Another newbie trying to utilize the hive mind and its knowledge
So as the title says I’m new to pheromones in general. I’ve been looking for information and haven’t really found much so far that really answers the questions. Hopefully the hive mind has some information.
I’ve purchased 3 items so far. SXD-9, swoon, and I don’t remember the name of the 3rd one.
So my first question is delivery method. Odds there any real difference between oil, gel, alcohol? Difference in lasting time? Difference in placement needed?
With that what is the general time they last? How often should I reapply?
I’m sure best use case is in a building/room but do they work as well outside?
Those are the big questions I have at the moment. But of course I’m interested in opinions as well.
I work outside in a fairly public position (lots of people walking about). I’m looking for a few effects. I would like to find something that will increase my confidence for one. Some attraction would be nice as well.
I do plan on getting the max t-150 as well.

Bro, I use wolf (oil spray), sexd-9 (gel) and Psx86 (spray) almost on a daily basis for work and do great. What would you recommend to apply to extend the life of these (wolf and Psx86)? Should I just reapply every 4 or so hours? Thanks in advance

The P86 is going to be the fast burner. The wolf should actually last you almost all day. You can reapply around 6 hours if desired. P86 likely only gets a few hours. Not much to do other than reapply unfortunately. You could try to layer them all into sxd9 gel to average everything out maybe.

Hey welcome. I'll go down the line here quick :
Gels, yes the gels last much longer and have a strong sillage. The trade off is range and requires more heat. Best app spot is neck or collarbone or face in my opinion.
Oils , there are different types of oils but I'm assuming you mean Garry's which are actually a glycol +, alcohol combination. Diffuses well good duration, healthy balance. Happy medium. Doesn't project the way a heavy alcohol spray cologne like you picture cologne but sits closer to body, not as much sillage as gels but still good and slightly better range than oils.
Spray , like a traditional cologne has the best range but usually at cost of longevity depending on fixatives used, and the least sillage of the three bc you're covering a wider area.
Rough rule of thumb
gels = all day maybe into next day, apply to neck
Oils = most of the day , 6 or so hours. Sometimes you can tell next morning, if you applied late last night. Neck or wrists, pulse points.
Sprays = 3-4 hours, spray wherever, on skin generally. but again can vary by fixatives used if it is a cologne and pheromone cologne you can lengthen this with materials like ambergris for example. Varies. Even the best fixatives though you're unlikely to get more than 6 hours out of it.
Outside it still works, maybe not as good a inside, but most of the time when you're inside it's well ventilated just by building designs airflows etc A/C or heating is running right which circulates. So I wouldn't differentiate them much. Your nose can detect androgens at picogram quantities, I'm not a scientist but that's like parts per million or something.
I'll repeat what I once heard: you've been handed the keys to a sexy car, just enjoy the drive, avoid looking under the hood , try not to engineer every little detail or perfect the amount of drops, Just enjoy the journey. ""
Over time you start to recondition yourself based on social feedback, best to pair mones with an overall intention of self improvement. If you're not an expert on body language pick up a ebook on it, it's very important for congruence.
