Howzsit!? So from my understanding, coffee beans are used to refresh your sense of smell when testing Colognes, right? That’s why I see little salt & pepper jars of coffee beans at department stores everywhere next to their cologne/fragrance section. Anyway, So I’m a newbie and looking forward to my first order through AD today. 🙂 But I’m in a Coffee Bean Tea and Leaf on my laptop when the question hit me that, is it possible for the aroma of coffee beans to affect strength of [pheromone colognes](https://a314.com/shop/)? 😕 As it does with your smell in regards to standard colognes? Are coffee shops not a good location to test 😕 Any feedback? Comments? Mahaloz, \m/ Kaleiapuno \m/ ---

I test almost exclusively in coffee shops whenever I’m trying something new. They are fantastic ---

> [@Steve](#): > > I test almost exclusively in coffee shops whenever I’m trying something new. They are fantastic SteveO, I appreciate that feedback. So no problems whatsoever in coffee shops, even ones that have very strong C.Bean aroma!? For example I can walk out of this coffee shop stinking of coffee for a good hour. It’s in the clothes and hair, everywhere…☹ Being that I am a newbie, I guess I’m concerned that this is a battle ground of different types of odor and smells, I probably have it wrong and that phero’s work in a much more scientific process. :o Any feedback? Comments? Mahalo, Ray aka Kaleiapuno \m/ ---

High doses of caffeine seem to enhance the effects of IH and IO. However, Jack Daniels goes better with NPA and TUTH, so choose your poison with care. ---

Nope never had any non-reaction in any coffee shop. I know the barista’s so I know how they react. The customers are social. All around great place to test ---

> [@Steve](#): > > Nope never had any non-reaction in any coffee shop. I know the barista’s so I know how they react. The customers are social. All around great place to test I am also testing in coffee shops and I do have perceived a lot of reactions. Indeed, there are more clear in a coffee shop so far compared to dancing bars for example. However, I got to your post as I wonder if caffeine intake affects how we react to [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/). I sense so far that my experience with AMMO and A314 make me already hyper so if we add caffeine in the blood stream, would this have an effect? Maybe Steve can share some wisdom on the above. ---

High caffeine doses in the blood stream of the person wearing them or in those around? [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) was pure magic for me in coffee shops last week… ---

You may be onto something! Caffeine is added to medications to enhance uptake of the drug. Might be adding the same way with pheromones? Sounds like a lab needs to get busy testing.
