In my personal experience, there are a ton of pheromones that are good for blunting the alarm reactions. Please note, however, that not everyone, or even most people, will have the same reactions that I do. Testing is still the name of the game, and your reactions will most likely be unique to you.

P74 - harmonious  
Androstenol - Alpha and Beta - social, encompasing  
Androsterone - protective and loving  
EST - protective and loving  
P86 - lovely, sedating  
P87 - blunts _all_ emotional response  
P91 - thoughtful, harmonious, loving  
TAC - body harmony  
TAH - sweet  
P102 - sedating, body harmony  
P103 - sedating, body harmony

There are a lot that are potential irritants that may ramp up alarm. Any of the pheromones that give us that extra “energy” push, I think has that potential.

Androstenone - irritant and fighting, can cause anxiety attacks in some women and some men  
TAA - OD, can cause anxiety  
P74 - OD, can cause anxiety  
P80 - protective, but physically excitatory  
P84 - amphetamine-like  
P90 - energy  
P100 - amphetamine-like  
P107 - amphetamine - like  
TAF - in a certain small portion of people causes fight or flight, and can cause visual alarm/jumpiness
