Peptide body mist customized to your DNA
We'll mail you one of our test kits for a saliva-based genetic sample you can take at home. We include return shipping so we can analyze your sample and determine your HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) type.
Learn how rare your exact combination of HLA genes are and which odor-determining peptides correspond to those genes.
Apply your customized body mist directly on your skin after showering or every 12h so you can always smell your best. Re-order any time. The DNA test is only needed for new customers.
Keep your perfume! ...and please don't stop wearing deodorant.
It's totally fine to wear other products at the same time as Love Potions if you want to smell like those things, however to maximize the peptides' impact we recommend wearing as few other scented products as possible (unscented is fine). This includes shampoo, body wash, and other cosmetics with strong scents.
Peptides work by helping your body smell good naturally, but the scent is subtle and easy to overwhelm with powerful artificial fragrances.
You can tell you're compatible with someone when you like how they smell without any artificial fragrances.
This was demonstrated by Swiss researcher Dr. Claus Wedekind in his groundbreaking T-shirt study, a double blind experiment showing that human can identify genetic compatibility in partners by smell alone.
Through subsequent studies, researchers showed that every human has unique skin chemistry that reflects how we're supposed to smell naturally.
The goal of Love Potions is to amplify that unique quality each of us has to the way we smell.
Peptides (short chains of amino acids) are the biochemical connection between your genes and how you smell.
You have a unique set of genetically-determined peptides that your immune system uses to distinguish between healthy and infected cells.
The same set of peptides accumulates on your skin and influences the way you smell through your microbiome.
When you like how someone smells, you're really complementing their immune system!
Adding these peptides back onto your skin with a body mist can help restore your unique, natural smell that showering and cosmetics otherwise suppress.
