Do Pheromones Work? A Candid Pheromone Review

Beaches by Michael Vie

Beaches by Micheal Vie proved itself to be a very impressive and very powerful pheromone cologne. Although Beaches is currently ranked in the number 11th position, among many of the top quality pheromones for men ranked here, this is little reflection on this products true effectiveness, nor versatility! Beaches by Michael Vie is some good stuff!

Beaches by Michael Vie is an old timer among pheromones in general, it’s been around for quite sometime, but is not often discussed by experienced pheromone enthusiasts, simply because it is not aggressively marketed or advertised. Why? Because when a pheromone works as well as this, it needs little marketing!

Although Beaches is billed as a powerful social or “icebreaker” pheromone cologne as well as a strong “sexual attractant,” it proved itself to be much more smooth than this description of it would imply. Beaches by Michael Vie reminded me of, and has strong parallels to The Scent of Eros for Men, with a strong hint of the “sexual frustration” vibe thrown into the mix of things. If I were to simply rate “only” pheromones classified as “icebreakers,” I would rank Beaches right after The Scent of Eros for Men to be frank.

Beaches is an oil based pheromone cologne with a very pleasant and pleasing smell to it. I personally couldn’t quite put my finger on the exact smell, but it was similar to an almost “honey” scent, but not quite! Needless to say, the scent itself is very pleasing, and the scent alone will be the source of an almost embarrassing number of compliments from females within smelling distance!

So What Powers Beaches by Micheal Vie?

Without even trying to look up the ingredients of Beaches before testing it, it was more than obvious by the reactions I received from others that it contained some type of Androstenol. Actually, I was very close, according to the creators of this lovely pheromone cologne it contains Alpha Androstenol as well as Alpha Androstenone. However, the exact dosage levels of each included in this pheromone are not disclosed, I imagine they view such as proprietary information, I suppose I can’t blame them these days.

Alpha Androstenol is an interesting beast among human pheromone compounds, ironically this compound is predominantly “secreted” by females! However, use of Alpha Androstenol in Beaches by Michael Vie was rather brilliant, as this “female” pheromone compound, if you will, is also known to induce the following affects upon females themselves;

“…females exposed to Alpha Androstenol tend to show an increased willingness to initiate social contact with males…were much more receptive to male initiated social contact…And were much more likely to seek out male company as opposed to other female company.”

So in other words, the inclusion of Alpha Androstenol in Beaches adds a strong “social” vibe which is unconsciously perceived by others, essentially making it in part an “icebreaker” pheromone cologne, much like The Scent of Eros for Men. However, it does not stop here, Michael Vie also included some amount of Alpha Androstenone, which is essentially Androstenone as it’s primary purpose in this mix is to add the whole “sexual attraction” and “sexual frustration” vibe into Beaches.

“Androstenone is a human pheromone which the pheromone community refers to basically as a sexually base pheromone.  Androstenone signals those exposed, among other things, dominance, aggression, competition, and is strongly known to be associated and to induce feeling of strong sexual attraction.”

As I previously mentioned, Michael Vie does not disclose the exact amounts of Alpha Androstenol or Androstenone included in Beaches, however, judging by the reactions I received from others I would confidently guess it is a tad heavier on the “social,” or Androstenol side than the latter.

So far as negative reactions go, well perhaps I was fortunate, but I noticed no real negative reactions from others, nor any other reactions which might suggest a lurking “overdose risk.” In this respect, once again, Beaches by Michael Vie appears to be very similar to The Scent of Eros for Men.

Field Test Results for Beaches by Michael Vie

In total I ended up conducting 16 field tests with Beaches, utilizing this pheromone cologne in both work and social environments to try to get a feel for how the stuff would actually perform. Beaches is very easy to use, simply roll this oil based pheromone onto either the forearms, neck, or wrists. I personally applied Beaches along either side of the neck as well as along both forearms as I was wearing short sleeve shirts.

The most significant and memorable field test I conducted was the very first testing of Beaches by Michael Vie! I unfortunately had to spend a whole day in the office at work, as opposed to being in the field, so I applied Beaches generously prior to walking into work at 9:00 AM!

The first few minutes in the office were pretty normal, or so I thought. Looked up from my computer and noticed that many of the young ladies sitting around my work area would look up, and glance over at me with “interesting” smiles on their faces, and then would look back at their computers to resume typing, but still smiling? Nice, but I wasn’t really impressed yet!

Then in walks another co-worker of mine, a rather attractive young lady, a Latina in her mid-twenties who sits at the desk directly in front of mine. I’ve seen her in passing outside of work, as we sometimes bump into each other as we go to the same gym, although she goes “much” more frequently then I! This morning she walks by my desk and then all of a sudden does a double take, stops and looks back at me! She smiles and walks back over to me sniffing! She still has not spoken to me yet! She walks over and stands right beside me as I’m seated at my desk, still sniffing away, and then leans over and starts smelling my neck! I’m sitting there amused as I feel her nose actually make contact with my neck and ear!

She then stands upright and looks at me with a big smile and says, “Damn! You smell REALLY GOOD!” I tried to respond to her but three other young ladies that sit around my work area all interrupted saying, “I know! I didn’t wanna say anything, but WHAT are you wearing!” I quickly made up a lie about how I was only wearing some new after shave I bought, and told them thank you for the compliments, but I was wearing nothing special! They seemed to buy my story.

All went back to work, still wearing little smiles and seeming a little distracted, but my co-workers were back to work now. Perhaps a half hour later in walks the office manager, late as usual of course! She is all business, especially in the morning, I knew her routine, should would briskly walk to her office looking and speaking to no one and then get on the phone to our corporate office. Well, not today!

The office manager as usual briskly walked by my desk looking at no one, her eyes fixed on her office door, I didn’t even bother to say “good morning,” I just kept typing. When she walked perhaps 15 feet past my desk she suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned around and looked back in my general direction and asked to everyone “Ok! Who smells so Good today! Who is that!” To which my fellow female co-workers all seemed to smile and pointed or nodded in my direction! I just laughed and the office manager then smiled at me and said, “You have good taste!” She then walked into her office and sat behind her desk still smiling???

I went through the rest of the day surrounded my smiling co-workers, generally in a good mood, nearly all of whom were trying to make subtle excuses to talk with me! It wasn’t so bad really. At the end of the work day though comes the whopper! The young lady that sits in front of me, the young Latina, she turns around and asks if I’m going to the gym tonight after work, I told her I might but was not sure, and I left it at that.

Of course out of curiosity I did go to the gym that night, and I re-applied Beaches by Michael Vie before walking in there too! And of course my pretty young co-worker was there wearing her practically see through white spandex! I said hello of course and went to the free weights to attempt to do the dumb bell bench press. After about 10 minutes my co-worker finds her way over to where I’m working out, sits on the bench next to me asks me if I would spot her while she works out her chest with the dumb bells as well. Of course, I agreed.

As I was spotting her I naturally had to be rather close to her, no problem, she commented that I still smelled good, even though I was already perspiring from my own work out. Well, this encounter didn’t last long, after 10 minutes of spotting her, and talking in between reps, she got in position to do her 4th set of reps, I took my position and spotted her for first 3 reps, then she just stopped! She is laying there on her back, moist from her work out, looking up into my eyes, and she gasps “Your cologne is working!” Of course, I played dumb and asked her what she meant? Suddenly, she drops the weights and sits up, she turns to me and out of breath says, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I gotta go! I can’t be around you right now…I might do something bad!”

Since my co-worker has a long term boyfriend at home who she lives with, I think I understood her point! And since I have a girlfriend whom I’m faithful to, I decided to make it easy and let her go! Just to mess around, I did ask her if I should be a gentlemen and walk her to her car though, she thought about that for a moment, smiled, and said “that probably wouldn’t be a good idea.” I told her I knew that, but was just testing, and then told her to get outta here! Playfully of course.

MX 135 For Women

MX135 for Women is now the second of the pheromones for women to be ranked favorably that is not sold through Love Scent, or Attract Romance, but is yet so brutally effective that it could not be ignored, therefore MX135 for Women deservedly has made it into our 11th spot among our ranking of Top 20 Pheromones for Women!

MX135 for Women is produced by Andriotics Direct and is one of the favorites among women there, and I can now see why! In the interest of being fair I will disclose my bias towards Andriotics Direct’s product line, I really don’t quite get these folks to be honest, most of their products that I’ve tested seem to be at best, watered down versions of other more effective quality pheromones for women, the overwhelming majority of which did little to nothing for me, but then I stumble across a quality product like MX135 for Women! It kind of makes me do a double take, since I was honestly expecting to test “another” dud from these folks, it was “not” to be in this case!

Andriotics Direct does have it’s gems, I guess I’m just a little upset about the other 90% of their product line for women, which I honestly came to believe was nothing more than scented water bottled in a pheromone perfume vial! Of course, I’m fairly sure this is not actually the case, but the thought did cross my mind during testing, as I said until I stumbled upon both Instant Sexiness B for Women, and MX135 for Women!

I’m done ranting, my little bias is disclosed. MX135 for Women is some good stuff! I was very pleasantly surprised during my testing of this pheromone perfume, and I have come to use this product, along with some other favorites on a regular basis personally.

So What is MX135 for Women?

This kind of a trick question, we really don’t know exactly what this stuff truly is, because Andriotics Direct, unlike some other pheromone perfume producers, do not go out of their way to disclose the true ingredients of their pheromone mixes, and certainly do not release much information on the ratios of human pheromone compounds contained in their products…As I said, perhaps this is “in part,” why I thought of many of their non performers as “nothing more than scented water bottled in a pheromone perfume vial!”

However, MX135 for Women certainly does contain pheromones, and the over all mixture proved itself to be “extremely” well balanced from what I could tell. My best guess, simply from observing the reactions of others, is that MX135 “must” contain a high concentration of Androstenol or Alpha Androstenol, coupled with a lower concentration of female Copulins. I of course could be wrong about that, but based upon folks reactions to me while wearing MX135, I think I’m probably pretty close!

Anyhow, MX135 for Women bills itself to be what I would call a mood elevating social lubricating pheromone perfume, with a rather moderate to hint of the “sexual attraction” vibe thrown in for good measure. And yes, it certainly did live up to it’s billing!

The closest comparison I could come to the experience of using MX135, judging strictly by the reactions I received from others, was as if I was wearing a cross between The Scent of Eros for Women or Primal Instinct for Women, but probably closer to Primal for Women as this pheromone perfume contains high levels of Androstenol with a hint of Copulins, what I suspect is included in MX135 for Women, except with a slightly lower Copulin concentration…As I said, I could be wrong? But since Andriotics does not reveal what they put in their stuff….Who knows???

What Reactions Can I Expect Wearing MX135 for Women?

MX135 is a relatively cheap, but very effective social pheromone perfume. Women who wear it have often reported becoming the “center of attention,” with subtle or not so subtle “sexual” over tones and attention from males. Typically, I found that the first response one tends to get is from the Androstenol, both Men and Women will almost immediately notice you, and very quickly become much more friendly, chatty, relaxed, and just in an over all better mood around you, many seemingly having an intense desire to converse with you! In addition, MX135 seems to have the same affect upon the wearers mood herself!

With prolonged exposure to MX135, I believe the Copulins then start to kick in, as those around the wearer (specifically males), tend to start showing more of a sexual interest in the wearer, it doesn’t take long, perhaps 15 minutes or so after walking over to you? No big deal really, since 15 minutes goes by real fast when you can’t get the guy to stop talking to you anyhow! This “sexual attraction” vibe seems to increase in males over time, so MX135 is very well suited for situations in which you have a captive audience, but not if you are trying to make a quick impression in say 5 minutes or so before parting company.

Field Test Results for MX135 for Women

In total I tested MX135 for Women a mere 9 times, usually I’ll do more field tests on a pheromone perfume but quite frankly it wasn’t necessary with this stuff, it was pretty darn obvious what this stuff was capable of doing right from my very first test, which is usually a very good sign when field testing pheromones for women in general.

The night of my first test was rather abnormal. My boyfriend asked me to come along to house party across town, as he was invited by one of his male friends and co-workers. The kicker was his friend is in his early twenties, but they still get along well, so he told me to prepare to hang out among the teenie boppers for at least 1 hour, just to be polite…I was thinking, you have got to be kidding me! Hang out with folks 10+ years younger than I was not really what I wanted to do on a Friday night, even for 1 hour!

Needless to say, I went with him against my better judgment, and decided to test this new MX135 stuff, fully expecting at that point for it to do nothing anyhow. I applied my normal non pheromone perfume, and 5 applications of MX135 for Women, why so much? Because, I really didn’t think the stuff would do much anyhow…I was wrong!

We arrived at this house party, actually being held in the “friends” backyard around 9:30pm, I was not looking forward to it and didn’t even get dressed up for the occasion, I was very casual.

We walked into the backyard, music blaring away, I find myself looking at a yard filled with folks in their late teens, and early twenties, and a lot of  women, strike that, pretty “girls” dressed like “hoochie mamas,” is that even the correct term these days? I immediately prepared myself to pretty much be ignored, as my boyfriend joined his male friend to go off and talk “man talk” and get a drink…Ahhhhh!

It wasn’t so bad as I quickly was approached by a young gal who I had worked with at my last job, apparently she now worked at my boyfriend’s company as well, so we got to talking and got caught up on each others lives. Before long three other ladies joined us in our conversation, I did not know them though, and we were all cheerfully conversing about what else, Men! This was not so bad, went on for about 10 minutes, and then a procession of Men started to show up at our little gathering!

I soon found myself literally at the center of attention, carrying on a conversation with 4 ladies and about 6 guys, and very oddly four of these six guys were entirely focused on their conversations with me! They just seemed so jovial, and so interested in everything I had to say, no matter how stupid quite frankly…This continued for a good half hour!

Don’t get me wrong I’m not lacking in self confidence or anything like that, but when four very attractive young men in their early to mid twenties are fixating on “me” at a party such as this, and almost completely ignoring the four scantily clad young ladies with their chests practically hanging out standing next to me, I know this is not normal male behavior? Not for me at least, normally.

But nonetheless it continued! We were all laughing and joking amongst ourselves, and each of these guys were almost competing for, and trying to dominate the conversation with me, about me…It was actually amusing after awhile. I actually dismissed this encounter as I assume perhaps they were just being nice, nope! Within about 45 minutes of talking, two of them requested my cell phone number, one tried to give me his cell phone number, and 1 kept getting rather obnoxious, touchy feely and wanted to dance, badly!

As promised, after 1 hour my boyfriend shows up smiling at our little, now turned big gathering, and says “Are you ready to go Honey!?!?” He must of saw the looks on some these young guys faces, because his smile turned into a frown and he asked if was “interrupting anything?” I laughed, and told him he wasn’t interrupting anything, I was just enjoying the attention!

Although I was wearing high doses of MX135 for Women on this occasion, I would subsequently learn that this stuff still performs well with smaller applications, especially if you’re at work or in a confined area. Just make sure you’re actually in the mood to be talkative before you use this stuff, you won’t have much of a choice!

Icebreaker Pheromone Cologne

Icebreaker Pheromone Cologne…Folks, I really don’t know how to be politically correct in this review of the so called Icebreaker Pheromone Cologne? Personally, I thought the days of peddling snake oil on the net were over, until I field tested this lovely Icebreaker Pheromone Cologne!

Please excuse my tone, but as I sit here smiling, finding myself at a loss of words, feeling rather used that I even spent money on this pheromone cologne, I’m trying to figure out how to articulate the fact that I have no real clue what this stuff does, as it clearly did nothing for me, and I used this stuff on and off for months!

I will say this, I have vowed to try to keep this Icebreaker Pheromone Cologne review short and sweet, as I personally do not believe this pheromone cologne really deserves much mention, nor wasted space on my site for that matter! That being said, out of all the pheromone colognes that I have purchased, and that list is rapidly growing, Icebreaker is the first bottle of pheromone cologne that I straight threw away as opposed to allowing it to take up space sitting beside numerous other pheromone colognes, some good, others not so good…No room for Icebreaker on my shelf, I was more disappointed by this stuff than I was with Pherlure, at least Pherlure smells good!

After field testing Icebreaker for at work, at home, out at social functions among friends and strangers, and after very careful consideration I had to come to the conclusion that this stuff is over hyped Garbage! I apologize, I’m usually much more politically correct than this, but I might as well not sugar coat it. I know when a pheromone cologne works at this point, and I certainly know when one does not, this stuff does not…No clue what it does!

All I can say at this point, is for the numerous marketers out there who are aggressively pimping this stuff to folks that don’t know any better, along with Pherlure I’m quite sure, SHAME!

Just to make sure I was not losing my mind after field testing Icebreaker Pheromone Cologne, “I” even looked around some forums to find mention if Icebreaker by some seasoned and knowledgeable pheromone enthusiasts who use a lot of products and pretty much know their stuff, what did I read?

“About 100% of the advertising you see, especially on the internet, youtube, various websites, etc. is fraud, even when it includes legitimate products. Especially the ones that compare one product to another (and that goes a thousand fold if they are pushing Pherlure….an outright scam)…..pushing Icebreaker (I believe the guy who makes that stuff is still in prison, lol). That product is BS. The other products listed are of poor quality.”

Well that was refreshing to read, at least I started to think to was not just me!

“Read their website carefully… the things they compare themselves with, like pherlure and athena are widely recognized as garbage….They also claim to be scientists but are still claiming the VNO is the pheromone receptor. That is pretty well discredited by real science. Their own ratings mean absolutely nothing and I haven’t seen a single verified and independent opinion of their products, only their own marketing hype.”

When I read this it started to make more sense, as those Icebreaker folks were trying to persuade people to buy their product by “claiming the VNO is the pheromone receptor..”,  which I know,  ” is pretty well discredited by real science.” When this claim is usually made these days, it’s usually by marketers pimping a product they know very little if anything about, not a good sign, no?

And then the clincher, when I read a well respected and knowledgeable pheromone enthusiast write;

OK, for anyone that’s interested in more information on the Icebreaker product, their claim that it contains Oxytocin had me curious enough to send out a request for information, and here’s what their marketing department had to say about dosage and content levels:

Quote:

Dear XXXXX,

Thank you for your request.

As you correctly guessed, we don’t publish the exact formula. If we did, our competitors could copy it.
However we do publish the compound names that most companies will not.
What I can tell you that the total weight of all pheromone compounds is 15mg per 30ml bottle.
There is about 90 sprays per bottle. That means about 0.17mg per a spray.
The exact weight does not really matter. What does matter is how effective the formula is.

The only way to find out if that will work for you is to try it.

Again, thank you for your interest let me know if you have any other questions.

Enough said? “The only way to find out if that will work for you is to try it…” WTF!  Ya, okay, been there done that, can I have my cash back now?

The only good thing I can add is that Icebreaker’s advertising is pretty good! And they do have a decent referral program for marketers, however,  I can’t bring myself to recommend this stuff  for a commission, I would just plain feel dirty afterwords and would need a long shower.

Since I’m in so foul a mood after wasting my time with Icebreaker Pheromone Cologne, please excuse me if  I pretty much let these opinions and experiences speak for themselves, I don’t want to get to crazy with this post, just not worth it!

Guys, if you feel compelled to try out Icebreaker Pheromone Cologne, be my guest, good luck to you!
