Greetings from Chicago 🙂 I’m a 30-year-old psychologist with special interests in social influence and hypnosis. I first discovered pheromones 2 or 3 years ago while completing a clinical residency in a rehab program. The supervisor I reported to just hated me, and I was really struggling to just complete the training year and get out of there. A few months into the year, I came across a mention of commercially available [pheromone products](https://a314.com/shop/) and started doing some research. I got particularly lucky when I discovered A314 and decided to give it a try despite my limited budget as a student. The supervisor began treating me with more respect almost immediately, and I think there is honestly a good chance that I would not have passed the residency if not for my daily use of that pheromone blend. I also noticed a substantial accelerated social learning effect. As people began to naturally see me as more authoritative, I automatically began to adopt a more powerful and authoritative persona in my everyday interactions. As a psychotherapist, these now-integrated social cues for confidence and authority now help my clients to more readily respond to my suggestions, making it faster and easier for me to improve the lives of the people I work with. One of my main clinical and research interests is the use of hypnosis, which has been empirically shown to facilitate a wide variety of psychological and physiological effects. For example, hypnosis has been used to decrease healing time for surgical wounds and fractures, as anesthesia and analgesia for acute injury or surgical procedures, to treat various types of warts and herpes, as well as psychological conditions ranging from simple phobias all the way to complex trauma and personality disorders. The field of clinical and experimental hypnosis has had many ongoing controversies regarding the modification of hypnotic responsivity, and I would love to conduct research on the potential for substances such as oxytocin and alpha- or beta-androstenol to affect this trait. I think these substances may also have potential for affecting treatment outcomes by increasing patients’ general receptivity to therapeutic intervention. I’m glad to have found this community, and hope to have fruitful discussions about the practical applications of various pheromone substances. Happy Holidays! -dbot ---

Hello! Welcome to the forum! I’m glad you’ve found such great success with the products. Please do consider starting a journal and sharing with us. We’d love to hear about everything. 🙂 So, is there anything we can help you with. Are you looking for something in particular? Edit: I think I misread that. You’re saying you are interested in Beta Nol and Alpha Nol for hypnosis? x Luci ---

I’m interested in anol and bnol for potential use in hypnosis and psychotherapy; I will likely try out IO for this purpose within the next year. One question I do have on my mind is this: is there anything comparable to A314 for women? I would love to give my wife something like that for Christmas, but as far as I can tell it hasn’t been developed yet? Are there any products you would recommend as good everyday-wear for women in committed relationships, just to increase their mood and/or perceived social value? I’m thinking IS would be a good gift, but I’d love to hear feedback. Thanks! ---

By the way, one thing I’m not clear on is how the MX products work. Do people just buy them to test something new? Or is there anything posted somewhere about what the ingredients or intentions of the mix are? ---

I’m an avid user of A314 and can always expect to have the respect and authority shown to me when I use it. I like to combine it with some socials to get the most out of social settings. As to a gift for your wife, you also have to consider her preferences for scents. There is Akuto (very masculine), [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/), (citrusy and my wife says masculine inclined), Cookie (very sweet and delicious as it sounds!, IMO) and several others. I have already given my wife a gift of IS and IH…having a custom order of Neroli and Grapefruit mixed in the bottle… Here is my thread on the scents and process I took to get my gift set up for my wife. I’d also suggest you call into the Store and talk to Steve O, he was extremely helpful with suggestions. > [@Help In customizing an Instant Line for a gift!](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/help-in-customizing-an-instant-line-for-a-gift/43096): > > I had thought about it and I think it would be useful for this to be shared on the forum as well. I had OG asked some of the advanced gals on this forum on a PM. But, the answers given could be useful to others…so here is the question(s)… Can you please provide me with input on my dilemma? I’d appreciate your advice. Can you gals give me any suggestions on a Fragrance that is in the same or similar spectrum as Prada? It’s made in Spain.

MX’s are experimental. I do know they published some of the formulas but those are very limited. As for production I believe if it is up on the MX page, they intend to produce it when it is feasible, and when they take it off, it’s gone completely. Typically don’t recommend MX’s to new users but you have more experience than I do so I’m sure its safe to say you won’t have a problem with the purchase. ---

There was a mix like A314 (I think it was MX134). Check here for women’s phero guide: > [@Womens Pheromone Guide](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/womens-pheromone-guide/4258): > > Revised for 2010/11 Ok ladies here is the start of my pheromone guide you asked for. I will be adding to it but I wanted to post something to get it started. (Mens guide located in the “Pheromone theory” sticky section) When posting about your pheromone experiences please try to add the dose on the bottle. How much you used and where you sprayed it on your body. This makes it easier for Jas and others to figure out what works and what doesnt and why. Due to Androtics no longer being able to … ---

Hi Anna, and thanks for the welcome! My wife is a bright and sunshiny gal, and is also a natural leader. I don’t particularly want to induce other guys to be going crazy for her, just want to give her a little extra edge in social situations to help her be all that she can be 🙂 After some ill-considered ordering patterns and much kindness and understanding from the Androtics staff, I’ve got a bottle of grapefruit-scented [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) on the way for her. ---

Hmmm…that interests me. Do you have a journal report on it?
