Thats the kind Tater always gets and they are PERFECT for compositing. I have honeys at all the local department stores, so they load me up. I generally get 20-30 samples plus little toiletry sets, gift bags and the occasional phone number. Pheros + sales girls works wonderfully because its not hard to keep them with you for 5 minutes if youre a buying customer.
I like your cheek spray idea!
Yeah shadow thats kinda like what i got
Where did you get yours i got mine at a department store
If the products you ordered are scented only with neroli i don’t see why they wouldn’t blend with a citrusee fruity cologne
Just composite and dont worry TOO much about the pheros being scented. If your mix is 50% the cologne you want, all but the strongest fragrances will leech out.
Tater when your mixing compositing will you mix in oil based products (A314 , Dirty, Lust after Me and Raw Power as well as Spray based products.
I mention this because i notice Gegogi mention adding Bergamot EO in Calvin Kline’s One.
Tater never mixes alcohol-based and oil-based products. Too unreliable. I always use separate application points and composite them separately. A314 and Dirty will be Taters first Androstics oil-based products.
Thanks Tater
I have an italian body wash with some bergamot in it.. I found it to be good to use with Pheros by DrSmellThis as that has bergamot in it too (if I’m not mistaken).
I read that and used the idea yesterday too .. ![]()

thanks for the tip,shadowx.
I went to a store yesterday, it sells wholesale perfumes/colognes…
I saw something unusual, intimately beckham. Wanted to get a sample of that but the male clerk didn’t want to give any tube samples, he just sprayed a paper strip (he didn’t even spray on my wrist!).. I think it’s pathetic. Paper strips really smell differently, in fact I didn’t really like it. And he wanted to sell me a Dolce & Gabbana instead which didn’t smell anything interesting.. (to my nose it was like an aqua di gio’)
I prefer the other stores which give samples.. cause I can try before I buy…
Its for cost reasons. I have friends who never buy colognes. They just pass by the mall on their way to wherever. A true wholesaler doesnt have the profit margin to permit that and stay in business.
yeah i hate that walking out of the shop with a bunch of strips not knowing which is which
Thanks to Tater we know to flirt with the shop girls and get some samples
Department stores are better i guess
You take them all home? I generally make my decisions on the spot. It must be awkward taking all the shop girls home at the same time. They normally wear name tags so you can tell which is which. ![]()
Yes, and even pharmacies…
that’s true.. I remember there was another store in another town, just selling colognes etc, which did offer me a batch samples for sale at least.
I’m tempted to take up the offer one day..
I got mines from a despartment store as well, Sears to be specfic. Actually, I wasn’t the one who got them. It was my mother. She was there to buy a cologne as a gift for my brother , then she asked for a sample for me because I was lazy to go at the time lol. However, the clerk gave her bunch of samples…and I really mean a bunch, 11. I don’t know why because two weeks ago, I tried to get few samples but the woman only gave me one and she was kind of not happy about it. Prboably the reason why my mother got so many is because she already bought a cologne..? or maybe because I look like a teenager (which I kind of still am
) and she thought I wasn’t serious about buying.
I have a small idea, but not sure if it would work. Buy a cologne from a department store, that you usually wear and then ask for samples of other brands. Tell them you are planning on buying another very soon but most of what you try are smelling bad on you so you want to test before buying more. I believe they should give you like two because you already bought something from them so your kind of showing that you are serious buyer.
Yes here if you buy a cologne from the pharmacy/dept store they will give you samples if you ask for them. I only found one wholesale shop which does not give samples… and I had bought from there before too.
Today I was wearing 1 drop unscented alpha7 (essentially -Androsterone and -none) and 1 drop ls A314 with a nice light cover scent..
Went to a perfumery shop with a nice clerk (a girl).. so I got her to spray Intimately beckham night for men on my wrist… she was already DIHLing a bit as soon as I was entering the shop.. I asked her for her opinion as a woman, she liked that…
Anyway I ended up buying it as it was a good price (and better than the other shop I posted about with the strips in this thread)..
WOW you scored there Shadow
Thanks for the tip!
i hear some people just spray the pheros into the whichever mixed bottles they are mixing. i imagined using a dropper to be a little more exact with the ratios on the mixes.
i have small cologne decant bottles that i will end up using, will those work as a glass atomizer? i wanted to use bulvari aqua and since the bottle has already been used, the scent will stay in there. not sure how my cologne’s gonna work with the pheros. anyone know how the bulvari aqua scent might mix with the neroli?
i agree. i would like to know this as well.
It would depend on the amount of cologne to the ratio of pheros added. In the little testing I’ve done the neroli gets lost in the cologne scent. But if you added enough and did the math for an optimal amount of mcgs of each phero + fragrance per spray the neroli might be more prevalent.
It’s more thoroughly explained in this thread:
There’s math involved ![]()
