The full review

Our testing notes.

Androstadienone, 'A1,' the so-called love molecule, is the compound the community associates with comfort, warmth and emotional openness rather than sexual pull. Pheromone Treasures sells it pure: unscented, 1mg/ml, in a 10ml dropper.

Its reported signature is the slow-building 'fallout' effect, a sense of comfort and attachment that develops over repeated exposure. DIY mixers add a little to soften and humanize a harsher androstenone-forward blend. As one molecule, it's a tool, not a finished scent.

-

With clear labeling and fair pricing, it's a sensible staple for building your own signatures. If you want something to wear, start with a finished cologne that already includes it, like the brand's Captain or Desi.

Who it's for
  1. 01 DIY mixers who want to add warmth and comfort to a blend
  2. 02 Anyone studying androstadienone in isolation
  3. 03 Experienced users who value transparent single molecules
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.
