Kind of a “newbie” post, but we all start somewhere, right?
I’m totally fascinated that this world of pheremones is verifiable and people are getting astounding results from them. I think this may become my new professional hobby!
I have surfed this vast forum over the past 3 days absorbing what I could and I’m learning lots, but there are some points of confusion that perhaps you could help answer.
I’m a pretty curious and comprehensive person by nature when it comes to learning things. I like to learn all I can - immersion.
And pheremonology (is that the right word?) is highly fascinating to me. I now often wonder if those inexplicable crushes I had on some people were the results of my olfactory system twitching in response to some “laced” perfumes… ![]()
If this is true, then the implications are truly staggering. But I’ll get to that in another post.
My questions revolve around the Putatives (items that start with “P” I presume, like P91 or something) and the MX items. There are so many of them!
Here are my questions:
- What do they all DO? Lol - I don’t expect a comprehensive answer to that in this thread since there are so many of them, but is there some centralized “Bible” or reference I can go to in order to understand what all of the different “potions” do?
Many of the items in the store don’t have a description of what they do (not complaining, just curious as to why). Reading through all of the posts and blogs has left me bewildered, overwhelmed (in the best of ways, I love feeling those emotions) and totally fascinated by this whole thing.
- What is the main difference between the prefixes “P” and “MX” ?
- Are the Ps and MXs in the higher numbers typically “upgrades” of lower numbered versions? If so, is there a way to cross-reference them?
- Similar to 3 above - are all the P##s really just subtle variations on the same basic formula? Same question for MX###s.
- What is the significance of “micrograms”? I noticed that some putatives have 2.5 mcgs all the way up to 5000 mcgs. May sound silly, but why is this important? I assume it has to do with concentration of the pheremone itself or it’s relative intensity. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
- In tandem with #4 above, why would I want to spray 5000 mcgs on myself, or should this be used in conjunction (split up, perhaps) with other mixes? I don’t want my entire city having a gigantic orgy a la Perfume, the Story of a Murderer if I spray it on myself*.* (Come to think of it, that might not be so bad if the Swedish women’s volleyball team is nearby…
) - Do the pheremones affect you, the wearer, in the same way it affects others? Take TUTH, for example. It’s supposed to make others horny. Does it turn you on as well? I understand this may be worn by men more than women, so I presume that it is targeted toward activating the libido in females. However, I’m curious if it also gets the male protagonist worked up. (Feel free to describe other mones that have an effect on the wearer, not just TUTH).
My uneducated guess would be “it depends.”
This science/art is one of the most fascinating topics I’ve come across in recent years. It’s amazing to me that a simple smell on a human being can be used to influence behavior in such a profound manner. Sure, I always knew it was a predominant factor in the animal kingdom, and humans are part animal - BUT - based on what I have read so far, I never knew it could have this much of an effect. Always thought it was just hocus pocus marketing.
Kind of making me rethink a few instances in my own life when I had sudden urges or attraction to people I wouldn’t normally consider my type. Freaky!
Thanks for taking the time to read and answer! I look forward to your thoughts.
