A big Howdy from Texas! I am very curious about [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) in general and hope to learn more about them here. At this point, I am very skeptical as to whether pheromones actually work, or if people experience a placebo effect. Although a skeptic, I will keep an open mind about people’s individual experiences and will ultimately try different products and then chronicle my results. ---

welcome to the forums nitrofish. Well everyone’s skeptical of course with all those scams out there these days. There are certainly a lot of scholarly articles which support the fact that pheromones work and the fact the exist has been around for some time already. Now for the placebo effect, I can’t really tell whether it is or not but hey if it works then it’s worth it right. The thing that the placebo effect doesn’t explain is the negative reactions people get from you when you wear too much androstenone. ---

i would never discount the placebo effect; however, you have stumbled on a forum where we actually test pheromones that are newly-singled out with no preconcieved notions on how they _should_ make us feel. pretty good argument for pheromones,eh? pretty bizarre when we all have similar outcomes to the same new pheromone joining the party,lol. with this said, you are very lucky indeed if this is your first experience with them, because i cannot imagine any other place being so openminded,fun,experimental,and ALL INCLUSIVE..this means _YOUR IMPORTANT TO OUR EXPANSION!_ seriously,how cool is that? welcome aboard!🙂 ---

Whats up man…what part of houston are you from? Skepticism is a good thing actually. It gives you an opportunity to build a true understanding of how pheromnes work for you. Pre-wired expectations can often skew the types of effects we see. Like Lor says we’ve touched on a number of individual molecules that have specific characteristics…often these molecules are tested without any prior knowledge of what they do, and we arrive at the same conclusions as far as what the effects are. Pretty cool feeling really. Anyway, welcome aboard and good luck with everything ---

Thanks for the warm welcome! Sigma, I live on the north side of Houston in a little town called Spring. Just far enough to be out of the city limits and yet still close enough to comute into the city everyday. I will keep an open mind, I assure you. My initial interest is strictly for business use. I am in sales and I am always looking for an edge. Does anyone have a suggestion as to which product I should begin with? ---

A314 and Instant Shine, double strength (or Oil of Shine, if and when it becomes available.) **Or,** A314 and an alpha-androstenol product such as [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) or Spaceland. ---

Hey there Nitro! Business applications, I hear? Phew. You’ve definitely come to the right place. I have a lot of salesmen, real estate agents and all around class acts using and abusing the A314 effect. You’ll see when you try it. 🙂 Anyhow, your gift certificate is sent. Read up on the forums, and if you ever have any questions, don’t be a stranger!!! Welcome!
