Although I generally tend to be a bit more on the alpha side naturally, I can really go both ways, depending on circumstances.
So I decided to give both IS/A and IS/B a try to see which one would match me more. Tested them mostly around people who already know me, both male and female.
To summarize, IS/A gives me good self effects, in line with what I already am, and I enjoy wearing it. However, I haven’t gotten any hits with it. A younger guy who is attracted to me openly told me I was intelligent and intimidating lol.
IS/B gives me more of the attention I would like to receive, especially from the person I like - touchy-feely stuff, borderline flirts and light-hearted conversations. BUT - it turns me into some kind of a sensitive downer with invisibility issues. I literally feel like I’m crawled up in a corner and if nobody’s talking to me I might start crying. Not good lol.
I don’t think I could pick one or the other and be happy with it. Perhaps there needs to be an IS/C for people who are Geminis and just can’t pick how to act on a regular basis?
I’ll have to give that a try at some point. I’ve mixed IS/A with IH so far and I personally love the mix, it works for ME lol. I’m not sure it works for everyone around me though xD.
As far as hits, it depends on the setting. For going out etc. I would like to turn some heads, but in more of an “important person” way, rather than “cute kitten” way. About the same for work, with some added respect and trust.
I’ve just back in the pheromone game but in the past when I used either IS/A or IS/B the hits I received depended on the personality of the guy. With more extroverted men I received more hits with IS/B but I felt more ditzy. With IS/A which fits my personality and I received more hits from Introverted and/or more serious minded men with the added benefit of feeling more respected in the work place.
I’m also an IS/A girl. I definitely suggest buffering it with socials. I’m also a fellow lover of IH, but in your case, I’d suggest trying to layer IS/A with Instant Shine, if you’re still going for attraction without so much intimidation.
I’d go with John’s suggestion about the MX300 for work, it’s generally recommended to not use the Sexiness line at work. My successful work combo has been IH with TAL (that’s the main ingredient in IS/A, but without the sexuals).
I don’t think there’s been much experimentation with layering full mixes like the Sexiness line with MX’s, go for it and let us know how it turns out! But, of course, ALWAYS get a solid feel for how they individually work for you before throwing things together!
