Hello, My name is Tim, a 26 year old male from upstate NY. I work for a large company doing rather bland computer work. Ever since I started _actually_ reading men’s magazines about five years ago, I couldn’t help to take an extra moment on the pheromone ads. My skepticism has up until now kept my curiosity at bay, however it seems as though the tables have turned. I spent 3 hours last night reading up on [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) and I’ll probably spend another 10 or so hours this week reviewing studies and personal stories. I’m interested in trying this stuff out. I didn’t realize until stumbling across this site that there are many different kinds of pheromones and that you can layer them for different mixes. I’m leaning towards buying a few togo bottles before plunging into full sizes. Instant shine and A314 seem to be favorites among many newbies and seasoned users. I think I’ll go with them and perhaps 2 others, any recommendations for a well rounded 4 pack sampler? - Tim ---

Wow, with all the reading you’re doing, you’ll probably be a phero veteran by _tomorrow_. 😛 Instant Shine and A314 are musts for the first time phero user, in my humble opinion. For the truly curious, I’d recommend [Instant Honesty](https://a314.com/product/instant-honesty/) (2x), because you’re **going** to get results. Some results may be surprising, to say the least! What did you want to achieve with pheromones? ---

Yes, Jasmin, very soon Tim might give us some good advices since he has a positive attitude the way I see it… Welcome aboard, Tim! God bless you. Mohammad 🙂 ---

If you want well rounded I suggest adding [Instant Honesty](https://a314.com/product/instant-honesty/) and Androstenone to your pack. Instant Honesty (IH) and Instant Shine (IS) are more of the “comfort” pheremones whereas A314 and Androstenone are darker or more intense in different ways. ---

Instant Honesty (Instant Honesty) and Instant Shine (IS) are more of the “comfort” pheremones whereas A314 and Androstenone are darker or more intense in different ways. Yes, go with TUTH (which is a androstenone based product). It’s a sexual product. I would also recommend IFM (I always do 😃 ). It’s great for dealing with women. ---

There are so many good ones here. Besides the ones mentioned already (and Jasmin is an expert here) I’d look at both Ammunition for an “all-purpose” product, and [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) if you like to get conversations rolling. The “To Go” line is a very good place to start. As said many times, it will take some in the field experimentation to get to know the products (start one at a time) and how to use them. I’ve been at it about 2+ years and am still learning. ---

> [@Jasmin](#): > > What did you want to achieve with pheromones? Sorry for not getting back sooner, tis the season for family. I have no expectations so to answer you’re question I’m not entirely sure what I’d like to achieve. As I learn the effects of these products my goals will most certainly develop. Ultimately however, I’d like to have more confidence in all areas of my life. ---

Mones like A314 may help improve confidence, but ultimately, it is up to you. I would also recommend instant honesty. I find it inspires more honest, straightforeward, open communication rather than making people spill the beans. I love the effect! You need to try a few mones, and try them each for a while under different circumstances. The effects won’t be obvious at first, but eventually, it will hit you over the head like a sledgehammer! You’ll be like, “OHHH!!! So _THAT’S_ what it does!”
