I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone here and say that I’ve been following this site for some time but finally made the move to sign up and join.
I’ve been fascinated with pheromones ever since I learned that the strongest emotional responses are evoked by smells. I have this cologne that my brother gave me before my whole family went on a European vacation several years back. Now, it isn’t anything expensive nor does it have the best scent I’ve ever tried but it was a nice gesture on his part and I’ll never forget it. While in Europe (Italy specifically), I used this cologne almost daily. Now every time I smell the cologne again (don’t use it daily), I am instantly hit with the most intense and vivid memories of Italy and near euphoric feelings. This drove me to do more research on smells and how they effect our brains.
Our olfactory system is rather fascinating and the fact that smells create more nostalgic moments than sight or touch is mind-blowing to me. Another example would be how a certain perfume has a near immobilizing effect on my entire body. My muscles ‘seize’ and it’s almost impossible for me to move. It is as if I’ve been injected with a muscle relaxer/tranquilizer and get a ridiculous ‘high’. The first time I smelled this perfume was in an art class I was suffering through in college. The girl next to me wore it one day and I about face-planted on the desk. I don’t recall a single word spoken by the teacher that day. I struggled to get up after class and forced myself to ask her what it was that she was wearing. This little pink perfume is called ‘Chance: Eau Tendre’ by Channel. Women: wear this and you’ll never need any pheromones to attract guys…not that you need pheromones in the first place (;
Well I had to know the name in case I ever got a girlfriend, right? Years later, I met my current gf (coming up on two years now). I found out not too long into our relationship that this perfume has been her favorite since high school (what luck on my part huh?!). I plan to buy it again for her soon but we are both financially tight at the moment and this perfume isn’t cheap. A decent sized bottle is $105.
Anyways, I swear they put pheromones in this. Other guys claim to really like it but I don’t know how many have the same ‘full-bodied’ reaction I do. I know a lot of smells are individual (everyone smells slightly different with any specific cologne/perfume on) and every person smells scents differently.
Well I’m looking to ‘return the favor’ for my gf and find a really good cologne and pheromone to add or just a pre-made combo cologne/pheromone.
So all this being said, I wanted to get the honest opinions of others who know more and have more experience with pheromones. Guys and gals, what do you recommend from the store here? I want a good one that will not only be pleasing/attracting but also sexually arousing. Again, whether it’s a pheromone you add to cologne or a pre-made mixture of the two, I’m impartial. Whatever works, works. I’m open to your ‘top two’ if you think mixing/rotating pheromone usage is smart. This is all new turf to me.
Thanks a million and looking forward to continuing reading your posts and having great conversations with you all ![]()
Best,
