    Default The Story of Pheros

    visit-red-300x50PNG
    Here I sit,

    sweaty and smelly, as if in the maternity ward after giving birth. If Arnold could do it so can I! There is no beer

    in the fridge, but I\'m sure thirsty for one! But my feet are up now -- too late!

    As many of you know by

    now, one of your fellow forum members (yours truly [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] ) has designed

    an innovative (not to brag, it just is) new product for Love Scent, called Pheros. This product has been in

    the process of creation for 15 months, and is now complete. Earlier today, I just shipped the first 100 bottles out

    to Love-Scent. Wooo-hooo!

    I put Pheros in italics because it is a Greek word, and it is proper style

    to do so. The word means \"king\", like \"pharaoh!\" I thought it typified a sort of prototypical alpha

    manliness I was trying to put into it. Of course, it is also a play on words.

    I am very excited about it, as

    this is such a \"cyber setting\" and it is my way of more personally or physically interacting with you all, the

    delightful folks that you are. Also, it is exciting for me due to the sheer volume of typing (Jeez, is it 2500 posts

    yet?) I have done on this site regarding all things olfactory, telling everyone I make perfume (yeah right!). So

    understandably, people have been asking me to make something for Love Scent for some time now, and finally I get to

    come out of hiding and reveal that I\'ve been working my butt off to do just that. I was afraid to jinx it before

    now. Quite a large sum of money and time was invested in this with no promise of compensation to put this together

    (though now it appears I\'m being compensated fairly, thanks to Bruce. I\'m not whining, but rather am very

    grateful.). Most days I\'ve worked on it, if only to shake up the monster bottle of concentrate. (This is a good

    exercise for your biceps and pecs, BTW, and it is free).

    There is a limited amount of this stuff available

    (like 1000 bottles?), and once it is gone, it is gone. I couldn\'t recreate it if I wanted to, nor could anyone

    else. Why? Because there are a million things besides the fact of which ingredients there are and their proportions

    that determine the smell of a perfume (though I could probably come reasonably close). For example, the order and

    timing that you add everything in mean a lot, and this stuff was a drop of this here and a drop of that there, for

    over a year! I could probably make something even better, on the other hand, as one does improve with practice in

    this field, but there will always be something special about this one, as it was a definite labor of

    love.

    There are somewhere close to 150 natural ingredients. Why so many? Ingredients add up quickly when you

    have a vision of what you want to create, and you are going from that. It\'s not about the ingredients, per

    se.

    Still, you all may notice prominent woody notes like rare Asian oud (the real stuff, at a dollar per drop

    wholesale!), mysore sandalwood, vetiver, and juniper (all aphrodisiacs), spices like bay, anise, and cinnamon;

    (ditto), and natural musk notes like ambrette, valerian, cistus and costus (ditto). There are classic masculine and

    mystical ingredients like frankincense and myrrh in there as well. Then there is a slight floral element that

    includes chamomile and jasmine sambac (the queen of sex smells).

    Whereas other perfumes claim to smell sexual

    or \"erotic\" but do not, this one actually does smell sexual and erotic! So watch out! Just don\'t expect it to

    smell like a typical department store cologne, please. It is a natural product. Remember the research that talked

    about sticky buns or some pastry as being one of the strongest aphrodisiac smells? Well, you should also notice

    notes in there like that -- kind of butterscotchy, carmelly, cinnamony, vanilla-like and nutty. It is not overly

    pretty, however, as men are under no obligation to be pretty for anyone! In general it\'s a classic woody scent,

    with amber, spice and prominent musk notes. Then there are pheromones, of course.

    I hope you all will try

    it. Hopefully, by the end of this week, the special introductory offer of 100 limited edition bottles should

    commence. I have obtained 100 special bottles which aren\'t overly fancy, but are my favorite small bottles

    ever for a man\'s cologne. They feel so great in your hand, are reusable, and are so well balanced! There

    is a bulb in the top that cause a slight gurgling when you turn the bottle upside down. I hope I can find more

    someday. The bottles are corked, and the corks are waxed on, like they are with wine bottles. The caramel-colored

    wax is scented, with Pheros, of course!

    The labels were designed by myself in collaboration with a

    fine Portland artist. The burgundy boxes are simple but somehow elegant, and the leaflet is on some custom designed

    paper, which is nicer than it should be for how long people keep leaflets. I cut all the labels with an x-acto

    knife, and pasted them on myself. So we\'re talking home-made from top to bottom. Dare I say collectible?



    Each bottle in the limited release is signed and numbered from 1-100; and the boxes are signed, too. It\'s

    hard to communicate the amount of unmitigated TLC that you are getting, but I will admit I was even crazy enough to

    meditate and chant (very \"good\" words, oh yeah!) over the perfume on most days. -- For what it is worth!

    [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

    And for those that may be wondering -- yes, I like it

    better than Amouage! Honest! Amouage is for special occasions, whereas I consider this like a basic staple of

    \"hygiene\" and olfactory fashion.

    As people get their bottles, I will provide more information regarding

    proper use, effects, and other such interesting issues. I am always happy to take questions and constructive

    comments, and will address them here in this thread.

    I wish to thank Bruce Boyd loads for providing this

    site and forum, and for giving an upstart whipper-snapper like myself such an opportunity! I also want to thank all

    of you for helping me feel at home in the forum, and for providing such interesting conversation! Om alpha!

    Yep. I want my

    signed bottle.

    Does it come with some form of photograph of the creator?

    Covered in Jam would be my

    preference.

    All sounds cool, Mr SmellThis.. I\'ve emailed you a beer.

    Hello.

    First of all, let me thank you (DrSmellThis) for what you\'ve done. This products seems too good to be true (at

    least, in theory).

    I just would like to ask you about the \"durability\" (don\'t know if it spells like that)

    of the scent. Does it last long?

    ToBeOrNotToBe, you can smell the bass notes and a bit of middle note the next day, but not in a strong way. I added

    natural fixatives throughout the whole process, especially at the end. Each major note also had its own fixatives

    especially added for it, and the perfuming alcohol I use even has it\'s own natural fixatives. Having said that,

    it is true that natural perfumes in general don\'t last as long on your skin as synthetic perfumes, which are

    chock full of chemical fixatives. One of the results of the beta testing process was that Bruce inquired about

    whether I could make it last longer, so I did go back and modify it in several ways so it would last significantly

    longer. I am now reasonably satisfied with its longevity, thanks to Bruce\'s input.

    The \"too good to be

    true\" part has somewhat to do with the fact that almost no one else (except jvk) comes in to the forum to talk

    about their product. I don\'t know why. But I know what you mean. The theoretical stuff is sound on a theoretical

    level, of course, but it is a matter of translating that to reality. It\'s actual effectiveness out in the field

    is another matter. But there are some positive preliminary reports, some of which match the theoretical angle pretty

    closely. We\'ll see.

    I\'ve always

    enjoyed your posts DrSmellthis and I\'m really impressed with the time and effort you put into this product. Which

    is one of the reasons why I\'m ordering PHEROS because it was created by you. One question, what are the

    reactions from women to PHEROS from the beta testers or you personally?

    Dr:
    As a big

    Amouage fan, you grab my attention when you tell me that you like the smell of this even better. Even taking into

    account that you have a slight bias, you have not steered me wrong on scents in the past (first agarwood, then

    Amouage), so I look forward to trying this out as well. My question: how many ml of product in each

    bottle?

    Jeeves

    DrSmellThis,

    I

    am really impressed by the effort that you have put into this product. I will buy it right away, even if it was just

    because I it is so unique and created by a very honorable member of this forum.

    Most of the colognes don\'t

    work for me... I have spent a lot of money until I found just 2 or 3 which do... Amouage (Gold) doesn\'t work on

    my skin at all. So I don\'t know if Pheros works for me, but I can\'t wait to give it a try!

    Good

    job!!!

    Sunny

    when does the link go up to put said Pheros into me

    shoppe basket?

    and should this limited edition be limited to one per person to be fair...as peeps can always

    get refills later on from the main batch.

    I found a site

    that mentioned Jasmine Sambac as the king of musks and being very exotic. It also recommended for a romantic mood

    blending it with other great aphrodisiacs - Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang, Rosewood, Patchouli, Vetiver, Rose etc. Also

    nice: Bergamot, Orange, Mandarin &amp; Neroli. Lavender and Geranium, Frankincense and Clary Sage.

    Thanks again

    for the info &amp; the tremendous efforts you put into your creation Doc!

    Doc, you are

    indeed the man!

    This is even more of a personal project than I first guessed, you should go down in the annals

    (and yes that was annals) of Love Scent for effort alone!

    Good luck again, although I\'m sure you

    won\'t need it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img].

    If it goes well

    people will be greatful for having had the opportunity to use it. The great demand could perhaps tempt the good Doc

    into perfuming more. Especially if the demand is so much that a higher price would even be more tempting to him.

    Since I ordered

    Pheromol Factor, I figured \"What the Hell?\" and that I might as well order this as well.

    It better not suck,

    or it goes right next to my bottle of citrus super primal oil.
