Do Pheromones Work? A Candid Pheromone Review

The Marilyn Miglin Pheromone

 The Marilyn Miglin Pheromone is the next topic I feel compelled to cover. Why? Because the Marilyn Miglin Pheromone seems to be source of confusion among novice and some advanced pheromone enthusiasts!

To my surprise many folks have actually ordered the Marilyn Miglin Pheromone, or other products from the Marilyn Miglin product line believing that they are actually getting a genuine pheromone product! They are obviously disappointed by the affects after using the product, as they are unable to notice the classic attraction affects of a sound pheromone cologne or perfume?

Let me be clear in my attempt to clear up this mis-perception, the Marilyn Miglin Pheromone does NOT CONTAIN ANY HUMAN PHEROMONES! That’s correct, the Marilyn Miglin Pheromone is not a REAL pheromone cologne or perfume! 

So why is The Marilyn Miglin Pheromone have the word “pheromone” in the name? Folks, it’s called branding and marketing, that’s all. The fact of the matter is that most folks really don’t know or understand yet what a real pheromone cologne or perfume does, or what real pheromone products are all about, but they have probably heard some of the buzz about them. Therefore, Marilyn Miglin has capitalized on this buzz, and incorporated the word “pheromone” into their product line to attract more attention, not because they actually have included actual pheromones into their product line. Make sense?

To some it up, my suspicion is echoed by a long time advanced pheromone enthusiast on a popular pheromone cologne forum, in net effect he informed;

“Sorry to disappoint, but you’re no more likely to get a pheromone effect from Miglin’s products than you are to get high on Yves Saint Laurent’s “Opium” line of fragrances… In both cases these are merely the NAMES of the products, where the products themselves DON’T happen to contain any of their namesakes…Ain’t THAT some shit!?…The only way to get any phero effect from that stuff is to keep rubbing it in ’til you work up a sweat! …I was given a bar of MM’s “Pheromone” soap and it smelled pretty good, but there ain’t squat for pheros in there.”

“For example,PHEROMONE FOR MEN, the most powerful attractant known, is a balanced blend of rare and expensive essences derived from herbs, wild grasses, exotic bark, seeds and wine resins.”

Pherlure

Pherlure. Is Pherlure for real, or is Pherlure a Scam? In my effort to identify, purchase, field test, and review the most effective quality pheromones for men, I have been repeatedly distracted via email, folks have been curious about other pheromone products, including the ever popular Pherlure.

It may be long over do, my apologies, but I will now start what I call the “Dubious Pheromones” category, in which I will try to shed some light on which pheromone products seem to fall into the underperforming category….I’m being politically correct here folks.

Pherlure? What is Pherlure? Pherlure is a quite popular pheromone cologne for men, which actually does smell very nice! As a matter of fact, when I tested the one bottle I ever purchased, I did get some compliments on Pherlure’s smell! 

However, other than receiving these compliments, what did Pherlure do for me? Well, in a word, nothing! Pherlure is fairly tight lipped about the ingredients supposedly contained within their pheromone cologne, but the the only affect I have noticed on one occasion, and after using a particularly high dosage of it, was “aggression.” 

Anyone familiar with real pheromone colognes is well aware that primarily “aggression” is caused by high levels of the human pheromone known as Androstenone, therefore it is safe to assume Pherlure does in fact contain some level of Androstenone.

What is Androstenone?

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

And more importantly, what affects are caused by high or inappropriate levels of Androstenone?

* 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.

Therefore, I’m quite sure that Pherlure does in fact contain some amount of Androstenone, probably not correctly dosed or correctly mixed with whatever else is put in the stuff, but I’m sure that the Androstenone is in fact in there.

The Field Test Results for Pherlure

I ended up field testing Pherlure by itself as a stand alone pheromone cologne for men only 14 times. I tried testing Pherlure in varying doses, one application, two, three, four, then five applications! As I previously mentioned, Pherlure does smell quite good to me and many other folks.

However, after field testing Pherlure, in the work place, in social environments, among strangers, co-workers, and even my girlfriend, after about two weeks of trying to get the stuff to do something, anything, I pretty much gave up!

In two weeks of testing the only affect I got to personally experience, when I wore a high dose of the stuff, was me being put in a rather pissy mood, not a real bad mood, but just a very negative mood. This is not normal for me. 

As for Pherlure’s affects upon others? I have no clue! Other than receiving a couple of compliments as to Pherlure’s smell, I never received what an experienced pheromone user would be able to identify as a “hit,” nor any obvious sign of sexual interest from the opposite sex, nor even from the same sex!! Nothing!

Needless to say, I was not impressed. I have no need to pay for this to be ignored! 

So why is Pherlure so popular?

In my opinion, because Pherlure’s marketing, branding, and advertising of this product is simply…AWESOME! Lets face facts, Pherlure has clearly done a fantastic job marketing this pheromone cologne! I actually will take my hat off to them for this accomplishment! 

But lets face facts once more, if Pherlure was really great stuff, and actually did what it claimed, would Pherlure need all the big marketing? I would think word of mouth would continue to drive sales forever! Unless, for some odd reason, most folks only seem to order the stuff once? 

I wonder why that might be???

In the words of some experienced pheromone enthusiasts from some well known forums;

“This is funny, Pherlure made me look for and try the real thing. I found Pherlure most like just a cologne, a “Fair” one. They earned my because I order 3 bottles, they give you 30 days since the order day to claim the money back warranty, belive me, if you discount the shipping times, non working days, etc. they are giving you very few days to try it, so the warranty is almost a Rip-Off in my opinion. And I have 2 new bottles and another one almost full sitting there.”

And another,

“As many of you guys i also ordered Pherlure, and well.. I got so disapointed I almost gave up. Til’ i found this place =)”

And yet again,

“Before I came accross this site I unfortunately bought some phero’s or more like cheap cologne, from a placed called pherlure. This place is a total scam and doesn’t do anything close to what it claims to do. So any new people who might be readying this… STAY AWAY FROM PHERLURE. Save yourself the time and money. Anyways, that’s how I came across this site. After typing inpherlure scam…”

Anyhow, needless to say the scroll listing the names of dis-satified Pherlure users is, VERY LONG! The latest public service announcement to pop up blasting Pherlure, documenting Pherlure’s supposed use of fake documentation is published online here - http://www.di-dehydroepiandrosterone.info/

I will not straight come out and call Pherlure a total scam. Who knows? It did nothing for me though, I will let my intelligent readers come to their own conclusions. Good luck, and be careful!

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!
