I tried pherlure before i came here. And stumbled across this whilst researching reviews ect. I got mild hits of it and loved pheromones because of how it gives you an edge over competition. and i have ordered your pheromones twice with only 1 week of using them ---

I tried Axe long time back, but with no expectation of seeing any effects that they showed in commercials. I always truly believed it was just a marketing thing…afterall who wants to see a guy wearing cologne and sitting in his office at his desk all day in a commercial! 😛 So I had zero expectations and zero pheromone effects. When I tried my first [pheromone product](https://a314.com/shop/), APC, however I had huge expectations…I did get some results with it, enough to sustain my interest and seek out better products! Next was PI, NPA, SOE etc. but not until I tried A314 that I actually realized a pheromone product can be that effective! Every other pheromone product suddenly started to show better results when combined with A314. Sorry for the ramble…😛 I dont’ understand why you are asking this question though.😕 🙂 ---

Hi I tried Pherlure, relatively poor product from the testing I did with it. –\> I decided that I wanted to try the real deal and find out once and for all if they worked or not –\>I like real pheros better since they actually work 😉 Secondly they dont make bogus claims so you can work with them better –\> I think I ordered 3 times but I was obssessed with them, so thats my excuse! ---

Never used Axe or Tag I did order Pherlure. Wife liked the scent but no effects other than “you smell nice.” I tried pheromones because I had done a lot of reading about them and realized their potential. My first reason was really to smooth things out at home - help with my wife’s moods. She too has a high stress job and sometimes that stress gets to her and she comes home in a bad mood. Why be unhappy when pheromones - something along the lines of advanced aromatherapy (which most people are cogniscant of) can help lift that mood. It may not fix whatever problem caused the bad mood, but you don’t need to dwell on it all night and eat you up emotionally for the next several hours. And maybe if you are in a better mood you can either put the problem into better perspective or better yet, come up with a positive solution - something you may not have been able to do with all the stress and negative thoughts/emotions. Pheromones are much better than cologne. Once you figure out how the pheromones work with your body chemistry at particular doses they actually help you steer work and social relations in positive directions. And I do not mean manipulate people - that is evil. I do not believe the pheromones manipulate or help you to manipulate people. Manipulation is something else entirely - more along the lines of emotional/psychological and sometimes physical. I do mean that the pheromones are a kind of social lubricant. And once you know how it works you can use positive interactions to achieve positive results. Because if you do nothing, chances are nothing will happen even when wearing pheromones. The pheromones only grease social interactions. Not social INaction. And as several users point out, if you are ina negative mood, they ofet amplify that also. So one of the key words here is POSITIVE. Attitude, intentions, actions, conversations. You cannot do the same no matter how “nice” you smell. That is why Tag, Axe and Pherlure are essentially ineffectual as “social lubricants” because they do - nothing. Other than smell nice. [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) on the other hand actually promotes conversations if YOU take the intitiative to get them rolling. She may say “gee you smell nice” when wearing pherlure but that would only be because she was looking for an excuse to talk to you anyways. The pherlure did not assist anything, it was merely an excuse or crutch. I ordered Pheromones from this site and LS right after I ordered Pherlure. And Jasmin and SteveO know the size of the orders I make. Both sites had forums where you could read people posting results, how to use them, etc.. Very up front about everything. Great customer service. I immediately saw results with products from both sites and also realized the potential outside the house - with work and other social situations. Given Jasmin’s potential plans with Ammo, I think I understand why she is asking the question. Hope that in itself is not considered as skewing the answer. ---

I’ve used axe, tag, and even old spice. Its really just a deoderent that gets passed around the locker room so you dont smell like crap. Of course, this doesn’t sound good in a comersial, but hey, I dont think that most people buy into it. I mean, c’mon, a spray that you spray on yourself and you get more chicks? (hey, wait a minute…) Anyway, the only reason I found pheros was because of an infamous site called [Pheromone](https://a314.com/) Review Site or somthing. A little more searching and I found this site. I haven’t gotten pheros yet, but look forward to. ---

> [@Jasmin](#): > > –\> What made you try pheromones after you tried Axe, Tag Body Spray or Pherlure. I tried Axe because it was cheap as hell when I went to Cosco. Never occured in my mind that it’d be a chick magnet like the commercial claims. I don’t like Axe because of its smell. Never tried Tag (sorry). Pherlure was given to me by one of my friends, who thought he was getting some but wasn’t. Pherlure never got me the results that it was “suppose to,” which led me to research more about pheromones as the pherlure website claims that pherlure is a [pheromone product](https://a314.com/shop/). > [@Jasmin](#): > > –\> How you like pheromones better (or not, if you don’t). It works! But as I delve deeper into advanced products, I find how complex this subject really is (subconscious mind, mcgs, women, etc etc… I think my head is about to explode). > [@Jasmin](#): > > –\> If you’ve ordered pheromones at least twice within the first month of using them.

Well, I use Axe as my standard Deodorant. A few of the varieties smell rather nice. I can’t say I ever had any expectation that they would actually attract girls though. I figured that was just their marketing gimmick. I just figure that they keep me from being stinky, and smell decent on their own. I almost tried pherlure, but while researching whether or not it actually works, I found this forum. I’m very glad I did find this place because I rather like many of the pheromones I’ve tried. So much that I did in fact place two orders over the course of a month. Pheromones are nice largely because of the self effects they provide me. I love the A314 feeling of being the most important man in the room. Instant Shine really does put a smile on my face and make the stress melt away. [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) really does make me a bubbly and chatty. I can’t say I use them specifically to change peoples reactions towards me, but I enjoy it when they do. I’ve tried most of the Instant products, and a smattering of the experimental mixes and putatives. I’ve definitely been convinced to stick around. ---

I have axe in my shower and use it on a daily basis. I’ve got the Snake peel (need the exfoliation on my arms and feet but I don’t want to get odd looks when buying real exfoliation cream), recovery and touch scents body washes, phoenix deodorant, phoenix/clix body spray. I’m pretty familiar with their product line. I tend to shy away from the Touch body wash as it is a bit too spicy for my tastests. Snake peel doesn’t have much of a scent to me, and recovery has a citrusy scent. Tag: I’ve got after hours body spray. I barely use it. it smells dingy. I equate it like what you would find if you rung out an athlete’s dirty socks after a game. Phelure: I Love the scent, but there aren’t any head-turning results you would find from real pheromone colougnes. If this were available as a copy-cat scent that one might find in target or something like that, for a fraction of the price (that crap is expensive for its volume) I would most assuredly pick it up and use it to complement A314 or the like. Pheromones: I’ve recently ordered Instant shine and turn up the heat in to-go bottles as trial runs, mainly for experimentation. They should be here in a few hours. ---

I tried pheromones because I thought you were the hot babe on the Smartmones website and I felt compelled to order them! 😮 And after I heard your sexy voice on the phone, I was majorly TAJ’d into buying everything in sight!!! 😮 😮 Ok, seriously 😃 - I tried pheromones first before I tried Axe. My first product was Athena 10X, which worked remarkably well and erased any doubts that pheromones work. As my interest grew, I found and purchased other products such as Chikara, which also worked quite well. I started looking for cover scents after I started using Chikara along with none products, and I read somewhere that Axe Kilo had a scent very similar to Chikara, so I started using the two together. - I absolutely love pheromones more than Axe or any other supposed attraction enhancing commercial product. Axe has no noticeable effects whatsoever, whereas you would have to be blind not to notice some of the more blatant IOIs and effects that pheromones produce. - The Athena 10X comes in a little bottle, and the pheromones are supposed to be mixed with cologne. As the resulting cologne mix could last for a year, there was no need to re-order within the first month (plus given the price of Athena 10X, it was a very expensive item to purchase more than once in a while). However, once I moved to Androtics, I have had periods where I ordered at least twice a month. I blame you Jas! I couldn’t stop buying every time you said “But wouldn’t you just looooove to have TAx or Pxx too?” 😮 😛 ---

I only tired the real deal here because of my skepticism of pherlure. I made my first order a few days ago and thus far I’ve had positive reactions. I don’t think you can compare Axe with the pheromones as they both have different applications (One’s a mood influencer and the other a simple cologne/body wash). I have used Axe, their colognes were so-so as it smelled cheap. Their body wash was actually pretty decent, but I think the price per once is not worth it. If you’re comparing price to value outright, the pheromones thus far have won. ---

I regularly used Pherlure b4 finding Androtics. I found it was good for getting me IOIs as you guys call it - I called it interested glances. The younger the girl the more interest. To the point where it got me unwanted attention from the odd school girl (territory you don’t want to get into). But Im now not sure whether this was Pherlure on them, or maybe just my confidence being boosted by something in Pherlure? Maybe even placebo. 😉 I seem to be a rarity - having never come across anyone else rating Pherlure at all. Course I wouldn’t buy it now unless Androtics went bust or something!😮 The responses were not nearly half as strong as what I get from Androtics products and I have yet to sue the strong stuff here. I have ordered within 1 month of my 1st purchase and should shortly receieve my fist ever TUTH, CTTM2, TAA, AMMO. For social use, thought not all at the same time of course. 😃 I REALLY wanted to order MX 135 but it was out of stock on the day i ordered and I thought it would take a while to come back…SOB! But saw it back In stock the day after… ☹☹☹ Having initially ordered A314, [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/), Openness and SOE (don’t use anymore). The above primarily fro work situations. good results so far. Jasmin - I still haven’t seen the introductory $15 off ‘copon’/code, inspite of 2 IMs to Steve O - has he fallen asleep? 😛 If so, pls give him a nudge. I want MX 136 and after reading Visionary’s excellent experiment spreadsheet, a couple of other things too…I’m not moving too quickly am I guys? ---

Axe, I think it was called pheonix. I used to get huge hits from that, certain girls(on repeating basis) would litterally jump on me just taking huge wiffs. It wasn’t very good, it was GREAT. Tag, sucks. Pherlure, I’m not sure, but probably no hits. I didn’t really know what to look for back then to be honest. ---

Yo party people; I was studying Athena 10x first. I saw it in the back of Popular Science and I assumed that since Popular Science - a respectable science resource - has put it as part of its adds, it must be good. Well, when I went to lookup the reviews(as with everything I buy over $50 or the internet), I found people talking about Pherlure. Then I began to search Pherlure and the battle posts between it and Athena 10x. I found a lot of on and offs about it. Then looking at one post, I found that people made concoctions with Pherlure or Athena. So then I typed in concoction mixes and found this site. However, I stayed looking at only that page for a day or two. Then I decided to explore PheroTalk and browsed the SmartMones store. Which led me to joining the forum instead of being a leecher. And here I am now, ordering Androtics products first. I have learned a lot from this forum, and that is why i trust them. Just having a .com website set up with claimed experiences posted is not enough, because it is too professional. One needs to let the regular users, like people on this board, to let out their personal feelings. I also still use AXE, and Old Spice body wash. But, only as a deodorant body spray and after a shower. I use it to get compliments not to ring in other people like Androtics products. I never thought of it as doing what they show. Because, they are products made by huge corps that cut cost and over elaborate their marketing. I mean c’mon, from those advertisements, everybody would be hooked up and there would be nobody single, unless they wanted to be?! 😉 ---

Yo party people; I was studying Athena 10x at first. I assumed that since Popular Science -a respected technology source- picked it up as an advertisement, then maybe it worked. So i went online to look up their reviews and I found about how expensive it is. Then in the process of that, I found many people referring to the product Pherl. While reading reviews on Pherl., I found many yay’s/nay’s and many battle posts between it and Athena 10x. Too many people were saying no to it, because of the product, the service, or even the companies slight shadiness itself. While studying that, many people on other boards were talking about the mixes that they put Pherl. in. So I went online and typed in pheromone concoctions and I found a thread in this site. For a couple days, I only read that thread. But that led me to the S-pheromones store, which enticed me to join the Phero Talk Forum. I stayed being a leecher on the site, until I read enough to want to buy some. This is dedicated to a line of products that do what they need, they don’t bring people in your life, but they slide your foot in the door, so you can have more! I have learned much more technical terms and information on this board than any other boards that referred to Pherl. or Athena. I still do use AXE and Old Spice Body Wash. However, I use this just to cover my body scents up, after a shower. I use it to get compliments not to ring in other people like Androtics products. I never thought of it as doing what they show in advertisements. These products are so you can smell better if you do encounter other people. And they come from large companies that have to cut costs and have over emphasizing marketing departments, that will say damn near whatever. Just having a .com website set up with claimed experiences posted is not enough, because it is too professional. One needs to let the regular users, like people on this board, to let out their personal feelings. These mass made products are great for going on with your daily life, not improving it.
