Simply Sexy Pheromone Body Mist Yours Truly

Simply Sexy Pheromone Body Mist in Yours Truly is a light, floral-musk pheromone spray in a 3.35 fl oz (99 mL) bottle. It opens bright and citrusy and dries down to a soft blend of amber, musk and sandalwood. Because it's a mist rather than a concentrated perfume, it's easy to spritz generously and top up during the day, and the formula includes a synthetically derived, vegan pheromone ingredient alongside the fragrance.

How Yours Truly smells

The first few seconds are all citrus: lemon, bergamot and mandarin, sharp and fresh. As that fades, the heart turns floral and fruity, with violet and rose, a little pink peppercorn and a sweet mix of raspberry, pear, apple and pineapple sorbet. After a while on skin it settles into a warm base of amber, musk and sandalwood. Overall it reads as sweet and cosy rather than heavy, the kind of scent that sits close to the body. Like any fragrance, it can smell a little different on different people.

What's in the formula

The ingredient list is short: water, fragrance, a vegan synthetically derived pheromone, polysorbate 20, citric acid, potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate. The maker says it's formulated without gluten, parabens or glycerin. We don't make any claims about what the pheromone ingredient does; think of this primarily as a body spray and buy it because you like how it smells.

How to wear a pheromone spray

Mists are lighter than eau de parfum, so you can be generous. Spray on warm spots such as the neck, wrists, inner elbows and behind the ears, or mist your hair and clothes from arm's length. Let it dry rather than rubbing it in, which flattens the top notes. Because it's lighter, it fades faster than perfume, so reapply when you can no longer smell it. Avoid spraying on broken or freshly shaved skin, and keep it away from eyes and intimate areas.

Patch-testing and sensitivities

Fragrance is one of the most common causes of skin reactions. If you're prone to them, spray a little on the inside of your forearm and wait a day before wearing it widely. Stop using it if you notice redness or itching, and rinse the area with cool water. Don't spray it near pets or onto delicate fabrics such as silk without testing a hidden spot first.

Travel size and other formats

At 99 mL, the bottle is just under the 100 mL limit many airports use for liquids in carry-on bags, though rules vary, so check before you fly. If you love the scent and want something more concentrated, the same fragrance comes as a Yours Truly perfume oil and a 0.3 oz pheromone perfume, both easier to tuck into a pocket.

Storing it

Keep the bottle capped, upright and out of sunlight. Heat and light break down fragrance, so a drawer or cabinet works better than a sunny windowsill or a hot car. Stored that way, the scent stays truer for longer.
