Do sprays sit on skin or absorb in?

[Neurokinetic]

This is probably a dumb question but and that's fine. Let me elaborate a little bit. When I spray my Ascend (w/ cops) on my skin it seems to "sit" there longer, the spot where I sprayed stays wet much longer vs when I spray say Celebrity or Evolve, the spray point evaporates/dries much much quicker. Is this normal? I feel like I'm missing something and thought it'd be best to ask rather than assume.

First of all dumb questions don't exist, dumb answers instead for sure do exist!

Every (or almost every) blend contains a certain amount of dpg (Dipropylene glycol) which is a synthetic oil.

Since your Ascend is with cops I can imagine the added cops are also dpg based which increases the dpg contend of Ascend thus the dry down takes a bit longer compared to your other blends.

To answer your question now I would say: Yes, it's normal because alcohol evaporates quicker than oil.
I have some LPMP blends in 60/40 alcohol to dpg and they behave exactly as you mentioned.

Any other opinion on this?

i would say the sprays sit on the skin, sometimes i spray my pheros XS over my lpmp oils and the results are just as good!

tonight i sprayed celebrity over lumina oil and in therapy my therapsit told me my IQ is higher than the norm,he told me my IQ is 130 lol
not sure if it's the pheros that work lol

[eroque]

well your therapist got hit by your celebrity vibe, so it could be that the iq comment was a compliment, je je je

[Coconut]

maybe lumina and celebrity gives you a higher IQ not sure lol

[Cheerio]

This is not a dumb question at all, I'm curious about that as well. I always wonder if when I spray if it just sits on my skin and wherever it drips to or if he just pours into my pores, lol.

[LegendaryCharisma]

Ive wondered about this also.
I figured it probably sits on top but I guess I dont know fr

[Phaethon]

In my opinion the pheromones do sit on the skin. If they would be absorbed to the skin they could not disperse to the air imho
If I do recall correct some members on pherotalk forum (old AD forum) mentioned they sprayed certain blends on their pillows for self effects.

I was wondering about this. I need to buy more of their oils

[Neurokinetic]

It seems the general consensus is that the sprays "sit" on the skin. As yet another follow up question, how might this affect wearing a pheromone blend in the rain?

[Phaethon]

As far as it is not a soapy rain I wouldn't worry about that

[eroque]

Hi people!. Neurokinetic dpg and alcohol will eventually be absorbed by the skin, skin is like a sponge , every tipe of liquid u put into will be absorbed sooner or later. Some substances will be absorbed faster than others.

I'm not sure on relevance but I use exclusively oil based perfume. I've noticed that spraying pheros on top of them does wonders for both diffusion and longevity of the phero I wear.

[eroque]

the oil based perfumes u use is the base made of synthetic oils such as DPG, or naturals such as FCO, etc? also are they made using natural aromas or synthetic fragrances?

[SecretV]

My perfume is made with natural oils and fragrances.

[SecretV]

That is the most hippie thing I said this week

[eroque]

thats great, i cheer and approve oil perfumes made with naturals. perfumery is a hoobie of mine. i love rose and lotus absolutes, cinnamon co2 and some woods.

[NuTrix]

The answer is...Yes.

Or, rather, Both.

eroque is correct. Your skin will ALWAYS absorb some portion of whatever you apply to it.

SteveO's DT is very impressive in how it helps to lift and disperses XS blends but you will always "lose" a little something because it will adhere to you.
That's part of why those stinky mones are so notoriously difficult to scrub off

I'm very big on being organic. This is my guilty pleasure. I'm hoping that my lessening of environmental toxins in other parts of my daily life is allowing my indiscretions with perfumer's alcohol, dpg and pheromones

While the alcohol evaporates relatively well, the pheromone molecules linger. So, yes, the sprays sit on the skin, but there is also always some abosorbtion

[SecretV]

NuTrix and what do you think to oil based pheros and dispersion of blends applied on top?

[NuTrix]

I have used LPMP for years and love their oil blends. I have as much as possible from XS in oils too. I think combining them is great. The alcohol will always help lift the blends and then you have the "slow burn" of the oil base (or lotion too, if you put on moisturizer rather than a fragrance oil or dpg).

[Tigris]

What about layering the same spray over the the same pheromone oil? Say XiSt spray on top of XiSt oil. Would that possibly give the benefits of both while not causing any risk of contrasting effects? I haven’t tried this or read about it anywhere, but, I’m curious of the effect.

[Phaethon]

Would that possibly give the benefits of both while not causing any risk of contrasting effects?

LPMP for instance offer their blends in 60/40 alcohol/dpg ratio just because of this reason, you get the benefits of both bases.

[Tigris]

Thanks! Sounds like something to look into. I’m just getting acquainted with oils. Before my recent Flirt Oil I had only used a two other oil products from other vendors. One in a dropper form and the other rollerball. I like the quicker hits from sprays but appreciate the strength and longevity oils provide. Oye so many lovely choices. Lol
