a "diss". Bruce also sells some products with synthetic fragrance, some of which are quite popular.
There are
plenty of natural aphrodisiacs. My product Pheros has about 100 of them. Neroli is great, and has much to
recommend it. But if it were me I probably would not choose neroli for a men's product (it's a flower), but would
choose something more generic, because then you're not running up against people's personal preference variations
as much. I happen to know there are many people that don't like the "neroli" scent at the other site, like Gegogi.
Still the neroli would work out better that way if it were all natural, because then it wouldn't be so
perfumey and overbearing to some.
In all fairness to the other site, it would be rare to find anyone who would
do it the way I'm endorsing. Their products do smell decent, were scented by a professional fragrance company, and
they seem to sell well.
But good neroli is hard to find, and even if you find it, it is hard to consistently get
it. I know because I searched all over the world for quality and quantities of that very oil recently. I found
nothing that met my fairly high standards at the time. Real neroli is also expensive.
Also, neroli by itself
would not be quite as good as a simple, natural perfume with neroli, IMHO.
Finally, there is a lot to be said
for scentless pheromones, because then you can choose how you are going to smell when you add your own scent, and
can mix them without the scents clashing (the only way around this is to take a "generic" or "universal" approach,
if you're going to scent). I have no idea why any consumer wouldn't think this way, but that's why I'm not rich,
I guess.
BTW, I'd be more than willing to design a more generic, unisex, universally non-offensive way to scent
pheromones, if there seemed to be enough interest in it; and if Bruce needed it.
