PHERIN is an American outfit connected with EROX (former manufacturers of

Pheromax is a product made by NuLife, a

German company.

Whichever entity (PHERIN or EROX) actually holds the patent, they HAVE licensed the rights to

other companies to use A1 in fragrances. The ones I know of are AVON for their "PERCEIVE" line of phero products,

and Niche Marketing who currently distribute REALM.

Thanks for the clarity, Oscar. I was

aware it was the Erox company, but called it the Pheromax company for simplicity-- it seems many people on here are

more product than company oriented. But it is nice to have you clear up all of the relationships.

In any case,

would you not agree that A1 would be used a lot more (or at least listed as an ingredient a lot more) if it weren't

for the patent? IMHO, A1 is just as important as -NONE, -RONE, and -NOL, but because of the patent it doesn't get

the attention it deserves.
