RE: Natural Pheromones

From what I read, synthetic subtracts aren't as powerful as natural counterparts. Although they do do a fair bit of work.
Back in the old days, the animals did suffer as they were killed for their glands. Nowadays, the use of their sacs has largely been supplanted by synthetics (at least in the western world). This is especially true of the perfume industry, not really for the pheromones.
You are right in the extent that the naturals are better because most likely complex groups of fragrance chemicals with pheromonal compounds were extracted and not simply just fragrance isolates (excluding pheromones) e.g., civettone being the synthetic as opposed to the whole civit gland being processed with not only civettone, but also a plethora of other scent chemicals as well as perhaps, pheromones.
Nowadays, even if one were to obtain the naturals (which is not impossible) the price can be prohibitive as sourcing/processing is expensive. Vegetable sources of musk have been obtained e.g., ambrette seeds which have musky aroma. The ambrette seeds are cheap and animals were not harmed. You can find this in Chanel Egoiste pour homme (NOT Egoiste Platinum; totally different scent) which has a musky drydown along with sandalwood, coriander notes. The ladies would love this on an elegant man who is dressed in a killer suit.
I know that you prefer the natural essential oils, but this one is good. You can use the oils (sandalwood) to enhance the longevity of this scent. Just a thought.
Good Luck Doc, and keep up the cool reports. I enjoy reading them!
