The Hookup pheromone spray bottle by Pheromone Treasures
+ The case for
  • + Androstenone-led formula — the most researched attraction pheromone.
  • + 6mg per 10ml is solid concentration for the price.
  • + Strong social effects in evening contexts.
  • + $29.99 starter size makes it easy to test.
– Where it falls short
  • Not suitable for professional or workplace use — formula profile is too forward.
  • Four molecules is narrower than Captain's eight-molecule range.
  • Unscented — needs a cover fragrance.
The full review

Our testing notes.

The Hookup is built around Androstenone — one of the most studied pheromone compounds and the primary driver of sexual and attraction effects in human pheromone research. With 6mg per 10ml and four molecules in total, the formula is focused rather than broad-spectrum.

Testing was confined to evening and social contexts. Androstenone-heavy formulas can read as aggressive in professional environments, so we deliberately kept workplace testing to a minimum. In social settings — bars, casual dinners, outdoor events — the effects were among the strongest we've recorded from any PT product.

"Androstenone-forward formulas produce the most socially legible effects of any pheromone type. The Hookup delivers that clearly."
— The Phero Editor

The 10ml spray at $29.99 is the same entry price as Captain. The two products serve different purposes: Captain is the professional authority formula, The Hookup is the evening social formula. Many users who tested both kept both.

Who it's for

Men who want a dedicated evening and social formula separate from a daytime product.

PHEROMONE FRAGRANCE$49.99

Escape The Friend Zone™

A niche but interesting formula. Works best in existing social circles rather than new encounters. Score held back by limited review base — promising but needs more field data.
