Female Orgasm Releases Mones?

[DrSmellThis]

Same thing happens to me. By the way, I just received my EOW today. But I'm scared to apply it, the funk is just too much for me. Can someone assure me the funk will be hidden (1 drop of EOW) if I apply my Nautica Voyage perfume over it?

EW is nasty straight in high concentration, and no getting around it. I will say it mellows on the skin with time quite nicely, as most basenotes do. Here's what I learned from a great perfumer: Never judge any pure base note on the immediate smell, because by far most of them smell bad in the top note. The only way to get a sensible opinion on any base note is after a while on your skin, after the initial notes burn off.

Interesting. What would you consider a "high concentration" when talking about Essence of Women? 1 drop? 2 drops? I'm referring to drops from the dropper that comes with the bottle. I find that 1 drop is nasty when freshly applied.

I've also noticed a really strong chemical scent that smells like the chloroform we used to use in biology class to kill insects before putting them in collections. It also smells like nail polish remover and perhaps 1 other really strong chemical.

I don't know in your case, because the only EW I've used was the original lab version, which is maybe 100 times stronger than what you have. I never dab it on, but use it in perfume. Had to double and triple encase it. The best thing is to dilute it in strong vodka or another dilutent, say to 1/10 strength by weight (requiring a gram scale, ideally, to have some reliability and accuracy), and try it that way. Ventilation is an issue, of course. If it's still overwhelming you can dilute it a little more. Keep records of how much you dilute it, so that if you buy more you know how to make it usable to your taste. It does contain strong chemicals, although they are identical to ones found on or in humans. So those chemicals can be made friendly if you know what you are doing. But that's why the product is not recommended for beginners or anyone who's not prepared to deal with it. I think a woman can get away with wearing more than a man. In perfuming, it would be considered a fixative, something you don't want to smell consciously, but that is still there. I will give you a hint, though. Mixing it with a flower essence tends to neutralize the smell. Certain essential oils will neutralize the smell. Does any of this take a little knowledge? Sure. That's why it's best for someone who already has a little experience experimenting with scents and pheromones. Its greatest use would be by a professional perfumer. I personally love the stuff, but that doesn't mean it's not nasty in raw form. You could release an angry, feral skunk in your bedroom and it would be no worse than spilling a bottle of that.
