I cant find the particular post your referring to but this post will help give you some ideals
Finding New Ways To Use Pheromones!
My advice is to use Ishine and a Glade plug in air freshener. The kind that the scent go’s in a little bottle and a fan blows it out into the air. If you dont want to do that because the house is still occupied then just make a excuse to go into another room while they are looking at something and give a few sprays around the room.
Also you want them to trust you and feel connected. Where some IH to the back of your body. I say the back because you dont want it to effect you as much as them.
I cant guarantee these methods will work but its worth a try. I know when my boss is being a pain in the ass if I sneak in and spray the office chair with some Ishine he is always in a much more open better mood.
