Lately I wear IS/A some shine and a shot or 2 of TAL and TAH to work. This is the mix I tend to wear most although I will change it if I am testing something. I cover with Peach suger or Pink suger.
It has been driving this one man I work with nuts he is always sniffing me and getting in my space. He just adores Peach Suger so a few weeks ago he gave me some money and asked me to buy him some of the oils from elementals for his wife. At the time I thought this was sweet. I was like sure and ordered them and gave them to him the beginning of last week. Today he’s sitting there grinning at me at work. It was a no pheromone day for me. So I grin back and ask him how his wife liked the oils. He says she loved them. Then he says she puts them on every night before bed and he lays there and thinks about me. Mones or PS.
Now that’s funny but he’s rather pathetic. Feelings happen between coworkers all the time but are best unexpressed as they can only lead to increased tension (or lots of trouble!). I used to wear The Edge to work everyday and had two students and a professor venturer into similar territory and beyond–all 3 were married. I was flattered and entertained to hear they were having fantasies about me while having sex. But I was sure as hell surprised they told me about it! Sheesh, I have all sorts of fantasies but have never uttered a word to those involved. Alas, it was probably my fault. The thoughts were on the tips of their tongues and my teasing with The Edge drove them off the edge. Actually I think they were rather shocked they let it slip. Anyway, once you turn that corner, there’s no going back.
I don’t wear TE very often anymore. Too dangerous.
That the weird thing Gegogi. If I was wearing IH or even IO I would have not been so creeped out when he told me. I didnt have any mones on or peach suger when he said this.
I know in the mens section they have talked about remembering peoples mone signature when they are not around but I still found it weird.
Perhaps exposure to pheromone signatures over a period of time has the potential to influence a person’s conceptual/emotional model of the wearer. This is obvious when first meeting a person, as they have no pre-existing model. We sometimes think they don’t work on people we already know, because they don’t show such dramatic effects. However, this is probably more due to the fact that they already have a model of the wearer. That model can be chipped away at and slowly influenced to change through the use of pheromones though.
After the change in a mental model has occurred it is not surprising that the behaviors continue even when you’re not wearing artificial pheromones. What would be really unusual is if the models that change slowly instantly snapped back to a previous state when you didn’t wear pheromones.
We should be careful how we steer others’ impressions of ourselves, because we could be dealing with the consequences for a long time.
Am I the only one who thinks this guy is being creepy and inappropriate? Regardless of what pheros Tisha is wearing, we all know that pheros can’t create something out of absolutely nothing - they can’t MAKE someone behave outrageously. There is a conscious decision and free will involved here - and even given all that, it’s not as if she is wearing ten tons of cops!
A few years ago a guy I knew asked me what perfume I was wearing as he wanted to get some for his wife. I didn’t tell him because I didn’t want him associating me with his wife or his wife with me. There were no pheros involved I just thought it was a bit weird. I just changed the subject.
Tisha? How long have you worked with this guy? He’s being mighty pushy considering this is a work situation.
May, but this is so common? Women have asked me few times what cologne I am wearing so they can buy it for their bfs. I never thought it was weird in any way.
To me, it’s a bit of a problem because I know how strongly we associate smells with events and people.
Women (and men) often know this and use it by wearing a “signature” fragrance. This is a good technique because each time someone who knows you and is frequently in your presence smells that fragrance elsewhere they think of you. If you want to do this, chose a perfume you like that some others do wear but is not the biggest seller of the day (as target may have a previous memory attached to anything wildly common) then every time they encounter someone wearing it they will think of you.
I know this works because it still happens to me. I smell Aramis Devin and I still instantly think of my boyfriend from eighteen years ago! For years if I got a whiff of a certain type of Lynx body spray I remembered John - but they have discontinued that one now!
It’s not a problem if a stranger asks. But if someone who knows you well wants to buy a perfume they associate very strongly with you for their other its a bit psychologically wobbly if you ask me.
For example, Tisha has been wearing the Peach Sugar and Pink Sugar to work for ages, she has posted here about how much people comment on it and fellow workers come over just to “sniff” her.
That’s a mighty strong association. When his wife first starts using it he will be frequently reminded of Tisha. After a while he will - as he is with her more often and more intimately - begin to associate the fragrance with his wife and every time he smell it on Tisha his mind will turn to his wife - which could be a problem.
The sense of smell is really linked to emotions. Hence if I smell - and it is rare now “Chantilly” I always think of my mother - who only wore it when I was very small. But I get not just the memory but the feeling of security that goes with that etc.
That’s why I am wary of my male friends wanting to buy things they associate strongly with me - esp personal things like perfume which is an intimate item - for their partners.
The whole scenario is a bit bloomin’ creepy. I think you might need to gently but firmly clip his wings a bit if he does anything like that again Tisha.
I was reading this, and agree that this guy is being creepy . I hate when the wrong person picks up on the pheros I’m wearing. I think that you should go with you gut instincts Tisha
I used to wear Aramis Devin and still have a bottle tucked away! I wear it once in a while when I’m feeling nostalgic or vintage 80s.
Women ask me regularly what scent I’m wearing so they can buy it for their BF or hubby. One of my above mentioned stalkers bought Burberry Weekend for her hubby because I wear it. A cocktail waitress sniffed me last week while I was with a date and demanded to know what cologne I was wearing. OF course it was spiked with all sorts of pheromones…
I agree your coworker is a bit creepy, not for having the thoughts–we all have them–but for revealing something best kept to himself. He lacks basic common sense. Of course, most men, in the presence of an attractive female, have been known to exhibit impaired brain function and hence reduced judgment skills.
I also think the situation is creepy, but if it were just the request of the name, even if it were to purchase it for a significant other, I wouldn’t find it odd. I think by itself it’s not an odd request, but of course coupled with everything else it’s obvious what his intention was. shudder
We have worked in the same office for about 2 years. Today he didnt say much of anything which was fine by me.
May my office is made of of mostly males. There are a few ladies but not many. Its a very open enviroment, meaning the men tend to go over the top alot. Not to the extent that I would call it sexual harrassment or anything. Most of the ladies learn to spare with the guys early on in the job. If he gets out of hand, I will nip it in the bud. The good thing about working with so many guys is that its like having 60 brothers. You meet alot of weird people delivering mail. Alot of customers cross the line especially with the female carriers. People tend to think its fun to anwser the door naked once in a while or follow you around your route and one of the guys will always step up and take care of it.
I did tell my BMF and then I saw him outside when we were checking our trucks talking to him. Could be why he didnt say anything to me today. I didnt tell my husband because he would probably be sitting in the parking lot waiting for him.
If he asked because he just liked the scent then I am not to freaked by it but if his intention was because he associated the scent with me then thats just creepy. I mean it would be different if a your SO wanted to do that but not just some guy you work with.
I have tons of scents and am going to wear different ones for a while. Hopefully he will begin to associate it with his wife more. I have met her a few times and she is such a sweet person. He dosnt seem to be having any marriage problems. You can usually tell which ones are because they come in and bitch about there wives to the other guys while there working.
Interesting. Pulled this up while searching. My husband has been reacting to just Pink Sugar. I wore it excessively while first testing Androtics products, so much so that I was sick of the scent and took a break. He now reacts to it as if I have paired it with heavy cops and tah while I am wearing it. The perfume has definitely been imprinted in a sexual nature.
He’s been fine, nothing creepy from him and we still talk almost everyday. His wife is still enjoying the Peach Suger. I think he knew he kinda creeped me out and felt bad about it.
A few more people asked for Peach Suger and they do asscociate the smell with me and one of them said somethng simular to me after he got his order. Frankly I think it has more to do with the actual scent then me, its just that I was wearing it all the time so they think of me when they smell it. Its really is just amazing and I have worn alot of different scents but this is the first one I have seen so many reactions to. If I didnt know better I would think Elementals was putting pheromones in there products LOL.
I have been wearing different scents lately and I also gave Pink suger a rest. I am waiting for my new fall scents to come in. Alot of Pumpkin spice and spiced apples type scents.

Tisha I work in an environment that is very “male” even with more women in it, and this has happened to me too, with somebody I know adores his wife. I think the pheros just let the loose thought blurt out sometimes. My big problem with him is that when that doesn’t happen, he can be horrendously mean to me, like I make him angry, probably because he feels guilty. But there was a problem prior to pheros too - so I agree, what’s there is there, it’s just usually best if nobody has to acknowledge it.
I got the Peach Sugar and it smelled like playdough on me - I don’t like it at all, I wish I had your results with it. But Elementals is my hands-down fave of them all - I gave up on Love Potions too, as for whatever reason the samples I got smelled a lot better - and different - than the full-size version. Although some of them were great, they are much more expensive. And MMU just takes too long. I just ordered some of the fall spicy sugar blends and can’t wait. I adore their Pink Amber and I have had many a female checkout cashier keep the line waiting for me to pull the bottle out of my purse and show them what it is and tell them where to get it. Those bottles WILL leak in your purse and then you wave the scent all over the place wherever you go. And a young man the age of my son swooned over “Cookie Dough” and wanted to buy it for his girlfriend, although that was a much more innocent situation. Everybody loves the Cookie Dough, which I find a very comforting smell on a bad day. It cheers others up too.
But yeah, now that you mention it, I have gotten almost as good of hits with Elementals as pheros- although I usually have pheros with them, but not always. I think they definitely have some scents that draw people in close enough to inhale the pheros. I love that company. I know you like to shop online, so you must try Possets out of Cincy, too. Yum.
Your Peach suger smelt like play dough on you (Im sorry ). Mine smells like Peach syrup with a little cotten candy and caramel. I have watermelon suger and that one reminds me a little of playdough.
My mones just work better with her products. Your probably right and they smell so good they take a bigger wiff of you so they are more exposed to them plus the diffusion is amazing. I wore 2 sprays of Instant sexiness A and 1 spray of shine and TAH today with Peach suger and I stopped at dunkin donuts on the way to work. All the cops were in there on there morning break. I have been in before with them there and they are more friendly when I wear mones.
All I got was a coffee and bagel but today with the mones and PS, 2 cops carried it to the car for me. LOL It was so funny. On the way out one of them said “Is that you or the donut that smells so good?” I told him I have a bagel and he just grinned like crazy. Then they both freaked out when they saw my car and practically got in with me. I was like guys your making me late for work and they were like good speed so I can pull you over and get your number. All I could think about was Habi’s list of stupid pick up lines in the mens forum. All I can say is Thank you Ail (Bunny) for turning me on to pink suger or I never would have considered the peach suger. She told me they rock together and she was right.
I am getting ready to place another order soon. Just as soon as I get my halloween scents. I think I will try Pink Amber and maybe the Pink licorice that one has me curious.
I Love MMU but I have no patience, 5 weeks is just to damn long. I still use Love scents and I enjoy her products but your right different batches of the same scent just smell different. I have been wanting to try Possets. What scent do you like there. I have my eye on Haute Love and Epinion.
I have heard good things about her on my other forums so I wanted to try her stuff out.
Elementals of course LOL. Pure Luxe (thats where I get my makeup) 1 doller eye shadow samples and they come in hard containers and last forever. You hardly need to buy a big size.
And Bath & Infused but that order is for a birthday present for my friend.
Maybe I should try the peach sug and pink together? I am so jealous, I love peach too, maybe I just got an off batch? I just placed another order. The Amor de Cacao knocks me off my feet. I like the Cookie Dough but it’s effect on other people is even more remarkable. Women and men love it and they seem to want to spoil you and give you things. I had a funny experience with that. I had some on over cops on my wrist and I let some lady smell my wrist. Then I smelled it later and it reeked of cops. I am not that sensitive to the smell and I thought it stunk. She didn’t, though, although maybe she was too polite to say so. I was so embarassed. Everybody was loving the way I smelled that day, though, lol.
Yes, Haute Love is yummy, my favorite so far. Possets really has some unique scents. I love that chocolate/ginger smell. And I love her site, and the artistry of it all. I have only tried the samples and they were all gorgeous. You must indulge and tell me what you think.
Regardless of what pheros Tisha is wearing, we all know that pheros can’t create something out of absolutely nothing - they can’t MAKE someone behave outrageously. There is a conscious decision and free will involved here - and even given all that, it’s not as if she is wearing ten tons of cops!
