1. Delivery
Shipping was with FedEx to the UK. From placement of the order to package arrival was four days
including the weekend.
Holy shit.
I've never had such fast shipping, not even with DHL from Androtics. The shipping did come with a hefty price tag but was manageable after the discount.
I requested two scent samples as well as two product samples. In hindsight, my request was on the greedy side - I had imagined that if I gave a wide selection, Steve could simply pick a few that he had on hand. Much to my surprise, Steve was generous enough to send me everything that was requested - simply amazing service.
Rating: 10/10
A little side note on the scent packages:
- FXS is by far my favourite and I'm glad I got my Evolve in this. It's light, fresh and suitable for young guys. If you've tried Summer Ammo from Androtics, it's a very similar scent.
- Sultan's Oud is another great one, but is much stronger and heavier. Someone on here said that it's more suited towards older gentlemen, and I'd agree with that.
- I'm finding it difficult to put Nobility into words. It smells a bit flowery to me. Not something I would wear, personally.
2. Packaging
Without a doubt the most discreet packaging I've ever seen. On the date the delivery was due, I had other engagements outside of the house, and so I knew the package would be accepted by my housemate. Unfortunately, it just so happened that we had communally ordered another package under my name, so I feared that he would accidentally open my pheromones, leading to great embarrassment.
However, not only did the FedEx box have no mention of "pheromones" whatsoever, but the actual contents were in another sealed opaque bag inside the box.
That is, when my friend accidentally opened the package, he still had no idea what was inside the sealed bag! This was a godsend for me and I cannot stress how much Steve must value the discretion of his customers.
Unfortunately, I discovered that one of the bottles had leaked about 20%. Always a hazard of international shipping, but surprisingly this is the only one of my orders (from any vendor) to have had leakage to date.
9/10 from me.
3. Evolve XS
So the shipping and packaging were great and all, but what about the actual products?
I've only had very limited testing with Evolve, but this is by far one of the most legit products I've tried to date. Only a few others have been able to prove themselves so quickly (Wolf, AV, TA) and Evolve has already entered into a solid position in my top 5.
- I've noticed an overwhelming increase in the number of people giving me proximity while wearing this. It's one of the most "magnetic" product I've worn to date.
- It's been an excellent standalone so far, and I haven't felt the need to add anything to it.
- It's attractive AND upbeat. A lot of other attractive mixes make me introverted (Ammo, Nude Alpha, L2K) but not this one.
- In addition, the FXS scent is one of my favourite scent packages to date - on the same level as Wolf (!!)
Of course, this is just a preliminary rating, and more testing is needed to check for consistency.
Preliminary rating: 8/10
