are many of you making serious efforts to research and determine the nature of the putatives? how many are keeping accurate journals to document your trials and results? has androtics ever run a contest to discover the effects and interactives of its putatives? is anyone collecting running SAS or analyzing statistics?
is anyone here serious enough about fragrances to have frequent basenotes.net or subscribe to wwd? any good fragrance/pheremone recipes or studies in how to best deliver your pheremone of choice?
many visitors here seem well-educated. how many take this stuff seriously, other than the owners?
forum reports on the putatives and test molecules are likely the tip of the iceberg. some user feedback goes directly to Jasmin. also I believe androtics has in the past (and may currently) run very cleverly designed blind tests with putative and test molecules. read some of MHarris’ old posts to get an idea of how much of a detail nut he is (in the best possible way
I think you might be surprised at the extent of statistical expertise amongst some of the forum members; however I think that on the whole we are at the pre-scientific stage, particularly with the newer molecules. So many factors to consider with combinatorial complexity. so possibly SAS style hardcore number crunching would be the wrong instrument.
it becomes evident quite quickly who here has a high degree of expertise with pheromones and fragrances. off the top of my head, read all posts by MHarris, tacitus, DrSmellThis (here and at lovescent), Carrie and several other of the more frequent posters/longer-established members. also read posts by surfs_up at lovescent.
