So I just got my first order today. Picked up a bottle of Instant Shine and Instant Female Magic. For those who ask, I’m 26M, 5’10, about 160lbs, Caucasian, and an INFJ personality type.
I came home for lunch today, mostly because the DHL tracking told me the DHL guy thought it’d be a good idea to just leave my package outside my front door. No biggie; I got home, opened up the envelope, and there were my two bottles.
I decided to take it fairly easy and not do the n00b thing and go swimming in the pheromones.
1X spray of IS to my hair.
1/2 spray of IS to my left wrist (this was just to see what it smelled like, initially)
1/2 spray of Instant Female Magic to my right wrist (for the same reason above).
First observation:
I was not expecting the IS to smell as strong as it does. It’s not a bad smell, but I wasn’t quite sure if it was more masculine or feminine. I don’t normally wear cologne, so I had no basis for comparison. The Instant Female Magic didn’t really have much of a smell to it at all (that I could detect, anyway).
Self effects:
For this to be relevant, a little backstory. I was rushing to get home in time to get back to work, and I ended up love-tapping/rear-ending some guy in front of me since someone wasn’t paying attention and slammed on their brakes in rush-hour traffic. I was pretty pissed off, and certainly edgy by the time I got home. Luckily, there wasn’t any damage to either of our cars.
By the time I left my apartment to go back to work (with a hefty wiff of IS in my nostrils), I was feeling pretty cool, and much more relaxed. Now, part of it could have been placebo, and it could have been the weight taken off my shoulders when I saw my front end wasn’t crumpled to hell. But I feel the IS did contribute to the smoothness.
Effects at work:
It’s hard for me to tell if the IS had much of an effect on my co-workers, as we’re all pretty mercurial in our antics (including mini Nerf wars and rubber bands). I did bring up a plan of attack to my boss concerning some software we’re going to be installing in the immediate future, and all of a sudden two of my co-workers are listening to my every word. I’m not sure if this is a hit or a coincidence, but the immediacy that they latched on to what I was saying was a little odd (we’re all very busy all the time).
My future experimental plans:
I have a holiday party for work this weekend, as well as a smaller social get-together on Sunday. I’m not really looking to meet any women at these gatherings (sadly, all the HB8+ women at work are married), but I will be looking out for any hits otherwise. Typically, when it comes to large social gatheringss, I have a bit of a self-imposed ghost effect, mainly because I hate small talk. I’m interested to see if I’m more open and approachable due to the IS, and to see what effect the IFM has on the women there.
I also have to-go bottles of Ammo and Turn Up The Heat that hopefully will ship soon.
There is a particular target at the social get-together that I’m on the look-out for, though I’m more interested in her reaction to the Ammo and Turn Up The Heat when it arrives
I may not be able to do that little experiment until next weekend if my order doesn’t ship today (here’s hoping!).
And there you have it. I just sprayed a shot of IS onto the front of my neck, and a shot of IFM on the back, and am about to head to the store to see what turns up
I’m finding I like the IS smell the more I wear it…
