I couldn't agree more on the Est theory! I recently had an experience that made me think what you're saying is true. Curious, has anyone else worn H&S with a poor Est responder? I'm currently reading the thread, but as of August 2013, there isn't much mentioned about it.

This is an interesting topic. I dated someone who was a bad Est responder and coincidentally, a bit narcissistic. I had heard that Perfect Match was good to chase away commitment-phobes and have had some luck with it in that arena. It didn't chase away this one. Of course, narcissists want you to commit to them. However, after this last one, I'm thinking of using Est to weed out the self-centered ones as well. Hmmm ... new ways to use these fabulous tools! I love getting a little help with the filtering process! Thanks, Mara!

Glad to see you posted this thought. I have been wondering if I might need to lower the strength of 333mcg in SS4W. It was one of the first ones I tried when my order of Squeaky Clean arrived. On me, SC got very pointy, but I was determined to wear it and kept diluting it until the edges were soft enough for my chemistry. When it did finally work for me, it was so diluted that I doubted it would have any effect. It seems my doubts were unfounded. I have since tested it in the full UN and appear to be ghosting on it even when diluted to the 1/3 strength. It still needs more road testing to confirm, but that's been my experience with that one so far. Still testing the others including Cougar. edited for clarity

I've had this situation before. My evening plans were going to be really different from my day plans. When I ďid it, I used a combo of a scent locket and using pheros on the wrists or back of my hands. Then, when it's time to change, I can take off the locket (or change what's in it) and wash my hands/forearms and change pheros. Stacy K makes a good point about being careful not to phero bombing yourself. I would hesitate to do that if the change from one to another was going to just be a couple of hours. On the rare occasions when I have done it, it was 4 or more hours from the first phero and I was more conservative with each of them.

Wonderful reviews. Does anyone have stories of hits using Dom Noire?

Many thanks to phergineer, Dolly and cutie.pie. Your input is invaluable! I'm going to start field testing this one (SWS) so I can get a feel for it before the meeting. Dolly - Thanks for weighing in on this one because I remember you mentioning that your man in a no-Est-zone kind of guy. Love the help of forum members!

I have a meeting coming up that will likely have a bit of tension at points. I was trying to determine which would be the best phero for confidence as I'll need it that day. Here's where the real dilemma comes into play ... Currently, there's a possibility that one of the people expected to attend is Est sensitive. I've learned never to wear Est around him. He becomes really unpleasant. Because of his Est responses, it eliminates the two I would normally have tried - Leather or LFM. (Dom does to me what Est does to him, so it's not really an option this time.) I was wondering if SWS might work, but am not sure due to the proprietary ingredients. Has anyone worn SWS around an someone who responds poorly to Est? I still need to field test SWS for selfies, but I'm wondering if it's a possibility.

Thanks, StacyK. I forgot about the cinnamon. You probably just saved me this summer!

With the opportunity to enjoy warm temperatures outside, I wanted to check on whether there were any cautions that should be observed with regards to wearing pheros in the sun. If I recall, there needs to be caution with things that have grapefruit as part of the fragrance, but am not sure about the UNpheros. Are there any that should only be used indoors?

I've had a couple of delicious fragrances turn on my skin. I was so disappointed UNTIL I started using those fragrances with a scent locket. It's a fantastic way to be able to wear the ones that turn. It may be helpful for you, too.

I just ordered the 2X in the 90/10 spray over the weekend. Sooo looking forward to test driving it! Curious how much everyone uses and if anyone's ever applied too much?

Curious ... how much is everyone using?

I love the flexibility scent lockets offer. I was really limited with how much / often I could wear anything scented because of the points mentioned. Now, it's rare that a situation arises when I can't wear one. Let us know how it works for you, Cherise.

I use a scent locket regularly and love it. I can wear scents more often and a greater variety in a given day with the use of a locket. My applications are for the following: 1 - If there's a scent I love but turns on my skin, it can still be enjoyed with a locket 2 - When I really want to wear fragrance but know my day will lead me somewhere they request you to be fragrance-free. (ex. many doctor's offices now request anyone entering their office to be fragrance-free). On those occasions, I can just take off the locket before entering, but still enjoy it both before and after. 3 - If part of my day will be spent with someone sensitive to fragrances, I can do as mentioned above. 4 - Some days I may need one phero early in the day and a different one later in the day. If I'm not sure the first will have time wear off before needing the second, I'll use a locket for the early part of the day. I used to worry about ODing with this method, but it's never been a problem for me. I guess the removal of the first prevents it. When I discovered all the applications for scent lockets, I was able to wear LP's MUCH more often ... which makes me happy (and those around me). I highly recommend them.

I'm still learning about pheros and how to use them. BUT I've re-ordered this one. It's my first re-order. It really does smooth ruffled feathers. It took me a while to recognize the hits, but they are there for me. Even if the grumpy person is still grumbling a bit, at least they're not grumbling AT anyone! Win-win!!

Thanks, Rosebud! TH would have been my Plan B if I hadn't had time to ask for advice.

Thanks for the advice! Stacy K, I was thinking no cops in this situation. Maybe it's just me, but knowingly wearing cops around a boy in puberty seems a little cruel. Poor fella is still figuring out how to handle the hormones nature gave him. Thanks again to everyone for the feedback! I'm feeling a lot more confident that I can continue with the same PM signature.

Thank you, Hearts! I was hoping to be able to stay with the same signature, but just wanted to make sure it would be comfortable for everyone.

I've been seeing Beau intermittently for a few weeks. We knew each other years ago and reunited over the holidays. This past week we decided to take it up a notch and schedule more things together ... like meeting the kids. Here's my dilemma. Beau's always known me with a Perfect Match phero signature (so far about half a dozen in-person interactions). I've read where there were a couple of people who said they'd had good responses from kids when they happen to be wearing it around kids. My concern ... Beau's kids are teen-aged boys. Does this impact which phero I should use? I want us all to feel comfortable when we meet and am not sure if this one(PM) would be ok or if I should try another? Any input from experience or suggestions are VERY welcomed!

Great story and what a fantastic way to ward off his grumpies! Will have to make a "note to self".

I'm not sure, but glad you asked about it. I'll have to pay attention to the other blends with it to see if that's the magic ingredient for me.

Something I've thought about doing (if I thought a phero would be good for a certain situation), but was concerned about the selfies being TOO good was to wear it a few consecutive days leading up to the day it would be impacting others. That way you can build your tolerance. It's not as much fun for you personally, but it's still full strength for those around you. Muahaha ... Best of luck!

Like many here have mentioned before, I had an unexpected use of LPs. I usually associate LPs with social, fun and/or sexy time, but it also amazes me how many times they're helpful in day to day moments. This morning, I had to have a difficult conversation. Just prior to having it, everything inside me started to tighten up. Fortunately, I remembered my LP treasure chest of pheros. The conversation was via the phone, so the selection was just for me. At first, I wanted B2.2 for its calming effects, but then realized I needed a bit of confidence if I was going to pull off what needed to be said. Soooo, I opted for LFM with Flambe' cover. Normally, I might have thought those two to be a little incongruent, but the foody part comforted while the LFM gave a boost to confidence. By the time I had to place the call, I was amazed at how calm my insides were. I could still feel the tension, but it was at a much more manageable level. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU LP TEAM !!!

Good tips! Thanks all. I've been fortunate enough to not OD. Maybe it's because I was worried about ghosting. I'm probably just being impatient with the process and need to make notes. When I first started using, I got great selfies and my body seemed to tell me how much. So, I got lax about writing things down. That and after getting great selfies, I didn't care about getting hits. Perhaps my new year's mantra should be Paaaaatience. Thanks again, friends!

I've tried finding my sweet spot with several of the pheros. The most consistent thing I've found is that a sweet spot today may be an OD next week. I've learned to work with it and start applying early and in small doses adding another spray, roll, or drop every 30-45 minutes until the effects are noticed (or I just think I've reached a high enough dose and may not be getting selfies that day). I suspect there's something cycle-related causing this, but was wondering if anyone else has to adjust with each use as well?
