Hi,just wondering if anybody bought the latest batch of IShine and noticed it smelled like IO? I know ISx2 smelled like IO. But I didnt know the recent batch of regular strength also smelled like it. It seems like the trademark sweet IS scent is not there anymore. My first bottle of IS that I bought in April still smells the best! ---

MHarris commonly changes the added scent formulations of products. ---

☹ Now you’re all making me nervous! ☹ Wonder if the people in the lab have been affected by SPACELAND and have been putting the wrond labels on the wrong bottles! 😮 😃 😮 :o ☹ ---

I don’t think any of you were customers then, but early [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) had essential oil content that has now been removed. Instant Sexiness did, as well. Otherwise, all Instant line products are currently the same. Keep in mind that one’s own perception of scent changes in time. I’ve never owned a cologne that didn’t smell different to me over time. There’s quite a few procedural checklists batchers and labelers go through to minimize error, but … remember you are always free to exchange anything you feel isn’t right. I’m as interested in squashing bugs out of the process as much as you’re interested in getting the proper result. ---

Ohh maybe examine and I got that by accident.Haha.It really smells like eo was added.Cause there is an extra scent that makes it stand out.Can we request for that essential oil to be added next time?Maybe its what that makes a difference in scent.I still have my first bottle of IS and am still able to compare with the new ones.I don’t mind adding more money for the eo btw.It just smells so good man.😃 ---

You can go ahead and request it in the order notes. I’m not sure if I want to add it as an option to the cart, because people might select it figuring it’s always “better”, when, in fact, many people prefer “discreet” (barely smellable) over nicely scented. I certainly don’t mind providing it to the few who like it, though. Essential oils generally add something wonderful to the effects of [pheromones](https://a314.com/). The only problem essential oils exhbibit is low diffusion, but that’s mostly corrected by the Neroli Musk package used in the Instant line. If you can “stand” the combo (or even like it), I say, go for it. ---

I’m super ok with the EO cuz I live in a warm climate.Its this that makes women really wanna lick us up like sweeeet orange flavoured candy! It attracts quite some attention too. I wonder which EO goes into the IS if you are willing to disclose,as I could be more specific in my order notes.🙂 Thank you!! ---

Being licked up is good 🙂 As far as the EOs go, they’re all blends. Just say the “Shine EO blend” to make sure you get the right one. ---

You remember I asked you to make IShine taste better? It’s because she was always licking my neck! I want my EOs! lol Made any progress on that yummy lickable IShine? I know someone who’d love to test it out for you! 😃 ---
