So you buy LT for the bottle only it seems. You guys saved me from buying that one.
(I kind of went a bit nuts buying stuff after discovering this place)
oom:
Would it work suspended in an oily Lip Balm? I’m thinking not airborne but a contact-based product… There must be some way to stabilize it so that it’s protected from breakdown until contact/heat.
[EDIT]
Came across this related paper in the Studies and Abstract forum: Background : In nonhuman mammals, the neuropeptide oxytocin has repeatedly been shown to increase social approach behavior and pair bonding. In particular, central nervous oxytocin reduces behavioral and neuroendocrine responses to social stress and is suggested to mediate the rewarding aspects of attachment in highly social species. However, to date there have been no studies investigating the effects of central oxytocin mechanisms on behavior and physiology in human couple interaction.
Methods:**In a double-blind placebo-controlled design, 47 heterosexual couples (total n 94) received oxytocin or placebo intranasally before a standard instructed couple conflict discussion in the laboratory. The conflict session was videotaped and coded for verbal and nonverbal interaction behavior (e.g., eye contact, nonverbal positive behavior, and self-disclosure). Salivary cortisol was repeatedly measured during the experiment.
Results**: Oxytocin significantly increased positive communication behavior in relation to negative behavior during the couple conflict discussion (F 4.18, p .047) and significantly reduced salivary cortisol levels after the conflict compared with placebo (F 7.14, p .011).
Conclusions: These results are in line with animal studies indicating that central oxytocin facilitates approach and pair bonding behavior. Our findings imply an involvement of oxytocin in couple interaction and close relationships in humans.

Yes, in direct contact with the mucus membranes of the nose, this does work. There really is little dispute about that. But are you going to spray this up your date’s nose?
I’m not sure about the lip gloss idea or about how to stabilize oxytocin. I do know that spraying it on the skin just before really close, skin-to-skin contact seems to make a difference. It seems to increase comfort and bonding once you are naked.
I just don’t see how it will increase your chances of getting naked.

diane999:
Actually Love Scent says that they do not know what these substances do, and that they are offered for research purposes only.
Equilin is a horse conjugated estrogen, one of the ingredients in Premarin and human birth control pills. Some people report pheromone-like responses to equillin and a calming effect, but it is not found naturally occuring on the skin of humans.
Estradiol is the main female estrogen of child-bearing years. It can penetrate the skin, so again, be cautious using it as a pheromone, since it has a strong estrogen effect in the body, and especially because of the 1 mg/ml concentration of the product from Love_Scent.
I buy and use the Estratetraenol (EST) from LS. It is a good product, but it is also 1 mg/ml and needs to be diluted with about 20 ml’s of perfumer’s or artisan’s alcohol to bring it into testing range (50.0 mcg/spray when transfered to a 30 ml spray-type bottle).

Finally, i have found the directions to mixing EST from LS.. i have been searching and i am new to getting around on here.. can you buy the perfumers alcohol at LS or this site as well?
thanks so much..

You can buy perfumers alcohol here, 30 mL Bottle :: Mixing Supplies :: Androtics Direct , at Androtics.
Not sure about Love-Scent though

How well does the A314 compare to Andro’s? If I read correctly, I know Andro makes it for LS but it has less mones.
What other items are good at LS?
I question about the Alpha because Andro has been out of stock for about a week or two now. I want to see if I get similar experiences as many other people have shared.
