Q: How long will the pheromones last on my skin?
A: The short answer is about 6 hours. The long answer is, as usual, somewhat more complicated You may find that the optimum wearing time is much less than 6 hours. Pheromones work better in closed air conditioned area.
In general, most products will be WORKING for a maximum of 6-8 hours, but:
some pheromones will be absorbed into your skin and stay there for longer (buildup)
smaller than effective amounts of pheromones will be present on your skin after 8 hours
bacterial action will cause some of the pheromones to be changed into other compounds
The optimum working time for the products will be around 4 hours.
Q: Does anything happen to pheromones when they are on my skin? Do bacteria change them into anything else?
A: Yes, but you don't necessarily have to do anything about it. One thing that happens is that some pheromones get absorbed into you skin, which may or may not be a bad thing Another thing that happens is that bacteria begin to metabolize the pheromones. This means that they will change some of the pheromones on your skin into to something else, i.e. performing a bacterial conversion. Conversions are one of the main reasons for pheromones lasting only a limited time on your skin, and they can also lead to certain applications turning quite stinky. -nol is considered to be most at risk from being converted. Bacterial conversions are actually what makes sweat smell, so you can imagine what applying a product with lots of -nol in a bacteria rich environment must smell like.
The answer is quite simple; if you want to prevent conversions (you might not want to all of the time, but that's a separate issue) don't apply pheromones to areas rich in bacteria. These areas are usually the hairier areas, which is where your body naturally releases pheromonal compounds. Don't let this completely put you off putting pheromones in your pits or crotch area, you just have to be a bit more careful.
Q: What are the best application points?
A: Generally, anywhere that creates a good rate of dispersal is considered good. These also happen to be where you would normally apply cologne. Your neck and wrists are good, and you should also think about places where your target's nose might end up, if you see what I mean.
Q: How do these pheromones work with my naturally produced pheromones?
A: Your natural pheromones exist at levels many times lower than the quantities you will regularly be applying with your
products. However, if your natural pheromone output is very high (like when you are young), you may find it easier to OverDose.
Q: How does a person know that you are the one wearing the pheromones?
A: This is the same as asking "how does everyone know it's me wearing the great cologne". Hopefully this will shed some light (e.g. the concentration will increase as a person gets closer to the source), but there is an extra twist that is an advantage pheromones have over regular smells - as long as you know how to take advantage of it. Because pheromones are associated with various things, alphaness and approachability are two examples, acting the part the pheromones you are wearing portray you as is very important. If you don't, you might find that the guy near you acting like an alpha male will get all of the hits.
Q: Why can't I smell the typical pheromone smell in one product when I can in another?
A: Not all pheromones smell the same. Androstenone is typically the one associated with the urinous/BO smell. So, because not all products contain androstenone, or even the same concentration of androstenone, different products will have different "pheromone smells".
The fragrance of a product will also help to cover up the pheromone smell.
