Or the one that went something like: “I wore A314 to work and it did not work. No one talked to me.” But the worst mis-conceptions do seem to involve the products you mentioned above but often A314, TUTH, and [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/). ---

> [@bosshank](#): > > Instant Gentleman on the other hand tends to give you a cool, suave type of vibe. Jasmin described it to me as a “James Bond” kind of cool vibe back in the day. You can also get respect off of it, but it is a more laid back respect because of the fact that you seem so cool. It is more like a warm “step back and let him pass by because he is so cool” as opposed to the “step back and let him pass because he might bite your head off” that you can get with A314. I often recommend Instant Gentleman to guys younger than 18/19 as it has no ‘none in it, will make you seem a little smoother, and still bring you respect. > > Another great effect of Instant Gentleman is that it seems to make younger guys seem older and older guys seem younger via this “cool” effect. The former I have read in posts and the latter I have experienced first-hand. Many of the people I know either think I am up to 10 years younger than I am or even if they know my true age they state I seem to be younger than I am. Exactly what I’m looking for. I’m looking for that cool “james bond” type of vibe. I’m looking to come off as “cooler” and “younger” than my mid 30’s would suggest to some of the younger women out there. Bosshank, you’ve now convinced me to put [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/) in my next order from Androtics. Thanks. ---

I tried androsterone (Instant Gentlemen is mostly androsterone) and felt a “cool” vibe, but it was more a layed back, mature feeling- old man. YMMV. Try some androstenone with it, Raw maybe?. Very low dose, should give you more of a James Bond feeling. If you make enough androstenone, you probably wouldn’t need to add anything to be “cool”. ---

Hrmm… I’m definetly adding [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/) to my next order… Love to try it in combo with A314 and as a standalone for every now and then. ---

I would not use it with A314. You would just send out a mixed signal and waste a lot of pheromones. Rather I would use it as an alternative base to using A314. A good product to use in conjunction with A314 is Ammo for social or romance purposes. If you want to beef up [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/) put one spray of Turn Up The Heat on and then cover it with the Instant Gentleman. ---

Hey W, thanks for bumping this. I hope Snakeeyes and Data4 see the bump and tell us what they think! What Bosshank said… but there is nothing wrong with trying them together some. It’s a pretty safe way to find out what “mixed signal” means. Give it a good workout as a standalone first though then go back to A314. Then back to IG. Then try 'em together and you should see what we mean. ---

Has anyone any experience with [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/) and MX105 and could compare them? As MX105 is said to be a ‘younger guys A314 spray version’ I could imagine that both are even more similar to each other than A314/IG!?! ---

Wouldn’t Instant Shine go well with [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/)? The secondary effects of Instant Shine seem to radiate a young and fit vibe, while the Instant Gentleman radiates warmth, maturity and safety. Wouldn’t that mean a combo could give off a “I’m mature and comfortable, but I can still rock!” vibe? When I get my head out of my butt and actually start making more than “chump change” moolah, I’m going to order Instant Gentleman and try that combo out. ---

IMO after being experienced with both products I can say that… A314 = more the serious, “get the job done”, “take no prisoners” “nothing can stand in my way” manly vibe. IG = More a man for everyday, caring and repected and far more “gentle” man than A314. Both have their good and bad points, depends what you will be doing and what you need to use both these products for. I do find A314 to be better suited to work time and IG is far better for the socialising thing. BTW, an older, married woman who works in my company commented that I smell nice when I mixed the A314 and IG together (2 drops A314 + 3 sprays IG X1 strength) ---

[Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/) and any of the three socials in the Instant Line: shine, honesty or opennness all play well together. ---

This is all GREAT info. I was planning on getting A314 but am now considering Instant Gentleman over it… I am introverted, but it’s weird how on certain days people would approach me and strike a good 10-20 convo… On other days and seems people avoid me? +\_+?.. Then, most of my friends say that I give off good vibes and that I’m approachable. _shrugs_ Anyways, I was going to get A314 to give me a little more backbone but the down side is it seems to push people away if you seem to be giving off too strong of a confident vibe. Now, that I’ve read more about Instant Gentleman, I’m a little more interested in this phero than A314. I want to connect with people and make it even easier for them to open up to me, not scare them away. lol I’ve already been given some tips/advice/help, basically people saying I should go with Instant Openness, Instant Honesty, Instant Shine, Ammo. To everyone out there, would it be a good idea for me to use: Instant Shine, Instant Openness, Instant Honesty, [Instant Female Magic](https://a314.com/product/instant-female-magic/), and Instant Gentleman? (I’m going to try and rebuild a friendship with someone, because I fell into the Wuss Zone…) ---

Ah.. ! and i always thought that [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/) and A314 is roughly the same and in my humid country i picked the later because of it as a oil base. I am kinda the confidence type and a little alpha male as i think of myself. So i guess maybe i’ll just make it go with Instant opennes to make me feel more approchable .. ---

Thats really why I’m looking to get [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/). Since wearing A314 I’ve certainly become more popular among different circles (still trying to find out how to hear what people are saying while I’m not around, as I heard that can really show a lot to the effects). 🙄 I found while even buffered A314 can create a barrier, I’m hoping that Instant Gentleman will still bring that respect and bring in those who may have been intimidated before from my signature as I won’t be so -none heavy. 🆒 Should be here Monday, so looking forward to trying it out over the following week to see how different it is without much -none (-none can intimidate the younger women between 18 and 22 or even up to 24, except the single mums anyway). 😛 Look to my journal in the coming weeks to see my reports and I’ll try make a post back here too. But yes, if Instant Gentleman is a spray that people often or usually use more than 1 spray then x2 strength may be a good idea. ---

Yes - A314 can create barriers even when buffered but there is actually not a lot of 'none in it. Iy is that magic combo of pheros that does the trick. Of course [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/) has no 'none in it as you state. ---

Androgyn, Ishine, IO, and IH are all good buffers for A314. There have been many users who buffer with IG as well. I personally use IG when I’m looking for a softer effect and A314 when I want to toughen it up some. Also it’s been pointed out that the newer versions of A314 are not as distancing as the older versions. Truly the only way to know what will work best for you as an individual is to go slowly and keep a journal of what happens when you wear different combos. If you are just starting with [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) wear each one by itself for a few days. That will help you develop a feel for what is going on.
