Sorry, was debating where I should put this, so I hope here is okay. ☹ It seems most of the scents are a bit too strong when applied for me. They kill me and my sensitive little nose and make my sister hold her breathe. So, Im thinking of just going unscented from now on, unless: Is there a certain way to apply them to make it less strong? Anything I should do? If not, any recommended perfume that diffuses it nicely while also being _very_ subtle in smell for my overly sensitive nose, WHILE hiding the bad phero smell? 😉 Thanks so much ahead of time, sorry for all the qualifications. :o ---

I find its scent fades pretty quickly - it doesn’t go away entirely but gets much quieter. I have no trouble wearing 5-6 sprays of neroli scented products. I think they have a light neroli option as well, for extra $$ (?) The other scent packages, I agree, are rather strong, especially if you’re wearing more than 1-2 sprays total. ---

Carrie has a good question. Is it the cover scent that is to strong or the mones. Is your sister near you when you apply or does she tell you this later when she see’s you ? I find holding my breath when I apply helps or all I will smell all day is neroli. I do this when I apply cologne for the same reason. I find when I smell it wet as I am applying it it is strong all day. Keep in mind that the unscented mones will smell bad in some cases. The neroli does have a purpose. > [@](#): > > **MHarris** \>\> Remember, when it comes to pheromones, it’s not just the actual pheromone molecules that count. It’s how they’re contained on the skin (“fixed” in parfuming parlance), how they leave the skin (“diffusion”), and what they do in their air when they’re off (“projection” and then “sillage”). These are all important factors that few ever stop to consider. I would suggst getting the light neroli or maybe grapefruit instead of unscented. See if that is better for you before spending more money on unscented. Tisha ---

[Optimal diffusion of phero's](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/optimal-diffusion-of-pheros/26730) In summation - is our testing data useless without neroli/Androtics scents? ---

[Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) is one of the less powerful androtics covers. The game scent that is being used a lot these days is very powerful. I see you just got mx292. I posted on this strong cover smell a bit ago in the thread [MX292 with mutant a314 and Monk: she yelled 'What is that smell? I have to know' - #15 by Gone\_with\_the\_Wind](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/mx292/26531/15) . ---

i actually have the same problems as you do when it comes to applying pheros.. i was getting unscented for awhile until they changed the whole unscented pricing stuff… what i now do, is that i usually dilute the neroli with my own perfume but use twice the spray. with some it works and with some it doesnt.. hope that helpes a bit 🙂 ---

Sorry for the late reply, been sososooo busy lately! ☹ Ah, I was gonna add that the [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) didn’t bother me much, should have probably added that. Can the MX and Putatives be customized for scent, though? Thanks for all the info! \<3 Also, it is the cover scent that is too strong, sorry for not clarifying. 😉 & yeah, it was the game that really got me.. So strong, I just had to ask, and glad I did because I got awesome answers. Gracias @ all.
