Eau Naturale 1.1 – Pheromone Wizardry

"Our minds reach out to touch everything we see. If we look at distant stars, then our minds stretch out over astronomical distances to touch these heavenly bodies. Subject and object are indeed confused. Through our perceptions, the environment is brought within us, but we also extend outwards into the environment." - Rupert Sheldrake, "Seven Experiments That Could Change the World", pp.106-107

I really don't say this kind of thing very often, guys, but I'm telling you now: it's time to grab a cup of coffee, buckle up, and get ready for a rollercoaster ride of a report on what should otherwise have been--and by most objective accounts probably would still be--a perfectly ordinary Wednesday. I started out the day with one spray of my new Eau Naturale 1.1 mix.

Now this mix is a substantial variation from the 1.0 model. First of all, I added in more molecules -- DHEA, Neno, 7-Keto, and Epiandrosterone. I also tweaked more of the ratios than many of you (and most of me) will think it was wise to do all at once. Perhaps the biggest change of all was that I was all out of Androstadienone! You'll remember that A1 was the number one component of the 1.0 mix! I kind of expected this mix to fail, just because I had changed so much at once. But the tweaks were based on a good deal of previous experience with the molecules involved, and especially the way they tend to behave in mixes. Still, I never could have expected what would happen…

First, the mix. Where 1 part = a single drop of 1mg/mL concentrate into my 5mL sprayer, or .625mcg of pheromone per spray:

• 1 part Androstenone
• 2 parts Androsterone (previously 1 part)
• 2 parts DHEAS (previously 1 part)
• 4 parts Androstenol
• 2 parts Beta-Androstenol (previously 1 part)
• 2 parts Androstadienol (5,16-3b)
• 1 part DHEA (newly added!)
• 1 part 7-Keto DHEA (newly added!)
• 1 part Epiandrosterone (newly added!)
• 2 parts Pregnenolone (newly added!)

All of this scented with the captivating scent of LPMP's Love Potion #9.

The self effect at 1 spray is hard to believe! Just 11.25mcg of total pheromones and I feel so relaxed and confident. One of the mellower and more well-rounded self-effects that I've ever experienced! Not a rush. It's a feeling like after a great meal, where you ate exactly the right amount to be satisfied.

What is this magic?? Playing with ratios like this is a whole other thing than anything I've ever done before. The quantities are so small I can't believe the effects. As I write this I am still left feeling mellow and satisfied, and found myself being somewhat relaxedly playful, like a big old cat laying on its back and batting at a ball of yarn. As I write this, I realize that my style of writing is affected by the refresher spray I applied 10 minutes before jotting these last few notes. I am more naturally metaphorical and associative. I feel comfortably creative.

I'm just trying this out at the office, so my audience is very limited. Conversations with my boss have been excellently smooth. There's a kind of collegiality in this mix. Something inexplicably reassuring. Perhaps something of a southern gentleman here -- sensual, easygoing, perhaps slow-moving but still effective. Like no energy is being wasted. No wasted tension at all. Smooth experience. Some promotion of team ethic and individual productivity. My boss has been very stressed lately (bad things happening in his life), and this mix appears to have calmed him and helped him focus as well.

After work I reapplied 2 sprays (and dabbed on however much had leaked out around the nozzle of the crappy Androtics to-go sprayer I mixed it in). The feeling is amazing. I like everything! The rich, mellow confidence of this mix is astounding.  I could go on and on about it. I was going to try on some shoes and ended up dropping into a clothing store. I bought a whole bunch of stuff! Everything just looked so good. I could effortlessly see myself wearing things I wouldn't ordinarily wear, thinking about expanding my range of possibilities. I tried them on and ohhh yes I look great and feel comfortable in that :D This is some kind of success juice. It expands a person's degrees of freedom.

At the risk of being accused of magical thinking, I will note that the whole experience seemed so peppered with serendipity that I wonder if this mix could trigger some kind of natural synchronistic attunement. A pheromone signature in resonance with the acausal connecting principles of nature?

Walking into the shoe store I had a wrapper from a coconut bar I was eating, and walked over to the counter to ask the checkout girl (who was in the middle of ringing someone up) if she had a trash can. She just said "oh it's on the other side" without thinking twice. I walked over to the other side and went right behind the counter and dropped my wrapper in the trash back there, she never even glanced at me. Not like she was ignoring me -- like I belonged there! This was an interesting effect I noticed a couple of times, a kind of natural occupation, belonging everywhere, no resistance, no boundaries.

Later, I had asked about a particular shoe they didn't have in the store, and ended up standing behind the counter with both of the hipster shoe clerks, with them going through every single page of the Dr. Martens website for me to find the one I was looking for, just so I could buy it online! There were other customers petering around the store! I felt so at ease and natural just talking with them and hanging out there.

This great day was capped off when, on the way home, a pretty girl I had sat beside got up and looked straight over at me and smiled really sweetly on her way off the bus. Like I had just done her a favor, or like we had known each other for a while. Not exaggerated, just subtle and sweet. We had made no eye contact or anything of the kind prior to her standing up. I was just sitting there fiddling with my phone.

And the great self-effects just continued on the walk home. My neighborhood looked so wonderful and I thought how nice it is to live in such a beautiful area. Happily munched on some dinner while catching up on the forum. Even my cats were unusually pliant, softly nestling into my side with none of their usual invasiveness (they're usually very invasive critters.)

There's something so very social about this mix that I'm having trouble breaking myself away from writing this even though really the report is done!! We're talking about some 5mcg of anol and 2.5mcg of bnol -- NOT a big dose of social molecules at all. But the DHEA and epi-rone no doubt play a role. And the ratio. The resonance. It's really the ratios, not the quantities at all. You can sort of power out some effects with high dosages, but if you have the right ratio there is no need. I'm actually really looking forward to wearing this new 1.1 mix in both professional and social situations. At 4-6 sprays this could get extreme. This stuff is powerful.

Today I wore 6 sprays of v1.1 to a huge art & design show where I was getting some Christmas shopping done.

There’s something more passionate and artistic about this mix than I originally detected. Several times people I spoke with immediately assumed I was also an artist. I was wearing just a t-shirt and some nice Kenneth Cole jeans. But I gave off a vibe that was very artistic; people wanted me to come out and visit their studios and even to move to their hometowns! (and I’m thinking about it! the guy said “people like us are everywhere out there.” People like us! I’d met him like 60 seconds prior! I love this!!)

There’s something very attractive about this mix also! I can’t even count the number of sexy women of ALL AGES who made deep eye-contact with me, smiled and mouthed a greeting, giggled nervously, struck up conversations. One very pretty artist who was 40 years old (and she blurted this out within a couple minutes of meeting me) took a particular shine to me, seemed a little nervous like she had a crush on me, initiated some light kino (with trepidation, as though she wanted more). She really got into talking with me.

The mix is slightly intimidating in a way that you just feel like the coolest guy in the room. Literally everybody I made an offhand comment to immediately opened up and seemed to want to talk with me much more. One particularly interesting effect was that even if I would make an offhand comment to a couple, BOTH of them would respond positively and want to engage me further.

I need to mix up another batch of this stuff already since my crappy Androtics to-go sprayer leaked like half of the juice. Next time I’ll use a higher quality sprayer. I’m torn as to whether I want to stay with the mix as it is to get some more testing in, or go ahead and bump of the Androstenone content by one or two parts. I’m also considering whether I should swap the erone:enone content, or leave the rone where it’s at and increase the enone. OR maybe I should leave everything as it is but add in a couple parts Androstanone? Any votes?

I really feel like this Eau Naturale experiment is improving my insight into what each molecule really conveys. When you have a broader spectrum somehow small tweaks make more of a difference, rather than less.

Like Androstadienone , I’m starting to think conveys a message that I’m willing to compromise — willing to forfeit my needs in favor of yours. This explains the self-effects, the effects on women, and to a lesser extent the effects on other men: the self-effect of depression is a natural part of the compromise mechanism, it keeps a man from feeling too entitled; the calming, romantic effect on women comes from the feeling that they are getting their way; and the effect on other men — what Pago calls the Fukushima effect, of kind of having to get away before getting irradiated — could be a mixture of status-reduction and a crossover of the self-effect onto the male recipient.

Androsterone I think more than anything conveys physical fitness. This is the original status indicator, after all, left over from the days when the meanest guy in the tribe got to be king. Too much of this stuff and people avert their eyes and do what they’re told. A little less and you’re like a prizefighter; maybe not seen as particularly capable in the modern context but you get the respect of manliness anyway. But balance it with a little androstenol, to signal social fitness, and you get a man who can not only lead and protect physically, but also socially! The beta isomer of androstenol seems to work similarly, but has more of a one-on-one communicativeness about it. It’s a kind of sharing molecule. I’d be willing to bet it’s produced in higher quantity in intimate situations than in larger social groups.

I wonder what the optimal ratio of Androsterone to Androstadienone is to give a perfect “harmonious, collaborative leadership” vibe…

And what ratio of Androstadienone to Androstenone might convey the message that you are a generous but ravenous lover…

I just got hold of a sample of rone sulfate, and mixed up a quick sprayer of it at 1x (.0625mcg). I'll be trying it with EN 1.1b over the next few days. I think now that I've got a solid and usable mix, this is how I'll try to mostly test new changes -- by mixing the base with new components on the skin. That way I can easily play with the proportions each day.

Incidentally, I just spritzed on another smidgen of unscented androsterone sulfate and noticed that it has a unique smell that is something like oatmeal. I've only smelled this before in one other place - Androtics P74!

It's too early for me to tell whether the effects are similar. The self-effect seems somewhat energizing and pro-social, and the dose range others have reported positive effects from (~35mcg) is comparable...

Yep, he became much more social after sitting next to me for that amount of time. He usually just gets up and goes back to his office after he finishes eating, but today he stuck around an extra 5 minutes just chatting with me. Prior to that, he barely said anything.
