The Story of Pheros

[apple]

honestly you

should have expected it to sell that fast [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] great reviews even

before it was put for sale, and common its DSTs! even if less was mentioned about it im sure people would grab it up

knowing who made it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[bigdog]

With all the

organic fragrances it\'s a bargain too. 18 ml compared to 5 ml of NPA. If it were sold by another company other

than Love-scent or produced by someone other than the Good Doc the asking price would be higher IMO. Thanks Bruce

& Doc!

First...You go Doc!

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Second......Well, I\'ve never!!

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] Let\'s see...99 - 70 = 29

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] That\'s impossible!!!

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] How can something that goes on sale 1 April 2004, only have 29 of

the items left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? Where are these people getting the money!? I\'ve been saving for a month, with

hopes of placing an order on Monday! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Ooooooh! I get

it...If I had planned to order it on 1 April, it would be.....APRIL FOOL\'s on me! And if I couldn\'t order

until Monday, it would be...sorry poor fella! Doc! How could you not make at least 200 bottles...You know

you\'re everyone\'s hero, and evvvvvvvery one would be curious enough to try it!? There goes your Christmas

present from North Carolina, kiddo! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

What.............................................. .ever!!

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Gotta extra bottle hidden, that I can borrow?

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

[bigdog]

Well he probably

figured you\'d buy them all Mobley and he wanted everyone to get their\'s before that.

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[apple]

they\'re all

gonna be sold BEFORE april 1st lol (still hours left in the 31st of march here)

[bigdog]

Many thought the

unveiling of Pheros was an April Fool\'s joke. Looks as if the real joke will be on those that don\'t come onto

the forum until Apr 1 and try to order! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Id be willing to be

there is less then 10 left...

[burgerama1960]

I hope

this is for real. Everyone is so excited about it. They did a good job stirring up everyones interest.

[bundyburger]

It\'s

unreal how quickly it\'s been taken up. There must be a lot more lurkers than I\'d expected on the forum for

that to happen.

Bruce,

Has anything EVER sold that quickly?!

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

NurseAromaThat,

You may have to change

professions permenantly. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

[MOBLEYC57]

Okay already!!!

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] From this thread to the BIG NEWS thread...how many bottles are

there...100 or 1000? I sure hope I\'m not sitting here crying fa nutin!

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Doc? Bruce?

[burgerama1960]

I have

some stuff laying around the house that I think I am going to have these guys sell for me. What a response!

[bigdog]

I\'ve looked at

sights that have listed the fragrances he has in it. Not sure how well it will work but with the ingredients it

contains it definitely is a bargain! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

There are 100 Limited edition bottles, 20 of which are arriving

tomorrow, 80 are arriving on friday. There are 900 other bottles that will be put on sale, just not yet, they will

not be limited edition. That makes the total 1000 bottles.

[fran1]

only womens can smell

this!. Only females right? you understand, because I send you a private making you a question.

[MOBLEYC57]

Thanks Def!!

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I\'ll sleep better now. Wonder what\'s the catch with the

\"limited edition\"? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] What...ever!

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

[bigdog]

Only if you go to

a nunnery or all female college. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[bigdog]

The catch is

that it is in a bottle that the doc feels is the best cologne bottle ever made, he only has 100 of them and as of

now he does not have the option of ordering more. This is it. He hand cut and pasted the lables onto the bottles and

hand boxed them, they even come with his signature. Also, just think, this is a mix that took 15 months! to

make by an expert. Once its gone, it will never be reproduced...

[jose]

I ordered a few

minutes ago and I think I missed out on the 100 bottles, hopefully I\'ll get one in the Friday shipment.

[DefconX3]

The friday

shipment is still the 100 bottles, sorry to break it to you man.

No problem I can wait would have been

good to have a limited-edition one.

Don\'t count yourself out of the game

yet, Bruce hasn\'t announced that they have sold out yet, maybe you got one of the last ones.

[Sacogoo]

Again, better

not suck. I\'m about to pass out from the ingestion of too much alcohol, but all I can think about at this point

is gnawing on the hindquaters of a big ass buck deer and rolling around the evicerated tomb of some mummified

Egyptian deity and subsequently living the experience of \"PHEROS.\"

All I can say is that I\'m expecting

big things. If it doesn\'t live up to at least the results of, say, yeah, nothing as it sounds super sexy and

super scintillating, so I\'m just hoping that I can frolick with the rutting bulls if you know what I mean.

Now

I\'m going to pass out. Please make sure that the USPS doesn\'t spill my new Dr. Stank juice.

Yes,

not sucking was a basic goal with it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[dasentini]

....i think

everyone is too excited over a cologne that they\'ve never smelled or tried before. I wonder what it\'s going to

be like when the package finally does comes in for them...well it does sound interesting. Bruce, i just sent my

order in buddy. If crazy stuff happens to me like it does with the Alter Ego, then im catching a flight to go hug

the Doc and you personally for being some great innovators. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] No but

really, you will see me in the forum again posting a small fraction of the results(time doesnt permit) If the

fragrance is as sexy as it sounds, then I\'m good to go.

[CptKipling]

Bruce,

How

many people ordered more than one special edition bottle?

[Bruce]

Jose,

There are

still some of the first 99 left, so you will get one of those. The first 20 are long gone, so yours and most of the

others will ship on Friday. I am guessing we will hit 99 by noon or so. I will try to make that clear asap of that

happening at the order point, so folks will realize they are on a waiting list from then on out. Actually, I have

no idea when we will get reinforcements after that. Doc can tell us the details, but the way I understand it, the

\"batch\" of cologne is enough to fill 1000 bottles total, so there will definitely be more; just not signed and

numbered.

Assuming Pheros is a hit, I would be surprised if Doc *didn\'t* create something new and equally as

interesting. I just wouldn\'t expect it to be a duplicate of Pheros. Once again, Doc can tell us better than I

can guess.

Capt\'n,

Quite a few 2 bottle orders came through from the beginning, and we are getting a few

3ers now, so we are experiencing some stockpiling. I guess we should have anticipated that. This is new territory.

I figured the 100 bottles would last us until we got another shipment.

Bruce

[DrSmellThis]

Yes, let\'s

be rational, here. I am aiming for everyday usefulness, not a silver bullet. (If I aimed for a silver bullet, which

still wouldn\'t really exist, the product would cost at least several hundreds of dollars a bottle and be

extremely difficult to find ingredients for. If someone is the CEO of a Fortune 500 co., or a Sultan somewhere, pm

me. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ) No cologne is everyone\'s cup of tea, either. The product

is not a \"holy grail\", but is intended to be a well rounded organic boost to your natural chemistry, smell good

and natural, be sexy, support positive feelings of various kinds, and support other things we try to do. It is not

necessary for the product to be \"all that and a bag of chips\" to be useful. It IS NOT a replacement for AE, for

example! In fact, I usually wear it with Edge or other mones. What you may need to do is reduce your -mone dosage

just a little bit to compensate, as Pheros seems to lower the OD threshhold just a little bit, due to the

cumulative enhancement effect of everything in it. I usually stick to lower doses, like a dab of edge, if I

haven\'t washed off the pheros from yesterday). So it should help us be somewhat more economical with other

products. Sometimes I layer things with it (though not complex commercial colognes, usually).

It will be

interesting to see what people think of it, I must say, ego stuff aside. The smell isn\'t overly pretty, citrusy,

perfect or sweet (though it certainly has sweet aspects) -- but is certainly interesting and deep, speaking

objectively. Like I said, expect an earthy, organic, woody smell, not some better version of Amouage or Le

Male. It is possible to miss the point of this unique product. Pheros is the kind of scent that tends to grow

on you, IMO. I tend to find \"commercial colognes\" to be to overbearing or in your face with their pretty smell.

But others prefer commercial colognes. Having said that, I wouldn\'t have released it if it didn\'t get my seal

of approval. I\'d still be tinkering with it. It wasn\'t finished until I was OK with wearing it every day (or

most days). I accomplished what I wanted to with it. I\'m well aware of a couple flaws, but I minimized them to

the extent possible within the overall plan. It\'s finished.

BTW, I think it is possible to OD on

Pheros. More details will follow as people get their bottles.
