The Story of Pheros

Capt\'n,

Quite a few 2 bottle orders came

through from the beginning, and we are getting a few 3ers now, so we are experiencing some stockpiling. I guess we

should have anticipated that. This is new territory. I figured the 100 bottles would last us until we got another

shipment.

In my opinion, people should have waited

until the main batch to stockpile.

[pico]

i agree. The hype

of the, wow, only 100 special edition bottles, would have prompted people to buy more than one.

shame for anyone

who was not there during the rush.

Jose,

There are still some of the first 99 left,

so you will get one of those. The first 20 are long gone, so yours and most of the others will ship on Friday. I

am guessing we will hit 99 by noon or so. I will try to make that clear asap of that happening at the order point,

so folks will realize they are on a waiting list from then on out. Actually, I have no idea when we will get

reinforcements after that. Doc can tell us the details, but the way I understand it, the \"batch\" of cologne is

enough to fill 1000 bottles total, so there will definitely be more; just not signed and numbered.

Glad to hear it, I specifically waited yesterday morning online to

buy the new product but at Noon I had to go to work. Imagine my surprise when I went to the boards and it was

selling so well that I thought I missed out. Also DrSmellThis choice of a bottle is one of the best looking ones

I\'ve ever seen.

Uhuh. Maybe some have gotten extras

to be given as gifts.
...Not a bad idea, I spose.

Personally, I\'ve ordered a bottle as another cologne

choice. The \"-mones effect\" is only secondary.
I\'m a full believer in creating moods through scents and

memories. Something I\'m confident the good Doctor has worked towards in his creation.

[Bruce]

I probably should

have made a \"one bottle only\" rule. I honestly figured we would get some more by the time the 99 ran

out.

[MaxiMog]

Hmmm...

There\'s Valerian in it. That\'s the smell of stinky feet people!!

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] (isovalerianic

acid). No really. I had some herbal pills once with contained some valerian, and they really smelt like sweaty

stinky feet. How right I was apparently, as I later read about the specific molecules related to certain bad odor

problems, isovalerianic acid being one of them.

Those 99 bottles are long gone right?

How about letting us

pre-order for when the next shipment comes in. There\'s apparently 891 forum members now, and Pheros can only be

accessed from the forum, throw in some chronic lurkers, and I think that everyone should be able to get a bottle.

[bigdog]

Valerian is used

in candies, beverages baked goods. Also the root has medicinal value as it relaxes, decreases anxety, and helps with

sleep. on a side note cats love the herb just as much as catnip. Come here kitty, kitty!

Very clever, Mr. MaxiMog! It\'s also the smell of freshly washed and

manicured feet, which can be quite a turn on, or at least contriubute to an overall erotic effect. \"Good\" odors

for humans are often just dilute \"bad\" odors. So what might be the psychological or aromatheraputic effect of

putting valerian in a perfume? Think about the conditioning aspects (there are also direct biochemical aspects).

When are you usually exposed to feet? -- When you are at home, feeling comfy, safe, familiar, amorous and secure,

such as naked with your SO! (tee hee). And what is valium, which can be derived easily from valerian, used for? --

Relaxing muscles, like those that line the walls of our blood vessels (The aromatherapy of valerian is similar, as

it turns out). Feet (along with urine) are \"territorial\" as well. What might be the implications there? These

are the kinds of things in the psychology of perfuming that you think about, that help you achieve certain effects.

So far, Pheros\' typical effects seem consistent with the above theory. The level of this chemical in

valerian root EO is high, no different than if someone were selling it individually as a pheromone. The level is so

high you definitely wouldn\'t want any more of the chemical to be in there, as it would be worse than \"beta test

EW\"! As it is, I have to keep my best valerian root EO hermetically sealed, just like I do EW, or it stinks up my

house! Of course, there are other active ingredients and pheromone analogues besides isovalerianic acid in valerian

root! Aren\'t essential oils interesting?

[Antalarero]

I also

ordered a bottle. Will take a while until it will have crossed the atlantic...
Although Pheros has a pretty high

price I think Dr.SmellThis has included one ingredient that most other products don´t have: love.
I´m shure he

made this with love and enthusiasm and that is what makes this special in my opinion. Looking forward to smell it.

[oscar]

Antalarero,

I

could write ten thousand words and not say it any better.

Nice Post!!

Yes, I just got off

the phone with the Doc, and I agree completely with Antalarero.

The first shipment is completely sold out now,

btw.

I am soooo pissed off! I missed out. My computer crashed and burned and

has been in the shop for the last 4 days. Tallmacky sent me a link to a porn site and I picked up the mother of all

pop-up, take over you\'re whole computer, STD\'s. Piss me off. Good movie though. Thanks TM !
