Questions about Putatives and Expermentals?

So what exactly are these? I was skimming through the sections and noticed that they really don’t have explanations of what they do or what they are for? They all seem very interesting and for the price they seem like they would be worth testing but some type of info would be great, maybe theres a post about them somewhere that someone can link for me?

TY!

The P series (the putatives) consists of molecules that are believed to have potential as pheromones (molecules that produce physiological, mental, or behavioral changes in organisms when detected by the olfactory or other mechanisms.) The experimental test mixes are mixtures of various molecules (some known pheromones and some from the putatives) designed to produce a certain effect, like how Ammo is designed to produce a spark of attraction. In both instances, the entire point of their being made available to us to purchase is so it might be determined if the putative/experimental mix has an effect or if the effect is the one desired. If we, as the testers, have a preconceived notion of what a putative or experimental mix will do, we are likely to be biased in our observations and interpretations of people’s behavior, and will likely affirm the results we have come to expect. Thus, it is actually better for the forum and pheromone research in general if you have no idea what a putative or experimental mix is supposed to do, and then report the effects you observed on the forum.

However, if you would like an idea of what the putative or mix is believe to do before you buy it, just use the search function at the upper right hand corner of the page. There are over dozens of both putatives and experimental mixes, and many reports already written about most of them. However, it would be too difficult to talk about all of them in one thread. I hope that clears things up!

Here’s a pretty good explanation from tisha:

and what about the ones that arent expermones but say expermental test mixes? same or different?

***nevermind found the descriptions

MX’s are experimental test mixes that are a combination of pheromones and/or putatives/experimones. Some are designed by MHarris, and some are designed by users here. Popular ones like MX301 and MX330 were by Steve. Others like Wildflower, Catlord, DancingJoker which aren’t available now were mixes that they came out with from years of experience and testing.

gotcha, do the ones that are current out of stock usually reopen with stock? or are they pretty much extinct?

Since I’ve been here I’ve only seen a few go in and out. But the one’s that have stuck were MX330, MX297, MX301, MX138, MX347, MX300

Putatives are Potions;
Mx are the Magic level of the Potion Combination

See if you can find the Love Potion #9
