Hi guys,

My basic mainstream fragrance is YSL La nuit de l'homme electrique (the normal La nuit de l'homme is too woody/strong to me)

I recently received a sample of L&S without mones from Alpha Dream, and I must say I quite enjoy the smell, it reminds me of good times with friends.

Problem is, apparently AD doesn't sell the fragrances without the mones and I don't want to wear mones every day either, just like I don't wear a fragrance if I am just going for a workout.

So, my question to you guys is how do I replicate L&S ? Anything similar in mainstream fragrances?

I looked up the description of L&S on their site, but I know it isn't as simple as "a dash of vanilla, a dash of this a dash of that...", so any ideas, short of spectral analysis would be welcome.

I've wondered the same. Mones tend to stand out on my skin, so even scented ones require a little extra cover, and None lasts a while so being able to refresh would be nice. I sent an email to AD asking if they'd consider an option to buy a phero free bottle of just fragrance for that very purpose but it's been a week and I have yet to get a reply back.

Many moons ago, Chris sold the L&S scent solo. Ask him.

About four years ago, I identified Leather & Steel as being "almost exactly like" Sexual Steel Pour Homme by Michel Germain. I think I actually had a bottle or had just finished a bottle of Sexual Steel Pour Homme at the time. See below:

I received my Alfa Maschio w/Heidone in the Leather & Steel scent. The cover scent fully covers the smell of the pheromones. I really like the Leather & Steel scent. It smells almost exactly like Sexual Steel Pour Homme by Michel Germain. This cover scent was masterfully crafted.

I know but my last order from the US (AM from AD) ended up costing me about 140 USD between the product, shipping and import......So now I avoid ordering from the US.....

Alibaba is based in China

Germain is based in Canada

I think that amazon has EU distribution centers (https://www.aboutamazon.eu)

Some perfume specialty stores may stock it but they may not have an online presence.

Here in the US we have Perfumania and they stock many fragrances...most of which are a few years old.

Anyway, GL.

Thundr always said VIP 212 was a great cover for L&S so its worth looking to see if they are similar.

Just purchased a sample of this, and it smells nothing like Leather and Steel from AD.

Sample bottle looks legit (identical to smallest bottle in this photo).
