Say YES to your NOSE! Pheromone are our body's most ancient compatibility tool. Join us for a one-of-a-kind speed dating adventure!
About this Event

Trust your instincts. Follow your nose. You might just meet your match.

After a successful debut in Colorado, Pheromone Speed Dating is wafting its way to Texas—and you're invited to be part of the magic.

Step into a playful, edgy, and fully guided 2.5-hour journey where the rules of attraction are flipped upside down. In this experimental and heartfelt container, we’ll drop below the surface—beyond words, beyond sight, and straight to the primal intelligence of your senses.


What is Pheromone Speed Dating?

This isn’t your average night out. It's an immersive matchmaking experience where scent leads the way. Through a series of three curated dating rounds, you'll explore chemistry, compatibility, and connection—using pheromones, physical presence, touch, and your heart as your compass.

We blend light-hearted games, conscious play, and blindfolded exploration to help you tune into the people you're truly drawn to—before the distractions of appearances and small talk come into play. At the end, blindfolds come off, sparks fly (maybe), and new possibilities unfold.

After the activities, relax with a cup of tea and mingle with your new connections.

With an 88% match rate, chances are you’ll leave with at least a few people you’re excited to reconnect with.


Important Details

👥 Who’s it for:Singles & open-hearted humans ages 30–50.Whether you're single or in a clearly consensual open relationship, please come in good relational standing—and bring a friend if you’d like!

📍 Where:(TBD)

🕕 When:Please arrive by 6:45pm. Doors close promptly at 7:00.

Guidelines

What To Wear:

You are welcome to dress however you’d like. Naturally, we recommend wearing something that feels authentic and that you’d wear to a night out on a date.

More importantly than what you wear, however, is what to not wear.

On the day of the speed dating event, please make sure you have absolutely NO deodorant, cologne, perfumes, essential oils, or synthetic/natural scents beyond your own. This includes all sorts of sprays, lotions, or product that may interfere with your body’s natural pheromones. We know—this goes against everything society teaches us. But your natural scent is part of your authentic signal. Trust us, your future matches want the most natural version of you! What you may consider your “BO” is actually someone else's heaven. 🤤 To that end, again, do not wear any smells on you or your clothes on the day of the event.

Bonus Edge: Skip the shower the day of the event (yes, really). You'll be amazed what happens when we stop scrubbing away our animal instincts.


What To Bring:

In the 2–3 nights leading up to the event, sleep in a plain, scent-free t-shirt or garment. Bring this article with you. It will be used anonymously during one of the blindfolded scent-matching games. Do not forget it!


What To Expect


• Upon arrival, you’ll hand in your powered-up garment and be guided to your seat.

• The first two matchmaking rounds are completely blindfolded—allowing chemistry to unfold without visual bias.

• The blindfolds come off for the final round, and you will have an opportunity to engage visually with the other participants before matching. Visual attraction does matter too, after all.

• At the end, you’ll submit your match preferences. Any mutual connections will be shared with you post-event.

• We’ll close the night with tea, mingling, and decompression time.


This evening is obviously quite edgy, and you are encouraged to lean into an experimental attitude while honoring your yes’s and your no’s.


Showing up with oppeness, vulnerability and respect will go a long way in making this evening fun and safe for everyone.


Orientation & Inclusivity:

This particular evening is designed for heterosexual pairings.

We wholeheartedly support the LGBTQ+ community and hope to offer queer-centered pheromone dating events soon!


A Note on Physical Contact:

Gentle, consensual touch will be part of the experience—but everything is opt-in. Clear boundaries will be honored and reaffirmed throughout the night.

While we love hugs (seriously, they’re the best), we ask that you do not hug anyone (including friends!) upon arrival—this helps preserve the purity of each person’s unique smellscape.


🎟️ Reservation required 48 hours in advance.

Interested within 48 hours? Email: to request standby availability.
