I just got my bottle
yesterday, this is a very unique scent. Unfortunately having only wored it once my g/f doesn\'t like it,
complaining is too strong and it smells old. Therefore I am willing to sell it to anyone here for a cheaper price.
If you are interested and live in the U.S just PM me, Thanks.

Sheesh, you give up too
quickly! Dilute it, spread it around, let it sit on you for a bit before you decide to pawn it off. As most people
here have noticed, the scent tends to \"evolve\". This stuff is too unique to dismiss it so soon. Experiment! Thus
is the way of pheros (and Pheros) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I would have your
girlfriend rub a few drops on each wrist and ask her to just try it for a while. I\'ll bet you that by the next
day she\'s not going to want to lose that bottle!!!

Since the issue came up first here, I should comment that diluting it in filtered water or
distilled water is totally cool. You don\'t need alcohol. I sometimes dilute it to make aftershave or a body
splash. I have heard of a couple of people liking it better that way, BTW. Honestly, I only made it as strong as I
did to make it last longer after the beta phase feedback. I originally had been wearing Pheros myself with at
least 25% more water. But you have to wait a half hour before it settles down to get a feel for it anyway. If you
were adventurous, you could even try adding a little witch hazel after diluting it to really make it into a more
theraputic aftershave. (I\'ve never tried this, BTW, But I was planning on it, as I was hopeful the witch hazel
wouldn\'t ruin the scent.) To make a true aftershave, you might even dilute it more. (I haven\'t experimented
enough to find the exact \"dilution sweet spot\" for making aftershave with it)

The smell is really great stuff, but seems to be better when it
is spread out more, so just put unscented lotion on top of your dabs and spread it around. Then wait some time and
ask her what she thinks.
I\'m glad though the scent was made as concentrated as it was, otherwise we\'d be
paying for more water and alcohol.

Doc, I\'ve been doing something similar.
I\'ve been diluting it with some Aloe gel and spreading it all over, the scent spreads out nicely and tones down
just enough so that it is really enjoyable and not overpowering at all. I don\'t know if the Aloe itself does
anything to interact with the formula of Pheros, but so far it is working out pretty well.

Good
idea. How bout natural aloe vera gel pacs? Maybe it would be too expensive, but it sounds like a good idea. I\'ve
also used it with scentless face lotion, to take away the lotion smell.

I\'ve
never seen the aloe gel packs, just have a tube of \"pure aloe vera fragrance free gel\" that I picked up for like
three bucks. I\'m sure there is better quality stuff out there. I like the fact that this stuff has no scent of
its own, so it dilutes scented products very nicely, unlike lotions that have that \"lotion smell\". Could you
give me a link to the natural aloe vera gel packs that you have in mind, if they are a particular kind? I don\'t
know much about aloe at all.

I think he was referring to the idea of making aloe vera gel packets, like
the gel packets for SOE.
I am surprised you found aloe vera gel without a scent.
I have a huge bottle of it
and it has a fairly strong smell that could not mix with anything. It is 99.9 aloe vera, is yours pure or is it gel
with like 10 percent aloe vera in there?

Ah I see...well mine is a cheap thing that says \"100% GEL\", but im guessing it isn\'t 100% aloe. The
ingredients start off with aloe vera gel and then go into a bunch of preservatives and stablizers like
triethanolamine, tocopheryl acetate and other stuff i have no idea of. I should probably invest in a good natural
aloe gel, anyone know of any?
I have the
lilly of the desert brand which is sold all over.
I don\'t ever really use it

Don\'t buy aloe gel without preservatives and stabilisers, it needs them. The active
components degrade without them.
