Hello!
I stumbled on this site googling pheromones after a lengthy gap of absence having first learned of them over ten years ago. Back in that day, information was scant, and the only real experience I’d had with them was due to a womens perfume that was, as I recall, pricey and supposed to make you feel more self-assured, and thus.
The thing was, it did. Mind you, I’m something of a mystical cynic. A quasi-scientific revolutionary wannabe, I am easily fascinated by aspects of existence that are fringe, things that in this time present themselves as a sort of magic, but ten years from now, may be an accepted norm that all people employ.
I’m a woman of a certain age, physically located in IL with a tendency to travel A LOT, semi-attractive with no real problems attracting the opposite sex. I tend towards a certain shyness at times, though, more a tangle of internal turmoil that just won’t let go so I can. I think too much, and am not a small talk sort of girl. I long to radiate my inner beingness more, to exude confidence, to feel great in my skin.
I have a background in aromatherapy, and understand the significance of the signature of certain scents, and their ability to dramatically impact consciousness (lavender, as example). Scent is one of the most underrated of scents, and something that enters our consciousness almost immediately from birth. There are implications to that interexchange of hormones and our sensual perception of them that cannot be denied.
But I digress. A friend recently let me try a little of a pheromone-based scent that she had purchased, and there was a..recognition, perhaps? I can’t exactly define it, but it had special running all through it. Not in the standard sense (scents?) of smell, but something other. We got to talking about it, and she felt the same way and noted that when she wore it, she definitely received more attention. Subtle, but her tips would increase (she’s a waitress). Little things.
Little did I know that the field would have expanded so exponentially in the time I’ve been gone! I suspect I have a lot of catching up to do, but I am seriously fascinated - this is a far cry from the glossy ads in cheap magazines that I had associated with phermonology.
So now I’m piqued, and anxious to get started. I’m not so much looking for instantaneous sexual attraction, but more the inward evidence of that something extra, the edge, as it were. I would ultimately like the equivalent of an opiate in scent form. Something that just makes you feel good when you wear it, like on those nights when everything just goes right.
I’d also really like something that inspires. I’m creative and wondering whether there are any formulations for artistic types?
I’d love to hear from artists or writers who have stumbled onto that perfect thing. Where do I start?
