Do you think unscented p79 smells bad?

Does it diffuse too much quickly and fade? How long does it last?

Would scent cover help to diffuse it slower and/or further?

If you use scented or oil based products over p79 would it have the same durability and diffusion than scented version?

Thank you all 😉

Had P79 a while a go, and I think it was unscented.

From memory, it did not smell particularily bad and was easily covered. If anything, a cover scent should help it get noticed by other people.

Thank you!

Can someone tell me if the added scent in p79 is only for covering? or it is used to make a better product (diffusion,durability,etc.)?

Smells like fermented fruit but too weak for cover. They usually claim it aids in diffusion. You could mix it in an atomizer with a nice cologne if you need to use cover while on the run. Just realize you’ll have to apply more according to how much you dilute it. I used most of my chemset [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/) this way. Not for diffusion–although perhaps a slide benefit–but for fast app while on the run or travelling. Nothing more boring and wasteful of time than layer a half dozen products and topping off with cologne. Plus explaining what the hell’s in all those bottles to your travel mates is avoided.

I have unscented p79.

What I normally do with [unscented pheromones](https://a314.com/product-category/stealth-unfragranced/) is just dab (spray) them on top of whatever cologne I’m using (usually oil based).

They mix with the smells just fine that way, and don’t stink. That way they diffuse just fine. If I’m desperate for a cover scent I’ll use a tiny quantity of extra scent over the top, but not enough to bog down the molecules.

I hope it’s not presumptuous for this newbie to go off on a bit of a rant here. People need to realize there’s a difference between a tiny amount of pheromones on your body smelling a little _musky_ (remember, _musky_ is reliably rated as human being’s favorite smell – that is a scientific fact) and STINKING.

I mean, one or two dabs of Edge (supposedly the stinkiest pheromone product) spread with your fingers to multiple areas of your otherwise fine smelling body and allowed to dry down is not going to make you stink to the general public. You will smell better, especially if you use a bit of essential oil or other scent with it! Just don’t put it in your pits for pit bacteria to transform.

It’s not about covering anything up. It’s about proportion and context.

-Androstenol smells good on your body in reasonable amounts, not bad! So does Androstadienone. So does -Androsterone. Being able to detect a little bit of pheromone smell, if you use the right amounts, makes you smell better to the general public!

Having said that, I am wrong as hell when it comes to using a ton of Edge or NPA like Gegogi does. In that case you need to pay close attention to the art of cover scenting.

It is a scientific fact that ASS is one of our favorite smells if diluted enough! That is just the way nature works. What do you think makes jasmine, rose and neroli smell good? ASS! Yes, one of the major scent chemicals (the indole family) in these precious flowers, along with skatole (also used in perfume) is the same thing that makes poop smell like poop.

Even to the persnickity Asian (Japanese, in particular) palette, -Androstenol should be perceived as a very pleasant smell in the proper context. Contrary to popular belief, the Japanese love their musk – in the proper context and proportions.

So anyone feeling paranoid that pheromones can be smelled can just relax. They are _supposed_ to stink in concentrated form, and _supposed_ to smell great in proper dilution and combination on someones body. Musk (human or otherwise) and “B.O.” are two very different things. B.O. is a corrupted, polluted musk. A lot of what you are smelling in B.O. are toxins from certain strains of bacteria, or dead bacteria.

Ask any perfumer: The most useful and delicious substances in perfuming are very, very, very often substances that smell like the north end of a southbound bull, when concentrated.

I will go so far as to say that pheromones are more effective if they can be consciously smelled a little bit, even though they don’t need to be.

Now I know why I’m repelled yet strangely attracted to my GF’s blind eye.

Unlike LS, you can go to your User CP and change your “[Pheromone](https://pheromonelabs.com/) Cadet” status. Something more appropriate like arsemann, pheroking or whatever.
