We offer several base or "carrier" choices for our potions, perfumes  and pheromones. Oil, silicone, alcohol, and a 60/40 alcohol to oil  blend. How do you choose which is best for YOU? Here is a quick guide to  help you decide. 

OIL ~ * Our oil base of choice is Dipropylene Glycol - a clear, odorless, inert oil - it is skin-safe and hypoallergenic. * Oil-based products last the longest on the skin, from 6 to 24 hours, depending on the blend. *  Often, people who are sensitive to alcohol-based perfumes (allergies,  headaches) find that they have much less sensitivity to oil-based  perfumes. Oil-based products are "heavier", the molecules are larger,  there is less free-floating in the air. * Oil-based products wear  closer to the skin and require heat for best diffusion. As such, they  are best worn on the hottest parts of the body - the torso, cleavage,  back of neck, etc. (The hands and wrists do not generate a great deal of  heat.) You will find, that when your body heats up during times of the  day, that you will create a lovely "cloud" of scent or pheromones. *  People who live in warmer climates seem to prefer this base, as it does  not "burn up" or evaporate as fast as traditional alcohol-based  products. * Oil is an excellent choice of base for the more intimate or "sexual" pheromones, especially those that contain Copulins. * Our oil-based products are sold in 1/3 fl.oz. glass bottles with roll-on applicators. * Dipropylene Glycol has a flashpoint of 280 degrees F. It is completely safe for air transport or travel. 

ALCOHOL ~ * Alcohol-based products offer the greatest amount of  diffusion...it is lightest in weight compared to any other base, and  puts more of the fragrance or pheromone into the air around you -  capable of carrying for the furthest distance from your body. * Our  alcohol-based products are sold in 1 fl.oz. glass or metal spray  bottles, and is a great choice for those who are accustomed to  traditional fragrances and like to spray them on their hair or clothes. * Social pheromone mixes seem to perform best in an alcohol base, as it creates the largest circle around the wearer. *  Alcohol-based pheromones tend to last between 2 and 5 hours on the  skin, and usually need to be reapplied during the day for best effect. * Those who live in colder climates tend to prefer alcohol based pheromones over oil based ones. *  It is an interesting fact of the cosmetics industry that consumers tend  to use spray products more liberally than roll-on or daubed products,  as such, even though a 1 ounce alcohol-based spray bottle is equal to a  1/3 oz oil-based product in content, it is likely that the consumer will  use up the larger one, faster. 

60%/40% ALCOHOL TO OIL RATIO ~ * We offer this ratio for pheromone  products in a 1 fl.oz. spray bottle, to take advantage of 'the best of  both worlds'. The combination makes for a longer lasting product than  that of alcohol alone, and offers more diffusion into the air than oil  alone. The combination produces a light and silky spray-oil feel. *  This combination also significantly lowers the flashpoint of straight  alcohol so that it becomes safe and permissible for international air  transport, when in a metal spray bottle container.
