Editors' Choice

Max-T-150™ Copulins Wax Balm

Max-T-150 is an unusual one: a copulin wax balm aimed at men on the premise that smelling copulins can raise free testosterone, pitched as a workout aid rather than an attraction product. The testosterone claim rests on limited research, so read it cautiously. An inexpensive curiosity if you want to experiment.

Captain Oil Version is the oil-based take on the flagship: the same androstenone, androstenol, androstadienone and copulins stack in a dropper, for closer, longer-lasting wear. Like the original, it also lists oxytocin, which doesn't act meaningfully on skin, so judge it on the real stack. A transparent, well-rounded blend in oil form.

Captain is Pheromone Treasures' everyday social alpha, with one important correction. Despite the product-page language, the brand's founder confirmed it's androsterone-driven, not androstenone-driven. Androsterone produces a respected-authority, trusted-leader vibe without androstenone's aggression or unavoidable sexual edge. The community wears Captain as a reliable daily blend: strong in professional settings, comfortable with family and colleagues, and a proven pairing with Alpha Treasures when you want both social presence and attraction.
