    Default DrSmellThis and help about AE

    visit-red-300x50PNG
    I've for some time now been wanted to only have the smell of AE but without the mones..
    As you said you're in

    the "smell-business" you could perhaps help me?
    Bruce said he would talk to them to hear if they perhaps wanted to

    make the "scent only (without mines)" to sell as one of our coverscent but I haven't heard anything..
    So I finally

    found the makers of AE and sent them a mail but they never replied..

    So I was wondering if you as a "smell pro"

    perhaps could talk to them (they might listen to you as you're in the vusiness) and hear if they will sell the

    "smell only" or might hear what they use to make their smell?

    Or you perhaps could be interested in making

    something like the smell of AE?
    BEcause both me and slickracer is interested in this smell as we really love

    it...
    Could you perhaps help a little here?

    Personally I'd like to see

    another batch of Pheros come along, even if slightly different
    To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

    I agree with Bel - Pheros is

    one of my favorite "colognes" - either as a standalone or covering other phermones.

    Doc has recently posted in

    the open discussion forum where I mentioned the love of the product too! I am looking forward to something similar

    in the future.

    I've avoided pheroes

    because of the price and I would more like to use my money on with higher dosages of mones in, and then buy the

    smell seperately..
    Might consider it if I wasn't so expensive and didn't contain

    mones..

    Is he goin to make another product or what are you sayin here..?

    Pheros doesn't contain mones.

    A little goes a very long ways.

    Ohh.. But why is it also so expensive

    then?
    Thought it was the mones that made it so expensive even though I've hear people say there was only bery

    little mones in..

    DST used a lot of natural

    ingredients in Pheros. He can give you more information about what he used. I do not know all the details but there

    definately are not any pheromones in the product.

    I could have sworn that he put "trace

    amounts" of a variety of pheromones into Pheros. Ah, I was right. Found

    That will be different for different people.......there are more ways to think about pheromones than is typical here

    at love scent. It has like 10 \"analogue pheromones\" synthesized by fragrance chemists for example, and here I am

    referring to neither EOs nor animal ingredients. It also contains as much of the animal ingredients as I could get

    away with (without ruining the smell -- they are quite strong), which are pure mammalian animal pheromones,

    obviously. Then it contains small amounts of almost every L-S pheromone sold, including various secret ingredients

    you all are familiar with. Pheros also has an erotic spirit to it, I think. So all that justifies the name.

    Perfuming has it\'s own attractant and pheromone traditions that predate all the L-S -mones by years, decades, and

    in some cases, millenia. They are not in competition with the L-S -mone approach at all, but just represent

    different opportunities we have at our disposal.

    Ok, I'll concede the point.

    Very small amounts, as he said, they are trace amounts and insignificant. In effect there are no pheromones

    in it. I don't count the pheromone analogues in that statement.

    I know it's nothing

    you can really use for anything major..
    But I still thought that was the reason that it was so expensive..

    I think it was the high quality

    natural ingredients and the time involved. DST really put a lot of work into that product.

    In my mind its like

    the Aloeswood and Musk oils I use. They seem very expensive until you realize how long they last. A little goes a

    very long way.

    That's also why I love AE.. It also lasts a long time.. Hoping when

    he was in the business the people from AE perhaps would listen to him, or he perhaps could mix somehting together

    like that..

    In the open discussion forum, Doc had made a post recently and as the converstation progressed

    Bruce had said that they are considering making another one. I hope I stated that right, but look up the post by Dr

    It's not any more expensive then other top quality colognes, and not too mention we spend all

    this money on mones but wouldn't they work better if girls were begging to smell us???

    I respect that you already

    have stuff cheaper than this that you like. The think I like most about Pheros is that the chancthat anyone

    smelling you has ever smelled it before is very slim relative to commerical products.

    Thats a nice detail but Im

    willing for this as the thing that people "have smelled it before" can give memories (good/bad) and if they're good

    you'll might be recieved a little better because of the unconsiusness about the smell and the good memories regards

    this smell..

    Hi. I'm a fan of the old AE

    that is not available any more, and I could not motivate myself to try to recreate the new one, which I didn't care

    for (though I like the product). Any commercial perfuming company with the equipment could recreate it by "scanning"

    it, since it is made from common perfume chemicals.

    ***
    There indeed were pheromones in Pheros, but the

    product's value was never about synthetic laboratory pheromones, such as are sold here.

    I used small amounts

    of lab pheromones just to humanize the pheromone signature the product was putting out fom the analog mones, if that

    makes sense (I've explained it before), so I believed it to have a holistic effect.

    I purposely avoided large

    amounts of conventional pheromones so it could be combined with any conventional pheromones without adverse effects,

    and fill a unique role. I had Bruce's full cooperation, and could have put in anything I wanted. It would have been

    astronomically cheaper for me to do like everyone else, and put a few chemicals in a bottle.

    I include "analog

    pheromones" (used for years in the perfuming industry) as pheromones because of my experience with them. They are a

    different kind of pheromone, without the research support, but there is no reason to ignore them when they could be

    of unique benefit. I used them for years before I ever heard of Love Scent or androstenol.

    ***
    The price I sold

    Pheros to Bruce for was based entirely on a professional appraisal of the product I had done by someone

    familiar with the ingredients, someone in the pheromone/perfuming business.

    The price was based on the cost of

    the ingredients I made it with. I ended up dropping it below that quite a bit because Bruce bought in quantity. I

    didn't make much profit, and spent a year making it.

    Bruce had to price it the way he did because of his

    costs. You guys have no idea how expensive some of the ingredients were. But the oud I used was exactly a dollar a

    drop, to give an example. That was my cost, and you could smell the oud in Pheros.

    Commercial perfumes

    are mostly cheap, synthetic chemicals, except the very high end products. You can't compare them to an all organic

    product. Pheros was priced a little higher than either Bruce of I would have preferred, based just on

    marketing considerations. But in no way was it overpriced. Here I'm speaking for myself, but I also believe Bruce

    priced it fairly from his end, or I would have vetoed the whole thing.

    ***
    There is no way I could make more

    Pheros, because the rare ingredients in it are even more rare now, especially in good quality. Even the

    sandalwood (a prominent ingredient) would be extremely difficult to get now, in anything like that kind of quality.

    The cost would be prohibitive.

    Belgareth can attest to how hard he had to work just to find good oud. But

    there were over a hundred ingredients in Pheros, and some of them are significantly harder to find than

    oud.

    I will now admit that the follow up to Pheros was going to be a approximate recreation of a scent

    commisioned by Napoleon; but my own version. It was quite exciting at the time.

    I worked hard for a few months,

    but the project ultimately failed. I ran into supply difficulties with the most important ingredient, a fine flower,

    and wouldn't settle for second rate quality. I searched everywhere to no avail. I tried many alternatives. I ate

    quite a bit of money and time. Such is life in perfuming.

    At this point, with how busy I am, I'd have to find a

    much simpler way to contribute to the pheromone community.

    Year me too.. Iøm sorry to

    hear you spend so much time but got so little profit out of it but again you made a good product that many

    love..
    But I admit and stand to that I just can't spend that kinda money on the scent when I use as much on mones

    and when I can get good fair scents cheaper..
    Nothing to do with you or anything...
    I just don't have the money

    that I feel I can spend on it..
    I would really like to try it because so many say it smells good but I just dont

    feel I can use those money to "try it" to that price and my money limit.. Perhaps when I'm not longer a student I

    will..

    I'm sorry to hear about the AE because I really would "love you" if you did
    But it's okay

    and your choise that I respect..
    But will you consider talking to them about whether they could make the AE as a

    cologne/coverscent only on my behalf?
    I've mailed them but they didn't respond so perhaps they would respond to

    you as you're in the business..
    I'm not the only that would like the scent of AE in a bottle without the mones,

    because slickracer in here also would like it.. And perhaps more people..

    Will you help me doc?

    The man you want to contact is Phil Stone of Stone Labs (I forget of the top of my head what they

    changed their name to). I never met Phil, but I understand he is a nice guy. I can't speak for Bruce, but I bet if

    you emailed Bruce he might be willing to forward your comments/questions about AE to Phil. I don't know if Phil

    would be interested in selling you some pure scent. It might be too much hassle for him.

    Good luck.

    Actually yesterday I

    got my reply from Stone labs.. And he was willing to do this..
    And Bruce was willing to sell it as an coverscent

    but of course he will have to talk to him to see how much it will costs and if I will be worth the effort..
    But I

    surely hope..
    But else..
    Thanks Doc..
