Hey dude, when I first started reading this board, I felt the same way. I had preconceived expectations of what pheros could do for me. I’ll admit, my first time using them I had hits of grandeur, but I was very scientific and methodical about the number and location of sprays and drops. I made sure to use a neutral scented soap while I showered and began from a “blank slate.” Once I had a clue of how to spray, rub, etc, I got some soap that would complement the scents created by mixing the solutions together. If you’re cognizant about the way you apply your pheros and project through your demeanor what you want to achieve during the day, just go through your day and the pheros will enhance it. Just keep in mind - the pheros are merely an enhancement to your personality and others’ perception of it. A great post by galydrum really helped me, you should check it out! Bon chance!
