SoE: You will have to play with it just like any other [pheromone product](https://a314.com/shop/) to find your sweet spot. But when I use it I use 2 stripes approx 6-8 inches long for best effetcs. Like any pheromone product apply where it open to the air. It will take minimal cologne to cover the scent. ---

I just got this a few days ago, but I just put a little bit on my wrists, maybe the inside of my arms, and maybe my neck. Once you spot androstenol “OD” you’ll get a better feeling for it. I don’t believe there is any “standard” amount, and I believe the Lovescent forums could be more helpful in its use. In short, I believe you should put enough on your wrists/neck that you feel mildly “warm” and cozy, but not so much you feel spacey or altered (and if you can’t feel self effects much, look for reactions in other people). Do not smell the stuff though when you put it on, that will ruin your perception, wait for it to dry down a couple of minutes. Put the roll-on first, on clean skin, with nothing else on it, before you put anything over it. It is a good product, though. It seems oriented towards regular social settings moreso than others (you could wear it pretty much anywhere, though I’m not sure the vibe would be right for a funeral). I think it’s going to become my “go to” base, but I always carry around a few atomizers of Instant Shine or [Instant Honesty](https://a314.com/product/instant-honesty/) in my pocket. ---

I really like it - I used it as my base for a while too. Gegogi is a big fan - I think he uses it as a base also. ---

Here’s just a rough guide based on the concentration data on Pherolibrary… A “drop” is often considered about .1 mL. There is, according to Pherolibrary, about 10mcg androsterone per “drop” in Scent of Eros, based on a 4:1 ratio (20 percent androsterone). This means that one drop of Scent of Eros has roughly the same amount of androsterone as one spray of [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/). Somebody ought to double check the math on that (please). Also, there is a possibility that the Pherolibrary is in error, who knows… Keep in mind that Scent of Eros is an oil form that diffuses slower just by its very nature than Instant Gentleman, the effects will take longer at a given “dosage”. Now, the product form comes in the form of a roll-on, but if you could visualize how big a drop or two of oil might be from a “dropper”, squished out flat in volume and rubbed over your skin, you might get a good idea of where to start. I already have a small amount of Scent of Eros outside of the bottle in a small “to-go” roll-on, and I might try putting it in a used EO bottle to see how it “doses” by drop. The product is really meant to be a slow acting, “social enhancer” really more than anything, it’s not meant to be quite like the Androtics Instant products and “dosed”. This is what I’ve gathered from reading Scent of Eros and in some messages with James Kohl (BTW, don’t contact him with general usage questions about the product, he prefers to refer people to Lovescent or other forums as he is fairly busy). He’s not taking so much a “clever trick with whatever it takes” approach, more like creating a pheromone product that creates an “attractive human male” pheromone scent, based on peer-reviewed research he finds of acceptable quality, and both his own and Stone Labs’ research (eg, when I asked him about the ratios of pheromones, his reply was these were determined through research by himself and Stone Labs). Also, I never was 100 percent clear on the issue ,but I believe based on messages here on the forums, he elected to not include androstenone, because it is not very species specific, whereas androsterone is more uniquely human; androstenols and androsterone are alot better at making men look attractive to _human_ women, in general situations, than just slapping on a couple drops of androstenone. At least I believe that is his rationale. Also, he makes no bones about the fact he believes androstenone is repellent to a certain extent (“urinous odor”), and even our own experience at Pherotalk shows this is the case if it is used excessively and/or used near people of the wrong ethnicity. ---

SOE is a great product, I have the scented version and it smells great too. I generally put on a lot(oil based + winter here), anywhere from 15-25 inches, and caused some chaos already in the lecture hall 😃 ---

After i use A314 every day, i have an oil based mix that works. Not exactly like what SOE should do but anyway… works! I have SOE scented and it smells to strong for me. I feel like Mr. Cologne while wearing it and only got hits with it in combo with 2 daps of NPA. No. I like A314 better. Its just perfect for office, it is cheaper over time, and i have seen classic hit with women too. I don´t know whats in A314 exactly and what is in SOE, and if im comparing apples with bananas but i know both are oil based and so a product for the whole day. ---

> [@Denied](#): > > I have Scent of Eros scented and it smells to strong for me. I feel like Mr. Cologne while wearing it… Out of curiosity, are alot of places in Germany “Scent-Free”? Do you usually wear colognes? I’m used to now days wearing something, maybe that’s why Scent of Eros doesn’t bug me. I can hardly smell it when wearing a modest amount (a few swipes on the wrist or arm). The musk isn’t particularly strong- it smells fainter than some laundry detergents or soaps. I’ll admit, though, musks are probably one scent my nose tends to “tune out” a bit. ---

It depends on you status and the place. Normaly most people won´t wear strong colognes for normal office work. Or just so common colognes like acqua di gio, cool water etc etc.. If you are high status, like the manager or if you have a lot of customers it is more likely that you can wear stronger colognes. When doing sports its more or less like: You wear colognes only when you like to attract women / men. When partying or going to clubs everything is acceptable. Few examples: I was wearing 3 sprays of [Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/) when i come to work. Appayed about 30 min. When i was at work, abour five people came to me like… hey are you coming from a club… or lets go party… kidding on me. Women were basicly nicer 🙂 Got some compliments for smelling good. So, no Ammo for me during Work. A314 does fit much better. It only smells strong for about 10 mins and keeps perfect the whole day. I usually wear Acqua di Gio cologne an ADG Deodorant, becourse it very decent and fits me, but im searching for something “deeper”. And i use A314 every day. Im extremly interested in this Sexual from Michel Garmin but i is not availible in Germany. And i don´t buy a product i don´t have a chance to test. This is why i love androtics for having togo bottles 🙂 ---

I’m just wondering is it possible to wear something like A314 (or A314 + shine) without cover?? assuming cologne is not suitable in many places such as office or work. or do you find it necessary to cover them because they reek. ---

I’ll sometimes go without cover if I’m using the neroli scented stuff, like [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/). After drydown, it takes on a soft, light smell, no stronger than a decent body wash. Sometimes, I just don’t feel like using cologne, but the combination of my deodorant and the neroli satisfies my paranoid need to know I smell clean. The drawback is that the pheromones probably don’t diffuse as well. -D4 ---

I dont use ADG as cover. I use becourse i like it 🙂 I think you don´t have to cover A314. It bends well with your body scent within 20 min. And i think you won´t need a cover for shine. [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) is fine 🙂 ---

I tried 1 drop of Scent of Eros. Based on the self-effects, I’d say this dosage is adequate to start- it imparts a mildly warm, cozy vibe as the self-effect I experience, and it’s similar to wearing [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/) + Instant Openness. I think the amount of oil in a drop resembles the amount you get on your arm with one or two swipes of the roll-on, on each wrist crosswise. I believe the self-effects are just slightly milder than some of them I have experienced doing 1-2 swipes on each wrist and maybe a swipe on the crook of my arm. So “1-2 drops” is probably a good dosage. If you want a really large phero-cloud and need to make impressions fast, I’d say 2 drops is more like it. That would probably involve alot of " rollin’ " with the roll-on. I myself like being a little parsimonious with the pheromones, though- they aren’t cheap, and I really like to wear them often, so I usually opt for lower dosages on anything I wear, tailoring the “mix” as I see fit. Scent of Eros might make a really good “drop” oil if it were slightly diluted to get better “resolution”. But I know nothing about blending oils, and SoE isn’t exactly cheap stuff, so I’m not going there.
