Hi Jack - Welcome to Pherotalk. 
Yes, there are a variety of products here that could help you but of course they are not the whole story, you do need to demonstrate the appropriate attractive behaviours to back them-up. Then, they work together very, very well! 
Can you remember which product your pal was using?
For starting out, I would suggest you consider Ammo and one or more of the socials.
Ammo is a balanced social/sexy/masculine/confident mix of the three main pheros - Androstenone, Androstenol and Androsterone, which work together with your natural phero production and personality to great effect. You will need to do a bit of testing to find you effective dose, which at your age will probably be quite low because younger guys produce a good bit more androstenone naturally compared to us older guys.
The the socials that you should consider are:
Instant Shine - Which gives a happy/feelgood vibe to your interactions andhelps with its own form of confidence-boosting and steers feelings into good territory. Sorta makes you the centre of attention. IS combined with Ammo is one of the classic attraction mixes.
IO - Promotes flowing conversation and moderates none effectively - Again useful for a young guy as girls around your age can be uncomfortable with a strong/overt none signature.
IH - Deepens conversation and helps bonding. Similar moderating effect on none.
IG - Gives a smooth/suave status feel but light enough to be appropriate with your age.
All the basic info for choosing and using pheros are in this thread - learn it well:
