I’m 28, male, caucasian, tall, skinny and live in Zurich.

I’ve been using pheromones for about a year now. I’m still intrigued (though sceptic), but mostly just fascinated by this particular little subculture. I’ve had my share of good to amazing experiences while wearing pheromones, but nothing that couldn’t be explained by other factors (increased confidence, luck etc.). Even when I had a nice girl sniffing my neck (yeah, forgot to mention, I’m doing this for the ladies), cooing and/or complimenting me on the scent, I was also, well, wearing a nice scent. 😃

I haven’t found a product that produces consistent effects. I have a favourite pheromone product (from another site) which sometimes seems to work quite well, though. The reason I’m joining here: I’ve tried A314, [Instant Female Magic](https://a314.com/product/instant-female-magic/) (both of which did nothing for me) and Instant Shine. While I didn’t notice any effect of IS on other people I use it as a pretty effective moodlifter for myself. Might be a placebo effect, but hell, I don’t care. 😃

As I already mentioned: I pride myself on being a sceptic. That doesn’t mean that I’m not prepared to throw money on promising new products. 🙂 So help me out here: are there other pheromones by Androtics that might have a positive effect on the wearer?

Cheers,

Also: it’s been a while since I used a forum. What’s this “Rep Power” thingie next to my avatar?

Kindly point me to the appropriate part of the FAQ and/or yell “RTFM!”

(People still do that, right?) 🙂

Skeptics are welcome here! Especially when they quote the fab four in their sigs. LOL. Feel free to mention the name of ANY products you like. Just don’t link to competitors.

I’m surprised you didn’t have any effect from the A314 it’s one of my favs, but we are all different. Here are some threads to help you get going.

Hello John, I mean Guru and welcome to the forum.

A lot of us were skeptical at first but willing to try something new. I am surprised you have not seen better results but sometimes people report that they get the least effects from those who know us best and alreafy have concrete notions about who we are.

I use A314 and Instant Shine or [Instant Honesty](https://a314.com/product/instant-honesty/) on an almost daily basis. I have been very happy with them.

Renny is the man around here and he has given you some good starting points for reading.

I will add id some instructions on the reps thing here in a minute.

Edit:  
When you make a post that others like, they will left click on your reputation number, a window will pop up, they will choose positive rep points and hopefully add a comment and their name so you know who repped you. Click the add button, and you will have more reputation. How much rep points you get depends on their rep power.

You will find that if you rep people they are likely to reciprocate. Hence leaving a msg and your name.

Glad you decided to join in the fun.

Thanks for the info, renny.

Alright. It’s Chikara. The scented one. It smells nice and people seem to like it. And me, by proxy. Or vice versa. 🙂

To be fair, I haven’t tried A314 over a long period of time, because it, well, smells funny and I had to use a lot of my cover scent, which I don’t like (not the scent, the amount thereof 🙂).

Thanks. Now I feel “moved” to rep you. Would that be okay or be for some “trivial” reason?

Damn, my cover’s blown. 😉

About the sceptic thing: I HAVE seen effects, I’m just not sure that it’s the pheromones and not my attitude when wearing them (I’m a bit on the hypochondriac side, anyway). That’s why I’m so intrigued by [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/). It more or less consistently makes myself feel good about myself.

Thanks. That clears everything up.

When did you purchase the A314? Others may know more about Chikara. I think it’s a -nol based product. Similar ones here would be IO, IH, CTTM2.

Attitude is everything. It’s much harder to pull off a “heavy” [pheromone](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) like A314 if your personality is light and fun. Once you get the hang of matching task, persona, and pheromone all together, you’ll really start to love using them.

Again welcome, and don’t let Bosshank fool ya, he’s the man, I am the fool on the hill. 🙂

A314 was one of my first forays into [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/). Might have been even a bit more than a year ago.

You’re right about the attitude. I guess I’m rather easygoing and a bit quirky.

Oh, come on, you’ve both been quite the walrus. Erm, I mean, helpful and enlightening. Just don’t forget: Living is easier with eyes closed. 😛

I’ll stop that now.

Let it be, even.

Oops.

Renny is right - it is one of the harder ones to pull off if you are not like that naturally.

Renny - I see I still need a good lead on those hip waders …

Woohoo! Thanks so much. 😃

I guess I’ll restack on Intant Shine and from the suggestions try, maybe, the [Come Talk To Me](https://a314.com/product/come-talk-to-me-cttm/) Mix.

Gotta go now, I’m still fixing that hole in the ocean. (Also: trying to make a dove-tail joint. It’s harder than it sounds) 😕

Hi all,

I’m new in the world of pheromones. I just bought 3 bottles of pherlure after I read the “unbiased” reviews prior to finding this site. I have to say, I thought that this site is the fakers and the pherlure and pherlure review sites were the legit ones… I may need to change my thinking 🙂

I don’t know what made me so slow to realize it, but I finally noticed that those review sites received commissions from selling pherlure. I myself have been in the e-advertising business for a few months. silly me ☹

Anyways, I am expecting to get some satisfactory results from pherlure. However, I am greatly intrigued by the products that you are offering here. A314, instant shine and instant openness seems like the kind of products that I am looking for to excel in my sales business.

I am wondering what this gift card that you give for free is. Can you tell me a bit?

Welcome to the forum

You need to go to this page and start a new thread

> **[PheromoneTalk](https://pheromonetalk.com/introductions-new-users-say-hello-get/)**
>
> Everything about using pheromones to enhance your social life

Just post the same info you posted here and maybe a little about your personality so people can point yu toward the correct products for you.

This gets you quailfied for a GC of $15 to the smartmones store. Its easier for me to keep track of the GC’s when everyone starts there own thread in the intro section.
