I think the compliment on scent is just an opener which is partly inspired by the actual pheromones.
If the stealth formulas in themselves are good (so far what I have tested is) then those affected will find another opener. They may compliment you on something else or talk about the weather. It can be a number of things. Remember every one is not great at opening. They may feel attraction and still feel nervous but the mones sort of influence them to try so they could just ask a simple question just trying to break the ice. I find when I use any mone really the ratio of silly questions people tend to ask me go’s up. Its really them just trying to detain me and get my attention.
The thing I noticed with the stealth mix I tried MX435 (TAA) is a lesser range of distance and sillage but within close proximity its seems to work the same to slightly better then the original at evoking feeling. However there is something missing in the translation of those feelings they get.
I agree it does have a mild scent in the bottle, mine did at least. Its very light fresh and pleasant. On the body though it seems to disappear. I cant speak about the FF line because its not in our products but as far as neroli I do cover with a scent sometimes. I wear scents anyways and neroli blends with just about anything without coming across as cloying.
I do think scent is part of what forms the connection in peoples minds. Its like the bridge from just feeling something and feeling something about someone when it comes to pheromone communication. So I would definitely wear a scent with it regardless. Certain scents combined with mones can enhance there affects. Take pink sugar for example. This scent has a power all its own but combined with mones its practically a sure thing. People just gravitate towards you. They want to bask in your scent and in doing so they inhale deeper and more often thus they inhale more mones. They can also subconsciously pinpoint better.
Its my opinion there is a reason nature made us give off actual scent. Scent aids in more then just diffusion, sillage and attraction. Its how we pinpoint and track what is stimulating our emotions.
For instance take light for example >>>>
We use our sense of sight to pinpoint where light is coming from. We dont consciously think of it though. Turn that light off and how can you pinpoint it.
A more crude example. Someone passes gas quietly and usually if the situation was not awkward you could pin point exactly who it was by scent alone. You may feel grossed out, uncomfortable and uneasy or whatever but you pinpoint it to the person who did it and consciously what it is and process it.
However if someone passes gas and you dont smell it it could trigger a whole different response. You could feel those feeling but not be able to pinpoint why so you would have to process it without all the pertinent information.
The sense of smell is not the sense of smell without scent. Those who lose there sense of smell dont actually lack the ability to smell things. They lack the ability to process that smell which is why they cant connect with others well. There is purpose in scent in my opinion.
I feel the stealth products would be a good alternative for those with scent sensitivities or work in environments where they can not wear a scent at all which is a small percentage of users.
For me I am going to choose scented or cover the stealth with a scent that produces good sillage and diffusion and niot just evokes emotion but forms that connection to me.
