Hello guys 😃 Just dropping by to say hello to everyone. I am currently a novice pheromone user who has yet to see much of a difference with using pheromones. I am 21 years old, male, filipino and european mix, athletic body with a height of 5’7". I dress in a dressy punker style, have facial piercings and tattoes, and overall calm collected personality. I give off the vibe (or so I have heard) of the shy mysterious, artistic type. Currently a senior in college, living in beautiful San Diego, and lately have not been getting a lot of friendly interactions with both sexes, girls are intimidated by my looks, and guys treat me like im some kid of A\*\*hole. So far I have tried using SOE, Pherlure, NPA, The Edge, and used the Chikara Gel packs. From what I have noticed, Pherlure has not worked for me, SOE has a little bit, while the rest has had some, though not many, effects. What I am looking for is a social ice breaker pheromone, which I had bought SOE for, but that has worked only once in a while. I am looking for something more consistent rather than a hit or a miss. I am also a current member of of the love scent forums and have yet to find the perfect pheromone to make me more approachable, not only to females but everyone in general. I found this forum after searching for A314, which is no longer sold in L.S., and accidently finding this site. In all, I am looking for consistency rather than just random hits. Anyways, first question is that what do you guys think about some of the currently mones that I own(TE, SOE, Pherlure, NPA, Chikara), and has anyone had any obvious results with them? And please be honest, I really want to know if anyone had experience with these. Second question is that for my situation, would you recommend something like A314 or I.O. Right now im thinking bout I.O. to help me break the ice with potential friends. Anyways, tell me what you guys think. And please be honest! If the stuff I have right now are just so and so, then tell me so I can move on to better stuff. Hope to hear from you guys, peace! -D.R.🙂 Currently Owned: SOE, Chikara Gel Packs, NPA, TE, Pherlure (This really shouldn’t count) SOE - Has a mood lightening effect and some hits, however it is not consistent Chikara - Has had a couple of obvious hits, but also inconsistent NPA, TE - Tried a few times, all I had was a couple stares, people seemed figety. Pherlure - Ummm.. it smells good i guess lol. Planned to Own: [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/), Instant Shine, Instant Openness, Instant Honestly Planned to Try Out: Spaceland, A314. Anyone else can think of experimental fun mones i can just mess around with? Testing Method: Use mostly my art classes as a testing area, its alot more controllable than a club or a party. Alot of social interactions, so the effectiveness of mones should be easy to tell in these situations. I use a specific mone one at a time for every art class for two weeks, record observations. Add a second mone for the two weeks after, record observations. Repeat process, making sure to take a break between each trial, to see how people change when not using the mones. I do not field test in clubs or overly large parties. These things get way too crowded and hectic for me to really observe behavioral changes. Not to mention im probably drunk along with everyone else lol. Observations would be very hard at this point. Anyways, tell me what you think, any ideas for testing? ---

Welcome to the forum!! I too have Love Scent pheros and do not find them as effective as the ones from this site. I’m not experienced enough to help you, the experts will post as soon as they see this, but from what I’ve seen, they’ll probably recommend TUTH and AMMO to start. I know Instant Shine works wonders for making people feel great and Instant Honesty and [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) are great for either sex to talk to you. I hope you get the answers you need and give it a good college try (no pun intended) because I feel they really do work. It’s pretty funny seeing the results too!! Keep us posted! ---

Heya, Welcome to these here forums! Though I haven’t tried it, many say that Pherlure is a scam - and only few on here have gotten results. But that’s just what I’ve gathered from reading about them. As for the other products - there are people here who order from LS - but it’s usually just one or two products. I, personally, haven’t yet. I’ve got my hands full with all these Androtics products 🙂 As for your approachability - I’d shy away from a314 for now. Although it increases dominance and status - it can make people sometimes think twice before approaching you (if you give off that kind of vibe). I, myself, don’t have that much luck with IO (people are usually quite open to me without [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/), so it’s kind of redundant). My mix of choice is IG + ISHINE. ISHINE is great, as it gives you confidence, and makes you happier. It also makes those around you more attracted to those qualities, and could influence them by making them a bit more cheery. IG is very underrated but very good. It’ll make you feel smooth and confident. When I wear it I find that others tend to be more likely to pay attention to me and laugh at jokes I make. Generally they become more open to the concept of me 🙂 I can’t speak too much for IO (based on my own experience - I do know that it works for quite a few people though!), but maybe someone else who has been more successful might be able to come along and enlighten you a bit 🙂 ---

Generally they become more open to the concept of me 🙂 > … This is very good advice from leafstamp, especially if you want to keep the punker appearance. IG will project a warm, non-threatening masculine vibe. Anone products like tuth, NPA, and most other commercially marketed products will make the scarriness and agression worse. ---

Hmm.. ok i kinda get the idea a bit. From what you guys have been saying imma go ahead and give I.G. and I.S a try using the to go packs. Try it out for a few weeks, and maybe then try out I.O. and I.H. These two sound like -nol based mones from what Ive been reading, which is actually what I am aiming for. Hopefully these two just don’t end up being a disappointment like SOE and Chikara, while to me has had some results, the lack of consistency has been putting me off to buy more. Anyways, imma go ahead and keep posted, thanks guys for the help. Peace D.R. ---

Be sure to let us know how it works out for you! ---

Welcome aboard, another San Diegan here. A lot of people here also purchase from Love-Scent, I’m even a Mod over there. JV Kohl, the inventor of Sent of Eros is a regular poster here. While you are waiting for your order from here, you might try mixing (on your body) SoE:NPA at a 7:3 ratio, it’s called “DD#1” named after the poster at LS who invented it ( **D** onald **D** uck), If you substitute The Edge for NPA same ratio you have “DD Lite”. I’ve never had any luck with Chikara, and I was one of the beta testers for it. You just have to be careful with the none products (NPA, The Edge), as at your age you are producing lots already. I agree IO, IJ and IS would be a good beginning for you. One thing to keep in mind is the effects of mones are subtle and only add to the “you”, sort of like getting a hair cut or a new shirt, they won’t make women fall from the ceiling and beg to be humped by you.🙄 ---

thanks for the help guys. I actually use the DD Lite and works for me sometimes. I have tried using NPA (came with the SOE Combo) instead of TE and it was not fun at all. The smell is pretty horrible for me and and even just using two drops it gave me the Clint Eastwood effect. But anyways, TE (1-2 dabs) and SOE (12-16in) are currently my staple. I like them, but i wanna try other things for a bit. Just ordered I.S. and I.G. and I’m gonna be testing each of them separately for a week each, and them test them together afterward. Week 1 (4 days): IG (1 spray to neck) Week 2 (4 days): IG (1 spray to neck) IS (1 spray to neck) Week 3 (4 days): IG (1 spray to neck) IS (1 spray to neck) SOE (10in Forearms) Ill be updating the results from the following weeks in about a month. PS. I don’t why I you guys call it “field research”, that makes it sound like a chore. Its more like going out and having fun. In other words, i love the research part lol.
