Alright, so I’ve been gone for quite a long time… My apologies to everyone who remembers me. My absence has not been for nothing, though! THE BACKSTORY: I’ve been incredibly busy with school work, and preparing for college next year. And, of course, nothing blows of steam like cheering for your school’s football team under the Friday night lights. This year, I’ve been an active part of my the student section, trying to get everyone as pumped as possible. And, as I hope we all know, IShine works like nothing else to bring a bit of cheer to some classmates. In a last-minute decision on my way to a big game, I gave myself 2 shots of IShine; one on the neck and one on my palms. On the way to the game, I was singing up a storm to a pump-up mix I made to get ready. Once there, I had the time of my life. Everyone in my vicinity appeared to be enjoying themselves too, moreso than usual. No experiment is complete without a control test, though! At the next game, I decided to leave [or, forgot] my [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) at home. And… didn’t feel it that night. Music didn’t get me going, game didn’t get me wound up, wasn’t cheering as loud… I could feel something was missing, and I knew what it was. Next and subsequent games: Same IShine routine. Same results as first time, if not better. I think I may have initially underestimated the power of IShine, simply because it was the first thing people recommended to me. I see now that it wasn’t just because IShine is an easy thing to start off with… it’s because IShine is a fantastic pheromone! This quickly rose up and stands as my personal favorite at the moment. So glad I returned to it! To all those neglecting it… I suggest you dig it back out and give it a whirl. -AndyO ---

Welcome back. I didn’t know you the first time but from that post I’m sure you have a lot of knowledge to offer. I haven’t used IShine forever. It’s my only mone I’ve brushed aside. At first, it helped me feel less depressed when I was constantly feeling down. Then I began getting headaches while wearing it. Then I started making dangerous driving moves while wearing it. Then I actually hit the side of my garage when parking 😮 which of course, was my fault, but minorly IShine was involved as I was wearing 3 sprays and nothing else. I haven’t touched it since that haha. Anyway, I now think back to my IShine days. I started with IShine and IO combinations. I now realize is EXACTLY what my mixes are lacking. What has worked for me amazingly well, is 3 CTTM2 and 2 AMMO. Well, there’s always a slight missing link. People are drawn to me once I start talking. They are usually somewhat attracted if girls. They don’t leave the conversation till I end it. But it isn’t playful enough, it isn’t fun enough. It’s a somewhat interesting conversation, or it’s somewhat sexual, but it’s not like playful enough for me. I remember my IShine days. People would talk to me way too closely. Everyone would smile. It’s so clear that’s what I’ve needed but I totally forgot about it. Luckily I still have a full to go I got as a gift 😃 and about 40 sprays in my original bottle 🙄 I think that although IShine is the first recommendation most of us recieve, this was a minor mistake for me, potentially others too. On the surface, IShine is a simple, feel good pheromone. But without full knowledge of [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) it isn’t as effective as it should be. In reality, once I’ve tried a lot of other pheromones, IShine is the enhancer I need to complete my blends. Next qtr of college I plan on adding IShine to my cttm2/ammo mix and to a cttm2/a314/p74 mix. ---

Wow, seems like I brought about a revelation for you. If so, I’m honored and hope that it helps refine your mixes. I have some AMMO and CTTM2 as well, so I’ll give your mix a shot! No [P74](https://a314.com/product/p74/) [on a budget, sticking with my current stock…], but I use IShine to lighten up my A314 on occasion. As for the complexity of IShine, I see where you’re coming from. Beginners can draw benefits from its standalone effects, but it also has a great deal of potential in enhancing mixes once you understand it, which I noticed as well. That being said, good luck! Let me know how the refinements work out for you.
