WHY DID I GET NEGATIVE EFFECTS FROM PHEROMONE PRODUCT?

Let’s talk about something most people never expect:
pheromones can backfire.
Yes — even good blends. Even used “correctly.”
And the reasons why are some of the most fascinating parts of human chemistry.

Here’s a true case that many testers recognize. 

A guy decides to try a dominance-heavy pheromone blend.
He’s excited — he thinks it will make him look confident, strong, attractive.
He applies five sprays.
Five.
Already a mistake.

He walks into a café, expecting attention… and instead he gets avoidance.
People look away.
Barista becomes stiff and overly professional.
A couple actually moves to another table.

He didn’t become “alpha.”
He became intimidating.

And that’s the point:
Some pheromones amplify confidence — but too much amplifies pressure, tension, even aggression.
Not because the guy is aggressive, but because the chemical message became too strong for the environment.

Another example:
Someone uses an emotional comfort pheromone like androstadienone before going out — but he’s in a bad mood.
Instead of creating connection, it amplifies his sadness or heaviness.
People feel that.
They can’t explain it — they just sense something is “off.”

Or this one:
Using social pheromones in the wrong setting.
If you wear a “friendly, open, playful” blend to a business meeting, it may make you seem unserious or unfocused.
Not because the pheromone is bad — but because the context is wrong.

So why does backfiring happen at all?
Because pheromones don’t replace your signal — they magnify it.
If your internal state or environment doesn’t match the chemical message, people feel the mismatch instantly.

Here’s the good news:
Every backfire teaches you something.
It’s part of the learning curve all experienced testers go through — and it’s what helps you understand your own chemistry.
