Review (1/5): Really BAD Science marketed as a worthless product
The androstenone nonsense has been around since at least 2001 and not surprisingly internet marketers have cherry-picked science to make a
very weak case for this derivative of testosterone to turn your average make "6" into Brad Pitt.
B.S.
The facts:
The ability to even perceive the odor of androsterone is in all likelihood dictated by a single odorant receptor called OR7D4.
Not all human being s are even capable of detecting this scent for reasons that are not yet fully understood.
There are two variations of this receptor--RT/WM and RT/RT. Those individuals possessing the RT/RT genotype have been experimentally
proven to perceive androsterone as offensive: a foul urinous odor or one similar to heavy sweat. Those possessing the former genotype--RT/WM
report a less offensive odor, while a few suggest it similar to vanilla or a floral.
The implication of the Rockefeller study is obvious: you can't know who can detect the scent or who will find it offensive or, conversely, slightly less offensive.
Clearly, the suggestion that androsterone will attract women to men like moths to a flame is utter nonsense. It may very well be that even if you are drop-dead good looking
with a body like a Greek God, the woman you're attracted to you may be one who gets a whiff of a urinal when you approach her; at the same time, if you connect with a woman
"out of your league" (you're a six and she's a nine) it could be because you're sitting next to her at a bar during the Super Bowl, you're both Patriot fans and they win a nail-biter in overtime.
If she's with other girls (no boyfriend) she'll experience a rush of dopamine (The brain chemical that creates euphoria) which will give her a jolt of strong sexual feelings and you could,
under those circumstances, suddenly look like a nine to her.
The point: figure out a a way to get a girl to experience a dopamine rush and you're going to look a lot sexier to her.
