Hi all:
Thanks for the friendly welcome and the head’s up on the gift certificate.
To answer some of the research questions:
I did not know of the is site, so I did not buy the pheromone products here. I just found the site yesterday. I am still reading about the products sold here.
I prior used a product called Eros and another called pure instinct by Jellique.
Eros, elicited a friendly smiley response from both men and women. The effect was very very subtle. Literature on the product suggested that people may be reacting to the wearer’s own behavior because it is supposed to make the wearer feel confident. It did.
Still, even when I said nothing or was not the first to smile or talk, the Eros seemed to very subtly influence that behavior in other people.
It comes in a scented or unscented version. It was alcohol based and lasted only about 3 hours. The odor was not very noticeable once the product dried.
Only a small swipe from the roller was needed. If too much was used it gave me a raging headache.
The pure instinct was oil based. It appeared to last longer both in effect and scent.
It had a very nice but obvious odor…Fruity, lemony…it’s hard to pin it down. The scent lasted longer probably because of the oil.
The aroma was relaxing and it did not cause a headache even if I used more than a few drops. I did not notice that I personally felt more confident, when using it. I felt energized, though and content.
The pure instinct product always elicited lots of comments from both men and women about my choice of perfume being a good one. People did appear to be more friendly or cooperative. The cooperative, smiley, talkative effect, in other people, however, was not as great as with the Eros product.
I live part time in the Northeast, U.S.A and part time in the western part of the U.S.A.
I work in business that requires me to interview people and to interact with people often.
I am mainly interested in using several types of products to subtly influence specific behaviors in other people in various situations.
These are the characteristics of the type of product I am interested in most.
1 - A product that will help people open up during the conversation, to be more trusting of my presence, and to feel less nervous about talking.
2 - I am also interested in products that will help increase a subconscious leadership perception rather than a “girly girl” perception.
I am small framed and not very tall. I am in my late 30s.
Studies show that smaller or shorter people, both men and women give the subconscious impression of being children. This impression can be both a plus and a negative depending upon the situation and whom I am with at the time.
Therefore I would like to be able to use an “alpha” product in selective situations, without appearing to be too domineering or masculine. … a product that can be used by both men and women.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
