Alfa Maschio 2.0: NOS Edition Review (Refresh Of A Killer Seduction Formula)

Last updated on February 17, 2020 By Phero Joe

Click image to view product page

Alfa Maschio NOS is a (currently) limited edition version of AM, with “punchier” self effects, harder-hitting effects on women, and an even more potent kick in seduction scenarios.

Short for “new, old stock”, this version of Alfa Maschio comes in a new alcohol-base (rather than silicone like the rest of their products), and uses their original androstenone source from 2013-2014.

Although the current Alpha Dream products are now just as good from that time period…

… The core differences between AM NOS and normal AM are due to the new alcohol-base, and how it affects diffusion of pheromone molecules.

Before I get started on this review, please keep in mind that Alfa Maschio NOS is only a slightly altered version of Alfa Maschio.

The original review on the product still stands, and can be applied to this version too…

Pherotruth, DiscoverXS, & Other Pheromone Forums (Observations)

Last updated on February 26, 2020 By Phero Joe

pheromone forums can be good sources of knowledge, but take them with a grain of salt

Pherotruth, DiscoverXS, and other pheromone forums provide a wealth of knowledge for experienced, as well as new pheromone users… but how much should you rely on them?

I’m not exactly sure when my actual “pheromone journey” began, but I remember reading & eventually joining some pheromone forums (PheroTalk) around 2011-2012.

NOTE: Pherotalk forum is now defunct and went offline some time in 2018-2019.

In that time I’ve come a long way.

Truth be told, I haven’t really contributed on any of them for a long time, even though there are still some pretty cool people that hang out them.

These days, I’m more inclined to focus on my own projects, such as testing pheromone molecules, Read More

S.O.B. by PheromoneXS (The REAL “Instant Jerk” Women Love, Dark, Magnetic Vibe)

Last updated on February 24, 2020 By Phero Joe 17 Comments

SOB-XS is the REAL “instant jerk”. Its designed to attract women by pushing the SAME emotional “hot buttons” that make women go crazy over these types of men (without actually being one)…

Let’s be honest – we’ve all been there…

… We’ve watched absolute wankers get their pick of the sexiest women, and take them home, date them, and other “activities” – while we’ve wondered what their “big secret” is.

Is it really just to be rude, inconsiderate, and plain assholish for no reason?

Is that why women seem to gravitate towards them, and feel uncontrollable desire to have them?

We’ve talked about this before, but no.

You don’t really have to be that dick-ish, Read More

The Hookup by Pheromone Treasures (Easiest Way To “Friends With Benefits”)

Last updated on February 29, 2020 By Phero Joe 37 Comments

The Hookup is another fantastic product from the Pheromone Treasures lineup. As the name suggests, it is a seduction formula with “one night stands” in mind…

After some of the great releases from Pheromone Treasures since their launch, I thought it was about time to give another killer product the spotlight… “The Hookup”.

… but does it succeed?

I personally feel that The Hookup isn’t exactly the type of product you think it is, or as the name implies.

When you think of a product called “The Hookup”, you probably imagine a highly aggressive formula that is geared towards only 1 thing – sex.

However, upon testing The Hookup, I realized that this is a formula that CAN go in that direction, but is more of a well rounded formula that covers 3 important bases.

The Hookup seems to create sexual attraction, but under a cool/popular social vibe… there are a lot of social properties with this product (which I’ll elaborate on shortly). These social properties allow the wearer to steer the product in a sexual direction with EASE. It creates a FUN, flirty environment, and works as a fantastic flirtation & escalation tool. If you are having trouble getting more “aggressive” mixes to work, then this could be the product for you.

It also creates a sort of memory imprint/memorable experiences while wearing it… meaning that women will immediately pick up where you left off. In some cases, wearing hard attraction mixes (think AM, AV, etc) can make women act weird on your next meetup, because they were becoming turned on but didn’t close with you earlier. The Hookup will make women drop their guards and be much more easily persuaded to being a potential hookup.

Is a FANTASTIC product for the BAR scene, parties, or social meetups… I personally feel that this product is geared towards younger women, because it seems to attract them like a magnet without scaring them off with a highly intimidating vibe. Combined with the fact that this product also creates a memorable “popular”/cool vibe, someone who’s comfortable being themselves, and seems to charm everyone, it makes for a very potent, upbeat seduction mix.

In saying that, “The Hookup” isn’t exactly Read More

Dr. Amend’s “Pheromone Advantage” (Don’t Believe Everything You Read)

Last updated on January 4, 2022 By Phero Joe 15 Comments

Dr Amend's Pheromone Advantage real product review

Dr. Amend’s “Pheromone Advantage” has been popping up on the internet lately, and it is another product that simply FAILS to live up to its own promises.

*Sigh*… here we go again. Another pheromone vendor that tries to make unrealistic claims just to make a buck.

NOTE: I have received an email from Dr. Amend’s son, who claims he is a real doctor.

I originally claimed that the doctor may have been a persona, or just made up to give the product credibility.

But since we can’t prove it either way I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether he’s a real person or not.

Now this product has been floating around the internet since about 2007, so it’s been a while.

Nexus Pheromones Review: About As Effective As A “Fart In The Wind” …

Last updated on December 17, 2021 By Phero Joe 2 Comments

Nexus Pheromones cologne is another mass marketed pheromone product with hefty marketing campaigns designed to lie, cheat, and steal people out of their hard earned money.

And like the many pheromone product scams before it, the manufacturer uses every other “red flag” in the book that indicates Nexus pheromones is pure garbage.

Such as…

Using studies on pheromones to try and give their specific product credibility (just because we know a pheromone molecule works, doesn’t mean that the specific product for sale works).

Unbelievable hype and BS artistry (I’ll show you a few snippets from the sales page below).

That stupid “20/20 twins experiment” video, where twins use pheromones – one with them, and one without. This is used by every other scam vendor as well, such as Pherazone, Pherlure, PherX.

This is another product I had managed to get a hold of in my early days of testing…

I should have known better, but being new, and unexposed to how many quality products were available, I fell a victim to the scam called Nexus pheromones.

8 Reasons Why Pheromones Stop Working On Women (And How To Fix Them)

Last updated on December 1, 2021 By Phero Joe 21 Comments

No matter how good your pheromones are, there are always cases where someone isn’t responding to them, or stops responding after it worked great (initially).

So everything is going great – a beautiful woman has caught your eye.

You’ve painstakingly put together a killer pheromone product or combo.

You’re excited about the results you’re going to get…

… and when it comes to the “moment of truth”…

It doesn’t work like it’s supposed to.

What went wrong?

In a moment, I’ll cover some interesting stuff I’ve learned over years of using pheromones…

Pheromone Oil vs Pheromone Sprays: Which Has The Best Effects?

Last updated on September 14, 2021 By Phero Joe 6 Comments

Pheromone oils can work in VERY different ways from their alcohol based counterparts in terms of self effects, and effects on others. But which one is the best?

Pheromone oil vs alcohol – it doesn’t really seem like a big deal …

But sometimes one mix may work for someone, and for someone else it’s a complete bomb (and vice-versa).

Whether it’s due to body chemistry, our “natural” personalities, or our resistance to being controlled is highly debatable.

Nobody really knows why at this point.

However, what we do know is that there is a BIG difference in how a specific formulation (whether it’s oil based, alcohol based, or anything else) can completely change how a product works.

For example, in my Evolve-XS review, I mention that the alcohol version of the product works, but it simply hits too hard and fast which can be a little off putting to women.

It is exactly the same pheromones, in the exact same ratios…

The carrier (in this case, pheromone oil) made all the difference in the results I got.

In a moment, I’ll elaborate on some of the differences to see which “type” might be best for you.

Frankly, I personally prefer pheromone oils for a wide variety of reasons.

However, alcohol based mixes still have their place, and there are pros and cons to both.

Here are some of the CORE differences in how they work.

Pheromone oils typically have a MUCH larger concentration of pheromones per ml, than alcohol based mixes. As an example, a single 10ml bottle of XiSt contains a whopping 58.23 mg of pheromones, while the 10ml version of the alcohol based mix contains 28.94 mg.

Self effects tend to be SIGNIFICANTLY better with pheromone oils vs pheromone sprays. Due to the high concentration of pheromones, the “cloud” it creates is much more concentrated than an alcohol based carrier. Although alcohol is effective, it tends to “spread” the signal from the pheromones around (sometimes this means the target isn’t sure who’s responsible for making them feel a certain way).

Alcohol based pheromone sprays can “hit” targets faster, whereas pheromone oils hit “deeper”… what I mean by that is alcohol tends to disperse a LOT quicker and hit your targets almost immediately. However, oil based pheromone products can take longer to hit – but when they hit, it’s nuclear. It ranges from several minutes to hours depending on the target, the specific product you’re using, your natural personality, etc.

The “projection distance” from alcohol based products is much better than oils. Most pheromone sprays will work in a range of 10-15 ft, with closer obviously being much better to ensure your target gets a good whiff of the pheromones. With pheromone oils, this range is shortened to about 4-8 feet being the max projection limit. In order to get the most from your oil based pheromones, you must be in close range of your intended target.

Pheromone oils tend to last about 6-8 hours, whereas alcohol based products last roughly 2-4 hours optimally. There is a lot of variation because it depends on the specific product, your body chemistry, and your environment. There are some exceptions, such as x22 by Hax Pheromones where it has a short half life, but in general oils tend to diffuse a lot slower.

Pheromone oil works slightly better, because they are perceived in a more “natural” way… the slow diffusion of oil means that your target, and people around you will “believe” your pheromone signature more easily. Sometimes, there can be resistance to a pheromone signal, because it is overwhelming, or doesn’t “suit” you (congruence). In fast paced environments like bars or nightclubs, using an alcohol-heavy mix is preferable.

Remember, all this doesn’t mean that “alcohol” based mixes are bad, they are the most popular format for pheromone products.

Both pheromone oil and alcohol based mixes are still powerful, but if there is an oil based version of a product I would definitely reach for it first.

On another note, most pheromone companies use a mixture – typically a 1:10 ratio of oil to alcohol in order to “fix” the pheromones.

Obviously if it was ALL alcohol it would evaporate too quickly to be useful.

Which brings me to my next point…
