I’m 22, I heard some people talking about [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) and got so interested to see if they worked I wanted to try them out. I got a little bottle of instant shine and it really does do something, now I want to find out everything I can about them. My question is how long do the effects work? What I mean by that is when I can’t really smell the fragrance on me anymore does that mean the pheromone effect on others is over? Also I’m thinking about getting instant shine again and ammunition this time and I wanted to know if that’s a good place to start. ---

Hello Mcgates, welcome! If you’d like to qualify for the [GC](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/how-do-i-qualify-for-a-25-gift-certificate/19934) , could you tell us a little more about yourself? What’s your personality like? What all would you like to achieve with pheros? In what situations and environments would you be wearing them? [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) has generally been found to last anywhere between 2-4 hours. As far as products go, that is a really short time. Most pheros last longer than that. The duration is different for different people. Pheros can also be affected by sweating (become less effective), or different temperatures (they diffuse more quickly with heat, more slowly with cold). It’s really the responsibility of the wearer to keep notes about their own observations when testing them. If you reach a point when you stop noticing “hits” (people’s actions being influenced by the pheros you are wearing), then that might be your personal point when that particular phero loses potency. Smell is not always a good indicator. Pheros can still be working when you can’t smell them. The fragrance does enhance their effectiveness, however, and in general if you can smell them, they are probably working. Ammo is a good one to start with. It’s a general male sexual product. Looking forward to hearing about your experiences! ---

Hi McGates, Welcome to the forum. Tell us what your overall goals are with da mones man, and we can make some good suggestions for you to get you on the right track. Re how long they last, generally up to 4 hours on sprays, 6-8 hours with oils. Be advised that they are still on you past these timeframes, and can build up on you if you dont shower everyday or dont wash them off thoroughly. Looking forward to hearing from you. Good luck. ---

I would be described as a quiet person by most. Not in a shy way, but I don’t talk unless I really have something that I want to say. Actually that works to my advantage because girls have told me that they were really interested in getting to know me because they think I’m mysterious lol. I guess the main reason I want to try these is to see how much more attention I can really get. That’s why I think I want to try ammunition because I’ve read that it can spark an attraction without them even knowing you. An as far as situations, id like to try them in both party ( bar, club) and everyday ( going to get something to eat, store) situations and see what effects i can get ---

[Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) + Ammo is a great combo. As for the scent and wearing off, for some mones they wear off faster than their carrier scent (it’s to help with diffusion) some wear off at the same rate and some last much, much longer than their carrier scent. Instant Shine is generally a fast burnt mone, usually 2 to 4 hours, Ammo I find is about 3 to 5. IH can last 6 to 8 hours, but the strong effects are in the first 3 or 4, IO burns a bit faster in my eyes than IH. Things like TUTH have a long long life, like 6 to 10 hours. ---

Welcome Mcgates, This is a super informal and not so tailored response if you will. I would luuuuuuuv to spend more time assisting you especially since you are a newbie. We are short staffed and these gift certificates are done manually. It takes a great deal and I am back logged. I am hoping that when I catch up on my work, I can start answering these intro threads the way I use to In fact, I am hoping that soon, someone more experienced than me can come in so I get to do what I am great at, customer service. Thank you for giving pheromones a chance. Your gc was issued!
