Thanks to April, I was able to get some freebies: MX100, MX102 and MX103 to test out šŸ˜® Iā€™ve been testing out MX103 since I read it was ā€˜easierā€™ on you than the MX102ā€¦ I felt that people were a bit distant from me, but Iā€™m not sure it was because of the ā€˜respectā€™ that people are giving me or because they donā€™t want to talk to me. I wasnā€™t really being authoritative so Iā€™m not too sure on that. Iā€™ll post a more in-depth thread once I get to mess around with this more. Anyway, to the main point: After using MX103 for a week and not having the best results, I decided to try out MX102ā€¦ I sprayed that once on my neck and I had this worst scent come over meā€¦ Felt like someone slapped my face with a wet, dirty sock and I grabbed the closest thing next to me (MX100) and sprayed it around it (2 sprays) Unfortunately, it still smelled bad, so I ran to the bathroom and washed it off and sprayed another spray of the MX100 (total of 3 sprays). I might just take this week to try out MX100 instead šŸ˜ƒ My main point to this thread is to be careful with the MX102. If I canā€™t stand the smell, Iā€™m sure someone else will think the same. To be more specific about myself, Iā€™m 23 years old and Asianā€¦ Hope that helps. Oh yeah, MX103 doesnā€™t smell like anything to me. Maybe the couple of chemicals left out from the MX102 made my nose not like it. On a totally unrelated note, are the MX148-152 (Chemical Romance) and the [MX200](https://a314.com/product/mx200/) coming on stock? Iā€™ve been itching to try those out. Once again, thanks a bunch April and Androtics for letting me try out these products, -DF ---

Dragon, I know what you mean! I have the same problem with MX103, though. My first bottle of it stank to hell and I wasnā€™t able to cover the scent - just one spray of it and I had that foul smell in my nose for most of the day! So I poured the 90 Dollars down the sink. ā˜¹ My new bottle is a little bit better, but still stinks! On the other hand, the MX105 bottles I got smell great! Iā€™m pretty damn sure that the stink has absolutely nothing to do with the [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) in it. Your MX102 stinks, my MX103 stinks but MX105 smells perfectly after the usual Neroli. My A314 smells good, too! So why should it be the pheromones stinking? I guess itā€™s either the alcohol that they used or some other ingredientā€¦ ---

Nope its the pheromones they didnt use a cover for a reason. I talked to them about it when everyone was complaining about the milky smell. Many of the mixes in the mix section are the exact same pheromone wise just using no cover or different cover scents to test the diffusion. In the case of the Spray A314 testers they were testing different scent packs and mone tweaks. MX105 smells great because it comes with a light neroli cover. The same alcohol is used. MX172 and MX173 were the covered version A314. Tisha ---

But why could a light base of [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) (like my MX105) cover a stink that two full sprays of Armani Black Code canā€™t??? I even composited the stuff 1:1 with this fragrance - and the stank still was unbearableā€¦ Doesnā€™t make sense to me! ---

Because MX105 has more Androstenone and neroli and less of the stinky pheromone that the others have. MX102 has more or the pheromone that is giving off the stink and no neroli. If they tell you exactly why it smells different then they wont get accurate test results. It was looked into after the ā€œsmells like sour milkā€ incident a few months back and they are as they should be. My point is they know why it stinks. MX102 thru MX105 are just slightly tweaked pheromone wisr from one another some with no cover some with cover but all other **added carrier ingredients are the same**. When you get to the higher mix numbers like MX172 and MX173 your getting alot more added pheromones and less of that smelly one, closer to the currant A314 and different covers. Editted to addā€¦ I know alot of people are not fond of neroli but they do use it for a reason. Diffusion is one and the other is its ability to cover the most rancid smells. Tisha ---

I had thought that all formulas of MX102 to 105 are the same, except some mones were removed. Didnā€™t know that they changed the formulaā€¦ Maybe I should give 172/3 a go next time! ---

I have tried MX172 and 173. They are alcohol spray based versions of A314 with a neroli scent. I like the MX172 and keep a bottle on hand. But it is more because of the unique work environment I have. So while it works well, unless you have a real need for an alcohol spray, neroli scented version of A314 ā€¦ the current oil based version is great. If you really want to give it a try, go ahead. Donā€™t let me talk you out of it. Personally I am going with a 30 ml bottle of MX149 next ā€¦ ---

i found when i used mx103 with IO or IH that as the instant wore off (4-5hrs) the mx103 stink came on strong and lasted along time. should have had som cover sent in a to go bottle on me i guess.
