As a gay man who has been obsessed with fragrances virtually all my life, I am fascinated by this site and this topic. Wow!
What led me here is kinda funny to me. You see, I’ve known about pheremones and their function for quite some time. Anyone remember a cologne called Realm ? I think I first became aware of pheremones when it came on the market. I never bought any, coincidentally, b/c it smelled too much like Old Spice. So disappointing. If only they could have incoporated pheremones into Dolce and Gabbana–or, hell, Tide would have been better than something that smelled like grandpa’s aftershave–I would have been in a rush to get some…
Recently, I noticed that a new Dial for Men contains pheremones, and, liking the scent, I quickly put it in my cart. Now, for all I know, there may be no pheromones in it or possibly they’re some poorly engineered form, but I can tell you this: I love the stuff! And that’s what led me here: I started trying to find other products that contain mones and stumbled across “androtics” in a discussion forum. Now, seriously, it’s almost as if I’ve discovered a topic that’s entirely new to me.
At any rate, one question I have is, when using a particular pheromone product–like Mystery Boy, for instance–is it still ok to wear a favorite cologne spray or oil? In other words, is it possible for certain colognes to clash with particular mone products while others complement them? In addition, I wonder, would a cologne or something similar mask the phermones, rendering them not as effective? I wouldn’t think so, but I’m not sure.
Finally, another question: I live in the south, which is pretty hot and humid. After reading the product descriptions, I’m thinking an oil form of a product would not be my best choice. Am I right about this? I’m not sure, because I use cologne oils frequently and have been very pleased with the results.
Oh, and a little about myself: as I stated at the beginning, I’m gay. Women have always “loved” me, been drawn to me, so I don’t need anything to enhance that. Anything that would help with the guys would be great. I like the sound of Mystery Boy, and it’s definitely one of the first I will try. I’m also very curious about Shine, Ammunition, and–this one’s a no-brainer to me–Heat things up. I want to try the others as well, but these are at the top of my list.
And one more thing: this is my very first posting in any internet forum! Hope I haven’t been too wordy, nerdy, boring or obnoxious. Thanks for reading!
