Love Boat - A lady's perspective

[Isis]

I need to try focusing on using loveboat by itself to get a full feel of the phero. I keep adding things to it like cops, etc, it seems like a great booster but by itself...not so sure what it holds entirely.

What my first impressions of it so far in a relationship aspect is that it really stops things from escalating. Sometimes I start to get worked up over something and the BF gets exasperated but these seems to make him a little more empathetic to my throes of anger. So he explains and tries to smooth my feathers instead.

I can totally see this one becoming a staple for all these exact reasons!

[Isis]

Have this and babe coming. Can't wait to test it out!

I'm currently in Miami where it's 12,000 degrees, so I've been apprehensive about wearing anything too strong. But I decided to try a couple of sprays of Love Boat to the neck (yes, all by its lonesome). What a PERFECT choice for the heat! I have it scented with Jasmine Vanilla, which was quite pleasant. No bleeding whatsoever.

Loving, loving, LOVING the self effects! It's not too over the top. It's just a genuine good feeling. I had a couple of moments that could have been stressful but I managed to smile my way through them. I've been in conversation mode with strangers everywhere I go. I'm not normally the super funny girl when I go out, but with Love Boat I'm so much funnier. I thought it might have been because I combo'd it with Bliss before, but actually I'm finding that even without Bliss, Love Boat makes me happy chatty. I'm glad I decided to go solo with it these past couple of days!

Wore it to the DMV and noticed that the woman standing in front of me kept turning around and looking at me. For a while I kept wondering why she kept stealing glances, then I remembered Love Boat. Checked out a small market and got into a chat-fest with the woman who owned the store. By the end of the conversation, she gave me a great big hug. Thanks Love Boat!

And my dad... holy smokes... he's like putty in my hands since I've been wearing it. Not to say that he's a tyrant or anything, but he has DEFINITELY been more relaxed since I've been wearing Love Boat.

This is a NICE blend for daily wear, and with Jasmine Vanilla it's not too overpowering in the tropical heat.

This one is a fast favorite! Wore out again LUUURV how this one feels and plays with others.
Started with 96mcgs and had a great morning/afternoon with man beast.
Later in the evening went out with a friend and the man for dinner and drinks, so to prepare: from the full strength 10ml bottles, sprayed 2 LB to front of neck and 1 spray Vibe to back of neck and covered with spray fragrance to hide the mone smell.
OHMYGOODNESS! It was a long drive to where we went so by the time we got there everyone was in a happy, frisky mood
As always, severs were great, we did score some free glasses at one stop (they could be purchased but shhhhhh...)
I would say this is a fantastic social. It's not hyper, but it's fun. Definitely a mood booster for EVERYONE and people were just chatting us up where ever we went.
I'm really curious to see what dirction this one goes when I start adding some shmexy to it...the man responds well to LB so I'm curious how a smidge of DM oil or some DM+ with play out around him...but that's for another time....LB will def. be a repurchase though!

[Morgaine]

Sounds brilliant Nutrix! I'll file that away for future reference. That kind of mone experience appeals to me much more than the straight up cops-inspired testosterone-boosted caveman type reactions.

[NuTrix]

Took LB out again today. Started with 96mcg (3 sprays from my scented 5ml bottle). and then re-applied 64mcg (2 sprays) 8 hours later at home.
Self effects: good mood, kind of chill
Others: First thing, before we ever left the house, I was taken by the man beast in a decidedly unbeast like way. Very sensual and nice. Then later, spent the afternoon at a farmer's market and then did some shopping. I found 2 really cute dresses and a top and the lady who owned the store knocked off a substantial amount of cash from each item...I kept thinking, "What's the catch?" Turns out there was none! Nice Went for sundaes and were both given extra toppings at no extra charge - maybe he was just really nice with everyone that way...
All day man beast was cuddly, holding my hand, reaching over and touching me while driving. I reapplied later at home and things just kept following in a calm, chill, hanging out and just plain ol' loving evening.
A girl could really get used to this

[NuTrix]

That's what I needed to hear - I was on the edge! I will keep going solo and hold out as long as I can bear!

[Morgaine]

Stay strong Nutrix! I'm actually really loving reading how each one is working individually for you. I jumped straight to the mixing, and you're right- there's no going back...

[NuTrix]

Re-reading my notes on Bliss, and after trying these new goodies, I'm thinking now that I just should've bought more XS products to tweak it with! I love my fellow enablers...

[girlfriday]

Yes, I read about your Bliss adventures. Paired with Love Boat... pretty good combo. Very upbeat and fun during my travels.

[NuTrix]

Had Bliss but it just wasn't right for me solo. Now that I have a ton of goodies to mix with - you have me re-thinking it... maaaybe future purchase?

[NuTrix]

You guys are killing me I'm still trying to sort out all the things my XS products do solo and I'm so tempted to just jump ahead and mix~n~match (totally my normal MO but I've got brand new-to-me goodies here) I want to take them for solos at least 1 more time each...and if I start mixing now I probably won't go back to solo - the variety usually turns out to be too much fun!

[MaliciousIntent]

I got similar effects over the course of a week, it made me rather chatty and killed my filter a bit. The girl did give me a hug and I "nervously" asked if I was wearing to much colonge, I was wearing 3x sprays of LB, unscented and she said I smelt 'really', with "grr" good and got giggly and hand hold-y. LB is mellow and sorta like 'spark'. In stacks it uptunes the sexuality of Evolve, but is ok on its own. With Taboo instant dirty talk.

[Morgaine]

Great experiment Girlfriday- that sounds like a simple and fun mix I'll have to try! Your masseuse would have been feeling so good, and so affectionate towards you. This sounds like it could create the kind of upbeat and nurturing vibe that could be useful in lots of situations.

I'm so addicted to discovering the inherent possibilities of combining these gorgeous products. So far everything I've come across creates a noticeable effect of its own, but I'm usually aiming to project a fairly complex and specific impression that lends itself to mad experiments. These products come together in a beautiful synergistic symphony when you combine them with a little forethought.

I agree totally that Love Boat reveals its most fabulous side when combined with upbeat things- try some with a couple of sprays of Flirt one day, or some Tease- so much fun!

Maiden voyage on the Love Boat - 2 sprays to the neck. 1 Spray of Bliss to the forearms and rubbed together. Love Boat was scented with Jasmine Vanilla, which was light and fragrant. Bliss was unscented.

Normally I start solo with one blend at a time, but Morgaine had me dazzled by her stories of "one spray of this here, and one spray of that there." So I gave them both a go. Good decision!

I was on my way out to get a massage. It was about 87 degrees outside, so diffusion was nice. Immediate impression was a genuine happy feeling. Not a spring-in-the-step kind of happiness, but more like an inner emotional joy. I felt good in a carefree kind of way.

Got on the subway and a guy who had been standing next to us on the platform (in my cloud for sure), ended up sitting across from me. He was all Mr. Guy Smiley on the train. Constantly glancing and smiling. Hits are easy to gauge on the subway. It's one of my favorite testing grounds because I can REALLY tell the difference when I'm wearing pheromones. This was one of those times.

I was a serious chatterbox with my friend on the train. And I was using my arms a lot when I was talking... in exaggerated movements. Then a dad and a baby got on the train and I was so happy to see that baby, lol. I was smiling like crazy. It was to the point where I thought, "I sure am smiling a lot, A LOT!" No apologies... Smiles for everyone.

In my massage appointment, my masseuse barely let me get 5 minutes of quiet. He kept talking about this kink in my shoulder.... how tight my right leg was... how to sit in my chair properly so my back didn't bother me. And then he mentioned a couple of times, "Just relax... I'll fix the blanket," or "You don't even have to move, I'll adjust it for you." It was above and beyond his usual banter. Dare I say it was kind of lovey. Nothing that made me nervous, but way more doting than usual.

I believe he massaged off the Bliss to the point where I could barely smell it after the session. But because Love Boat was on the front of my neck, it stayed intact. I decided not to re-apply and in my honest opinion, I could tell the difference when Bliss was mostly gone. I feel like I got more subdued, though that could've also been because I'd just gotten an A+ massage. I was very relaxed.

So far, I like Love Boat. I think I like it layered with something upbeat. Bliss is probably a good choice for me in that department.

[girlfriday]

That is SO funny about the smell of Fantasy, lol! But then again, I was the kid who loved gasoline scratch-and-sniff stickers! I might just have a weird tolerance for certain smells.

[NuTrix]

LOL! Tolerable and interesting, yes, but I would still never wear without a cover. So, yeah, I'm with you so far Morgaine. Believe me - I was surprised to be thinking, "Kinda musky but not too bad." The note it added to my cover (a foodie marshmallow heavy fragrance) made for a pleasant combination imo. I wore Vibe yesterday and had the "Eee GADS, THIS one's a stinker!" response, so not all XS products are Unscented equally. Hmm, oddly, the cop bomb DM+ is the only one so far that I think I could wear w/o a cover - once it dries down - then it's nearly impossible for me to smell...the spray in the air is another matter! Wooo-hooo - if that doesn't light up a whole room! With XS, I too am sorting out now the best course to cover these "aromatic" beauties

I will continue to use it solo for a while to get a handle on it's potential, (along with all of my new goodies), before I begin to mix it up.

Girlfriday - Please post your findings when your new treasure arrives - mixed or solo!

[Morgaine]

Me too Girl Friday- I've always combined Love Boat with other blends, so nice to see how it works solo.

On another note, how interesting to note the differences in how people smell the blends. I find all of the XS mixes to be potent, and have sometimes worried that others might smell the mones even with cover scent, as I definitely can. But Fantasy, light on the smell-o-meter? It was one of a couple of blends I ordered unscented, and when I took a whiff I almost keeled over, lol! I actually have yet to use it beyond one small experiment, cause I'm wary of how to properly cover it. Hopefully my nose is a rare beast, or XS pheromone usage won't be very covert.

[girlfriday]

Thanks NuTrix! I ordered Love Boat yesterday, so I'm excited to give it a go. Interesting that you found unscented tolerable. I felt the same way about Fantasy. It's very light on the smell-o-meter.

I was curious to see if Love Boat was good all by its lonesome, since I read about people layering it all the time. Glad to see that it can go solo or layered successfully.
