There is a negative stigma generally associated with pheromones for some reason. People will usually try just about everything they can think of before resorting to a synthetic pheromone spray. Tanning bed bills will begin to stack up and gym membership invoices will be coming in the mail month after month, but when none of that helps, pheromones are usually the final frontier for those that can no longer afford to invest in these much more costly endeavors. Once you begin using PherSpray though, you will wonder why you ever wasted your money on anything else in the first place.

PherSpray has capitalized on the latest scientific research regarding human pheromone production. While most sprays focus on anywhere from 2-4 different chemicals found in human pheromones for their formulas, with the more costly ones evening out around 7, PherSpray utilizes a whopping 10 different chemicals found naturally in human pheromones. What makes PherSpray so effective though is how highly concentrated the solution is. Some of the chemicals come in higher concentrations than others, as these are the ones that have been proven to have more effectiveness in the dating scene, such as Androstenone which causes women to be more aggressively lustful to you, and causes men to respect your power and influence as well. Yet, by using all of the other chemicals that it does at lower concentrations, PherSpray also has those notes and undertones present in real human pheromones that are sure to make you feel more natural and comfortable using the product.

If PherSpray is so great though and has such cutting edge appeal, you might be wondering why you haven’t heard anything about it yet. This is because it was just recently released in 2011. Pheromone users are known for taking painstaking measures to keep their privacy and maintain anonymity, thus it takes a little longer for the reviews to trickle in. Those reviewers that have used PherSpray though are already beginning to swear by it, and the brand has already established a remarkable sense of loyalty in such a short time.

Other pheromone sprays pride themselves on their discretion and lack of a strong scent, but the fact is, sometimes a man needs to smell like a man, and PherSpray really does the trick in this department. When you put it on, those around you will instantly be drawn to you by the powerful, masculine scent emanating from your body, and they will stay intrigued by all of the subtle signals that the pheromones are sending out. Users of PherSpray should expect to see minimal issues on the dating scene

Though it may still be a little early to report, it seems that PherSpray doesn’t have any glaring downsides at all. Even the price is remarkably low considering the amount that comes in a bottle as compared to what competitor products cost. Products such as Maximum Attraction Gold come with less solution per bottle and also have a price tag that is 20-30 dollars more expensive than the price of a single bottle of PherSpray. With that in mind, it should be simple deciding which one to buy.

With the amount of research that has been going into pheromone research recently, synthetic and natural pheromone products have been springing up left and right in a bid to become the best. Every year since the early 2000’s it has seemed as if the new brands have been heaping up exponentially. The sheer amount of products out on the market now makes it hard to weed out the good from the bad, but there are a few products which have always seemed to come out on top as well as a few newcomers that have been doing very well.

As a way of making sure that people in the market for pheromones are being kept in the loop on all of the newest developments and all of the finest products available to them without having to deal with all of the chaff, we have compiled a short list of the top 3 best pheromone products of 2011. Hopefully this list will be educational to all those who are looking to make an educated and informed purchase of the best that the pheromone market has to offer this year. All that said, we now proudly present the best pheromones of 2011.

3. Alfa Maschio

Coming in at number 3 is Alfa Maschio. This is a very well designed product developed by an Italian company that knows a lot about both marketing and advertising. The solution comes in a nice glass bottle and is a crisp clear mixture of pheromones and cologne that promises to sexually awaken aggressive women of all ages and cause them to be very attracted to the wearer. The company is also very upfront about all of the ingredients in their solution which is rare in this particular industry and should be noted as a positive thing. While there is some dispute as to the claims that Alfa Maschio makes about being able to attract women, it is still a consumer favorite and has gotten very positive reviews. This customer support, along with strong sales figures, are what makes Alfa Maschio a shoe-in for number 3 on the list of the best pheromones of 2011.

2. PherSpray

PherSpray is a product which has just made its way into the online market fairly recently. It maintains a formula which is reported to be much more effective then the pick for third place, Alfa Maschio and comes in at around 30 dollars cheaper than that to boot. Despite the fact that it is new on the market, positive reviews for PherSpray have been flying in left and right, so much so that vendors are having trouble keeping it in stock. PherSpray has a winning formula that will have women swarming to you after just a single spray which is what makes this the number two pick for the best Pheromones of 2012.

1. PherX

PherX takes the first place in the list of the best Pheromones of 2012. It has been on the top of the pheromone food chain since it was established in the market in 2002, and has shown no signs of letting up in quality. A constant stream of positive reviews has been flooding in ever since it appeared in online stores, and these have not let up, even 9 years later. Customers are still satisfied with the balance that PherX provides and it is part of what PherX prides itself on so much. Their delicate formula helps bring in respect to men in the business place and fuels raw sexual energy in the bedroom. After using PherX, those that women normally wouldn’t give a second glance to will start to see much more dating success than they could have ever imagined. This is the core reason that PherX is the number 1 choice for the best pheromones of 2011, in its entire time on the market, it has not been surpassed, and 2012 has been no exception to that.

Realm pheromones have been a pretty hot ticket in the industry recently, and it’s not hard to see why. Erox, the creators of the product, have been pushing it pretty heavily ever since they released it. You can also see that they have put a great deal of effort into making it appear as if it were average cologne having nothing to do with pheromones at all. It comes in a sleek well designed bottle and unlike most sprays it comes in clear glass rather than a metallic or plastic container. The color of the liquid is amber so that to anyone that were to see a person using it, it appears as if it is just regular scented cologne.

This alone presents itself as a major advantage that Realm has over the competition. One of the most important things to know about pheromone use is the fact that it is something which most people try to hide. No matter how well the spray works or how reputable the company is, if someone is caught spraying pheromones on themselves they will usually be looked down upon for failing to be able to attract women without chemical assistance. Even though this viewpoint usually comes from people that are horrendously misinformed about the origin and purpose of pheromones, it is beside the point. What matters is that people that use pheromones do not want to let the magic wear off by giving away their secrets to others, especially not to the person they are attempting to date or the women they are trying to attract.

This usually leads to people putting on a spray or two before going out, but if it is a long night, then the pheromones might wear off over the course of it. You could take your spray with you but you would have to apply it in secret so that nobody notices you. If you have a bottle of realm though, it looks so classy that you could whip it out and put it on right in front of your date, it would smell good and it would look legitimate too, and they would be none the wiser to your true secret. This alone is something which makes Realm especially noteworthy. However when getting into the nuts and bolts of the discussion about this particular cologne, it appears there is nothing special about the chemical makeup.

The pheromone spray turns out to be fairly watered down in its composition and is not that much better than some of the cheap weaker brands on the market. On top of that, the price is fairly expensive for one bottle. It may come with a lot in it, but most people do not want to stick to one brand for so long and would prefer to pay less money for less pheromone than to put such a large investment in something they are not sure about.

Sure it may smell amazing and sure it may come in a nice and professional looking package, but if the pheromones really worked, it wouldn’t need to smell nice. And having the ability to take the cologne out right in front of your lady friends isn’t that big of a deal when you consider that you could pay a third of the price of Realm for a bottle of PherX or PherSpray, and then be able to use a product which would last so long you wouldn’t need to take it with you anyway. Realm may have its advantages, but it still has a lot of tweaking to do before it can stack up against competitors.

Marilyn Miglin takes pride in the fact that their pheromones are specifically tailored for women. Most pheromone products tend to focus on the male market, by manufacturing chemicals designed to attract females. The pheromones that the male body produces are starkly different from those that the female body produces, thus, for a long time the completely valid market for women went ignored.  While Marilyn Miglin is nowhere near the first company to enter into this market, nor did they manufacture the first pheromone marketed specifically towards women, they are still a major contender in the business, and the fact that they have done so in a strictly female market is quite admirable. Statistically speaking, not as many women consume pheromone products as men do, meaning that for a company like Marilyn Miglin to stay in business, they must be doing something right. Taking a closer look into the Marilyn Miglin formula, there are some very great things about it, along with things that are not so great.

The most important thing to note about Marilyn Miglin’s “Pheromone” is that this is simply a title. As enticing as the scent of the product may be, it is merely a perfume and contains no actual human pheromones. For some this can be a good thing, as the thought of using human pheromones can be a bit off-putting. However if you’ve ended up here reading this article then you are probably not looking for a standard grade fragrant perfume, but something with a little extra kick. Thus, if you are in the market for pheromones and end up buying this, you will be sorely disappointed in your purchase.

Also, the recommended usage of Marilyn Miglin Perfume is for romantic occasions. This means that the perfume is to be used when trying to woo a specific person who, chances are, already has some feelings for you. Traditionally people that use pheromones are more interested in making an impression on as many men or women in a room as possible, not just to impress a single person (though obviously some people use pheromones on romantic occasions as well) which means that in most instances a product like this would alienate someone just interested in standard pheromones.

While many reviewers believe the smell of this particular perfume to be quite pleasant, if you are in the market for actual pheromones, then something such as PherX or Pherspray might be a bit more up your alley. If you are turned off by the knowledge that pheromone products are usually marketed strictly towards men, don’t be. You will be happy to know that both of these products as well as a host of other brands have turned towards manufacturing pheromone concentrations made specifically for women. Now there are even options for gay men and women too. Finally, taking into account the fact that pheromone sprays usually run about 50-60 dollars cheaper than what Marilyn Miglin has to offer, the choice should be a no-brainer.

Dial Magnetic is not your standard body-wash, nor your standard pheromone treatment. It attempts to combine both the lustful and invigorating effect of pheromones with the cleansing and refreshing power of soapy body wash. This is a good product for anyone that is very cautious about pheromones and whether they work or not, but true pros, and those that are a little more adventurous might want to stay away. While this body wash is certainly an interesting product which does things a little differently, it is by no means the end all be all when it comes to pheromones. There are some interesting advantages that a product like this possesses, but it also carries with it some major disadvantages as well.

While the approach that Dial is taking is a novel one, it is one of the more paradoxical pheromone products out there, and here’s why. All humans produce pheromones naturally. They are secreted in our sweat, our urine, our tears; just about every liquid the body expels contains some form of pheromones. However, the reason that we do not have members of the opposite sex surrounding us all of the time is because of the fact that we shower. Unfortunately the time of day when we reach our sexual peak is the same time of the day in which we need to shower it all off. Women generally aren’t attracted to all of the things that come with pheromones such as sweat, tears, blood, and pee, so we shower all of our pheromones away in order to get more attention, which in turn assures us that we will receive less, because all of the pheromones will disappear with the rest of the grime down the shower drain.

Dial Magnetic, despite the fact that it is a shower gel and meant to clean you, will just as easily find itself sinking down the drain the more you scrub and bathe yourself. By the time you towel off, unless you are okay with walking around with green globs of soap stuck to your neck and arms all day, all of the pheromones that Dial worked so hard to infuse to their formula will have disappeared down the drain with the rest of the soap. You will be getting rid of the pheromones at the same rate that you are applying them to yourself when you use Dial Magnetic. You will end up having to use a supplementary pheromone product to recover what was lost, which defeats the purpose of the body wash.

Even though the thought of a shower gel that literally makes you more attractive is a romantic one, it does not work well in practice. If you care about really seeing results, competitor products such as PherX or PherSpray have been getting good reviews and they do not require you to take a shower every time you need to put them on either. Maybe one day a successful pheromone shower gel will be realized, but that day is not today, and until then, a standard spray or oil will be your best bet.

True Pheromones seem to be one of the more prolific brands being peddled in the pheromone market if only due to creative marketing and their many sub-types. True Pheromones are much like Absolut vodka in the sense that there are so many different types within the overarching brand, like True Charisma, True Communication, True Love, True Jerk, etc. The list goes on surprisingly long. Whether it be blue or orange, flavored like lemons or blueberries, have a sans-seriff font or Times New Roman writing style on the bottle, a shot of vodka is still just a shot of vodka. In other words, no matter how the True Company tries to dress up and sell their product, they are still just selling the same formula that has been on the market for ages.

Don’t take this the wrong way though, after all, these products do get great reviews. Men that are fans of the True Company stay very loyal to it, and they are excellent at branding and making a name for themselves. Actually comparing the ingredients on the bottle though, one would be hard pressed to find much of a difference between some of the different types that they offer.

Human pheromones are very interesting. Scientists have pared down the chemical makeup and separated each hormone found in human sweat, urine, and other bodily secretions in order to find out which ones have which effect. There are a myriad of emotions that pheromones are allegedly able to influence. Some are great at establishing trust and respect for the person wearing them. Others establish lust and sexual aggression in those that catch a whiff of the scent. Still other chemicals help to wear down stress for others and make the person wearing them seem more inviting. The True Company has simply learned how to take each of these and bottle them in higher concentrations separately, with creative names and different bottles. For example, while a bottle of True Alpha will certainly contain the base pheromone chemicals that are found naturally in men and women, it will contain a higher concentration of Androstenone, the chemical known for helping the person exuding it become more respected and seen as more authoritative. A bottle of True Trust will probably contain a higher concentration of Beta-Androstenone also known as the ice-breaker pheromone. The chemical composition of these products applies well to the names they were given.

Products like True Charisma, True Jerk, or True Radiance won’t be so easy to pin down though. In fact, no discernible chemical difference can be found between these and other low quality pheromone brands. Basically, pheromones offered by the true company are great for those that are well versed in pheromones and know what kind of effect they want to have on a woman when they use the stuff. But this company does not seem to possess a general more well rounded product like that which can be found elsewhere in products such as PherX and PherSpray which offer an experience more akin to what real human pheromones would offer without all of the extra fluff or confusion.

Again, True pheromones know what kind of market they are trying to reach and are experts at using internet campaigns to make sure that their product ends up in the hands of more and more men day by day, but when you want a product that is a little more trustworthy and comprehensive, go with a competitor.

Scent of Eros is a pheromone spray which is said to have a unique blend of ingredients such that the formula should work in attracting all types of women, young and old and of all different racial backgrounds. While it may not sound like much, this is a phenomenal step forward for all pheromone research, as it has been found that as you age, you become attracted to different chemical compounds in pheromones, and begin to produce different pheromones as well. If Scent of Eros really has found a way to be able to attract women of all demographics indiscriminately then they deserve a hearty round of applause for the accomplishment. But is there any truth to their claim?

It turns out that for the most part, Scent of Eros is just a standard watered down product that is being passed off as a game-changing new addition to the Pheromone market. In reality there is nothing about the chemical makeup to suggest that it is any different than competitor products in what it does. The only difference would be in concentration of active ingredients.

Despite the slight empty promise, Scent of Eros did seem to be receiving a fairly significant amount of sales towards the end of their first sales quarter. However, it is likely that they are going to experience a huge drop in sales after people use their product and realize that it doesn’t work to the effectiveness promised. Purchasing pheromones online can really be a crapshoot sometimes. On the one hand there are plenty of brands out there that have already been doing well and seem to be getting good reviews which seem like great purchases. On the other hand there are new brands being brought in every day just like Scent of Eros, that make promises which the other brands can’t make, causing these brands to come off as more enticing than the more popular methods.

People that purchase Scent of Eros hoping to find something very different than what they get in other brands probably will be disappointed in what they actually get out of the experience. Scent of Eros uses the same formula popularized by brands such as maximum attraction gold and Chikara which have all gotten lukewarm to negative reviews from customers. Scent of Eros may or may not do the job according to how divided reviews are for this particular product. However, when a product costs as much as 50 dollars per bottle, most people are not willing to take the chance that it might not work. If you want to be sure that you are getting the best quality out there, then go for a competitor such as PherX or PherSpray. These are two products which have been getting mostly positive reviews and have much more longevity than Scent of Eros. PherSpray will give you greater quality for the same price and PherX will do the same for half the price. But these are just two examples. There are a lot of improvements that Scent of Eros can afford to make, and they aren’t just in the area of marketing either.

Scent of Eros is a Pheromone product that tries hard to look like the designer pheromone sprays that have already made their mark on the business, but instead what the buyer is left with is a product that looks more like an old can of spray paint with some cheesy graphics on it. Of course pheromone consumers value discretion highly, so it is not as if this product will be making its way outside of bathrooms and medicine cabinets anytime soon. As far as looks go, there is little to worry about. Oftentimes though, the outer appearance of a product is indicative of the quality of the overall experience no matter how many times you tell yourself not to judge a book by its cover. Is Scent of Eros another product that falls short of the mark, or does it live up to its expectations?

The product has been successfully marketed so far, with impressive sales figures, but as far as reviews are concerned, people still seem to be on the fence about whether it actually works or not. Some men have seen excellent results while others accuse those men of falling prey to the placebo effect. There are some major claims being made by the manufacturers about the product’s capability to help men attract more women using solely the power of Scent of Eros. However, they do not make their formula readily available on their website as the more reputable brands do. One has to wonder why such a winning formula that could be easily trademarked is being kept such a secret. Especially when it is something that customers are putting on their bodies.

According to the ingredients on the bottle, it contains Androstenone, Androsterone, and Androstenol, all chemicals known to be found in real human pheromones. Each of these chemicals is known to produce a certain effect at high enough levels, but the problem is, each of these chemicals produces such a distinctly different effect that it might be hard to find a concentration is such a small bottle that will allow all of them to work. Of course the inactive ingredients involve water and alcohol as with most of the leading brands on the market, but without actual percentages, we have no way of gauging whether there are enough pheromones in the mixture to actually have a pronounced effect or whether the mixture is made up of mostly inactive ingredients.

It has been reported by consumers that this product is great for helping shy guys meet girls, but again this has been criticized as being susceptible to the placebo effect. The formula here is not as trusted, up-front, or as strong as that of other leading pheromone solutions like PherX or PherSpray for example. Even though there is an impressive amount offered per bottle (nearly 30 ml) one has to wonder how much of it is water and how much of it is pheromones. A bottle of PherX contains the same amount as a bottle of Scent of Eros and comes at half the price just for purposes of comparison, which does not say good things about scent of Eros considering how weak their formula is in comparison as well.

Pure Instinct is a pheromone product that has only recently thrown its hat in the ring, so to speak. Their claim is that women will feel more at ease around you when you use the product and that dating will become much easier. The bottle that it comes in has a much more flowery font and very inoffensive illustrations making it look more like a woman’s perfume than a man’s best friend which is what it tries to be. Unfortunately it is hard to judge just how effective Pure Instinct is since actual reviews are sparse and the product itself is so new to the scene. Some men have allegedly used it to great success, but it seems that an overwhelming majority were left wondering whether Pure Instinct helped out at all or whether it was just another bottle of water and alcohol like so many other pheromone brands turn out to be.

Unfortunately their concerns are much more real than a consumer would like to imagine, since as it turns out, the active ingredients can’t be found anywhere on the bottle. There is a small script stating that it contains chemicals which are found in real human pheromones, but this is the only evidence that there is anything worthwhile in the solution and to a skeptic this information sounds shaky at best.

The price is very cheap. It usually sells for about 26 dollars per bottle for a 15 ml bottle, but a few internet searches can bring up merchants that will sell the product on sale for as low as 9 dollars. With some of the leading competitor products out there like PherX and PherSpray selling for 25 dollars for a 30 ml bottle and 50 dollars for a 30 ml bottle respectively, one has to wonder what it is that makes Pure Instinct so much less expensive. PherX is one of the cheapest and most effective pheromone solutions on the market, so it hardly makes sense that a product such as Pure Instinct is able to undercut their already low price by two thirds if it is as effective.

When it comes to decision making time though, most people want to stick with a more legitimate company that they know will be able to serve their needs. Based on how low the price is and the lack of information on the bottle, it is quite possible that Pure Instinct is indeed a solution made up of nothing more than alcohol and water. The fact is a business model that utilizes quality products would not be able to sell for such a low price. Therefore, whether Pure Instinct will work for you is a gamble. A gamble that only costs you nine dollars is not a bad gamble to take, especially if it does end up working, but a product with such a questionable business model means that your odds of winning out in the end are relatively low. It might be better to stick to a product that has better reviews and is more trustworthy.

Pherone formula M-11 comes with a very fancy and scientific sounding title and it is one of the latest batches of pheromone colognes that have just made it onto the market. The company benefited early on from a moderately successful marketing campaign which helped to increase interest in the product to large proportions, but does it stand up to the claims it makes.

The claim made by Pherone is a large one, and one which most other pheromone producers tend to stay away from for good reason. Pherone claims that not only will rubbing it on your skin guarantee you more attention from women, but it also promises that continued usage over time will boost your body’s own ability to produce pheromones. This must sound too good to be true for those pheromone users out there that have a poor ability to produce their own chemicals naturally. But when something sounds like it is too good to be true, that is usually because it is.

The hard facts of the matter are that despite the scientific sounding name “formula M-11,” there is no research to support the claim that Pherone can help your body to naturally produce more pheromones. Taking a look at the ingredients included in the bottle, it seems as if it contains the same stuff that a standard spray or oil product of the same caliber would. While 40 dollars may not sound like much for a product that may or may not work for you, it only costs a paltry 25 dollars for a bottle of PherX and only 10 dollars more for a bottle of PherSpray, both of which have been getting rave reviews since their reception into the market in 2002 and early 2011 respectively. There is a lot more scientific evidence supporting the functionality of competitor products such as these in comparison to Pherone which still has yet to prove itself.

Those that love Pherone really love it, but people with this level of devotion to this relatively new product are few and far between and it seems that most reviews of this product are generally negative. None are too harsh, but you would be hard pressed to find a truly great review for Pherone. Pherone also comes in a very small bottle which is a major con, especially if they expect you to drop 40 dollars on this product, which may be another reason why reviews have been generally negative.

On a lighter note, even though it does not live up to the heftier claim about ensuring more pheromone production in the user’s body, it does contain the proprietary ingredients found in competitor products and in actual human pheromones respectively. This particular mixture chooses to focus on three of the four main chemicals found in pheromones which could be considered risky, but could also be considered an advantage. When there are fewer chemicals in a solution, this means that the concentration of each of the chemicals that are present will be greater, leading to more effectiveness. However, this also means that Pherone will be a little less balanced than competitor products like PherX. It is a give and take, but just don’t be too disappointed if you purchase a bottle of Pherone and it does not perform as promised. You have been warned.
