I ran into this while googling for the university of chicago study by martha mcClintock on [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) … i’ve never tried this stuff; i remain a little sceptical, but i’m willing to try this stuff out in real life situs …

i’m a little overwhelmed by the number of commercial products out there. from first glance it seems only [androticsdirect.com](http://androticsdirect.com) products are discussed. is that the protocol on this forum?

or is it just b/c they’re more popular than other brands amongst the users here? anyway, i’m 29-m-california, and i’ll be catching myself up on this stuff.

from a very brief look over, i’ve seen ‘instant shine’ being recommended to newcomers as an proof-of-pheromones.  
**Androstenone** is found in sweat of male humans … is this the active pheromone that they’re using? or are there more recently discovered chemicals like Androstadienone? i’d like to know what i’m putting on …

what’s the basic starter package? i work in a social environment everyday, and go clubbing or to bars whenever i find the time. there’s a lot of girls where i work, unfortunately, they are usually of the married variety. what about stuff for clubbing?

finally, i’m in LA … does that qualify as hot AND dry? (oil vs spray) i’m originally from NY so when i came here last year, i found it mad dry, but now i don’t notice it at all.

Hey C!

I’m from LA, too. Feel free to call me anytime 😉

Shine’s probably one of the best to start for your environment variety. It’s neither Androstenone or -Dienone, but a different molecule entirely. You can search for the molecule here under the name TAA.

We’re a research firm that is interested in finding out about new pheromones and what pheromones actually do (instead of hype). And we don’t limit ourselves to the molecules that have been covered since the dawn of pheromoning, like androstenone and dienone (though they have their place here as well)

Read on, have fun!
