I’m trying to choose too! I’m going for A314. I want it mainly for daily life rather than business (got no job!) but it seems like it has more ‘range’ than IG.
For business you’d want A314 but for daily life IG would be better.
A314 is more respect and IG is more laid back cool guy.
I don’t have either of these, this is just what I’ve read.
They are two very different beasts. It all depends on what kind of vibe you want to have and if you only want to get one, which kind of vibe is more you.
Well, business is rough right now and my wife is very worried about our financial situation. I’m really humping it at work but I’m thinking an extra vibe of “don’t worry honey, I’ll take care of everything”. But, I also want an edge during working hours.
IMO A314 would be a good beginning for you but I personally would also suggest adding some I-Shine to it as well for a beginning. Can’t hurt when you’re in contact with the boss and co-workers. I would also recommend paying attention to the self effects mainly because it seems to help you assume the role you are projecting - I’m realizing that the two seem to go hand in hand. I’m a newbie, + 90 days but I know what I’m seeing. I think those two should be a good start w/o breaking the bank.
My experience w/ A314 jives with many other posts here re: its effects. It really does seem to provide an ‘Alpha’ dog or male vibe. For me, the self effects along those same lines - was just as strong as those others seemed to pick up on. I-Shine kinda softens the Alpha aspect somewhat by sending the message that you are someone who should be respected but you are still approachable … if that makes any sense for you.
How about A314 for the Alpha vibe coupled with IFM for the warm “it’s gonna be OK honey” big shoulder for the wife (it can also work wonders with PMS).
I have, and use, both these and am a couple of years older than you, they work, no question.
Just watch the IFM, some guys (myself included get a little depressed on it. I counter that with some IShine which, again, lightens the mood and helps everyone feel happy.
Yes, I’ve read that. Should I try it by itself first to learn the right dose, or does that matter? Will it cause depression in the right person regardless of dosage? Am I making any sense?
Don’t worry, you’re not going to jump off a bridge because you used IFM. I find that if I use 4 sprays or more without anything else, I can get a little irritable and moody.
To give you an idea. My club mix is 2 sprays heavy ammo, 4 sprays IFM and 2-3 sprays I Shine. I last wore that to a live gig in a Spanish nightclub and was hit on repeatedly by women. My wife stood next to me and laughed when I told her that one kept pinching my backside .
Substitute A314 for the ammo, I get a great interview/work mix ( I’m a criminal defence lawyer), raise the Alpha, drop the sexiness.
You’re quite right, test each one individually, find your sweet spot and then try combining them. Don’t forget to post your results on the boards.
I’ve heard a few people say IFM smells like cat piss, but I thought nah it’s probably just them. But then I tried MX104 and it smelled like sweat drenched shit, so that’s why I’ve kept away from IFM. It’s a popular product though, so I don’t know why only some people notice the smell.. most people agree with the MX104 smell but there’s different views on IFM, maybe there’s more than one version of it..
