Self Effects
-
-
No noticeable effects
-
Felt happy/content, but kind of serious later on in the day
- Effects on others
As soon as I got to work, several coworkers came to talk to me at my desk. There was a definite increase from my usual work days. Some coworkers even “pledged” to visit me at my desk every day I am working (which is once a week).
- Effects on others
I also had decent talks with coworkers/other people around the office that I rarely talk to. A couple company owner friends who have not talked to for a couple weeks (really seemed like they were ignoring me) talked to me normally.
I had a team meeting and that went very well. Besides discussing work-related issues, they discussed several topics which they usually don’t talk about when I’m around. One of my bosses (who was in that meeting) was INCREDIBLY comfortable with me throughout the day. He’s a pretty funny guy but the amount of joking around that day was much more than usual. He also didn’t shy away from jokes that were not exactly work-appropriate haha
.
My Asian female coworker was OK with me throughout the day, she was definitely pretty comfortable around me but that is ordinary. As I got more serious near the end of the day, she was a lot more hesitant to talk with me and it was fairly obvious.
- Analysis
- Exposure: Seemed to affect a pretty big radius, and pretty quickly too. I’m sure this can be attributed to my “vibe” which is from the self-effects and congruence, but I noticed that the area of effect is pretty big with IG.
- Congruence: I was pretty congruent with the mix, but became pretty serious late day when the IG wore off.
The main thing I learned/proved today was that without A314 and with IG, people are much more comfortable around me. They are more willing to have lengthy, friendly conversations and joke around with me - with regards to jokes, I saw a huge/obvious increase.
However, I did not see any signs of respect that I can attribute to IG. All I notice is comfort/warmth.
I do like how the day went, so I plan to play around with my IG/A314 ratio in future mixes, specifically reducing A314/increasing IG.
Nothing to note about A1, I will need to do more testing. I have seen pretty good results in past mixes (not reported) but now I have it mixed with Perfumer’s Alcohol (Neroli) so I will definitely report on results.
