Dolly Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 OK, I think I need a bottle of this one.....it is bright and stimulating and fresh....at first I get a lot of grapefruit, but some of the notes peeking out, such as the bergamot.....but once it dries down, I get mostly fruit and mint, and it is very light and pleasant......I like this one......and I already KNOW that I like Focus Potion.....BOTTLE, PLEASE!!

luna65 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) I enjoy the scent, it really is invigorating, but it doesn't seem to "stick" on me, it lasts maybe an hour or less. I think I really need to slather because I'm not truly feeling the right vibe (or it could just be I'm an addled mess no matter what, which is fairly likely).

Potion Master Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I tried to express in the description that this is really not a strong "PERFUME". The aroma of the perfume doesn't last more than a few hours on me either, I can smell the pheros outlasting the scent every time. It's more an herbal/EO/aromatherapy+phero union. Personally, I have really nice results rubbing it on my temples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelly B Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I put it on the backs of my hands also.... Hi Dolly - How do the phero's hold on with hand washing? I generally do tops of wrists but not usually hands because it seemed wasteful due to handwashing BUT if they linger anyway - new application point! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therapygirl Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I do backs of wrists and lower arms to avoid loss during washing. I also do backs of hands and reapply after washing. I know you didn't ask me but just my two cents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sultry brunette Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I will start here by saying that I love the unscented focus potion. I have it added to several of my scents as an add-on and it totally works. I love wearing it to work when I have deadlines hanging over my head. I really am able to focus and “get ‘er done.” So for the phero portion of this scent, it rocks. OK, so for the scent of this… It doesn’t overwhelm or underwhelm me. It isn’t one that I love, but I also don’t dislike it. It has a hint of citrus, yet also feels like it has a hint of mint. So, it is warm and cool at the same time. Balanced. Very good given the purpose. It is nice and undistracting, which might be good if you are trying to focus (you won’t be busy huffing yourself). For the intent, it is a great scent that doesn’t attract a lot of attention one way or another. When you need to really focus on a deadline or project and not be bothered, this may be just what you need; a scent that is nice, balanced and unassuming.

Beccah Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Oh boy, this was powerful in the vial to me. Mint is overwhelming to me, though. I want to try it on if I can handle the mint,lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 i've used this a couple times and totally forgot to blurb. scent-wise, it smells like fruit punch on my skin, and effect-wise, it keeps my mind from the wandering it often does...great for work. although, i have found that if i use too much, i do get a bit of a faintly headachy, burnt out kinda feeling.

cinnamonmel Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I absolutely love this initially, the freshness of it is lovely, unfortunately my skin turns it into a sickly fruitpunch, which isn't my kind of thing. However, I put this on just before going to bed one night (I have a sleep disorder, my brain won't regulate my sleep patterns, and it's made worse by stress, so this was an experiment to see if being more focused on say going to sleep lol, would help, as my medication doesn't seem to) and oh my goodness... I felt calm and relaxed, and felt myself slowly drifting into sleep....when...my littlest daughter sleeping next to me, turned and vomited on my face. If I get woken when I am just falling asleep, I am horrible normally, I feel really cross, but this time I was uber-calm, and I am a bit phobic about sick too. I was able to calmly strip and remake the bed, put the washing machine on, redress the baby and go back to sleep without feeling at all stressed. Pretty good huh! I want some of this in a custom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 OK, I was just wearing this today because I like the light smell and it seemed appropriate for a nice, sunny day like today. However, the phero blend has had me feeling antsy all day. So, I took care of that darn Census form, went to the bank, went to the supermarket, and now I'm busting out the freaking vacuum cleaner...somebody stop me!

paganlady Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Holy Tunnel Vision Batman! I wore some of this over my Vamp Bait today at work, as I am being trained (sit, roll over). I love the smell, it never got beyond the light mint & citrus scent with me. Anyhow, as far as focus WHOA! Super focused, calm & cookin' with gas today. I wonder if I can still get this one unscented... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) Focus Potion is one of the blends Dr. Stone created, so it should always be available (or at least not become extinct any time soon).

Calii Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Ok,I don't want to start a stampede but does this kill anyone else's appetite? LOL,or maybe I was just so focused I did not think about being hungry ? I tried this early this am,had a lot of chores to catch up to.It was 10 am when I came in to shower and I realized I had not eaten,nor was I hungry...hmmmm. Oh,I like the scent ok,it is bright.I swiped it on my collar bone and sides of my neck so the pheros would waft up.Did a small swipe under my nose,but somehow got that taste in my mouth,so won't be doing that again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladybegood1 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 This one is a nice kick in the fanny on the draggin butt kind of days. I get the scent of fresh picked mint with a mellow green herbal after dry down. I really like the bright happy feel of this scent/phero combo. I do lose the full on scent signature after about 45 minutes or so, but will occasionally catch a sample of it as I move. I think this will become a regular for me, I like it that much!

You can have any scent boosted with Focus POTION,mind you this will be 3x the strength of Focus Pocus...I would suggest Fawn's Celestial Dream,or Peppermint Patty Or you could get a bottle of unscented Focus Potion,and cover with what you like. <I have Focus Pocus and the unscented Focus Potion,and will be using my PPatty with the UN> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need to go back to brown rice & white beans rather than cookies and FUDGE I have been off carbs since the last winter. I'm already quite lean to start off with but I became leaner still. Most people think that I exercise a lot ...... My trip to Europe has kind of made me go back to carbs recently. I didn't have much appetite during my first week there. During my second week, I was feeling hungry constantly, had bigger portions (can't resist authentic Italian food) and I caved in to having hot chocolate and chocolate ice-cream daily. Since we don't celebrate Christmas big time here, I might as well try it out for my sanity sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna65 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Right, I saw your mention in the other review. But as I say, Dr. Stone can't specifically state the formula for Focus Potion publically so I'm not sure if Mara knows, but it's possible she can inquire at least in regards to that ingredient.
