Pheromone for Men Marilyn Miglin 1999

Such fragrances clearly belong to the "Love or Hate" category. The sillage is almost overwhelming.
In the fragrance pyramid, civet is not recognizable, but something about this scent reminds me of the controversial Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent. I strongly suspect that provocation is the number one theme here.

But how does one explain such fragrances, and what exactly defines this scent? I would love to know what Leimbacher and his associates (those who really know about fragrances) have to say about it. And I would really like to know what women think about it.

I don’t detect any basil or thyme, which I am familiar with. Hay is recognizable, and the woody notes are a mystery to me because they remind me more of licorice. Lemon is easily identifiable, but more like a cleaning product lemon. Yes, just like Mr. Clean. That’s probably why I associated a Kouros-like note. That could be.

I’ve been testing the fragrance for several days now, but my nose seems not well-trained enough, even though the scent is incredibly strong. Two sprays are enough, and you smell completely drenched. That’s quite astonishing. So caution is definitely the mother of porcelain.

What I really like about the scent is its uniqueness, its animalistic note, its provocative nature. But you really have to wait and see how the environment reacts to this little potion. To be honest, I don’t really dare to wear this in the office because it’s so strong, and you don’t want to disturb anyone.

What’s brilliant is what lingers on the clothes from the fragrance. That’s totally addictive, and you want to keep sniffing it. It’s breathtakingly delicious.

It’s clear that the fragrance only becomes really good after about 30 minutes. The opening is just too vulgar and too strong. But after about 30 minutes, it’s simply superb.
The fragrance is NOT a gourmand scent, rather an animalistically charged provocateur that definitely requires a lot of courage and audacity from the wearer. It’s not the typical perfume for a man.

Apparently, women love this scent on a man, at least if you read the comments in U.S. shops. Here are some excerpts:

Smells Great On My Husband

Daily use, A little goes a long way. I have many compliments on this product. Women enjoy the fragrance. What more needs to be said...

It is a fragrance that catches the olfactory senses of most people, especially females. Long after I can't smell it, I get compliments on how nice it is.

I have tried a lot of fragrances over the years, but this is by far the best and most complimented cologne that I have ever had. There are women who come to my office (or get on an elevator after me) just to get a whiff! This cologne absolutely drives women wild, and is appropriately titled "Pheromone" (which is based upon the natural biologically erotic scent that a male gives off which promotes intimate desires in females).

The comments about women going wild for this little potion just keep going. But there are also haters.

Whether it drives women wild, I still don’t know. It could very well be because the sillage is strong and the scent is incredibly provocative and even obscene.
So that’s what you read the most about it. But there are also those who hate it. Clearly. The scent is special. Similar to the controversial Kouros, although you wouldn’t immediately label it as toilet water.

Conclusion:
How this fragrance develops after about 30 minutes is simply explosive. I can’t explain it, but it really smells amazing and is unlike any scents I know. Definitely animalistic. I like the scent even though I can’t recognize anything from the fragrance pyramid. I don’t detect anything except maybe hay, lemon, and very faintly honey. But you really can’t make much sense of it. The longevity, sillage, and development are really very good and strong. That’s rarely so pronounced.

The fragrance is certainly intriguing, and I will later add my experiences in the office and with women. This little potion definitely needs to be kept an eye on, as there seems to be more to it than one would suspect.
