I am a new pheromone user and also a super analytical scientist at heart. As I was spraying myself with TUTH on the chest for the first time, I started to wonder if there is an ideal distance from which to have the nozzle relative to my skin.
So really, the question is this: “has there been any evidence to suggest that the same amount of pheromones in a small surface area is more effective than that same amount over a larger surface area?” or vice versa…
I attempted to test this a while ago, but the other variables involved made it impossible. Essentially you would need to have replicating conditions for each and every test. I like to frequent clubs and bars, so it wouldn’t be feasible to expect the same results anyway.
If you have a way to conduct an experiment as “a super analytical scientist at heart” than have at it and let us know how it works out. I’d be curious what you discover.
I don’t think we have the equipment to be able to test this sort of thing properly to be honest. This one is not for the backyard scientist.
As you mentioned, you’d need environment control. That means regulated temperature and pressure. You’d also need a reliable way to replicate the force applied to the nozzle, because a different force would create a different dispersion pattern. Even better would be to take the nozzle out of the equation altogether so that you eliminate any potential imperfections. You’d also need to have some type of sensors that can be tuned to detect the presence of certain molecules, specifically the pheromones. Then you’d probably want to place those sensors at equal distances in a spherical / radial pattern so that you can measure molecule density over time at different distances.
Once you can do that, then you can correlate the target radius (the circle formed by the spray onto your test surface, which changes as you change your “nozzle” to skin distance) to your pheromone cloud radius / density. Once you have that, then you can start to play around with how temperature and other environmental factors affect your pheromone cloud.
This doesn’t even take into consideration any biochemical interaction between your skin and the pheromones.
As I’m writing this, I’m thinking a little bit more… lets pretend we’re talking about a spray of vinegar onto your countertop. If you were to spray the same volume of vinegar over a small and large surface area, common sense (not always correct) would lead you to conclude that in the small surface area test you’d only be able to smell the vinegar if your nose is within a relatively small radius of your the counterop, however that smell would be rather strong. Whereas in the large surface area test, you’d be able to smell a not so strong scent but from a greater radial distance.
Common sense would have it then that spray close to skin when your target is close so that you have a more dense but smaller pheromone cloud, and spray far from your skin if you want maximize the radius of the cloud at the expense of density.
I’d just like to know if there is any science behind my common sense. Somebody’s gotta know!
By your example of common sense you would then have to take into account the diffusion of the product and whether the larger application points would create the mones to therefore dissipate quicker than a smaller application. This in itself would be a variable that might negate the entire experiment. Also its not the mones you are necessarily smelling as much as the cover scents.
Personally I think its to much work and effort into something that just works and works good. I’m just as happy when I spray some TUTH on my neck in the winter, as opposed to spraying it on my wrists in the summer. I have not noticed any different in results 
.
All the same I’m sure others, who take the scientific aspect more seriously than me, will hopefully come along and share their experiences.
