Diffusion and why its so damn important! (My Research Journal)
A pheromone blend is only as good as its diffusivity. Diffusion is the lifting of the odor molecules (pheromones) off the application point (skin) into the surrounding atmosphere exposing the odor to others in the area. The more diffusive a pheromone blend is, the larger an area will be exposed with potentially a wider swath of people. It is therefore the assumption of most pheromone vendors that higher rates of diffusion will be attributed to more commercial viability of their mixes. More people will see results, because more people will be affected.
This might seem like a logical conclusion, but like most things “pheromone” logic does not always dictate the truth. Pheromones are the gateway to human emotions and emotions rarely follow a course of logic. So why exactly would a higher rate of diffusion not serve the best interest of a pheromone blend?
To best answer this lets consider potential outcomes while attending an event in large space like a dance club with lots of wonderful happy people. The temperature is a perfect 72 degrees and other than body movement the air is perfectly still. The pheromone blend we are testing is highly diffusive and permeates the room quickly and completely. The time frame of our test is 6 hours, which is approximately the length of time of an average weekend night out.
In this test scenario we are faced with several “potential” shortcomings that you should consider when selecting the right blend:
The first consideration is because the diffusivity is with such force that the blend is already at its half-life within a couple hours. An unregulated rate of diffusion releases the pheromone molecules into the atmosphere, thus depleting a blend at a faster level. A blend that does not compensate with diffusion management will lose its effectiveness just about when you want it to be most effective.
Routinely, venue changes occur after 2 hours from pre-drinking at a local bar, before culminating the rest of the evening at a club or party. For our test we will stay at the same venue for the entire period. This does not account for any walking, sweating, removal of clothing such as jackets, scarves or other articles that might rub on the initial application point. It also does not account for wiping the application point or having another body rubbing this area if dancing or something else. There are many factors you should be aware of that can and do change the structure of effectiveness of a blend throughout the night.
The second consideration is based on the structure of the pheromone ingredients. Many blends are heavy on sexual molecules like Androstenone while sparse on tempering social molecules like Alpha-Androstenol. Sexual molecules that have more of an aggressive emotional response are also the “stickiest” or heaviest. This means they stick around or last the lengthiest periods of time while tempering social molecules are more volatile and therefore dissipate the fastest. With fast diffusing pheromone blends the tempering social molecules burn off the quickest which leaves only aggressive sexual molecules behind.
All of us have been exposed to advertisements that guarantee to get you laid or best yet, the most pheromone content allowable by law, whatever the heck that means. I’m sure you are well informed to recognize these as ridiculous claims. These are merely blends with elevated concentrations of unbalanced Androstenone, but isn’t that precisely what a blend is left as when everything else burns off?
The third consideration is maybe the most important. When diffusion occurs in such a way that an entire room is exposed to the odor of pheromones there is no way to trace the emotional response to any one person as would occur with silage or signature. A good pheromone blend will enable the wearer to interact with a group of people sparking an emotional response from that group.
The pheromones you wear are designed to elicit a specific emotional response. An alpha-leader blend like Ascend projects the wearer as someone who is confident and in control of their environment. This becomes your signature that pulls the emotions away as you leave the area. Your silage is the signatures cloud that follows you as you work your way through the room. As you get further away from a group the emotional response you created leaves with you. This enables that emotional response to be associated with you.
An unregulated diffusive blend, on the other hand, generates a cloud that permeates the entire area. This cloud is no longer able to be associated with any one person and is the catalyst for pheromone signature theft. Using our Ascend example of alpha-leader the cloud lingers throughout the venue and is associated back to the perceived alpha-leader of the crowd rather than back to the direct pheromone connection.
We at the XS labs (which is a two room home office I converted into a lab) have been researching some innovative diffusion technologies. What we discovered is a blend, while needing diffusion, also needs to have a level of control. The signature that is created is the direct link through silage back to the wearer. Without it you just have this big cloud that anyone can steal. This happens more times than any of us probably want to admit.
This is my journal of the research we are conducting here at XS labs to create the perfect level of diffusion for our blends. A balance of diffusion that creates traceable silage while maintaining a steady and even burn of both tempering and sexual molecules. A precise molecular blend that turn heads when you walk into any room and keeps them emotionally invested throughout the interaction from start to finish.
This is a journey of discovery and all are welcome to comment and contribute. I’ll be investigating fragrance aldehydes and the likes from the perfume world known for their diffusive tenacity such as Hedione (Methyl Dihydrojasmonate). I’ll do my honest best to indicate the molecule, its scent or lack-there-of, how it interacts in DPG or SD40B, whether there are counter-indications and most importantly how it works for diffusion.
I’ve already been investigating for quite some time so I have a small data-base of information to share with you. Some of these substances will never be made available via a diffusion package by XS as they are banned for commercial use by the International Fragrance Association IFRA. However I will provide sources where as an individual enthusiast and hobbyist you can obtain them for personal experimentation.
Diffusion technology is a very secretive and competitive field and it might get ugly. I’m here to advance pheromone technology to our community and I promise I won’t be holding back any secrets.
