Hey, everyone, my name’s Devin and I’m a nineteen year old male living in the South Suburbs of Chicago. A few months ago, I bought a small bottle of Realm cologne on clearance for $2.50 figuring, what the hell, why not? I didn’t see much difference between using it or not, but it helped spur my interest in [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/). I got online and after a quick search, I stumbled over androticsdirect and pheromonetalk. To be honest, my passion in life is learning; I read and study everything and anything I can get my hands on. I’m able to develop an interest in most anything simply because learning how or why things work is my passion. Because of this, my interests range from classical music to black metal, theoretical physics to mechanic work to makeup, fashion, biology and history. Pheromones interest me primarily because they have such a complex play in our daily lives and overall societal interactions. Human cognitive abilities and complex emotions allow us to ignore, or resist the things our body tells us to instinctively do. I’m not hoping to land a lay or to dazzle people into giving me raises or divulging information . I’m engaged with a wedding date in September; I’m marrying my best friend of five years. I did nothing but move from place to place during my childhood, so I learned early on to make friends quickly, how to read people, adjust to their needs and expectations in communication, and open them up. I’m good at drawing people in, making them feel comfortable, and getting them to speak frankly and candidly about themselves, their pasts, and simply who they are as a person. I’m in good shape, well-spoken, and decent-looking, and I try my level best to make responsible decisions. In a way, the only thing I’m really looking to get out of pheromones is the experience of seeing how they alter my social life – what kind of interplay they have for someone who reacts very well socially. So what kinds of pheromones do you all think make the most interesting changes for someone not exactly looking for a specific goal? If I need to provide any more information for an accurate answer, please let me know! Thanks in advance for responses, and a warm hello to all of you! ---

Devin, sounds like you really don’t need pheromones … however they are fun to play with. Start simple and build from there. Instant Shine (2x concentration) is a very uplifting pheromone adds youthful energy to your mood, [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) (2x) will help get people around you in a talkative mood, Instant Honesty yields a more serious conversation, and Ammunition adds a sexy vibe to your aura. These 4 work well alone and even better when used together by layers different ones. Sometimes the effects are subtle other times they leave no doubt. Welcome to the forum and good luck. ---

Hello Devin Welcome to Pherotalk and congrats on your up coming wedding. I think the two most interesting products to try out since you dont have a specific goal are IH and Ishine. I love learning to there is just not enough time in the day to explore everything I want to LOL Pheromones are great, you will learn a lot about them here and about other aspects of communication as well. I look forward to chatting with you in the forum. Tisha ---

HI there, Welcome to the forum. I suggest you try the [social pheromones](https://a314.com/product-category/social-pheromones/) to see the results. IO will make people want to talk to you more. They will be more opened up. IH will make them talk to you deeper and longer. They will feel they have known you for some time. CHeers ---

Hi Devin and welcome! Like everyone has said the social pheomones are a staple in everyones stock pile. One of my favourites is CTTM2 as it makes you really approachable and friendly and is great for general chattiness. Regards Mackie ---

Thank you all for the warm welcome to the community, and thanks for the recommendations on which pheromones to start with! I think I’ll be ordering the to-go sizes of IH and IO based on what I read about them and the responses here. I did notice in reading about the to-go products that due to the design of the bottle and all, the pheromones are atomized in a narrower spray. I’d like to order these sizes to try before ordering the full 30mL sizes as it’s a less expensive way to experiment. Has anyone noticed any issues stemming from the narrower spray angle? If not, I’m going to go ahead and order some! Thanks! Devin ---

I have never had any problems with any of the sprayers on either size bottle. 🙂
