Thank you very much for your purchase of the Edge/Newbie Set!

The Edge is a very concentrated and effective product, but getting good at using it may take a little practice. Two important variables heavily affect how much Edge you will want to use at one time. One is your own natural pheromone output, which will have a lot to say about which products as well as how much of any one product will work the best. The other factor is the type and strength of whatever cologne you might be using with your Edge. A suitable cologne whether mixed with the Edge prior to application or applied to the body at the same time as the Edge, is generally required when using the unscented version of the Edge. If you have purchased the scented formula (sandalwood for men; vanilla for women), you may or may not need to use additional fragrance, in which case, start with one spray and work up as needed.

In light of the vast differences in colognes, natural body pheromones, and personal taste/style, the best way to find your own magic formula for success with the Edge is simply to experiment. If you are pre-mixing, mix up small test batches of cologne/Edge (starting with a 50/50 mixture), try them out, and if you have the time and interest record your results. As the Edge will probably change the fragrance of your cologne a little, be sure to test your experimental potions for fragrance as well as social effects on those around you. If you don’t want to pre-mix your pheros and cologne, try spraying a little of both the unscented Edge and your favorite cologne on to one wrist and mix by rubbing the wrists together. This application point will make it very easy for you to take test sniffs whenever you like and keep the pheromones away from your own nose the rest of the time thus keeping your own sense of smell from becoming numbed by overexposure. Start with one spray of the Edge and increase gradually until you get optimal results.

NEWBIE SPECIAL SET:
If your bottle of Edge came to you as part of a Newbie Special Set then the first thing you will probably want to do is use the atomizer and essential oil that came with the set to mix up your first test batch. To do that simply pour a couple ml of Edge into your handy pocket atomizer and using the eyedropper in the top of the essential oil bottle, put an equal amount of e-oil into the atomizer, close it and shake well. Again you may want to apply your mixtures to the wrists for ease and effectiveness of sniff testing.

CAUTION: 
* Unscented Edge has a very strong natural musky odor that has been compared to BO (body odor). Use with caution, especially if you use it alone (without cologne)
* About 1 in 4 men and almost that many women, can not smell pheromones at all, even up close. You can test your own phero-nose by applying a spray or two of the Edge to a piece of cloth. Wait for it to dry for a few minutes and then take a sniff. If you don’t smell anything on the spot, then you need to be especially careful when using the Edge.

Thank you very much for your purchase of the New Pheromone Additive.

New Pheromone Additive (NPA) is a very effective product, but getting used to mixing may take a little practice. Two important variables heavily affect how much you will want to add to your cologne. One is your own natural pheromone signature, which will have a lot to say about which products as well as how much of any one product will work the best. The other factor is the type and strength of the cologne you are using. The best way to deal with both of these variables is simply to experiment. Mix up small test batches of cologne/PA mix, try them out, and if you have the time and interest record your results. As PA will probably change the fragrance of your cologne a little, be sure to test your experimental potions for fragrance as well as social effects on those around you.

When mixing, start with a relatively weak ratio (about 1 part PA to 4 parts cologne) and build up as necessary. Some customers have reported that 2 parts PA to 5 parts cologne works well, but as I mentioned, every individual is different as is every cologne. If possible try varying your cologne as well as the amount of PA you mix in.

The science of chemical attraction is admittedly in its infancy, and the exact details of pheromone application depend on the personal preference and particular natural body chemistry of the user, but I will try to lay down a few general guidelines. A few of the products come with their own specific instructions. Be sure to read the list of application points at the end of this sheet, and check our forum for the latest news and a wealth of vital pheromone information at www.love-scent.com/forum/.

**Pheromone Colognes (dab-on oils)** (Alter Ego, Passion Copulin Concentrate, and Pheromol Factor) These products can be dabbed on like normal oil-base colognes. Let your nose be your guide for the amount. You may notice the initial fragrance transforming into the more musky residual pheromone smell underneath as time passes.

**Scented Concentrates** (Scented Edge, Scented Primal, Scented Attraction) These are extremely concentrated products that have a simple organic fragrance added to help mask the underlying musky smell of the pheromones, which on their own and in large amounts can be offensive. As with the colognes, your nose can be your guide to the optimal application amount but more caution is advised than with the above colognes.

**Unscented Concentrates** (Unscented Edge, Unscented Primal, and Unscented Alpha-7) These products are extremely concentrated and present the possibility of “pheromone OD” (over dose), as they contain no added fragrance to mask the portion of the pheromone “scent” which can be consciously detected with the nose. In extreme cases this smell has been compared to “body odor”, so some caution is advised. Since about 25% of US males are unable to detect the smell of their own predominant pheromone (androstenone) and presumably another portion are somewhat impaired in that ability, the nose is not always a dependable guide in determining how much is too much. Furthermore, the environment, setting and personal preferences of the intended target are all going to play a major role in determining the optimal amount so a LOT of experimentation is recommended. There is often a fine line between “Damn! this guy makes me horny!” and “Damn! this dude needs a shower!” and the old adage of “One man’s (or woman’s) medicine is another’s poison” was never more appropriate than in the use of pheromones. A good cologne is also highly recommended with these products. Dosage? Start with one spray (Edge) or 1-2 drops (Primal) and work your way up. Especially when used with a good cologne, larger amounts of these products have been found to be very effective depending on the environment. Just be careful; experiment a lot and don’t allow the occasional “OD disaster” to throw you off the path to success.

**Additive Products** (New Pheromone Additive) These are extremely concentrated formulae which are designed to be added to your own cologne. You should receive a separate instruction sheet with these products. Please refer to that for details on mixing. A pocket sized atomizer available at love-scent.com or your local pharmacy is very handy for mixing up small batches and keeping them ready for use “in the field.” Plastic (no needle) syringes, also available at your local pharmacy may prove useful for extracting controlled amounts from the Additive bottles. New Pheromone Additive has a plastic dropper top which many customers find useful, but it can also be easily removed for pouring or to allow the insertion of a glass eye-dropper or measuring syringe.

**Super Primal Essential Oils** These oils come in a handy dropper bottle and are reputed to contain some androstenol, but their primary use is to add fragrance to the powerful unscented (though often “stinky”) pheromone products like Edge, Andro 4.2, and Primal Instinct. For this task they are very well suited. If you have a spare empty atomizer fill it half way with Edge or Andro and squirt in a dropper-full of SP e-oil. Give it a shake and see what you get. Carefully add more, testing as you go along, until you get something that smells good after it has been applied and dried for a few minutes. You can also trying adding the SP e-oil directly into the Edge or Andro bottle, if you think you have a good idea what ratio you are looking for. With the oil-base Primal Instinct, you may want to try the reverse, adding the Primal directly into the SP e-oil bottle. An empty roll-top bottle is handy for quick application and safe packing in pocket or purse.

**Wipes** (Edge Wipes for Men and Women) Wipes are handy ways to apply and carry pheromones on the go.  Quite a bit of area can be covered with a single wipe, and quick saturation of a large area of skin without “perfume OD” is the forte of the wipes. Simply wipe them over exposed skin: neck, throat, chest, arms, legs etc., using up as much of the moisture in the wipe as possible. I have heard from female customers who tuck the freshly used wipe into their bra.

**Unrated pheromone colognes** (IR colognes, APC) These are pheromone containing colognes for which we have no clear data on the pheromone content, or as is the case with APC, we have the data, but it is not that impressive. Nevertheless, customers keep coming back for them all even as stand-alone products; they smell great; and they can be effectively spiked with potent additive products like NPA or AFA. APC is still a major force as a fragrance base for mixing products.

**The Kit** (Pheromone chemistry sets) These are only for seasoned phero-gurus. Like they say about the prices at expensive restaurants: “If you have to ask, it’s not for you.” More seriously, some basic information comes with the set, but they are very new and mainly for experimental purposes. The first few owners of them doubtlessly know more about them already than we do.

APPLICATION POINTS
For starters, try all the normal perfume spots: wrists, behind the ears, throat, and chest. Next level: inside of elbows and knees if exposed. Women report success with ankles and thighs. Requiring more caution but reportedly very effective for pheromones in the right amounts are: arm pits, hair and pubis. Unscented sprays are often applied to clothing collars and cuffs for long term use. Watch out for over-application and staining of fine material.

Here we will address some of the questions about pheromones in general. The material is split up into different sections to make for easy browsing.

Enjoy!

Pheromones in General

What are pheromones?

Are pheromones human or animal?

Do they smell? I thought they were “scentless.”

What does “VNO” mean?

Are pheromones just for heterosexuals?

What is the difference between androstenone and androstenol?

I read that alcohol destroys pheromones. Is that really true?

What are pheromones?

Pheromones are natural chemical scents the body produces in order to communicate with others nearby. They are well documented in the animal kingdom as the force that controls all social behavior, including mating. In recent years scientists have found that human behavior is also heavily influenced by these invisible airborne chemicals.

Scientists have long known that odors and subliminal scents – or pheromones – influence how animals develop, mate, bond, and nurture their offspring. It has come to be known that humans are no exception. Odors can accelerate puberty, control women’s menstrual cycles, and even influence sexual orientation. They help us tell lovers and family members from strangers and let mothers and infants bond. Odors affect how often we have sex, and with whom. They influence how the brain develops, what we remember, and how we learn. (James Kohl – Researcher)

For more information, please read the “What are pheromones?” article which goes into more detail.
Are your pheromones human or animal?

All of the pheromones and pheromone products listed on this site are human pheromones. The use of “animal” pheromones may have been a problem years ago, but not now. Nowadays the pheromones you find in popular products are made in a laboratory. It is just as easy to make human pheromones as it is to make animal pheromones, so there is not much point in making the wrong ones. Long ago musk perfume used to come exclusively from the animal known as the musk deer. Nowadays we can make that in a lab too, so the animals are safe from slaughter.

Some companies try to scare their customers by telling them about the use of animal pheromones, but it is just propaganda, so they are probably the ones you should worry about. No company uses animal pheromones anymore, but there are companies that will try to scam you or have products with a very lowpheromone content. THAT is what you have to worry about, not animal pheromones.

Do pheromones have a smell? I thought they were scentless.

Anyone who owns a bottle of Primal Instinct or AFA or NPA can tell you that if you get a good nose full of androstenone you will be able to smell it. It is a musky smell that some customers have even described as “BO” or stale sweat . That is what one particular human pheromone (androstenone) smells like. The “scentless” claim just means that pheromones are effective at levels undetectable with our normal smelling system. The mood lifting, friendliness and attention getting reactions still occur if we can’t consciously smell the pheromones because we detect them with a method that is not our normal sense of smell. This method is largely unknown, but it is done by some combination of the vomeronasal organ and the olfactory membranes. So, the real pheromone effect happens subconsciously, and doesn’t require that others get that musky smell. It’s like the subliminal message on self-help tapes. The sound is there and you can hear it, but it slips in underneath other sounds on the tape. The pheromone smell is there, but you don’t really notice it, because of other smells. That is why many people use a good cologne (or naturally scented oil) with unscented pheromone products like Primal Instinct. It blends with the pheromone smell and makes it a little more digestible (approachable). Also, if you are wearing a sexy cologne or perfume, it will wake up the sense of smell of your target, he/she will intentionally make an effort to get a good whiff of you, and then the pheromones go to work. The fragrance works as a carrier for the pheromones.

What does “VNO” mean??

VNO stands for Vomeronasal Organs. They are 2 small sensory organs located in the nose that operate separately from the part of our nose that detect normal smells. The VNO is used by the body to detect some types of pheromones, but is not the exclusive pheromone sensing organ many believe it to be. The membranes of the VNO, along with other receptor cells on the main olfactory membrain, are adapted to detect pheromones at low concentrations and to transmit information to the brain/hypothalamus.

Are pheromones just for heterosexuals?

Pheromones are not just for heterosexuals or any kind of “sexuals” for that matter. Pheromones can be used to make you seem and feel more attractive and youthful to those around you regardless of your goals, sexual or otherwise. Whether you are male or female gay or straight, I am convinced that supplementalPheromones can enrich your social life.

Interestingly, a lot of the human pheromones on the market are unisex, click here for more details.
What is the difference between androstenone and androstenol?

They are both testosterone-linked pheromones and produced in different ratios on the bodies of both men and women. Androstenone is more of an aggressive pheromone than androstenol. Primal Instinct contains only androstenone, and is proud of the fact, while the product “Attraction” and most of the Stone Lab products contain both. Read the Human Pheromones page for more detail on both pheromones.

I read that alcohol destroys pheromones. Is that true?

No, there is no evidence that alcohol destroys pheromones. In fact, alcohol may destroy bacteria that can break pheromones down slowly over time. Pure oil-base pheromone samples and products like Primal Instinct do seem to lose some potency with age, but it is a slow process that takes years and can be avoided to some extent by storing such products away from sunlight and heat, and keeping the cap on tightly.

Bottom line is… there are products that are entirely oil-based (eg: Primal Instinct); products that are entirely alcohol-base (eg: the Edge); and products that contain both alcohol and oil (eg: the Stone Lab products). All three have their fans for various reasons. Rumors that one or the other type is useless have probably been created by marketing propaganda.
About the products

Why are there so many products, what is the difference?

How do I choose?

What is good for beginners?

Attracting members of the same sex

What is the difference between manufacturers?

Is PI your best product?

How long do they last?

What is all this I hear about mixing two or more products together?

Why are there so many products, what is the difference?

The many different types of pheromones cater for the many and varied needs of the pheromone customer. The majority of pheromone users are wanting to increase their presence and the amount of attention they get, and thus the majority of pheromone products contain adrostenone. There are also products that aim to increase your approachability.

These days there are a lot of sites selling the same products, but you must be careful to choose one that has a good reputation. Love Scent has the largest user-base on the net (which is why this site – which is built by users – even exists!) and so is a very safe bet.

For more information about the various products read the the Product Guide.
How do I choose?

If you have the time and want to make a truly educated decision, I would read as much as you can of the material located in the Pheromone Information Library. A good place to start is the Product Guide and the Newbie FAQ.

What is good for beginners?

There is usually a “Beginner’s Special” or “Duo/Combo” of some sort available at the top of the Love-Scent.com home page that offers 1-2 of the leading products at a discount price and often with great supporting services/products and special guarantee for new folks. For instructions on how to use your Beginner’s Kit click here. The sample gel packs from Love Scent are also a good place to start (there are free samples with every order on a wednesday).

Attracting members of the same sex

There is now some scientific evidence that seems to indicate that gay men produce pheromones that are quite different from those produced by heterosexual males (soon to be published article by James V. Kohl). Even though there are a few pheromone products on the market that were created for the gay community, I doubt that they are using any of this promising new technology. So, for the time being gay men and lesbians have only products designed for heterosexuals to choose from. Keeping in mind that pheromones are a bit like clothing or make up in that they can create certain style or image changes including making us appear and feel more masculine or feminine, I think that the current pheromone product selection may well be of use to some gays and lesbians who want to adjust their masculinity/femininity/approachability in one way or the other. Furthermore there are a few products that have been embraced by both men and women recently. The only pheromone that gay men should really stay away from is androsterone, as this is a very “non-gay” male pheromone.

What is the difference between manufacturers?

Know your manufacturer! Manufacturers tend to produce products of similar genre/effectiveness/price range.

The top manufacturers are:

LaCroy Chemical

Stone Research Lab

Primal Instinct Inc BDC Concepts
Is Primal Instinct your best product?

Primal clearly has a high concentration of androstenone, but there are other factors that sometimes make other products a better choice. Every product sold at love-scent.com has its loyal followers. Actually, the price of Primal is due to the extremely high pheromone content. You don’t need that much at any one time. The manufacturer recommends only 2 drops per application, so a 10ml bottle lasts a LONG time. It is not any more effective than say NPA (male formula), which includes the same TYPE of pheromone in it. It just lasts a very long time, since you only need to use 2 drops per application.

How long do they last?

Pheromones hold up much longer than normal cologne, but if you apply them to the body, quite a bit is washed away or broken down in the first 4-6 hours. Actual breakdown time depends VERY much on body heat, sweating, and personal body chemistry; so in the winter on your wrists the scent might last much longer, and if it gets onto your clothing, it can last for days or weeks! The Edge can be applied to clothing directly and will last for weeks or until washed out.

What is all this I hear about mixing two or more products together?

Take a look at the Pheromone Forum and you will quickly notice that experienced pheromone users often mix two or more products together in order to achieve synergistic effects greater than can be had with a single product. This type of mixing requires some skill and practice to perform successfully, but guidance can be found in the Pheromone Forum and the Pheromone Cookbook.

How do I make the most of pheromones?

Remember that pheromones are tools. It takes a little practice to learn to work with them.

Men: Be the “good guy”! Pheromones give you an aura of power, but that can be scary for shy women if you look grumpy or like a “lone wolf”. Always look for opportunities to be helpful and supportive of women. It is also very important to be a friendly, interesting, entertaining guy. Pheromones will enhance these good attributes, but if they aren’t there in the first place, there is nothing to enhance.

Women: Be approachable! If you suffer from the “ice maiden” syndrome, pheromones are only going to push you further out of reach, even to guys you would love to get to know. You don’t necessarily have to make the first move, but be ready to come up with a warm smile and maybe even a cheerful “hello” if you happen to make eye contact with a guy.

Everybody: Practice makes perfect. Don’t wait for Mr. or Ms. perfect to come along before you start acting like a friendly sensual human being. Start now. Be friendly; be helpful; be funny. Don’t be like the crazy old man shouting at his wood stove: “Damn it ! I’ll give you some wood as soon as you give me some heat!” People love to be loved. People love to be with folks who look like they are having a good time. Women in particular are often looking for someone whose life is headed in a positive direction. Chemistry is only half the picture you give to folks. Humans are more complex/social/spiritual than other animals. It takes more than a spray of pheromones to get where you are heading.

How and where do I apply pheromones?

For starters, try all the normal perfume spots: wrists, behind the ears, throat, and chest. Next level: inside of elbows and knees if exposed. Women report success with ankles and thighs. Requiring more caution but reportedly very effective for pheromones in the right amounts are: arm pits, hair and pubis. Unscented sprays are often applied to clothing collars and cuffs for long term use. Watch out for over-application and staining of fine material.

Can I mix phero’s with my own cologne or perfume?

Yes, mixing pheromones with cologne or perfume is a great way to use pheromones. We usually recommend you use an unscented pheromone to mix with your current cologne or perfume. Cologne fragrances are generally very complex and adding one scented product to another can lead to unexpected results. Be careful or leave that to the pros.

How do I mix and use pheromones?

Pheromone Colognes (dab-on oils)** (Passion Pheromone Attractant, Passion Copulin Concentrate, and Pheromol Factor) These products can be dabbed on like normal oil-base colognes. Let your nose be your guide for the amount. You may notice the initial fragrance transforming into the more musky residualpheromone smell underneath as time passes.

Scented Concentrates (scented Edge, scented Primal Instinct, Alter Ego, scented Attraction) These are extremely concentrated products that have a simple organic fragrance added to help mask the underlying musky smell of the pheromones, which on their own and in large amounts can be offensive. As with the colognes, your nose can be your guide to the optimal application amount but more caution is advised than with the above colognes.

Unscented Concentrates (unscented Edge, unscented Primal Instinct, unscented Attraction and Andro 4.2) These products are extremely concentrated and present the possibility of “pheromone OD” (overdose), as they contain no added fragrance to mask the portion of the pheromone “scent” which can be consciously detected with the nose. In extreme cases this smell has been compared to “body odor”, so some caution is advised. Since about 25% of US males are unable to detect the smell of their own predominant pheromone (androstenone) and presumably another portion are somewhat impaired in that ability, the nose is not always a dependable guide in determining how much is too much. Furthermore, the environment, setting and personal preferences of the intended target are all going to play a major role in determining the optimal amount so a LOT of experimentation is recommended. There is often a fine line between “Damn! this guy makes me horny!” and “Damn! this dude needs a shower!” and the old adage of “One man’s (or woman’s) medicine is another’s poison” was never more appropriate than in the use of pheromones. A good cologne is also highly recommended with these products. Dosage? Start with one spray (Edge and Attraction) or 1-2 drops (Primal) and work your way up. Especially when used with a good cologne, larger amounts of these products have been found to be very effective depending on the environment. Just be careful; experiment a lot and don’t allow the occasional “OD disaster” to throw you off the path to success.

Additive Products (New Pheromone Additive NPA, Androstenone Fragrance Additive AFA) These are extremely concentrated formulae which are designed to be added to your own cologne. You should receive a separate instruction sheet with these products. Please refer to that for details on mixing. A pocket sized atomizer available at love-scent.com or your local pharmacy is very handy for mixing up small batches and keeping them ready for use “in the field.” Plastic (no needle) syringes, also available at your local pharmacy may prove useful for extracting controlled amounts from the Additive bottles. New Pheromone Additivehas a plastic dropper top which many customers find useful, but it can also be easily removed for pouring or to allow the insertion of a glass eye-dropper or measuring syringe.

Super Primal Essential Oils These oils come in a handy dropper bottle and are reputed to contain some androstenol, but their primary use is to add fragrance to the powerful unscented (though often “stinky”) pheromone products like Edge, Andro 4.2, and Primal Instinct. For this task they are very well suited. If you have a spare empty atomizer fill it half way with Edge or Andro and squirt in a dropper-full of SP e-oil. Give it a shake and see what you get. Carefully add more, testing as you go along, until you get something that smells good after it has been applied and dried for a few minutes. You can also trying adding the SP e-oil directly into the Edge or Andro bottle, if you think you have a good idea what ratio you are looking for. With the oil-base Primal Instinct, you may want to try the reverse, adding the Primal directly into the SP e-oil bottle. An empty roll-top bottle is handy for quick application and safe packing in pocket or purse.

Un-rated pheromone colognes (Yes, Lure, IR colognes, APC) These are pheromone containing colognes for which we have no clear data on the pheromonecontent, or as is the case with APC, we have the data, but it is not that impressive. Nevertheless, customers keep coming back for them all even as stand-alone products; they smell great; and they can be effectively spiked with potent additive products like NPA or AFA. APC is still a major force as a fragrance base for mixing products.

The Kit (Pheromone chemistry sets) These are only for seasoned phero-gurus. Some basic information comes with the set, but they are very new and mainly for experimental purposes. The first few owners of them doubtlessly know more about them already than we do. Check the forum for the latest news.

Is it better to apply to the skin or to clothing?

Both skin and clothing applications are effective in their own way. Due to body heat pheromones applied to the skin evaporate very fast putting them into “effect” very quickly. This may be what you want in some cases, but it also means the active ingredients get used up very quickly. In addition, pheromonesapplied to the skin also get washed away by sweat and broken down by bacteria on the skin. Unscented spray products like Edge are easily applied to clothing. Just keep in mind that the “scent” will be on there for a LONG time, and may take several washings to come off completely. You may want to be careful of delicate fabric too.

What kind of expectations can I have?

You can expect a lot from high quality concentrated pheromone products like Primal Instinct, AFA, SOE and The Edge etc. It just takes a little while to get good at using them. Some people might see results instantly, but the majority of people will get better results over time. Pheromones are more of a tool than a magic wand. You have to learn to work with them. What you have there is a top of the line tennis racket. It takes practice to make the most of it.

Tips for men: First of all keep in mind what a high-end andro product does. It makes you more attractive in a male sort of a way, more manly, studly etc. That is a good thing for attracting most women, but keep in mind that generally you have to look friendly. You have to temper the stud thing with Mr. helpful or you are going to have a hard time breaking the ice with most women. Primal makes you seem more powerful but I can tell you from experience that women have to get the feeling that you are going to use that power to protect them and not control or exploit them. Weak and helpful is a loser, but tough and mean also loses. If you walk into a convenience store looking like Clint Eastwood, you aren’t going to get anybody approaching you.

Tips for women: Be mysterious, be seductive but be approachable. Fear is your worst enemy, both in yourself and in the guys you would like to meet. Help make the “ice” easily broken; be generous with your warm smile and “hello”; then just let the chemistry take its course.

I have tried using various amount and product, but I did not get any response, what is wrong, or what can I do?

A. When in doubt, cut back on the pheromones; start light and work up slowly; just one spray of strong spray products like the Edge is often plenty. Less is often more and your own personal body chemistry dictates what works for you; not the type and amount of pheros that works so well for your roommate.

B. Beware of the “BO” effect. Androstenone-heavy products like Primal and Edge have a musky though elusive smell, which many women depending on culture, upbringing, relationship status and “time of the month” perceive as dirty or invasive. As many as 25% of all US males can not detect this smell at all, so be careful! Most women can smell it very well. If you are having trouble, try one small spray (or dab) of such products on each wrist and apply some cologne over the top. Then rub your wrists together. I do that during the day for business situations, and it seems to work well.

C. Next, it is VERY important to look approachable/safe. Men in particular have to watch out for the CEE (Clint Eastwood Effect) with the androstenone-heavy products. Make sure you don’t look scary or like a “lone wolf”. If you have a history of that problem, this type of product is only going to intensify the situation. Be friendly and helpful without putting pressure on people, and never be afraid to smile at someone. It is a very powerful force.

D. Once you have the stage set for romance, there is still the matter of simply “rolling the dice”. It doesn’t always come up 7, but the pheros will improve your odds. Just relax and enjoy the ride. Everyone wants to be friends with someone who looks like he/she is having a good time. So, “don’t worry, be happy.”

E. Don’t just sit back and wait for the positive reactions to fall in your lap, go and mingle! Pheromones enhance, they won’t create something out of nothing.

You gotta get up every morning with a smile on your face, and show the world all the love in your heart!

Then people are gonna treat you better,

You’re gonna find, yes you will:

That you’re beautiful…. as you feel!

Orders placed online will appear on your credit card statement as: “Love Scent Pheromone Store.” Orders placed by telephone will normally also appear as Love Scent Pheromone Store, BUT if that is a problem, you can request that your order be charged via our back up account at the call center. Tell the operator that you would rather NOT have “Love Scent Pheromone Store” appear on your credit card statement. She will then make a note of this on your order, and your statement will read “Mountain West Communication” or “MWC”.

I’m worried about getting ripped off

What you have to watch out for is websites that just take your money and send you bootleg versions of popular products, or don’t send you any product at all. That is the big problem at the moment. Be careful. There are a number of sites that look just like ours, but have slightly different addresses. Similar to Love Scent Pheromone Store but with some small change to the address.

I want to order but I’m afraid to give out my email address

We never send any junk mail or sell our addresses. When you place an order with Love-Scent.com, we use the email address you give us to send you an immediate invoice confirming that the transaction has gone through and another message shortly after your order is shipped. This second e-mail includes info about your order and free support services we offer, but unless you have signed up for one of our 2 mailing lists, that is the last you will hear from us. We value your trust and won’t do anything to annoy you (intentionally anyway ;-)). We are getting LOTS of new and interesting products and hope you will come back!

In general, you may also want to sign up for one of the many free disposable e-mail address (Yahoo or Hotmail for example). You can use these addresses more freely on the internet and change them if you start getting spammed by unscrupulous companies.

Is there a money back guarantee?

Yes, we have a very good money back guarantee: If you try one of our products out and you don’t notice anything out of the ordinary happening to yourself and/or those around you, you can send it back and get your money back. We just ask that you:

A. Give the product a good testing over a period of at least 2 weeks. It often takes that long to figure out how to use pheromones properly and notice results.

B. Return the product within 90 days of purchase.

C. Include a brief note with the returned item, explaining what the problem was.

Send the product back to:

Love Scent Pheromone Store

PO Box 402

Hotchkiss, CO 81419

We will refund the amount you sent to us initially (purchase price and shipping). You only pay to send the bottle back to us.

NOTE: Some products and sets of products are offered under our special “Newbie Guarantee”. This guarantee is even stronger than our normal guarantee. Products purchased under the Newbie guarantee can be returned for any reason (eg: “I don’t like the smell”), and you can keep any free items that were included with your order.

My country is not listed in your shopping cart. How do I place an order?

We have had a lot of trouble with orders to certain countries, which we have since taken off the online order list of countries. Fraudulent credit cards is one problem, but also the post offices and often the customs officials as well are unreliable and either delay the packages, lose them or just straight out steal them. I am very sorry if this situation affects you. We can ship the product to you, but we would have to be paid in advance by bank wire transfer or you can order by mail with a certified international money order.

If you pay $30. extra for Express Mail shipping you will probably get your order quite quickly but we cannot take any responsibility if it gets lost or stolen in transit.

If you want to order by money order, please have a look at the mail order form in the Love Scent Store.

You can print that page out and use it for your order form.

The address and all the other info you need are there as well

If you would like to pay by way of bank to bank wire transfer write us for details.

Human pheromones – Estratetraenol (estra-1,3,5(10),16-tetraen-3-ol)

This is supposedly the female equivalent to androstadienone (A1), but it’s availability is even less than that of androstadienone (A1). Like A1, it stimulates the VNO. It may also have some mood elevating properties in men.

Pheromone products that contain Estratetraenol:

Pheromax – PMAX (women’s version)

Human pheromones – Androstadienone (delta 4,16-androstadien-3-one)

This is a pheromone that is widely documented to have a very specific effect on the brain activity of women. One particular study has shown that it affects attention and social cognition areas of the brain. It is also one of the only pheromones that has been shown to stimulate the VNO, and so has been described as a vomeropherin.

Androstadienone, more commonly known as A1, is a very popular pheromone within the pheromone community. One of it’s more remarkable effects is that it can elevate a woman’s mood, and even alleviate PMS stress! It has been known to increase intimacy and comfort, and can also increase caring feelings. It has been called the “love pheromone” because of the nature of the feelings and reactions it induces in women, and also because of it’s usefulness in more cozy relationship situations.

There are no known over dose effects for Androstadienone (A1), but it does convert to androstenone over time on the skin so an OD risk can be created this way.

Pheromone products that contain Androstadienone (A1):

Pheromax – PMAX (men’s version)

Human pheromones – Copulins

Copulins are an exclusively female group of pheromones. There are secreted into the vagina at the optimum ratios during ovulation with the aim of encouraging men to desire to copulate. This group of pheromones primarily consists of fatty acids that would serve little to no function on there own, but in combination they have been shown to increase testosterone levels in men by 150% (Astrid Jutte study). This increase in testosterone may cause feelings of arousal in men if a woman is present. It is said that once a man smells Copulins on a woman she is deemed to be more attractive.

Typical reactions from Copulins will be consistent with male indications of interest.

Pheromones products that contain Copulins are:

Essence of Woman – EW

Primal Instinct – PI/w (women’s version)

Passion Copulin Concentrate – PCC

Perfect 10 – P10 (women’s version)

Scent of Eros – SOE/w (women’s version)

Pheromax – PMAX (women’s version)

Human pheromones – Androsterone

Androsterone is a human only pheromone. It’s use as a pheromone is born out of the fact that males with a higher ratio of Androsterone to Etiocholanone are more masculine. Homosexual males have lower ratios of Androsterone to Etiocholanone. Thus, androsterone makes the wearer appear to be more masculine and/or dominant, but without the aggression of androstenone. This pheromone also creates an aura of safety, protection and reliability normally associated with a more peaceful alpha male. Androsterone also provides the respect of androstenone without the possible negative connotations of the aggressive nature of androstenone.

When worn by women, androsterone has been reported to have mood elevating effects.

Through experimentation, some users have reported that androsterone can enhance or boost the message that other pheromones in a product or pheromone mix are signaling.

There are no known over dose effects for androsterone.

Pheromone products that contain androsterone:

Scent of Eros – SOE (men’s version)

Alter Ego – AE (men’s and women’s versions)

Perfect 10 – (men’s and women’s versions)

Human pheromones – Androstenone (5alpha-androst-16-en-3-one)

Androstenone is common in humans and in pigs, which is the source of some of the erroneous “pig pheromone” claims. This pheromone is found in both men and women, is predominantly known of as a male pheromone. This is because it typically creates a dominant, intimidating, aggressive aura. Therefore, pheromone products containing this are likely to project an aggressive alpha impression (either alpha male or female), which might help you to be the centre of attention and be noticed more. Since alpha aggressiveness is often associated with sex and good mate choice, this pheromone can create a sexual vibe and increase sexual tension. To cause members of the opposite sex to become slightly intimidated by you can be attractive, so this pheromone helps in this regard too. Androstenone has also been known to cause people to act more respectfully and polite to the wearer.

Be sure to wear an adequate cover fragrance over or near any androstenone applications, this pheromone has quite a pungent stale sweat/urine smell in high concentrations.

An over dose (OD) of andostenone can cause:

• Headaches
• Bad smelling applications
• Aggression from other members of the same sex
• An aggressive mood in the wearer
• Members of the opposite sex to be overly intimidated, leading to no or even negative reactions.

Pheromone products that contain Androstenone:

Primal Instinct – PI (men’s version)

Passion Pheromone Attractant – PPA (men’s version)

New Pheromone Additive – NPA (men’s and women’s versions)

The Edge – TE (men’s and women’s versions)

Alter Ego – AE (men’s and women’s versions)

Pheromax – PMAX (men’s version)

Human pheromones – Androstenol

There are now two types of this compound that are used in pheromone products, the alpha and beta isomers, each producing slightly different effects. The alpha and beta have nothing to do with the pheromone projecting an alpha aura. Both seem to cause chattiness and friendliness.

alpha-Androstenol (5alpha-androst-16-en-3-ol)

The alpha isomer of Androstenol creates a friendly approachably impression, and can make the wearer seem less intimidating and more approachable. It seems to be more of a neurotic chatty pheromone than the beta isomer, touching more on empathy and romantic feelings. Androstenol also creates an aura of youth and health, which can help to create an impression of reproductive fitness, which is attractive.

The primary reported response to Androstenol or Androstenol containing products has been an increase in chattiness and friendliness from both sexes, but as mentioned above it can increase sexual attractiveness as well. It has been referred to as an “ice-breaker” pheromone.

An over dose (OD) of Androstenol can cause:

• Headaches
• A feeling akin to a kind of drunken tiredness
• An impression of weakness. In other words, making you appear a lot less alpha

Pheromone products that contain alpha-androstenol:

Scent of Eros – SOE (men’s version)

Alter Ego – AE (men’s and women’s versions)

Perfect 10 – (men’s and women’s versions)

Chikara

beta-Androstenol

This pheromone is only available as a chemistry set pheromone for experimentation, but it may be in some products as one of the undisclosed “secret ingredients”.

Not much is known about this pheromone because of it’s limited availability, but some users report that it is less playful than the alpha isomer, but that it is good for inducing conversations on a larger social scale. It seems as though it’s primary use is to enhance alpha-androstenol, adding extra amounts of friendliness and comfort.

It is not yet known what an OD of beta-androstenol causes.

The only product that contains beta-androstenol is the beta-androstenol chemistry set bottle
