Pheromones

What are pheromones?

Chemical messengers detected through scent rather than smelled. They influence attraction, social perception and how people respond to you before a word is said. We developed our formulas with a clinical psychologist and pheromone expert, then blended them into products you already use.

Will I smell them?

No, and neither will anyone else. Pheromones are detected rather than smelled, so what you notice is the fragrance and how people behave around you, not the compounds themselves.

What should I actually expect?

Most men report more eye contact, longer conversations and more approaches inside the first two weeks. Pheromones amplify a signal your body already sends. They are not a switch, and anyone promising a guaranteed outcome is selling you something else.

Why put them in soap?

Only 10% of the male population secretes an abundant amount of the pheromones women respond to. Most soap strips what little you have straight down the drain. Ours replenishes it, in something you already use every morning without thinking about it.

What does bio-identical mean?

They work with the chemistry you already have instead of masking it, which is why the fragrance and the signal reinforce each other rather than competing.

Choosing a profile

What is the difference between the profiles?

Each is a different pheromone blend. Bond carries the Hero Blend and targets credibility. Maverick carries the Party Blend and targets approachability. Durden carries the Alpha Blend and targets presence. The scent is what you notice; the blend is what other people respond to.

Which one should I start with?

Pick the one that matches how you want to be read in the rooms you are actually in. If you cannot choose, a soap 3-pack is the cheapest way to wear all three, and the pheromone quiz gets you there in about a minute.

What is Bullitt No. 1?

A limited-run cologne built on the Pure Attraction Blend. It is cologne-only: there is no Bullitt bar, deodorant or body butter. It reads as unplaceable rather than targeting one trait, which is why men who cannot pick a profile often end up there.

Can I mix profiles?

You can, but the layers reinforce each other when they match. Wearing one blend head to toe is what makes the signal read consistently.

Using the products

How long does a bar of soap last?

Two to three weeks with average daily use, though it differs between households. Three things extend it: let the bar dry out between uses, give it a shake before storing it away, and lather with a loofah or shower cloth rather than holding it under running water.

How long does cologne last on the skin?

Four to six hours a wear, longer on fabric, in every format. Durden holds longest of the blends and Maverick lifts fastest.

How long does a bottle last?

A 100ml spray runs eight to twelve months at three or four sprays a day. A 10ml roll-on is about a month of daily wear, which is why it is the size men carry rather than the one they keep on a shelf.

What order do I use them in?

Bar in the shower, deodorant and body butter after it, cologne last. The bar puts the blend on your skin and everything above it tops the signal up rather than covering it.

How much cologne should I use?

One pass at the base of the neck and one on each wrist, on clean dry skin. Do not rub it in and do not add more. It carries further than you think.

Should I patch test?

Yes, as with any fragrance. Leave a small amount on the skin for 48 hours, then watch the area for another 48, 96 hours in total before regular use.

What is a soap saver loofah?

A loofah bag with 4 oz of bar soap inside. Lather through the mesh and the soap lasts noticeably longer than using the bar directly.

Ingredients and making

Where are Grondyke products made?

All of our personal care products are made in the United States. We keep production within our borders to hold quality and working conditions where we can see them.

What is in the soap?

A shea butter and natural oil base of coconut, olive and sustainable palm oil, carrying the pheromone formula. Individual scents add ingredients such as turmeric, activated charcoal, cedarwood, lime or gingergrass oil.

What do you leave out?

Soap, cologne and body butter are free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates and testosterone-reducing chemicals. Deodorant is free of aluminum, parabens and phthalates.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

The base is a moisturising one rather than a stripping one, and there are no sulfates in it. If you react to fragrance generally, patch test first as you would with any scented product.

Subscriptions

How much is subscribe and save?

20% off every order, not just the first. It applies to the same product on a schedule you choose.

Can I change or cancel it?

Yes, from your account at any time. Change the interval, swap the profile on the next delivery, skip a shipment, pause it, or cancel outright. No phone call and no retention script.

What interval should I choose?

Match it to what actually runs out. A bar lasts two to three weeks, a 10ml roll-on about a month, a 100ml bottle most of a year. Most men subscribe to the bar and buy the cologne when they need it.

Is it available on everything?

Almost. Not on a single bar of soap, only on the multi-packs, and not on the 100ml spray cologne, where one bottle outlasts any interval we offer.

Shipping, returns and orders

What does shipping cost?

Free on US orders over $75. Orders leave the door within one business day and most arrive in four to five days.

What is the 30-day guarantee?

Use it for a month. If nothing changes, email us inside 30 days and we refund it, opened or not. Return shipping is on you, no interrogation.

Do you ship internationally?

Rates and destinations are calculated at checkout. If your country does not appear, email us and we will tell you whether we can get it there.

How do bundle discounts work?

Mix any products across any profiles in the bundle builder. Three items takes 15% off, four takes 20%, six takes 25%. The prebuilt kits are priced below that again.

Where is my order?

Tracking goes out by email the moment it ships, and every order is listed in your account. If it has been more than five business days, email us and we will chase it.

Attraction has a chemistry.
What are pheromones?

Attraction has a chemistry.

Pheromones are chemical messengers detected through scent rather than smelled. They shape how people read you before a word is said.

Only 10% of men secrete an abundant amount of them. The other 90% wash what little they have straight down the drain every morning. Ours are bio-identical, developed with a clinical psychologist, so every product in the range puts the signal back rather than covering it.
