This got me into another consideration. If someone were to really study themselves thoroughly & analyzing their behavior, how they act, & social with others, if they can determine what types of pheromones they are producing. Or if that’s invalid, just finding a way to determine what you are producing so you can find the right phero blend that fits with the person without testing.
We developed a procedure for testing human pheromone output as part of our insect work and were even able to make it mobile for testing participants at sporting events and the like but it probably remains impractical for general use - It required extensive sampling off the skin in an enclosed environment and the services of an experienced mass spec operator and all his toys. Amounted to many hours work per individual, so you would be talking many thousands per test.
So that leaves the testing to us basically by using sweet spots & other self individual test?
Yes. That’s the way I’ve gone with. Stick with each new mix for a bit in different environments, keep good notes and vary proportions/doses of each primary/secondary component - although after a while, you will get a feel for what secondaries work for you in different styles of mixes and can normalise those doses somewhat.
Other factors about yourself to monitor are how near to a workout/exertion, how you feel personally, your degree of sociability/engagement/interaction and your general health - I found that as my foot got bad and the amount of pain I had to deal with increased, whole classes of mixes became virtually unusable, whilst others actually did better, so there must be some influence there?
