The Long Awaited Review Of Avant Garde by S1CK x Liquid Alchemy Labs Is Finally Here…
After over a year on the market, this review has been long overdue, and I’ll cut straight to the chase: it’s every bit as exceptional as you’ve come to expect from S1CK’s lineup.
However, there are some very important key differences which we’ll explore, that make it vastly unique from current offerings.
Will it seize the crown? Can it beat established formulas like Casanova, Alpha Q, or True Love?
Here’s my frustrating & boring answer:
It depends… these are luxury pheromone products – precision-crafted tools of social influence, each designed with surgical intent.
Every formula carves through interactions differently, each specialized to dominate in its own distinct scenario. Alpha Q might just be unbeatable at ruling the nightlife scene, where status is currency. True Love, on the other hand, quietly excels at creating genuine, lasting emotional bonds.
Where does Avant Garde rank in the mix?
What are the hidden tools embedded within?
Let’s dive in…
There Is No Path… The Path Is Made By Walking
In art, the term ‘Avant Garde’ describes the bold, the daring, the creators who venture into uncharted territory without a map… often misunderstood, but always mysteriously intriguing.
Ironically, that’s exactly how I’d describe my journey with Avant Garde.
This wasn’t an “easy” product to test.
Usually, I can pinpoint precisely how a pheromone formula affects social interactions within days. But Avant Garde initially left me guessing…
Some days, nothing noticeable seemed to happen. Other days, I felt strangely “off” – fumbling over words, thoughts scattering mid-sentence, or experiencing random spikes of unexplained nervousness (classic overdose symptoms, for those in the know).
For weeks, Avant Garde remained an enigma.
Clearly, there was a potent pheromone blend at play, but I couldn’t grasp exactly how or why it worked… there was something powerful, subtle, almost cryptic in its effects. But I just couldn’t quite pinpoint it.
Why was it so unpredictable? Why did it feel volatile one day, effortless the next?
I had a puzzle on my hands, and it wouldn’t let me rest.
Now, after months of rigorous testing and validating my theories, I’m ready to pull back the curtain and reveal the results…
Cracking the Avant Garde Code: What’s Really Happening Here?
Eventually, it clicked… and the revelation stopped me in my tracks:
Avant Garde isn’t (specifically) about attraction. At least, not the way you think it is.
The real “magic” of Avant Garde lies in SOCIAL DIS-INHIBITION! 🪄
Suddenly, conversations feel effortless and real. People around you relax profoundly, their usual guard mysteriously absent. Before you know it, they’re sharing things they’d normally keep locked behind closed doors… secrets, vulnerabilities, true desires.
Women especially sense an extraordinary ease around you, like they’ve known you forever.
They instinctively lean closer, open up, laugh genuinely. They don’t feel pursued or pressured; they simply feel comfortable, safe, and irresistibly drawn in.
Does attraction happen?
Absolutely… but here’s the key difference:
Attraction Is An Inevitable Side Effect, But It’s Not The Primary Goal

Think about that for a second…
Rather than trying to convince people to like you, Avant Garde seems to pull down their guarded walls – walls they didn’t even know were there…
Walls built from caution, hesitation, and subconscious fear of judgment. This is especially true for very attractive women (models, influencers etc). They are used to men trying to encroach on them by being “friends”, or being “nice” with ulterior motives.
This is why socially disinhibiting products like Avant Garde work well on extremely attractive, model type women…
There’s also powerful self-effects, which can make you much more sociable and “at-ease” too (this also explains the “nervousness” I experienced earlier, and I’ll show you how to avoid it further down this review – the reasons WHY this happened may surprise you).
There’s also a dash of status enhancement woven in – but not the kind that puts you above others, creating distance or intimidation.
Avant Garde positions you differently in peoples minds…
You’re not the intimidating boss, nor the overbearing alpha.
You’re simply that rare, magnetic guy everyone effortlessly gravitates toward – the guy who’s so relaxed, confident, and cool that people can’t help but want to be in your orbit.
That perfect balance between effortless charisma, comfortable attraction, and genuine openness—this is what makes Avant Garde unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before.
But let’s be clear about something:
Avant Garde Is Not Just Another Attraction Product!
Even if women are powerfully attracted to it – there’s more complexity here, something deeper at play.
In fact, after deep reflection…
I’ve realized this “disinhibition” mechanism is strikingly reminiscent of the legendary L2K formula by the now-defunct Alpha Dream!
Yet, it goes even further.
It carries an additional layer of youthful social status and magnetic charisma, akin to Alpha Dream’s other renowned (but also discontinued) product, Corporativo (Corpo for short)…
Unfortunately, over the last few years, the founders of Alpha Dream became notoriously unreliable – even despite personal efforts to help keep them afloat. I personally reached out numerous times, offered assistance, suggestions, and solutions.
But their responses grew increasingly strange, evasive, even erratic.
Eventually, without warning, they vanished altogether… taking their iconic formulas into the abyss with them.
Legendary blends lost overnight, leaving a void that, frankly, no one else has come close to filling.
Until now, that is…
Until Now, Nothing Has Truly Replicated Or Surpassed The Subtle Genius Of L2K’s Approach
Avant Garde doesn’t merely replicate the subtle genius of Alpha Dream’s famed L2K formula – it expands upon it, improves it…
We’ll get to its UNIQUE qualities in a moment, but let’s take a quick peek into the past.
First, here’s a short excerpt from the L2K review that encapsulates – and mirrors – my experience with Avant Garde in terms of its attraction effects:

It also has built-in “power of persuasion”, and makes women unusually “forward” (sexually) with the wearer… it works fantastically even if you’re not the “smoothest” guy with women, or lack experience going from a “friendly” level, to asking for a date (or moving things in a sexual direction).
… it “unhinges” women on an emotional and physical level, making seduction as effortless as possible.
L2K is one of my all-time BEST pure seduction formulas, and is something of a “Frankenstein” mash-up of 2 excellent products, Alfa Maschio & Glace.
In short:
L2K is a powerful seduction formula from the first “hello”, to hooking up (or escalating to a sexual relationship)…
In the introduction, I mentioned L2K’s remarkable ability to make women feel “comfortable” with the wearer …
… sometimes even comfortable enough to casually talk about sexual subjects openly, flirt, touch, and more.
BUT… there’s an added dimension here, something uniquely sophisticated;
A Charismatic, “Entrepreneurial Shine” Reminiscent Of Another Lost Classic… Corporativo (Corpo).
Here are a few excerpts from the Corpo review that are relevant, and also mirror my results with Avant Garde:

Corpo is a “high status” alpha/VIP type formula, which projects an aura of someone successful, attractive, and highly sociable/magnetic…
Corpo has gone under the radar for the most part, probably because it is labelled a “unisex” formula. But don’t let that fool you. It is a VERY powerful formula, and projects high status, attractiveness, and has excellent social properties making it a FANTASTIC “all-rounder”.
“Corpo is a status/respect pheromone formula with a “VIP” swagger… people will feel a sense of “awe” in your presence. However, the best part about Corpo is that it is not “fearful” or intimidating respect.
It generates respect because people genuinely like you, and see you as superior than them – and therefore, they want to be like you and be in your good graces.”
Avant Garde Is A Highly Viable, Superior Replacement For L2K & Corporativo By Alpha Dream
Just like L2K, Avant Garde effortlessly blurs the boundaries between friendly and flirtatious, smoothly transitioning interactions from purely social to subtly sexual. Yet Avant Garde takes this even further—it creates an almost surreal social dynamic where women become remarkably comfortable crossing typical “social norms.”
Conversations naturally shift toward more personal, intimate topics, allowing effortless escalation to dates, deeper connections, or playful flirtation, all without force or awkwardness.
The longer you’re around someone, the more naturally this intriguing vibe develops, creating the perfect conditions to comfortably escalate from casual chat into flirtatious interaction.
It’s not forced – just smooth, effortless progression.
At the same time, Avant Garde captures the “entrepreneurial swagger” and magnetic social charm that made Corporativo (Corpo) legendary.
Corpo was renowned for projecting effortless VIP charisma and respect – without triggering intimidation or discomfort in others. Avant Garde amplifies this effect even further, placing you comfortably at the center of social circles, where people don’t just respect you but genuinely enjoy your presence.
By skillfully blending these distinctive strengths—L2K’s smooth social-to-sexual transitions, and Corpo’s irresistible “VIP” social magnetism…
Avant Garde is clearly the superior formula – exceeding BOTH classics in complexity, and overall effectiveness.
Advanced-Level Social Influence & Powerful Disinhibition + Potent Attraction Abilities
You might wonder why I’m emphasizing Avant Garde’s “social” side, when clearly it has powerful attraction effects as well.
Here’s the thing:
Most attraction formulas place their primary focus on creating sexual tension or triggering romantic interest/attachment, often neglecting the deeper layers of social comfort and trust that underpin genuine connections.
Avant Garde, however, works in reverse – it leads with deep social disinhibition and effortless charm.
Its attraction power is impressive, but it naturally unfolds as a secondary benefit of the social ease & entrancing personal magnetism it creates, rather than as its primary purpose.
This fundamental difference sets Avant Garde apart as a true “social mastery” formula, not just another attraction spray.
Fair Warning: Consider This An Advanced Pheromone Formula For Experienced Users Only
Let me share a quick cautionary tale—a real-world example of Avant Garde’s raw, unpredictable power when you push it too far.
During the early testing phase, while still trying to “figure it out,” I made a deliberate choice to “pherobomb” myself several times.
Normally, that’s a terrible idea, but at the time I was growing frustrated because I couldn’t pinpoint exactly what Avant Garde was doing.
Well, it did eventually lead me to figure out its real “mechanism of action”.
Here’s a key distinction about overdosing, ESPECIALLY on formulas where “disinhibition” is a strong effect:
When it happens, emotions—especially negative ones—get amplified. Your own insecurities or discomforts become harder to manage, making social interactions feel oddly difficult and strained.
On this particular day, I already had a lot on my mind and wasn’t in the mood to socialize—but the overdose was already kicking in hard. My communication felt scrambled, distracted, like there was static interfering with every conversation. Words stumbled out awkwardly or vanished entirely from my mind.
Even worse, I noticed that people who weren’t particularly fond of me suddenly displayed heightened irritation, tension, even subtle hostility. Their guards weren’t just down—they were acting on feelings they’d normally keep tightly under wraps.
Yet, there was an equally powerful upside:
Attraction Signals From Women Went Through The Roof (Known & Unknown)…

Casual glances turned into lingering, flirtatious stares. Polite smiles turned suggestive, inviting. Personal space barriers dissolved completely, making their interest unmistakably clear.
This was the moment I finally understood the potency and precision required by Avant Garde.
That powerful disinhibition isn’t just limited to positive reactions. If someone already has negative feelings toward you—whether it’s jealousy, resentment, or simple dislike—Avant Garde can amplify those emotions as well.
However, this is MUCH more noticeable when you overdose.
That’s why it was necessary to pherobomb – once I realized this, it became much easier to start working my way backwards and actually figure out what was bubbling under the surface…
It’s a finely-tuned instrument—not just another casual pheromone spray. It can amplify both positive and negative social dynamics simultaneously, demanding careful and thoughtful handling.
Lesson learned: Respect the formula.
Find your dosage sweet spot, and Avant Garde transforms into one of the most compelling, persuasive, and magnetic social tools available today.
Effortlessly Magnetic: Avant Garde Creates Instant Intrigue & Compelling Social Power
Imagine stepping into a room, and instantly feeling a subtle wave of calm, captivating ease radiate outward. People around you visibly relax, their guards dropping quietly yet completely, drawn into your presence by a comfortable sense of trust they can’t explain.
Every conversation you have becomes seamless, effortlessly flowing from casual introductions to personal, intimate connections. People find themselves opening up to you in ways they rarely have before, sharing secrets and hidden truths with a surprising ease—as if you’ve known each other forever.
Women sense your compelling social magnetism immediately. They don’t quite understand why, but they feel completely at ease around you, naturally shifting conversations into playful teasing, genuine openness, and subtle flirtation.
The shift toward deeper connection or romantic escalation becomes something that simply “happens” without force or awkwardness.
But here’s the real beauty of Avant Garde:
It’s not simply about attraction. Attraction is a compelling side effect—but the real “magic” lies in the profound comfort, disinhibition, and powerful social mastery it creates.
Avant Garde positions you as effortlessly magnetic, mysteriously compelling, yet… completely approachable.
With Avant Garde, the entire dynamic changes: social power, ease of conversation, and genuine, effortless connection come first—and the natural pull of attraction effortlessly follows.
Here’s Exactly What Avant Garde Delivers Once You Harness This Hypnotic, Socially Disinhibiting Power:

- Avant Garde creates a deeply hypnotic, disinhibiting “social aura” (particularly attractive to “model-grade” women, much like L2K was in the past)… the mechanism it works by is gently dissolving emotional barriers, allowing people to open up effortlessly, trust you implicitly, and naturally slip into playful, flirtatious behaviors—often blurring traditional social boundaries and creating powerful, genuine connections. You’ll find yourself completely at ease around beautiful women and social interactions.
- Generates an effortless, invisible magnetic pull around you—causing others to feel subtly yet powerfully drawn into your presence, compelled by genuine curiosity and intrigue. You’ll notice women lingering in conversation, leaning in closer, eyes filled with genuine interest—while you effortlessly remain relaxed and fully present, enjoying easy, engaging interactions.
- Gently pulls away emotional walls, creating connections that are surprisingly memorable… Avant Garde isn’t about pushing attraction onto people. Instead, it softly dissolves emotional barriers, making others feel unusually comfortable, open, and genuinely connected to you. Attraction doesn’t just happen—it emerges naturally as a result of authentic trust and effortless conversation, creating interactions that linger vividly in their minds long afterward. It’s the difference between chasing butterflies and standing quietly still… allowing them to willingly land and stay with you.
- Effortlessly blurs the boundaries between friendly and flirtatious—creating interactions that subtly drift from purely social into undeniably intimate territory. At first, conversations feel relaxed, easy, and natural, but soon you’ll notice something fascinating: subtle touches linger longer, playful teasing becomes charged, and the line between “appropriate” and “excitingly taboo” gently fades. Within hours, the compelling allure of Avant Garde grows even stronger, making it remarkably easy—even automatic—to deepen conversations, escalate connections, and move things smoothly into personal or romantic territory.
- Noticeably amplifies attraction signals from women (both subtle and overt)—transforming fleeting glances into lingering stares, polite smiles into flirtatious invitations, and casual interactions into moments charged with unspoken chemistry. You’ll find women comfortably gravitating toward you, openly signaling their interest, allowing for effortless connection and escalation.
- Subtly elevates your social status—others are drawn by authentic charisma that feels approachable, youthful, and refreshingly “cool”… Avant Garde creates this magnetic status effect without intimidation or competitive tension. Instead of sparking rivalries or jealousy, it makes everyone around you (even other men) feel genuinely comfortable, welcomed, and eager to be part of your circle. You’re the guy people naturally want to be around… effortlessly respected, liked, and admired.
- Creates a subtle yet profound “imprinting” effect, but different from True Love or Casanova (or other current romantic attraction geared products)… rather than overt emotional imprinting, Avant Garde naturally frames you as someone already familiar and trustworthy. People (especially women) spontaneously open up, overshare, and confide deeply—effortlessly creating an immediate bond and lasting connection that typically takes much longer to develop.
- Massive “spotlight effect”, attention grabbing + IOI’s galore (possibly driven by androstenetrione)… You’ll notice a distinct visual beautifying effect, as though seen through a flattering filter. Moments feel deeper, interactions more meaningful, and others perceive you with a uniquely captivating aura—especially women, who often become subtly hypnotized, emotionally intrigued, and easily develop “crushy” feelings toward you.
- Note: I’ve long suspected androstenetrione is responsible for the unique, “ethereal” quality present throughout S1CK and Liquid Alchemy Labs formulations—though it’s never been officially confirmed. Once you’re familiar with pheromones, this subtle yet powerful effect seems unmistakable.
- Retains L2K’s powerful social disinhibition—but without the negative side effects: L2K was notorious for occasionally causing tension or strange reactions among other men due to its potent attraction-driven disinhibition effects. Avant Garde preserves the best parts of this socially magnetic allure—while significantly reducing the risk of negative or aggressive reactions, provided you avoid overdosing.
- Effortlessly channels Corpo’s youthful, non-intimidating “VIP” status elevation: Like the legendary Corporativo formula, Avant Garde subtly boosts your perceived social status, making you appear genuinely respected, magnetic, and “cool.” Unlike typical alpha formulas, this status effect never feels intimidating or distant—just authentically charismatic and appealing.
- A distinctly superior alternative to Alpha Dream’s iconic L2K and Corpo blends: Avant Garde masterfully combines the most compelling elements from these two legendary but discontinued products: the captivating intrigue and effortless attraction of L2K, plus the versatile, approachable “VIP” charisma of Corpo. The result is a finely-tuned, advanced social mastery formula that stands alone as uniquely effective and unmatched in its versatility.
- Experience profound self-effects that dissolve social anxiety and amplify genuine confidence—you’ll feel deeply at ease, your mind clear and sharp, your words effortlessly charismatic. Awkwardness vanishes, and even previously intimidating interactions become second nature, allowing your authentic charm to naturally shine through.
- Incredibly versatile “social mastery”—far beyond just romantic encounters: Avant Garde excels not only in creating genuine, magnetic attraction, but also enhances your influence and charisma in professional environments, friendships, networking events, and virtually any social scenario. Wherever genuine connection, rapport, and powerful social influence matter most, Avant Garde delivers effortlessly.
- Darkly attractive and addictive scent profile… officially, it opens with grapefruit, lemon, and bergamot, layered with black currant, pink pepper, and a smoky–leathery base of cedar, vetiver, and benzoin. In practice? It comes across like juicy pear and fruit punch melting into woods and musk — absolutely gorgeous. I’ll be honest, I’m not the best at dissecting exact notes in a fragrance… all I know is that this stuff smells like money – women cannot stop smelling it when you’re nearby.
- WARNING: Powerful & advanced-level formula—precise dosage required… Avant Garde demands your respect due to its potency and nuanced effects. Overdosing can amplify your own insecurities and even trigger unexpected negative reactions in others—tension, awkwardness, or discomfort. But when used with precision, it delivers unmatched social ease, captivating magnetism, and effortless charisma. I personally had to dial it up to 2.5 sprays (from the large sprayer, when it works well). 2 seemed slightly too little, 3 started putting other men slightly on edge. Be careful and test this — if possible, get a tiny dropper bottle to make it more precise. You’ll know when its hitting from the huge IOI effects. And lastly – this is a particularly finicky product, sometimes more or less seems to work, its very difficult to pinpoint, even for someone using pheromones as long as I have. There is a good solution for this below…
Liquid Silver – Easier-to-Use, Luxuriously Scented Versions of Avant Garde

If you’re intrigued by Avant Garde’s signature social charm and attractive, magnetic appeal, but prefer a more “carefree” application, the Liquid Silver variants offer something uniquely compelling…
The Liquid Silver series infuses the same potent Avant Garde formula, but pairs it with a luxurious Creed Aventus inspired cologne…
For over a decade, Creed Aventus has been considered the “gold standard” among men’s fragrances—coveted by connoisseurs, chased by collectors, and imitated endlessly. Known for its magnetic blend of juicy pineapple, smoky birch, and refined musk, Aventus became the ultimate masculine scent.
But there was always one major flaw: inconsistency.
Fragrance enthusiasts obsessed over specific “grail” batches – rare versions of Aventus with the perfect balance of fruitiness, smokiness, and lasting power.
Enter the “Liquid Silver” series.
These meticulously crafted Aventus-inspired scents didn’t just replicate Creed’s iconic fragrance…
The perfumers behind S1CK pinpointed those legendary “grail” batches, capturing their elusive charm with flawless consistency.
The obvious added benefit is that the variant versions come with a 1/4 dose of the Avant Garde formula.
However, there’s a subtle yet critical difference:
Its exceptional sillage and remarkable lasting power likely come from additional use of ISO E Super, and likely ambroxan (another molecule known for massively enhancing fragrance product sillage/projection).
Known “Pheromone Amplifiers” Enhancing Range, Balance, And Effectiveness Of Pheromone Blends
Because of these ingredient adjustments, fewer sprays of Liquid Silver are required to achieve effects similar to full-dose Avant Garde, allowing you to use it more liberally.
The only downside is that you’ll probably use the product faster—and it’s not cheap.
On the plus side, the fragrances themselves are EXCEPTIONAL…
And even without pheromones, they’d still be well worth the asking price.
While Avant Garde remains the clearly more potent, advanced-level formula, Liquid Silver variants seem to make smaller pheromone doses work more efficiently, enhancing overall consistency and ease of use.
Here’s A Quick Explainer Of The “Liquid Silver” Series:
- Liquid Silver Original (scent only – contains NO pheromones)
Liquid Silver original captures the most desirable, fruity and slightly smokey version of Creed Aventus perfectly – but the sillage, projection, and lasting power are far superior to the original… this scent is absolutely beautiful and lasts for 10+ hours on my skin. As I mentioned in the bulletpoints summary, I’m no expert on fragrance notes. But, I’ve used a Creed Aventus bottle in the past, and recently compared again at a boutique – the Liquid Silver original version is superior in my eyes. This is a premium product, and even without the pheromones it is well worth the money.
💎 Buy Liquid Silver (ORIGINAL Version) Here - Liquid Silver Holy Grail Edition (contains 1/4 dose of the Avant Garde formulation)
Precisely inspired by Aventus’s legendary 14k01 batch—a highly sought-after formulation celebrated for its vibrant, juicy pineapple and perfectly balanced smoky nuance. Its exceptional performance radiates distinctly masculine charisma, making it ideal for daytime allure and magnetic first impressions. The pineapple note in this version is magnificent, and the “smokiness” adds a layer to the scent that feels absolutely sublime.
💎 Buy Liquid Silver (HOLY GRAIL Edition) Here - Liquid Silver Absolu 3x Aged (contains 1/4 dose of the Avant Garde formulation)
Inspired by the highly coveted and notoriously elusive Aventus Absolu 3× Aged batch—a deeper, darker, and creamier twist on the classic Aventus DNA. Absolu sharpens the citrus and spice notes (a juicy burst of grapefruit, if I were to guess) and weaves in luxurious layers of smoky refinement, creating a fragrance that feels like it’s been expertly aged in rich oak barrels. Collectors relentlessly chase this particular batch for its sophisticated complexity. Feels majestic.
💎 Buy Liquid Silver ABSOLU 3x Aged Here
From my personal experience;
The Liquid Silver Products Genuinely Surpass Even The Original Creed Fragrances In Quality, Longevity, and Luxury…
Plus you get the additional benefit of carefully balanced pheromones in the Holy Grail and Absolu variants.
Both variants allow for liberal, confident application without fear of overpowering effects, ensuring effortless social mastery & attraction wherever you go.
(A more detailed review/clarification of the Liquid Silver product line is coming soon, although atleast 90% of the core pheromone effects are already covered in this review)
Liquid Silver vs Avant Garde. Which Should You Pick?
If you’re new to advanced pheromone blends or simply want a reliable, easier-to-use alternative to Avant Garde, both Liquid Silver variants are your best choices (Holy Grail or Absolu versions).
Both products deliver smoother, more predictable social attraction and confidence effects without the complexity and anxiety that some users experience with Avant Garde.
Avant Garde can be incredibly powerful but is notoriously challenging – even for experienced pheromone testers.
If you’re looking for straightforward, dependable results without extensive trial-and-error, then Liquid Silver should be your go-to solution.
In short:
Liquid Silver is ideal for those who want powerful social magnetism, unfiltered attraction and confidence without unnecessary headaches or guesswork.
Avant Garde effects are more powerful, but it definitely takes a bit more legwork to get those more extreme social and attraction effects.
Final Thoughts & Verdict: Avant Garde by S1CK x Liquid Alchemy Labs
Avant Garde isn’t just another pheromone formula… it’s an advanced, precision-crafted social mastery tool.
If you’re seeking an effortless, deeply compelling social aura, profound emotional disinhibition, and magnetic influence—this is your new secret weapon. But remember, Avant Garde demands respect. It rewards thoughtful, precise use, while careless overdosing can amplify negative emotions and tension.
That being said – where does Avant Garde truly shine?
Avant Garde is especially powerful if you…
- Are interested in “model” type women, who often have automatic shields up from men trying to encroach with ulterior motives. Avant Garde will remove or massively reduce these barriers.
- Want to instantly eliminate approach anxiety and effortlessly connect with someone you’re attracted to.
- Have upcoming first dates and want even introverted personalities to open up quickly and genuinely.
- Regularly interact with clients, colleagues, or customers, aiming to create immediate trust and authentic rapport.
- Enjoy social settings and want people—whether strangers or acquaintances—to feel naturally comfortable around you.
- Frequently find yourself in new or high-status social environments and want others to naturally gravitate toward your presence.
- Seek subtle yet powerful attraction and social influence that never feels forced or artificial.
If any of these situations resonate with you, Avant Garde will quickly become your most trusted social ally.

These are worth every dollar!
P.P.S. Remember, S1CK offers a full 30 day money back guarantee. There’s absolutely no risk involved, these are currently the most stunning products on the market in terms of pheromone quality and scents themselves.

AVANT GARDE is NOTHING like L2K 2014. I’ve been using it for months. There’s no disinhibition, no women fighting over me unlike L2k, almost no IOI from 9’s who look 21-29. I get more IOI from 15 year olds. It does not make you articulate or help speech, and it doesn’t lead to sex unlike L2k. It also causes anxiety and headaches. It is not a ONS product like L2k. If L2k was a Lamborghini Avant Garde is a Tercel. Oh yeah not one model opened me unlike L2k which had me opened every night. If L2k 2014 is a 10/10 product AG is a 1/10. I’ve had results with CAS V1, AQ V1 frost bottle. But that’s about it from S1CK. I’d love to hear what other users say in upcoming weeks.
Hi Dsouza, thanks for chiming in – but let’s be real here.
You’ve been chasing the L2K 2014 high for years now. Nostalgia is powerful, but memory is selective. You’re in your mid-50s today, and I noticed through your YouTube channel that you’ve lost muscle mass and gotten a bit more overweight in recent years. This alone explains why you’re not seeing the same results you remember from 7–10 years ago when L2K was still available. Pheromones can amplify what’s already there, but they can’t undo lifestyle changes, your looks and health status have noticeably declined.
It’s the same pattern I’ve seen with you for a long time: blaming the product instead of taking responsibility. Even when I give you solid advice — like cutting weed, you brushed it off. Then you come back complaining about anxiety, speech issues, or lack of results.
Comparing Avant Garde to L2K like it’s the same thing also misses the point completely. AG wasn’t built to be a carbon copy of 2014 L2K. It’s a more nuanced design with smoother disinhibition and less of the weird effects L2K was notorious for. Expecting the exact same “models opening you every night” experience now that you’re almost a decade older, heavier, and in a different social scene is unrealistic. I have very good interactions with very attractive models and influencers on a regular basis, and I’m currently living in Bangkok, Thailand… there are 9s and 10s everywhere, Thai women as well as women from Russia, USA, other parts of Asia where I test these products constantly.
To add, Avant Garde is quite a finicky product, and its possibly the reason you may not have had the results I had. What I would recommend doing is taking it with you in public, and keep spraying it every 1-2 hours if you aren’t noticing results. If people start acting weird, you know you’ve gone too far. Take some witch hazel with you and wipe off spots where you applied it… you may notice that once the dose is exactly right for you, it does work very well.
Other than that, you really need to take some responsibility for your health and looks – even though pheromones are excellent tools, they aren’t going to work as great if you’ve lost 1-2 points in attractiveness in the last 5-10 years. You may also also want to consider Liquid Silver, this will likely give you a bit more breathing room to test whether the product is just not for you, or its a dosing issue.
I’ve switched to free weights and have cut out the marijuana as per your suggestion. I’ll also play with dosages as per your suggestion. Will report back in 4-8 weeks
That’s a good start. If its in you at all, I’d also recommend you take some private combat sports lessons and then join group classes to see how you go. Other than many of the mental / emotional benefits I describe, it will whip you into shape much faster than personal training, even if your diet stayed the same. Plus its more fun and cheaper to do classes.
I’ve been into pheromones for a few years now and have tried most of the S1CK lineup. Casanova, True Love, Alpha Q… all good in their own ways. But after wearing Avant Garde on and off for the past year, I honestly think this one hits the best for me.
I work in corporate finance so I can’t exactly walk around acting reckless or let things spill over at the office. But what’s interesting is how women behave around me when I’m wearing this. They’ll find reasons to linger at my desk or stick around after a meeting, even when there’s no real reason for them to be there. Sometimes they’ll ask the same question twice, like they just want to keep talking.
After a while it gets more obvious – playful comments, little touches on the arm, even saying things that are a bit over the line for a professional setting. I’m mid 30’s, and the women who do this are typically very attractive early-mid 20s, receptionist/assistant type roles.
What I like about Avant Garde compared to something like Casanova is that it doesn’t feel forced. Casanova can be a bit heavy handed, especially for an office. Avant Garde is smoother, it gets women comfortable first, then the attraction just builds naturally. That clingy “I don’t want to leave” vibe is strong with this one and it makes it feel more genuine. And like you mentioned in the review, there’s no weird behavior towards you when guys feel threatened by your presense.
Out of everything I’ve tried, Avant Garde is the one I keep going back to. It just fits more situations and gives me the best results overall.
Great write-up — that lines up almost exactly with my experience. Avant Garde really shines in those everyday environments where you don’t want something heavy-handed. I’ve noticed the same “linger effect” you mentioned — people who could easily walk away just… don’t. It’s subtle but powerful.
Totally agree on the vibe compared to Casanova too. Casanova can flip the switch fast, but in the wrong setting it feels out of place. Avant Garde’s comfort-first approach makes the attention feel more natural, and that clinginess builds over time instead of blowing up instantly.
The lack of guy-resistance is a big deal too. With some attraction-heavy blends, you can feel the tension right away. With AG, everyone seems more at ease, which makes it way more versatile.
Glad to hear you’ve had the same consistent results — it’s definitely one of the standouts in the lineup.
now that you mention it, it really does feel like L2K – WHEN YOU GET IT RIGHT (I tried Alpha Dream back when it was available in the early days), i know exactly what you mean by this. what you are saying about getting the dosage right is 10000% correct. i didn’t realize how careful you need to be with the dosage, because sometimes while wearing it I noticed people staring from all around, guys and girls. But other times, it felt like people were uncomfortable around me or totally invisible. what are the main differences with liquid silver?
What dosage worked for you to get it like L2k?
For me, 2.5 sprays works very well. But you are much older than me, I would recommend what I said before about photobombing it and see if you get reactions – positive or negative. It could also have to do with lower testosterone levels, in which case this may not be the most suitable product for older gents. I’ll have to get back to you on this after some older folks try it out and let me know their results. Do you have some pure androstenone to pair it with? Give that a try as well.
Yes I have primitive and NPA. Coincidentally, even being older, out of shape, and in a less startling social scene got me excellent results with 21 yo hb9 modeleque women with 4 drops nude 1 spray NPA just yesterday. I know this thread is about AG but it’s some food for thought. How could my results be different a day later due to looks, health and social scene? Therefore, it’s the choice of mones for my age, the dosages of AG I still haven’t figured out or adding NPA thats making all the difference now that I’m mid 50’s.
Are you closing with these women? I get the feeling you are conflating positive interactions with creating genuine sexual or romantic interest. The only way you can know for sure is if escalation is comfortable, because advances will be welcomed.
The androstenone in these products can hit hard but cause serious intimidation or spark combative behavior for younger men in their 20s to 40s… considering your age, high androstenone products are probably much more effective for you in general. I’d still recommend pherobombing Avant Garde to see what happens even if it results in negative effects.
i have the small sprayer bottles of avant garde, but the big bottles of liquid silver holy grail, because Creed is my favorite fragrances of all time.
but for avant garde, it takes about 3 pumps of the small sprayer. this works out around 1 spray of the big bottle i think. if it gets stuck, I’ll need to twist it around a little bit and spray 1-2 more times. personally I just take it with me and apply until I start seeing noticeable effects on people. but usually not much, and very easy to go overboard because its so concentrated.
The main difference with Liquid Silver is that it’s a lot more forgiving. Liquid Silver (The “Holy Grail” and “Absolu” variants only) carry about a quarter of the Avant Garde pheromone dose 12mg vs 48mg. BUT, as far as I can tell (and from what I know from the owner), the scent/pheromones are fixed with additional ISO E Super, so it projects further and lasts significantly longer – plus the smoothing effect ISO E Super has on mixes. You don’t get the same sharp “social disinhibition spike” that Avant Garde has when it hits right, but you also don’t get the volatility. Think of Avant Garde as the scalpel — powerful but precise. Liquid Silver is more like the daily driver: easier to wear, consistent, and less risky to overdose on.
That’s why I would likely recommend Liquid Silver variants over Avant Garde for new pheromone users – or even experienced pheromone users who just want a very high quality cologne they can overspray without worrying about pheromone content (and still get most of the benefits Avant Garde would provide).
Great review as always bro. I haven’t tried the avant garde, but I have tried the liquid silver holy grail. I will say that everything you stated as far as the effects are pretty spot on. However, from my personal experience Alpha Q has more of that old school original L2K vibe vs Avant Garde or the liquid silver brands. Through my tests with liquid silver holy grail, this product somewhat reminds me of a slightly watered down version of the Alpha Treasures product with a little added social ease to it. But like you stated years ago, everyone experiences these products differently. Thank you for always putting out good reviews consistently for over a decade now.
Hello
How would you compare it to Aqua Vitae? I have been looking for something for work settings that won’t intimidate men but increase attraction from women. Since Aqua Vitae is very intimidating, I reckon this might be a good choice.
Also, can this be used in a dropper bottle instead of spray? Droppers are always easier to use.
Hi Lethal, its been a while since I’ve used Aqua Vitae – at the time, the product also was known to be quite difficult to dose correctly, I wonder if there’s some ingredient overlap we’re missing that causes this effect (since Liquid Alchemy Labs are behind S1CK’s pheromone formulas too).
I think Avant Garde is a very good replacement for this, even at 1 spray the effects are still noticeable and very suitable for work settings. There’s no intimidation, but a warm kind of respect and sociability that makes other guys really think you’re a cool ,trustworthy person.
Why didn’t you give it a sexual score like you do all your physical and romance products?
I classify this as more of a social product, with attraction as a side effect. It doesn’t need it, and these scores are just approximations as well. Also, the actual review system on this site is a bit dated, it’ll get upgraded soon where all reviews have the same rating criteria.
August 19, 2025
Something wierd happened today the DAY AFTER using AG at 2.5 sprays.
I got IOI and close proximity from 4-5 25-35 yo , 5’9″-6’1″, HB9/10 models all during my lunch hour at whole foods. They didn’t stick around for anything to happen though. It was just look with eyes big and smile and then take off.
Also as I passed my car by Tim Hortons a tall HB 9 23 yo caucasion model kept eyeing inside my car.
I can’t see how AG could hit her from that distance and also the next day.
My body has changed drastically. I went from not lifting to doing 30 lb dumbells for 12 exercises in a row no rest just this morning so I must of had a massive pump. My SO says I look like how I did at 25.
So maybe it was how I look but why only tall and caucasions HB10 models in my vicinity? It seems that that can’t come from my body alone especially since I didn’t have elevator shoes and could pass for no more than 5’8″ today.
I am going to go out with AG tommorrow again this time with half the dose and see if it hits right away.
PheroJoe if you think using half the dose is a mistake and I should use 2 sprays or more let me know. Remember 2.5 sprays caused terrible nervousness and anxiety when I wore it and I felt invisible yesterday.
This is what I’m talking about… actually, I forgot to include this in the review (for now, I’ll update it later) because I’ve noticed it several times myself but haven’t fully gotten to the bottom of it yet. I’ve experienced similar “day-after” effects during my pherobombing tests with Avant Garde, especially after heavier doses that initially felt weird or triggered nervousness/anxiety.
IOI’s went totally crazy, especially from attractive women (and I noticed this several times during my Muay Thai training as well – attractive women, models, and influencers often come to these gyms in Thailand for fun and fitness). There’s been around 8-9 instances over the past few months where I looked like shit and women were STILL eyeballing me HARD during class (like they were trying to get my attention). I sweat heavily, so I don’t wear products to training… these were strictly day-after effects.
My current theory is that it’s residual molecules lingering on skin, hair, or clothing fibers that re-diffuse later, or perhaps some delayed synergy between the pheromone blend and your natural pheromones.
Whatever’s going on, it’s definitely real, consistent enough to notice, and intriguing enough to keep digging into… I’ll continue testing this over the coming weeks.
Definitely run that half-dose test – let me know if the attraction signals come quicker or match the intensity of these “day-after” hits.
Ultimately, this is what it should feel like once you’ve dialed in your exact dosage – and exactly why I mentioned in the review that Avant Garde can be quite a finicky product… I might end up recommending Liquid Silver for most people, reserving Avant Garde as more of an advanced user’s choice. Even for experienced pheromone users, it takes patience and experimentation to get the most out of it.
When I had Avant Garde sprayed on me with 4 sprays the effects I got from women were reminiscent of those I got while wearing Aqua Vitae, lots of IOIs, head turns, looks and smiles. Attractive women fighting for My attention and to get my business. Fighting to speak to me and serve me everywhere. It does reminds me a little of when I used to wear Corporativo with the type of girl and type of attention I would receive from them. Also it gave me a very happy and extremely confident vibe.
It’s a fantastic product all-round. This review is very in-depth and accurate and seems to match-up in many ways with my experiences with the product. Now after reading this it may be time to put some Avant-Garde back on me again today.
Hey Jake, thanks for chiming in. I agree, Aqua Vitae is one of those special products that can’t fully be replaced. The effects are absolutely insane and undeniable, especially when you’re a newbie and never experienced anything like it. That product was also known to be a bit fiddly to get the dosages correct, but when it hit, it was crazy. LAL being behind it, I’m wondering what molecules might be causing this effect.
Hey Yoooo Phero Joe
I have been in the pheromones game for at least 10 years like you been following your Blog and Pherotruth since the beginning..Anyways we need a review of : Le Toxique by S1ck
What do you think about that one !
Actually, LeToxique is the same formulation as Avant Garde too (in the same concentration as well — just a different scent). I didn’t mention it in this review as I’ll write a proper product line summary soon and I don’t want this review to get too convoluted.
August 20, 2025 — Avant Garde 1 spray, 3:30 pm
* Sat down beside this tall Varsity 6’1″ 24 yo Japenese guy and his 5’5″ HB10 24 yo Asian GF. Man was she dressed hot. And she was a University girl with a badass boyfriend so she was talking badass language and preening all the time. I noticed at one point while I was sipping my coffee beside them she pulled out her phone and took a picture of my wrist bracelet I just purchased from S1CK about a month ago. At first I was wondering wtf is this… then I hear her BF saying you like that kinda jewlery right…. Anyways that’s the first example of disinhibition. She obviously looked up to me as if I was a rich man … perhaps the wealthy jewlery mixed with AG. The Corpor Effert. A “hit!”.
* I see this 35 yo HB5 black woman and 6 yo son sitting beside me, eating their meal. Since she’s an HB5 I don’t look, showing no interest. All of a sudden while I’m texting a friend , I hear “EXCUSE ME?”. I still text. “EXCUSE ME?” (said again as if deparately trying to get my attention).. I look and she says “Do you have the time?”. I state it’s 4:30 pm. She says thank you. Later before she left, I once again was not looking and she states as she gets up… “I want to thank you personally for giving me the time”. yeah right. That was an attempted pickup. No one acts that nice. A “hit!”
* My friend on the phone tells me to go to the Italian Bistro Cafe. So I go there. First thing I notice the Barista whose an HB8.5 about 5’5″, face pretty, body lean like a model, with big firm round buttocks in her jeans. She must of been 120 lbs.. How she got a booty that big for such a small white girl puzzles me. Anyways, she went the extra mile to serve and talk to me. I joked around with her as I asked how I want my expresso to be made…. I pay for it… I can’t help but notice she’s paying special attention to me…. I sit down in the middle of the cafe and drink coffee. I notice the barista makes eye contact as she passes by about 10 feet away placing her buttocks towards my view…. I smile at her with an evil grin. As she approaches ME (A hit) I open her… So is this your full time job? She says I only started 2 days ago…I ask are you in school. She replies I just finished my studies at X university campus. I ask her her age. She replies 22. I think to myself too young but legal. I sell my career. “I’m a U2 and G N R Guitarist. I play melodies of The Edge and Slash and my own original ambient music. Music is my life. I originally went to University for commerce but returned back to my passion as a child which is music.” Her eyes lit up as if the CORPO element of AG was hitting.. She sensed status I could tell. I then told her “You can find me on the internet… let me give you a gift.. It’s an expensive pen and it’s writes beautifully.. It has my website embroidered on it..” She takes it.. She reads it… “Adrian is your name.”, she says. I say “Yeah what’s yours?” “Alexandra”, she replies. I tell her “On my website you’ll find interviews, access to studio and live recordings, a photograph album, and access to all my social media. You can follow me along as you please or contact me through it. ” So I give her my website pen and tell her to look me up…. Throughout it all I see strong eye contact (AG) and the willingness to please and listen…. She sees me as an authority figure. She says she’s Italian born in Canada. I still can’t get over how soft her skin is and the full buttocks that must be so smooth to the touch.
The women today weren’t 30 somethings with curvier figures who were HB10 like the day after I wore 2.5 sprays but the disinhibition and “pull” effect helped with getting this girl into a conversation as opposed to only IOI like I got the day after 2.5 sprays. I wish there were more hotties there who weren’t hired staff but the cafe/bar had little clients on a Wednesday.
I would say AG is magic. The “pull effect” at 1 spray is amazing. I can’t wait to try it out on a Saturday when the bistro is happening and a lot more clientele show up. I will do 1 spray again. If I notice it continues to work I will keep it, o.w. I will up it to 2 sprays the following week.
The motto is test , test , test what works for YOU. Everyone is different. You must find YOUR sweet spot.
I’m liking AG.. the real test will be if I can close with it.
TO BE CONTINUED….
Sounds about right… people seem to want your attention for no apparent reason lol. They feel overly comfortable encroaching on your space or saying things that’s normally reserved for close friends or people you know already. Keep it going.
Hi Joe I have a bottle of True Love from 2022 and haven’t used it in a long time, is it still good to use for the pheromones effect or is it expired ? I’m 53 years old and my target is same age thanks
Hi Ronnie, yes this is fine. The pheromone effects should still work, and the fragrance should also be fine. Unless you’ve left it in direct sunlight and heat for extended periods of time, the product should be good as new.
August 23, 2025
I wore one spray of AG today at 1:30 pm to same venues as Wednesday.
I must of been wearing water.
Zilch.
The venue was full of hot girls. I didn’t get opened once, no replies to any of my hi’s, and no self effects.
Wtf?
From Zero to hero back to zero lol… maybe you didn’t clean off a previous application properly? or possibly 1 spray is too low and you actually had more than you thought when you actually had good results. There are kits you can buy to transfer the contents to a dropper, it seems like this may be the most accurate way to get the exact dosage. But , Liquid Silver is also an option. I’ll try combining them soon and see what happens, it could possibly make it a lot better with the ISO/ambroxan that are probably in them.
Remember the day I used 1 spray successfully, 2 days before that I had put on 2.5 sprays (and was invisible and nervous). So when I used 1 spray last Wednesday successfully, I may of had a build up. If you recall I told you 2 days after the 2 sprays app I noticed attraction from a multitude of hb9/10 30 somethings who were super curvy! I have a feeling my secret dose therefore lies between 1-2.5 sprays. LS HG might be better but for now I’ll experiment between the 1-2.5 spray margins. I also had a bad sleep yesterday where I was up since 1 am without going back to bed. Sometimes a bad day like that can throw off results. If I don’t find the magic dose with AG within 1 month, I think I’ll pick up a bottle of LS HG and test it out. But if 1 spray AG is too little for my age how can 1/4 of the dose of AG from LS HG be any better? This is why my story has not been completed. Far more testing is required and I’m not going to give up on this gem just because I run into a few roadblocks. Will keep you updated. We’ve got a mystery to solve! 🙂
Liquid Silver as far as I understand it from the design notes (given to me by Jonny, the owner) possibly has ISO E Super and ambroxan as enhancers, while the pheromone formula remains the same, just at a lower dosage. This does seem to amplify the effects of pheromones and the range, longevity and diffusion,, that’s why I think its highly possible that they can work well together. Yeah, just keep testing it, AG is a bit unstable like that. You can also get kits to transfer the contents to a dropper bottle if you have the larger one from Amazon. Or if you have the small sprayer, the sprayer is removable (this may change soon though).
