious vanilla scent. It's interesting though- the first two times I wore it the weather was a bit cooler and I couldn't smell any cops at all. Then I wore it yesterday, and in my part of Australia at the moment it's all gross and hot and humid (I'm so jealous of all of you who get a white Christmas!) and I smelled the cops for the first time. It smelled like an off vanilla cheesecake until it all dried down- it kind of disturbed me as I thought it might have gone off in the heat or something.

 

I currently keep my phero blends in a large wooden box in my bedroom, under my bed (I have the blinds drawn down and everything too)- do you think this is enough protection against disgustingly over-the-top Australian heat? It's times like this I wish I lived in the Northern hemisphere...

[Bella15]

I think if they're in a wooden box, under your bed, they're fine. That's the same way that my OCCO White smells... it just takes a while to dry down

[JOC]

It should be fine. It's also hot and humid in summer over here. Sometimes, we hit 42C in the day and nights are usually at least 32C. I keep my opened LPs in wooden boxes in the drawers in my bathroom. My LP vault comes in a form of wooden boxes and stored in my wardrobe.

Rocket Fuel and OCCO White............Winning combo!!!

Agreed! And I've had that reaction A LOT They aren't sure what's drawing them, but they feel like they should say something but genuinely have no idea what And I'll bet that other fella DID sniff you...you would have smelled divine to me!

[vladmyra]

Thanks Molls & Joc, that's a relief. I don't want to be ruining my preciouses.

 

Joc, your summer weather sounds a lot like mine, so if your lovelies are alright then mine should be good too.

[irish eyes]

I think now I am addicted to the scent of OCCO White. I will have to get some NOCO White because I want to slather it and do not want to become a Cops Ho. Clever though it is...innocent vanilla scent lofting through the air that carries with it the message of sex.... LOL Can't wait until January when I can try some of the other scents. Red and Pink for sure.....maybe Gold.

Edited December 12, 2013 by irish eyes

[StacyK]

I love all the Occos. They go so well with many LP perfumes. The Pink is a girly/sexy swirl of fruity pink sugar, the Gold feels like richly layered honeys, Blue is cool, clean and crisp and a little floral with a twirl of sex underneath, Red is hot spicy, fruity, sexy and Black is all resins (no vanilla or fruit here) very glamorous grown up sexy. It's very close to Ann's Brown-sugar black amber. It's hard to know who to be some days.

[irish eyes]

Today I mixed some OCCO White with my sample of Ambre Amour ( 2/1) Wow talk about a great Vanilla Amber scent. I haven't seen any other scents like that but i keep looking. I am going to get a sample of Sugared Amber to see if that works just as well with a tad of vanilla or if it is too sweet. The AA works great against the OCCO vanilla.

I think I will be getting samples of blue and black as well. I am sure I will end up with FB of them all but for now will get to know the scents a bit.....January really needs to hurry up and get here LOL.

[Bella15]

Samples are great, and as long as you don't slather, they last awhile. Mine lasted a couple months, lol. I love OCCO Blue the best, it's just so pretty. But I also have OCCO White, because it goes with damn near anything. I did have OCCO Pink, but I found I liked LAM Pink Amber a bit more. OCCO Black was way too resinous for me. I traded my samples of OCCO Gold and Green and Purple away so long ago, I don't remember what they smelled like now. I would like to have a bottle of OCCO Red. I have a sample but it's almost gone.

[NuTrix]

I thought I would love Gold, and I do like it very much, but it goes quite powdery on me - like a number of honey scents I have do - and it's clean and soft and pretty with my chemistry. However, hubby says I smell like a clean baby's bum after powdering?!?!?! THAT is NOT sexy! BUT there are other men who just LOVE that clean, powdery scent and go nuts over me when I wear it...but I'm not interested in their reaction so much as hubby's - as you can imagine

 

I love the White and Pink. They are delicious to me, no getting around it.

 

Red I like to layer with LP Red. As a matter of fact I rarely don't wear them separately. My skin eats up LP Red and OCCO Red seems to give it better sticking power when I layer it down first and the put LP Red over it.

 

Black is crazy. It's very patch forward to my nose, which I didn't think I would ever go for but I like it VERY much!

 

And the surprise horse in this race? Blue! I was REALLY not sure about this one but I think I'd have to say - even though I'm a super fan of the foodie scents - that this one is my favorite. On the site it says those who like CB will love this...I "like" CB, not my favorite, but I like it, floral/clean...OCCO Blue is WAY better to my nose and chemistry. It's light and fresh and completely unique to most scents I normally reach for. I don't find it floral OR clean like CB...I don't find them alike at all But I can say I do LOVE Blue and it's a favorite

[irish eyes]

Blue seems to be one that people either love or don't. I am excited to see how it will work on me. I already know I can't be without at least one OCCO available at any given time. I will see if the samples spread out into full bottles...and I am guessing I will end up with a couple FB of different OCCO scents.

Green is like a super green floral. It reminds me of Betrothal potion. Not exactly the same but idea wise. It's a bright, loud green floral. It just screams pollenate me! lol

The oakmoss and tobacco is why I love Blue so much too. It is such a comfortable scent. Completely different from Cuddle Bunny to me.

^^^YES! I wasn't sure what oakmoss would lend to it, or smell like, but I LOVED the line up of all the other notes and now that I've got it I'm hooked!
