Hello to everyone in the know

I’m a college student, and have therefore done my best to do my research on the subject of pheromones. I’ll sum up what I think I know and what I don’t know.

I think that there is a huge opportunity for people to be scammed in this niche, because the results are difficult to substantiate until you actually have whatever pheromone-based product you’ve ordered.

Before I chanced across SmartMones, I was giving serious thought to trying Pherlure and/or Athena pheromones. I’m glad I found SmartMones, because I remain skeptical of the other two:

First and foremost, Athena does not detail what is in their product. This seems like not only a consumer hazard, but also a health issue–merchants are responsible for accurately detailing the contents of their products.

Pherlure lists their unique ingredient as Di-dehydroepiansterone–which is not even listed in many prominent medical servers. Moreover, their website has all of the appearance of a scamming engine–vague terms of use granting the merchant broad discretionary powers, and no clear way to contact the company. Moreover, their terms of use specifically state that users are forbidden from publishing, distributing, or even REFERRING to any communication with them. They threaten legal action should consumers do so.

SmartMones makes sense to me. There is an instantly available community of experienced users for me and others to consult. Moreover, it’s based on principles that seem sound and logical.

Example: the most sexually suggestive mixes SmartMones offers are heavy in Androstenone–the pheromone immediately responsible for the mating process in pigs. That might seem a bit low or degrading to human standards, but pigs are in fact very biologically similar to humans–far more so than dogs, cows, etc. Pig cardiovascular valves have been transplanted into human beings, after all.

I guess my final question is how the pheromones SmartMones offers are synthesized, and how the minds of the company determined which pheromone does what. Does anyone happen to know?

Best!

hello and welcome.

rep to you for doing your research AND including a story of the mating process in pigs into your intro post.

i’ve tried Athena products and have absolutely no results of any kind whatsoever to report. i’ve been posting here for years now and have way too many stories/hits/bizarre coincidences and happenings to report. i just don’t have enough time to write it all.

one thing i really appreciate here at Androtics is the “dosed” nature of their products, meaning you should always get the same amount of pheromone product in each spray, time after time. the customer service here is the best anywhere and there is, as you said, a very large and diverse community here for open discussion about their products.

androtics rules.

for your final question, i’ll leave the synthesis to someone else but i can tell you that many of the products here are “blind” tested by skeptical and observant people like myself and from your intro post, i think you are probably going to be doing a bit of putative testing yourself. for a lot of the products, we simply aren’t told what does what, but rather left alone to experiment and find out for ourselves (then reporting back here how we felt, how others felt, how much we used, what the setting was, etc etc etc)

since you are in college, maybe try a to go bottle of Ammo, a bit of -none buffered by a few other pheromones so it won’t pack the traditional androstenone hammer but should perk up some interest in the pheromones as well as the scent. most to go’s are pretty damn cheap, reasonable enough for even a college kid.

good luck and please let us know how the testing goes…

Hi Welcome to the forum.

SteveO will be around, he’ll probably be the best person to tackle the question of how the pheromnes are synthesized and some of the other questions directed at the company.

As long as you stick to purchasing the consumer line of products (not the experimones, experimental mixes or putatives) there is a money back guarantee after you’ve had the opportunity to use them for a full year if you’re not satisfied. As they point out in their literature, you can’t buy regular cologne with that guarantee.

You haven’t stated whether you’re even interested in purchasing any of these products or what purpose you’d have for them even though you’ve posted in the area for the $15 GC. If you are interested in that, could you tell us more about how you’d like to use pheromones personally? Thanks!

Hey rbb,

Welcome to the forum.
It’s good to see you did your homework. While it is still unnerving to know that so many other companies within this field are scammers, ADR functions in a legitimate, reassuring way.

They do not operate any scam sites, are place their products into an open forum for review. While this is the internet, and it is possible that everyone here is bullshitting, to me it is not probable that a large group of people would get together for a bullshit roundtable.

No idea about the synthesis, but several of the pheromone compounds that ADR indicates are in their products are easily researchable online. There’s even a database (which I will try to link to in a bit) that lists some of the ingredients that ADR purports to use.

Here is the website:
