Honeycake Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I am curious as to how this plays on women. What have your experiences been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo0073 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I don’t get any type of phero like effects from it. For me it’s more of a fragrance note only. It’s okay in a few things but not my type of scent in general. It can really change/influence/make a scent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeycake Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 So this is more of a fragrance type thing. I thought it was a phero. Thanks for clearing that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo0073 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 It can have phero like effects. Widely reported and accepted. It just does not for me. I know a lot of guys too who bought into the hype when another major phero company put it into every existing formula because he believed in it so much and most were disappointed if not downright angry that it did nothing for them and in some cases felt that it made the established formulas weaker. It may work for you, who knows. I know people who love it as a fragrance note seem pretty affected by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Halo, I have not experienced anything that I would declare "Phero like". I like the scent of it and one of my fave LP scents featured it prominently. "MOIST". I have worn Hedione alot. It is a head turner. Lots of "Wow! What's that scent?" "You smell great!" I have not tried it solo.Obviously, it goes very well with Jasmine. I really would love to try it with Mongolia. I think it adds a whole lotta umph to certain notes. Edited April 17, 2019 by StacyK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeycake Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 Thanks Halo and Stacy K. Now I don't know what to think. Maybe I should try a sample? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you like florals? It definately has a floral'ish edge to it. But, it also has a sheer'ish- ness (butchering the lanuage today) to it. So it can belend well into a scent. I tend to gravitate to the scents that showcase it. Its in both mens and women's scents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayla Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Honeycake, you can also check this list that Mara keeps of all present and retired perfumes with different pheromones. It's a good reference if you're looking for something specific. For hedoine, check all of the categories - women's and men's, current and retired.

Cycle Kitten Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Hedione on its own smells almost like nothing to me. I think that’s normal. I do like to use it when creating my own blends, specifically fragile scents, like citrus heavy. ( I love blood orange and jasmine together, essentials, heavy on the orange, light on the jasmine ) not a floral girl. Citrus evaporates so quickly, I find a bit of hedione gives them some staying power but doesn’t change the scent much. I’m not certain about having noticible phero-like effects, perhaps just a little of the “I feel pretty today” vibe. Hedione is a jasmine derivative, and jasmine is documented as an aphrodisiac. I love Tattooed Lady, purchased because of packaging, surprised that I love it as it’s not something I would normally wear scent wise. I wouldn’t consider hedione as a solo scent, there just isn’t anything there to smell on its own. I use it more as a fixative, or to enhance a light fragrance.

androstenol Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Everyone - I would love for folks to revisit this thread. We continue to have NR with hedione and I'm curious whether people are getting selfies from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 If you take joy in the fresh springtime air, lightly scented with budding flowers, then I would say you might get mood elevating selfies from it. I enjoy it a lot in certain blends, and when used at the proper levels. Too much and it gives me a headache, but just the right amount like in Domina Vere.....it's heavenly. It makes me happy.

luna65 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 In those fragrances I have with hedione, I find it's really sparkly/pretty and I like that lift against the other notes. The kind of happiness you get when you smell something you enjoy. Then again, I do like jasmine, generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
