I just thought I throw this one out to get some feedback on what people thought.
Just wondering if the pheromones we use and like say anything about our personality, our strengths, weaknesses…
Ideas…comments?..Siren
This thread may be a start in that direction:
I imagine that people either want to
- draw out something from themselves that they feel is lacking or somewhat weak in them,
or to - enhance a trait that they already have quite a lot of, because they like the way it works for them naturally, and so wish to boost it artificially.
I can certainly say that I prefer a beta-androstenol heavy mix to an alpha-androstenol heavy mix, I’ve never been much of a “social butterfly” and like the connection I am getting with people from the betanol. But I still like my IO - just as part of a combo with a bit more depth to it.
The way I have personally reacted to certain pheromones tells me quite a bit about myself. Particularly -none, which I am appreciating more and more as I continue to wear it. It hasn’t turned me into a sex maniac or caveman or anything, rather it has helped me feel there’s nothing wrong in asserting myself as a guy who is interested in women, in the right social contexts of course. But I’m still me, perhaps with more of an edge or something.
I followed the quote and took the test. It was very interesting. It hit the nail on the head. I always felt like the alien and this explains why. Not to many people on this Earth with my personality type.
Reps to you…Thanks!!
P.S.- I found that I had an INTP personality- Rational/Architect.

I feel that more than anything, combos show more on personality than individual pheromones. I prefer Instant Honesty over Instant Openness. Like ntk, I like the deeper connections. I like p79 because it’s just raw, and animalistic. But I don’t like -none as much. I appreciate it for what it is, but I choose to avoid it. -rone is nice as it’s centering and refined confidence.
Basically, my mixes sort of lean towards creating a strong emotional connection with an equally strong ‘drive’. I like duality. Come under the radar and then blam hit em with a surprise they never saw coming. 
I like combos. My favs are IS/A with Instant Openness; MX235 with Instant Openness; & MX274 with Instant Openness. I have tried Instant Shine without any success so far (I am up to 5 sprays & no effects yet). I really don’t like Instant Honesty. It makes me very emotional & reactive (so not like me) Basically it goes against my grain and makes me feel uncomfortable. I am always willing to experiment but I cannot wear it to work. I work at a law firm supervising a decent load of employees & I have to keep a cool and rational head at all times. I cannot wear it socially because it makes me feel too vulnerable. So I am scratching this one off my list.
Ah, a fellow INTP … my first post here on my MBTI with a bit of a funny story is here (link). You work at a law firm? That should be a great fit for you … I’m curious to know if you specialize, for example, in appeals or in “breaking new legal ground” … or if your field is intellectual property.
Interesting question.
I had to think about it. I like attention LOL From both males and females so my combos tend to lead more toward bonding and friendship. I am also a very sexual individual ( I dont mean sexy) I mean I am sexually open and expressive so my combos also lean in that direction as well.
I like IH over IO for the deeper connection
I like both IS/A and IS/B but A is my favorite due to my dominant personality.
I like P74 for its bonding
But the one product I almost always choose without much thought is Ishine.
Thing is my personality changes with the wind and some days I may feel like going more sexy while other days more bonding.
All in all it all comes back to one thing for me. I like attention, I like to give it and I like to get it. LOL

Yeah I am INTP too. I think the proportion of INTPs on a forum like this is probably way higher than in the population at large. And just, in general, the personality types who like to try out new and cutting-edge things like pheros.
Hello MarkL:
No nothing so lofty. The firm I work for specializes in immigration law. I am not an attorney. I use to be the executive secretary but was recently promoted to general manager so I run the place. I will not be staying here for long for I am working on a PhD in Spanish/ESOL. As soon as I graduate I am seeking employment at a college or university teaching Spanish and/or ESOL. This is a transitional job as far as I am concerned. I do enjoy this job and if I was younger I would have gone to law school. Unfortunately law school is age prohibited for me. I may act and look 10-12 years younger than my age but the fact remains that I am 50+.
P.S.–Your story was funny…LOL!!!
