Forgive the question I
didn't see it under the search results.
I have seen ads on the internet for Pherlure, anyone know if this is
any good? Right now I have Alter Ego and Scented Eros, haven't noticed too much difference with them, maybe I'm
not applying enough.
Thanks!

Yeah, last thing I want to do is
cause any trouble. LOL. I'm just looking for advice really, Alter Ego seems to be the best product I have but
looking for THE best product, if there is such a thing.

no such thing really as the best
product, because each one may work better for different people. I personally like AA314 and use it with AE. I've
been getting a lot of great results from those two combined.

I am generally very interested to
received tips about new (good) products that we could carry on Love Scent. The suggestion box is the place for
them. AND, it is standard procedure to delete the suggestions after they have been made note of so that competitors
do not pick them up, regardless of where they show up.
By the way, it is against forum policy to publicly
slam the forum, its moderators, or various policies, or even waste bandwidth discussing them. Posts like that are
going to get deleted. Complaints can be addressed by PM or email with any of the mods as long as they are
respectfully written.
Now on to the "suggestion" at hand, I've seen Pher-Lure come up a couple of times, but
I am getting 3-4 spam emails a day from those guys and in my mind that more or less takes them out of the running.
Sort of 2 strikes against them, but I'm interested to hear more if it seems to be a worthy product.

From what I can tell Bruce it
seems like it is only a real good scent that increases your natural mone intensity as well as any mones you have on.
Alone I have found it to do nothing so far.

maybe Pherlure is something like
APC, but APC has a great scent, which is why I buy it. haven't herd any good hits from it by itself.

Pherlure has produced results
for me in at least four women, one of which had a very low sex drive. The other three were highly sexed and all
three of them began giving major hits when exposed, without knowing I was wearing 'mones. I think the only thing I
didn't see was a butt presentation. The lower-sexed one was commenting on how I looked different somehow, and she
liked the new look, but she could not figure out what it was.
I told two of them it was pheromones and asked
what they were feeling. They both told me, without knowing eachother, the same thing: "It shuts down all thoughts
except thoughts about sex." These two, to this day, have never met or communicated.
The third zeroed in on
where I applied it and began kissing me there right in front of her boyfriend. I have also noticed definite
deference from some men, and in general a much more positive, open, and accepting response to me in general when I
wear it, applied to skin or clothes.
I also notice it boosts my mood, makes me much more self
confident.
I'm not thrilled with the marketing techniques of the company, though, and that's why I came
here. I'm testing TE now.

I'm 32 years old, freckled
caucasoid. I usually use 1 spray of Pherlure to my neck, but sometimes I use 2, one tomy shirt and one to my neck.
If I am feeling particularly naughty I apply one to my crotch and one to my neck.
I have APC, Pherlure and TE.
I have noted that TE covered by pherlure seems to be much less sexual than either one alone, oddlyenough, so until I
understand how TE works better, I am using them separately. I haven't used more than one spray of TE at a time
yet.

I can't say I
have had positive results with Pherlure by itself. I'm just a mone junkie and I'm always wearing more than one or
2 products at a time.
But there is something "Je ne sais quoi" about the scent of the women's version. I love
it! It's up there with my most favorite perfume! Coincidence --- or something more? I use it as a cover scent for
some of the other mones.

My thoughts
exactly, but I am interested if anyone else with positive results speaks up.
I scanned their site and
couldn't find anything to support claims that di-dehydroepiandrosterone is a pheromone. If a university study had
been done on this compound, I would have at least been able to find something other than comments on a marketing
site. The marketing attempt also includes the human VNO approach, which has been decidedly dropped from olfactory
research pursuits by any researcher who does not have a financial stake in making false claims about how pheromones
work.
Similarly, Winnifred Cutler (Athena products) originally claimed (early 90's) that
dehydroepiandrosterone was the active ingredient, before claiming the ingredients were secret, and would not be
divulged until she received her patent. No further word on her patent or the ingredients in the past
decade.
It is apparent that the folks at Pherlure are scamming everyone they can--just like many companies
who promote pheromone products. If any of you take a serious look at their links, and find anything they say to be
legit (supported by published scientific evidence or patent info) please let me/us know.
Perhaps I missed
something; but I doubt it. There has never been any indication that dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a pheromone,
much less supporting that two moledules of DHEA linked together: Di-DHEA would have pheromonal
properties.
Are there other marketing "strangers" out there that would like to debate
this?

I'm not distributing Pherlure
- yet. I'm just doing personal testing to see which pheromone products I am going to be distributing come the
opening of my webstore. And I honestly don't know that di-dehydro-epiandrosterone is a pheromone or what... but I
can only conclude what my eyes see when it comes to results. I am sure some of what I have said is hard to believe,
and my status as newcomer doesn't help my credibility, but I'm not interested in selling the stuff when I make the
comments I do about it. I'm just reporting what I have experienced. And everything I have said is
true.
The fact is, even if it had no effect on anyone else, I'd still be wearing it because:
1. I
really like how it smells, and
2. It affects my mood. It gives me a lot more confidence than I usually have.
And I don't think that's a placebo effect because when I have worn only TE or APC, I have no such
response.
I'm planning to be a reseller for Love Scent products, since I admire the open, honest approach
Bruce uses. Pherlure's parent company uses advertising methods I don't particularly like or respect, but then
again, I have personal experience with results from their product. Not sure if I am going to resell it, but only
because I think their marketing methods are sleazy.
So, for those of you who are skeptical of my comments and
statements, I can respect that. But again, as I said... I can only relate to you what I have seen with my own
eyes.
And by the way, about the woman who started kissing my neck out of the blue, I believe I mentioned
she's been trying to get with me for the last three years. It wasn't a cold turkey hit from a complete stranger.
And yes, not only was her boyfriend watching, but so was her son, and the mother of her son's child, and a small
group of other people.
Yes, it really happened. But it wasn't a cold turkey hit by far - although there
was no alcohol involved.

Hello....I am
relatively new to this site, and to pheromones in general. My first "pheromone experience" was with Pherlure, when
my good friend you all know as Catlord17 let me sniff his bottle. I can assure you, it definitely works! Lol. At
least, it certainly had an effect on me. Smelling his pherlure is what got me interested in pheromones, and what
prompted me to place an order here- and already i am hooked and buying more! Heheh.
Anyway, just wanted to
share my experience and say hi and all. I have really been enjoying reading through the forums.....i think
pheromones are fascinating!

As fascinating as pheromones are, there still are criteria for
marketing products. In this case, the marketers tell us what's in it--a point in their favor, but only if someone
else (preferably a researcher) has indicated that Di-DHEA is a pheromone. The claim that it acts via the VNO is
ridiculous, but expected of marketers who have no idea what they're talking about. So far, only the pheromones
patented by Erox/Pherin corp. folks have been shown to act on the VNO, and the studies that showed this action have
been called into question by the vast majority of olfactory researchers. Di-DHEA is not mentioned in the context of
a pheromone in any peer-reviewed literature, so who decided to call it a pheromone?
University tested in
another marketing buzz word, but if you try to find out anything about this "University testing" you find nothing
but a claim that it was university tested. Nothing to back up the claim.
It's troubling to see Forum
members fall for such a blatant marketing scam.

It's not a matter of falling for a scam, James...
Honestly I don't care if it's a pheromone or not - all I can say is, however and whyever it works, it has the
intended effect. Believe me, I was aware of the BS advertising when I ordered it. I'm responsible for doing the
advertising of my company, and I know what to look for because I have studied the advertising styles of a lot of
different companies. Theirs screams BS. That's why I was so surprised when it worked. But instead of believing
what I saw at their website, or what someone else told me, I decided to try it for myself and see with my own two
eyes. That is to say, I'm a skeptic by nature.
Interestingly, thus far, the only other product I have
tried that seems to have a similar effect is SOE... which if I remember correctly, was formulated by you!

Hey everyone,
I think
I'll add my 2 cents here as well on Pherlure. I was skeptical at first so I decided to try just 1 bottle since I
heard from a very credible source that Pherlure did indeed work. When I got the bottle I went to a university
bookstore nearby and gave myself a couple of sprays before I walked in and I immediately got the DIHL look from an
extremely hot, tall, cosmo magazine European looking babe who was on her cell phone walking around and talking but
always coming back in my direction and there was definitely ALOT of eye contact between us! I got this same reaction
along with compliments on how I smelled from some other women as well but not from every woman who was near me when
I wore it. It's been my experience that there is definitely something to Pherlure. Anyway, I went ahead and ordered
some more because I was so impressed with the first bottle. BTW, I used it stand alone with no other fragrance to
cover it up and it has a nice scent which seemed to project very well and not dissipate too quickly. When I got my
second order in though I took a bottle and went to field test it and I got no hits at all after wearing it over the
course of a couple of days - also there was a difference in the strength of the scent; it wasn't as strong or as
long lasting, so what I did was to mix the rest of that bottle with APC and for some reason I started getting the
looks and smiles again so I have to say that for some reason it is hit or miss. (Now, mind you that the APC I mixed
it with was 4 years old still in a sealed bottle that I never opened.) I do know that APC alone did not get me many
hits at all except for one girl I was making out with one time who told me that my scent was turning her on. I mixed
Pherlure with Realm with no results and I also tried it with Jovan Musk and the Pherlure pretty much killed the
scent of the musk and once again no results with that combo. I also wonder if pheromones effect a woman differently
at different times of the month for her. I am a newbie who has just ordered some of Bruce's products to see what
effect they will have when I mix them with Pherlure. I'm hoping to come up with a great mix and if so I'll share
it with the forum. Let me say also that even though I am new to this forum that I have no connections to the company
that makes Pherlure and that this has been my honest experience with it.

What I don't understand is
how it could work for the first bottle and not work for the second... those are some odd results.
In my case, if
I mix it, it seems to work less well. Mixing with TE produces much less response for a much shorter period of
time.
Still no sign that TE is getting me hits by itself, though... I'm not sure if I need more or what, still
using 1-2 sprays.
This report of the first bottle working and the second one not makes me wonder if maybe they
only ship active ingredient to new customers?

small bottle samples of the product to some experienced and reputable forum members to test and post their feedback.
And if it works we can get Bruce to sell it.

Hi,
To answer DCW's
inquiry, I would not have had any reason to mix it if the 2nd bottle worked as good as the first one did - this was
the reason I mixed it with APC because I got absolutely no hits with it stand alone at all but once I mixed it with
the APC I started to get results again close to but not exactly the same. To respond to catlord17 I was thinking the
same thing: that they may only put enough of the active ingredient in it to get a new customer to buy more and once
the customer does buy more they get a less effective product. Kind of like the old bait and switch game that
department stores used to use on customers. But they also offer a money back guarantee if you're not satisfied so
on the surface it wouldn't seem to make sense that they would do that if they had to refund people's money so I
really don't know what's up when it comes right down to it.

When I Googled
"Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone" the only result that I got that even looked like a clinical study was this:
http://www.wondersinscience.com/arch
ives/2005/0207/novelpheromone.html (http://www.wondersinscience.com/archives/2005/0207/novelpheromone.html)
Taken at face value, that abstract might lead one to conclude that
Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone, when applied to the skin over a 12 week period, would in fact raise plasma blood
pheromone levels and increase one's sexual attractiveness.
However, there may be those among you who, like
myself, DO NOT take things at face value. Even if you were willing to apply a product for several weeks to see
results, you may still have some questions. For instance, you might ask, "Why would a major research facility like
the University of Chicago conduct what would obviously have been a very expensive clinical study using a commercial
pheromone product rather than sourcing it from a reputable "Bio-Chem" supply company?"
Additionally you might ask,
"Why aren't the authors of that study credited on that abstract?"
I didn't know the answers to these
questions.
So I decided that the answers might be in the study itself.
Going to the "Search" option on this
page : http://socialsciences.uchicago.edu/ and entering
"Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone", I was disappointed to find that "Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone - did not match any
documents.", as you can see here:
http://www.google.com/u/uchicago?q=Di-
Dehydroepiandrosterone&sa=Search (http://www.google.com/u/uchicago?q=Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone&sa=Search)
(If you're doubtful whether this search function accesses the scientific
database, try entering "pheromone" or just plain "Dehydroepiandrosterone" and you'll see that it does.)
Not
fully convinced that it may have been an oversight that this abstract had not been entered into the University of
Chicago's database, I ran the term "Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone" on a Google Scholar search":
http://scholar.google.com (http://scholar.google.com/) .
Again, "Your search -
Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone - did not match any articles. "
(http://sch
olar.google.com/scholar?q=Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&btnG=Search (http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&btnG=Search))
I then ran
several of the key phrases from the (alleged) abstract that appears near the top of this post through both the U of
C search and Google Scholar, and still didn't come up with any hint that this study, or in fact ANY study on
"Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone" was ever conducted.
So, as it so often happens in the pursuit of truth, I find
myself puzzled by even MORE questions than I started with. Does Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone actually exist? Is it
conceivable that a pheromone company would concoct a bogus abstract to try to promote their product?
But the
bottom line question on this forum would of course be, "Is Pherlure any good?"
My answer would be simple. I don't
know. I haven't tried it.
Oscar :)
Pherolover
12-08-2005, 09:26 PM
The only question I have left
is why does it get hits for me if there were absolutely no merit to it? There has to be something in it to get
myself and other guys hits. Maybe they are just not disclosing exactly what is in it for fear of other people
duplicating their formula and they are claiming some type of substance they have named "Di-dehydroepiandrosterone".
Just a thought...
Pherolover
12-08-2005, 09:46 PM
Just because you can't seem
to find any research on it nor can you explain why it does in fact get some people hits is no reason to write it off
as a scam. ALso just because I am new to this forum and hence a "stranger" is that any reason to discount my
experience and honest reporting of that experience with the product? Does your product constantly get hits for every
person who wears it 100% of the time? And how exactly can you call it a scam when in my experience it does get hits?
I may be new here but you seem to be rather condescending vs. trying it to see what your results are. Why not try
having a little respect for the experience of others and their right to post in the forum no matter what length of
time they have been in the forum.

There's really no point

bogus, so the product cannot possibly have any effect. To hell with empirical evidence! These "strangers" don't
know their heads from a hole in the ground when it comes to noticing people acting differently than normal around
them - never mind being able to detect effects on themselves.
I think that was the gist of it, anyway.
Besides, it's a competing product, so why bother discussing this further? My point in discussing it at all wasn't
to advertise someone else's competing product, but to share my experiences. Since I'm a fool for being so easily
scammed, I suppose I'll just have to keep my experiences with it to myself. Since my experiences have been very

to weed out personal opinions from people who want to believe before they see evidence. The problem is that even
scientists fall victim to the desire to fit everything into their pre-conceived model of How It Is. This is why we
have "breakthroughs" every so often where some poor genius gets credit for something big after he's dead - because
nobody in the scientific community wanted to listen while he was alive.
My experiences are not scientifically
valid unless I follow a rigid protocol, and I understand this. Not only that, but I have not had a long time to
test and re-test. However, as far as informal experiments go, I have made efforts to observe without influencing.
It seems to me that getting the exact same response from women who have never met or spoken with one another in
response to "What is your response to my cologne?" - without having ever been informed of the other's response - is
a point in favor of what they say being true. That's just one example. I've had a number of experiences that
really surprised me with Pherlure, mainly because I'm skeptical myself. But I'm also open minded. And after
having had the experiences that I have, my conclusion - until I see real life evidence to the contrary - is that it
has the desired effect.
So when I say I'll take my empirical data over "scientific data", I am not
disparraging science, as it may seem. I'm simply stating that I believe that anything viewed with a closed mind
cannot be seen as it really is. Scientists should approach things with an open mind and a neutral attitude, even if
they have a working hypothesis. This doesn't happen as much as it should probably, but c'est la vie. The fact
is, until we experiment, a lot, we don't know. If we don't know, we cannot reasonably draw conclusions. Have you
tested this stuff out in any of your own experiments, James? Honestly, I'd love to see you do some double blind
experiments where you monitored the body temp, heart rate, breath rate and brain activity of women and men while
they are experiencing pherlure, and for that matter, androstenone, androsterone, etc. That would be absolutely
fascinating.
It's really not worth arguing. If you see results, use it. If not, don't. I have nothing to
gain if you don't, and I really couldn't care less either way. I just would appreciate it if I wasn't looked
down upon for trying to add my two cents.

Pherolover and Catlord:
Lighten up. I agree that some of the posters here were unaccountably rude to you and for that I apologise on their
behalf. It's unfortunate that some people see the world through a very narrow tunnel and lack any form of manners.
At the same time, you will have to accept a large dose of scepticism. You come on the forum as a newbie with no
reputation here talking about something that nobody else knows about and that what little science can be found seems
to contradict you and expect people to take it at face value? That's a little unrealistic, isn't it? I hope you
didn't expect everybody to take it as gospel.
You want a suggestion? Do some semi-rigid tests and report the
results in a meaningful fashion. Don't make any claims just report results of tests. Give us more than a very few
personal experiences to work with. There are a lot of people here that will be willing to look at a product on those
terms without pre-judging it. You'll still get the nay-sayers but others will read the material with interest and
might even respond.

To be perfectly honest, the reason I
haven't given much thought to carrying the product is that I am drowning in spam email selling Pherlure. That is 2
strikes against it right there. If they are officially propounding misinformation that would pretty much seal it.
I haven't looked into it though, so I can't say if they are or aren't doing that, but every day I have to delete
a half dozen Pherlure spam emails from my inbox, is another day I don't check it out. On the other hand, we have
carried other low-phero products for years mainly because they smell very good and mix well with unscented
pheromones.

you shake your head in disbelief... the combination of brazen lies
and absurd stupidity... that creates a towering wall for an honest broker to climb, there are honest well meaning
vendors, all too often it is a case of Gresham's law, the bad will drive out the good... case in point here,
somebody might make decent product but the normal goodwill has been burned out by the liars, there is an epidemic of
shilling too, I even think now there are shill services, companies that patrol around for bulletin boards, amazon
postings, anything, and routinely saturate the discussions with ad copy disguised as personal opinion. I've sure
seen this happen on Amazon.com, where if you put up a negative but reasonable criticism of an author (particularly
in the self help or motivational genre) out of the blue there would be five or six reviews bursting with canned
enthusiasm, sufficient to push your commentary off the page. If you came back with another one another five of six
would magically appear within 2 days.... so it looks like there is a professionalised "astroturf" ( i.e. bogus
grassroots) public relations industry contaminating every business, not only this one.

.... so it looks
like there is a professionalised "astroturf" ( i.e. bogus grassroots) public relations industry contaminating every
business, not only this one.
Thanks for stating the obvious. I will add that there is a difference
between empirical evidence (contolled study not supported by anyone associated with unknown ingredients or a known
product--one that could potentially be replicated) and anecdotal evidence (it worked for me!). Nearly everything
that's posted to the Forum is anecdotal, but frequently the anecdotal evidence is supported by empirical data (at
least with SoE).
Here's an example of "anecdotal," no matter how much empirical data you may think supports
it.
http://dailynews.att.net/cgi-bin/news?e=pri&dt=051209&cat=frontpage&st=frontpage2020_pheromones_051209&
src=abc
The twin experience reported is from an uncontrolled experiment with a compound that still is
unknown (though Cutler herself said it's DHEA). Cutler has gotten more mileage out of this decade old scam than I
could ever have imagined. Then, out of the blue, someone did the same thing with SoE products in a broadcast "The
Aphrodisiac Test" which aired on the UK channel 5 November 10th. I had no idea why my site traffic increased
astronomically, and at first, was not pleased to learn of the "aphrodisiac" connection, since SoE products make no
claim of being aphrodisiacs. But do I mind the free advertising? Not too much.
I've made some contacts who
saw the show and were impressed when they looked at (and Love-Scent.com) to find that we're not
scamming anyone; there's empirical data to support everything I've said--and not all of it comes from me (like
Cutler's garbage). So, people are complimentary and repeatedly have said that my approach seems much more
reasonable compared to other product marketing scams that make most of Europe laugh at the concept of human
pheromones--because the concept has been bastardized by ridiculous marketing claims.
If I seem a bit harsh
with regard to the strangers, all of the above should be reason enough. At least a few of the long-term Forum
participants have done their homework, which is what I recommend the "strangers" do. Hopefully, the "strangers" will
realize the difference between marketing scams and what's going on here on the Forum (discussion of products and
results). It shouldn't take long to recognize the difference, and get rid of any "contaminants".
Pherlure
and Athena = marketing scam, SoE and other Love-Scent products = conceptualized from empirical data.
Of
course, I'm biased by the empirical data. That doesn't mean Forum members are likely to disregard it. But then,
they're not "strangers" either.

Now that you say marketing
scam, I am following you better, James. It is a marketing scam, even if you don't take into account the lack of
scientific data they claim to have. Just their advertising style is indicative of a marketing scam.
One thing I
have been contemplating, as a potential distributor, is how I responded to Love-Scent.com versus the Pherlure
website. Pherlure's website is obviously trying hard to control what information is available to the consumer, and
they keep a tight leash on it. That's frustrating when you try to find out more, as I did. But I purchased it not
because I was "taken in", but because I wanted to try it out for myself. I believe that if I am going to potentially
sell something, I should know about it, and I didn't want to sell something I did not know worked.
Now with
love-scent's products, I would probably not have bought what I have if there was not this forum. This forum speaks
volumes for the real value of what is being sold here. It says, "We know this is for real, and we don't mind
letting anyone who wants to discuss their experiences with it." That is why I decided to purchase from love-scent,
since some of the products were a bit more than I wanted to spend. I was impressed enough by the confidence this
forum shows in the product to be persuaded to buy regardless.
I have also been thinking that such a forum would
be good for my own web store when I open it.
Honestly, after having the experiences I have had from pherlure, I
don't know why they would be using scam techniques to sell the stuff, but maybe this is the prodct of a greedy
mind. I've noticed that greedy corporate types often put into effect practices that might produce gain in the short
term, but result in disaster in the long term. Would you guys have a different opinion of pherlure if they'd gone
about selling it in a more "normal" way, even without having tried it yourselves?
At this point, I'm pretty sure
I want to resell Bruce's offerings, but I'm still iffy on Pherlure, because their marketing methods balance out
the positive results I have had with it.
I'm not an astroturfer. Perhaps a little amazed at my results, and
maybe a bit enthusiastic to report them... but I'm not an astroturfer. I really wish I was getting the same sort of
results from TE, but so far I've had almost nothing in terms of response from TE alone, at one spray or two - at
least, nothing I cannot be sure wasn't a placebo effect. I'm sure it would help to do more tests in more
environments, and that's what I plan to do... I have seen what happens when a woman with an average or high sex
drive encounters pherlure with and without the influence of alcohol, but I have not had that opportunity with TE
just yet.
SOE I tried only once and I did notice results along the lines of women being much more talkative and
positive, similar to how my family members responded to Pherlure on this last Thanksgiving. If I can get consistent
results from SOE, it'll be worth every bit as much to me. Breaking the social ice is my downfall. Once it's
broken, I usually have quite the time. That seems to be the biggest, most consistent result I get from Pherlure -
people in general are more admiring, positive and open towards me.
I'm going to try to document my experiments
better and reproduce them. That should give me better ammunition for you guys. Any suggestions on how to do my
experiments?

I have gotten some results from it but it is usually hostility!! At best it gets me attention
but it totally throws me off my game cause girls are mad or vindictive or grabbing me! Its not like I am rude or say
anything at all or bring it on myself either....its out of the blue...and usually there is no reaction at all. I
have been bitten on my chest while wearing the stuff...a far cry from the uncontrolled smooching some strange girl
did to my neck when I had on ae!

Oh, so now you're reporting

I would
have to chalk your experiences up to a different phero signature. I know too much 'none makes people aggressive,
but what would too much Di-DHEA do? Is it a relative of androsterone? Have any sort of similar effect? I have not
tried to "OD" on pherlure, but I did spray it directly on my face once. It definitely caused me to become very
confident in myself. I only used one spray though.

I doubt the smell of fresh
baked bread or the smell of cinnamon rolls are pheromones, but they sure can change someones mood.
Does something
have to be technically classified as a pheromone to be able to induce a change in brain chemistry via the nose? I
dont think so.
This is not a black and white world; there are a lot of grey areas, and a lot of things we dont
know.
If it works, it works. Although I have no experience with this product.

Scent affecting mood usually has to do with memories associated with those scents. I had never
encountered the particular scent they use in Pherlure before I ordered this bottle. Therefore, no associated
memories.
Furthermore, my favorite cologne isn't far from the scent of pherlure. It does not produce any
emotional response in me that I know of. I just wear it because it smells good to me.
Whatever the active
ingredient in pherlure is, it has an immediate and pronounced effect on me and those friends of mine who have
smelled it. As I said before, I have had two women literally try to steal the bottle out of my hands after being
allowed to smell the sprayer (without knowing what it was).
There is always the danger of the
placebo effect. Pheromones are just one part of the equasion, attitude and how you carry yourself is another. One
may unconsciously primp and preen or carry themselves differently when "testing" a product. Or if nothing else, be
working harder at trying to find some evidence of the product's effectiveness.
I like to alternate between
prodcuts over time and in different situations to see if any firm pattern can be seen. It can take a frustratingly
long time, and so much is indeed subjective.
Ideally I suppose one should do a "double blind" type study,
including times when you don't wear any products and times when you wear something that "feels" (smells, applies,
etc) like a pheromone product but contains no pheromones at all. You'd need to enlist the aid of someone to make up
the various test vials and track the results for you.
Just some thoughts.
PS I love that term "astroturfers"
for fake grassroots opinions. Not heard that one before, but will be adding it to my lexicon.

Has anyone created a mix
using both the chem set androstenone and the chem set androsterone and if so what have your results been? I recently
received my order for these 2 mones and I will be mixing it with Pherlure to see what kind of response I get. I will
post my results here when they become available but I could use a little feedback if anyone has tried this (without
using Pherlure) as to amounts used, masking scents, additional mones, etc.
Pherolover
12-19-2005, 08:25 PM
To anyone who's
interested:
I mixed chem set Androstenone with APC and Pherlure and I've gotten hits from women in the form of
DIHL's, circling behavior, stares and sneaking peeks, and them smiling and striking up conversations with me. One
lady last night in a coffee shop even asked me to rub her back after a little small talk which I gladly did. I
notice that when I added the chem set Androstenone to the mix it took away from the strength of the scent of the APC
but it didn't seem to effect the results I got. When I mixed APC, AndrosteRone and Pherlure my results were a
little different. It seemed like the results I got were more of a warm nature with women who I've seen a number of
times who were previously cold or acted like I didn't exist acknowledging my presence and smiling at me warmly.
When I mixed Androstenone, AndrosteRone, APC and Pherlure together I got the most amazing nipple erection I've seen
in quite awhile! So much so that she had to cover her breasts with her arms as she talked with me and then she
immediately put on a vest which covered them entirely. Her nipples were rather big and I could sense her
embarassment too - her face totally blushed when she noticed that I noticed them getting hard. I also got a really
wierd response from one woman which was her initially staring at me a number of times but then when I looked at her
the last time I noticed her looking at me I smiled at her. When I did this she gave me this look that almost seemed
like she was thinking "How dare you smile at me!?!" It was almost like a condescending look - rather strange. This
was with a mix of APC, Androstenone and Pherlure.
what were your dosages of -none,
-rone, apc & pherlure when you got the nipple reaction?
Pherolover
12-19-2005, 11:44 PM
Hi Mick,
The dosages are
one half ounce of Pherlure and one half ounce of APC mixed together then 3 drops each of chem set Androstenone and
chem set Androsterone added in. I use an empty Pherlure bottle to carry the mixture in and I keep it on me at all
times.
catlord17
12-19-2005, 11:57 PM
Holy sh*t, a half OUNCE of
pherlure and a half OUNCE of APC? I would think three drops of the other two in that mix wouldn't even be worth
noticing! But the nipple response is very interesting... I think I'll have to try mixing APC with Pherlure at the
least.
I have noticed that when I mix Pherlure with 'none, the result is very warm and sensual, and much slower
to work, but more a sensual, smouldering effect.
What I'd like to know is... is the active incgredient in
Pherlure the same as CS androsteRONE?
Pherolover
12-20-2005, 04:02 PM
Yes, I definitely get hits
with just the Pherlure and APC (1:1) mixed together by themselves. I think I'll take your idea though and mix
Pherlure with -none and see what I get. What ratio did you use? I was wondering the same thing too about whether the
active ingredient in Pherlure is chem set androsterone since they say their active ingredient ends in -Rone. Another
experiment I'm going to try is adding Androstadienone with Pherlure to see what that mix gets me. I just got the
chem set Androstadienone today so I'll be playing with it the next few days and I'll post my
results!

Deer in hlight look, hair
twirling etc etc all fable signs...can be explained in a lot of ways. A DIHL can be a "damn this guy has a shitload
of cologne on" or a "hmm thats a wierd scent. What cologne is it" look.
Hairwirling can be nervousnes or stress. I
made the same mistake at first and looked too much. Everything i posted before is not sabstansial evidence and i
shouldnt have posted them. I was too excited.
Of course it could be the start of something or it could be
something but for me the real evidence is in change! I havent posted for a while not only because i figured the
above out but because i feel emotionaly happy now. I have wemen in my life! And THATS how i know the pheros i bought
more or less "enhanced" me. I date 3 pretty ladies and in fact i have difficulties which one to keep before i move
onto a serious relationship. Thats what i wanted when i first looked into pheros and thats what i got.
For me it
wasnt pherlure it was AE!
Note: I used pherlure for 2 weeks with no results, i used AE for 1 week and i met the
first of the three. Also the above is my honest oppinion...body language is known to meen something but i dont think
they must be used to prove the effectiveness of a product.
catlord17
12-21-2005, 05:30 AM
Pherolover, when I was mixing
Pherlure with 'none, I was doing so in a few different ratios:
1 spray Pherlure:1 spray TE
2 sprays Pherlure: 1
spray TE
1 spray pherlure:2 sprays TE
For me, TE doesn't seem to have much effect aside from when I overdose
and it just makes me crabby. Pherlure makes me stronger in my confidence, and it makes me stand straighter, almost
like I have more self esteem. Mixing the two definitely takes away from the immediate sexual charge I see in
Pherlure, and replaces it with a more sensual, smouldering charge that is slower to attract the ladies, but seems to
make them much more touchy feely and lusty instead of "You're the alpha male, and I want to f*ck now.", which seems
to be what I get from responsive females who already know me with Pherlure. Of course I am not the most experienced
phero user so I can't say these experiences are the end-all, be-all.
Charlie, You're right, these things can be
attributed to other reasons, but taken as a group, you don't usually see them without interest from the ladies
being present. I like to do things like walk into a bookstore, and observe people for a while as I sit at the cafe
reading. Then I'll apply some pheros, and observe them for any changes in behavior. I can tell you, there are
differences. Last time I did that, I had two lesbian girls (and they were definitely more on the lesbian side than
bisexual) suddenly start paying me so much attention that it started causing jealously between them. This is one of
several examples I can give of how peope started acting very different after I applied some pherlure, or another
pheromone combination. Usually when I wear pherlure, I wear it alone since I'm still trying to understand what the
difference between it and my other pheromones are. But it's certainly not the only thing I've had this type of
difference in behavior with.

2
sprays Pherlure: 1 spray TE
1 spray pherlure:2 sprays TE
Thanks for the ratios Catlord. I don't have any TE
so I can't experiment with that yet - I may purchase some at some point and give it a go. Here's an interesting
effect I had with APC and Pherlure (1/2 ounce each) then 1/2 a dropper of chem set Androstenone and a full dropper
of chem set Androstadienone: Basically DIHL and repetitive looks and stares from 90% of the women in the place
(Starbuck's) and alot of smiles. The best response though was from a woman who I see in there fairly frequently who
is usually with her boyfriend and who basically never even gives me the time of day let alone look at me or
acknowledge my presence. I've seen her there for a month or two now easily and the only eye contact I ever got from
her was when it was accidental like when 2 people happen to be looking around the room at the same time and their
eyes just happen to meet. Well, the last 2 nights have opened my eyes because since I added the Androstadienone to
the mix this girl has not been able to get her eyes off me! :cheers: Constantly staring at me and she even smiled at
me. All with her boyfriend sitting right next to her. The difference is like night and day - it's amazing! Talk
about a rush. I've also noticed more looks from men too but not in a way that I would perceive as threatening. It
almost seems like a mild fascination. I wonder if this mix somehow does something to my presence in general.
:thumbsup: I'm going to keep playing around with different mixtures as I'm keeping notes on what I do and I'll
post more as it becomes available.

I suspect that

vomeropherin was used instead of pheromone to promote products that supposedly activated the human VNO. There are
some creative marketing folks out there; let the buyer beware.

I just found this forum and have been addicted to it for the past few days. What a
wealth of info. I just wish I had found it a few hours earlier. I managed to find the Pherlure website and didn't
really look at it very closely. I generally have a pretty decent BS meter but I was to lazy to really investigate it
so I purchased a bottle After finding this forum with seemingly truthful info. I also purchased SOE packets and
Perception packets. But I won’t use those until my testing of Pherlure is complete.
LOOKS LIKE I AM A
SUCKER
I will be testing Pherlure over the next 2 weeks or 3 weeks to see if their HORRIBLE marketing
holds any truth. This may be one of the best products ever or one of the best rip off schemes ever. Every website
that lists info for this product tries to sell it to me.
Near Dishonest Marketing
There are about 9 or
10 other seemingly independent domain names that contain information on this product but they are very suspicious in
their language. Too much bull*$#@ not enough facts. Because of this I have decided to write this report.
There
are a few seemingly independent articles about the product. One is at askmen.com after the very short positive
article a note says that Pherlure commissioned the review and partially paid for its creation. Sounds creepy but I
would hope that askmen.com has some integrity.
Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone doesn’t seem to be a pheromone like
all the marketing suggests. It seems to only increase "plasma blood pheromone levels and sociosexual behaviors". It
sounds like you could just take DHEA tablets and get the same result. I have no chemistry or scientific background
besides being a bit of a geek but Pherlure is the only company that sells this chemical and they are the only source
of information on its properties. I did find one source that suggested an independent scientist was considering
development of a DHEA based scent but I can’t remember its source.
The information above has no bearing on
whether or not it really works. Simple fact is you can only take what I say at face value. Their marketing
techniques are near dishonest which does make me angry but their product might work. That aside it seems that they
have excellent customer relations. The product shipped within 24 hours of the order.
Below is the only
“scientific data” on Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone. It seems legit but it is only an abstract. If it were factually
incorrect the University of Chicago would lose face.
http://www.wondersinscience.com/archiv
es/2005/0207/novelpheromone.html (http://www.wondersinscience.com/archives/2005/0207/novelpheromone.html)
A double-blind, randomized study was conducted to determine the effect of
a novel human pheromone formulation (Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone) on plasma blood pheromone levels and sociosexual
behaviors in men in regard to women. Members of the group (n=84) had blood collected at the beginning and end of an
12 week period of the study along with a journal documenting sexual intercourse activity. Subjects were supplemented
with Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone in a fragrance marketed under the trade name "pherlure" (n=43) or a placebo fragrance
(n=41) for the 12 weeks. The subject group applied 2 sprays daily of the Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone added fragrance.
The plasma pheromone levels increased in the Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone group by 22.6%, respectively, while levels
decreased in the placebo group by 1.4%, respectively. The total journalized sexual intercourse activity levels
increased in the Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone group by 62.4%, respectively, in contrast to the placebo group which
increased by 2.8%, respectively. All comparisons were statistically significant (P<0.001). These findings suggest
that daily supplementation with Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone significantly increases plasma blood pheromone levels and
sociosexual behaviors.

Just got my shipment from
both bruce and from pherlure in time for my new year. I almost afraid to waste my new years, on something that is
not a sure thing like pherlure. I rather try SOE. I guess i will have to suck it up and give it a go.

12-31-2005, 02:55 PM
i would go with SoE tonight just
so you dont screw up your new years because you would regret that. do your pherlure testing after new years. also i
think this was the best experimental post i have ever read, very detailed and professional seeming.

Agree with Tyler. Great post. One
of the few long ones I could stay with. Really looking foward to your future posts. Tonight should be a great
testing night regardless of what you chose to wear.
BTW, when you when out without mones did you wear a
cologne. That is a very important detail.

I would have to say that
someone has to be a moron to market Pherlure the way it's being marketed. They're amost certainly costing
themselves sales.
Pherlure is BS. You may see effects
because it changes the dispersion of the products you mix it with, thus "altering" the dosage.
Is it bogus? Yea. Are catlord's
result real? Yea.

I wussed out on testing the
pherlure on new years. I figured that even if i got some results with pherlure. I wouldn't be able to tell if it
was because of the product or the sheer volume of horney chicks on the prowl. I put on half a pack SOE instead and
can tell you for a fact that it has some strange properties about it. I applied it before having anything to drink
and within minutes I felt stoned, really jittery like a caffine buzz and it seemed my fine motor skills were
impared. My game was really off so instead of going out hunting, I went to my roommates girlfriends friends party.
Turns out that everyone at that party was Gay. It was really funny because for the last 3 years I have gone to
literally gay parties for new years. I dont even have any friends i know are gay. It was fun because i enjoy talking
to people of different backgrounds and I didnt have any problems with the guys being obnoxious. I tried on the SOE
again today (had half a pack didnt want to waste) and felt stoned again. Could be because I was hung over but it
only started when I applied it. I swear to only test the pherlure for at least the next 2 weeks, I have to see if i
need to return it.
catlord17

Do one week's worth of testing with one spray, and then do one
week's worth with two sprays. In my experience, Pherlure needs to be refreshed about every 3 hours or so if you
apply to skin.

You assume I always wear it with something else. To assume is dangerous, my friend. As it

Catlord17...your results are not
necessarily bogus or invalid.Nor do I dismiss your results out of hand simply based of my own
assumptions.However,the body of existing real science doesnt indicate that there is any hard validity to the claims
made by the products manufacturer.Are your results real? Sure they are.And I will be the first to say if it aint
broke,dont fix it.The only real question that remains is WHY you get results from a product that has not only been
over hyped,but demonstrated to be based largely on assumption and supposition rather than anything delivered through
scentific research.
The unfortunate problem is that while the product may in fact work for some,the person
behind the product has made bogus statements regarding that product.It may be the greatest product in the world,but
until its backed up by factual scence and research its just hype.Another element to consider is individual body
chemistry.What works well for one may not work well for another.Hence,the variety of different products available
through this site.Pherlure may work great for you and many others as well...heck...it might even work for me if I
ever tried it.But there is an issue of trust that exists when it comes to the claims of the manufacturer.We all know
that info-mercials and internet spam advertising has become corrupted with bogus advertising and claims for miricle
products and so forth.I spent huge amounts of time lurking around these forums befor I ever considered actualy
buying anything simply for the fact that there have been so many frauds on the internet.The eveidence that I have
seen is based not on using Pherlure but based uppon the debunking of the claims made by its manufacturer.If you get
results from it...great.I am not about to say your full of it.But the manufacturer doesnt have the best track record
and the product should be approached with great caution.

I agree, the manufacturer is screwing up with
their marketing. In fact I have decided not to sell it, because they've done such a good job of screwing up, even
though I find that it works for me. Nordo I expect everyone to have the same results with it that I do, since I
apparently don't have the same results others do with this or the other pheromones. Body chemistry.
However, as
of right now, I'd say that Pherlure is my favorite of the stuff I have. It may not be correctlyclassified when
it's called a pheromone spray, but I sure do have fun with it. It seems to affect people like most people report
that NPA does, for me, except without the negative side effects. Whereas TE seems to do nothing unless I overdose
and become irritable.
I have noting to gain orlose if nobody believes my experiences, which is why I find it so
amusing to get such strong insistence that I can't be right from these guys. On the other hand, I have a lot of
testing time to put in yet with my pheromones, so this one might not stay on top of the heap.
I also have to
wonder if they put out a different product for people who have already bought from them. There have been some
reports that the first bottle was great, and then the second bottle didn't do anything. I guess we'll see when I
run out of this bottle's contents. Because call me a fool, but I have seen some amazing stuff happen after putting
on Pherlure, and I'll most definitely be buying another bottle. As far as I'm concerned, it's liquid gold. And
I'd wear it just for the scent, even without the "active ingredient", whatever the hell it happens to be.
Then
again, my loyalty lies with what works. If they're playing games with switching contents on second orders and
beyond, they lose me as a customer. Simple as that.
Maybe I'll send you this bottle when I have only a little
left so you can try it.
I follow your logic,
but it's faulty. I'm simply not imagining my results, as much as you would like to believe otherwise.

slashdot will pick it up. If in 2 weeks i find that it works then I might extend my study to a month. Something as
contraversial as this seems to need investigation. If nothing else the site that I might create will expose the
companies marketing tactics. While doing research on this product I have yet to find a counterpoint to the rave
reviews of Pherlure. (maybe astroturfing) This is something that needs to be fixed for the sake of balance. Of
course I'll definately mention this forum and its wealth of info. I love this site. It seems to be the only island
in the sea of BS. Kudos to Bruce for allowing this thread for a product which he doesn't even (wisely) carry.

Hey all,
I am waiting for my bottle of Pherlure in the mail so ya. I research and research and
got confuse of why you have to mix each different kind. Can't you just use one alone byitself?
Another question is: If I take a shower every morning with shampoo and soap bar as a daily thing to me; then
putting on the -mone, will there be a less effective on it because of the fresh new bathe shampoo
smell?
Lastly, How would mixing would attract girls sexually?:cheers:

01-04-2006, 06:11 PM
I probably did the same thing
that you did a week ago. I saw pherlure first and didnt pay attention to the advertising techniques and ended up
with a bottle. There is no trustworthy information on the web proving pherlure works only marketing information. If
you read between the lines it looks like a bogus product.
It might actually work. Some people on this board like
it and i was going to do some testing myself but i cant stand the smell of the stuff. It smells very strong and
cheap to me so i plan to return it before the month. I tried a chikara packet today, even if it does nothing I would
wear it for the scent, reminds me of the way strippers smell.
I recommend using pherlure by itself for a while to
see if it even works for you and what kind of response it illicits. If it is a pheromone then it doesnt matter if
someone can detect the odor. Pheromones are supposed to be sensed subconciously.

I didn't really ever give it
a chance. The scent was too much for me. Gave me a headache and they say one application lasts 4-8 hours. I would
not be able to hit myself 2x in a day with that. Dont want to be known for my smell, just remembered by my aura.
catlord17 seems honest and has experience with this product, he seems to like it.
I am also a noob and this
website has plenty of products with both positive and negative reviews (shows honesty). Pherlure didn't have a
single negative review anywhere at all on the web. That is impossible, pheromones aren't supposed to get women to
throw their panties at the ugliest of guys, someone would have written a bad review somewhere. I wanted to start
with a product that i knew for almost a fact wasnt snake oil. Good luck

Sorry this was
a separate topic that i posted in the wrong section.
Is there a pheromone out there that is the real deal? I
hear some sites say they will gurantee you the results but some people say its a marketing thingy....so what
pheromone in the world would work?
Doesn't everybody seem that they are telling you how good it is and lure you
in to buy their product? happens to me b4... :frustrate
I wish there was one that I can choose from instead of
looking all of the brands and comparing and testing it.
I've been searching and searching and still can't make
up my mine but instead i brought a Pherlure bottle to test it out.
The extent of the posting on this
forum should be evidence enough to prove that these products work: none of us would be here if the products didn't
work. If at all you're skeptical (understandably), Bruce offers the freebie pack to "test-drive" different products
and make a decision on whether or not you should purchase other products. In the end though it does require a leap
of faith though, as pheromones are, for the most part, outside of mainstream knowledge.

This company does sell products that can be added to colognes
or you can just use the unscented pheromones and cover them with whatever scent you wish. The unscented Scent of
Eros is recommended by many people on this forum and the chikara has a really mild scent.

Just read the forums. The sheer
number of posts is a good indication, like the guy above mentioned. Then there are the threads that talk about
results with mones and combos.
Look at the product list then do an advanced search using the search tool and
look up each one and what they do. That will give you an idea of you'll want.
Pherlure...thats not the most
respected product in the world. As you mentioned, alot of people try to pull the wool over your eyes with some kind
of marketing tactic. And Pherlure is pretty aggressive when it comes to that.
But people have had some results
on this forum atleast in combination with other stuff.

Yeah, pretty much you can
sprinkle pheromones on a deadman and watch women at his funeral hump him raw. Not! [I love writing that!] Human
responses to pheromones aren't as simple or as direct as in the insect world, or even lower
mammals.
Pheromones use may be likened like buying a trumpet. In the hands of a master this instrument
produces amazing beauty, power and expressive emotion. In the hands of a noob, silly fart-lke utterances. In other
words, you gotta study and work at pheromone use or you'll fall on your arse. MAybe even get a black eye. You gotta
get your ducks in a row: look good, smell sweet and make witty conversation. Moreover, there is no universal dose,
so you must experiment until you find the right combination for your persona and body chemistry.

:welcome: Remember...one of the
things you will read repeatedly from forum members who have experimented extensively with these products is that: NO
PRODUCT WILL CAUSE WOMEN TO RIP OFF THIER PANTIES AND THROW THEM AT YOU WHILE DEMANDING TO BE ALLOWED TO BE THE
MOTHER OF YOUR CHILDREN. And that is advertising you wont see here.I became a custome of Love-Scent because they
DIDNT make rediculous claims.
The lure of a product that will cause women to follow you around and profess thier
undying love for you is as seductive as the products that claim such things as "rapid herbal weight loss," "herbal
breast enlargement," "herbal penis enlargement" and so forth.The fact is that pheromones DO work.They work quite
well under the right conditions,but they require some work on your part to be truly effective.
The fact is that
marketing gurus have figured out that you can sell almost anything to anyone if you present it right.I dont
represent this company but I have been a pheromone user for some time and can attest to thier effectiveness
myself.And Love-Scent offers a very liberal money back gaurantee because they do work.They also offer free samples
so that you can get an idea of what your getting into befor you spend hard earned money.
Reading through the
forums you will get an idea of all the various components that are necessary for successful pheromone use.Theres
more to it than simply splashing on the mystical love juice and waiting for the supermodels to line up for you to
autograph their naked bodies.There are issues like "game," where you have to learn to approach women correctly.There
are issues of dress,where you learn to look like you mean business to a woman.Theres issues of phisical
fitness,because...as I found out...chicks are alittle standoffish if your not in at least some semblance of decent
condition.We arent talking body builder,but in better shape than a kitchen sponge (thats me:lol: ) would be good.
All these elements must come together to form a cohesive wall of manlyness that women apprciate,including
pheromones.The science behind them is sound and the products are gaurateed.All you need to do now is hang around the
forums to get a better idea of what might help you in your quest.Like the rest of us,we all came here looking for
ways to impress women,gain respect from others and generaly enhance our day to day lives through the miricle of
science.Some have reached the pinicle of that search and have discovered all the components they need to improve
thier lives.Some of us are still searching for that "perfect combination."Whatever the case,pheromones are
legitimate and the use of pheromones has definatly improved my outlook on life,and improved my day to day
interactions as well.
I can understand being alittle skeptical,I was for a long time too.But Bruce and his team
have consistently impressed me with both thier products and thier service.
Oh...by the way...welcom to the

I am in search of pheromones but like you said they do work but you need to find the right combi for yur body
correct?
Anyways i am searching for days but still can't find an answer for me yet...if anyone can plz
post:cheers:
Im a bit confuse on what inside the forum says like for example....some say use the standalone
-mone first then add other scent to it (combi mixes) :think:
And for another part is the ratio thingy that u have
to add to balance..
I search and search but theres too many!
Thanks for letting me feel
welcomed!:thumbsup:

Before you start trying to mix
experiment with single products first. Oreder the free gel packs and try them out first. See what happens. Mixing
without solid basic knowledge usually adds more confusion than anything else.

I forgot to tell my age
lol....I'm 17; 5'9
OK i ordered the sample packs and it will come soon. I have read all about the -mone stuff
that each -mone will do differently....when i get the samples, do each of them has its own separate -mone to test
out first like attracting girls to talk more and the other is to have romantic stuff? If one of them work for me and
if i want both attractions, I just combine both of them correct?
How do i know how much will I have to put on
it?

There are negative reviews of
Pherlure out there. Not a lot of them, but they are out there. There's no product along the lines of pheromones
(Di-DHEA is apparently not a pheromone) that gives everyone great results. (TE seems to do nothing for me, for
instance, but others love it.) You also have to remember individual chemistry, circumstances, amount used, which
woman you're dealing with (not every woman responds the same to a particular product) and of course other factor as
well.
There's some who might think I'm trying to sell Pherlure, but I'm not. I have actually decided against
becoming a distributor for them because of their marketing tactics. I trust Love Scent's products, because I have
good results from AE and SOE, and I had good results from the packet of Chikara I tried, too. Pherlure's not
perfect... nothing is... but for me, it happens to work well. (Anyone decides they want to get rid of a
bottle they're not happy with, PM me and let's see if we can make a deal.)
I also happen to really enjoy the
scent.
If you want to buy stuff to add to colognes, consider such things as NPA, PPA and the like. They're
designed to be added to colognes. Or, you can just use the pheromone spray and cover with a cologne. Pherlure's
definitely not the only thing worth looking at, or using.

...Now on
to the "suggestion" at hand, I've seen Pher-Lure come up a couple of times, but I am getting 3-4 spam emails a day
from those guys and in my mind that more or less takes them out of the running. Sort of 2 strikes against them, but
I'm interested to hear more if it seems to be a worthy product.

My experience with Pherlure
has been overall good. Even better when I've mixed it with -None and -Stadienone. When I mixed it with -Rone not
good at all.

ratio mix?
How do u know when you have the right ratio mix of -mones?
some people put 3:2:4 but isnt that and
OD? I thought the directions on the label are thr right way to follow.

I've posted this quite a few
times but will repeat myself again then suggest you do some research on the forum. Most of your questions so far
have been answered many times.
Start with any one product. Apply the same small dose every day for a week and
observe reactions. The next week increase the dose and again the following week. Do that until you get overdose
reactions. Now you should have a grip on what that particular product will do for you. Do the same thing with the
next product. Once you've done this with several products you should have enough knowledge of what mones do for
you, what works and in what doses. Now you are ready to start mixing based on that knowledge. Until you know what
individual products work for you, how can you figure out what mix is going to work? You can't unless by pure
luck.

My theory is that you have bad experiences mixing it with 'rone
because that's what's already in it, and you're overdosing.
I think di-DHEA breaks down into 'rone... of
course, this is all theory based on the fact that mixing TE with pherlure makes me feel the same as when I wear AE.
Rather loose guessing is more like it. But that's my theory.
Try Pherlure with SOE. Interesting. :-)

If you're wondering why I'm always asking, it's because deep inside of me the
age + none (the older you are, the more -none that's needed) is is stuck in there, even though I've found that
-none doesn't really scare off younger females ... UNLESS, I have no none at all! :blink:

Thanks! :thumbsup:
I'm 32 years old. When I wear them together, I use 1-2 dabs of SOE on
each cheek and usually one spray of Pherlure to my throat, but sometimes two. I try to never use more than three
per day, as the bottle says. Since it seems to last about 3 hours per spray, I try to use one spray at a time so I
can refresh without overdosing.
Interesting means I get unexpected responses from this mix. It provokes
interaction with strangers, as does SOE, and usually the friendliness vibe predominates, but there's a small but
strong sexual vibe that builds over time and seems to put the idea in their head that they need to "get me". In
other words, it seems to turn them into "wolves in sheep's clothing", hunting me sexually and thinking it's
entirely their own idea.
I haven't posted any of my experiences yet because I'm still testing it for
consistency, and I'm also alternating between this and AE.
AE seems to have a much "heavier" vibe to it, and a
slower moving one. AE makes me think of deep forest green, if we're going for color associations, whereas Pherlure
+ SOE makes me think of a pale ultraviolet. I associate these colors based on how the combinations make me feel.
AE is more solid, earthy, steady, strong. Pherlure by itself gives me a sense of masculine confidence that's
neither slow moving nor overly solid, but not over the top, either - well balanced. Pherlure + SOE makes me feel
like a silver tongued devil, and I'm getting the responses through verbal seduction that's built on both my own
and her response to the combination.
Hope that helps. Let's just say that it breaks the social ice...and the
"bullet" that does it is aimed in a sexual direction from the get-go.

i did have some other cologne on earlier so after i shower tomorrow morning im going to put it on and test it at
work

So Tyler, does Pherlure affect
your mood any?
I suggest you do an experiment in which you spray yourself on the face with a spray of it and
see if it makes you feel any different. I have also noticed that women seem to be able to tell where I have applied
it, and they will apply attention to that spot. If they're inebriated in any way, I get a lot more kiss hits than
usual wherever I have applied it. So putting it on your face may get you increased eye contact and kisses on the
lips, cheeks, nose, or forehead, depending on how you apply it and the women you are using it with.
I apply
it to my face once in a while for the mood altering effect, and the interest it seems to bring to my face
specifically. Eye contact is a good thing. :-)

I've been with love-scent from the
very beginning. I don't post all that often, but this thread kind of demands my opinion. I am very intrigued by the
web description of this new product.
However, as someone did before in this thread, I immediately did a
literature search - in thousands of journals - to find no mention of Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone at all.
This
tells me that the studies linked to from the site are not good enough for publication and leads me to disbelieve the
evidence on the product.
Like others, anectdotal evidence means more from people who have been around for
years and in this forum. I tend to disbelieve those that seem to have just joined in the past 2 months - especially
if they are saying ridiculous things about any product.
Most of us have been here from the beginning and our
experience tells us that outrageous statements that seem to imply that pheromones all of sudden short circuit the
brain are to be taken with a grain of salt. We all know that personality, approach, game, and cleanliness have a lot
to do with it too. No pheromone can circumvent those factors.

reason seems to put me in a happier more hyper mood but that might just be because i like how it smells.

Hey, I'm still around. I just
don't post as I used to as I did in the beginning. I've kept abreast of all the products - Chikira and Perception
were the last 2 "new" products I tried - while still using APC, TE, SOE, and NPA. Pheromones were a start for me,
the next thing I worked on was my game. Both of them together - work wonderfully.
I do check back every now
and again, order one or two new products every year, get my samples and intro specials. If you ever need my opinion
on something, a PM will work.

I just got my pherlure
bottle yesterday and going to test it. The smell was pleasant and it smelled good to me.
1/10/06
Today I have
tested my Pherlure bottle with one spray to the throat and one spray of my cologne on the wrist. I went to school
and throughout the day, I havn't notice any eye contact, hits, or compliments. I mean wth man....:rant: or is it
that there are too many students walking in the hall way that prevented the -mones? I will continue my testing this
week to see if theres any results.
The scent was gone quickly in about 2 hrs and my coloogne an hr. later because
it was on my skin.
I know trying it on the first day won't give you any results but I have heard from some
people that it works on their first day and some a few days later (True?) Some people also said you need to
wear for a few days because of the body chemistry.
But i do have a question about this though; since
it is my first day testing it, do I have to keep applying it everyday until it kicks in? (Help!)
Anyways I will continue to post my results and see what happens.:blink:

more damage is done to the biologically based concept of human pheromones--as it is represented in other threads --
and by research, as well as research-based marketing and anecdotal information. I would be happy to take full

Even if a veteran reported
positive anecdotal evidence, I would be quick to attribute the anecdote to the power of suggestion, which is what
the marketing approach hopes people will buy-in-to. They're marketing an unknown compound (as if people should
know about it) and link to study results that either can't be found, or are reports from studies on other compounds
that are known (or at least suspected to be) pheromonally active. Why would a veteran try
it?

"Look at the advertising; it can't be real" is a valid approach. Especially when
there is nothing in the advertising that links the product to anyone or anything that might have some substance to

what is the harm to discuss it. Frankly, it bothers me more, that someone would want to censor the discussion. And

catlord17
01-11-2006, 12:13 AM
As I have said before, there
are two schools of thought regarding this product. Those who think there's something to it, and those who don't.
I happen to have seen people who didn't know I was wearing anything respond to pherlure in ways I have not seen as
often with other pheromone type sprays (so worded since Pherlure does not seem to have pheromones in it). If you
discount my experiences as being gullible, or being suggestible or being whatever, then that's fine. I respect
your opinion. I can handle your disagreement. But that's all it is - an opinion. Just as my conclusion that it
works is opinion, based however much on actual experiences that you all may lack, as compared to you guys just
guessing based on somene's marketing BS.
That said, I am growing increasingly skeptical about what's actually
in this product, but I have seen results from people who didn't know anything out of the ordinary was going on, and
no amount of other people's skepticism is going to change the facts regarding those experiences. And to
respectfully disagree, JVK, I would have to say that "Look at the advertising, it can't be real" is only a valid
approach if you have already made up your mind about something. By the same logic, the world is flat and the sun
revolves around the Earth.
To those who are new with pherlure, the most common results I get are an increased
acceptance from others and more positive responses to my ideas. Lots more respect. You need to give people a
chance to be affected by the pheromone (or whatever it is) in pherlure, just as you would with any other product.
It's not an instant result, as far as I can tell, and just passing people hasn't done much of anything for me with
any phero or related type of product. But I continueto see results wth Pherlure, the exactsame as are described
frequently on this frum fromother people regarding other products, even when I wear Pherlure alone and don't tell
anyone.
By the way, in my experience, Pherlure has to be applied about every three hours to remain
effective.
As for the steroid chemist Bruce is talking about, I am looking forward to what he has to say, because
I'm really wondering how I could have had some of these experiences if this is all in my head. Especially since
it's my business to know about the power of suggestion.
It's a shame they chose to market their product the way
they have, because I think it would make a really good addition to both Bruce's and my own products, but I agree
that their tactics would not be welcome to my customers and I'm not going to sell it therefore. Regardess, I am
going to use it, and continue using it, because of all the products I have tried, pherlure seems to get me the best,
most obvious and most frequent hits.
Naturally, I have not lost sight of the fact that I am still far from
experienced with all the products I have, or that are available, but these have been my experiences so far. Show me
something better and I'll use it instead.
One thing I have noticed is that there seem to be two extremes of
thinking when it comes to "believing" something. There are those who will believe without any evidence, and there
are those who will not believe regardless of evidence. The former tends to be religious types, and the latter tends
to be scientific types. I have both in my family, and I have come to have a middle of the road approach as a
result. I keep an open mind, and go with what evidence I have available. In other words, I don't look at the
packaging and decide that just because it is a cheap cardboard box, that it's impossible for a real diamond to be
placed inside. On the other hand, I'm not locked into any particular conclusion, either. If the evidence starts
to suggest something else, then my conclusion reflects that.
So skeptics and believers both, think what you will.
I'll just go with what I can see happening, unless someone happens to have some evidence against it other than
"The advertising is ridiculous".
And now for a hit report. Cologne:TE:Pherlure at 1:1:1 seems to do really
really well for respect hits. I met a friend of a friend today, and she was reported to be very aggressive and
dominating before I met her, but she turned out to be more on the submissive side around me, which got the friend
who introduced us picking her jaw up off the floor. I wasn't really trying to be terribly dominant, and the girl
"doesn't like white guys", and is engaged, so I wasn't expecting sexual hits. But it was amazing the respect I was
getting from her when I had been expecting her to try to steamroll me. I seem to be getting much more respect with
this formula than just Pherlure by itself. Also got my first hits from TE alone last night. Had a woman tell me,
"Oh my,all sorts of interesting things seem to be happening when I'm around you," and she was referring to her
bodily responses.

I have asked
one chemist about Di-DHEA and he has told me that as far as he knows Pherlure was actually
only using Dehydroepiandrosterone, and were simply tagging on the di- prefix to throw
off consumers. Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone is not a valid chemical name, and it is not listed in the merk
index, nor can a chemical structure be obtained from it. The ‘di' prefix should be alpha-numeric, so as to specify
exactly where the two DHEA molecules are attached.
If this really is di-DHEA, Pherlure must have had a custom
synthesis performed.
You say here that DHEA is not a pheromone, but it has been shown to equally
target both the male and female human VNO, causing a stimulation of 1mV, as demonstrated via electrovomeronasogram.
This was in a study which erox
had funded some 10-15 years ago.
e.g.
http://www.erox.com/images/Steroid1.GIF
I also received an information that Androstenol,
as this is actually an
optical isomer of DHEA. Basically, it's a ‘mirror image' of the DHEA
molecule when viewed
three-dimensionally. Mr Kohl, could you please confirm this?

As I said in my previous post,
I was growing suspicious as to what was actually in Pherlure, since "Di-DHEA" produces nothing much to look at in
searches... and all you skeptics are insisting it can't work, while I see it working. The only thing I could see
that could explain the discrepancy was they were not being honest about what's actually in it.
Now if that graph
is right, estratetraenol must really give guys a buzz! Isn'tthat the female pheromone that acts like A1 does for
women?
haszu
01-11-2006, 11:17 AM
Yes, Estratetraenol is the most

Estratetraenol is even more powerful than A-1.

to me and started to get touchy while I was talking to her about the lab. I'm like hmm the -mones must be working.

For my experiences so far, I have notice when it happens if you speak to someone at a close proximity and

Try tesing each dose
for a week at a time... 1 spray for one week, two sprays for one week, and then see what happens with nothing for
one week. According to the Pherlure guys, one spray is best for women under about 30. Since I am attending college
where most of the hotties are under 30, I use one spray at a time.
I'm sitting here in the library and I just
had a hit from one of the clerks at the returns desk. She was at first actively ignoring me when I went up for
help. Someone else helped me. I had just applied one spray of Pherlure before I walked to the desk, and after
discussing the book in question with another clerk, I turned to walk away and this girl gives me a bright, radiant
smile and just a little too cheerily says, "Bye!" It was so out of character for what I had seen when she was
dealing with the guy next to me. It was like we'd just had a very good time together or something. And she had
plainly seen me earlier and ignored me without the slightest hesitation.

isomers, they would not be equivalent. Physiology is very stereospecific (real word) - which means receptors and
binding sites are looking for specific shapes for their sites. The steroid skeleton is stereospecific to begin with.
You can think of a receptor as a lock, and the molecule (substrate) as a key. Some keys will fit into locks
but not be able to turn them (LSD may act on serotin receptors in the same way, hypertension medication does this
also by blocking specific channels in the body) and in many cases, a wrong key will not even fit into a lock.
Imagine a mirror image of a key trying to go into a lock - it most likely will not even be able to penetrate the
lock, much less turn it.
Attached are molecular diagrams of each. The are clearly not mirror images of each
other. There are major structural differences on the left where DHEA has a ---OH and none has a ===O. Also on the
very right, DHEA has a ===O whereas none has no oxygen, but instead has a little extra line in the pentagon over
there - this will cause a major difference in shape for that part of the molecule. Otherwise from that, the two
molecules are the same. The two can be introconverted into one another.
What does this mean? Not a hell of
alot except that they are not optical isomers of each other and they most likely will not act on the same receptor
sites. They will most likely not fit into the same locks.
The Erox graph actually really doesn't say much to
me. I need to know what the hell it means and more importantly the background. The notation in the upper corner that
says "N=21" means that this study was done with only 21 cases. There is nothing to suggest that these 21 subjects
represent the general population. The only thing that can be concluded is that for these 21 cases, that the chemical
on the right eluded more of a voltaic response than all of the others. The voltaic response however, doesn't mean
anything real. THe graph is extremely out of context on its own. It doesn't say anything generalizable in the very
least.

Chemist, JVK, can you tell us
if DHEA should have any effect similar to a pheromone? As far as I have found, it's produced by the adrenal glands
and it's ingested as a supplement. Why would it have any effect similar to a pheromone at all? Is it even
secreted in sweat?
luxveritas
01-11-2006, 09:21 PM
is it possible that a DHEA
molecule might be broken down by skin bacteria into other compounds? It seems strange that a company would bother
releasing a product with such an untested chemical when they could apply the same marketing techniques to readily
available chemicals proven to work. I decided not to bother with the stuff because I found this forum with all kinds
of products proven to work. When I was digging for information I did find something that suggested scientists were
interested in testing pheromone properties of DHEA but nothing about DI-DHEA.
Chemist

Here are the structures. Since the
receptor for pheromones isn't structurally known, it is very difficult to predict what binds to what. Anything I
can come up with would be pure conjecture. Suffice to say, any thing beginning with "andro" has the middle hexagonal
rings in common - with all the otehr structures differing in flexibility and angles of chemical bonds by about 15
degrees. I'll write more in detail later if the mood hits me. I would think that DHEA does not bind to the same
receptor sites as andro pheromones, but can be converted into structures that could bind.

Yes, Estratetraenol
is the most effective pheromone that stimulates male VNO and Androstadienone stimulates female VNO most
effectively. Estratetraenol is even more powerful than A-1.
Estratetraenol will be invaluable when
used with WAGG for all-male working environments. It can also be used with A-1 to mitigate depression in ourselves.
But no one is selling it & I don't want Realm/m

It crossed my mind that maybe
DHEA worked by being converted, but I don't think that's what's happening... I have noticed that even without
applying Pherlure to myself, it affects me when I smell it... and I know three women who have shown effects from it
without it having been applied to skin. (They either smelled it on my shirt, or smelled the sprayer.) So whatever
is active in Pherlure must be active without conversion...

Interstingly enough, my first
noticable hits came from Realm for men (which contains Estratetraenol), long before I ever found this forum. Realm
was my first phero product product, and had I not seen results from Realm, I would have given up on mones
altogether.
I'm very anxious to get my hands on some straight up estratetraenol just to see what kind of
results a higher concentration produces.

that a DHEA molecule might be broken down by skin bacteria into other compounds?
I know that this has
come up before several times. Winnefred Cutler claimed to use DHEA or DHEA sulfate in her products, which is why the
folks at Erox tested DHEA for potential VNO activation. No reason it should have, and it didn't. No likelihood that
DHEA has pheromonal properties by acting through the main olfactory system either. On the other hand, the primary
metabolites of DHEA; androsterone and etiocholanolone are good possibilities for human pheromones. Too much info to
discuss here that supports androsterone as a human pheromone. Besides, it's all in my book, which is available
through Love-scent.com

ummm k
heres my results testing Pherlure.
This is my 2nd week testing Pherlure. (2 sprays and 1 dab TE)
The day I
drive to school (I'm 17 of course; average good looking;medium build; kinda shy) and walking down the hall way, I
see this very hot tan russian blonde:lovestruc (9/10 face and 10/10 body! YeHaa!:thumbsup: ) that i don't really
know her that well( Very Popular in school). I tried to get her smelling the -mones by passing her closely and what
do you think happen next? She turn around and said Hi to me and tell me how good I smelled. (BIG HIT!:cheers:
) So then we stop and have a little chit chat with her and tell her how shes doing. And then things get a little
bit touchy where she started to get closer to me and touching my clothes and tell me how good I dress and what kinda
brand is it etc... While I ask her there are other more good looking guys trying to hit on her but why me in a bad
mood:rasp: ? LOL), but then she told me how good I was and so on. I also see other guys looking at me and her
talking to me together with respect.
All the ahhs and umms about talking; heres what happen next. After the
chit chat, she gave me her # without asking her (A MUST!) Then we went our separate ways to our classes and stuff.
By lunch I met her again with her friends. I heard her friends talk about me also but her friends were impress of
her talking to me. Then we just chat and sat close to each other cuddling :twisted:. I notice other girls (hot ones)
said hi to me and want to talk to me but I'm just going to stick with this babe for now.
AHHH after school
was the best part of the day...I was going to my car and out of no where she came approaching to me and said hi
again. The most outragous question she ask me is, "Am I Hot?", I'm like, "F**K YES YOU ARE HOT BABE!" -haha She
accepts what I say and ya. The most hardest part of my day was asking her out on a date b/c I wasn't really shure
if the -mones were gone. (I'm a little shy:sad: ) But what the HELL, of all those time chit chatting with the chick
I ask her out anyways and she said yes (HELL YA!) I told her I'll call her and go somewhere to date. :D
There was alot of sexual comments and tension about her . She like jumped on me outside while I was on my cell
talking(I know she wanted sex...) and she was wearing a skirt with those dress boots from A&F I was hugging her and
she didnt care(how nice was that for a guy? LOL)
Later On, I said I have to go and the most happiest day of
my life is when the hottest chick I seen so far in school kissed me on my lips and cheeks and said bye bye. :DDD
(Holy crap man...) Man dude I don't even know this girl very well but in one day of talking to her, were like best
friends now and I'm more popular now since all the people at school see me and her hanging around. (More Girls for
ME:cheers: ) Anyways, I see her everyday at school(hmmm, my luck had came for me:twisted: )
The moment I
think to myself off all that in a day, I'm like (HOLY S&*T mother of god!) the mix I had actually working right.
Although 1 spray of Pherlure like Catlord said has enough for a 17 yr old but I only see some results (Not
spectacular or anything, just stares and smiles) Anyway 2 spray of Pherulre increases more hits I had the same as
the first but nothing exciting.
The moment that I put on 2 sprays Pherlure and 1 dab of TE gel (1/4 as the
product guide says) and go to school to meet that hot chick, I was so dam proud of myself for the first mix I had
for a beginner. :thumbsup: I also think it was TE was working all the way for me. I should buy more TE :D
Well anyway, Pherlure is great when mixing with other -mone like TE but I have to say everyone is different.This
one works for me so far. I see most people say this product doesnt work b/c of the body chemistry so I dunno. I also
tried TE alone but had some hits and some negative ones. I'm so dam happy now that girls are hitting on me.
YAY!
Guys, where can I take her on a date? hmmm I live in Seattle so theres a underage club 16+ and I
dont know if i want to take her there with me so ya...I'm still going to wear the same mix on a date with her since
it worked out. I can't belive I scored myself a very very beautiful chick...
I will soon try other products too
but this one for me is a must. Also, I will post what happen on our date with the mix and to see other people react
to it.
I would like to also thanks for all the people here helping me! Catlord/Sigma, THANKS FOR ALL
THE TIPS MAN, I owe you guys one. :thumbsup:
P.S. This is my first test mix for a
beginner and I don't know how I pulled this one off...
Nice LONG made up story

Everyone's got a different
sweet spot, and a different woman to try it on. :)
I had a rather funny Pherlure hit this evening. I was coming
home from a dinner meeting with my assistant, and just to tease her I wore one and a half sprays of Pherlure. She
was surprisingly unaffected. Usually this woman melts when I wear it.
Anyway, as we're walking out to the car,
we pass a couple, each of whom is carrying one of their children. I didn't really pay attention, because I was
tired and just wanted to drop her off and go home, but when we got to the car she turned to me and said, "Holy sh*t,
that was a hit if I ever saw one!"
(She knows about the 'mones.)
I asked what she was referring to, and she
told me that the woman had stopped dead in her tracks, sniffed the air, and then tracked me with her eyes until she
was almost completely turned in the opposite direction. "She darned near dropped her kid!" my assistant told me.
(I think that was an exaggeration.)
I didn't see it, but I wish I had.

:POKE: Hello forum: is there
anyway I can get some thoughs from "EvErYbOdY" on what mone is in Pherlure in the context of whether it is none
(agressive alpha), the love one, the chattiness one or like the other I forgot. Because it has to have one of the
one's we know about right? Even though they are trying to keep it a secret right? I think that the whole idea of
DHEA is a joke. It :frustrate just does not add up.
:whip: I tried e-mailing them to no avail. I get a response
of some pasting from their site, plus they say that in the context I put above that it increases sexual
attractiveness. Plus I asked if there is the chance of having males become agressive by putting to much. There was
no answer as that would confirm it being none. Lastly I welcome any other thoughts as to the effects of it, and of
course what it is that we are all figuring it really is collectivelly. With the assumption, that it is probably
something and not just a spray with a diluted DHEA pill. Maybe a blend, I also tried e-mailing their lab but it did
not go through.
Finally I want to add that I am a customer of Love-Scent having already made my first order. I
will also be getting SOE roll on, Chikara and Perception. I know this is the place to make all purchases and be in
the know but I was just wondering after reading this whole thread over the past couple days. Sorry for the long

I seem to be the most
experienced user of Pherlureon this board, and certainly the most vocal. My best guess is that Pherlure contains
androsteRONE, and I believe that is true because of four things.
1. DHEA does not make sense.
2. AndrosteRONE is
a derivative of DHEA (as far as I recall).
3. Pherlure gets me lots of respect hits from guys, in addition to
getting responses from women.
4. Pherlure makes me feel a specific way when I wear it. When I wear TE, I don't
feel that way. But when I wear Pherlure + TE, I feel the same as when I wear AE!

:blink: Will you confirm
that the way you wear it is one spray every 3 or 4 hours to avoid OD? Where is the line with the OD and what would
be the effect of OD that, have you had one? What is the effect of two and how often do you do it? I am in college,
would you say that what they say about two for 30+ holds ground? So therefore try to follow the rules. Also please
let me know how you wear it with TE, what ratio of the three you tried did you like more, 1PH 1TE 1Cover or 211 I am
thinking to much TE for the 121 (area of app, what goes on top of what) and describe that feeling you talked about
when mixed and alone. ( I went back and read all your posts, so I think I got an idea of how you said it makes you
feel) But how do you feel when you wear AE which you compare to PH and TE? Thanks for tolerating my newbi hassle.

:thumbsup: To the forum I want to say that I have my first

I wear one spray every 3 hours, up to a maximum of three sprays per day. This has the effect of
attracting the younger women, as well as avoiding what would probably be overdose, and it covers about nine hours a
day. I don't know anyone who needs to smell sexy more than nine hours a day.
Two sprays is supposed to be more
attractive to older women, and I find this is true for me. It makes the younger ones think of me more like a father
figure than someone to be attracted to, usually. I use two sprays when I am planning to be around older women, or
in places where I know there's a lot of smoke, such as pool halls. Yes, two sprays for 30+ holds ground in my
experience.
When I wear Pherlure with TE, I wear it in either a 1:1 concentration or a 2:1, with more Pherlure
than TE. I like the 1:1:1 ratio when using with cover, but you have to remember that it takes three sprays of this
combination to equal one spray of each of the component parts.
When I wear it by spraying TE, then Pherlure, then
cover, I usually spray one on each side of my neck - TE left, PH right, and then cover in the middle.
If I mix
them, I just spray them on my neck or sometimes in my hair.
Pherlure makes me feel confident in a James Bond type
way. It's a mature confidence I guess... kind of hard to describe. Similar to what I have read as the response
people have to RONE actually. I have seen it have some rather directly raw sexual responses from women,
though.
TE I don't notice anything at all, unless it's irritability from an overdose. Add the two together and
the raw sexiness of Pherlure becomes a mellow, sensual slower arousal. It's a slow, building arousal, and that's
what AE does. I can'treally describe how I feel with AE ot TE/PH except to say that it's a much more mellow
feeling, and it makes me feel sexier.
I've been avoiding situations where I'd be likely to be attracting too
much sexual attention with 'mones lately, so most of what I have seen has been respect hits. Last night in the
movie theater, I was getting respect hits from the guys sitting near me. Basically, you don't expect guys you
don't know to tell you that they're sure their girlfriends won't be so loud when the movie starts, and it's
still 20 minutes to the movie.

where you said 3 sprays of the combo equals one spray of the component parts. Everything else I am totally clear on.
By the way what is the reasoning for not putting yourself in situation where you draw tons of sexual attention. How
do you avoid this because I am generally already the center of attention almost all the time in most situations.

You
have to understand that just because a certain product makes me feel a certain way, does not necessarily mean
the same product will make you feel the same way - or any particular way at all. A lot of people report that TE
makes them feel something, but it does nothing for my mood at all, except if I overdose.
What Pherlure does,
essentially, is make me feel more confident. I don't know how it does that... but that's what I meant by the
"James Bond" thing. And it's not always at the same level of intensity. It depends on other factors as well. But
what James Bond had was an unshakeable sense of confidence, and that is the important thing. Some
here will insist that this is just the power of suggestion acting on me to produce this effect. I disagree. In any
case, confidence is the sexiest thing you can have going for you. Start building your self confidence, and
pheromones will pale in comparison.
Three sprays of the 1:1:1 PH:TE:Cover equals one spray of each because when
you mix them, you have three components, but the volume of fluid released per spray remains constant. Why should it
change that it takes one spray of PH, one spray of TE and one spray of cover when all you have done is mix them
together? Same volume of fluid still - just getting 1/3rd of each of the three per spray now.
I avoid sexual
attention because I'm involved, and the pheromones are just experiments and fun for me. I know I could pull off a
lot more than just flirting, whether or not I use pheromones... but pheros certainly have made it easier.
Regardless, I don't want to end up in a situation that makes my girlfriend distrust me. So I avoid allowing
situations to become too sexual, because I know that women have their ways once they decide they really,
really want a man... That's not to say you should do the same thing, though, especially if you're looking
for someone.
I got curious about pherlure and
noticed some strange stuff.
http://www.wondersinscience.com seems to be a fake site. If you do a
google search, the only pages on the site are the articles on pherlure.
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&c2coff=1&q=site%3Awondersinscience.com&btnG=Search[
/url]
Also, the study they cite was never published (not found on pubmed). And di-dehydroepiandrostenone is
also not found in a pubmed search.
Finally, the study supposedly was at University of Illinois, Chicago, and
the only .edu page on it is this one: [url]http://www2.uic.edu/~mvilch1/ssdnews/research/novelpheromone.html
which is at the U of IL, Chicago.
That page is gone, but the cached version of the page says it was done
at U of Chicago (which is a private school and completely different from U of IL at Chicago)!
http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:SxFab99smd8J:www2.uic.edu/~mvilch1/ssdnews/research/novelpheromone.html+
di-dehydroepiandrosterone&hl=en
Wonder in Science also says the study was at U of Chicago.
So
basically it's all fabrication and lies.
They also have another fake site!
http://www.ihealthjournal.com/findinformation/hormonecenter/pheromone7912-009.html
It also has no
pages other than articles on the fake
study.
[url]http://www.google.com/search?q=site:ihealthjournal.com&num=100&hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&safe=off&filter=0[/
url]
This would be silly if it wasn't so messed up!
That study was fake and posted on a
student's account page. The school took it down. And you're right, it wasn't U of Chicago.

I guess that would makes
sense that the article was fake considering that only the abstract was available and they used a trade named product
for their study.
The abstract mentions pherlure by name which would bring the results of the study into question.
I believe that a scientist would realize that using a trade named product in their study would cause more difficulty
than just using the chemical name.

:thumbsup:Catlord thanks
again for all your clarifications and detailed explanation. I follow in everything you are saying. I feel quite
confident that that I will get the same effects you did. It's the same thing as with drugs the vast majority reacts
a certain way and then some get the side effects. With me everything always has the effect that it's supposed to
have and I never fall into the category of side effects or does not work. I am feeling really good and also thanks
for pointing out the fact about confidence. That is so true. It's by far the key element. I have a very high
self-esteem and I work on it daily with self affirmations and other things.
:hammer: Also I will defenitively be
loving all the experimenting. Plus, I am going full out for the sexy like you were saying. Without a doubt. I
don't have a girlfriend and there is so many absolutly glossy and immaculate girly gurls around. I already been
having some fun with APC around 8 drops and I feel the pull of my own aura. I truly think everything is different
like I have stepped in a different dimension. Now that is with APC which everyone says it's scented water. This
should be a riot. I just need to make sure to do my homework with some sexy gurl tutors from every class.
:think:
Lastly in response to what I have read through out the whole thread, I study finance and just from the spec of
marketing I know, I was under the assumption that lying in marketing is not only legal in every sense of the word
but also a common practice and encouraged. Don't we see it all over the place. America's favorite fries, The #1
this, The Best Ever, Never Before Seen, The Choice of who knows, 100 times better, Double Strength, Lifetime
Everything and soo many more. I mean they are lying. Most likely the fact that it's legal does not make it right
but it seems like it is what it is. Of course I could be wrong. It's a crazy society and I myself get sucked in to
all sort of things regularly. Even when I am watching out for it constantly.
:rolleyes:Anyways everything else is
fantastic and I am waiting on everything before I place the order to get the full arsenal of superstar products.
Everybody have a super day!

I just
received it today I and smelled it.IT SMELLS LIKE ACQUA DI GIO I wouldnt be surprised if it was Acqua Di Gio.Its
obviously NOT A MONE COLOGNE.Its a marketing scheme from Phelure to leech off of this site.
Have you notice
only these "strangers" are praising about it?(Im not naming names they know who they are)
Have you noticed
these "strangers" only post on this Phelure thread and not any other?
This DHEA whatever it is no one else
ever heard of it?
I notice they try to mimic our mone conversations to make it seem like one of us but they
just want to keep the thread on the front page for more attention.
Then try to say it works well with
Love-scent products so they hopefully can make a sale?
I was a sucker and now Im exposing "Manure Phelure" as
a fake and WARN EVERYBODY ABOUT IT.
I love this site and you know I tell it like it is and I dont want to see
anyone here get conned like I did.
Course it's crap. Look, the phone #
in the study has never existed the past few years. The school's social sciences dept never heard of the
study.
There chart is stolen directly from APC, and photoshopped, and much of the ad/sales copy is taken from
APC.
And much of APC's copy seems to come from some sort of German product from 1992 - another case of
plagiarism - that's why IPD/APC doesn't complain.
Some of the copy comes from the Alter Ego description at
the Pheromone Store! Look at the "don't use too much" type copy
And the student account where the study was
posted was removed .... likely due to fraud?
ANd the assistant of Martha McClintock at U of Chicago was
unable to find the study.
They generated fake press on a fake study, making the wrong people look bad. Call
any of those magazines, and they won't be happy

There's not anything screwy with Pherlure's
marketing. It's called fraud.
It's fraud. It's deception. It's wrong. And thank god, it's illegal. One
of the few things that should be, since fraud is just form of theft. It's not marketing.
Marketing is real
work. Fraud is the easy way out taken by villains. The two are totally different.
The punishments are also
different. Excessive hyperbole deserves mistrust. Fraud deserves removal from society.

To my nose, it definitely does not smell like Aqua Di Gio. Smells
like Eternity to me, or maybe Cool Water. That's partly why I wear it, because I like Eternity.
By the way,
part of the reason people seem to post only here about Pherlure is because the moderators move threads about it and
merge them with this one.
There's also no big mystery about "strangers" posting about it, because they're
new to 'mones and it's exciting for them, just like it was for you at first. And a lot of the "strangers" talking
about Pherlure these days are younger guys who are too young to be trying to sell it. As for me, I'm not making
money on Pherlure. I signed up to be a distributor, but then decided against it because of the marketing BS and the
fact that my business isn't pheromones.
There's no evil insidious attempt to "mimic" your mone
conversations. And by the way, when I say it works with love scent products, not only am I stating a fact, but I
don't sell pheromones for anyone, so I guess you're wrong on that.
I'm curious to hear your story, though.
What happened that you feel like you were conned? I mean hell, it's blatantly obvious that Pherlure's marketing
is BS to high heaven. That it works for me, I can't help. And because it works for me, I don't understand why
they would be committing advertising fraud. But since I don't sell it, as long as it keeps working for me, I
don't care who else buys it. So let's hear why you're so upset with them. It can't be that you bought a bottle
and it simply didn't work... you sound too P-O'ed for that.

Would you like to clarify what you mean? To date, the

We have and will
continue to merge relevent threads together, it only makes good sense. Starting a bunch of disparete threads about a
single product just makes it hard for people looking for information.
Platinum Fox makes a good point. It does
look pretty suspicious when a half dozen new members join and all want to talk about the same competitor's product
that is already the subject of some pretty sleazy marketing methods. When a dozen new threads are started on the one
product by these new members, despite the many other products out there, it looks even worse. When those same new
members start making comments that seem to imply we moderators may be censoring the discussion, we start getting
downright suspicious. That said, Catlord, would you please explain your comment regarding disapearing posts with any

Not only was pherlure the only product to get five stars, but it was the only one that

I am a stranger and a noob
myself. I had some free time over christmas break and decided to look into pheromones again. I researched them about
1 year earlier and didnt buy anything. When searching for pheromones I came across the 5 star site which
unfortunately sold me on Pherlure. I cannot say that pherlure doesn't work but I also cant say there is no such
thing as a purple cow. Perhaps these other strangers are like me and just had too much time and money laying around
over christmas break.
Catlord seems credible enough from his threads on multiple topics and there seem to be a
few other people giving this product praise but I decided to return it myself because there is almost no way to
personally prove that pherlure behaves like a pheromone in one months time.
cheers Catlord keep up the good

I was just becoming curious

thought they were being deleted as a form of censorship. I didn't delete them. What exactly did you want to

Hmmmm?Why

Platinumfox, I'm not
defensive at all. I disagree with you. It's not the first and won't be the last time I disagree with someone.
But I'm also not going to cower because someone does not agree with me. Pherlure works for me. Call it what you
will, but it does.
You have every right to your opinion, but I'm not here to pick a fight nor finish one.
I've grown tired of the fighting over Pherlure. If you don't like it, don't use it. I couldn't care less.
Fighting over it doesn't make any sense. I'm only here to discuss things that interest me, not sell stuff. So
don't demonize me for speaking the truth as I have experienced it.
And Ilana does not post here because she has
nothing to say. She is one of the women I have encountered on whom Pherlure has an effect, by the way. She also
seems to like TE, AE and EW, in case you were wondering.
I was not trying to say Pherlure was a five star
product. I was merely trying to describe the web page. That web page has it listed as five stars. Perhaps I
should have phrased it differently.

Pherlure want to capture any attention that they can, even if it means negative attention.

James, I respect you as a researcher
and scientist, but it seems to me that what I read above is a way of saying that I am somehow affiliated with
Pherlure and trying to sell for them through this thread. Quite frankly, I find that insulting, and insults don't
do much for respect.
I don't care if you agree with me or not, but I think the only reason this thread is such a
hot button issue is because nobody else has an open mind about it. If it was treated with the same attitude any
other product gets treated with, nobody would be writing in this thread! Nobody but me, since I enjoy sharing my
hits. And I would share my hits if they were from SOE, APC, Pherlure, AE, or TE. Hits are hits.
Now it's
become apparent that because I have experiences that a number of you consider impossible based on faulty logic, I am
becoming the target of increasing negativity. The negativity is unreasonable and shows that some people here have
rigid thinking. If you disagree with me, fine, but do you have any experience with Pherlure? Did you ever try to
put it through any testing? Going by some moronic ad campaign says nothing about the product at all. It speaks
solely to the stupidity of the advertiser.
That said, have someone who has some Pherlure and didn't like it send
it to you, and do some tests on it for Christ's sakes! Do some tests. See what happens. Have a friend test it.
Blind and double blind test it. The more scientific the better! I don't care if you buy any in order to test it.
But when you test it, assume nothing. Let the evidence of your tests speak for themselves. Right now, your opinion
is just that, and based only on advertising. I on the other hand, see results in real life, and they don't go away
just because the advertiser is an idiot!
Until you have scientific evidence that Pherlure is garbage, and I mean
experiments and real science, your opinion is not of Pherlure, it's of the advertising campaign. My experiences
may not be hard science, but they're a hell of a lot closer than analyzing a product's validity based on the
advertising used to sell it!
Finally, that you would suggest censorship to squelch a point of view you disagree
with based on this astoundingly poor logic is nothing less than flabbergasting. What kind of research did you do on
SOE before you started selling it, if you're so quick to judge another product based on the advertising? It makes
me wonder. And doubt.
C'mon Catlord. Your're being
absurd.
SOE is based on published research about the pheromones that are in it.
Pherlure is a fake
product claiming to use a nonexistant chemical (di-dehydroepiandrosterone) and citing fake studies which are
promoted on fake sites.
Do you see a difference?
catlord17
01-24-2006, 09:51 PM
XVS, my point is to draw
attention to the fact that deciding a product cannot work based solely on second hand information (in this case,
advertising) is absurd. And also to draw comparison to the contrast between the tests that one got, but not the
other. If it's fake, why not come up with scientific proof? Why not crush my argument with that?
Fake
advertising does not speak well of the product, no. But if I was to describe a Volkswagen Beetle as "the best car
ever", would that mean it was not a vehicle? That is along the lines of the logical fallacy being committed here.
The advertising does not really tell you whether the product does what they claim. That's why there is such a
thing as independant product testing.
Explain to me why I have gotten better hits with this "snake oil" than with
anything else, even when the subjects did not know I was wearing anything? If it's just the power of suggestion,
how can I keep repeating these experiences, with people who don't know I use pheromones at all? I know it's
easier to just write me off as a liar and an astroturfer and all that, but the truth is, I do have these
experiences, and my best hits are always from Pherlure, or some mixture containing Pherlure.
False advertising,
yes. But the product has something in it that does have an effect. I don't know what... but I do know there's
something functional in it.

it is that we think the way forward is. Wow, but some people take it a bit far and just get crude.
:hammer: Also
yes I am brand new, newbe, stranger whatever and if it takes going around making a couple dozen you go... posts like
some others to raise my rank and not be called some stranger I'll do it. Just let me know. Because I am a
loyal customer and I'll make it happen. What's the top rank?
:think: Finally somebody tell me if I am wrong but
I was under the impression that competition was good for business. This due to the fact that nobody can develop an
entire or the whole market. Then only being responsible for developing the portion of the market that one can
personally develop. There is nothing that's everything. Unless it's not profitable for the next person. On that
note IMO it's the owner's right to just squash this if he does not like it and I would see nothing wrong with it
because whatever hurts the bottom line is just bad everything. Anyways, I am loving the forum and everyone have
super day. I received my first LS order so tomorrow should be outstanding and crazy fun. Peace:thumbsup:

I cannot find a
single post of yours in this thread that has been deleted. You DO have replies showing on the board to Platinum
Fox's posts too.
Try logging out so the "Reply" button goes away, maybe that way you can just READ the posts
you're claiming were deleted.
Interestingly enough, we had ANOTHER guy going for "censorship martyrdom" earlier
this week. This guy deleted 7 of the 19 posts that he had on this thread HIMSELF, and then PM'ed a moderator to ask
where his posts had gone. I find it very curious that now that it's known that we mods can see deleted posts, AND
who deleted them, you're suddenly claiming that we're deleting posts that never existed.
Just in case anyone
doubts that we know what posts have been deleted, and by whom, here's the text of just one of the user-deleted
posts from the guy who tried the censorship scam earlier this week:
"cat i sent u a pm.."
Ring a bell? ;)
I strongly recommend that you make your reply, and ALL further inquiries regarding missing posts, by PM as
specified in the sticky threads.

checked back to 1/11/06 and not one post from you had been deleted. What exactly are you trying to prove? I'll tell
you right now that your public accusations of censorship and false claims have me pretty unhappy. If you had a
problem with our actions, you should have come to any one of the mods through PMs and we would have helped you.
Instead, you make false accusations here?
Getting back to the point of comparing
Pherlure with SOE we have:
Pherlure
- claims to use a chemical that doesn't exist:
di-dehydroepiandrosterone
- refers to studies which never happened
- created fake web sites to make people
think the fake studies really happened
- deliberately went way out of its way to deceive people
SOE
-
uses real compounds that have been studied extensively - androstenone and androsterone
- is based on real studies
that were published in peer-reviewed science journals
And yet Catlord compares the two as if each were just
as likely to be a reasonable product.
Get this straight: a product with fake ingredients and deliberately
faked studies using multiple fake websites is NOT a legitimate product.
No way, no how.
This is an
entirely different category of fake than any other pheromone product on the market. Others use exaggerated claims or
have hardly any pheromones etc. But only Pherlure actually has gone to the trouble of creating fake sites and fake
studies.
In doing this, they've gone over the line from marketing to fraud. Plain and simple.

Thanks for stating the obvious XVS (and
others). I will add that I am one of few Forum participants who is not anonymous. Instead, by virtue of my domain
(since 1996), I have referenced page after page of scientific studies that directly relate to the
concept of human pheromones, as well as to the overwhelming support for use of compounds that have been validated
for use in products, and that have established their usefulness through anecdotal support.
Products, like
Pherlure, insult the intelligence of anyone involved in research, and most people in general. That's why I
advocated censorship -- which I thought was the best way to eliminate any attention to a product that has no
scientific worth; it has only deceitful marketing.
Consider what might happen if a regulatory agency began
to investigate the Pherlure fraud. Repercussions might involve products that legitimately incorporate research
findings on known compounds. If anyone has followed the stem-cell research scam out of Korea, they have a better
idea of these likely repercussions. Perhaps we could have another Forum discussion classification for "Garbage
products/topics." Censorship could thereby be avoided, while still maintaining the integrity of the Pheromone
Forum.

i bought the stupid pherlure,
going to try and and hope it works for about 2 weeks, then im gettin my money back. Im glad they refund 100% of my
money before 30 days, so at least i wont get ripped. And, doing more research led me here, and im planning on
trying SoE because its seems to be the favorite starter.
Oh, the reciept on the order form is basically all
blank, like it was printed on computer paper, and not by an actually company, and it says 'Pherlure Colonge' not
pheremone this or whatever.
It may make a good cologne, if one is willing to pay for it....
to all like me
- return your pherlure! and buy from love-scent!!
Oh, can anybody give meother good begginer products, the ones
that are better to try first.
thanks!

Ladies and gentlemen... we
seem to have a growing misunderstanding here.
Let me state my point.
It does not follow logically that
a product is X because the advertising states Y. There are laws to limit advertising because an advertiser can say
whatever they like about a product otherwise. I'm not arguing that there is no fraud going on, or what have you.
I'm arguing that logically, you can not know that a product works - or does not - by the advertising! That is my
only point.
And it's not worth arguing over. Think what you will.
Sure, I suppose there's some
probability that a fake product using fake ingredients that's advertised using fraud could actually
work.
There's also some probability that all the air in a room will spontaneously move to one corner,
leaving you to suffocate in a vacuum.
Both probabilities are so vanishingly small that they aren't worth
considering.

In catlord's defense, how do
you really know that any pheromone product works? I believe they do but there have been people on the forum that
could't get results no matter what they tried. How do we know that they were not right and that we are not
imagining it? Our results could be no more than the projection of our belief that they will work. The same could be
applied to catlord. All our results are very subjective.
Personaly, I believe that if you used distilled water
and told people they were wearing a magic potion that a certain percentage would get results. Catlord may be getting
the results he claims but it also may be a placebo. Indeed, my own results may be a placebo. I don't believe that
but what do I KNOW?? Catlord believes his results and I'd imagine most of you out there believe your own results or
you wouldn't be here. How about if we stop trying to kill the messenger and only address the product issues?
I
didn't appreciate his implication that we were censoring his posts and I think we deserve an apology for that. But,
at the same time, I believe it is possible that catlord believes what he writes.
wow. what a debate.
anyways this
is my first post, i've been lurking and reading this thread for a while now and i finally signed up and it took a
couple of days before my account finally got validated. anyways now i can give my 2 cents on the topic.
anyhow
like one of the guys previously mentioned in this thread, i did had some money leftover from christmas and i
stumbled upon that pheromone review site that gave Pherlure the 5 star rating. after reading that and stumbling
along the review done by askmen and finding another (now i realized it's probably another cheap scam) site/blog
where it showed pictures and a video of girls with the Pherlure bottle in hand, and i hastily bought 3 bottles of
the thing. (and having a number of drinks before hand didn't help my judgement as well)
since i live in canada
it will naturally take longer for it to arrive and i'll be waiting a good 7-10 days. during the time i was waiting
i decided to look more into what i hell i bought and whether it was worth the $100+ i just blew my money on. and so
i found this forum. honestly had i stumbled on this forum beforehand i would have never ever bought any bottles of
Pherlure at all.
i finally got the stuff a couple days ago, and as it says the package was quite discreet and it
was labeled as Atomizer. well i tested it out yesterday and today at my university that i go to, and it was just
like any other boring day on campus. i've never tried pheromones before so i would know what i true hit would be,
but all i know so far is that using Pherlure, nothing out of the oridinary happened. on the bright side it does
smell quite nice, but after a side by side smell sniffing and trying it on for two days i know for a fact that it is
NOT acqua di gio (which is part of my cologne colllection). it does smell briefly similar, but definately not the
same thing, unless it might have been mixed in with something.
i probably won't refund the bottles as i threw
out the receipt already (no idea why i did that), but hopefully more research on the forums i might purchase and add
some unscented stuff here from LS and make my own creation.
so that's my 2 cents so far, i will definately post
more if i notice something different with my Pherlure develops.
I can't believe you thought that
site/blog was real. This is kind of depressing.

I concur completely with Belgareth. I don't think that Pherlure is anymore effective
than a bucket of urine, but what agency regulates arificial pheromones? Any of them? Many many intelligent people
think we are all foolish suckers.
There are agencies against consumer
fraud...
catlord17
01-25-2006, 09:22 PM
Let me try explaining my point
another way. Hypothetical: If I take a bottle of androstenone, and add some scent, and then advertise it with all
sorts of garbage that's not true said about it, but never mention anywhere that it has a substance in it that is
known to work, the fact remains that:
1. It still has androstenone in it, and
2. Some people will see
results, and some will not.
Can anyone point to faulty logic in my conclusion? Really, if I am wrong, I'd
love to understand where. I simply fail to see the fault in my logic.

But who regulates the Pheromone companies? I'm am going on Bruce's
word, because I think he is a honest man. But are all the companies on the same level of integrity? If I take a
Perception gel pack to be tested, will it have what the makers say it has, and in the exact amounts as advertised?
Too many main line business marketers oft times screw the consumer, so why would this below the radar business be
any different. Not looking for a debate, but just food for thought.

When someone buys a pheromone
product, they don't automatically know what to look for. A lot of people assume,. just as I did at first, that if
they see no results in the first couple days, that it doesn't work.
Now of course we all know that to
reasonably and fairly test a product, it has to be used for a period of time, and in a variety of situations and
concentrations. So, how many of you can say you have tried Pherlure? And of those who can, how many of you gave it
the same sort of testing you'd give any of Bruce's current products? Just curious. Because much to my surprise,
APC, which I had originally written off as BS, seems to be making a significant contribution to my current favorite
mix when I use three drops at a time.
If you haven't tried it, you really have no opinion of value... and if
you tried it, but didn't test it well, you really can't have much of an opinion there either. That's why I
don't go around saying anything about androstadienone, for instance. I've not had any of it to test in a
reasonable fashion.
How many of you here who are insisting that I'm delusional have tried Pherlure and
tested it the same as whatever you currently favor?
belgareth
01-26-2006, 04:19 AM
You have to ask yourself why we
would believe you are getting those results. As I said, you may believe you are but it may just as well be your
imagination. Since there is good evidence that the whole product is a bunch of faked data how do we even know there
is anything in it but alcohol and water with a few drops of perfume?
You're expecting everybody on the forum
to take your testing at face value when you yourself are an unknown value. Other than your own statements, the forum
users have no way of knowing whether you are even real. Put yourself in their places and think about what you would
do.

You are right, you don't always get what you pay for.
But I think it's much more
likely that the government will make this illegal than set up a regulatory agency to monitor whether we're properly
getting our andro sex juice. The best way for people to educate each other is through passing knowledge in the
pheromone community, and keeping it our community.

01-26-2006, 06:58 AM
Alright, Belgareth, I see your
point. I'm an unknown. I'm just used to being treated with more respect, and I get that respect in person
because I deserve it. You guys are probably much more used to dealing with lowlifes on the Internet than I am. I
tend to expect honesty and I default to being honest. However, you guys cannot know whether that is true or
not.
That doesn't change the fact that the argument against Pherlure doesn't hold water using the logic
that it can't work if it's poorly advertised. And because that is true, there's no grounds for argument.
I would dearly love to see Pherlure scientifically analyzed for content, and tested for effect. If I could,
I'd test it myself. I'd do something like 500 or 1000 test subjects to start with, and test them for blood
pressure, heart rate, brain activity, thermal imaging signature, breath rate, mood, thoughts, and so on. I think
that would be absolutely fascinating. I'm dying to know what's really in it, since nothing else I have gives the
same results. Is it Rone? I'd also like to do the same sort of tests on other products as well.
About the
only tests I can do are the ones I have done. I wear it, and then I watch people. I prefer to watch people who do
not know me, because they're less likely to be aware that I'm doing an experiment. I do things like put some on
in the bathroom, and then search for someone who interests me and sit down near her. Then I observe how she
responds for about 5 minutes, and initiate conversation. Sometimes I go to parties and observe the effects on both
sober and inebriated people, as well as people who don't like me, vs those who do, and those who aren't interested
already vs those who are. I try to do all my experiments as blind tests, and I try to be as "me" as possible to
avoid contaminating the results with my own knowledge. Double blind would be interesting, too, if I could find a
way to do that.
I suppose the only other test I could try would be the "Chair in a dentist's office"
experiment type. I think I am going to try that experiment with Pherlure, TE and AE, if I can.
belgareth
01-26-2006, 07:17 AM
Agreed that the argument does
not hold water. But, by the same token, your claims don't either, especially when it could be, for all we know, no
more than water/oil/alcohol and some perfume. Your testing, even assuming absolute honesty on your part, is no more
than subjective and of almost no value.

It seems that a conclusion to
this thread would be there is no way to prove or disprove at this time whether or not pherlure is a legit product
sold under fraudulant claims or a fraudulant product sold under fraudulant claims.
Even if strangers or noobs
came on this forum praising the product no ones mind will change. Unfortunately I really wanted to know if it really
worked or not and there have only been 2-3 users that have claimed it has worked for them and 2-3 who claim it did
not work for them.

Coincidentally I got into a long conversation with a serious steroid chemist this morning and at one
point out of the clear blue sky Pherlure came up. If I tell you what he said, you wouldn't believe me, so I asked
him to post the info himself. Hopefully, we'll hear from him soon. Me, all I know is they are major spammers.

hi
First post! Upon "discovering" pheromones I have been an avid reader of this forum - even the
archives. I have also made several purchases and am trying things out. I have also been reading this thread since
its birth. My question is was there ever any follow up on what the serious steroid chemist said? (see above quote
from Bruce).
Love this forum!

It is basically a "Buyer beware" deal. Nobody is forcing anyone to buy any

the fraudulant claims. It is then up to the individual to decide for himself, if he will take a chance on that

Ok been trying pherlure for
about 3 days, and i only can tell i am more confident and a little less anti-social, which is probably only a
placebo like effect. Since i am a person that doesnt ever quit, i will be using pherlure for about 25 days, and
after that i will return it, and get my $40 back. I will also take out as much from the bottle as i can before i
return it, and keep that for possible future experiments.
And to all you pherlure flammers, dont flame just
yet. Before critiqueing it, why dont you buy a bottle of it and test it. Even though i have not drawn conclusions
yet in my own personal experience, i have the right to an opinion on the effects of this product. The site has the
pherlure product has the same money back guarantee, like Bruces products at LC. I will say im ordering a men's
sample, because its 1 cent, and possibly a SoE spray. Also, i really have NO IDEA even if LC's stuff will work,
but thats why we experiment. We cannot say something is bad, imperfect, and is a total P.O.S.
To prove
something works or not, replicate the experiment with a very similar procedure like that mentioned by Catlord.
Gather some data and prepare the results. Also, One must have a control and multiple experimental groups, consider
a bottle with regular fragrance and 2 other bottles with pherlure and other phermone prducts. Also, use similar
amounts of concentrations and same time for increasing the amount used. Also, all experiments must be double-blind
and if possible, done by mutliple people. The double-blind procedure should keep out subjective and bias
information from changing the results of the data.
I congradulate Catlord for finding postive results, whether
because of a placebo or the contents of the product. If he can get some poontang, then what the hell, thats a good
thing!
If this forum was the general ideas of everyone else, science would be put in an ugly and evil
position. I could claim that horse semen cures cancer...and even if it did, i think i would be flammed for
this...(sick sh*t, though truthfully human semen, when eaten, prevents cancer...(WTF! LOL!)). And someone could
also claim that medicines like ritalin help control ADHD in children, and could be flammed by some idiot (maybe a
Scentologist *cough* *tom cruise*).
So, to conclude, dont go be ignorant until you have tested and have come to
a conlusion based on true results. A theory may be proposed, but a theory means nothing unless back with solid
proof of data. Replication of the experiment is madatory so that other's can prove if it works or not.

pattern of newbies who are a wee bit too familiar with each other and the Pherlue agenda.
markosans
01-26-2006, 03:54 PM
yes, a strange but true fact,
pherlure was the first advertised, and as they procaliamed 'pheremone' product i saw. Im always very skeptical
about these things, but since the price wasnt out of bounds, and the 100% money back garantee, i was like whatever,
give it a chance and if nothing happens, send it back. Makes sense? i decided to check the chemical formula - the
Di-DHEA thing, and after a few links, i came across the pherolibrary, and then this forum and love-scent. Soo...
yes i may be a newb, but you and everyone were all newbs at some point.
If there was no money back at
pherlure, i would not have purchased. But then again, it led me, and others, here, which is good because, while
still remaining skeptical even here with LS until the bottle is in hand, i have found more products to help gain
that edge with the ladys!
The whole thing is to see what can make people get the most poontang, so whatever gets
you some is what should be used.

01-26-2006, 04:28 PM
and,
what is one product most
reccommended to try first?
im getting a free sampler of course, and am thinking about SoE, pheros, and/or chikara.
I dont want to spend over $100 on my first buy, but I want one solid product that would be maybe the best to start
with. To briefly describe myself for a good selection(s), im kind of anit-social because i dont really care, im
average (not hot stud, but not really ugly nerd), i am pretty intelligent, i am pretty skinny, am honest and not a
total jackass. I do have friends, but i can say sometimes i feel like a shadow because i just watch because i dont
feel like really saying anything relavant in a normal conversation. Im young, and i want to see if this stuff will
show me that edge. Im a junior in high school, 17 years of age. I do get limited attention from woman, but i feel
being this young doesnt make me really care about women; not that of a sexual animal. I am about 5 ft 9 inches, and
am currently only 125 pounds... but am currently trying to add some muscle to not look like a total wimp. I like to
kind of stay in the background and in a sense let the girls start, and thats what might be needed in this situation.
Thanks for the help in selecting a good starting product.

How much more

honestly, whats so unreasonable
about trying something if theres a money back gauruntee?
i tried it, cant say i got any results, but other then
that i love the smell of it. im kinda in a cologne nut stage, where i love to try new colognes and find ones that
smell great. as for just a cologne, i think it smells awesome, but i dont wear it because it wears off too quickly.
i have noticed sometimes that smelling it makes me happier, so on occaision i open it and smell it just to make
myself feel better. but that is most probably because i just love the smell and have probably linked it with being
in a good mood
a little update with me and my
Phelure..
was over at my gf's place last night and had Phelure on... and everything was just about the same
old same old. so no she's wasn't hornier than usual or anything, it was just like any ol night.
i've only had
it for 3 days and it hasn't done any good so far, cept smelling great... but i'll keep testing and will post any
findings.
