RawChemistry For Him, Pheromone Infused Cologne Spray - Bold, Extra Strength Infused Formula 1 Fl. oz

Excellent quality and perfect for layering I’m extremely happy with my purchase of the Raw Chemistry cologne spray and oil gift set. The scent is very pleasant, smooth, and masculine without being overpowering at all. It sits close to the skin and works perfectly whether worn on its own or layered with another cologne. I like to layer it with my main cologne. What I really appreciate is how natural it smells — not harsh, synthetic, or overly strong. It lasts well, especially the oil, and I’ve already received a compliment from my wife when wearing it. The packaging was great, and everything arrived exactly as expected. Overall, this was a great purchase and exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be a return customer and plan to try other scents from Raw Chemistry in the future.

I think I've been ordering this cologne for the better part of 10 years now. It's seriously one of my absolute favorites. Tried a ton of store brands and recommendations from fellow guys, but for some reason I can't knock this off my #1 podium. Gets compliments from female friends, girlfriends, my hair stylist, my dentist, you name it. Never seems to miss. If you're a regular guy looking for an "everyday carry" type of cologne - this is your golden ticket. I'm not a wine connoisseur of colognes. I won't pretend to know what warmth and presence and all the fancy terms mean. It seems to be intoxicating to my girlfriend to the point that she will even steal my pillows to smell it. The longevity beats anything else I own, and will stick to hoodies/jackets I wore a week ago as if I just sprayed it on. I personally prefer the concentrate as it's much easier for me to put a few drops on my wrist and then spread it around to my neck and arms. The spray works just fine, but the concentrate seems to last longer as I feel I need less to get the same effect. Also never had any issues with it staining clothes or anything along those lines. I wear white dress shirts a lot or white shirts under my other dress shirts and it's never stained once in all these years. Want a product that doesn't smell like the same 30 flavors of ocean water and whatever else the box stores are trying to sell you? Then give this a shot. You'll love the way you smell. I can't guarantee it or anything, but like... there's a pretty high chance.

The short story: It works, just don’t expect miracles. A little goes a long way, especially if they get close to you (arms-length). Not sure more product would attract faster or easier. The long story: I’m in my late 40’s, reasonably fit, still have hair (just thinned in some spots), and married. I eat very healthily, no milk, sugar or yeast. I take multi-vitamins and a lot of Omega-3. I consider myself of average looks, though people tell me that my voice and eyes tend to help me stand out. I never wear cologne or aftershave (I am clean shaven as well) nor anti-persperant, only deodorant. My wife is post-menopausal, and has yet to begin hormone replacement therapy. I also have a “work wife” for lack of a better term, which could easily blossom into something more if we wanted it to, but no, there is no physical contact or anything inappropriate , just a “connection”. Neither know that I have purchased this product. The scent is pleasant, and reminds of of baby products, but can’t place my finger on which one exactly. There is definitely pheromes in it as I get a slight headache when I put it on at first if I get a good whiff. The bottle is sturdy and doesn’t leak. I dab a bit on my finger and put it on my neck line on either side, or my forearms and occasionally on my chest. In my impression a little goes a long way, and the pheromes continue to work (possibly better) after the scent has dissipated. Before I used this, my wife would occasionally initiate sex depending on her stress level and how well she was feeling. Due to the lack of hormones there would be long spates where she was very disinterested and in general pain (she has recently gotten the results of a hormone test which was very revealing in terms of cortisol and sex hormones). The point to all this is that there is only so much that a man can do when women are like this. We had recently worked on better relations prior to me buying this product, and while that was working it was definitely approaching the “high maintenance” category (which is very unlike my wife), and slight distractions would derail it. My wife is in her late 40’s as well, and works a stressful and sometimes physically demanding job. My “work-wife” is in her mid-50’s and is pleasantly professional to all, happily married as far as I can tell, and apparently we have a “thing”, enough such that other folks started to make comments, so we have toned it down a bit. I definitely noticed more attention after I had worked out the day before, which tends to spike test levels, so she seems to be pherome-sensitive. This is all before using the product. After using the product, I would hug my wife and let her rest her head on my shoulder where I applied the product, and let her stay there as long as possible. She would stay there quite a long time and her mood would improve noticeably more than before I used the product. Recently she had to take a week long trip with our daughter and was also getting over being sick. While in an embrace, I mentioned that it would be a week before we saw eachother again. To my surprise she led me to the bedroom. After the trip, which was apparently very stressful, I though for sure that there would be no love, and she even stated it. A dab of product on my chest and neck, more hugs and some chit-chat and then I suggested. She smiled and lit up a bit, and then she was planning a grocery list for my daughter to get her out of the house. She enjoyed herself, although she definitely was distracted. I am sure that were it not for the extra help, this would not have taken place. The “work wife” definitely smiles just a bit more with this product when I get near her (arms-length). But the cake-topper was one time when she had to help me out with a computer issue and was standing about arms-length away slightly behind and to the right of me. She could see my computer screen clearly from her position. My boss was asking her a question and another co-worker was nearby. After a few seconds, both the coworker and my boss walked away, and no one else was nearby. While I was closing down the program, out of my peripheral vision I saw her move a foot closer to me and turn her head more towards mine. As far as other women, when I picked up my wife & daughter from the airport I had to wait a bit so I sat on a chair at the end of a row with 2 seats between me and the next person. I started going through my emails to pass the 1/2 hour before my family would show. I noticed a woman in her 30’s, fairly attractive and across the aisle standing and she did not appear to notice me. She eventually moved back toward my side of the aisle to the other end of the seat-row about 30 feet away and again did not notice me. Another woman, probably 50’s, then came toward me to sit and wait. She took the seat next to me. Within 5 minutes she started a conversation with me and we talked for about 30 secs before people started to move and greet folks coming off my wife’s plane. At that time the 30-ish woman walked by me about 8 feet away, when she got even with my seat, she turned her head directly toward me, and then when I met her gaze she locked eyes with me. At that time, my wife and daughter were arriving and I turned my attention toward them, but I saw the 30-ish woman make a “Oh, damn, he’s married” type face. I have found the best attraction to be from about an hour after application to about 4 or possibly more hours. I believe it would be different depending on body chemistry, and I believe healthier guys would get more out of it, as there would be more natural pheromes, as well as different ones, to complement it.

I've ordered multiple times/bottles and I'm super flipping picky about scents that I'll actually wear on a regular basis. This stuff smells AWESOME and most every female, with a personality beyond that of a doorknob or a gnat, that I get within nose-shot of me, tells me I smell GOOD! That's all you need! That's your "in" ....it gets You Approached (no need to be a creepy stalker or awkwardly drooling and stuttering-ly nervous) and it starts a conversation! If you're worth your salt then that's ALL you need and this stuff delivers in droves! I've found myself , many times, AFTER THE FACT, realizing that the girl that just came up and randomly starting talking with me/joking with me and getting free stuff like coffee or fries that I didn't order etc. etc. etc. was most likely because of this spray! After the conversation I'd think to myself "WOW, that was odd. Where did she even come from? Why did she pick ME to talk to out of everyone ELSE in the store? What was that all about? Hmmmm?" OR "she gave me a free coffee, that was cool! ...hmmmm I wonder if I could've got her number?" OR "that was the easiest, NO hassle transaction ever! ...and she was nice about it. Hmmmm?" Then after MANY MANY MANY missed opportunities, I realized it only happens on days I'm wearing this spray!!! "HaaaZaaaa!!! You big meat headed dummy! You've missed out on so many opportunities all because you thought these girls were just crazy!" (Yeah, I know most of em are, that's not lost on me, but these interactions are clearly different and "inspired" ...now that I know what I know. Ya dig?) (A little goes a long way) I use it and spray with my choice of other cologne for the day. This scent is pleasant, light and it blends in well with most everything I have on the Man Shelf. Conversely, this IS A MALE PHEROMONE! It's supposed to scream "Alpha Male" ...and it does! If you work in close contact with other "alpha males" (meat heads) you will notice they will either become nicer to you or more meat headed and try to prove they are better than you every chance they get. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! BUT, generally you'll get MORE of the niceties...your boss might lay off a little, become more friendly with you. You might ACTUALLY get the job you're interviewing for etc etc etc. All of what I say/suggest is truth and personally experienced NOT semantics! Again, the smell is VERY pleasant, NOT overpowering or "musky".....you're not going to smell like you're weird Uncle Ted that gets drunk and falls into the Christmas tree every year after being borderline inappropriate with the kiddies all night or like some overly spiced, well-done elderly, barely walking Depends advertisement. It is an OIL....not an alcohol base. Two benefits here...it absorbs nicely into the skin AND leaves your skin feeling smooth and healthy where you sprayed it on. Do NOT spray directly on your clothes! You're wasting it if you do and you'll need to buy a new shirt. That's a Double Debbie Downer! You need to apply directly to your body/skin for this to be effective! To The Manufacturer (Raw Chemistry): IF you read this, I think a lot of us who love your product would love for you to ease up on all the fancy packaging and fancy box that it comes in and pass that savings on to us in the form of a price reduction. We're all guys here and we don't care about pretty boxes we care about function and value. Just a thought. I'd love to be able to afford to buy this more often than I currently do. A lower price with just the bottle in some bubble wrap in an Amazon box would allow that to happen and (we'd)I'd be pleased as a peach, just the same as (we)I am now....even more so. ...and, lastly. THANK YOU! I honestly believe, with all my heart, that I am working the job I have now because I wore this during the interview! Many failed job interviews with no call backs and then I happened upon this "needle in a haystack" great job listing and fought for an interview. I wore this during the interview (I was beyond desperate at this point.) and I am now happily employed by that company!!! ....IN SPITE of now knowing that there were at least two other candidates that interviewed that had more experience than me AND they were ready to hire one of them! Thank you Raw Chemistry!!!!!!!!! I bought this with my own money and have used it for almost a year and a half as of the writing of this.

This cologne smells beautiful I really do like it. It sort of smells normal like an everyday masculine profile. But I wouldn’t say the smell stands out as it’s best features it’s the pheromones or the perfumist I believe that’s the winner here. Some may say the cologne doesn’t even smell anything amazing, but to say that the pheromones aspect doesn’t work would be a lie. I certainly noticed an increase in my attraction and I’m a very tough, hard shell kind of an aura guy and unless I say come over people usually just never get close or stay away. This had every single female in my personal life finally treat me and touch me like a normal man in society. Not once did I have to inform anyone to hug or sit very close to me, they just did. Another theory is that times have changed so much and nostalgia certainly could be at play here. if your anywhere past 30 this cologne does transport you back to a time long ago where you know you smelled this when you were younger and perhaps in the perfume store looking for the masculine sporty scent to wear, if that’s you you’ll remember this classic scent profile for sure. Today the lines of what’s masculine and feminine are being fought tooth and nail over which scents are masculine or which are feminine and the unisex supporters are the strongest fighters for masculine scents. This is clearly a masculine scent lacking all sense of femininity. So maybe such a classic scent rich in masculinity and lacking all of the sweetness found in most men colonge today is what made these women surround me, perhaps it made them feel a certain way, maybe they smelled a man as they imagined he’d smell. Maybe it was just plain old nostalgia and not the pheromone claim, but even if that is the case so what it still works.

I purchased this as a gift for my husband, and we are both very impressed. The packaging is sleek and looks high-quality, which made for a great presentation right out of the box. The scent itself is wonderful. It has a clean, masculine, woodsy profile that isn't too strong or overwhelming. Since it is oil-based rather than alcohol-based, it seems to last a long time on his skin without that harsh chemical "bite" you get from some sprays. I personally love the way it smells on him. If you are on the fence about buying a scent online, this one is a winner.

So I obtained a bottle of this product and decided to test its claims. I tried to scientifically approach this by documenting each day of use with number of drops, placement on my skin, weather conditions, and notable reactions from others. About me, hetro/male, 5'11, Caucasian, reasonably good health, non-smoker. (smoking can effect diffusion in olfactory senses, plus ya know will kill ya right?) I did not alter my behavior in any way. I remained open, pleasant and polite to all that I encountered and focused more on reactions from others. For those I regularly encountered I made particular note of any alterations from established known baseline behaviors. Rather than composing a doctoral thesis I summarized my notes by weekly observations. Week 1: 1 drop on inside of wrist, dabbed both wrists. Cool temps outside clear weather. Office environment, no reactions or compliments. Other venues included grocery stores, convenience stores, and medical appointment waiting rooms. No noticeable reactions or complimentary remarks. Week 2: 2 drops/ 1 drop on each wrist. Cool temps outside cloudy weather. No noticeable reaction or compliments from usual environments at work, or while shopping. Week 3: 3 drops / 1 drop each wrist, 1 drop spread across adam's apple. Weather was slightly warmer, sunny. Office environment had first indicators of change in certain women who were only a little more chatty than normal with me. Nothing to lead me to believe that interest was anything further than work comradery. Female gas station attendant was slightly more engaging but again, nothing which led me to believe it was open attraction. Week 4: 4 drops / 2 drops applied along jawline / 2 drops applied to wrists. Weather cooler, cloudy, some rain during the week. Noticed more open engagement in both males and females. Engagement was of friendly nature and not that of attraction. People seemed to approach more and office conversations lasted slightly longer than previous 3 weeks of observations. Overall, the scent is pleasant, the time it lasts however is very weak, if you can get more than 4 hours out of it you're lucky. I didn't want to reapply too much as past experience has shown an overload of pheromone products can "ghost" you eliminating any results you may thought you have seen. Just because the scent is gone doesn't always mean the pheromones are also. As for outright attraction of women, no I can't support that claim. What I can support is that once you find the right dosage for your body, and every body is different, so you will have to experiment, this product does seem to put some ease in people making it slightly more conducive to engage in conversation - the rest is up to your personality and intentions. Would not call this an attraction product but I would call it a "friend-maker" if you have the personality to take advantage of the social openings the product may reveal for you.

I like to layer my fragrances, so it's not just the fragrance that matters to me but also is it diluted in oil, alcohol, or water? So, if I see a roll-on applicator, then this is the type of fragrance that I want to really combine with my body chemistry so I put it in areas where skin touches like in the inner part of my elbow or nearby the more sensitive and warmer areas. However, when it is a traditional cologne that is clearly in an alcohol-based type of spray dispenser, I like that to be under as many layers of fabric as possible because I hate it when I approach someone who has that sharp aftershave kind of smell. I prefer the sweeter fragrances. The best fragrance I ever smelled or used is Versace Eros, which costs a fortune. I also have some of the infamously common Sauvage. The smell of this product is wildly better than it's nearest priced competitors for Pheromone based products. For example, nobody wants to admit that Pure Instinct smells like urine being masked by chamomile. This product has a sweeter and more immediately pleasing scent than Sauvage, for a fraction of the cost. I would even say it is a similar style of smell as Versace Eros. If you smelled them side by side, well of course the Versace smells more costly, but honestly this is a pretty solid option for a pheromone infused cologne that wont break the bank, but also does not smell like aftershave or flowers. That said, this is not a distinctly masculine fragrance. It just doesn't smell at all like flowers. This smells a million times better than your dad's Old Spice, and it will not make you smell feminine, but it sort of smells not too cheap and yet not too expensive. So I do like the smell, but I will say that the spray leads me to apply this under my shirt because a lot comes out, whereas I do prefer this type of fragrance on my arms. The people who are griping about the cost of this are people that want to smell like 15 dollar gas station oil. This product is a reasonable compromise between all the extremes you could go to in smell and the overall nature of a product like this. Now time will tell if it actually turns any heads.
