If you’re looking for a REAL “Pherlure review”, you’re in the right place. There is no shortage of shills, fake review sites, and hype surrounding this mass marketed piece of junk.
If you’ve known me for any length of time, you know that scams, hype, and straight lies are one way to get on my last nerves.
Yes, Pherlure is just one of many…
But it has a special place in my “shit list” because of the extreme amount of BS they’ve made up surrounding the product (I’ll explain shortly).
Some people think I write very scathing, undeserved reviews (such as the review I did on Androtics Direct).
But, in my point of view, why should I let scammers continue scamming people?
Especially when we’re talking about spending good, hard earned money on splash on bullshit like some of these mass marketed products.
I recently wrote some articles about how love pheromones work, and effects on attraction.
Before I got “clued in” about how to find and avoid scam pheromone products, I got sucked into buying some pretty sketchy items…
… one of which includes Pherlure.
Long story short: It doesn’t do anything… I tested it early on, and then tested again after I had more experience with pheromone products
Apart from having a decent scent, it is absolute rubbish.
There is literally nothing to say about the product, because it is so utterly useless.
In fact, I had contemplated not writing this review at first.
… but later felt that if people were searching for Pherlure reviews, then I might be able to help someone save their money (and support a REAL vendor that delivers good products).
But I’ve simply had enough of unscrupulous vendors who think they can make any promise under the sun with no consequences.
I did the same thing to Nexus pheromones, and a few others that are on my pheromone “hit list”.
There are also products like Pheromax, and Pherazone that actually do work – but are nowhere near as effective as some claim they are.
In those cases, I simply write what I experienced and my thoughts on them.
There are also people who claim that the product DOES work (but take it with a grain of salt)…
However, you’ve got to keep in mind that there are plenty of shills working for Pherlure (and other companies along the same lines), which makes it even more untrustworthy than it already is.
However, they are particularly persistent…
Below, you will see some of the shills comments I’ve received – as well as other places where they rear their ugly heads (forums and such).
Shills are paid to scour the internet and promote/embellish/make up lies about the product in order to build credibility and make sales.
Take this for example:
On PheromonePro (old site), I had received several comments which had the SAME IP address, but with different names.
When I choose to approve comments, I can see the “IP address” of whoever left the comment.
An IP is just a virtual address for your computer – it can be used to identify where you are located (city/internet service provider/other vague details).
In this case, the shill made up a fabricated review, and then made another comment saying that apparently it “works”, and that I should remove my article…
… however, they were from the same user (as you can see from the same IP addresses/computer) LOL.
Yeah, some companies will sink pretty low to try and pass off low quality products.
Unfortunately, Pherlure is just one of many.
There are literally dozens of these types of overhyped, junky pheromone products that exist online…
… even some scientists who were supposed to be trustworthy (like Dr. Cutler perhaps), resort to this type of hype artistry just to line their pockets a little more.
And there are also fake “review” websites promoting the product because it offers generous commissions on referred sales (just search Google for “Pherlure reviews” or “Pherlure scam”).
… these websites that try to pass it off as a good product, are greedy internet marketers who are trying to make a quick buck.
Although in recent years, they have cleaned up their act in terms of providing a much less spammier sales message over the last few years.
However, in the past they were still some of the biggest BS artists in the industry…
Pherlure has been involved in the complete fabrication of “university studies” to give their products credibility
You heard right. As if the fake review websites weren’t sketchy enough, they literally made up their own human pheromone molecule…”di-dehydroepiandrosterone”.
… and then FAKED “studies” on it.
Note that there is a dehydroepiandrosterone, or more commonly known by enthusiasts as DHEA.
But this takes something that could be partially true, and then spins its own “research” to provide misleading “studies” on the products effectiveness.
After I exposed it on PheromonePro, they had removed it from the wayback machine (it makes backups of websites, however it can be removed the site owners request — which they did).
Here is an excerpt from one of the fake “sources” I saved earlier:
“Subjects were supplemented with Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone in a fragrance marketed under the trade name “pherlure” (n=43) or a placebo fragrance (n=41) for the 12 weeks… The total journalized sexual intercourse activity levels increased in the Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone group by 62.4%, respectively, in contrast to the placebo group which increased by 2.8%”
Unfortunately for them, someone had followed up with University of Chicago and confirmed there was no such study done
There was no “62.4%” increase in sexual activity, because the molecule doesn’t exist, and even if it did…
… there would be NO conclusive way to actually get to that number.
It was clearly pulled out of thin air for marketing purposes.
Also, in the past they had tried to make up their own “sources”, linking websites ihealthjournal.com, wondersinscience.com, and also didehydroepiandrosterone.info (all of which are no longer available).
The last website had expired some time later – and someone recreated it to expose their very sketchy business etiquette
This is a screenshot from a website exposing Pherlure (didehydroepiandrosterone.info – not available anymore).
As you can see, they have lost ALL credibility as a serious pheromone product.
If you we’re looking for a review on Pherlure, I hope you can see through their lies by now and avoid buying from them.
Perhaps in the last few years they’ve reformulated and made a product that does SOMETHING, even if it still sucks.
Either way though, I’ll never buy from them again – simply because I despise scam artists and actually have morals.
I doubt they care enough to make something decent, since there are always going to be people that don’t know any better.
Heck I even fell for the hype at one point.
Corpo is one of my favorite “all-rounder” pheromone colognes… it has high social status, a “VIP” atmosphere, and a fantastic sexy/sexual vibe which is never too intimidating or scary. Although it was designed for you to be seen as a high status “cool” guy, it is great for attraction purposes too. Read more here.
Let’s wrap it up with a quick Pherlure review
- The product simply doesn’t work (it had no effects to speak of)… During my initial testing of it from about 3-4 years ago and recently (1 year ~), I received absolutely NOTHING in terms of hits. Some people consider smiles and light flirting to be hits, but this happens with or without pheromones… so no, it doesn’t count for anything.
- Uses scammy, hyped up advertising. They also straight up LIED about “university studies”, and then had the gall to create other websites “proving” that their product works. It obviously doesn’t, or they wouldn’t have to make up their own sources… there would be legitimate websites such as House Of Pheromones taking a closer look at it.
- Uses shills (fake accounts), and marketers to make fake websites promoting Pherlure. Like I mentioned earlier, searching for reviews or anything related will bring up plenty of fake websites hyping the product up. These are made purely to rip people off and are not genuine reviews.
- The only half way decent thing about it is that it has an “okay” scent. It smells kind of cheap, but at the very least it’s not awful. You could however invest in a proper scent rather than supporting these scammers. In fact, a high quality cologne would probably get you more positive attention than this fake pheromone product anyway!
This company is just one of the many "fly-by-night" scams that is only interested in taking your money. If you care at all about quality, integrity, and simply not wasting your money... steer clear of the product. The fact is there are plenty of these kinds of products around, which are pure snake oil. Sure, maybe some newbies may get effects from the product (probably due to the scent itself), but you're much better off getting a decent cover scent and choosing a product that actually works.Pherlure Review: Final Thoughts

"Totally Worthless"
After several years of being in the game, I’ve lost all my patience for “vendors” that just can’t deliver.
The information is out there for people who really put in the effort to create advanced, unique, and new products…
… by not even attempting to create a decent product, it is a slap in the face in terms of all the testing, research, and reporting we as pheromone users do because we LIKE doing it.
Not just to make a few bucks off the unsuspecting.
Their shills, the fake “Pherlure review” sites, and all would be completely unnecessary if they had a decent product in the first place.
If you happen to stumble upon this review, I hope you decide to support some of the vendors that are reliable, and consistently deliver awesome products that work.

I have actually tried it!
Good scent buts that all it is. No results. I had tried some other products before as a reference. No refund was forthcoming either.
I actually fell for “di-dehydroepiandrosterone”
Also these pathetic shills should be ashamed but such is the Internet.
You’re doing a great job. Some fake review sites has this above some LAL products.
Yours is probably only 1 of a handful of genuine review sites.
Thanks for the support Pete!
I am appalled at how low some of these companies will go… lol, they could simply create a decent product which would probably take about the same amount of effort that they put into creating this garbage. Oh well, atleast they’ve been exposed.
Kind of funny how “Tony”s email is ‘heres2usuckers’ while promoting Phurlure!
What a dumbass!
Actually, Pherlure was the first phermone enhanced cologne I ever tried. It absolutely worked- Women at the office were much more friendly, women at the store were actually flirting with me, and my wife was much more affectionate. Even my daughter, who was going through a bitchy young adult phase suddenly turned affectionate, kept hugging me.
No, it did not seem to engender arousal, but women were definitely affected in a positive friendly way
I have tried other phermone based products that did nothing. PherX, – zero response. Raw chemistry- zero response. Phermone Treasures – cool packaging! tried both Captain and The Hookup- zero response.
Haven’t tried Raw pheromones yet, PherX is a known scam… but if you’re having results with Pherlure and not with Pheromone Treasures products that puts you in a special category (of my skepticism). There are a bunch of shills for this product that pop up every few weeks so I take your comments with a grain of salt mate. I really doubt that happened, but hey whatever floats your boat 🙂
Joe. I’m wondering if it all boils down to body chemistry. What works for one may not work for another. I have not re-ordered Pherlure, been trying other products. I’d like to find something with a lower price point and equally or more effective, with more data to substantiate claims. – There is virtually no data on the ingredients of Pherlure, nothing on their web site except some semi- naked models, and no feedback section. That said, it did work for me. If I cannot find something else, I do plan to re-order.
Yes, body chemistry plays a huge role in determining the effectiveness of pheromone products. For some people, it varies product by product, and brand to brand. Most of the time its fine for most people but there are a chosen few bodies that decide not to co-operate! Ahh the mystery of pheromones.
While there are lots of phony pheromone products out there, this article really doesn’t say much other than bashing Pherlure’s product. I’m not saying that the writer isn’t correct in his review, but nothing is stated in any manner that truly operationally defines a “hit” or a “success” with the cologne.
I think that the actual, valid point about these products (those that actually contain some kind of pheromone in them) is that any affect that a user would experience will be more subtle. Basically, it seems to me that most pheromone users over simplify these chemicals by correlating them to a sexual encounter. Instead it makes more sense to look for a catalyst for a conversation that otherwise might not have occurred, or a positive reception to the wearers presence rather than immediate disregard.
Those kinds of subtle reactions are the reality of these products, IF they even work to begin with. And so, my point is that most reviews misrepresent a pheromone product almost as badly as the product manufacturers do, both promising an effect that they don’t yield. Pheromone’s simply won’t get a guy laid. If they work at all, then all they are doing is assisting the turn of a head in your direction, or the extra moment of curiosity before the cologne user makes or breaks the interaction of his own accord.
The product manufacturers are liars, but most reviewers actually have no idea what they are looking for in their reviews of these products to begin with. Just a point of conversation. My perspective comes from 3 degrees, 2 in cognitive psychology (not Freudian theory, but science), a background in counseling and education, and personal experience using a pheromone product in the past.
Hi John,
Thanks for your reply. I agree, there isn’t much to say about Pherlure other than it pretty much sucks. I touched on other things of interest, because if people are looking for Pherlure reviews they will likely find the article. If at least a few people see it, then it’s job has been accomplished.
That said, I’m not sure why you’re referring a reviewer in the third person, as this is a review website specifically for pheromone products I’ve tested. And I do know what I’m looking for when I go in the field and test them. I have been testing pheromones for a few years and I can vouch for the fact that some of the best products have noticeable effects on other people. Perhaps some people will perceive them as subtle, but over time you develop a keen social sense which allows you to notice a spectrum of effects, which to me are pretty heavy duty at times.
I agree that many people see correlation as a factor for them working, but as you might know there are products that are specific to create various effects, more so than just purely sexual encounters (for example, alpha and social effects). When this is proven over and over with and and without a product, it is a pretty reliable indicator that is what the pheromone product is doing.
Testing a single pheromone product isn’t really much experience. Before you write them off I suggest you take a closer look at other quality products 🙂
Back in the 2006-2008 area of time, I bought two bottles of Pherlure. The first one because I was curious and wanted to see what it did. The second because I was so impressed with what the first one did. And the third I did not buy because the second did NOTHING.
This led me to believe that one of the following two possibilities were likely:
1. They were pulling a “bait and switch” to make more profits, and whatever was in Bottle #1 was pheromones in a formula that was effectivem but bottle #2 was just scent. Get ’em hooked and reel ’em in, while making lots of money.
2. They changed the formula when they realized that people would still buy it as just fragrance.
Whatever the case, it upset me a great deal that I stuck my neck out on the first bottle to give them a good review, and then the second bottle was worthless. Same people – no response.
Hi John,
That’s unfortunate! Luckily there are a lot more options now, and pheromone products have evolved far beyond useless gimmicky formulations that were made back then. Not surprising you didn’t hear anything back, these companies are absolute tossers when it comes to trying to get your money back.
No, the cologne works. Wear it for your girlfriend, the sex will be better. Wear it around strangers and they will initiate conversation, smile and flirt more. HOWEVER if you wear it around women you already know, they’re not going to start hitting on you if they can’t rationalize the sudden inexplicable new attraction for you; they’ll just pretend nothing is different. But they give themselves away. Some women will avoid you, some may get warmer and others might get irritable, because why are you hot all of a sudden? This is weird. One co-worker flashed me really creepy smiles anytime I wore the cologne so I’m not imagining things. Frankly I’m glad everyone thinks it’s a scam so no one will ever accuse me of being manipulative by wearing this stuff. It’s not a miracle worker though. Pheromone isn’t everything. If you’re fat bald and ugly, no you probably won’t score more.
If it works for you then great. The product failed for me and many people who have contacted me saying it sucks.
actually, YOU suck,i understand you get pay to write bad reviews,but women sure pay more attention to you when you wear Pherlure, good luck with your product
lmao, okay shill away mate, shill away. Pherlure is is still rubbish and if people want to waste their time and money on it they are free to do so.
I am looking for something stronger than pherlure. Over the last 10 years, I’ve gotten laid with over 10 girls. I’m just average but I feel it helped a lot. Don’t say it doesn’t work, it did for me. Now, I want something stronger because, well, the easier the better. What do you recommend. I’m interested in women 25-30
Hi Mike, there are a lot of products to choose from, I definitely suggest looking through the top pheromones list in the menu and going from there 🙂 It’s hard to say without knowing more about you personally, you will be better off choosing a product you think will work well for your personality etc.
You’re just an ass hole man, when I used pherlure women would literally grab me and smell me then tell me how damn good I smelled. Maybe you’re natural body smell couldn’t be hidden by pherlure. Some ppl are just naturally stinky mf.
LOL, okay sure buddy.
Bro i reckon pherlure works from mu experience. I think it just boost your own confidence and ppl feed off it. Anyways regaurdless if it dont work. Pherlure still smells the best
The scent was okay, and it had some minor effects but I think once you get past the initial “oh wow people are acting a little different” it’s nothing special. You can literally get pheromones out of bathroom vending machines in the odd nightclub, which are all useless formulations haha.
I’m a long time user of Pherlure cologne, first time purchased was summer 2008, today I just placed another order for a total of 18 bottles! I’ve bought a lot of pheromone products over the years but out of the dozens I experimented with there are only three I would recommend as my all time favorites. Pherlure, A314 rev32 and early Xist. in that order, That speaks volumes.
