By popular request, my reviews of the alphas I've tested. Please see threads for more information. In no particular order...

TUSC:
http://pherotruth.org/Thread-TUSC-Oil
http://pherotruth.org/Thread-TUSC-Oil?page=5
Likableness: 3 Some shit testing, but others are crazy about me
Status: 4.5 Very good, garners praise
Social: 4.5 Deep sharing
Respect: 3 Good politeness but low-key
Intimidation: 3.5 Decent; novel effects; can be very intimidating or be very low-key; inconsistent
Self-Effects: 4 Cool confidence
Comments: Can be inconsistent; disinhibiting can cause problems in structured environments like corporations

Kane: For gay men
http://pherotruth.org/Thread-Kane-Gel-I-...gay?page=5
Likeableness: 0 Not very likeable. I made enemies with this; except for some women it's like 5+++ likeableness hehe
Status: 2 Some
Social: 4 Has somewhat noticeable social effects. I got so many dates with Kane... And YES, with WOMEN
Respect: 4.5 Great respect hits, people apologizing to me
Intimidation: 5 People rushing out of my way; very aggressive
Self-Effects: 2.5 Pretty amped
Comments: Unscented with a strong None smell, and it lasts forever; therefore almost impossible to cover.

A314:
http://pherotruth.org/Thread-NP17-s-Journal?page=15
http://pherotruth.org/Thread-NP17-s-Journal?page=16
Likeableness: 3 Paradoxical likeableness considering how aggressive it is, but not overt
Status: 4.5 Great
Social: 3 Has noticeable social effects
Respect: 5 Legendary; compliance; deferrence
Intimidation: 5 Can start physical fights between people at higher doses
Self-Effects: 3.5 Best posture
Comments: Lovescent 2009 version

Apollo Early Testing: This is a great clone of A314
http://pherotruth.org/Thread-NP17-s-Journal?page=15
http://pherotruth.org/Thread-NP17-s-Journal?page=16
Likeableness: 4 Same likeable qualities of A314 without the aggression.
Status: 4.5 Great
Social: 3 Has noticeable social effects
Respect: 5 Legendary; compliance; deferrence
Intimidation: 4 Very intimidating; my boss is freaked out by me, but more in a status kind of way; not aggressive like Kane or A314.
Self-Effects: 3 Good posture. Better with higher TAF because I get focus and self-control like A314.
Comments: Ekscentra mix

Bad Wolf:
http://pherotruth.org/Thread-The-BAD-WOL...ad?page=63
Likeableness: 3 Depends on the person, very likeable and attractive or.. for me... neutral at worst (when used solo)
Status: 3 Decent, but the status is different. It's not so much an alpha/natural born leader status as much as a celebrity status.
Social: 4 Great social effects; very outgoing vibe
Respect: 2 Fair, but not a lot of politeness or anything like that.
Intimidation: 3 Doesn't freak people out, unless they get a dark triad feel. See "dark triad hits" thread for details, though I've only noticed this with Kane + Bad Wolf, a combo I don't recommend.
Self-Effects: 5 Legendary. I feel like an ANIMAL.
Comments: Combos can be great or horrible. It's the most sexual of all the alphas I'm reviewing here.

Alpha Treasures and Ascend: I will review these together because I consider them very similar at least as far as this ranking. I haven't tested this a lot.
Likeableness: 4 Very likeable
Status: 3 Decent
Social: 3 Decent
Respect: 3 Decent
Intimidation: 2 Not much; this may be good or bad
Self-Effects: 2 Not bad. Decent posture.
Comments: Moderate is a good word for these mixes. This can be good if that's what you're going for. Both are slightly sexual.

Scent of Eros: Sometimes I combo'ed this with NNPA at work, and my memories blend together
Likeableness: 4 Very likeable, but a weak effect
Status: 4 I was the MAN to my black lesbian friend, but I think I noticed this more in combo with NNPA
Social: 3 Decent
Respect: 2 Fair
Intimidation: 1 Very little
Self-Effects: 1 Don't notice much
Comments: Good quality of effects and consistent, but for me it was weak

I also have an APi sample, and I still haven't really run my Captain or Atlas very much. I might add reviews of those later.

Overview......by the numbers :

A314.........4.1

Apollo.......4.1

Tusc..........3.7

Kane.........3.1

BW...........3.0

AT/Ascend.....3.0

Scent of Eros ..........2.8

Much appreciated NP17!!!

Thanks for this; good timing. I have been seriously considering buying BW; in fact I was going to do it yesterday. I'm not really looking for an alpha product (e.g the ones from other vendors) but BW self-effects sounds like what I'm looking for. It could actually be interesting for experiment purposes too. I am considered a nice guy and few years ago, people have said things such as "SDX wouldn't do that, he's a nice person" or "I can't see SDX being over-drunk, he's a calm nice guy". For the past year, I have been listening to Alpha Male 6 (I went through it twice) and even though I'm not even close to the descriptions in the sales page, I do feel that it has strengthen my personality and values to some level. Next week, I will start Absolute Self-confidence. It would be interesting to see how the combo of the subliminal Absolute self-confidence + BW self effect would be.

Thanks for the by the numbers, the law, but I just want to note that I don't rank them like that. For one thing, I prefer Apollo's effects the most at work because it is less aggressive. But I've been wearing A314 because it lasts longer. If we get a commercial release of Apollo, I'm hoping for a gel or oil. BW is ranked low, but it is a great sexual. I think Kane has given me the most success with women, though. As long as they're not None smellers haha.

All in all, the "comments" factor greatly into my overall ranking, which I didn't write in because each mix has a sort of niche.

Shadow, let me just note to you that these reviews ONLY factor my own experiences. I did not include negative reports of BW self effects or likability which some people rate quite low especially people pleasers.

Do you mean the wearer as people pleaser or the people around him? I wasn't a people pleaser. I was (and guess still am) a nice person in the way that I exude the image of being an honest person, talking to people in a respectful manner. People see me generally as a calm person so they kind of tone down their energy to match mine. When I drink and become energetic/outgoing/extroverted, people get surprised and say "I didn't know he had it in him". I'm just worried about the anger and angressive self-effects that some members mentioned. I already snap quickly when I'm not around friends/acquaintances.

Apollo sounds very interesting and promising. I pretty much accepted the fact last year that A314 is dead and there isn't anything out there that came close. I'll keep my eye on the release of Apollo.

Is there a plan for a commercial release of Apollo?

Is it a spray or oil?

I meant the wearer as people pleaser. I'm sure you're aware that BW can create conflict, even though it doesnt come close to the aggression of other alphas I use, at least for me, so I don't think that will be the problem. It's the self effects that are a real toss up. I'm a person that never gets angry, so your results may vary.

I cant answer too many questions about Apollo except that there are plans for a beta release within a few months.

I just realized that this thread is kind of self-centered lol. I mostly made this thread to discuss the different kinds of alphas and their various effects especially with people looking into this given the situation with A314. So please post your own alpha reviews in the same format or any other if you like. I'm still interested in dominant Ascend and how that compares with other alphas.
