I just got a bottle of EoW from …and it does NOT smell unpleasant in the bottle. I wanted to see if it would smell differently on my skin, so I pressed my finger to the opening, tilted the bottle and rubbed that between my wrists, about 2 minutes ago…
I can smell something very, very faint but I would not call it unpleasant at all.
If I sniff the edge of the closed bottle, I do get a very slight odor and I am not sure I’d want to smell like that, but I don’t seem to.
I do have a very good sense of smell, normally.
Can someone with experience with EoW give some insight as to why this doesn’t smell strong like it is reputed to? Also, since it does NOT seem stinky, should I still mix it in something or just try a drop on my bare skin and then cover with perfume? People seem to like Pink Sugar with cops, does anyone prefer Pink Sugar Sensual over Pink Sugar? I have been wearing Ralph or Ralph Wild for years, so I’d like some feedback before I change perfumes. I live 45 minutes from my nearst Sephora, also.
The silly story! I went out to do errands earlier and sprayed two sprays of IS/B on, thinking, 'Yes, I AM magnificent! Now I shall go make conquests of every man I meet!" LOL, J/K(Ihave a crazy sense of humor)..I DID notice more eye contact and one older man who was totally checking me out, but he may have just been drawn to my natural luscious-ness again J/K…
BUT the OLD lady in line ahead of me at the bank would NOT stop turning around and staring at me! And it was a looong slooooooow line!
I hope I can soon try the IS/B on my intended target, the absolute LOVE of MY LIFE, whom I am currently separated from, but for now, I’d just like to get a little pheromone knowledge from those of you in the know!
THANKS!!!
the indole note (the really stinky one) was removed from EoW somewhat recently (i was confused at first too - spent plenty of time lurking here to learn this ). i’ve never smelled the old (really smelly) one, but the new one is not too offensive to me. more offensive than anything it smells kind of like rotten fruit to me, but nothing “bodily” offensive.
i usually put a couple drops on my skin and then spray something else over it about 10 minutes later. i did mix it with something (some ginger vanilla body spray) so that i could take it in a to-go bottle (note: i used one of those airline carry-on spritzers, so that i could mix EoW with the fragrance without risking the entire bottle of fragrance), but when i have a chance to apply it where i can just drop it on, i prefer that. i just got a pink sugar imitation - i wasn’t hot enough on the real thing to spend to get it, but the imitation was super cheap (and a bit smaller) & whatever it was offending me in the real one seems to be missing from the imitation. life never works that perfectly however, you can cover cops with whatever you want to try! - if you think it smells nice, then go for it! no idea what ralph wild smells like, but i’d try covering with that first!
It’s true, the newest batch of EoW doesn’t smell as rank as previous batches. Why?.. is a popular question. Rabbit is right, the indole note has been removed.
Below is the link with the explanation and another link about covering the scent of EoW with perfume that should help.
A gazillion posts on EoW will pop up if you do a search.
So, you got hit on by an OLD lady while wearing IS/B?! Well, at least you got a hit! That’s the way it goes when you wear these molecules…they don’t discriminate as to whom they effect…anyone in your pherocloud can/will be effected.
Try the IS/B with a few drops of EoW when you meet up with your ex and add some Instant Shine if you have it. Have fun, good luck and let us know how it goes!
Thank you both for taking the time to reply! I appreciate it!
I went to the beach tonight, alone…with the little bit of EoW that I tried on earlier. I didn’t think it smelled bad at all, so I didn’t try to cover it. I would have if I were going to be around anyone else, but I was going for the solitude.
Anyway, it was very damp at the beach tonight and that ripened the EoW right up! LOL, it wasn’t really offensive, but when that damp sea air hit me, I could definitely smell myself!
Thanks, Bella, for the links. Interesting reading. I will definitely try mixing a small batch up so I don’t ruin my whole bottle of perfume.
Now if I can just get my target to call me so we can have a little face time, I will see if he can resist me! LOL, THAT was never a problem with us! We always had amazing chemistry, just all around awesome chemistry…
You may have a fresh batch. Copulins need to cure before they get that stinky smell to them. You may find over time you notice it more.
Some of the stink is as others have indicated the Idole which has been removed. Some of it is general curing and this doesn’t affect the effectiveness, the molecules are still there to be inhaled they just smell different.
Thank you, Tisha. I hope they don’t get too stinky over time!
I don’t know if anyone will see this, but OMG, I have to share! I was trying to finagle a ‘chance’ meeting with my old flame this am, so I tried a few drops of EoW and a spray of IS/B and went out. Well, my boss ended up calling me and asking me to do him a favor. He needed someone to go pick up a car he bought his son. So, I said I would, met him at work, got in his truck for the 1.5 hour drive, and remembered what I was wearing too late to do anything about it ! I don’t know what he was thinking, but he kept looking at me funny for the whole trip!
Your ex was your intended target, but your boss is the one who got the “special treatment” instead. Best laid plans, eh? Oops! The poor man, lol…trapped in a car with you for an hour and a half…getting whacked with EoW and IS/B. He responded, obviously, and was lookin’ at you funny because you were making him a bit uncomfortable with your “new” sexier signature. No doubt he was seeing you in a different light! Tread carefully, chick-a-dee, or next time he might be asking you for a different kind of “favor”.
again J/K…
