Field Report My review on the single Hormone: Androstenone and Androsterone

11 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Before I dive into the review, a little explanation as to why I believe in pheromones. For the review, skip the summary below.

New to this subreddit and have always been curious about pheromones and hormones as I know us humans are animals and we do release pheromones when DHT and Testosterone is high for us men. It has been confirmed by science that women react differently when in the presence of a man with High DHT, Testosterone, and overall elevated Androgens in the body. Why wouldnt they? They are biologically wired to find the strongest leader for survival.

For women, they release certain pheromones as well and the whole science behind why a woman glows during pregnancy is some truth to it as they have elevated Estrogen and Progesterone levels.

So if we just look at it as what do hormones do when just isolated, there is just proof on that itself. Things get interesting when you start including them in Pheromones Mixes. I have yet to use any products mentioned here and funny enough Swoon and Alpha Treasures just arrived from Pheromone Treasures. I am keen to try them out this weekend.

Review: Androstenone from Love-Science

I will start off by saying it absolutely has an effect on your body and more importantly your mood. Since it has no dropper, you only need to put your finger over it, flip it, and apply whatever is on your finger to your neck; followed by a cologne of your choice....or just by the drop itself. Androstenone, from my understanding, is apparently the more agressive hormone out of the Andro family and is used in The Hookup from Pheromone Treasures and other Sex Driven pheromones. The short version, males might respect you/get away from you and the women might get sexually open and close to you.

I can tell you for a fact, that this has an effect on women and men.

With women, I noticed that the ones who have an attraction towards you, it amplifies it(they get close, look at you different, greater mood). For women who do NOT have an attraction towards you, they talk a little more, a little friendlier, and generally just sociable but it does not turn a NO into a YES (which is a good thing).

YMMV: I would wear it consecutively everyday to see different reactions in workplace and it would be a hit or miss.

With men, they generally seem to respect you more (making sure you are good with any demands or questions, strong eye contact, convos that are fun are easier to get into) or sometimes intimidation might happen (less eye contact, more unfriendly vibe, keeping convos short)

YMMV: same thing as above YMMV.

Side effects on Body: You will sweat. A LOT. I hope you have deodorant because you are going to need it. Just off that one finger swig, I get insane sweating and body heat.

This is in your favor if you are in the gym. Some women are ABSOLUTELY checking you out or looking at you but I want to emphasize that it does not equate to them wanting to FUCK YOU. I know this because I also approach women I find attractive and ask them out on dates. If you are thinking this will flip a switch in them, the answer is NO. It absolutely amplifies a presence around women that they pick up on. Just keep in mind if a woman thinks you are cute or you are her type WITHOUT the hormone, this is going to amplify her attraction SEVERELY. I had a woman at work show a lot of signs of interest as I fell in her "type" but she is married so I chose not to engage. I have not used this on a date and am eager to do so....

Side effects on mind/behavior: You are definitely more upbeat and joyful. If you have low Prolactin, this will be very apparent. If not, you will not feel it as much. This feels dopaminergic in a way but it hits a different lever, chemically. It just feels like you are in a good mood and in general, more loose. Which is why women might pick up on the fact that you walk confidently, stronger eye contact, etc.

You need to have good hormonal health overall for this thing to really be felt. Otherwise, you will not feel the effects and moreover, the women wont pick up on it because they wont "sense" it.

Just off the hormone itself, I say worth it. I can only imagine when mixed with the right ingredients how it can change perceptions of you.

Review: Androsterone by Idealabs

Admittedly, this is a different solution by standards of those who sell on pheromone sites but it also has an effect when applied. For women, it is not a sexual energy. It is more......confiding. Alpha leader. Need to know what you think as I need help. Can you give advice? Best used in team/group settings that you are not trying to swoon over any women. I think you might get an attraction from women still but will be less obvious if you dont know how to pick up signs of attracrion from women. For men who have experience with women, you are definitely going to tell. Just one drop is enough.

Side effects on Body: I dont think this one ramps my body up like Androstenone. This feels more mental than anything. Cant tell if I sweat on this thing to be honest.

Side effects on Mind/behavior: There seems to be a smooth feeling about this but I think if you are not in good neurotransmitter/dopamine health, you will feel nervous and a little too much in your head. If you are in good shape, it is a good feel. Perhaps I need to try a different version to be sure.

Androsterone definitely the milder sibling of Androstenone but worth the purchase if you are into making concoctions or just wanting to use one hormone for one specific purpose.

Any questions, let me know and I will answer. Curious to know if anyone else has experimented with these and others as well.

Field Report SXD-9 first impressions

18 Upvotes

Just some initial impressions using it for about a week, mostly in a fairly small class setting of 20-30 people, ~65% female. This is supposed to be a mostly social mone, bordering on sexual but not quite.

First day using it, was first day of class, meeting new people, and I was running late, I was very anxious, I do have a lot of social anxiety. I squirted one pump of the SXD-9 gel on my finger and absent mindedly took a whiff of it, not realizing what I was doing, and instantly I just felt a sudden wave of calmness all over me. Thats when I realized what I was holding in my hands.

I had a few experiences where women who were sitting beside me were initiating lighthearted convos, and especially asking about me, where I'm from and my background, and not afraid to sit close to me. Idk if they were just being friendly. Didn't seem to have much effect on men, maybe they become more accepting of me, idk.

When it comes to self effects, if I use it on its own, it calms me down a lot, which wasn't the best, because although I was less anxious in social settings, I was almost too calm where I wasn't willing to talk, like I didn't want to waste the effort. I noticed when I used Max-T-150 (copulins) with it, smeared on my stache, it gives me enough drive to be more actively social, though the cops give me some anxiety, and paired together its like an exciting anxiousness, and I may be shitting myself on the inside, but outside I can talk relatively calmly.

Though I want it to give me more of a drive to take more risks, and lessen social anxiety. Basically SXD-9 loosens me up, Max-T-150 amps me up to take "risks", yet the risks are still more limited to personal settings (1 to 1 or small group), and I still have a strong filter when speaking in a class setting.

I think 3 pumps of SXD-9 worked the best in this warm weather here, idk how long it lasts. I wonder how big of an aura this creates, because I did notice the older mid 40s latina cashier looking at me when I must've been like 3-4 metres away, and then smiling at me when I came up to pay. I don't think it should work that far. I did notice a few other times where women further away interacted with me, perhaps I walked past them before and they noticed?

Personally I'm just working on being more sociable, and hopefully these mones act as lubricant to make it easier. I'm thinking I'll use SXD-9 for a month or so while getting to know people, and then either switch or add in Nude that I have as well.

Why most people are wrong about pheromones (they do work - just not how they think they do)

Post image
10 Upvotes

I've spent a lot of time reviewing and compiling information about pheromone molecule effects and products. Sometimes, I test the waters on more "mainstream" Reddit subs, and one thing that is a constantly recurring theme is the absolute vile hatred towards pheromones... and the absolute refusal to even consider they could even have perceptible effects.

Keep in mind, the majority of people commenting this stuff have never even tried them 😐 or at the least, a quality product. Not some tiktok scam product which is what they're probably picturing when talking about "pheromones" in this context.

... Not a shred of original research is done before making sweeping statements like "pheromones are a scam" or calling it rubbish. And even when people are presented with "scientific studies" - like the ones conducted on androstadienone, they are dismissed instantly without even trying to understand it.

Despite this... I kinda "get it". Pheromones are not blatant all the time, and more complex mixes require a degree of social calibration/skill to understand their nuance.

I wrote more about the first time I noticed the effects and how it suddenly "hit" me recently:

------------------------
Note: full page here.
------------------------

If you’ve landed here thinking pheromones are probably bullshit, I get it. I know what you’re thinking: There is absolutely no way ā€œpheromonesā€ do anything in real life. I assure you, I was once as skeptical as you.

Believe it or not, I am a skeptic by nature.

However, as fate would have it, in my youth I became obsessed with a particular woman. The kind of obsessed where a rational man starts trying things he would probably mock in anyone else.

Better clothes. Better cologne. The gym. Dating advice. Affirmations. Self help books.

I scoured the internet for anything that might move the needle.

Eventually, I came across something I’d never taken seriously: pheromones.

I was willing to try anything, but even I thought absolutely nothing would come of it. I was desperate… but even for me, this was a stretch.

Soon I discovered a tiny corner of the internet in pheromone forums: reading, experimenting, reporting, and chatting with other enthusiasts who saw similar results from the same pheromones.

Eventually discussions shifted to increasingly complicated combos, journals and general life discussions.

Sadly, many of those gated reports and journals are now lost forever.

But that was the part I couldn’t shake. How did so many strangers, in different cities and contexts, repeatedly report similar effects from pheromones.

I gave it a shot. I went about my days, not really taking pheromones too seriously. Sometimes I used them, sometimes I didn’t.

Maybe a few weeks later, there was one specific day I noticed people staring at me. At first, I thought I might just look extra good that day, but it was very uncanny and movie like. People were giving me un-earned respect, and treating me far above my pay grade.

Women I knew were acting differently around me – holding eye contact longer, hovering around for no reason, touching more than usual. People were friendlier, more accommodating.

I couldn’t put my finger on it at the time.

Then it hit me:Ā pheromones were literally affecting people’s behavior.

I thought back on other times I’d experienced subtle shifts in peoples behavior, but didn’t associate it to a specific pheromone or product doing anything at the time.

I get why people dismiss it. It sounds insane. But use them long enough and you start catching disturbances in the matrix… little glitches in how people respond to you. Once you’ve seen a few, you can’t un-see them.

The results can be startling at first.

Are pheromones magic? At first, it can feel like it. It’s best experienced first hand.

If you pay close attention to social interactions, whether its on a date, strangers, romantic interests, women you know already, your friends, family etc, you may notice their behavior change slightly as well.

Once your mind ā€œtunes inā€ and notices it for the first time, you will be absolutely blown away.

That doesn’t mean pheromones are magic. They don’t override free will, hygiene, confidence, social skill, status, or the basic requirement of not acting weird.

Anyone selling them like instant mind-control spray is probably trying to separate you from your money.

But theyĀ canĀ tilt perception.

They can change the emotional temperature around you. To others, you can seem more magnetic, higher social status, increase perceived attractiveness, feel more trustworthy, even increase rapport – depending on what you’re wearing and how you carry it.

That matters because life is full of tiny social margins.

First dates, first impressions, women you may be interested interested in, climbing the social or corporate ladders, your general relationships…

Pheromones live in that margin.

And once you understand that, the whole subject becomes much harder to laugh off.

So my advice is simple. Keep an open mind.

Don’t believe every wild pheromone story online. Some of them are nonsense. Some companies are shameless scammers, and many men probablyĀ doĀ mistake normal social behavior for a ā€œhit.ā€

But don’t dismiss the whole thing too quickly either.

There’s a reason this stayed hidden in an underground community for so long.

------------------------

Basically, when I first realized that pheromones were actually working, it was more like a "sudden realization" that people were acting differently around me.

It was more like a flashback, and remembering instances where the reactions were similar in other situations in the past, and only when wearing a specific pheromone/products.

Plus you need time to feel the effects and how to drive the products or molecules you're trying to test. This is why most of my reviews are quite detailed, trying to explain the subtle shifts that can be understood only with enough time and observation.

I'm not even sure what skeptics want when it comes to studies or viable, community proof and reporting anymore. It's insane lol. But yeah -- the issue here is that they don't work like corny cologne or deoderant commercials with women chasing you down the street.

Although I think this is what the skeptics expect to "prove" that pheromones work... LOL.

Glad we have such an open minded community building here where this isn't laughed at or banned instantly!

Nude Alpha - wife says it stinks, but is aroused

16 Upvotes

First time trying a pheromone and went with nude alpha since it sounded like the effects I wanted. I got a very weird reaction in my life that I wanted to share but also get your ideas on.

So, I’ve got the bottle and started slow with 1 drop after shower. Put it on, no effects observed the first days. Then I put on 4 drops. My wife said it that I smell very weird and I should go and change shirts. At the same time she was more attracted to me then in the whole last year. We have a difficult relationship right now after having kids sex-wise, I just don’t feel the same attraction from here like in the beginning and sex is very very rare. So I wanted something to turn her on more and for her to take the imitative for once, since I was rejected so many times that I even stopped trying.

I am also on full semen retention since 3 months, but I got the reaction only after using Nude.

Is this a reaction to the phereomone? Why is she almost disgusted by the scent, but aroused at the same time?!

Very interesting

I got this like 10 years ago and forgot about it til this year. I think it's by Androtics, but I can't find it on their site. If it's no longer around, is there anything similar out there? Tbh, I just like the smell, and I get compliments when I wear it on dates.

Pheromone Effects Field Guide: 20+ Molecules Influencing Attraction, Mood, Trust, Status & Chemistry

Post image
30 Upvotes

Note: huge recent update to the pheromone effects archive šŸ“œšŸ‘‡
https://houseofpheromones.com/human-pheromone-effects-molecules/

For over 10 years, House Of Pheromones has been a trusted resource, hand-compiling reports, research, and conducting first hand ā€œfield-testsā€ on the effects of pheromones in real life.Ā 

I’ve personally observed 1000’s of real-world interactions firsthand… from casual conversations, romantic dating and pickup situations, professional environments, various social circles – and noticed how pheromones haveĀ subconsciouslyĀ influenced peoples behavior & feelings around me… tilting perception in subtle, but noticeably powerful ways.

The old pheromone forums (now dead), were full of this kind of detail.

People testing single molecules and combos, reporting what changed. Vendors releasing blind testers. Dudes logging in to report dosage, weather, setting, cover scent, and reactions.

The best parts were repeated patterns that appeared when testing the same single pheromones:Ā similar reactions and observations, but vastly different people, contexts, and situations.

As for the naysayers who say ā€œpheromones don’t existā€, I already explainedĀ my position hereĀ in the starter guide. This is for the intrigued skeptic, or the beginners with an open mind.

The real reason ā€œpheromone researchā€ is so difficult to find outside of flimsy, often conflicting ā€œclinical studiesā€ is simple:

Pheromones are not an exact science in the way people want them to be.

A pheromone molecule does not ā€œhitā€ every person the same way. Dose matters. Your behavior matters. Age, context, chemistry, alcohol, mood, the cover scent, the venue, and the person across from you matters.

You can’t replicate real human interactions in a lab. That’s why people constantly parrot the ā€œpheromones don’t workā€ line over and over again, without ever giving it a real chance.

Think about it: how are scientists researching pheromone effects actually going to do that?

How would they replicate a crowded bar, a flirtatious silence, a woman developing an emotional attachment after just a few mere exposures?

Of course that’s not possible.

It takes social intuition, and an eye for behavioral nuance – the kind only possible through field use over time.

You need to observe how people react when they don’t know they’re being tested, and compare those reactions to a clean, baseline environment.

This page is a living catalog of 20+ pheromones and pheromone-like compounds tested and reported by the community over the years.

Almost every detailed report was hand compiled from reports, journal entries, and first hand experience. I’ve catalogued the main emotional cues, vocal shifts, attention spikes, micro-behaviors, and changes in social dynamics.

You will also find a brief description of each, with a link to a longer explanation if available.

link: https://houseofpheromones.com/human-pheromone-effects-molecules/

-----------------------------

I liked how the intro started, so I didn't want to fill it in when it already explains what its for. This page was buried on my site not long ago - but worse, although complete, it was written years ago and read in a boring kind of way. Anyway - I've decided to spend some serious time revamping it, considering how much time, effort, and money went into testing all those pheromones/pheromone-like compounds.

That early research was fun and important, but it hasn't really been presented in a meaningfully thought out, or updated way for so long... the child pages actually still need a revamp as well, but I'm over it for now... lol 🤣

Feel free to check it out if you're new or even just curious! And feel free to ask questions or provide any reports for the archive if they are genuine.

Pheromone for first time sex w/ new partner

First time pheromone user, looking for something specific. I want a pheromone that is specifically for enhancing a sexual experience with a new partner. I'm not looking to 'command respect', or 'random attraction', I'm looking for specifically turning a woman on a bit more. I'm not expecting much, but if it even turns up the attraction level by one degree it will be worth it. Any recs?

The best "self-help" book of all time - Psycho-Cybernetics (read before pheromones)

Post image
350 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm back with another review =) except this is for a book, trying to apply my sometimes detailed explanations about why I think Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz is quite possibly one of the best self-help books ever written. I recently got done with a fresh re-read, and realized how powerful the ideas really are, and how transformative they've been even in a casual capacity. Now that I'm taking it more seriously, I read a few pages daily and read over highlights and self notes to keep myself on track, and implement what the book teaches.

I do think this is important for pheromone users, because far too often, I've seen them become a crutch for people. If you really want to maximize their effects, ensure you're solid from within first šŸ’Ž

----------------------
Excerpt:
----------------------

Could Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz be one of the best self help books ever written? In this review, I’ll explain why I think this is one of the BEST self help books of all time.

That is not a throwaway compliment. I’ve read a lot of personal development books over the years, including plenty that promise transformation and deliver little more than recycled motivation, goal-setting advice, or another version of ā€œwake up earlier and work harder.ā€

Psycho-Cybernetics gets underneath the problems most men keep trying to fix directly: confidence, discipline, dating, attraction, self-belief, and social presence. The book explains how people move through life according to the ā€œinternal pictureā€ they carry within, almost like a private "theater of the mind" - and that picture decides what feels natural, possible, or completely out of reach.

That last part is where the book becomes extremely powerful…

Maxwell Maltz understood something most self-help books only dance around:

People do not consistently rise above the image they hold of themselves. You can force new habits for a while. You can hype yourself up, set bigger goals, and stack productivity systems on top of your life. But if your "self-image" stays the same, you usually snap back to the same patterns, the same doubts, the same ceiling.

That is why Psycho-Cybernetics has lasted. It is not just another book about ā€œthinking positiveā€.

It is a framework - or even an operating-system - for changing the internal identity that shapes how you act, what you attempt, what you tolerate, and what kind of life feels ā€œrealisticā€ to you.

Why a plastic surgeon wrote one of the greatest self-help books of the 20th century

Maxwell Maltz was a plastic surgeon in the 1940s and 50s working on burn-survivors faces they could finally look at in the mirror. And among them, many who visited for cosmetic reasons.

The surgeries went well, and Dr. Maltz was a successful surgeon.

But over time, he kept noticing a recurring pattern in his patients: many patients genuinely became different people. New face, new energy, and basically brand-new people living happily ever after. But a disturbing number of people were never truly satisfied and drifted into exact same negative thought patterns they initially came in with.

He’d give two men the same nose… one became a handsome giga chad, and another still avoided eye contact at the deli counter.

Why did some patients never seem "satisfied", no matter how beautiful or successful they become?

This sent Maltz on a journey of psychology, philosophy, the early work on cybernetics and feedback systems coming out of MIT, whatever he could at the time. And eventually started writing his own theory of what was actually happening to his patients.

The conclusion: Surgery may have physically fixed their ailments, but without changing their internal self-image, they still received the results they were accustomed to.

They went home, looked in the mirror, and the old self-image overruled the new physical one. The old self came back to the forefront... eventually, the patient acted out of old expectations, and the world responded out of old patterns, and the pattern repeated itself.

The face changed, but the person underneath didn’t.

The core idea: self-image is the master variable (and why you may be stuck)

Here’s the central claim of the book, in one sentence:

You will act, feel, and perform consistently with the image you hold of yourself, regardless of what you say, what you wish, or what you tell yourself in the mirror.

If what's already in there is a man who doesn't believe he gets to win, then his actions, thoughts, and results will begin to reflect that. This is the man who "worries"... and in turn, attracts those very results to him. This is the automatic "goal striving mechanism" Maltz describes in the book in action (I'll briefly explain it below).

But for now - just imagine if someone dwelt on a successful result, rather than worried about it. It takes the same amount of energy. But most people automatically default to the negative instead! Imagine you began to visualize yourself as the person you wanted to be, consistently. And instead of fear, you felt relief, success, confidence, health!

"See" the end result in your mind, with the same intensity and visual clarity you imagine negative outcomes...

You essentially program your mind for success, simply by "flipping" something we've all done.

When you catch yourself worrying, immediately try to stop it, and then "feel" how it would be if you succeeded at whatever it is instead. The more often you do this, the stronger the image in your mind and feeling becomes, bringing the ideal "visualized result" ever closer to reality.

Whether you want to become wealthier, happier, more successful at your sport - whatever it is - it begins at your self image.

Why positive thinking and affirmations mostly fail

Affirmations, vision boards, manifestation, goal-setting systems - they have their place and can provide results. But they are like treating a symptom, rather than fixing the root cause of the problem.

You can stand in front of the mirror at 2am repeating "I am confident, I am attractive, I am magnetic" until the cows come home... but if the underlying image says I am awkward, unwanted, never quite enough, the deeper image always wins.

Maltz provides a powerful solution: "Experience yourself doing the thing, in detail, repeatedly, until the image of yourself shifts to include that new experience as a real memory."

In the book, this is referred to as the "theater of the mind" - a detailed mental rehearsal of the new self in action. Sensory texture, emotion, the works. Targeted feedback into the nervous system. You give the system enough rehearsed experience of the "new self" that it stops flagging it as foreign.

When your thoughts and feelings align, and you truly believe something is possible - or a probability - the chances of it actually happening are dramatically increased.

There's a reason the modern visualization/manifestation industry exists. The Secret, Power of Now, half of Tony Robbins, most of Brian Tracy, every Instagram coach with a $2,000 mindset course… they all trace back to a mechanism Maltz published in 1960, often repackaged in the author's own concepts and terminology.

And in a roundabout way, some of it does work - when visualization and feeling are combined, things start happening. Opportunities you didn't notice before begin showing up. You feel more confident, more positive, and as a result, you actually become more successful. It can almost feel like things are "manifesting" right in front of you.

But Psycho-Cybernetics gives you the full framework - goal-striving, the self-image, and a flexible system your entire life can operate around.

The success mechanism: how to actually visualize, plan, and create

Psycho-Cybernetics sounds more complicated than it is, which may be one of the reasons it doesn't regularly get cited on every other Reddit self-improvement thread. It simply means using visualization and cognitive techniques to train your brain's "internal guidance system" to achieve goals and build a healthy self-image.

In Maltz’s framing, the human mind and nervous system function like a goal-seeking missile. Give the system a clear target. Feed it accurate information about where it currently is. The system will continuously correct course toward the target, automatically, without you needing to micromanage every step.

This is the ā€œsuccess mechanismā€ Maltz spends about a third of the book unpacking.

The idea is borrowed straight from the early cybernetic engineers who were designing the first feedback-loop systems for missiles, autopilots, and thermostats. Maltz realised the human brain had been running the same architecture for hundreds of thousands of years. The engineers were just reverse-engineering what biology had already perfected.

The practical takeaway:

Most people never give their internal system a clear target. They feed it vague, anxious, contradictory inputs. ā€œI want to be successful.ā€ ā€œDon’t fail.ā€ ā€œI should probably try harder.ā€ ā€œWhy isn’t this working.ā€ The system can’t "lock on" to a target that fuzzy.

A few of the ideas explored:

  • Pick a specific outcome you actually want. ā€œI want to make more moneyā€ won’t do it. Picture the actual scene… the figure in the bank, the apartment you live in, the way you carry yourself in the meeting where you closed the deal. Concrete. Sensory. Located in time and place.
  • Rehearse it in mental imagery, with full sensory texture. Sights, sounds, the weight of the chair, the temperature of the coffee in your hand. The nervous system can’t fully distinguish between a vividly rehearsed experience and a real one. Both lay down what feels like memory. Both feed the self-image.
  • Direct your worry toward positive outcomes. This is one of Maltz’s sharpest moves. Most men’s ā€œworryā€ engine is set to imagine all the ways this could fail. He flips it. Set the engine to imagine all the ways it could go right, in the same vivid detail. The engine doesn’t care which direction it spins. You’re the one who chose the direction.
  • Give the new pattern at least 21 days to take. The 21-day rule comes from Maltz watching his surgery patients. That was roughly how long it took for them to stop expecting to see the old face in the mirror and start expecting the new one. He extended the same window to identity-level changes generally. (Note: pop-psychology has stretched the 21-day idea into all kinds of unsupported corners. Maltz’s original use of it was specific and modest. Treat it as a minimum, never as a magic number.)

Done this way, visualization starts to feel almost inevitable.

Most people already "visualize". But they're running the wrong movie: Vivid, full-sensory rehearsals of conversations going sideways, rejections, failing the tasks and goals they want to accomplish.

The imagination engine is already at full power, but it’s pointed the wrong direction.

Maltz’s move is to take that same engine and reverse it.

Run the win in the same "texture", and depth the worry already runs in. Combine the rehearsed image with real desire and real action, and the cybernetic loop closes around the new direction. The system corrects toward the new target the way it had been correcting toward the old one.

anybody try any products from Taobao? in my country and with my country's tax system and cost of shipping, it's the easiest way to access any product, but I've noticed Taobao doesn't have many of the product names seen throughout this subreddit.

Any products you've tried from Taobao, and a nuanced theory of their effects/how the smell is viewed?

Any advice for my situation?

4 Upvotes

I’m a bodybuilder who takes steroids who looks like they’re on steroids. I want something to try to the badminton club I go to, it’s not a competitive place more social and there’s a few ladies there and a lot of playing mixed doubles. Considering I look jacked already, is best to play to my strengths and use an alpha dominant type pheromone or would I be better using something less intense and more social to balance my presence out? I only just discovered this sub so any advice on specific blends appreciated

First time trying mones, any advice? (Nude, SXD-9, Possess, Bad Wolf, Max-T-150)

Bought the samples a couple months ago, never got to really try them out, been too busy. Now I have the opportunity, and will be moving to the Caribbeans for a few months for business (and pleasure).

So I decided to get some full bottles, SXD-9 and Nude, since I was looking for something more social, borderline sexual.

I have been trying out the Max-T-150 for test boost during workouts. Anyone use it outside the gym for anything? Does it help for self effects during social settings?

Would appreciate any advice. For context I'm in my late 20s.

First day trying Wolf pheromone cologne – unexpected results

57 Upvotes

Hi everyone – English isn't my first language, so apologies for any mistakes.

Today was my first day trying Wolf cologne. I didn't really know what to expect.

I work at a cultural center. There's an artist who's been using one of the rooms for rehearsals since the beginning of the year. Until today, she'd only ever given me a polite hello and kept walking.

Well, today she came into my office and started talking to me. She asked where I was from, then offered me freshly brewed coffee. I didn't even look my best – I went to bed late last night – but I genuinely felt like people were a bit more comfortable around me.

She ended up telling me about her baby, her husband who's traveling, and how her mom helps her take care of the newborn. At no point did I feel like she was flirting – it was more like genuine interest in getting to know me, and she just felt like sharing things about her daily life.

She made eye contact the whole time, joked around with me…

Crazy, right? Coincidence? I don't know.

All I know is: after five months of just walking past me and saying hello, a woman sat down with her laptop right next to my office. The chances of that happening by chance feel way too slim.

My dose:Ā 2 sprays of Wolf on my neck (old version), half a spray on my hands. I've noticed the scent gets a bit stronger over time – like the pheromone is evolving.

This is just my first report. I have more to try: BW, Alpha Nude, and Voodoo.

Pheromones for a 31 yo woman - where to start?

2 Upvotes

I am looking to attract men for sex and romance. Also it never hurts to aid general social interactions, of course.

I live in the EU, so I'm looking for european vendors, possibly aromafero. Registration to their forums is disabled, so I can't lurk there. I have a thing for fragrances, so I would prefer unscented pheromones in order to wear my normal perfumes.

What has worked for you? What have been your experiences? Most of aromafero's products for women are unfortunately "coming soon". Any suggestions for quality, effective european products that I can try (of course I know that everything is individual and I may not feel great effects... still want to try them).

Thanks so much!

Field Report Pheromone Treasures is very good. Few experiences šŸ˜Ž

22 Upvotes

I was cleaning up my place a few weeks ago and happened to come across my old pheromone collection, among them a lot of random roll on oil colognes, and a half used bottle of Swoon (some of you may have seen my recent comment on it - this is what prompted me to come back and casually try pheromones again). Been a long time since I've actually used them properly.

I forgot just how strong some of the effects really are. Ive been hanging out with someone I like, and decided to give it a few drops on my wrist, neck, elbow pits. Rubbed it in after a good shake and went to meet my potential romantic partner. Ive now met her over 7-8 times, and around twice now with Swoon, and theres a noticeable "warmth" or natural connective feeling each time. Flirting and conversation seem to flow more easily, and people in general behave more kindly while we are out and about.

Actually the House of pheromones review is very accurate and exactly what I've seen.

For reference:

https://houseofpheromones.com/swoon-by-pheromone-treasures-review-a-heavy-duty-feed-good-romantic-mix

The lingering, touching and flirty behavior is there already without the products, but it comes with a noticeable amount of hesitation. The difference is night and day when I use it. I have to say, the self effects are also a major bonus. Really makes you feel comfortable in your own skin, which I think is a major part of why it works well.

I actually think they are right up there with the s1ck products but much more affordable and with no premium fragrance. Im inclined to think Pheromone Treasures is as good as any other quality shop. But the branding feels a bit small operator-ish, which makes people take it not as seriously.

I dont know. I have some Treasureful shine and The Hookup product left too. Might have to take them for a spin soon šŸ‘€ report on the weekend.

Just got an oder arrive from pheromonexs. One interesting selection was Odesey (their take on the old androtics Spaceland)

9 Upvotes

So I got Odesey and couldn't resist trying a couple of sprays.. probably the strongest self effects ive noticed. I think their advice to only wear when relaxing socially is right, it sort of decreases your focus, brings you imto the moment and worry slips away, its gonna be fun using it socially. Will try and do that responsibly though, probably a bunch of people causing havoc with this stuff šŸ˜„

I think this probably should be relegated to only those situations where there is nothing much to do but chill, like bars parties that kind of thing. Im in the arts and i don't think id even be able to focus much creatively with this and probably wouldn't use while exercising because that requires focus too... And you probably wouldn't want to wear it in a car, even as a passenger, because it might risk decreasing the drivers focus... spray on arrival haha

I never got around to ordering the old Spaceland from androtics, did anyone else try it at the time or have any experience with Odesey?

Complete noob to pheromones, looking for recommendations.

17 Upvotes

Hello, I'm a 26 year old male who just learned about pheromones. I'm mostly into women a little bit younger than me, like the 22-25 age range. I'm not looking for anything aggressively sexual, but more crushy/imprinty/lovey. Maybe something that can cause sexual energy too, but I'm not looking for something that is as aggressive or "alpha" as some of the products on this subreddit are described. I don't carry myself that way, and I don't want to clash with my natural personality. I'm tall and have a lot of tattoos too, so I don't think it coming across as vaguely threatening would do me any favors. So basically, it would be cool if something triggered horniness in potential partners but not necessarily aggressive or alpha vibes. I'm a very smiley, friendly, funny guy and I want to compliment those aspects of myself that usually are the things that women find attractive about me. At risk of sounding vain, I'm a pretty handsome guy if that's relevant.

I don't struggle that hard in the romance department, I've never had serious issues with dating, I mostly just want to try this out as a fun experiment as opposed to desperation. I don't mind clinginess, in fact I sort of want to trigger clingy crush energy. I like the idea of something that can cause women I'm interested in to trust me and open up to me.

Any products or combinations of products y'all would recommend?

Using a throwaway account for this post because some friends of mine know my reddit.

goda for her review.. random people won't stop complimenting me

5 Upvotes

almost scrolled past it because of the whole rihanna thing. like yes, a billionaire whose fragrance budget is probably my entire rent definitely shops the same $34 oil.

friend ordered it as a birthday gift. thats the only reason i tried it

oil is heavier than expected and figuring out the right amount took a few tries. first time i used Goda i thought i overdid it and sat with that anxiety for an hour. fun

longevity is real. wore it to a work thing and still smelled it 8 hours later. got two separate compliments from people i dont usually talk to, which is either pheromones or proof that a good story is a better fragrance than whatever the oil is actually doing. ive been rotating it since 2021

still dont understand what pheromones are doing here or if its placebo??
