Flirty Little Secret is an oil based perfume that contains pheromones. These are chemicals that are secreted in our sweat (and other bodily fluids) that release neurotransmitters that are believed to directly modify the behavior of the opposite sex, such as triggering sexual excitement.

Now that's out of the way ... does it work? Who will it work for?

It's designed to be used I'm assuming for a female as there is no indication on any of the packaging it is gender neutral and I am pretty sure males and females emit different pheromones. So lets just assume thats what the target market for this product is.

It can be used just like a normal perfume. Apply it to the neck area, wrists, cleavage, elbows, behind the kness, anywhere you want to apply it. It's oil based and comes in a small 10ml roll on applicator so there's no worries of accidentally spraying yourself in the eyeball or missing the target completely.

The texture is a light oil that rolls easily onto the skins surface and can be left to absorb or can be rubbed into the skin itself. It isn't greasy and is very easy to apply. You also don't need go crazy as a short roll of the applicator leaves an ample amount on the skin.

I did lick it ... and no it doesn't taste like anything, absolutely flavourless. The smell is very much a vanilla base with a floral hint and according to the packaging it contains Cedarwood, Jasmine, Plum and Sandalwood. As with all perfumes though eachperson will find something uniqiue about the scent that they either like or don't like. I quite enjoy vanilla scents so it's subtle and not overpowering as some fragrances can be.

Oil based perfumes tend to last longer than alcohol based perfumes and moisturizing first with a non fragrant moisturizer and then adding the perfume will help it last longer. It stays on the skin and the scent lasts for a good few hours. It absorbs really well and you can rub it into the skin after application or let it settle on it's own.

Did it attract males? I'm not quite sure on this. I wear other perfumes which male friends seem to prefer more. I wore it out and about and I can't say any attention I got was due to the perfume itself, there was no difference wearing this one v's another as far as males approaching me because of the way I smelled.

The packaging is cute and would make an excellent wee gift. It comes in a cardboard tube which is silver with the logo and textual information of the product and the ingredients. The top of the tube simply pops off and it's small, easily held in your hand. Inside is a small, black 10ml bottle with silver text and a chrome colored screw top that is easy to remove to show a roll on applicator. It's basically an over sized bullet so it is perfect to pop into your bag and a perfect discreet travel friendly perfume.

The outside cardboard container is recyclable. It doesn't leak and extremely easy to apply.

The jojoba oil is the same oil base in many massage oils which is nice as it absorbs readily into the skin and is a great base for holding a scent well.

I'm not entirely sold on the effectiveness of having pheromones in a perfume and I'm not entirely sure it works in that degree but overall it's a gorgeous wee 'pocket' perfume to have handy and it's not over powering nor 'cheap' smelling either. It's a cute gift and lots of fun but I'm still hooked on my favourite perfumes and this one isn't going to replace them anytime soon.
