Hey guys! It’s been forever and a day since i’ve dropped a report, but i’ve been busy with class and projects, as well as saving some cash for a trip coming up and spending the rest on cologne. 🙄 So haven’t been out to many bars recently. However, this week i have tried to do some testing twice now and each time it’s failed. So here’s my report:

Wednesday Night:

11pm - 2 sprays MX309, 3 sprays GIT cover

My cousin, his friend, and i were all going to drink some at my place, ride a campus bus downtown (new route that started last month), then have fun at the club and crash back at my pad. Now, this was working well until we went out to catch the bus and found that it doesn’t run on wednesdays. Needless to say we were not driving at this point, so we walked to get some mixers at HT and then back to my room for some drinking games.

While i couldn’t test the attraction rating of this MX yet, i did notice that i was more aggressive than usual, just in my personality. I’ll be interested to see if this was just due to frustrated plans, or if it was partially due to the MX. I’ve made a note and keep an eye on it next time. As for male interaction, no differences from my two fellow party-ers.

Thursday Night:

12:30am - 2 sprays MX311, 3 sprays GIT cover

My girl was going out to a campus drinking event called “Golfing” (if people want, i’ll explain the rules, but just know it involves lots of bars), but i’d been feeling bad all day (recovering from Wed night) and had decided to stay in. Well, of course, 12am rolls around and i’m still wide awake and finally good to go. So i get changed, spritz myself a bit, and drive out to her place. Now she had driven up to this point, so i called her and told her she could drink as much as she’d like and i’ll walk out and drive her back.

So i actually get there around 1:15am. We hang out for a bit, meet old high school buddies i haven’t seen in 4 years. Some good times, just chatting with old friends. My girl was affectionate, but not abnormally so by any means. Same as any other time she’s been drinking. Well, 2:30am rolls around and we get kicked out of the last bar, so i drive her home and we change and sit on the couch for a bit. Now she WAS more demanding to be kissed and to cuddle than usual. As in, i’d try to turn my head to watch the TV and it was a no-go. But it was late and she had to wake up at 7:15am, so there were definitely no shenanigans going on that night. Seemed she was tempted, but i knew it wasn’t a good idea so i just cuddled up and let her get some sleep.

While the second one kind of worked, to be honest my girl was too tired to react normally to the phero’s as she might have been, so i still consider that one somewhat of a wash. I like to test on prime subjects, not anyone too tired, sloppy drunk, etc. But i’ll keep it up and you’ll see more reports coming out of me soon. Cheers for now!

Great report even if your results were not what you had hoped for. Its important for them to know the good and the bad because that cant fix it unless they hear from members about the experimentals

Great job MFG. 😉

Snap. I feel really guilty about it too. But I’ve been working like crazy on a dissertation. I hand it in on monday then I hand in one final essay the friday after that. So from next week onwards I’ll be doing as much testing/reporting as I can.

I left the Raw power test pack to you guys, because I didn’t do too well with the [Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/) test pack. I find the test packs quite daunting and overwhelming to test with there being so many bottles. Good report, reps.

Interesting comment.

Some people don’t like purchase limits on test packs, because they’re really gung-ho and use high quantites over a long lapse of time. They get miffed if they can only get 1 or 2 test packs. The more extreme folks like to grab 5.

Obviously you don’t fall into this category.

I don’t know how much you are like me, but I often only need to try a new mix 1 or 2 times to know if I want to continue with it. If I like it then yes – I want a larger quantity. Much larger.

Perhaps for people like me and you, we could start to investigate an even smaller than ToGo format to help speed up testing and keep everyone’s costs down (ours and yours). Maybe 1ml or something, provided we can get something like that with a spray top.

That way, it’s less daunting psychologically for folks like you (“eh it’s only 1ml of 5 mixes – easy peasy, I can do this!”). It would help alleviate that psychological chokepoint / roadblock, as well as making it cheaper and eliminate some waste. (provided I can get automated, high volume oriented pipettors and other equipment needed for the format, to keep labor costs manageable – that’s always an issue with small scale manufacturing)

For folks like me (speedy gonzalez style testing w/various techniques, “tricks” and often 3rd party spotters who help to catalog social results more rapidly), 1 or 2 applications gives us just what we need to see if we care to explore further.

I far prefer testing a large quantity of mixes, before deciding to “go deep” with just a few. Sort of like dating. If you see a lot of fish first, your tastes really start to develop, and the few you pick out of the large “palette of possibilities” to go deep with and spend more time with… they tend to be immaculate specimens, well worth learning the nuances of.

As time is perhaps the ultimate chokepoint for all of us, I far prefer this macro to micro choice strategy. (although I understand that other strategies are more psychological satisfying, comforting, or maybe even thrilling for others, so I’m not saying this is the best strategy for all. My tastes run more to the side of “boy scout”.. be prepared, be efficient, hoot hoot don’t pollute, and all that)

As a matter of fact,… I just got a [Raw Power](https://a314.com/product/raw-power/) test pack that that I realisticly will not not be able to test and report on in the way that it deserves. I’d like to find a good home for this test pack with someone who will test and report the whole series. Prefer someone who might not otherwise be able to afford it. PM me.

There are 1.5ml atomizers available. And they even spray a pretty good pattern! This photo is from [Perfume Samples, Perfume Decants and Vintage Perfumes - The Perfumed Court](http://theperfumedcourt.com/Default.aspx) (originally recomended by Brock) Cool place. Several of us have been getting Tom Ford Tabbacco Vanille. (Denec, as usual)

[http://theperfumedcourt.com/images/products/decantgrouplabeled.jpg](http://theperfumedcourt.com/images/products/decantgrouplabeled.jpg)

I have only used the 1.5 and 2.5ml bottles. They are glass bottles with snap on caps. The 1.5 has 12+ sprays. (I think. I’ll watch this next one a little more closely.)

I’ve put a fair bit of research into atomizers. But I was looking for 5ml and bigger. I’ve probably got a link or two to good suppliers for the small ones. Gimme a few days. I’ll get back to you with more details.

OoohYahhh

Some things only need tested like three times or so to see signs what a mix or [Pheromone](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) does for me some I need more to get a grip on like Mix 292. Now Mix 272 three times and I got that one down.

The raw power test pack is the first set I have to test out and 6 of them, seems like a lot. Just take one and run with it and have fun. I have no clue why people need more than one test pack to test out. Three or four times having the same mix on you should see some things that stand out for that mix. If not than you have ten or more tests at 3 sprays after that with the Togo’s and that should do it.

I might go out too much so I might pick up more hits to a mix than others? Or I am a Phero junky that is always looking at what does what!
