Hi All,
So after seeing the banner ad on basenotes.com for a while, I’m ready to give this pheromone concept a chance. My question though is this:
Obviously I’m into cologne (being a regular on basenotes). Are there any pheromones out there that are unscented? I don’t want to alter any fragrance I am already wearing. I’m quite interested in “Turn Up the Heat”, since people on these boards seem to combine it with just about everything. But, how will this affect the non-pheromone fragrance I am already wearing for the evening? Are there any better alternatives I should be considering?
thanks
Hello there…whereabouts in Jersey are you?
I’m fairly new myself, but from what i can tell, a non-pheromone fragrance can usually complement a pheromone product well, acting as a “cover scent”, as well as a dispersal aid. On top of that, there are plenty of “unscented” products around here (i don’t think there is technically a completely unscented item, but perhaps more “natural” smelling, not quite like cologne). I personally went with Ammunition over Turn Up The Heat because the latter seems (to me anyway) to be more of a “second encounter” product, or for situations where you already know the person a bit and want to step up to the next level. Ammunition is a more general purpose item for meeting people and the like.
I’ll leave someone more experienced to give you better-quality recommendations, but why don’t you tell us what you’re looking for, where you plan to use pheromones, and a bit more about yourself 
I did read about ammuntion. The description says that it’s supposed to smell like Cool Water. I think that this would do major damage to any scent I am already wearing, so I’m discouraged by it.
My main use is the same as most other guys out there: to get that edge in the bar and on a date. Hence I’m thinking that Turn Up the Heat combined with whatever scent I’m already wearing, usually Creed’s Green Irish Tweed, will do the job.
thoughts?
All pheromones have a “scent.” When they say “unscented” they mean there are no added scents. From what I understand just about any pheromone product will alter the “feel” of the coverscent somewhat, some more than others, and it can depend on the cover scent product as well.
I also understand some people can’t detect pheromone scents very well while other people can, so it’s kinda up in the air so to speak what the end results will be.
Plus with some of the Androtics products you can request “uncented” or one of a variety of scent “packages.” The administrators here can fill you in on the details.
I think the biggest “selling point” with Androtics products is the consistency of the end product. Once you find a workable combo you can reorder with confidence knowing that they don’t change the scent packages without notice (which I hear happens with other companies products), although it probably won’t hurt to always specify exactly what you want in the “notes” section of the order page(s) or mention if you call in your order.
Hey there, JerseyGuy
Welcome to our forum!
Ooh… a Green Irish Tweed man. I love that fragrance for the, oh, hour it is around. It dissipates fast, doesn’t it? It does on my man, anyway. If you like those fresh green notes, you might want to check out our PheroGame cologne, which has a similar base and a kickin’ sillage.
You bring up an interesting point that I just have to test, so excuse me while I run off to my bathroom to spritz on Green Irish Tweed and Turn up the Heat together to see how they blend…
five minutes later
even five minutes later, waiting for drydown
Awesome. I was worried that the TUTH spiciness would render this overwhelming… I’ll know better as it ages in an hour. Now lets just hope everyone in the house doesn’t freak out at me for having too intense a pheromone mix for a lady…
You’re welcome to replicate this experiment when you redeem your gift cert for some TUTH. I wonder if it will develop nice on you?
Anywho.. Welcome to the forum, Jersey! Your gift certificate will be in your inbox any moment now.
bump how did it age, Jasmin??
I doubt that the pheros will conflict with the fragrance – but my nose isn’t as competent as some.
Turn Up The Heat does go with a lot of stuff – it’s dosed -none, so you can apply just enough and not overdose.
But you might want to keep exploring the field of possibles – TUTH is just one tool in the kit.
Hey MarkL &Co,
Usually Green Irish Tweed flits away after about an hours or so on skin. The TUTH extended it a little bit. I supose some of the Androstenone bound with some of the heavier scent molecules of the GIT and sat on my skin for a while. 8 hours later, I could still smell traces of the Androstenone.
Scentwise, it blended gracefully… Overpowering at first, but after it dried down a bit it was nothin’ but sexy.
