Alpha Androsterone
+ The case for
  • + Pure, clearly labeled single molecule at a stated 1mg/ml
  • + Very inexpensive at $9.99
  • + Androsterone adds calm, mature, respected status
– Where it falls short
  • Not a finished product, so it needs layering
  • The status effect is subtle rather than dramatic
The full review

Our testing notes.

Alpha Androsterone is one of Pheromone Treasures' bargain building blocks: a pure, unscented single molecule at 1mg/ml for under ten dollars. Androsterone is the status compound. It reads as mature, reliable and trustworthy rather than aggressive or sexual.

DIY mixers use it to add a calm, leaderly quality to a blend, often to round off an androstenone-heavy base into something more balanced. As one molecule, it's a tool, not a finished cologne.

Good stuff, reliable source. I make perfume for family and friends.
- Jeff

At this price, with the brand's clear labeling, it's an easy staple for building your own signatures. If you'd rather wear something finished, the colognes are the move (Escape The Friend Zone leans on this compound).

Who it's for
  1. 01 DIY mixers who want to add a mature, status layer to a blend
  2. 02 Anyone studying androsterone in isolation
  3. 03 Budget-conscious experimenters
How to use it
  1. 01 Using the dropper, apply 1–2 drops to pulse points such as the wrists, neck, or chest. These are typically concentrate formulas — start with a single drop and increase gradually based on your experience. A little goes a long way.
