Realm (1993)
by Realm Fragrances

Lavender and juniper berries. Has a vanilla vibe to it. Dunno about these pheromones though. Nice smell.

An 'explosive' scent. Another one of the colognes that I am always complimented on by the ladies and a few men asking (in front of their wives), what I'm wearing. The drydown is a classic old scent. A familiarity I can't quite pin down. Yet it is energizing in the top-notes. I feel great just putting it on and wearing it. It seems to have a great effect upon me when I am physically active. I consider this scent a must have!

So I too tried this inspite of the gimmicky and cheap "contains pheromones" gold sticker on the package. It DOES contain pheromones, as Myohoman noted, one of the 3 top attractants. It is a different one from that contained in Estee Lauder's Intuition for example. My wife certainly does react to it, (I haven't tried with any other females) but I don't think it will make a woman want to sleep with you...but it does help if you were already getting hot'n'heavy.

Now the smell...it took a good week for me to get a good grip on this fragrance...alas it is nothing new. It is a bit sweet and can come off as not masculine (go figure). But I think it is because of the pheromones: a man's nose almost immediately will block it out!

If you do like the smell and don't give a rat's 'patoot' (thanks Car and Driver) about pheromones, then look for and buy GUESS MEN (not Guess Man in the green bottle) the old school classic in the tall cylindrical bottle. The liquid is a dark ambery color and the cap and base is black. It is very hard to come by, but I recommend getting a mini bottle since it is VERY strong.

A blend of GUESS MEN and REALM? Arm yourself with a stick...it will attrract more than a fair share of ladies!!

PS: this combo can put you in a foul mood, so if you try it and you are ready to fight someone, it's your cologne fault

Firstly enough studies are in to unequivically determine that pheremones DO attract other people...
That said this formulation contains a significantly diluted amount of one of the top three attractants.
Enough to truly work? Depends on your individual chemistry...
Much better pheremone products are available if you are looking for that "special lure".
Scent is slightly berry/sweet and will not cause offence, but should be worn under something else like Varvatos or Vintage Varvatos as this scent is virtually gone before 3 hours are finished.
Recommended with a wink and a nod...

I have been using REALM since i was no longer able to find ANDRON, my previous #1 choice.

Although i am 65 years old, the girls still squeal with delight when i come into the disco (usually PURE nightclub in Caesars Palice, Las vegas.) Sure, i am reasonably cute and a great dancer, but its the pheromones that are turning the girls on.

It is my unconfirmed opinion that the pheromone component has been reduced since the original release of the product. This is entirely based on the
reactions i get from girls on the dance floor.

I have a bottle,I got it at Walgreens.
It smells great. On the Pheromones, that's NONSENSE!! I got it for the smell. I don't have a lot of stock in pheromones.
