The combo makes sense, since
both are woody smelling. Do fill us in!
Pea
sized blob of gel in palm, and about 2 drops of Pheros, mix and apply to chest.
Smells great and works like
a charm
Got to rush out now but I will post more when I get back.

Yeah, does sound like the smells
would blend well and the chemicals in the Edge would give you a jolt.
Folks,
Don't pass over CKs
amounts there either: "pea-sized blob of Edge/sandal gel and 2 drops of Pheros". That seems like a very small
amount, but both of those items are very strong. Put them together and they are even stronger. I'm not surprised
that that amount works well. Less is often more.

I might have to buy some more
sandalwood TE, I'm liking this a lot!
After it calms down the scent is very masculin, but not too intense.
Basically, it's Pheros with a slightly augmented scent a pheromonal kick in exactly the right direction. Whatever
the ingredients in Pheros are, they seem to "sweeten" TE somehow (not in a chatty way like SOE though), but I never
really noticed it untill I noticed the change in some of TE's reactions.
The best way I can think to describe
it is the sexual factor from TE with an added warmth.
Good info, Kip!
It should
work well with Arouser too, in a similar way, though the "sandalwood" Edge probably would go slightly better,
smell-wise, as Pheros has a very prominent sandalwood/oud note. It would just add another angle to the smell.

BTW, the
bottles and lids for "new generation" Pheros are in hand! I am now experimenting with various
bottling/dilution techniques in my lab, and dealing with some environmental control issues.
What's new for the
"new generation"? I added a few ingredients to the formula, including a natural fixative, a previously absent
"new/old" pheromonal substance (which will lend a subtly deeper and richer "naughty note", not that it was shallow
before), and more of the most prominent pheromonal substance (which seems partially responsible for the effect Kip
just noted, if I had to name an ingredient that would be; so hopefully we can cement that effect in a bit.). The
final effect in terms of smell will be a slightly greater longevity on the skin, and a slightly more prominent musky
note. The smell has also matured a bit, which means it should "hang together" a bit more. Some notes that were
buried also had a chance to surface, one of which (a very masculine note it had achieved early on) I had missed
dearly. On the other hand, it will still be very recognizable as Pheros. Of course, the packaging is also
new. It's less flashy and simpler; but sturdier, solid, attractive, elegant, and reusable. The bottles hold the
same amount of liquid, or maybe a ml more. You get a heavy screw on lid this time rather than a cork, which was cool
as a part of a special "gift item" for forum members, but less practical, as some of you noted. I tried a nice spray
lid, but decided against it, as the stuff just seems like it's meant to be dabbed. It seems more natural. The new
packaging also highlights the interesting and unusual appearance of the liquid.
I will release some news on
the timeline soon.

Good work Doc!
You heard it
here first kids, use TE/s with your Pheros.
Has anyone else tried it?
NPA has been tried, of course.
When I released the "pre-beta" version, I commented to a couple of the beta testers that I thought LaCroy products
would go well with it. I have always used it with Edge, though only Arouser. I like your idea better. OF course the
advantage of NPA is that it works better for mixing in the bottle without diluting something so much. Someone even
commented they thought the LC pheros improved the smell of Pheros, which didn't suprise me given the
holistic design of the product. But on the skin, I think I'd prefer your approach.

Are all the TE/m Gel packs the
Sandlewood scented ones?
Ooooh! Cant wait to try Pheros!
-D
Modifying and Tweaking is a journey,
Not a destination..........................
Has anyone been trying JDM/Ashes
formula?
3:1 Pheros:NPA?
Pheros should be along pretty soon
too shouldn't it Doc? :-)

Yep, the time is getting
steadily closer, Bruce. There are many steps involved in bottling and labeling, but I have an idea for hastening the
process a bit, inspired by your handling of Chikara. It is possible I'll have some product for you in 2 weeks. I
have someone working on the labels now too.

I cannot wait this is so
cool.
Still mainly using Chikara, I have triedOriginally Posted by bjf
that Pheros/NPA mix a little. Mainly a couple of dabs on the neck with Chikara on the wrists. Not much to report on
any improvment over Chikara alone, but the Pheros/NPA mix sure smells good. Been planning to try several dabs of the
Pheros mix alone, but I can't stay away from Chikara.
I do intend to try the Pheros/TE gel mix on Friday
though. Was tempted to do it today, but I'm kind of scared of none products in the work environment. I had a bad
experience in a bar once with a non Love Scent product with aggression from another male, and I don't want to risk
that at work. Things are flaky enough right now (the lunatics are taking over the asylum), I don't need to push
things with an accidental none OD.
A mix like that could be
effective at one Edge-sized dab.
The problem with the Ph/E/C mix is the potential for OD, but it's
theoretically good. I'd throw some A1 in there, too!

Funny you should say that Doc,
'cos that's what I have tried
But I find myself rushed to get out again, so I will post more later.
Tease!

I have been using the
TE/Pheros mix along with two sprays of Chikara to my neck and small dab of A1 (touch the dropper to my finger
leaving behind about 1/2 a drop) split between a few spots. I don't notice any scent clash, and it seems to be a
good development to Chikara and Pheros usage.
I tested this on a few casual situations with female friends, and
they were extra friendly - sitting closer than was natural, random hugs etc., nothing amazing but definately worth
testing further.
I went out on friday and last night using the above combo (substituting the A1 with my A1 mix
from the A1 thread). Bear in mind I wasn't looking to pull, but I was aiming to see just how interested the girls
would be, and to see if the reactions where as predicted (balanced, lots of attention, sexual but not too intense).
I had a lot of fun I did a pretty poor job of observing reactions untill we started dancing, where I
noticed girls (individuals and groups) hovering around me and my friends. They tended to follow me when I moved
around, usually as a responce to me smiling at them (when they got close I moved away, trying to push my luck as far
as possible and observe as many reactions as possible [aka, I'm a teasing bastard ]). One of the most enjoyable
reactions for me was from a very attractive brunnette. I had initially noticed her hanging around me and my friends
and smiled at her etc., but discounted it as a hit because she would just stare at me and or flip her hair around
and dance "to" some other guys. After this had happened a few times, I began to suspect that she was interested but
just being very hard to get, kind of typical but fine from my point of view. She was turning guys down all around
me, and then rubbing up against me behind my back. I turned around once and gave her a joking "what the hell are you
doing" look, and she laughed and came to dance in front of me when I turned back around. My friends were a little
annoyed
I'm not sure how much of what happened was down to the pheros (I find it hard to tell in
clubs sometimes, especially when I've had a few drinks), has someone else tried a similar mix?
Cpt, sounds very promising! whichOriginally Posted by CptKipling
A1 mix were you using? I have been using Pheros and Chikara together quite a bit, occasionaly with just a dab of
TE(heat), but am curious to see how A1 affects it. If you used the A1/-none mix from the other thread, along with
the TE and Chikara didn't that give you a -none OD, or did the A1 counteract that?
It was this one:
Before I added A1, is was aiming for a -nol heavy fibbernacci mix, with a -none to LC secretMy
mix gives the following approximate phero content (mg/ml):
-none: 0.14
-nol: 0.2
-rone: 0.06
A1: 0.067
LC
secret/m: 0.05
ratio greater than 1:1. I used 7SOE:2PI:3NPA:2AE:1A1.
With the A1 that mix is extremely well balanced, I
haven't had a single negative reaction (no aggration). Chikara also seems to be well balanced, and the TE ends up
being very spread out, so all told it seems unlikely that I will -none OD (I didn't see any sign either night).
Having said that, it is quite a lot, but then I was going to clubs/pubs where more is often helpfull. In a less busy
setting, I would certainlu wear less.
In my next order I'll get some more TE/s to mix with my Pheros.
Ultimately, I want to have a few vials of mixes/products ready mixed to take on holiday. This combo or a
developement of it will certainly be coming with me

Hmm .. my curiousity has
definitely been piqued and I'm tempted to give it a try ... already have both products here ... I've been on an
exclusive Chikara kick for the longest time but maybe I'll give this a shot ...
Update:
I have found a
great Aromatherapy/Herb shop within easy reach, so I will soon have some Sandalwood.
What would be the best way
to mix up some premixed Pheros/Sandal TE knock off?
I have TE unscented and NPA, but I'm guessing NPA is the
best way to go for concentration reasons. Basically, what's a good ratio of Sandal oil to NPA to dilutant?
I think I found 20-25 drops of
sandalwood to be good for a whole bottle of edge, diluting the oil with at least equal amounts of everclear first,
if not at 2:1. I'd let the oil dilute sit overnight sealed; then mix well with the edge or NPA and let it sit for a
couple days. I am guessing that about the same amount would work with NPA, though you might be better at the math
than I, as I dont' use NPA. Doing the real sandalwood thing has always been my favorite way to use Edge. But I like
your other idea too, for convenience sake.

Cheers Doc!
Hopefully I'll
be able to report back by the weekend.
Aha!
I have my Sandalwood,
and it smells good!
The only problem I have is that I don't have any everclear at the moment (ideas for
substitutes are welcome!), so would it be a crime to add a few drops of Sandalwood directly to some TE?
Congrats on your new purchase!
I confess I've done it before and it was fine -- It's just that it doesn't dissolve or mix near as well that
way. Forty drops or so of 151 rum works in a pinch. I do think that the sandalwood mixing thoroughly and combining
with the -none and secret ingredient might provide additional benefits due to the chemical structure of the
molecules in sandalwood. If it were me I'd be curious to try it the right way.

denatured alcohol should work
too. Cheap and easily available at any hardware store, drug stores too I think. Its mostly ethanol, with probably
some methanol.
Does Endgland have a drinking age you don't qualify for?
No sir! Thanks for the input,
but you do NOT want to use the stinky denatured alcohol that isn't meant for perfuming; as that will ruin the
smell. As I've said before, all denaturants are not created equal! You'd almost be better off with rubbing alcohol
(which is totally innappropriate also) than the denatured ethanol you get at drug stores.
