    I don't remember

    when it was first offered. Several years ago, anyway. Too lazy to look it up. Time is basically a black hole to me

    anyway.

    I think I sent samples to a few forum members long before Bruce got any, to get product development

    feedback. That was when the fun started, because people had not smelled anything like it and were definitely

    surprised, partially because I was just a regular guy who surfed the forum. If you're a smell aficionado and have

    never smelled some of the pungent, organic, naughty ingredients, it's quite an experience. Very different from

    typical perfumes and scents.

    The first "real" forum posts from you (DST) on Pheros product were

    around 3/1/04 and onward.

    Thanks for the research Rbt,

    looks like our new member jomo did his research too.

    That's quite a good run Doc, and a lot of hard work. We

    should probably thank you most for letting your imagination run wild. What ran wild during the testing stages is

    purely you're own business.

    I feel like we should give you something to mark the end of an era. I don't

    see you being much of a gold Rolex kind of guy so maybe something like, hmmm... a swift kick in the butt and a lock

    for your lab door, to be installed on the outside of course, with you inside. Seeing the light of day again should

    be good incentive to come up with a new scent yes?
    To be sure, we'll feed you well. Do you prefer Saison

    Dupont Belgian Farmhouse Ale or Bud Lite? Just name it, Bel's buying.

    Bud Lite happens to be my

    current beer, fortunately. Can't beat it when the weather's hot. Well, OK; Pilsner Urquell is pretty darn good on

    a hot day too. And Harp.

    Thanks, Belgareth!

    No fun to drink alone, though. I'll slip a few extra mugs

    into the freezer for y'all.

    Gee, thanks guys. Am I invited

    since I have been volunteered to buy? Personally, I'd prefer a nice british beer, something with some body to it.

    American beers don't really offer much.

    Since its summer, I'll weigh in

    with Doc for some P.Urquell or Harp, but my, what good taste you all have in beer! Bel, your bar tab is adding up

    quickly, I'll need a credit card to run it up any more. Hope sales are good buddy.



    To follow

    up on Mobe's credit card, any news on the other brew Doc?

    My sincere apologies for the

    delay and frustration, Mobes. Bruce made a decision about some new packaging and I'm getting that together. Early

    next week I'll post another update.

    One other comment to make about

    fragrances...


    While out walking a couple days ago a 30-ish guy crossed my path. Not sure what he was wearing

    but it reminded me of insect spray... ewwwwwwww!

    Then again maybe it WAS insect spray... With all the rain and

    flooding in the area we have a bumper crop of mosquitoes forming vast clouds that darken the skies and turn day into

    night...

    Well not quite that bad... but they are pretty dense.

    Part of me wishes more colognes had the same

    rich smell as Pheros... but then again if all the PUA's smell the same as AFC's I *may* have a chance as the gals

    can hang around me without gagging... at least on my fragrance...


    (PS I'm a wine man myself. No not a

    "whiner..." or "wino...". Nothing beats a really good Austrian trokenbeerenauslese... mmmmmmmmm. The "Pheros" of the

    wine world IMO.)

    Folks, the purpose of this

    thread was to get advance interest so I could bottle to the proper number of concentrate bottles; not to announce

    availability of the product. I apologize if it became that before I was sure about the timeline. Totally my fault

    for opening my mouth.

    Having said that, I'm still working on making all the new packaging (new packaging was

    Bruce and my solution to the lid and bottle problem) by hand -- each label was created on my computer, cut by hand,

    and pasted on the leaflets I also just designed, cut and folded by hand, etc. There is nothing about this project

    that is not homemade; and I have another business and music gigs to attend to as well.

    So I'd like to get it

    shipped by the end of the week. Hopefully I will meet my goal, which would make it available next week sometime.

    Sorry Doc didn't mean to

    interrupt the hard work. Was just bored. The boards been slow lately. I have actually had a fun time reading many

    of your early post and researching the attributes of your product. Take your time and have fun doing it.

    Im interested in a couple

    bottles of this stuff but I dont know if I have to place a pre-order or get onto some kinda list....?

    I've made

    a few purchases from love-scent in the past and like to check out what the buzz is on the forums before placing an

    order. (First Post but veteran browser)

    I dont want it to be available for a few days then go out of stock -

    Its not like I check the online store every day. Ive been in touch with a Tammy Smith (cust. support rep) who has

    been very responsive and helpful but I guess she doest have any more info regarding the ETA than what's being said

    in this thread. So, whoever's brewing this stuff up, I'd like to get my hands on a few units

    Please read the rest of the

    thread. Once again, There is no advance sales for the perfume. This thread is about the concentrate only. If you

    want the concentrate, it will be good to check in every couple of days or so, at least every few days.

    I

    recommend the perfume over the concentrate unless you have a specific reason, as we have discussed in this thread. I

    am taking extra care with the perfume version in terms of the special water I dilute it with (aging it with some of

    the perfume added to help longevity, etc).

    I don't think the stuff will sell out right away, unless it happens

    differently than in the past. You never know. So people should be able to relax a bit. I think it will be available

    for at least a month, even with it being the last of a limited edition batch.

    Doc, just curious, why are you

    not going to be Making Pheros anymore? I ordered myself a bottle, but it sounds like such a popular product, why

    cut it off?

    Pheros is a limited edition

    perfume. I have neither the recipe nor the supplies, many of which are pretty rare substances.

    When I first

    started making it, I didn't even know it would be sold. It was just a labor of love, so to speak. By the time I

    knew, it was too late to save the recipe; even though I continued making more just using my nose. I worked on it

    over the course of a year or more, every day, just adding more and more stuff. Eventually I ended up with a honkin'

    huge batch, and was sort of shocked after doing the math on it. With subsequent bottlings I made minor changes and

    improvements (e.g, adding more musks, or good sandalwood). Most of the latest bottlings included improvements to the

    water or perfuming alcohol (both of which are scented and treated to have fixative properties) used to dilute the

    ultra concentrate; as well as tweaks to the bottling, mixing, and stage maturation process. Meanwhile, the mother

    batch was aging, which turned out to work fine, since the ingredients needed to age more anyway, as the professional

    Nose who smelled it told me.

    If I could find all the rare ingredients in good quality, for a reasonalble price, I

    could make something just as good or better, that would be a similar type of perfume. But it would never be the same

    thing.

    I sent an email last week to

    Tammy, but I never got a reply. I bought a bottle of Pheros and requested the concentrate version, but I'm not sure

    what I got. The bottle is not marked "concentrate," and it's full, but the bottle doesn't look like it could hold

    18mL of fluid (it's smaller than a 10mL bottle I also have). Earlier in the thread it is stated that both versions

    will use the same bottle.

    Can anybody tell me what I have?

    Update: Tammy just informed me that I have

    the regular version...

    The concentrate version is a

    clear amber liquid, and the regular version is "cloudy".

    Did you request the concentrate in the "comments"

    section at checkout?

    I distinctly remember

    typing "I want concentrate" into the Comments, but Tammy showed me what she had on file and there were no comments.



    I'm ok with what I got, as I told Tammy, I just wanted to make sure I didn't dilute something that was

    already properly diluted.

    Great! The regular version is

    better for general wearing anyway, I'm sure you'll like it. If you have any feedback please let us know.

    I'll see if I can find out

    what was up with that.

    The concentrates all come with a hand written set of instructions.

    I just got a bottle of concentrate and it did not come with hand-written instructions. I

    have both concentrate and regular from previous orders so I know my latest order was properly filled as

    concentrate.

    Didn't you receive a leaflet

    along with the bottle?

    When I packed them, I wrapped a signed leaflet around every bottle with a rubber band, and

    the concentrates has a couple sentences written on them too.

    Just got my order of Pheros and

    dabbed a little on my wrists, this is some great smelling stuff you've made Dr. I'm looking forward to seeing

    what others think

    BTW, quite a self effect off this stuff!

    Absolutely. I put Pheros on and immediately have a nice calm feeling.

    As the evening progresses I feel like I'm in a cocoon of sorts, wrapped in a nice blanket of eros. That's one

    reason why its so good as both a cover and a standalone.
