All pheromone brands claim their formulas are the strongest. None of them will publish a number that lets you check. This is the comparison no brand-owned site will run: all 299 products in the catalog, scored on one rubric, averaged by brand.
The spread is wider than the marketing suggests. The top brand averages 8.03 out of 10. The bottom one averages 4.53. Two brands have no product that clears 7.0 at all.
How are these pheromone brands scored?
One rubric, applied identically to all 299 products, with no manual adjustment per brand. The score is computed from formulation quality graded against research evidence, compound transparency, price and quality tier, and cleaned vendor reception. Affiliate commission rates are not an input.
That last point matters for reading any brand comparison, including this one. Most pheromone brand rankings you will find are ordered by what pays the publisher best. The brands at the bottom of this table are ones the site still earns commission on. They are at the bottom anyway.
| Brand | Products | Average | Range | Score 7.0+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liquid Alchemy Labs | 37 | 8.03 | 7.1–8.8 | 37 of 37 |
| Pheromone Treasures | 29 | 7.02 | 4.9–8.1 | 17 of 29 |
| S1CK | 17 | 6.76 | 5.7–8.0 | 5 of 17 |
| Love Scent | 23 | 6.37 | 4.5–8.0 | 6 of 23 |
| Eye of Love | 72 | 6.25 | 3.9–7.7 | 12 of 72 |
| Pherazone | 42 | 6.05 | 4.1–7.4 | 3 of 42 |
| PheroStrong | 58 | 5.06 | 4.4–6.5 | 0 of 58 |
| PherX | 20 | 4.53 | 2.9–6.7 | 0 of 20 |
Royal Pheromones is the ninth brand in the catalog but has a single scored product, which is not enough to average meaningfully. It's excluded from the ranking rather than handed a misleading position.
Which pheromone brand is actually the best?
Liquid Alchemy Labs, and it isn't close. It averages 8.03 across 37 products, and its floor is the story: the lowest-scoring LAL product in the catalog is a 7.1. No other brand manages that consistency, and most don't come close.
The community data points the same direction. LAL's product subforum on Pherotruth carries roughly 15,950 posts across 250 threads, and r/pheromones threads asking for reputable vendors name it repeatedly. Its top product, Voodoo for Men at 8.8/10, is the highest-scoring product in the entire catalog.
What earns the score is unglamorous: most LAL products name their primary compound, the formulas have thousands of independent field reports behind them, and the brand ships the same formula in multiple formats rather than repackaging a single base. Consistency is the differentiator, not any one hero product.
Which pheromone brands should you approach carefully?
PheroStrong and PherX, for different reasons, and both are visible in the numbers before you read a word of review copy. Between them they account for 78 catalog products and not one scores 7.0 or above.
PherX (4.53 average) is the lowest-scoring brand in the catalog, and its problem is what it puts on the label. Alongside genuine compounds like androsterone and androstenol, it lists phenethylamine and dopamine as if they were pheromone actives. Neither is a pheromone. Naming non-pheromones as headline ingredients is the clearest possible signal that the marketing is running ahead of the chemistry.
PheroStrong (5.06 average, 58 products) fails differently. It's a European fragrance-led consumer brand, and only 3 of its 58 listings name any pheromone compound at all. The published ingredient lists are standard perfumery allergen declarations with "pheromones" referenced generically. As a scented perfume it's perfectly fine. There just isn't anything disclosed to evaluate it as a pheromone product.
Pherazone (6.05) sits above both but carries the category's most-cited red flag: a "125mg per fluid oz" concentration claim. Pheromones are active at microgram doses, so that number is either impossible, meaningless, or heavily diluted. Pair it with a $500-to-$250 discount pattern and the marketing tells you more than the formula does.
Does a bigger product range mean a better brand?
No, and Eye of Love is the clean disproof. It has 72 scored products, the largest range of any brand in the catalog, and only 12 of them clear 7.0. Its average lands at 6.25.
That isn't a knock on the fragrances. Eye of Love is a mainstream lifestyle brand and its scents are generally well received. The issue is compound disclosure: most products name one compound or simply say "pheromones." Its best product, the Matchmaker Black Diamond Gift Set (7.7/10), scores highest precisely because it names three compounds where the rest of the line names one or none.
Compare that with Pheromone Treasures at 29 products and a 7.02 average, where 22 of 29 products name their compounds. Fewer products, far better disclosure, a full point higher on average. A big range is a merchandising choice, and it tells you nothing about what's actually in the bottles.
The S1CK case: good formulator, bad disclosure
S1CK sits third at 6.76, and it is the most interesting brand in the table because its score is being held down by something entirely fixable. The blends are formulated by Garry Nelson of Liquid Alchemy Labs, which is a genuine credibility hook that no other mid-table brand has.
What costs it is the labelling. The marketing leans on counts and branding rather than molecules: "20-pheromone micro-stack," "S1CK Human-Grade Pheromones." A compound count is not a compound disclosure, and some listings name no compounds at all. Prices sit high on top of that, with editions running to around $129.
The result is a brand whose best product, Truelove at 8.0/10, competes with the top tier while its average sits nearly a point and a half below LAL's. Judge S1CK on the formulation pedigree, and discount the superlatives on the bottle.
Which brand fits which buyer?
The right brand depends on what you actually want to do, and the top four split cleanly by use case rather than by rank.
- Best overall, and the safest default: Liquid Alchemy Labs. Highest average, no weak products, deepest community validation. Start here unless you have a specific reason not to.
- Best for single molecules and DIY blending: Pheromone Treasures. Its concentrate line runs $9.99–$39.99 with a choice of alcohol or oil carrier, which is what makes it the brand of choice for anyone layering compounds deliberately.
- Best established distributor: Love Scent (6.37). More retailer than formulator, but it carries genuinely disclosed products like New Pheromone Additive, which states exact milligrams per compound.
- Fragrance-first, pheromones secondary: Eye of Love. Buy it for the scent and treat any pheromone effect as a bonus.
One caveat on Pheromone Treasures worth knowing before you buy: several listings include DHEA, pregnenolone, astaxanthin, and oxytocin. These are hormone precursors and other molecules, not validated social pheromones, and oxytocin in particular doesn't do anything meaningful applied to skin. Treat those as experimental inclusions.
What separates the top brands from the bottom
Compound disclosure, more than price, marketing, or product count. Ranking the brands by how specifically they name molecules produces almost exactly the same order as ranking them by score.
At the top, LAL and Pheromone Treasures name their compounds, and Pheromone Treasures goes further by using the alpha/beta/epi distinctions enthusiasts actually care about. In the middle, Love Scent carries products with exact milligram breakdowns. At the bottom, PheroStrong names a compound in 3 of 58 listings, PherX names things that are not pheromones, and Pherazone publishes a concentration figure that can't be true.
That correlation is the practical takeaway from this whole comparison. You don't need the catalog to size up a brand you find somewhere else. Look at whether it names its molecules and doses. A brand with nothing to hide tells you what is in the bottle.
Bottom line
Liquid Alchemy Labs is the strongest brand in the catalog at 8.03 average, and the only one where every product clears 7.0. Pheromone Treasures at 7.02 is the better pick if you want single molecules to blend yourself. PheroStrong and PherX have 78 products between them and no standout in the group.
Brand averages are a starting filter, not a verdict on any individual bottle. A good brand still ships weaker products, and Eye of Love's best product outscores plenty of mid-tier competitors. Use the brand ranking to narrow the field, then check the individual score and compound disclosure before you buy. The men's ranked list and women's ranked list sort every brand's products together by score.
