Check out the www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com as well, there are a shit-ton of crazy ass sounding scents they blend up, website is a little chaotic but I don't recall any reviews of their scents, so you might find it interesting.
If you get the notion, I'd personally like to hear about these in terms of the projection, silage, and longevity - those are the three touch-stones in a scent quality that make or break its usefulness for me rather than just liking the scent.
Enjoy and thanks!
Maybe i can chime in here since i use LPMP products 85% of the time...
Most of the LPMP products i have tried stay close to the skin.
I think i heard Mara say this a while back ( it might also be their forum).. she likes it when people walk by you or are in close proximity and then get a whiff of something and say " what is that smell?" and get intrigued to get close to you, almost a mystery. so intense sillage/ projection isnt her interest.
As i said most products stay close to the skin especially the oils, the user gets little whiffs here and there as it wofts up from the application points. This isnt to say someone near you will get the woft also.
Or if your walking just the movement of air seems to help in projecting the scent
You can though, get the alcohol version in which the diffusion will help in terms of sillage and projection.
Longevity obviously favours oils rather than the spray.
So you can cover more area with the oils or get spray or order it 60/40, both of best worlds.
I personally mix some oils into small togos with for example bliss: , alcohol from bliss + oils from LPMP seems to work awesome.
I personally like them for their ability to last long and stay close to the skin.
This gives you a reason to get close to women and converse, not relying on cologne to seek out targets.. such as Thundr's example of having his arm around the female.
Some LPMP products are more heavier than the others, such as Teachers pest which is very strong and full/bold vs. Jack for men which is much lighter as i can barely smell it on my skin.
This to me is the difference in their products light vs heavy. and the amount you use determines the strength, obviously.
So its hard to say which products have greater sillage/ projection/ etc since their are a lot of variables ( skin chemistry etc)
What i like may not what you like and vice versa..
for example:
Excalibur, ruisseau, creoles man - all the wet, green scents smell like port-a-potty, urinal puck on my skin and i've been told this, even without mones on.
But others on the forums seem to love it.
My favorites are- boddice ripper, Tails of Mystery, teachers pest, north pole, pendragon, moon of the falling leaves, Masked man(kinda, very vanilla) , brothers brimstone - after it dries down, thane, dad for men is good also. Thrills something? i lost sampler...
^---- they all do something on my skin which i like and people around me like.
There is a lot more i would liek to try also.... gotta find what works for you so just get a sampler pack..
also you can go on to LPMP forum and you can see what the lovely girls over there like their man to smell like.
The blackphoenixalchemylab website looks frikin hectic...... would be interesting to try some out...
