- In our neverending quest for perfection, we’ve changed the base alcohol used in our spray products to an all organic, ultra premium distillation for 2007.*
Another reminder that this place often does not do things like the other guys. If they can’t make it perfect, they probably won’t. Of course, industrial distillates would be cheaper. Few people would notice. But they choose the costlier route.
Molecule purity really becomes a factor on special occasions. When you get to the atomic level. The affinity of the molecule to bind to receptors. A function of electrical charge. Attraction/repulsion. The ability of the (anhydrous) molecule to form a soluble complex at the receptor.
Don’t use water. Use the highest PA from the best source. Closest to 200 proof lab distallation/pure analyte you can get. Since there is always some commercial competitor that like to “borrow” every damned idea, putative and trademark that isn’t nailed down, I can’t be as open as I would like.
Some other website says they know what P96 is. Really, by what commercial espionage? I’ve tested it 6 mos. The results are > 90% consistent for me. The results equal a medical research compound, the product of decades of research by Big Pharma. Lots of money. Nothing else does what that class of molecule does. It doesn’t look at all like these:

I regret the trend in pheromones is toward serecy. “Join the club and test in the secret forum. Don’t learn how to make your own things. Buy from me. I am the cult master.” Some websites out there look like pheromone cults. Right down to using SmartMones trademarks without permission! Anyway, I will try to give you some ideas to test, and your own brains will take you to your own conclusions. Just some things I won’t talk about, to protect the innocent from the guilty in the wicked world of pheromone commerce.
Take whatever you have and try plain 80-proof vodka vs. PA. You should be able to make your own observations empircally. You should just see it without me saying what you see.
Post Script: If you work at it, you can make your own stealth-type diffusion or “pack” lots of mones into .5 mL. It gets $$$ due to lots of mones. To go full tilt takes a formulary lab and concentrates. But, counterintuitively, you get less scent, incredible effects, good longevity and improved diffusion. Scent goes down but effects go up. It just costs mega bucks to use that much mones.
Honestly, though, Vanadium, you have no idea how many times I’ve nearly quit this board over some post with 5K rep points who doesn’t know what a damned polar molecule is. And doesn’t want to learn. So, you get credit for being accurate here. Look at this. You should be able to see straight away the error in the article. But we have “professional” pheromone vendors that can’t do high school chem nomenclature. Too many ego-driven cult heros and too few men and women of science.

OK. Skills test. Don’t reply Vanadium. Let’s wait until next week. Someone post the basic error they see in the Wiki article. Note that in 2012, one of the top pheromone vendors missed it. For the sake of his own ego, I won’t embarass him.
