Happiness is right under your nose

It seems like the simplest little thing in the world. Unscrew the cap of a pretty little rollette, breathe in a delightful fragrance and within minutes start to feel like you are on top of the world. And the world begins to treat you like you are All That and a bag of chips too. Beautiful in its simplicity, it is actually based on the mind-numbing complexities of chemistry that are responsible for the very existence of the human race.

I have to tell you my story about using the high-science pheromone blend developed as a remedy for menopausal symptoms of night sweats, mood swings and other unpleasantries of mid-life raging hormones. I was one of the early guinea pigs. I have become a global spokesperson for pherAdore, because I have seen it change lives, including my own.

I know there have been a thousand products thrown into the backs of magazines and seedy little internet sites, but there are pheromones and there are pheromones, and everything from the lowly moth to the perfect husband are affected by them. But nobody benefits more than that most magnificent of creatures, the mid-life woman. Let me tell you how.

The application is important, as pheromones are introduced through inhaling. Just use the rollette to run a little stripe right under your nose and breathe. You can apply as often as you like during the day—in the morning, for a mid-day lift, before going out at night. It is impossible to overdose, and will not interfere with your own fragrance.

The bit of initial fragrance is ylang-ylang, aromatherapy for reducing anxiety and elevating mood, and very pleasant. Once that essential oil dissipates, the pheromones do their thing, creating the most interesting cascade of biological events, safely and with no side effects.

Women have reported everything from selling more cars to marrying a millionaire! Husbands may behave strangely—bringing home flowers and asking about her day! Married women seem to feel re-kindled and it’s just a beautiful thing.

The developer of pherAdore, Peter T. Pugliese, MD has a unique view of pheromones, as he does on many things. Dr. Pugliese is the aging experts’ expert. He is the one the celebrity doctors call when they need answers. During an interview on 20/20, he explained that pherAdore empowers women to be themselves—and moreso with every passing year.

Pheromones are the chemical messages that a woman sends to let a man know she is interested, available, and here’s the key—that she is desirable. This is pertinent because as any woman consumer will tell you, all the ads we see are designed to make us feel that we are totally undesirable, unless we use whatever they are selling us.

That is what makes Dr. Pugliese so unique. His products all begin with the notion of helping to protect something that is valuable, rather than to correct an inadequacy. The difference between these two mindsets is huge, and has made all the difference to a great many women. With pheromones, being sold all over the place, from questionable sources, the hype is usually focused on men getting the girl to do his bidding. Wrong!! The overall effect of this product is that the woman using pherAdore has a heightened sense of her own attractiveness. Break loose a woman’s sense of her own power, and amazing things begin to happen—to her, for her, and the people around her. And happily, much of what we do is directly under the control of our own biochemistry.

The biology of reproduction stops, usually, somewhere in the early 50’s. The biology of attraction goes on as long as there are two people with a pulse. Men are always “on”, and always seeking a nesting place for their charms. Women, of course, are completely in control, and if the woman doesn’t say yes, nothing happens. What has plagued us for the last thirty years or so is this youth culture that makes mature women feel like they are past the age of acceptability in this dance of attraction between men and women. And we know now that when a woman feels inadequate, she begins to send off a message of “stay away from me”. It is a lot like the common wisdom that says that a dog knows when you are afraid of it, and therefore he becomes more aggressive, because he senses your vulnerability.

People can be the same way. Ever been in a business presentation where you can see the speaker sweating bullets? What happens to the room? The group shuffles papers, coughs, doodles, interrupts, does everything but pay attention. It’s because the message of vulnerability is coming from somewhere in that speaker’s soaked underarm and everybody knows this person is not formidable or worth listening to. The same thing happens when people are socially ill-at-ease. You see them in bars, clusters of women—or men—peering out over their drinks, looking around with a practiced non-chalance, like they want you to think they don’t care if anybody approaches them or not.

Pheromones are chemical messages too, and for some reason we do not quite yet understand, the messages of availability and desirability tend to diminish in women when they are no longer regularly in the company of men. This is societal by circumstance, but biology is destiny, and we know now that we can give biology that little extra push by introducing pheromones to the woman and letting nature resume doing its thing. And neither a fashion magazine nor Dr. Phil needs to enter the picture. Just a little whiff of pherAdore and the world becomes a pretty wonderful place.

This isn’t a stretch for the 90 million baby boomers who spent most of the 80’s putting something up their noses anyway!

But let me tell you what pherAdore did for me. I had been divorced for some time by the time the clinical trials on this pheromone blend came about. I was crazy mad in love with a handsome, handsome man who looked exactly like Sam Elliot and who had made it perfectly clear that he had no intention of marrying, ever, because women take your stuff, boss you around, make you have dinner at her mothers every weekend, and usually will produce a baby which will cry, throw up and poop all day every day for years and years.

He wanted no parts of any of this. I had been married more than once prior to becoming involved with this man, who at 43 was a confirmed and very happy bachelor. I wasn’t all that concerned about marriage and had been out of the baby business since a hysterectomy at age 31. This is why I was in the pheromone study, since I was exhibiting early menopausal symptoms as a result of that surgery a decade earlier. We were having a good time dating and found great joy in each other’s company, mostly because of the freedom it afforded both of us.

Once I started using pherAdore, all my symptoms were gone. Hot flashes, night sweats, cranky moods, stopped immediately. And for some reason, I just couldn’t get enough of this guy. I had never really had much trouble in that department anyway, but this was downright undeniably a boost in my libido. And that wasn’t all.

A little while later, I had to take a job out of town for a few months. On one visit home, I was minding my own business at his place, whereupon he suddenly and without prior conversation about it, proposed! With a diamond ring, and an expression of willingness to marry me anywhere or any way I chose, even the Catholic Church, my now-49-year- old bachelor boyfriend became my fiancé!

We celebrated our seventh anniversary this March.

So the question you have to ask yourself is not just “How’s your love life?” but also “How are you lovin’ life?”
