I Thought Only Girls Wore Vanilla

Move on from this product unless you are a man who enjoys smelling like a girl or maybe you are a girl and like the smell of vanilla. This is a perfume, not a pheromone enhancer.

Use

Do you know what pheromones are? Have you ever told someone they smell so good and had them say, "Really? I'm not wearing anything"? That's pheromones at work. Pheromones are an excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species. Pheromone enhancers like Lure for Him are designed to draw out the natural pheromone. Some are attracted to it and some are not. The enhancers are not supposed to be strongly scented themselves, but instead lightly scented to enhance your own scent.

Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity

The can is easy to hold, not bulky or slippery, and it comes out in a nice soft mist. The product itself is not greasy or sticky. It feels very natural.

- Smooth

Taste / Aroma

Lure for Him must have missed that memo about the lack of a strong scent and the fact that they were making this for men. It has a very strong vanilla scent. It is so bad that I had to test it on other men, not my boyfriend (he can't stand vanilla). The vanilla was so strong, in fact, I was surprised I was able to get any men to try it.

Performance

Unfortunately the vanilla scent lasted a very long time and didn't actually wash off. It's like your skin absorbs it. I tried it out on about 10 men, all of whom couldn't stand the smell and they all got strange looks from women, rather than attracting them. After several hours the vanilla does turn into a musky smell, but it is definetely still vanilla.
