Do Pheromones Work? A Candid Pheromone Review

Pheromax for Men

Pheromax for Men is a German designed pheromone cologne which has been long over looked in North America. Among those familiar with the Pheromax brand, it has long carried much respect and has become synonymous with “quality.”Pheromax for Men is rather potent, well balanced, and provides a quality pheromone experience. Although I don’t particularly like maintaining my German made car, I have to hand it to them in the design and production of quality Pheromone products.

As a quick side note, Pheromax also is the producer of the long standing, tried and tested pheromone perfume, known obviously as Pheromax for Women! I have seen and experienced the women’s product at work, and it works with brutal efficiency, but this field testing phase was my first experience with Pheromax for Men, once again they were right on the money.

To my knowledge Pheromax for Men is not a heavily marketed pheromone cologne, which I see as a good sign, as in many cases, but not all, a pheromone cologne that requires little marketing simply performs “very well,” and therefore does not need the help of various marketing gurus lurking out there, so my initial impression of Pheromax for Men was good on that note.

As I briefly examined the primary ingredients contained in Pheromax for Men, I was pleased to see the inclusion of two old familiar friends, Androstenone and Androstenol. These two pheromone compounds are well known, identified, and their capabilities are rather well known these days, their inclusion as primary ingredients can also tell a prospective wearer basically what to expect when using the pheromone cologne upfront, which I like.

For those who are not familiar with these rather standard pheromone compounds, in short,

Androstenone is known to induce the following;

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

Pheromax for Men is known to contain at least 3 Mgs of the pheromone compound Androstenone, for comparison purposes this is about half the quantity of Androstenone contained in my long time favorite, Alpha 7 Scented, which contains 6 Mgs of Androstenone, but still out doses another oldie but goodie Alter Ego for Men, which only contains 2 Mgs of Androstenone.

So what does this mean? In short, Pheromax has apparently included enough Androstenone to generate what I refer to as the whole “sexual attraction” vibe, but has pulled back a little bit so the wearer will not be in much real danger of experiencing any sort of Androstenone Over Dose…This is a good thing!

The next major ingredient included in Pheromax for Men is that of Androstenol, whose affects are widely known at this time;

“Androstenol is a human pheromone which pheromone enthusiasts have come to refer to as a social pheromone. The effects of being exposed to Androstenol signal the following; an sense of youth and vigor, friendliness, comfort, relaxation, and chattiness. In essence, in this case, a women being exposed to Androstenal would be more likely to become friendly and relaxed, and would feel more at ease to engage in prolonged conversation during the period of exposure, ie.,. a social pheromone. Which appeared to be great for “breaking the ice,” and freely getting conversations going, especially with strangers.”

Pheromax for Men uses approximately 2 Mgs of Androstenol within it’s effective mixture. Again, for comparison purposes only, this puts Pheromax for Men a tad ahead of something like Alter Ego for Men which contains 1.5 Mgs of Androstenol, but well behind the Cadillac of Icebreaker pheromones for men, The Scent of Eros for Men, which contains 4 Mgs of Androstenol!

Even without knowing what other proprietary blends are used in Pheromax for Men, the 3 Mgs/Androstenone and 2 Mgs/Androstenol combo is pretty telling in and of itself.  I fully expected to experience a pheromone cologne capable of giving me “sexual attention,” and one that would aid me in breaking the ice and keeping conversation flowing rather nicely, while observing the slow increase in sexual attraction that came along with prolonged exposure….Was I right? Lets see.

Field Test Results for Pheromax for Men

In all I conducted 14 field tests with Pheromax for Men, making sure that I tried a variety of dosage levels (usually between 2 and 5 at the maximum), in both social and professional settings to test it’s effects and capabilities.  Quick aside, you will want to use Pheromax for Men with a cover scent folks, it’s a necessity, personally I used Eternity for Men, but that’s just me, any suitable cover scent will do, including even another scented pheromone cologne.

The most telling and significant field test I conducted with Pheromax for Men was actually my 2nd field test with this stuff. I had applied one application behind each ear and one to my throat area, so three applications in total. After waiting for the Pheromax to dry a little, about 2-3 minutes or so, and then I applied my cover scent right on top of the Pheromax for Men application dry spots behind each ear also.

I then departed home to meet up with a co-worker, and two of her girlfriends, as we agreed to meet at a nice restaurant for some drinks and conversation, this was not a date of any kind, but since two girls who I did not know were accompanying my co-worker, I thought it would be a good time to test Pheromax again, not to mention my co-worker mentioned that her two tag along girlfriends were rather shy, so we would have plenty of time to discuss things among ourselves anyhow.

About ten minutes later I find myself at the establishment and these three young ladies are waiting outside in front. We make our greetings and head inside to grab a small table over in the bar area, I’m now flanked by two new girls I had just met and my co-worker is  sitting across from me at this small table.

I quickly tried making some small talk with each of the two new young ladies sitting to each side of me, they were pleasant enough but not to talkative at all, so I started talking with my co-worker about what else, work!

Well, this lasted for only about 3-4 minutes, and then both of the two shy tag along girls seemed to slowly come alive directed at me of course and not their girlfriend. Within about five minutes, we still didn’t have our drinks yet, I had two attractive young ladies sitting at either side of me, looking at me attentively as if I was speaking words of wisdom or something, which I was most certainly not.

It was a little odd at first,  these two girls went from being quiet and shy, to being unable to break eye contact with me, and increasingly chatting away more and more with me within a span of about 5-6 minutes, tops! I’m thinking this is pretty good for any pheromone cologne at this point. So of course I started actively chatting back with both of them, shifting my full attention, and eye contact to one, and then back to the other, almost getting wip lash in the process do to the awkward seating arrangement.

Needless to say, after the drinks and appetizers arrived the situation only intensified, however I noticed my co-worker was getting a tad bit annoyed, I’m guessing because her two friends had their full attention on conversation with me and she was now sitting there like a 3rd, or in this case a 4th wheel. I’m pretty darn sure that my co-workers two friends did not notice her displeasure ironically, as they were so fixated on conversation with me! And my conversation is really not that interesting folks, I’ll even admit that!

This scene went on for a good half hour, I will confess I was starting to enjoy it a little, but I was by no means flirting with either young lady, as I don’t generally do so when I’m testing a pheromone cologne so I can get some accurate behavioral indicators generated only by the pheromone cologne in question.

Well, right around the half hour mark, actually about 27 minutes to be exact, the young lady sitting to my left who was also the most vocal now finally decided to acknowledge the fact that her drink had been sitting on the table for awhile now, and need to sample it, most likely do to a dry throat from talking so much. So I turn and respond to an onslaught of chatty questions from the young lady on my right, that didn’t work well as the other gal who while still taking a sip of her drink, reaches under the table and grabs my inner thigh, a little bit high up too, in her effort to have me return my attention to her and our previously on going conversation!

No problem, I continue the conversation with the girl on my left, except her hand on my thigh is not moving, it’s now caressing as she is giving me full and intense eye contact as we start chatting away again!

As far as I was concerned, field test over! Three minutes or so to induce chattiness and followed by overt sexual contact in under thirty minutes? All from a shy young lady who was barely speaking to me until she sat next to me, and my Pheromax aura close enough to breath in I’m sure a very healthy dose! The stuff did it’s job, because it sure wasn’t  my boring conversation or complete lack of flirting, of that I’m sure.

Special Observations Regarding Pheromax for Men:

Pheromax for Men is well balanced and can be used in both social and professional settings. It is not over bearing to the degree that it will tend to cause any major problems in the work place, nor did I observe any negative reactions from Males worth mention.

However, Pheromax for Men is most definitely a combo that strives to be both a “social lubricator,” as well as a moderate strength “sexual attractant,” and therefore the wearer should be well aware of the type of “vibe” they will be sending to others “unconsciously.”

Although I found Pheromax’s performance to be both consistent and reliable, it is not much like either Alpha-7 or A314, I didn’t really notice that nice “James Bond” effect to be perceived by others as much as I would have hoped, as Pheromax seemed to be more “sexual” as opposed to “smooth” in the vibe it sends to others.

Overall, Pheromax for Men is a very fine pheromone cologne, and good for daily use. I’m quite sure it’s base affects would be easily enhanced if used in conjunction with other pheromone colognes as well, such as Alpha 7, A314, or NPA for Men to name but a few.

Alpha-7 Unscented for Women

Alpha-7 Unscented produced by KZI has proven it’s effectiveness once again. Produced by the same people who designed the brutally effective pheromone cologne, Alpha-7 Scented, a pheromone best suited for men of course, also has made available an unscented version which we have now learned first hand works extremely well for a women!

The unscented version of KZI’s Alpha-7 is a near exact duplicate of the male version, containing 6 Mgs of Androstenone buffered with 1 Mg of Androsterone, with undisclosed pheromone compounds, part of KZI’s proprietary blend also mixed in for good measure.

For those who are not familiar with these well known and well understood pheromone compounds I will quickly rehash. The human pheromone compound Androstenone can be defined as follows;

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

Although the inclusion of 6 Mgs of Androstenone within  Alpha-7 Unscented is not common place in many pheromones for use by women, it is known that its use does benefit a female wearer in many of the same ways in which it works to benefit the male wearer.

The secondary and complementary component  is that of Androsterone.  Androsterone, is a human pheromone compound known to induce the following;

“Androsterone is a human pheromone that seems to have the effect of creating an aura of masculinity about the wearer, and signalling an impression of protection, security, and reliability… “

The 1 Mg of Androsterone, which also appears to act in part as a buffer to the traditionally negative affects of Androstenone, showed itself to be just as potent when used by a women, but in a slightly different sort of way…

How Does Alpha-7 Unscented Enhance A Female Wearer?

As I previously mentioned, the formula for Alpha-7 Unscented for Women is a duplication of the formula for men, except without the nice, but slightly musky and clearly male fragrance added to it. Since Alpha-7 Unscented  is not “not scented” it clearly must be used with a good cover scent, which is good for most women as one can continue simply using ones favorite perfume, or one can add another scented pheromone perfume to use as a cover scent, it really matters not.

To answer the burning question, so how does this formula effect women? I can now say this, pretty much in the same way that Alpha-7 Scented (the male version), effects women!

If I seem a little shocked by this, it’s because I am, or rather, I was. Alpha-7 Scented is the favorite pheromone cologne used by my boyfriend and has been for over a year now, and he has used a lot of different pheromone colognes to date! So, I never really thought that the Unscented version of essentially the same stuff would do justice when used by a female, I was wrong!

I wont go on here at length about all the effects of Alpha-7 Unscented, as the results were very similar to the male versions results which can be read here, at Alpha-7 Scented: Alpha-7 Scented Reviewed.

However, I will say this, the unscented version for women seems best suited for women who are looking to assert themselves, as well as to add strong a “sexual attraction” element or unconscious vibe into the mix to boot!

What this stuff seems to do is create a vibe around the women which causes others to view her as a quintessential Alpha-Female if you will.  People just seemed to interact with me, especially at the work place, as if I was a very “strong women,” giving me a lot more respect, treating me as if I had much higher position and stature, and even frequently, politely, and happily deferring to me in various matters when there was a difference of opinion…That was nice for a change!

However, that is not all that I was able to observe, there is also a very powerful “sexual attraction” element included in Alpha-7 Unscented, and it cannot be over looked. Although, I found that most males, and females for that matter, where giving me a lot more respect, with even my boss behaving to a degree as if I was “his” boss, most males around me for any length of time definitely seemed to be “interested” in more than talking work, if you know what I mean? There was definitely a strong element of “sexual tension/attraction” in the air when dealing with males at work.

The odd thing about Androstenone, especially as contained in this mix and used by a women, is that even though the males around me where all much nicer and much more respectful of me, and clearly were looking at me as if they were very attracted sexually, they usually do not act upon it,  they seemed to respect me so much that the restrained themselves from doing anything blatantly inappropriate, which was kind of cute!

My boyfriends theory on that behavior had to do with the slight “intimidation” factor others can experience when exposed to higher levels of Androstenone. But the good news is this, if you are not “taken,” that intimidation factor completely disappears if you put the affected person at ease, and simply ask them out, make the first move, or simply flirt…I think you get the picture.

The wearer of Alpha-7 Unscented does need to know all this however, because if you do not look approachable, others around you may simply feel they are “unworthy” to even approach you, see “intimidation factor.” However, if you are brave enough to clearly let a certain guy know you are interested, stand back, you will quickly see the “sexual frustration/attraction” element of Alpha-7 Unscented at work once you’ve given Mr. Gentleman the green light!

Field Test Results for Alpha-7 Unscented

As I said, it would be completely redundant to go through all this, for a better idea of what to expect just read the review over at Alpha-7 Scented: Alpha-7 Scented Reviewed.

I did field test Alpha-7 Unscented a total of 9 times though, but only at work. The stuff works well, lasts about a good 4-5 hours per application, and one only needs 2 to a maximum of 3 dabs per application. The results were very consistent each day, it’s very predictable stuff.

I was the highly respected Queen Bee of the office for a week or so, with most of my male co-workers silently, but respectfully lusting after me, Alpha-7 was worth field testing just to see that scene, amusing.

Alpha-7 Unscented

Human Pheromone Effectiveness Ranking:  #12

Effectiveness Ratio:  8 out of 9 men were observed to clearly respond

Recommended Use :  Higher Value/Respect from both Sexes/ Strong Sexual Attractant

Most Effective Upon:  All Men /All Ages – Enhanced “initial” Response from 30+

Pherlure Pheromone Cologne

Pherlure. What more can I say? After publishing my initial field test results on the Pherlure Pheromone Cologne, the results of which are published under Pherlure: Is Pherlure Legit or A Scam? I quickly found myself at the receiving end of a variety of nasty emails, primarily from online marketers who have apparently made a pretty penny from pimping this Pherlure stuff to unsuspecting consumers.

I have pretty thick skin folks, and I do not really mind receiving nasty emails at all, I find it rather amusing actually in many cases, but this time I did allow for the simple “possibility” that I was somehow wrong, or off base in the publishing of my first review concerning Pherlure. Since the purpose of this little blog is to try to put out real and reliable information derived from actual field testing on various pheromone products I felt it was appropriate in this particular case to re-evaluate the Pherlure Pheromone Cologne.

I will not exaggerate this simple fact folks, I usually do not re-test pheromone colognes at all, as I only publish my evaluations after I’m fairly convinced that I have a handle on what any pheromone cologne does, or does not do.

That being said, I opted to re-evaluate Pherlure “only” because apparently so many folks out there are making money from selling or marketing the stuff, and because some of those folks were so hostile towards my last review of Pherlure, so before I dig in on the Pherlure issue, I decided for my own piece of mind I should re-test the stuff and be sure I was in fact correct…Make sense?

Before I go into the my second round of field test results, if you have not read my controversial first Pherlure Review, it can once again be found at; Pherlure: Is Pherlure Legit or A Scam?

Field Test Method for the Pherlure Pheromone Cologne

In total I decided to 12 additional field tests with Pherlure used as my standalone sole pheromone cologne product. Specifically, I opted to conduct 4 field tests primarily among folks a work (professional setting), followed by 4 more field tests in social settings (outside of work – but among friends or acquaintances), and then capped off with the final 4 field tests among complete strangers (ie.,.at a mall, store, club, and bar). In short, I wanted to expose myself to folks that know me well, know me a little, and to those who don’t know me at all so as I could observe how Pherlure would or would not influence others behavior towards me.

As a final note about my field testing methodology, as I’ve done with every other pheromone cologne that I have field tested, I use a variety of application levels as well. In other words, I usually start with 2 applications, or sprays – usually to the neck – and then work my way up to higher levels, 2,4, then 5 or 6 applications in order to determine what dosage level will actually work, or not work for me.

Field Test for the Pherlure Pheromone Cologne – Professional Setting

My first (2nd set of field tests) I conducted in the work place, these are some of the easiest tests to conduct actually, I started with low levels of Pherlure applied and then as usual worked my way up to higher level applications.

So what occurred after 4 days of using Pherlure in the office, among many of the same folks who I observed “did” in fact respond to other pheromone colognes I have tested in the past, well, not much to report really…Once again! The only notable “change” in co-worker behavior I can report is that over those four days three young ladies briefly commented that my cologne “smelled nice.” The comments were more of an after thought, followed by them quickly walking away to their work stations and not giving me a second look for the rest of the day? I’m actually not used to being ignored like that these days, but it was a Pherlure day so I documented those reactions.

Field Test for the Pherlure Pheromone Cologne – Social Settings

My second round of testing with Pherlure in various social settings occurred over two different weekends, primarily among friends, and friends of friends, in which we were out relaxing on both Friday and Saturday nights.

Out of the 4 separate nights I tested Pherlure socially, I received only two documentable reactions, that was it, two! The first response worthy of being documented, or attributable to Pherlure, was a comment from a young lady I was sitting next to in a bar/restaurant with my other friends. She looked over at me and smiled in a shy sort of way, and eventually apologized and asked me softly if I just left the gym before going out with everyone, as she thought I kind of needed a “shower.”

Needless to say, I did not need a shower, but I was testing higher dosage levels of Pherlure that night, so I’m guessing she was detecting high levels of Androstenone contained in Pherlure, which can in high levels be perceived as “body odor.” This was a documentable reaction to Pherlure, just not a positive one.

The second Pherlure generated reaction I was able to document while field testing in social settings was on the following weekend, and last weekend of my testing. I was out at a dance club, filled with the early to mid twenty something crowd that usually frequent these sort of establishments. I quickly got tired of dancing, rather badly, if I may say so myself and went to the bar to order a mixed drink.

While I was standing at the bar, waiting for a truly untalented bar tender to prepare my over priced drink, a cute young lady squeezed in next to me started yelling to get the bar tenders attention. After a few seconds of this, and her rather annoyingly brushing up against me, she stops yelling and looks up at me, smiles, and yells, “What are YOU wearing!?!? “ Before I could answer, she stands fully up and puts her face to my neck smelling me! She then comments, “Smells good…I like it!” I smile back at her and say, “Thanks…” Before I could say anymore, she’s gone! She ran off to chase down a roving waiter serving drinks…I was done, enough of this!

Field Test for the Pherlure Pheromone Cologne – Strangers

The last segment of my re-field testing of Pherlure was to be among complete strangers only. So I decided to do exactly what I’ve done with past pheromone colognes to test their use in this setting. Simply, go to the mall, grocery store, or even laundry mat!

Simply put, I put on a moderate level of every pheromone cologne I field test, go out in public into one of these settings and simply stand next to pleasing looking female as I examine some product I’m looking to buy, and observe whether the young lady even notices whether I exist, or not?

I went out to my normal social/public settings over the course of 4 days, using 2, then 3, then 4, then 5 applications of Pherlure, I did not go to 6, as I was wearing 6 applications the last time a young lady told me I smelled like “body odor!”

So how did I make it with Pherlure this time? In a word or two, pretty badly!

After using my usual tactic, the old stand next to pretty girl shopping at the mall trick, and see if she notices me as the pheromone cloud sets in, I got exactly 1, yes, 1 reaction from a complete stranger. She looked over at me, give a quick smile, and walked away to another aisle. Yup, that’s all I have to report.

Is it just me? At this point, after I concluded my 2nd round of field tests on good ole Pherlure, I really don’t think it’s “just” me folks! Especially, after seeing my old Mall field test tactic utterly fail! I have field tested quite a few pheromone colognes, some are better than others.

For instance, while conducting this same field test, in the Mall, simply standing next to strangers while using Alpha 7 Scented, NPA for Men, and even The Scent of Eros for Men for instance, the results were completely different!

I was expecting about 30 seconds to a minute to go by, to have the young lady I was standing close to keep looking over at me, for me to at the most quickly smile back and then we would engage in conversation, flirting, or even eventually have a phone number offered! Those are the reactions I did get with other quality pheromone colognes, and still do get to this day….But not with Pherlure huh? No….It’s not me!

To those marketers who are making a pretty penny pimping Pherlure, you know who you are, to each their own, no more emails PLEASE! I will not endorse Pherlure, nor will I buy another bottle, nor will I even continue to use up the bottle I currently own! It is, what it is.
