BeeWitched (A Dirty sexy honeyed rose) *pheromone infused Magickal Meaning of Notes: Rose- Self confidence, strong aphrodisiac properties, attracts affection & love, fertility, divination/clairvoyance. Amber- Fertility, creativity, love, luck, riches. Honey & Bee Pollen- Enticing, seductive; use to bewitch a straying or hesitant lover. Happiness, fulfilment. Sugar- Attracts love, luck, sweetness and riches. Lust inducing, wishes granted. Musk- Self-confidence and strength, sexual attachment, heightens passions and arousal This scent potion starts out so innocent and soft with a lovely fruit-laced crystallized rose that stays close to the skin then it transforms with the rising heat of your body in an hours time to an empowering (and hungry) siren-like entity (complete with a mysterious aquatic element) that lays claim to all who catch a single wisp. This fragrant beacon of beauty is NOT safe for the mundane work setting despite what you think you discern in the vial, it calls for a night of romance, passion and something put in the lines of Pre-Raphaelite poetry and canvas! BeeWitched is the perfect name for this perfume! *Full disclosure this fragrance was a custom request that I was planning to wear to the Ren Festival (the listed notes harken back to researched love philtres used in that era) last October but sadly it wasn't ready in time so I didn't get to test it out on a larger audience but I did wear it to work (accidentally once... okay three times, haha) and notice a buzz of attention and looks every time, haha. It has the effect I was definitely looking for and highly recommend for a confidence boost. Creme Cake (Sweet cream-filled oatmeal cookies) *NOTE infused with pheromones Magickal Meaning of Notes: Oats- Prosperity, abundance, sustenance, money spells. Milk/Butter/Cream- Nurturing, soothing, eases troubled relationships. Goddess energy. Coconut Cream- Chastity, protection, purification, receptivity. Sugar- Attracts love, luck, sweetness and riches. Lust inducing, wishes granted. Cinnamon and Cassia Bark- Male sexual stimulation, passion, lust, healing, protection, energy, creativity, psychic powers. Used in ancient mummification rituals. Amber- Fertility, creativity, love, luck, riches. *plays record of "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes* A comforting warm hug of nostalgia wrapped in fluffy sweet cream and finished with vintage powdery amber. The opening of an iconic soft cookie recipe of a Little Debbie's dessert is captured perfectly with the notes of brown sugar, oats and a swirl of cinnamon, tempting those gathered around with a slight amplified effect and throw. Several minutes later the signature cream with a kiss of toasted coconut we remember waiting in our lunch boxes, reveals another delicious facet on the skin and in my curls before finally turning over to gentle amber that sees me out the door after 12 hours. Creme Cake has all the right playful ingredients equaling a perfect perfume to create smiles and treasured future memories. Infusion 2021 (A redder-than-red blend of black raspberry, creme de cassis, cherrywood and pomegranate, with a base of vanilla and three varieties of musk, including smokey Indian red musk attar) *NOT infused with pheromones Magickal Meaning of Notes: Raspberry- Love inducing, aids in pregnancy discomforts, protection. Stamina, vigor. Black Currant- Aids success in love affairs, and a magical representation of blood. Cherry Wood- Love and lust spells, divination, connection to the land of the departed. Pomegranate- Divination, luck, wishes granted, wealth, fertility. Musk- Self confidence and strength, sexual attraction, heightens passions and arousal. Vanilla- Aphrodisiac, inspires happiness, playfulness, sexual arousal, lust, vitalizing. Another morpher and clever deceiver. When first applied "candy vampire" springs to mind with the sweetened raspberry and tart pomegranate then as your body heat rises and entangles with Infusion, something unexplained happens and it completely transforms to something dark and wonderfully mysterious. A must try if you love the power of red musks. Love Potion® Magickal Perfumerie *Reviews composed in 2021 Technically not my first romp with the ever mysterious pheromone-enhanced category of perfumes (that title goes to Alkemia Perfumes), these three vials, however, were my first venture with a little house of fragrance called Love Potion Magicakal Perfumerie. A bit of rarity in the indie realm as this shop actually has a physical storefront (located in Venice, California USA) and is the only indie company I have found that sells exclusively pheromone laced perfumes. So what brought me to these unique doors of Love Potion? Curiosity mostly! For years I have heard Pheromones were the Dark Side of perfumery and with a friend's upcoming birthday and her very specific request for "a sexy red currant perfume" well it seemed fate and I just had to try them. Here's what I thought. WARNING: Subjects that follow may get a bit (politely told) spicy. My initial order all stemmed from a search for red currants and I messaged the owner to see if she could recommend a few blends and answer some burning questions I had concerning pheromone perfumes and their effect(s). The owner was an absolute sweetheart and patiently answered all my inquiries and gave me a list for my friend and for myself. I purchased one spray vial and to my utter delight was gifted several samples that we spoke of. I only had the opportunity to quickly sniff my friend's birthday gift before wrapping it up along with her preselected sample and I kept the other three vials as my friend doesn't care for the notes that I do. Funny enough she ended up loving the sample she received versus only liking what I purchased for her so I'll mention her choice pick and her experience wearing her special scent potion. Crystal Currents (Much as the way a crystal refracts and reflects and refracts sunshine into dazzling points of illumination, so does our beautiful pheromone-enhanced perfume spray bestow a brilliant shine to your senses. Crystalline notes of white, pink and red grapefruit oils blended with juicy tangy red currant and sweetened with pretty pink sugar and soft-as-a-cloud marshmallow plus a sheer whisper of white amber, so wonderfully upbeat! For further fun and frolic, we've enhanced this lovely with our exclusive AUDACIOUS pheromone formula, an Alpha-Sexual-Social mix for women that encourages boldness and perhaps a walk on the wild side! Promotes confidence, friendliness, femininity, mood elevation and sexuality. Magickal Meanings of Ingredients (I thought this part was so nifty!): Grapefruit- Refreshes and uplifts the spirit, eases exhaustion; beauty and youth glamour. Lends an aura of "sparkle" to the wearer. Red Currant- Aids success in love affairs, and a magical representation of blood. Marshmallow Root- Fertility, happiness, creativity, increase in psychic awareness, intuition, love, protection, exorcism. Gently commanding and persuading. Sugar- Attracts love, luck, sweetness and riches. Lust inducing, wishes granted. Amber-Fertility, creativity, love, luck and riches. On my friend, she seems to amplify the sweet factors of this blend and smells like naughty fruit candy, she usually stays away from scents resembling candy but says she was pleasantly surprised and Crystal Currents certainly suits her. The red currant serves as the glowing heart of this perfume over the sugared grapefruit opening and an unexpected amber laced marshmallow is the perfect finale. Between two separate serious male companions (at different points of the year) and other acquaintances, it has been noticed that men adore this perfume and have complimented her multiple times even associating this perfume to her specifically (for extra experiments a few extra drops of Crystal Currents were dabbed in her (at separate times of the year/ different boyfriend's) cars and then placed in her hair. The results were quite positive as both men seemed more attentive and etc; we are just reporting what was observed and noticed). My friend discreetly has requested the Copulin version of Crystal Currants for her next birthday so I call this scent experiment request/gift a success. Sadly my report will be less interesting as I don't currently have a fella to play scent doctor with so my thoughts will be more on general compliments, skin chemistry morphing, and my impressions on specific notes. I'm also going to rank the samples I tried. #3- Mommy's Little Monster (At this time of the year things can get quite chaotic for all hard-working Mummies and we know they could use some assistance in taming their dear darling monsters! This is a seasonal perfume spray featuring an Autumnal blend of warm hay, tangy crisp pear- bestowing protection and good fortune- with a sturdy foundation of bamboo and teak and pretty crown of daisy and heather. We're riding to the rescue with a dose of our exclusive MOTHER'S LITTLE HELPER pheromone formula, a blend for women to help create a household of peace and calm, pleasant interactions, warmth, coziness, friendliness and helpfulness...while secretly exerting a little authority too. Magickal Meanings of Ingredients: Pear- Love, longevity and luck Hay- Friendliness, fruitfulness Daisy- Gentleness, innocence, loyalty and romance. Love, reunion and luck. Heather- Admiration and beauty; protection, especially over women and virtue. Peace, beginnings, elemental magic, wishes granted. Bamboo- Protection, hex breaking, luck and wishes, fertility, wisdom, feminine energy. Teakwood- Longevity, bonding, weathering all conditions, endurance. It remains a frustrating mystery what note exactly drowns out all the others on my skin and pokes at my senses, reminding me of a combination of green medicine and soap but my hunch is the heather as I only have one heather listed perfume (from Jorum Studio) that smells like true ground heather on me and all the others I have tried across the indie realm turn into laundry detergent soap when applied. Such a shame for my skin but an unexpected win for my deep conditioning hair treatment regiment as in my hair the promised pear and hay reign making Mommy's Little Monster a nice autumnal hair treat. #2- Flying Potion 2020 (Description summary- We've blended gorgeous creamy ylang ylang EO, sweet black licorice, marshmallow and vanilla pods, tangy grapefruit and cassis topped with a pinch of cider spices and Poof!) Magickal Meanings of Ingredients: Marshmallow Root- Fertility, happiness, creativity, increase in psychic awareness, intuition, love, protection, exorcism, Gently commanding and persuading. Ylang Ylang- Strongly sensual, attraction, attention, irresistibility, soothes marital problems. Licorice- Love, lust, fidelity, sexual potency. Vanilla- Aphrodisiac, inspires happiness, playfulness, sexual arousal, lust, vitalizing. Grapefruit- Refreshes and uplifts the spirit, eases exhaustion, beauty and youth glamour. It is highly advised to NOT go by what you think you discern from this shop's vials because your heated skin and hair hold and unlocks the true magic of these blends. Honestly, I was puzzled and thought I was possibly sent a mislabeled batch when I first opened my lovely presented parcel as the distinct slight chemical aroma I recognize from my bottle of C24 from Alkemia Perfumes wafted up and I couldn't identify clearly any accompanying notes. What a curious thing! Once applied my impression immediately changed and I raced to the laptop to toss in my basket many perfumes from the catalogue (especially when I tried Love Potion: Pink, but I'm jumping ahead of myself). Flying Potion opens bright and creamy then morphs to seductive liquorice dipped warm spices (perhaps even hidden apple?) and then dries down to this stunning realistic marshmallow vanilla cream and lingering traces of liquorice. I am weak in the presence of a good liquorice or marshmallow perfume and Flying Potion is ace and has been keeping me company on late night walks as the summer season winds down and this hits the spot for the beginning of my favourite time of the year. Now to find someone to share it with, haha. #1- Love Potion- Pink (Description summary- Combines four buttery Vanilla oils from around the globe, added to gorgeously thick Amber and Patchouli, resins, sweet Berries and Sugars galore!) Magickal Meanings of Ingredients: Vanilla- Aphrodisiac, inspires happiness, playfulness, sexual arousal, lust, vitalizing. Sugar- Attracts love, luck, sweetness, riches, lust inducing. Berries- Attraction, love inducing, stamina, vigor, draws fortunate circumstances in all areas of your life. Apricot- Love, love, love, romance, passion and feminity Amber- Fertility, love, luck, riches. Patchouli- Soothes and uplifts, sensual, sexually stimulating, lust, fertility, money. Butter- Nurturing, soothing, eases troubled relationships, Goddess energy Verbena- Mood uplifting, makes one attractive to the opposite sex, everlasting love. As much as I go weak for liquorice and marshmallow, would you believe a cotton candy/fairy floss perfume completely swept me off my feet and garnered the most compliments from work colleagues and strangers? It's all true, I smell like a pastel and peach toned Valentine with Marilyn Monroe's image glamming on the front. The notes may seem simple but that's where the true beauty of this oil lies, it catches you off guard first pulling at playful and airy elements but then transforms into this warm sophisticated buttery romantic vanilla that others around just gravitate toward and ask about. It's perfectly dubbed, it captures all the qualities when you think of the ideal shade of Pink. Projection and longevity is impressive with this fragrance as it goes on to enchant 16 hours versus Mommy's Little Monster's 6 hours and Flying Potion landing in the middle at 10 hours. The search is over, I finally found a cotton candy/fairy floss perfume I can wear without feeling like a child or it triggering bad high school memories. So the big questions would I order from Love Potion Magickal Perfumerie again and are Pheromones truly the dark side of perfumery and should be feared? A resounding yes to if I will order again and let's just say be prepared for more reviews in the coming months and I only care what I think and how they make me feel which is spectacular and confident.
