Hi All, My friend and co-worker is intrigued by pheromones and wants to experiment with some product. I promised I’d come up and ask some advice (he’s travelling on business at the moment). We have a big industry event coming up in about 3 weeks. A solid week of non-stop meetings, interviews on camera, selling product and being upbeat. So he needs to project a capable, very personable image. Based on your posts here, I was thinking of recommending A314 and [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) during the day. However, we work in the video game industry which is almost entirely male. So I want to make sure that whatever he wears isn’t off-putting to the men around him - that would be disastrous. Then in the evenings, we have tons of dinners, receptions, etc. Here you tend to get a few more women involved, however the male - female ratio being what it is, there’s quite a bit of competition. I’m guessing he’d want something a bit different for the evenings - but I have no idea what… I’d be grateful if you could make some recommendations, and also provide any warnings about dosage. This is too high profile an event for him to make a major social blunder. Thanks in advance! ---

I think your choices are spot on. For evening, he could add some IFM. Just stay away from the ~none products, in this case. (Though he might want to take along some TUTH in case he gets “lucky” 😃) ---

The ~none products have an affect on males, right? So it could make things more tense around them? (probably okay in other situations, but not so good here). My friend is also an incredibly outgoing guy. Everyone knows him, hangs with him - life of the party type. But while he’s confident and outgoing, he is sometimes shy about his appearance (gained some weight working crazy hours). He can walk up and talk to anyone, which is why we throw him into these media events. But it would be nice to find something that balances from “I’m a cool friend to hang around” to “hmm, I might want to go out with him” - from the ladies perspective. ---

A314 and Shine sound okay to me for the day wear. I might opt for something like Ammunition for the night wear. “Masculine” androstenone but well buffered/balanced. TUTH may be a little too much. A314 has a rep for lasting a long time per application so some applied in the AM may still be cooking a little in the PM. Of course at a video game confrence I suppose there’s always Spaceland…
