Pure Instinct Captivate is a pheromone cologne for men in a 60 ml spray bottle. The scent opens on juicy cactus fruit, moves through sunny florals and wild rose, and dries down to salted vanilla and warm driftwood: fresh at first, then soft, sweet and woody. This is the large, everyday-size bottle of Captivate, made for spraying on before work, the gym or a night out.
The first few minutes are bright and fruity, with cactus fruit giving a watery, slightly tart sweetness. Then the solar florals and rose come through, giving a warm, sunlit middle that stays well clear of a heavy floral. The base is where it settles for the long haul: salted vanilla adds a gentle sweetness with a savoury edge, and driftwood keeps it dry and grounded. Overall it sits between a fresh summer cologne and a cosy vanilla scent, so it's easy to wear in any season.
Captivate in this size is an alcohol-based spray, which behaves differently from the roll-on oils in Pure Instinct's range. The alcohol lifts the scent off the skin, so the top notes feel livelier and it projects a little further, then evaporates and leaves the fragrance behind. Pure Instinct calls it a lightly fragranced spray, so think soft cologne rather than loud. If you'd prefer something that sits closer to the skin and fits in a pocket, the Captivate roll-on is the same scent in a 10.2 ml oil.
Spray from about 15 cm away onto clean, dry skin: one spritz on the neck, one on the chest or inner wrist. Let it dry on its own; rubbing your wrists together blurs the opening notes. Two or three sprays are plenty for a day, and you can add one more before going out in the evening if it has faded. Spray skin rather than fabric, since alcohol fragrances can mark some materials and the scent develops properly only on warm skin.
Pure Instinct includes a vegan, synthetically derived pheromone in the formula. We don't claim it will make anyone more attracted to you. What you're buying is a pleasant, wearable cologne. If you enjoy the idea of a pheromone fragrance, that's a fun extra; wear it because you like how it smells.
Captivate works on its own, but it also layers. Spray it first, let it dry, then add a light citrus or woody cologne on top, or wear it over an unscented moisturizer if your skin runs dry. Pure Instinct suggests using the bottle within 12 months of opening. Keep it in a cool cupboard away from sunlight and the steamy air of a bathroom, both of which wear fragrance down faster.
The formula is short: denatured alcohol, fragrance, water and the synthetic pheromone. Pure Instinct says it's paraben-free, vegan, not tested on animals and made in the USA. As with any fragrance, test a spray on your inner arm first if your skin is sensitive, and keep it away from eyes and broken skin.

Helpful answers about Pure Instinct Captivate Men's Pheromone Perfume Oil.
This 60 ml bottle is a spray. Captivate also comes as a 10.2 ml roll-on oil if you want something for a pocket or gym bag. The scent notes are the same, but the oil wears closer to the skin, while the spray projects a little more.
Fruity and fresh to start, warm and woody at the end. Cactus fruit opens it, solar florals and wild rose form the heart, and salted vanilla with driftwood makes up the base. If you like fresh colognes that turn soft and sweet as they dry, it's worth a try.
Evidence on human pheromones is limited and contested, so we don't promise any effect on other people. Buy Captivate because you like the scent; feeling good in a cologne you enjoy is reason enough, and any pheromone effect is something we can't guarantee.
Two or three on warm spots such as the neck, chest and inner wrist. Pure Instinct describes it as lightly fragranced, so an extra spray before an evening out is fine. Aim for different spots rather than layering several sprays in one place.
Yes. Spray Captivate first, let it dry, then add your usual cologne lightly on top. Light citrus, vetiver and cedar fragrances sit well with its driftwood base, while another heavy vanilla scent may make the combination too sweet.
Pure Instinct recommends using it within 12 months of opening. Keep the cap on and store it away from heat and sunlight; a car glovebox or a hot gym locker exposes it to temperature swings that wear the scent down faster.
Yes, in your carry-on. At 60 ml it's under the usual 100 ml cabin limit for liquids, so it goes in your clear liquids bag with the cap pressed on firmly. For a smaller bag, the 10.2 ml roll-on is the easier travel size.
