Alcohol-Based Products are Ready for Beta Testing!!!!

[Ivy715]

Hey Tee...why would placing an order for alcohols make your other orders come later?

 

Because it takes 3 weeks to make so that woud put everything else Iam waiting for on hold if it hasn't shipped yet

So they can put it in your already placed orders.It makes it better for the ladies cause I had placed a few small orders here n there.that would be like 3 different order instead of one.I hope that makes scents to ya

[Ivy715]

Everything ordered before last Friday is out, or going out tomorrow. Even if there are multiple orders about. Everything from Friday on has yet to be processed. We don't automatically hold stuff...we just group things when there are multiple orders from the same person stacked up.

 

This last batch - no Stamps.com. It went out the old fashioned way and I will be emailing your delivery confirm #s tomorrow. Sorry for the waits!

 

PM,

Thanks,You have now talked me into an order

Tee

[Rosebud]

I got Ail's Open Windows 2x, and 1x versions of Sexology, BI & 2x of OCCO White All in 60:40 of course, should be great for winter here!

 

I can't wait to try them! Once I get my hands on a bit more cashola I want to try Cougar too

[cheeseburger79]

Off topic, but Mara, you seem to keep checking this forum--

No Danna hasn't answered them Heres whats happening-

 

I email you gals-and I get a response-but the response is the email I sent you, not a reply from you. Its Dang strange!! I dont think its from my end because I've been getting replies from Fawn and others just fine...

I will just give you a call this afternoon-make it easy!

 

PS- your sprays will be the death of me....Love you!!!

[katz]

I would think you could do it.....you would probably just need to shake it before application.....

 

 

I am thinking of getting some of the plain alcohol, and using some of my pre-phero-boosted bottles to mix my own, because I am SO INDECISIVE right now!

 

Say we had something like Sorcerer or whatever pre-made phero blend - do you think adding the alcohol base will dilute it *too* much?

Thanks Dolly. It didn't occur to me to shake them. I have so many pheros in CPS that would be great to diffuse.

 

I wonder if the ratio would change though since it's 1/3 oz. in the roller bottle going into an ounce bottle. I think Mara said it's the same. The only difference is the cost of the bottle. (I see katz was wondering the same thing.) I just don't want to mix it and have it be ineffective. And I think if we can mix our own perfumes then we can probably mix our own boosted blends since the only difference is the delivery method which seems like the diffusion factor would make it less potent. I think I'm confusing myself.

 

I understand the indecisiveness. I kept changing my mind on what to get other than OW and Cougar. Then I went with H&S and Ail's CB because I thought they would be really good for diffusion. Next round I'm going for TH and DYG I think. Honestly, I feel like a kid in a candy shop.

If you pour a whole bottle of one of your own blends into one of Mara's plain alcohol loaded bottles, I don't think that it would change the ratio of the pheros. If I am not mistaken, Mara said that the amount of pheros that will be at the 1X strength in a 1 oz bottle of alcohol is the same amount of pheros that would be in a 1/3 oz roller-top bottle (either unscented or boosted). The amount is the same because in the spray, you don't need as much of a phero ratio because of the quicker diffusion.

 

When you pour one of your already boosted bottles or an unscented phero blend into the alcohol, you will still have the exact same amount of pheros that Mara would put in one ounce of the dilutant. Yes, it would change the composition of the dilutant, but I would think that it would probably give a similar effect as the sprays that Mara is providing with part DPG....will slow the diffusion just a tad, but will still be faster diffusion than a boosted oil.

OH MY GOD SO EXCITED

 

*wiggles*

 

Now I just need to get monies!

[katz]

Cool...makes sense. Thanks Dolly!

[gaia]

I ordered 2x Stone Cougar in the 60/40 blend with 5ml's of Honeyed Sandalwood & Vanilla added (I *love* that scent.....I checked first if there were still bottles available through the cart though.....but I put LP Black as an alternative just in case)

 

I can hardly wait for this.......

[Beccah]

Say we had something like Sorcerer or whatever pre-made phero blend - do you think adding the alcohol base will dilute it *too* much?

 

 

Actually, I had the same thought on that! I was considering using 5mls. of the prephero'd blend & 5 mls. of the DPG full strength unscented phero blend. I think that would be a good mix.-Be blessed,Beccah- Editing to add: This is what I'm doing w/ the last of my Popularity & the last half of the bottle & a half I have left of Wildflower. Halloween will be fun. I iz hoping to meet new friends!!!!

I ended up getting OW 2x That is one of my favorites and 2 ready to alcohol bottles.Can't wait to hear reviews

[starlitegirl]

Thanks Dolly for taking the time to answer my confusion.

 

*Must get several plain alcohol loaded bottles*

[Imperianna]

OMG! Can a man actually survive that? I have visions of men confronted with this dose ending up in the ER and claiming it was Viagra.

 

 

Heeheehee! airborne Viagra! eeeeeexcellent!!

[Dolly]

Thanks Dolly for taking the time to answer my confusion.

 

You're very welcome! Glad I could help!!

 

 

*Must get several plain alcohol loaded bottles*

 

That's exactly what I did! Partly because I am indecisive, and partly because I want to use some of my boosted, sold-out scents in spray format.....

[Potion Master]

Now, do you think that the "Lightly Scented" phero with B.I. in it would probably be smelly?

 

I wonder what a full perfume with 2x B.I. would do? heehee

 

I made one for myself.

 

Actually - the perfume part at least will be offered as a PE for the next release set. I made a variation on Sogni Incantati for myself called Domino, a little heavier on the anise than in the original, and a little more bottom end with some sweet sandalwood and resins, with the mellow marshmallow in the middle, which is a pretty modest, close-to-the-skin kind of scent, (ref: EGG and Sogni Incantati).

 

Anyway, the perfume is on the light side, and I added 2x BI, 1/3 oz perfume, and the rest alcohol. I can smell the BI in the bottle, and I can still smell the cops a little bit after dry down. It doesn't strike ME as offensive, but I haven't worn it outside yet. heh. It's really funny, because the alcohol spray mist makes the cops so diffuse, that the tiny tiny droplets, I think, stick to the fine little hairs on your skin. That's what I think I am smelling - the cops, after drydown, dusted on my arm hairs and still retaining a little of that "new" cops smell - but actually I like it. It smells pretty darn sexy. I am going to try it out on the KSBF.

[luna65]

Be gentle with him, M.

[Geena]

Mara, Is this the Lightly Scented that you made with Domino/B.I.? If I choose regular perfume and have it boosted with 2X B.I. do you think it will still smell "coppy" or will it be similar to the perfumes that I get boosted with B.I. now?

Oh Mara.....I love Sogni Incantati... :2785: I can't wait to try Domino... I must try egg now also....

[Karmiel]

I can't believe we finally have sprays for the cold months!! I'm so excited to try these out.

[starlitegirl]

If a scent doesn't work with our chemistry, would putting it in spray form resolve that?

[luna65]

Possibly. As some have noted it seems to work to perhaps amplify one aspect above another. Alcohol is a fixative, so the original scent will not evolve with exposure to the air and your skin as it would in oil form.

Mara, I hope you're making a BIG batch of this!! It sounds wonderful!! Sign me up!!

[Beccah]

I've experimented a little w/ vodka spray. Most recent experience Honey Ho. Lurved in sample vial. Turned to soap on my skin. So I said what have I got to lose & turned it into a spray. It retains its honey goodness & bonus the pear is brought more to the forefront.

I think the alcohol itself - along with the spray mechanism, making the drops so micro fine, will make anything with cops smell a lil more "coppy". It gets in the air, your hairs, your clothes - all of that will preserve the cops smell a little longer.

 

It always settles down on your skin after awhile. No matter the strength of the cops, after about 20 mins of melding with your skin chemistry, the smell pretty much goes away. But it's the stuff that gets on hair and fabric that I think is the issue with the spray.

 

Dolly? What do you think?

[Potion Master]

Be gentle with him, M.

Now where's the fun in that? Ha!

 

Yes, Ladies I made almost 8 oz of the "Domino" blend (thus named for the black and white contrasts of ingredients), so 20 or so bottles to share.

 

As far as alcohol dilution changing the quality of the perfume, yeah, that's why I finally settled on the 1/3rd ratio. I noticed that using less than that - 5mls for instance, will make entirely different parts of the perfume come to the fore or settle in back. It was a bit surprising. I experimented most using RED, since I have over 20 years with the character of that one, and was surprised that at certain ratios it really didn't smell like the same perfume...didn't smell like "mine". So getting it up to that 1/3rd to 2/3rds level really makes the perfume sprays smell much closer to the perfume oils.

 

Will it effect how it responds to your skin chemistry?

It really shouldn't, because we are still not using any chemical stabilizers. So if you have an issue with something "turning" on your skin - it probably still will. But with the spray you have the option of spraying it on your clothes instead, and thus avoiding the interaction with your chemistry for the most part. At a 1/3rd ratio of oil to alcohol, and a micro fine mist, I think fabric staining should not be a worry, but one should always test.

Dolly? What do you think?

 

 

Yes, with cops in an alcohol-based spray, you will pretty much have that copulin scent sticking around, if it is sprayed anywhere other than on the skin. Which, as you pointed out, can be hard to control with such micro-fine drops. Sprayed just on skin, it will settle down....eventually.

 

Also, you will note that if you go with a heavy copulin laced spray and get a lot in the air, you can return to the room where you applied it, and you will find that the alcohol has almost burned off, leaving the stink of cops lingering.....I learned this the hard way.....

I got Straight EOW on my pillow and shirt one day and I could smell it all day. It was so strange. And then another time I got it on my shirt and I had a woman tell me she LOVED my perfume and then I had a MAN tell me (while I was checking out in the supermarket - he was the cashier and a rather odd one at that) that something stunk. I blamed it on the feta cheese because that's kind of what EOW smells like to me. Of course I laughed hysterically when I got in my car. And nope I wasn't wearing WF.

 

I don't think I have the courage to wear any cop based formula in spray form. If it's something like cougar, I can deal with that. But not straight cops, except maybe OCCO red because I think that might be the one scent that could give the cops a run for the money.

 

Mara, I have a question about a phero add on the new page. It's this one:

 

BETA TEST: Add Pheromones to your Perfume Spray

 

BETA TEST: Would you like to add pheromones to your Beta Perfume Spray? Please choose from the drop down menus at right.

 

It's only $20 but then you put in a scent only I'm confused about the cost. Is this a perfume spray that you've already put in your cart?

Edited October 7, 2009 by starlitegirl

[cheeseburger79]

Perhaps I should be putting this in the straight phero forum, but since this forum is so active, and I'm considering it as a spray, I want to ask you gals a little about Cougar in general.

 

Ok I see its VERY popular, and I get that if your a tad older goin for younger fellas-but CC loves it and shes in her 20's and I saw in some thread she tends to go for older guys...I'm 30 and my man is too.

What is it about Cougar that has y'all so bonkers? Does it just work like, amazingly well?

If so, I want some in a spray fo' sho! I dont have it yet.

 

Talk to me ladies!! Love and Thanks-Lori :onigiri_fruit:

It can, in the right circumstances, make you sparkly and vivacious and attractive to everyone.

for me it's what Luna said - everytime I wear it - made more so by better diffusion - big results in silicon HUGE in alcohol

[circusrose]

Can we use the OCCO fragrances ,without the cops, for the perfume sprays or to scent the pheros

[FAWN]

big results in silicon HUGE in alcohol

 

I can't wait....cougar 2x in spray....

It's only $20 for the phero-add, ALONG WITH the Beta Perfume Spray you have to purchase as well.

Hmmm, maybe I should try to reprogram that. It seemed too many things at once, but will go in again and look when I can.

Thanks for pointing out the confusing issue.

[Potion Master]

Question-do we shake to mix w/ the sprays?

 

If you're mixing alcohol with a silicone-based product, you may have to shake it every time before you use it.

 

Alcohol and oil will blend permanently. Shake it good and thoroughly once, and you should be good for the duration.

[luna65]

What 'circumstances are those though, pray tell...

 

Like with anything, you have to be ready to support the effect: if you're in the mood to be Miss Fabulous, SC will help you with that. It will assist you in rocking the house. But even if you're acting nonchalant, people may still be drawn to you, and so you can respond to that accordingly.
