mcreepers Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (Succumbing to the inevitable) Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy-was he? Now that I've gotten that stuck in your heads, hopefully it will get out of mine. I tested this out yesterday and it started off sweaty smelling; however, everything I tested yesterday smelled a bit odd at first, then hours later settled into huffable fragrances. I am going to grab a shower and, inspired by Mara's fabulous review, test this out at work today. I'll update when I return home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiana Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I kind of wanted to roll in this, it's so delicious. I actually don't get a very strong lavender note out of this one, softer than Lady V's Midnight Snack, but more of the bakery/frosting/vanilla notes with a gentle hint of lavender. The black amber isn't a strong note here, but it make it that much more than *just* foody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinnamonmel Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Loving that story! I cannot wait to get mine and test out on date guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcreepers Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) Ok, I'm home now. I think I should refrain from making any purchasing decisions regarding full bottles until I can test this at a *better* time of month, but as of right now I can say I like Fuzzy Wuzzy, but don't love it. I had a couple of hours of delicious scent, but the aftermath seemed kind of dusty and vague to me. I don't know; a few weeks from now I may be chasing a bottle wherever I can catch it, but as of right now I prefer the drydowns of Purple Puff and Angela's Purple Pastry. I am fairly certain I love the Gotcha! Phero though. I was more outgoing, talkative, and upbeat at work than I typically am, and even though I wasn't very busy it was kind of like the confidence high you feel when you've truly hit your stride. I think I need more of that feeling in my life, because no matter how well I am doing I often feel an undercurrent of self doubt, kind of like an itch. I will definitely be purchasing a trial size vial of the phero so I can test the effects further. ETA- because the Kindle Fire keeps cutting me off and auto correcting with make believe words. :/ Edited November 21, 2012 by mcreepers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElizabethOSP Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 .....................................Anyway, it was really funny. That has never happened to me before. Not sure if it was really just my "parlor trick" that had them so fascinated, but I think the Gotcha pulled them in further and created a really pleasant camaraderie vibe between everyone. Well, I'll bet the Gotcha helped pull 'em in, but that HAD to be so wonderful for the ladies to talk to you about all that stuff!!! Put it all together, and you were a Happy Break that they probably all needed very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyvey Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) I wore this to dr appt with adooooorrrrraaabbbbllle doctor i looooooooooovvvvvvvvve - have I mentioned I love adorable doctor who is adorable? His behavior (body language) was bashful but he was rather more talkative than usual. I also talked my face right off. scent: definitely reminds of purple puff but much less in-your-face happy lavendery and more fresh laundry-y. Also has glimpses of New.

Mrschrissyrez Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I was thinking about layering this with Body Paint...what do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 They would be compatible, IMO. The character of the lavender is the same as Body Paint, as Mara noted (I recognize it). I like the sugary vibe in the bottom of this, it smooths out the lavender right away and makes it yummy. I definitely get a dessert evocation from it, if not specifically a cupcake one. As such I think it's a great delivery system for the phero. It's very fluffy and soft on me after drydown, a bit like Baskery in that it wears close and maintains a consistently sweet aura.

LadyVictoria Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Great story Mara!! I have to confess I love going into Macy's and asking the sales girls what notes are in what and they never know. Ever since LP I can tell what some notes are.. and the other day at Macy's I was smelling Candy Prada and I immediately smelled benzoin and musk! and I said oooh I love it, and then said benzoin!

snowflake Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Wow, sweet vanilla lavender, this smells so good. It's sweeter than Purple Puff, reminds me a little bit of New. Yet I have to test the phero effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrschrissyrez Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I'm truly loving this one too, but it disappears on me fairly quick. Now, here's the weird part. Gotcha makes me happy, but I *think* it makes me also get angry really fast. I know I need to keep testing this because the other day I was just happy wearing it. It's like I'm so happy, but if you do something to make me mad (like my son killing a squirel because he has to hunt everything), I went berserk on his ass. Almost like when I was pregnant. I was happy, but I could do a 180 in 2 seconds flat. Weird right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportyCurve5 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Thats so funny!!! It's not like its not the holiday season and the counter girls should be working! lol. This is light, soft, and sweet. It does disappear on me fast though. I may try out my sample tomorrow since my BFF wants to do the absolute worst thing in life (IMO)...which is go Black Friday shopping! I hate crowds, so maybe I should wear this for myself! lol. Perfume Macys Zombie girl just looked at me and held out her wrist for me to spray. I was like WTF I DONT WORK HERE YOU DO SPRAY ME! I can see a ditsy girl doing that!!

Raq On Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) I smelled this in the trial vial and all I could smell were the lavender and amber so I was bummed. I like lavender, it just doesn't like me, but I was going to be home all day today housecleaning so I figured I try it. At first it did give off that really strong, sort of dept. store perfume smell, but after an hour it has totally calmed down and is actually quite nice. I actually get the cake and caramel smell first and maybe a hint of amber, but it's totally tempered by that lavender. I love cakey and buttercream scents but the vanilla can tend to go plasticky on me. I think the lavender prevents that here without being too loud. I think Mara was genius in adding the strong, sticky foody notes to the lavender b/c it's not too sweet at all. Whereas something like a Rosie's Wedding cake, or Comp. positions or even Darling Clementine are all very frosting/cake type with the brown sugar or vanilla notes, this is more balanced on my skin. I'm so glad the lavender behaved. This may be a lavender I can actually wear even though I can't really smell the lavender after drydown. I'll apply more next time and see if I can still wear it. ETA: Is this phero designed to make the wearer feel sort of cozy? I don't know if it's b/c of the pouring down rain and the day after TG but I feel very content and cozy right now...Do you think that's from the phero? GOTCH BLEND: Contains the following pheromones: Beta-AndrostAnol, Estratetraenol, Alpha-Androstenol, Beta-Androstenol, DHEAS, Alpha-THDOC, Allo-pregnanolone, Copulins.

Just Ducky Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I think Candy Prada is going to be my next commercial 'fume purchase. I love it! I luvvvv Prada Candy. I layer it with Caramel Musk or TMI and it becomes total awesomeness. Mara, YOU are total awesomeness!! It is so frustrating to have a scent in mind, know what the notes are, then try to track something down that matches it -- and all the sales peeps want to do is blast you with the Latest and Greatest because it's all they know. Ask for a blend with, say, lotus, and all you get are blank looks. Retail perfume shopping SUCKS. Thank the various gods for LPMP. (Sorry for the t/j.

greenergal Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I luvvvv Prada Candy. I layer it with Caramel Musk or TMI and it becomes total awesomeness. Your mention of Caramel Musk got me thinking. I really like Fuzzy Wuzzy, but I wanted to looove it. I don't totally trust my nose right now as it's that TOTM. I get a bit of lavender and definitely the buttercream, but I wanted to get a musky scent in there too to flesh it out more. I layered FW with Caramel Musk and it is lovely on me. It made the brown sugar and vanilla come out more and mixed with the amber and light musk it is purrfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinnamonmel Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 After a few minutes the lavender backs up to let out a gentle brown sugary waft. If laundry detergent came in brown sugar scent, this would be it, it's kind of clean, but sugary. The brown sugar is blessedly not doing the Marmite trick on me. Date guy wasn't so keen but it may grow on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggers Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 This is a win for me, and I'm so relieved. I was worried about it "Purple Puffing" on my skin, but it doesn't. The lavender is soft and gentle, soothing, the way I think lavender is supposed to be, and it's settled into a pillow of brown sugar caramel, amber and cakey goodness. I tested last night for the scent, and will test later today, (at the movies! ), for phero effects. But so far, I love this, phero-funzies or no. I just really love this perfume. And that cat on the label is irresistibly gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuTrix Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Fuzzy Wuzzy was cuddlicious! HOLYCARAMELCREAMYCAKEYVANILLADELIGHT! Lavender? What lavender? LOL! Kidding, it was in there, but TRUST ME, you'll be completely distracted by fighting the urge NOT to devour whatever body part you've applied this to! You'll be wanting to apply this to friends and family, clothes, hair, add it to lotions...if you are a foodie, you will WANT this. It's soft and delicious, unassuming but noticeably present, a delectable delight! Caramel was the most prominent on me for the duration, even when it settled down into the creamy vanilla amber, the hint of caramel stayed. 2 thumbs up FO SHO!

dolphindolls2 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I wore this out late last night to hang with friends and this gave me that truly happy, uplifting phero effect everyone talks about.

Eggers Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Wore this last night to a very good response: BF got one whiff of it, grabbed me and began sniffing and kissing all over the place! His eyes actually rolled back in his head and he said, "Oh my *GOD*, you smell good EVERYWHERE!". And he wouldn't let me go. So yeah. This is a BIG win. In addition to that, (pretty much unprecedented reaction), he really was sort of snuggly last night. You know, snuggly for Mr. I-Don't-Like-to-Touch. He took me to see Twilight, which he *really* didn't want to see, and then when we got home we watched another movie, and he curled up with me, (which he doesn't often do anymore), and then when we went to bed, HE SPOONED ME. Also something he hasn't done in a long time - at least while conscious. (He's a "sleep-spooner", essentially treating me like a life-sized Teddy bear - but only once he's asleep). And when he got tired of lying on that side, he turned over and demanded I spoon him! So I think the Gotcha! phero is probably going to work pretty well for me. I hope, anyway. I'll have to try it again, though, since there are some phero blends he reacts to the first time, and then not very consistently after that. I wonder if that has to do with dosage? It's as if he likes getting hit with a new phero signature, but after he's been exposed, the "shine" kind of wears off. Of all the phero blends I've worn around him, the one that gets the most consistent reaction is Perfect Match, (and of course, Sexpionage), but I wouldn't mind at all if Gotcha! joined the ranks of The Consistent Ones. Imma have to start fooling with dosages of the blends I'm wearing, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missdarlyncherie Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 This is just delicious. I could wear it everyday. Light on the Lav, sweet vanilla caramel goodness. Ex-L walked in, threw his nose in the air and declared "Oh! you've been burning scented candles! How nice!" I state that no, it is probably my perfume. Confused look on his his face and he replies "no, it's kind of vanilla-y, and something else, it's scented candles." And THIS is one of the very glaring reasons we always end in shambles. Contrary to all other evidence...(It's my house, I've been here all morning and not lit a scented candle, Phinnius does not know how to light scented candles, I have no scented candles on the premises) because perfume and vanilla-ish does not make logical sense in his little round head. It just is not. Scented candles have somehow wafted their way into my home. Ok, whatever...I let it go so that we can get to why he's here: free music and sex 'n' snuggles. The thing about the phero is...it works just as well as all of these "cuddly type" pheros do on him. He is an est ho. But after I put it on and was waiting for him to arrive it made me very hot. I mean like my body temperature...became very hot. Very weird and very noticeable...did anyone have that happen? I also got a sample of the UN so I will see if that happens again. I also felt quite lightheaded but good! I will be experimenting more with this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alohahnl43 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I wore this on a blind date yesterday, but it didn't seem to raise my body temperature or make me light headed at all like Missdarlyncherie. I felt pretty happy & light. I was pleasantly surprised how good it settled on my skin. I think I smelled delicious. It had even better effects on my date. We spent quite a bit of time traveling in the car, sightseeing. So, my date got a good dose of this scent. He must've liked it, because he tried to give me a massage & kept finding reasons to touch me. He went in for a full-on kiss on the lips (no tongue) at the end of the date (kinda pushy though for a lunch date, I'm never sure how far to go on first dates anyways) & he wants to go out again. I'll give credit to the Fuzzy Wuzzy. The scent was soft, seductive & sweet at first. After a while it turned into a light powdery finish on me, which was pleasant & appropriate for the setting. It came off with a cozy, familiar vibe. I will wear this again on another first date, I really liked my date's response to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missdarlyncherie Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 LMAO!!! Are we to conclude that Phinnius can light UNscented candles? Because I have. Well Phinnius is very wise, so obviously if he was to flirt with the idea of secretly lighting candles they would be unscented. But Ex L is SO MUCH WISER THAN ANYONE ON EARTH let's give him the benefit of the doubt...I'm sure Phinnius accidentally got into the "vanilla-y and something else" scented ones that Adelaide apparently bought on a whim.
