Testim/Testosterone attracts the opposite sex?

I started using Testim 1% gel about a year ago. At first, my wife, who suffers from asthma, said it bothered her and asked me not to rub it on before going to bed at night. I now rob it on after taking my morning shower and quickly put on a tee shirt after it dries and have not heard any additional complaints.

On several occasions over the past year I have received comments from females that they thought I smelled good (I do not use cologne or deodorant). I was wondering if the odor of testosterone is attractive to the opposite sex.

It seems that it might increase your production of pheromones; I recently read that eating celery has that effect.

I think it's the drinking of the Bloody Mary that precedes the eating of the celery.....

I used it for a while but found the smell to overpowering. Smells great for a while but then becomes all you can smell. Wife hated the smell after a while too. It also cause a rash on my skin

I had the same experience. At first it smelled great but then became overpowering. My wife hated the smell. What stopped my usage was that it caused me to break out in a rash, at the application site. Once it started it only got worse.
This seems to be a general complaint and I don't understand why the company would not consider using such a strong sent. Just a hint of that smell would be great!

Same experience here. I found the smell overpowering and it broke me out. It seems to be a common complaint and I don't know why they haven't taken the smell out of the product
