You all wanted an answer to the question of the finest perfume, and here mine is.

Amouage.

I\'m almost finished saving my money for it, but have already gone through a few samples. This perfume, whether the men\'s or women\'s formula, is to die for.

A perfume of kings and queens, speaking literally, it is devastating as a romanic attractant. It is virtually flawless.

It is almost purely natural, if not absolutely so, and contains all the finest and rarest substances of perfuming, including the finest and rarest silver frankincense, myrrh, rock rose, jasmine, patchouli, sandalwood, peach, and lily of the valley. It contains real civet, ambergris, and deer musk (the ancient, mystical aphrodisiac combination), and the finest versions of these! The animal fixatives give the perfume incredible lasting power.

Its powdery, musky finish is the perfect complement for all pheromones. For those of you that think there is some kind of magic to the baby powder scent, this is sorcery indeed!

It is in a different class altogether than any of the perfumes or colognes discussed in this forum (not that some of those aren\'t excellent). The formula was 2000 years in the making. The new Dia version (which is not even my favorite version for men) has been called \"the greatest accomplishment in the history of perfuming\" by experts, partially because it took 200 years just to get this certain kind of rose into it in just the right way when the prized rose was a certain number of minutes old. Many of the finest cathedrals and temples use it for ceremonies.

Amouage, which means something like \"waves of emotion\" in French, was commisioned by the Sultan of Oman to revive the lost perfuming tradition of the region. The Sultan told one of the greatest French Masters, who had created perfumes fo Chanel, Hermes, and others, to \"spare no expense.\" So he didn\'t.

At $200.00 a pop, it is a bargain. The company loses money on it at this price, but continues to offer it out of respect for the tradition. For men I like the original version for attracting women, and for women I like either the original version, or the \"Dia\" version; which is for day wear and has a more prominent rose note.

The original bottles are made of gold. It is for the most special of occasions. You will smell very rich, in both senses of the word.

By the way, since this the phero forum, I should note that the first time I wore it, a 38 year old woman I never met before invited me back to her house after an hour long conversation. She mauled me with sloppy kisses as soon as we walked through the door, and told me she wanted to lick me all over. She kept jamming her nose against my wrists swooning over the smell (\"Ooooohmygaaaawd!\"), so I think the perfume had a lot to do with it. I left with my pants intact out of not wanting to hurt her feelings down the road, but she had already left a message on my machine by the next morning asking me out. By the way, I discovered later I was wearing the women\'s version.

Oh, and here is the link, in case anybody is interested: ;)

Dr. Smell this: IF you could pick one product in your arsenal, would it be Amourage, or a pherome? Just one product...

Also, are you recomending Amourage Gold or Amourage Dia?

Yes, Bruce. That\'s also the place I\'ve been bragging about on the forum -- The Perfume House on Hawthorne Blvd. The men\'s classsic formula is $170.00 there. Ask for Chris Tsefalis, as he is one of the world\'s foremost experts and \"Noses\", a great storyteller, and a super guy. Their website sucks, but you can use it to contact him:

I would pick Amouage, no question, over any pheromone. For one thing, the animal fixatives have hundreds of pheromones already in them.

Hmmmm...Blows everything else out of the water? So far, I\'d have to say everything commercially available, yes. But keep in mind that just because a perfume is The Greatest, doesn\'t mean you will like it the best on yourself. You might like a $40.00 perfume, or whatever...

As I said, for guys I would recommend the Gold formula, but make sure you say the original, classic version, as some people mix it up when you say \"Gold\".

That might be an original, not a knockoff, but keep in mind there are various produsts the perfumery sells, and that I am recommending the original, classic version, due to the aphrodisiac bass notes in that version!

It\'s stocked by Harrods apparently. So perhaps I\'ll take a short tube ride to see my friend Mohammed and see how much he charges for a small bottle. If I\'m lucky, I may be able to persuade the nice lady behind the fragrance counter for a few samples /ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif

Are you referring to the Amouage Gold version?

http://www.amouage.com/amouage_gold_men.htm (\"http://www.amouage.com/amouage_gold_men.htm\")

Nordstrom\'s said they don\'t have it but could get me a sample. They have the silver cristal version in stock: $110.

I don\'t know about the lead crystal. It\'s been shown that wine stored in lead crystal leaches lead from the crystal. I don\'t want to be putting that on my skin. The bottle looks great, but if I got it I think I would decant it into some plain glass...

bivonic
03-03-2003, 12:26 PM
Yeah that\'s the stuff. Based on what I read in this thread I\'d recommend either the Gold version or the sampler, I\'d be hesitant to layout $100+ for the silver unless I knew it was worth it.

Whitehall
03-03-2003, 01:20 PM
Wine is slightly acidic, all that tannic acid. Lead in the crystal could leach out in this case, if porrly made. Perfume is in an alcohol base and probably not acidic to any degree. Plus, you will only be using tiny dabs of the stuff onto the skin - you ain\'t slugging down quarts of the stuff.

I wouldn\'t worry about the lead crystal bottle.

Good perfume has always been bottled in lead crystal. Read up on Lalique, for example.

OK, I am sold. But my sceptic alarms are all firing at a high rate when I hear that they don\'t make any money on their $200 perfume. Having worked for companies that produced EDP and EDT, I know that there were always higher margins on the high-priced items. I am sure that it\'s a great product and that many will find it worth the high price tag. But is there any credible evidence that they are selling this as a loss-leader, like a carton of milk?

Do they make anything on the $1,600 version that comes in the gold flask?

DrSmellThis
03-04-2003, 07:05 AM
I heard this personally from a \"nose\", a top professional in the industry. I can\'t confirm it.

I think one ingredient is like $5000.00/gram. So it wouldn\'t be suprising...This product is very different, and there is also the involvement of the Sultan that complicates things...

nonscents

Traditional is three sprays -- a big one to the chest and one on each side of the neck.

I say put on however much you want, wherever you want.; enough to cover your mones.

Keep in mind I had -mones on too. Tuesday I went into the coffee shop restroom and put some Amouage on. I came out and walked by a young hippie chick. She then stood motionlesss by my table with her tea untill I offered her a seat. She chose the chair directly in front of me. She sat in front of me and stared deeply into my eyes for a half hour, like in a real freaky, intense sort of way, and asked me for a walk. She told me she lives in the boondocks, and had a serious boyfriend she had just fallen in love with. She then asked me to meet her next Tuesday when she returns to town, and told me to call her. Outside, she gave me a grinding 5 minute full body hug like a pro wrestler. I tried to break away but couldn\'t. I finally do leave the coffee shop parking lot and go to the store to buy a cigar. An attractive, thin women (40 but looks 20 - pro hiker) gets behind me in line and tells me she\'s lonely because it\'s Fat Tuesday. So I take her across the street for some whiskey. An hour later we start talking about sex nonstop, and she says she wants to f*ck me immediately. She follows me out to my car to \"smoke with you.\" She says she\'s a lesbian, and doesn\'t normally do this. Again I escape with my pants intact. I picked a hell of a time to take a break from sex.

03-08-2003, 09:40 AM
What -mones did you have on?

bjf
03-08-2003, 09:44 AM
Staring deeply into your eyes would seem to be an indication of phermones, not smelling good.

I assume your experience with Amouage was with a sample vile? How many occaisions have you gotten to wear the cologne.

bjf

bivonic
03-08-2003, 10:07 AM
I disagree bjf, I think it could have been the combination. Or Amouage could make such a nice cover to have A1 type of neutralizing effects. Think of being able to OD w/o ANY negative effects, I\'m very curious as to what pheros &amp; what quantities DrSmell had applied.

Also based on his description I don\'t think it was from a sample vile since he mentioned a big spray to chest &amp; then to each side of neck. Think when my new order of WAGG arrives I\'ll break open the piggy bank &amp; go to Bergdorf Goodman &amp; pick me up some Amouage.

Keep \'em coming Dr.

bjf
03-08-2003, 10:22 AM
you don\'t know that he ODed on the mones though. And based on how much he knows about mones, I am sure he knows great combos for himself and has hits like this before.

MadDoctor
03-08-2003, 01:04 PM
Just the same, if these sort of hits were routine for him I doubt that he\'d be bringing them up as examples -- or forking out $170 for a bottle of the stuff!

bjf
03-08-2003, 01:44 PM
170 is like the price 3 bottles of another cologne. I see people with like 10 bottles of things. I would rather just get a couple. I hope Amouage is great, but let\'s be for real = expensive ingredients won\'t necessarily make the best tasting food. Amouage may be the best, I am just waiting to hear more of why Dr Smell thinks it is

So Dr Smell This, it\'s official we are all interested..What was your Mone application for that particular hit? ... /ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif

DrSmellThis
03-08-2003, 05:23 PM
We err when we separate -mones from smell, or think that natural perfuming ingredients don\'t contain -mones. Everything in nature is similar to everything else. The plant and animal ingredients of Amouage contain -mones. What do you think deer musk is composed of? Noting makes blood rush to your genitals faster than smelling straight, high quality deer musk. How about civet? Dogs have been known often to hump things on which civet was applied. 1000 years of perfumers think it works for humans too. Sandalwood contains several chemicals that are related to testosterone. Truffles contain -nol and celery contains -none. My nose tells me tobacco oil contains -none and maybe -rone. Jasmine and neroli (orange blossom) contain indole, which is in EW.

03-08-2003, 05:26 PM
What kind of mones does Amouge have? Is it the stuff we are familiar to?

DrSmellThis
03-08-2003, 05:28 PM
No, I just dabbed it from a sample vial. Now I have the bottle, though. I\'ve worn it like 5 times, producing the above 3 hit stories, and also a lot of more subtle things, especially women who were with other men flirting with me. /ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif

I was wearing 4 dabs NPA, 3 CS -nol, 1 CS -rone, 2 CS A1, and a small dab or two PI (way less than a drop).

DrSmellThis
03-08-2003, 05:49 PM
See above posts. The animal ingredients contain maybe hundreds of pheromones, and most of the traditional aphrodisiac essential oils are in the perfume. They all contain -mones too. We don\'t know all the ones they contain. -Mones have always been part of perfumery, just not the lab synthesized ones until recently.

03-08-2003, 06:15 PM
Are these mones more powerful than the ones Love-Scent has?

jonoboy
03-08-2003, 06:56 PM
Hey

I got my samples in the post today, got a sample spray of gold for men, sample spray of gold for women, dia for men, dia for women and some silver vials. I personally prefer silver, however, i did put a tiny drop of each on to a tissue just to smell, but they are nice....

DrSmellThis
03-08-2003, 10:27 PM
We don\'t need to ask the question like that.

The ones love-scent sells are isolated, powerful, and shown to be prominent for humans, but are incomplete.

We have identified some 200 human pheromones, and are using less than 10, all told, probably including WAGG.

DHEA and the ingredients in Amouage, I believe, can round out your profile.

Having said all that, high quality deer musk (plus just a hint of fine civet) is easily the most powerful phero-substance available in the world today for men, in my opinion, with the possible exception of heavy test./DHEA supplementation combined with exercise.

Unfortunately, good musk is extremely difficult to find, and is in very, very, very few colognes. Only the best have it. Amouage is just such a cologne. I have weeded through them for you all, folks. This information you all now have is not generally known, but we here are special. /ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif

DrSmellThis
03-08-2003, 10:31 PM
Before you decide which you like, test them out on your skin with a bunch of women in your target range.

The animal pheros are heaviest in the Gold version, which is my preference for our purposes. But if one is clearly better after all that, go for it, whichever.

Nutt
03-09-2003, 01:51 AM
Just to note 50ml of the gold version in a less fancy bottle are only $110 if you go to the botique, gold cologne ( at the bottom) section of the offcial site. the \'proper\' bottle is very flash if you like that sort of thing though /ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif

Incidentally, the l-s scent that is closest to Amouage is... drum roll... the Old AE!

Both have a soapy, powdery, musky rosy, lotiony finish to them.

Therefore, if you are looking for an inexpensive, all in one phero product to blend with Amouage, that one might work well.

It\'s a little hard to say. I think this is the type of scent that grows on you. At first I wasn\'t wild over it, I did like it but not obsessed. I smelled it a few more times, and it\'s grown on me a lot. I think it might be the best smelling one I have right now. I have Acqua di Gio, Le Male, Creed Imperial, Cool Water, Angel for Men.

03-10-2003, 05:46 PM
Well, I don\'t know. I\'ve been turning down so much sex lately I haven\'t had time to think about it. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif
It\'s just a perfume. But it fills a big niche, being brilliant, erotic and organic.

Don\'t buy it based on hopes that it will change your life or you\'ll be disappointed. You have to like perfume and want one of the best. But I think it\'s a good use for money if you have it, when you have it. Waiting, if you\'re short on $, makes you appreciate it more too. That\'s what I did. I\'ve known I liked it the best on me for a long time, but wanted to wait until the time was right.

DrSmellThis
03-10-2003, 06:00 PM
Yes. It\'s for sure the type that grows on you.

Notice how natural it smells compared to those others, even though they are among the better colognes. Just a little smoother and easier smelling.

It is very rich though -- malted milk shake rich. Many prefer a lighter scent than the Gold (e.g., Dia) for day wear.

And notice how sexy it smells the next day, even 24 hour later.

Chemical based colognes hit you over the head immediately with good smells, but don\'t grow on you very much.

Here was my day. I put on four squirts of that Amouage Gold sampler stuff. I also had SoE on with two dabs of NPA. People were chattier than usual, that\'s a common theme that ran through the day. When I first got there, I decided to talk to some people and this girl who is usually pretty flirty with me grabbed my side as she walked by, and this kid said \"Ooh some sexual tension over here.\" The effects died down as the day went along, probably because I didn\'t have much Amouage on. I couldn\'t really even smell it on myself after a while. I\'m going to try Amouage Dia tomorrow. I had a good day with Gold though.

They do all smell pretty beautiful, but for some reason, I can only seem to smell it on myself, no one else can, even if i ask them to go up close and have a whiff.... This is even after about 4-5 sprays of the sample atomizers they sent. I can still smell on myself after quite a long period of time, so why can\'t others smell it?

The smell lasts a very long time, but it\'s easy on the nose and rich instead of sharp and obnoxious like so many other colognes. The natural musk makes it blend into your body chemistry -- a good thing.

Ok .. I just grabbed a bottle of Amouage Gold. I must say ... I really don\'t like the scent, honestly .... but I am kinda addicted to it, I just can\'t stop smelling it, though I don\'t like the way it smells. It\'s not that hard that I wouldn\'t wear it, but it\'s nothing I\'d wear normally ... but this ... something is .. *sniff* .. just a sec. ... *sniff*.

I\'d say if it has half the effect on the opposite sex it\'s worth every (s)cent.

DrSmellThis
03-20-2003, 02:47 PM
That\'s the effect of the animal additives and precious flowers, especially the musk and jasmine. It could well be addictive, so watch out. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

It\'s different than the usual cologne smell, no doubt about it. More flowery, musky, and powdery. Not eveyone\'s cup of tea, for all occasions at least. It\'s pretty rich. But it\'s great for what it is, and you may find it growing on you.

I sometimes find, during the day especially, I don\'t want to smell that rich; so I opt for a simpler smell. I have an excellent Italian sandalwood cologne called Sandalo by Etro for those times. One strategy is to use more Sandalo and less Amouage, as they layer perfectly together. In fact the sandalwood cologne layers perfectly with all other colognes, since all of them contain sandalwood, and since it is such a basic smell.

**DONOTDELETE**

Sandalwood contains several testosterone related chemicals, reputedly including one that is very similar or identical to a pheromone released when a man gets an erection.

Jasmine has some narcotic-like compounds, and contains indole, which is in EW and gives poop it\'s characteristic smell. Yes we are, like other animals, all attracted to poop. So deal with it!

The only hope is to get to know perfumers and people in the field. Most of them are extremely secretive (like Erox is). I know of no books. My knowledge was extremely difficult to get, and I had to arrange some meetings with a pro perfumer whose scents I had been purchasing for years. Many of them lie like a sack of [bad word] once you do talk to them. You can get sort of raw chemistry on various essential oils, I think even on the internet. You have to put info together yourself.

Yes. Cedar in fact contains a chemical anologous to one released by a man after he\'s had sex. Perfumers use it often.

I received my bottle of Amouage Gold for Women three hours ago. Sneaked off into the bedroom and sprayed two sprays. Wow! It\'s heavenly and very very rich. Waited about 20 minutes before coming out into living room where S/O was working on his taxes to give it a little time to not overwhelm him. He hates practically every cologne in the world!

I didn\'t mention anything, didn\'t approach him, but instead just went about doing my normal routine. I knew I was near enough he could smell the scent now and then. He kept stopping what he was doing and coming around me leaning in close and asking me if I\'d like to go out to dinner tonight instead of cooking and just being almost flirty. Then he tried to go back to his work and I went about my business but. . .he just finally blurted out \"I can\'t concentrate because I want to f--k you\". . .

He\'s an oversexed kind of guy anyway so it is not a clear indication of the effect of the perfume but my instincts tell me it is this time. He was hellbent and determined to get all his tax work done today and we\'d already played this morning.

He is napping now. . . and I am sharing this info with you guys before I get ready to go out to dinner!

I feel absolutely rich, wild and exotic in this scent.

Six hours ago I had put on 1 drop of NPA/w, dab of PI/w and a little bit of PCC along with a drenching of Burt\'s Bees Apricot Baby Oil (thanks Elana!) So there are \"mones\" enhancement happening here with the cologne I am sure.

DrSmellThis
03-26-2003, 12:54 AM
Deer musk is best, but there are other natural musks (goat, zdravets, etc) that all have their uses. Civet is great too. Ambergris is not technically a musk.

Deer musk is best, but there are other natural musks (goat, zdravets, etc., which are less sweet and drier) that all have their uses. Civet is great too. Ambergris is not technically a musk but is wonderful when of decent quality.

All the synthetics have their place, but are woefully inadequate when isolated, in my opinion. Complex tends to be better, as a rule of thumb. The ones I like smell the nastiest, as a rule. Any of them are cool. There is one called animalis I like, which smells like nasty sweat. I\'d love to get some more of that. Ambrettolide is nice, but real ambrette seed is nicer. I have liked galaxolide in the past, but haven\'t used it in a while. Some I used to use I forget the names of. I need to smell a bunch of them again to bring my memory back. Muscone is a pretty basic one to have.
I like using some of the woody notes for a pleasant musky effect. If bruce had a perfumer\'s license, I\'d discuss bringing on board some pheromone analogues from perfumery. If any of you all have connections, PM me.

I just prefer real musk. That is what I use, as well as ambrette, costus, valerian, etc.

Why do you ask?

MadDoctor
03-26-2003, 12:28 PM
&gt; Why do you ask?

I\'m just too damned curious, and can\'t stop messing with things and trying to increase my understanding of them. I have some concern about the way wild civets are dealt with in Ethiopia, so would probably want to steer clear of civet (and ambergris, for similar reasons), but otherwise I\'m open to pretty much all possibilities. I don\'t see any reason to limit things to a couple dozen synthetic isolates, whether we\'re talking muscone or androstenol, so I also tinker with complex organics (e.g. copulins based on valerian extract and white vinegar rather than glacial acetic, valeric and isovaleric acids). It\'s a shotgun approach, and a lot of stuff in the blend is going to be inert, but nature\'s tendency to put synergistic combinations together makes me think that it\'s usually a good thing to try. Natural ingredients may also be cheaper and/or easier to get, as in the case of acetic acid vs. vinegar. Buying enough reagent-grade copulins to do tests with wipes out my hobby fund for the week, and leaves me with a litre or two of EW equivalent. How many lifetimes would it take for someone to use a litre of EW? /ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif So I have no problem with paying $1 for a litre of natural, 5% acetic acid instead of $19 and a two-week wait for 500 ml. of the pure stuff. It was going to get diluted anyway.

If you ever throw together a fragrance which you consider to be something special, in terms of combining natural pheromone-like substances and great smell, I\'d love to hear about it or even get some from you (since buying small quantities of some components is hard, I don\'t want to get a 55-gallon barrel!).

Some of the pheromone companies could use a little help in the fragrance department too, I spend more time trying to figure out how to cover up my scented pheromones than my unscented ones. I\'d take the smell of a little -nol over a cheap scented oil any day, but would be even happier with a great smelling pheromone cologne that had some natural helpers thrown in.

I didn\'t even know that perfumery required a license, but I\'ll be keeping my fingers crossed in the hopes that one will show up.

If you like natural copulins, try cumin oil sometime. Be warned, it\'s as strong as straight EW.

Basically what you\'re talking about is just perfumery.

A great copulin formula could be achieved combining cumin, ylang, rose, jasmine, coriander, valerian oil, clary sage, ambrette, cistus, honey oil, benzoin, and vetiver, using less of the stronger things. If you tell anyone, I\'ll have to shoot you, however. /ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif

I really like the scent of the Gold &amp; Dia, very very natural smelling.

Didn\'t get too many hits wearing them though, perhaps I need to apply them more liberally, but somehow I think I put enough on (spray on chest, 1 behind each ear &amp; 1 shared between wrists).

This stuff definitely grows on you, it\'s not a priority for me to pickup, maybe this summer when scents tend to travel more easily I\'ll revisit how much cash I can blow on it.

Yep, but the point I was making was even when I had women come right up to my neck to smell it, they were not overly impressed, they just said it smelled nice, even when I gave them the sales/marketing pitch of it being the most expensive perfume/cologne in the world &amp; some of the ingredients cost $3,000 a gram for a batch. Unless that set unrealistic expectations, either way, I have better luck with Angel/m &amp; Realm/m.

DrSmellThis

Young women typically expect to get hit immediately with an overly sweet, fresh, aromatic, perfect, artificial, smelling cologne, as are the more popular ones. The all-natural Amouage can be an acquired taste for them too. Think of MacDonalds versus gourmet food. The Big Mac might taste better at first, but you eventually learn which food is better.

That said, just because a perfume is great as a creation does not mean that you will like it the best, or like it on yourself.

**DONOTDELETE**
03-27-2003, 09:55 AM
It sounds to me like what it has going for it is naturalness and subtlety, which is perfect for intimate situations, but as DrST was saying, we\'re used to being hit over the head with a strong, identifiable (that\'s Curve! That\'s Boss! etc) scent.

So something that sneaks up on you may not impress at first.

But those are the scents that stay in your mind the most, somehow. I used to know this girl who had a small vial of patchouli she bought in Morocco and she would put one dab on her neck every day, no more no less. It drove me nearly crazy. That\'s the only girl I ever had a crush on, and a lot of it was that faintest whisper of good patchouli -- until she finally showed me the bottle, I could never quite figure out if that was just how she smelled, was it her soap, was it ... what??

That subtle whiff of something delicious is a huge tease.

Hmm .... you\'ve been right again Doc .. Amouage already grew on me ... and I really love it now /ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif. I just applied to much to my chest area and got hammered close to unconciousness by the top and mid notes. You can spray it more liberate to the wrist\'s and/or neck area, which I suggest because it leaves a nice Amber/Musk scent as soon as the top levels fade (ok ok ... this takes some time in this case I know, but it\'s worth to wait).
I gave my neck a good spray one morning and in the evening I had my GF sitting behind me while watching a movie. She rested her chin from behind on my shoulder and started to \"eat\" my neck ... and something else afterwards. /ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif Ok, I know, this is nothing sooo unusual, but she wanted to see this movie for weeks, this isn\'t often the case, but once she gets so fixed on a movie ... nothing .. nothing is able to distract her, besides burning her hair with a torch maybe (didn\'t try that).

I had applied 2 drops P10 1:2 solution about the same time in the morning, I don\'t think they still had an effect (about 15h later).

After reading about Amouage I ran to my local store bought the Gold $165 as a XMAS present to myself.
The smell is

pretty impressive, I had a blind date so I put on 3 sprays to chest, stomach and back. I also put a dab of PI on my

shirt on off I went. My date finally showed up and to make a long story short as been calling me everyday since. We

have a movie date tonight needless to say Amouge will be applied with a little PI on my clothes for good

measure.

Now I\'m not saying that Amouage had any affect on my situation, I have been dating for years with

success but I do feel that the scenes of smell can work to your advantage if you have the right mix of Cologne.


As for mones I have been using them for almost a year with no conclusive results but I am not a

quitter.

I\'ll keep you posted on my observations if any.

You can get samples of Amouage, and several of their other fragrances form

their site, as well. They offer a package of six, or so, for 425, and ship immediately. I got mine a few months ago.

...I personally like the Gold, but only for fine evening wear. I think you need a few years on you (like me

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif)to fully appreciate it, and get away with wearing it. Sophisticated

-- for kings, not boy toys. I do think it has more pheros (natural animal products) than the others mentioned, which

are lighter and better for day wear. Still, the others pack a punch for the ladies too.

...Yes, a terrible waste

of civet, as there was absolutely no risk to consumers of perfume. I guess there are other ways for the disease to

spread, so they felt they had to destroy the animals.

Hi

again, well my date was going to be a little late so I decided to grab a quick bite at Hooters (I’m no idiot) before

the movie.
Hooters had a nice selection of young waitresses that night.
The one that waited on me was a young

blond hottie.
Well to make a long story short after taking my order she came back and started to talk with me for a

long while about traveling and so on.

Now I’m not going to say that this is a hit because it is the job of a

waitress to engage the customer to make them feel comfortable in spending more cash therefore a bigger tip.
I must

admit I picked Hooters for a reason to see if my Amouge and deer musk mix would have any affect on a unsuspected

waitress.

It was getting late and I had to leave so off I went.
Well let me cut to the chase and say that my

date at one point asked me if I felt she was attractive. It was a cold night so as we walked to the theater she

took my arm for a little body heat. After awhile she put her head on my shoulder and snuggled close.

In

conclusion I am going to continue with the Armouage and a little Cronk’s deer musk for good measure. I am thinking

of purchasing something for day wear like Ciel, Dia or possibly Silver. More time needed for any real

conclusion.

I\'m

quite interested in getting some Amouage Gold, if the budget can stretch to it

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif. However, it would be something I\'d reserve for special

occasisions, so I guess it could last me a couple of years. I had heard that essential oils have a \'lifespan\'

of a year or so - I don\'t know if this is nonsense, or what happens to them after this time. So would it be wise

to use the Amouage Gold up quite quickly, or would it be just as good after a couple of years?

Doc

..

I have ordered the dia and gold for men after reading your posts. I can\'t wait for them to arrive.

I

also use PI, and SOE. I am 34, a minimal conversationalist, and tend to project the lone wolf image not because

I\'m a clint eastwood but rather because I am shy. I have few friends, and when I converse it usually doesn\'t

go beyond a sentence or two. (With either sex).

I have found SOE a good mood enhancer and makes me talk more.

However I feel like \"one of the girls\" when I wear it. This is why I ordered primal. Primal alone accentuates

my lone wolf shy introverted self, although it makes me feel more studly, and alpha amomgst other men.

I think I

need to combine Primal and SOE for my personality, age, etc. Will Amouage mix well with the scent? If not how

should I mix it? Please be specific as to how much of the mones I can use.

You need

to train yourself to talk.

Practice talking to people you don\'t know or care about, like someone in line at

the checkout stand in the supermarket. Just small talk like \"oh, is that ____ good?\" etc.

I don\'t know

where else you go, but anywhere there are people you could talk with them to get into practice.

It helps to

start with people you don\'t even want to know That makes it less stressful because you don\'t care how they

respond really, except as an indication of what you\'re doing wrong or right (with things you say, tones of voice,

etc).

Then progress slowly to people you actually might want to talk to for a minute or two, and so forth.

I

taught myself while waiting for subway trains in NYC. I figured -- if you can get people to talk to you there, you

can talk to them anywhere!

It takes years to get really good at it, so don\'t give up quickly. But it CAN

work. I can talk to just about anyone now, and (with pheros) I almost never get a bad reaction!

By the way, I

think you should try WAGG. It makes lone wolf types seem much more safe and cuddly. And you do want to get some

cuddling, don\'t you?

Is

the gold and dia best applied directly to your skin, or to your clothes? Or is a mix of both the best? For the

pheromones in the Gold to work does it have to be absorbed in your skin?

Perfumers recommend one spray to the chest and a small spray to each side of the neck. I\'ve not always been good

hour, moreso than other colognes even. Things \"smell like incense\" usually because they contain unfamiliar,

richer fragrances that people don\'t know how to categorize.

It\'s good with a unique product like

Amouage (my own scents are this way too)to first let go of your expectations that it will smell like other colognes

you know (most commercial colognes out there suck anyway, IMHO, due to the domination of synthetic ingredients)! Let

it grow on you before concluding anything. I had to try it 3x before I realized how much I liked it. Often the

finest things to enjoy are acquired tastes, especially in areas where big corporations have constructed our tastes

for us. For the uninitiated, wine coolers are easier to like than Dom Perrignon (sp?). Then again, I drink Bud and

Pabst. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

of AE on (under shirt) 1 drop of PI (shoulder) 2 drops WAGG (under shirt).
Well to make a long story short I was

at the bar dancing (by myself) when this girls came by.
She asked me why I was dancing by myself so I told her I

was warming up. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
After a few dances we went out to the balcony

where things got very interesting.
We were talking when I noticed that she started to get real close, she then

started sniffing me. I went something like this \"you smell so good\" snif snif \"what are you wearing \" snif

snif snif \"I never smelled anything like it\" snif snif snif this went on for the remainder of the night.
We

started flirting that progressed to kissing, she seemed very intrigued yet somewhat confused by me at one point she

tried to recover but the attraction was too strong.
We ended up at her place later that night and bang bitty bang

bang bang bang.

Amouage came through once again the AE/PI and Wagg may have been a factor as well.

I never

ever got a response like I did yesterday, it was like she was in a trance.

I\'m going to try a little at work

next week in the name of science /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif.

And that works? What little section of the alternate

universe do you live in? \'Cause it\'s been my experience to watch guys \"dancing\" by themselves at the bar

that they will be begging the strays at closing time to go for a pancake at the IHOP or whatever. You must have

come across the killer pheromone/cologne combo of the new century. I, in fact, envy your ability to hook up via the

Billy Idol (Dancing with myself) technique. It is a rare gift indeed.

You

have to keep in mind that It was \"Latin Night\".
I was actually going over some steps that I took in Salsa

lessons a few years back.
What you have is a bunch of chicks looking for guys to dance with (salsa, meringue,

bachata).
If you ever tried dancing Salsa, you\'ll find that it\'s not the easiest thing to do especially with

chicks that grew up with it, if you can’t hold your own on the dance floor they will leave you flat.
Now lets

factor in the 4 to 1 girl/guy ratio so now you have a bunch of chick looking for dance partner of which maybe 70%

(guys) can actually dance the Latin rhythms.
Me dancing by myself had two goals.
One I really was practicing my

steps /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif.
Two I was showing the female prospect that I wasn’t a

complete novice, chick will actually ask you to dance if they feel you can keep up (yes it does happen) and sure

enough there she was.
The most fascinating part was the fact that she was sniffing me like a airport security dog

on the balcony you had to see it to believe it.
A great night overall Amouage has done it again with possible help

from AE/ WAGG/PI.

You have to remember that Gooy is a bitter 30something..soon to be divorcee...so pay him no mind.

He\'ll bag on you no matter what, because it makes him feel better about himself. He\'s cold and bitter right

now...he\'ll either get over it or continue to post the same old sh!t. So show a bit of sympathy for him. Some

day he\'ll get his sh!t together or not. It\'s not your problem...but his.

The \"panty

dropper\" mix used on \"blind dates\" are is 5 sprays of Amouage Gold or Siver to chest, both wrists, neck and

back. 1 drop PI to left shoulder breast, area 2 drops of NPA applied to chest breast area and I believe 1 drops of

AE behind each ears.

I modified it for clubbing using 5 drops of AE on under shirt 2 drops WAGG on undershirt 1

drop Pi on shoulder.

Oh I forgot to mention I no longer use commercial deodorants, I have been using the \"Randy

Pants\" mix in the Woman\'s Forum.


Good luck let me know the results if any.

Hi,
I\'ve been reading this thread and have wanted to buy this product, just to clarify, the product that you

are recomending is amouage gold for men, and not amouage gold cologne correct?

Also, this may sound naive, but to

attract women you\'re using amouage gold for ladies or men? Any input would be great.
Thanks

I use both

Amouage Gold (Eau de Toilette) and the Silver (Colongne) for MEN. They both smell kinda silimar to me and get the

I am thinking of getting the Dia in a few months, some guys here in the fourm like it better that the

Gold EDT.

I'll say it again "NOTHING" can beat

this stuff.
I used it two weeks ago on a blind date and got some action the same day.
Thats 3 for 4 if anyone

is keeping score, added 2 drops of SOE she was sniffing me like a police dog.
I used it last week with and old

friend and she started to joke asking me if I was available for booty calls.
I have a date with a Vietnamese girl

on Saturday and you can bet your life that I will be wearing Amouage in my panty dropper mix.

from Wendy. I think Gold and Dia are on sale:
You are correct. Gold and Dia are on sale. 90 Eu for the

ladies purse sizes and 282 Eu for the ladies 50ml bottles. Sadly, I don't see anything for us guys.

On a

related note, I did manage to score a 10 ml decant for Silver Cristal for some $10 a few months back. The stuff is

like heaven in a bottle, to my nose. I didn't care for Gold, but then, I'm a 30 year old. I have class and

sophistication coming out the butt when I need it, but even I can't pull that one off at my age. ;)

The box said Silver Men, but I have a feeling it was Gold EDT because it smells very similiar

to the Gold that I already have. It was a new tester that I bought at half price so there was no lable

markings.

I'm not so sure. I searched

for hours looking for a cheaper price for the Dia version. I couldn't find it for less than $205. I ended up buying

it from www.parfumsraffy.com for $215. Got it in the mail today, and I must say the scent is absolutely

godlike. This is going to be a real attention getter from the ladies :)

I have read

from post#1 till here. IMHO, Pheros by DST and Amouage are both outstanding scents. As appreciating scents is an

acquired taste, I'm not so sure if I will ever wear it in S.E. Asia. People here don't seem to appreciate complex

scents as they're probably not used to the limited exposure as opposed to those heavily advertised scents. I will

try to get the samples for my own collection though. It's pricey but worth it.

I think

Amouage Dia would be welcomed even in Southeast Asia.

So, I'm getting ready to break

down and buy some Amouage this week (probably tonight if I can get out of work early enough to make it to Parfums

Raffy before they close).

My last question is do I get Dia or Gold? I like the smell of Dia better, but if

women like Gold better I should probably get that. Gold is too soapy and powdery for my taste, but I'm not buying

it for me but for women (and I'm not expecting any life changing experience).

People generally favor DIA. Gold may

have more pheromone analogs in it. Tough choice.
