Hi, I ordered some pheros from another supplier (xist + cohesion) and got them both unscented, which I heard was less effective. Is an easy fix just to add some cologne to the bottles? ---

Fairly easy to fix - if its sprays, you can layer and spray a cover with no problems, or if oils, you apply and spray the cover near by. With oils, you can also mix-in a few drops of cologne, which is probably the more effective for them. ---

I don’t wear cologne or perfume when I’m wearing my pheros because I always think one of the many ingredients in colognes might degrade them or minimize their effects. Am I being too paranoid? Also, can applying cologne on the same spot where one has applied pheros several hours before somehow ‘reactivate’ or increase diffusion? ---

It can, yes but pheros on your skin may have degraded to something else unsuitable. Similarly, this is why topups often involve far smaller doses than the original mix. Yes, some colognes/cosmetic products do contain compounds detrimental to pheros - Mainly cheap-shit stuff laden with triclosan or similar antibacterials but better colognes containing certain essential oils can too - Notably Sandalwood, Cedarwood and other such essential oils with antibacterial properties - all are death to pheros. Better quality colognes are generally much less of a risk. 🙂 ---

So basically, I should be fine as long as there’s no physical contact between the two like if I just spray the cologne on my clothes? ---

Hi Treehugger, just spray cologne on yourself on a different spot than the mones, or on your clothes will be fine. A little “good” cologne covers the AD mones adequately. You may (will) need more than one spray to cover the XS mones. ---

My opinion, order a 30ml of 20% strength neroli scented, 200 proof organic alcohol. Then you only have to add a small amount to make it scented. Also get an empty AD sprayer to pour the mix into Get a 1 and/or 5 ml syringe to measure with. A scented product will diffuse better than unscented. The better it diffuses the better effects you will see Spraying a layer of cologne somewhere else will improve the scent (if you worry about that), but won’t help diffusion
