The story:
I purchased Classic Man (CM) from Amazon for $35 ($34.95) w/free shipping. The Pureguilt website has Classic Man for $40 ($39.95) + $8 ($7.95) shipping which would have cost me $48. So, I saved $13 by buying Classic Man on Amazon rather than on the Pureguilt website.
Packaging:
The product had a lot of leakage. The bottle came in round black labeled cardboard packaging with the Pureguilt logo. When I opened the package the bottle was wet. It was also not full. It looked like about 7 or 8 ml leaked out. I removed the plastic wrapping around the sprayer cap and the screwtop baffled as to why this product was leaking. I went to spray into the air until the sprayer was primed. For some reason the sprayer was already full of product.
No samples were included in the package.
Testing parameters:
I tested Classic Man first for my sweet spot. I tested Classic Man at 2 sprays a day for about 3 weeks straight.
I have several test subjects who are sensitive to pheromones. I get feedback from their body language. I also open them regularly with short conversations which I gauge. I also tested Classic Man with new targets to get a baseline of reactions. Targets vary in age, race and gender.
Dosage:
I found the optimal dosage for me to be 2 sprays. 3 sprays seemed to be too much. 4 sprays was way too much.
The scent:
Classic Man has a distinct lemon scent to it. It smells like lemon oil (lemon pledge?). I'm not sure that the cover scent fully covers the smell of the pheromones. I’m not a big scent person but it feels like minimal effort went into scent crafting for Classic Man
Duration:
The duration for Classic Man is about 3-4 hours. Classic Man goes on very oily. I think that the formulators of Classic Man may have tried to use oil (DPG) to extend the life of the product. It goes on oily and has a long dry down time.
Self-effects:
I don’t get any self-effects from Classic Man.
Daytime use:
I tested Classic Man in the daytime during my usual daytime activities, in stores and in various indoor environments.
Classic Man does not have any pull. I don’t get looks, head turns or Deer in the headlights
Nothing really jumped out at me telling me that this product was doing something.
I engaged in conversation with several targets and I got nothing.
Nighttime use:
I really didn't test this at night.
Thoughts on the formula:
The listed ingredients for Classic Man are: Alpha Androsterone, Beta Androsterone, Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA-S), Dipropylene Glycol and Isopropyl Myristate.
The label lists Dehydroepiandrosterone which is DHEA but next to Dehydroepiandrosterone on the label is DHEA-S. DHEA-S is Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate.
Six years ago Dbot said this on Pherotalk about Beta Androsterone "The beta isomer I find to be quite softening in its effect. It is very charismatic but can also be status-reducing."
I think Beta Androsterone is even worse than that. I believe that it ruins male formulas. I think it exudes a feminine aura rather than a masculine one.
In any case this is a simple formula that simply does not seem to work.
Conclusion:
Sorry to say Classic man is one of the worst formulas that I've tested in the last seven years. It leaked in transit, it does not smell appealing, the pricing was off, the website makes many claims and it just did not perform for me....at all.
The website ad copy reads like a skin magazine pheromone ad from the 1980's. It includes a WARNING that women may follow you around.

Sick and tired of trying to come up with clever things to say to the woman you’re eyeing on the other side of the room? Forget that!
►Would you like to know how it feels to be grabbed by amazing, beautiful women everywhere you go?
►Would you like to be the only dude in the club that is constantly starred at by all the hottest women?
►Would you like to be the type of guy that doesn’t have to say a word while women work their asses off to get in his pants?
Well now you can!
How does it Work?
With the Classic Man Eau de Pheromone, one little spray and you’ll be oozing with sex appeal while becoming highly charismatic making everyone want to talk to you.
You see, this little bad boy contains a successful combination of Alpha and Beta Androsterone and Dehydroepiandrosterone, which are guaranteed to attract women, make you seem more outgoing, and makes other feel comfortable in your presence.
This little guy gives the impression to others that you are very charismatic even if you really aren’t. A man wearing Classic Man tends to:
• Instantly make people feel comfortable in his presence without even saying a word
• Allow people to feel like they’ve known you forever
• Seem very high-valued, socially outgoing, comfortable, confident, and above all sexually engaging that makes women HIGHLY attracted
• People will feel obligated to know more about you because you seem very approachable and interesting
You won’t believe your eyes!
When you first notice the results of this little pheromone you’re going to be scratching your head wondering what the hell is happening!
You see, most men aren’t used to this type of attention and when you see it for the first time you’re not even going to know what is going on.
You’re going to wonder:
• Why are women constantly running their hands across my stomach, back, and shoulders when walking past me?
• Why won’t women stop staring at me?
• Why do women keep standing next to me everywhere I go?
• Why are women making up lies about knowing me or recognizing me when I’ve never seen them before?
It’s quite amusing to see the creativity women have when it comes to approaching men with their own bogus pick-up links and ice breakers.
WARNING: Before purchasing our Classic Man Eau de Pheromone you should be aware that we are not responsible in the event women aimlessly follow you around like little puppy dogs, become overly angry and territorial due to the overwhelming attention you receive, or make up bogus stories to get in your pants. You’ve been warned!"
