Alter ego is a good choice for 30
year old and newbie - has 3 pheromones and should prove effective.
Hello
First, sorry for my bad English!
I found “Love Scent” site and started to read, 2
months ago. Since then I read a lot, mostly in this forum. I decided to try pheromones, essential oils and some
basic perfume making.
I like to read DrSmellThis threads.
I have more doubts about perfumery then pheromones. Pherolibrary.com and this forum have answers for much of my
questions about mones.
I’m Banshee!
I will start to say what I’m doing, what I pretend to do and why!
Feel
free to comment, because I’m a newbie and I need all the help. Plus, I can’t make a lot of mistakes (trying) because
I don’t have lots of cash.
30 years old
1,68 m
85 Kg
Caucasian, brown eyes and brown hair
Portugal
(sorry, I use metric system)
I sweat a lot, and often I take 2 baths a day. I’m afraid to have bad results with
mones because of that.
I’m a friendly guy, not shy, very easy communicator, sociable, but not a “star” guy. But I
can, and I know how to, act like a “star” guy when I need to, leading groups, business or so. But, I’m not as
successful with women as I want to be.
Till now I bought:
-Beginner
Special (and the free samples)
-Distilled water
-
Ethanol (96%)
-Cornstarch, talc and baking soda (to make powder deodorant)
-2 EOs in local shops (Ylang Ylang and White musk) just to see how they look like
-20 Disposable Pipettes ( 3ml and 1 ml)
-
6 Amber glass bottle with normal caps. (different sizes)
-3
Amber glass bottle with Eye Dropper caps
-1 glass Measuring beaker (100 ml with 10
ml graduations)
-1 small glass Funnel
-1 glass
Graduated Cylinder with base and cap (50 ml, 5ml graduations)
-1 glass rod
-1 mini pocket atomizer (glass)
I pretend to buy:
-Alter Ego
-
W.A.G.G. (or
W.A.G.G. -N)
-
(Pheros maybe, but later)
-Jojoba Oil (to make
perfume oil)
-Grapefruit Seed Extract (to make liquid deodorant)
-
Tincture of Benzoin(to use as a fixative in perfume, base ethanol)
-
2 different Fragrance
Oils (Designer Type
Fragrances – maybe Dolce & Gabbana and Coolwater or
Egoiste
Platinum )
-Liquid soap or bath gel Unscented – to add the
Fragrance Oils
-
1 exfoliating loofah sponge
-2 roll-on Bottles - glass (to apply
perfume oil)
-2 or 3 E0s (maybe Bergamot, Sandalwood, Lavender or a good Musk) – to
make some experimental basic mixes
I have to do this buys slowly, because it’s expensive
for me. Most of the items I can’t find in Portugal, so I have to buy in net shops.
Now, I need some input of
you guys, to feel more confident to buy these products. Some ideas, thoughts, methods, good places to buy, recipes,
whatever…
What I’m doing wrong? Why?
I pretend to use Tincture of Benzoin as
a fixative for perfume. There are other or better products?
I pretend to use Antiseptic
Soap, Grapefruit Seed Extract and Loofah Sponge to remove Mones from the skin (I’m afraid of Od’s, buildup and
such). It’s the right thing to do?
Jojoba oil with Fragrance Oils to make perfume oils work well?
Thanks
Sorry for this long text.
Last, sorry for my bad English!

This isn't a basic project
At least not for me!
You got a nice selection of bottles etc but maybe you should intend, not pretend
, to buy the chemistry set as it seems like something that would be right up your ally...heh
It would allow
you to customize your mixes better due to the fact products like alter ego and wagg etc are combinations of other
pheromons. They are fantastic but seeing as you are going into the nitty gritty then a chem. set might be a good
purchase.
Hey Banshee,
Welcome to
the forum!
You have a lot of equipment for perfumery but only one EO. "White musk" is a synthetic and not an
EO.
My advice is to click into the women's forum and read the "perfuming basics" thread. Then post questions
about perfumery in there (which oils to get, etc), and I'll be happy to help you.
Everyone here will help you
with your pheromone purchases.
DrSmellThis (creator of P H E R O S)
Yes, I know. In the store they
called the "White musk" an aromatic oil. But I can use it to make mixes with EOs, can't I?
I will look to
women's forum and "perfuming basics" thread very soon!
About the Chem Set advice... well, I don't know what
is better for me yet. I think it's better to use first the standard products to help me find what kind of product
or mones works best with me.
About the Tincture of Benzoin, anybody knows something to replace that as a
fixative in perfume?
My main problem is:
I want to restrict my shoppping to 1 or 2 sites. If I buy everything in
diferrent net shops I will pay Product 1+ 25€ for shipping, Product 2 + 25€ for shipping, P3 + 25€, ....
And the
sites I pretend to use to buy Jojoba, EOs and Shower Gel don't have Tincture of Benzoin. So, if you know something
to replace it, it will be very helpfull.
Maybe jumping right into making
perfumes isn't the best idea, it is an expensive venture.
I think you should have bought Sandalwood EO first,
it's very easy to use and smells good without mixing with other EOs.
There is lots written about Benzoin in the
Perfuming Basics thread.
