NuTrix Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 It's sexy librarian in the rain with no clothes under her trench coat! Yes, but does she smell good? Hahaha! I take it the description means you like it - a lot Or have librarian, trench coat fantasies - or BOTH! One of the best lines I ever heard in a movie as a compliment to the power behind what the beauty of women could have - chauvinistic though it may have been - was: Director to producer about actresses in question: "Can they act?" Producer retorts to director: "Act?! What act?! Did anyone care if Marilyn Monroe could act?! All they cared was - is she in focus!" Now I'm wondering - if the scent evokes the sexy librarian in the trench coat...should I really care what it smells like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoremyWhether Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'm glad it's not just me. I made it through the sales and the NRs and told myself I was DONE. I told Mara I was DONE. My boxes are scheduled to be redelivered tomorrow so I don't even have them. And yet.... I feel like I have forgotten something, like something is missing. Could be my mind. I don't know...

StoremyWhether Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 It's funny, I actually tested SC against Shadow Dance and ended up liking Shadow Dance better!! But that could be the missing piece.

StacyK Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) You've got to have it all. Different moods. I finally got SC and added cops it's great but not an everyday lol ETA After we had discussed it on one thread Dolly had later posted a review of SC and suggested cops. That was it for me!!

I'm telling myself that since I didn't get the July samples until I received my sale order, that that is why I need to order the ones I really like in FB...and of course to make the shipping worth while for Mara, I should get more than a couple of bottles...and then I can't NOT take advantage of the sale since it's still going on...

MissHazel Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 ^ lol, and I thought I was being sneaky. That's totally my game plan too. Finally got myself locked in on my freebies. A little nervous about a couple of the bottles, but I'm hoping Snowmusk is like Xehua Xing, and that the "green" scents I picked aren't toooooo green. And I'm nervous about Verhext because there's very little info on it, but the notes sound pretty awesome if they play nicely with me. I picked two which I've wanted for awhile based on samples: Nookie Cookie, and Upstairs Downstairs, and one based on wanting it because of the ambergris which my body lurvs in other perfumes (Rapturous Reverie.) Then a bunch of male phero'd scents which I know I'm going to wear, but it'd be great if I got my boyfriend to wear some of them (sudden impact, goal, lucero, thrill of the chase.)

StacyK Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) I love the smell of Lucero on men!! Goal is nice too. A real boy smell. Edited August 30, 2013 by StacyK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissHazel Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 well, they're most likely going to be on me-- however I love wearing colognes. I'll be interested to see if there's any strange pheromone hits wearing male phero's. But this way, I can occasionally tackle my boyfriend with it, and worst case scenario, if I don't like them, they get gifted to boyfriend's best friend who's slowly coming around to the the LPs.

StacyK Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) I could see wearing goal, I think I have, had a sniffie. I should try Lucero I think LV does that too. What about the 'mones? I just had a couple of dabs so.. Have you done reviews for the men mones in relation to you wearing them? Edited August 30, 2013 by StacyK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissHazel Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 boyfriend didn't really use his samples so I did, but I mainly wore them when I was in for the night. otherwise, I remember wearing Shade and Thunder out but noticed nothing except the normal pick me up from Thunder. I think I have some hunter trapper UN around somewhere. I'm going to try that and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing wrong with loud. Now if you sound like a loud Fran Drescher, maybe you could have some issues. Could be worse: I had a couple of friends at work tell me that I sound like a phone sex operator on my voicemail. I thought I was being a professional but not THAT kind of one.

I'll say this, it goes on light so I'm inclined to want to apply more.. don't do it. This is one that, at least on me, blooms big time with my chem and the right amount smells fab. Just imagine a small flower bud and as it wears and blends the bud opens and releases its fragrance and tells a beautiful story.

greenergal Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I've been so excited about the spell potions which are my faves, more than any pheros even. I had to wait until this weekend for funds to buy a fb of 10 set, but now almost all of my choices are sold out. I may just get a sample or two of the spell potions instead, along w/ OCCO Blue and Bosom Bows. Normally I'd be majorly bummed or psychotic about this, but I am ok. I'm surprising myself with this calm attitude. Happy for everyone else that has their goodies on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissHazel Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 if you know you're going to buy something, Mara's been really great about holding stuff if you start paying or can pay soon. I doubt she'd want this as a habit, but there was no way I was going to be able to buy the full august/sept set (or what it ended up being with me foregoing some and doubling down on others) all at once otherwise. Just put a good-sized downpayment on it last week and plan on another one this week. I'd love to have some extra money come my way so I could add on Steamy Daydreams and Cuddle Bunny UN, but that's likely going to have to wait a few months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VexedGlory Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Ooh, that's good to know. Had I known, I would've done that with these spell potions (but you're right, I doubt she'd want this as a habit or to have a bunch of people doing it too). But I'm still happy with my samples and my Whisker Wishes coming my way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoremyWhether Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 VexedGlory, I would say that if you haven't been able to find an answer to a question on here, Mara and Co. have been the absolute BEST at responding to questions. Like MissHazel said, you can always ask her and see if there's a solution - especially during times like now where the most awesome sale encountered runs at the same time as NRs that many have waited for. I've never encountered a business before where the owner is so bombarded with business and yet makes time to help her customers. The perfumes are brilliant but knowing that you're buying from someone who cares about her customers - that's not something easily found anymore. Mostly though, I tend to find that you will find your answer here in the forum from others who are in the know or have an experience they can share as an idea, like MissHazel. Just ask and I'm sure that someone will come along to offer some ideas!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I've bought a lot, and more that prior years sales, but saved for this for long time, plus saved some of last year's xmas, and all of my birthday and Mother's Day gifts I received from SO and family were saved for this. I am one of those planners. The sale can't be beat for stocking up on basics I know I go through! Plus this year I am getting gifts to hold for bdays and Xmas for some family, my secretary, and a few girlfriends-- have to convert others to the addiction! This is the first time I intentionally have purchased some for others and that has been a ton of fun trying to match up different personalities and what I thought they might like. I convince myself if I save for it and then buy things in part also for others also, then it is a justifiable addiction! I am almost done, got to finalize a few PE's and things I realized I am now running low on though after giving some of my UNs and some partial fragrance bottles I just gave to a girlfriend going through a bad time with divorce/now trying dating.

Some of what I have matched up: -For 2 friends that are engaged: bethrothal potion, OCCO white, OCCO blue, LP original, Love Immortal spell potion, and Promise (w/PM). -For a friend that is a pink sugar addict: LP pink, OCCO pink, midnight masquerade, BFF. -For a BFF friend that just had a nasty divorce and is looking for love: LP original, LP red, cuddle bunny, OW, Patience potion, BlackCat Hex breaker, Amber Amour, Love Drawing.
