PRIMITIVE™ for Men | Pure Androstenone
+ The case for
  • + Pure, single-compound androstenone for maximum control when layering
  • + A little goes a very long way, one to two drops
  • + Transparent and purpose-built for experienced mixers
– Where it falls short
  • Not a standalone product, an additive only
  • Extremely dose-sensitive, and overdoing it ruins a blend
The full review

Our testing notes.

Primitive is the rawest building block in the LAL catalog: pure androstenone concentrate, sold flat out for expert users who want to add strength to a blend. The brand's own guidance, one to two drops is usually all you need, tells you most of what to expect.

Androstenone is the dominance-and-presence compound, and in pure concentrated form it's unforgiving. The usual warning about it being dose-sensitive applies in the extreme here. One drop too many flips a carefully built blend from magnetic to off-putting. This is a tool for precision, not casual wear.

Good international delivery, high quality mones and the inclusion of samples is always a nice touch.

There's no review base to speak of, and there doesn't need to be. This isn't a finished product, it's an ingredient for people who already mix their own. Know exactly why you want to add androstenone and how much? Primitive gives you that control. Everyone else should start with a finished cologne.
