Cross-referenced posts for solo testings of the same putative in my journal: #267 (12.5 mcg / 25.0 mcg / 25.0 mcg, three tests combined in a same report) (There is only this report for now)
These three separate days of testing were my first solo tries of this particular putative. I don’t usually regroup test days as I find it gets confusing. But this time, I felt there was a reason. You’ll understand as you read on.
Location:
TEST DAY #1: Child daycare, Home, Walm*rt, Business supply store
TEST DAY #2: Home
TEST DAY #3: Home
First Impressions:
APPLIES TO DAY #1, #2 and #3: I applied the product in the morning after a shower using a SLS-free bodywash. That putative is said to smell neroli. And that’s what it is. I did not pick up anything else. A few minutes after application, I felt a freezing sensation in the top of my inner nose. It was light however. No other immediate physiological effects have been observed.
Usage & Application Points: Dosage:
TEST DAY #1: 12.5 mcg per spray. Applied 1 X to adam’s apple, for a total of 12.5 mcg. I used no cover scent this time around.
TEST DAY #2: 12.5 mcg per spray. Applied 2 X to neck, for a total of 25.0 mcg. I used no cover scent this time around.
TEST DAY #3: 12.5 mcg per spray. Applied 2 X to neck, for a total of 25.0 mcg. I used no cover scent this time around.
Most Appropriate Environment: This product appears to be usable socially without problems,. I feel it’s also great for the home and for family gatherings. I’m not sure about using this one in the workplace, I’ll explain why later. For flirting, maybe when a deeper connection is desired. It does not look like a sexual molecule, alotugh this could be tried, there might be something to it for LTR, but that’s an hypothesis. The beta vibe it gives out is something to consider when using this one, if confirmed. Further testing will be required, of course.
Types of Effects observed this time:
TEST DAY #1 Temper dampener (self), grounded feeling (self), human vibe (self), colors more vivid (self), projected beta vibe
TEST DAY #2: No effects on others or self-effects noticed.
TEST DAY #3: Temper dampener (self), calm feeling (self), magnet for kids, brings out the kid in you (self).
TEST DAY #1 EVENT SUMMARY
I used this putative on a week day. I opted not to use a cover scent because as always, I wanted to assess the fragrance because there is often more to a putative than the labeled scent. Fragrance gets through to me as normal neroli, but I suspect there is an unscented volatile component in there. I suspect this because five minutes after application, I felt a freezing effect in the top of my inner nose, it lasted like more than an hour.
After the first 15 minutes, I was very mellow with my kids on the way to the child daycare even if one of them was routinely kicking the back of my car seat with his feet. Nothing special to mention at the child daycare. My youngest son’s teacher kneeled again in front of me, but there was no sexy vibe at all from her this time around though. However, my son was very shy again, she offered him to wave goodbye at me through the windows once I would be outside.
I was not feeling a hint of malice that day. I dare say it can have a mood dampening effect (not boosting) altough this is highly hypothetic for now. I don’t imagine myself getting angry wearing this. First impression, it might be nice to wear while working as a volunteer or something like that. I feel mellow and human. I hypothetize this as a good family man’s tool on a weekend with wife and kids at this dosage. I will try at a higher dose next time. It’s hard not to get bias from such a widely discussed product and I hate going into testing with keywords in my head. I made my best to concentrate on my initial feelings, not on the hype. I was alone, I felt connected and grounded. The risk of overthinking while wearing this one seems to exists. My mind wandered a bit a few times. I noticed that the color perception appears more vivid, especially for whites.
I went to the business supply store. While I was waiting in line, a cute redhead, maybe 20, was looking at her phone but she had a nice little smile. Too bad she was so much concentrated on that plastic thing. So, no reaction. No reaction either from the clerk.
I went to the Mart. Nothing special happened there. I did not get angry with the usual ladies blocking the aisles with their carts. So again, I can say I was mellow. An unnattractive older lady hit my cart, I even laughed and goofed around. People’s cars were parked up in anarchic ways in the parking lot because of the snow even though the lines were partially visible. Nothing succeded to anger me, I did not Larry-David on this one either.
Quiet day all around. Trying for a higher dose next time, that’s guaranteed. I feel I must push this product’s limits to see what it’s about. The product suggests a quiet and mellow aura but I can’t help sensing a background beta vibe. And I’m not like that usually, so it annoys me a bit.
I always test putative products solo first, but this one, solo, is not something I see myself wearing often as of now.
I noticed nothing in particular with the kids. Only self-effects were noticed in this day. Not effects seen on others.
TEST DAY #2 EVENT SUMMARY
Nothing in particular was noticed on that day. No clear suspected self-effects. No effects on others. I mean nothing.
This time, by 2h00 PM, the neroli fragrance was gone and I got a funky smell that was not at all enjoyable for me. I don’t experience such breakdowns very often with any products. Maybe I was just unlucky. I shook my bottle before the next use.
TEST DAY #3 EVENT SUMMARY
The kids were buzzing a lot around me. They were very affectionate and gave me lots of hugs and kisses, especially my youngest son. It was a week day, but the kids stayed at home because an ice storm was raging outiside. Schools and daycares were closed.
The kids were acting quiet but playful, they did not raise hell at all during the day. On my side, I feel little self-effects this time around except that I was quiet and relaxed for most of the day. I felt no irritability, but it helps when kid are acting so great, so the context helped a lot. I played a lot with my kids with toys and board games. I had no problem getting out the kid in me on that day. Was it made easier by the putative, who knows. I do it spontaneously from time to time mones or no mones. It helps bonding with my kids.
My girlfriend was acting as usual. Nothing to report there except that at the end of the evening, she sniffed my neck a lot at one point and rabidly. A bit like she does when i have A314 Royale on. It did not lead anywhere, and she did not utter any comment, but she definitely picked something there. It didn’t work magic however.
COMBINED DAY #1**,** #2 and #3 COMMENTS:
This putative is pretty much still a mystery to me, it’s a strange bird. That’s a winner for many, and a simili-dud yet for me.
The results of those three days of testing are quite unconclusive. I even fail to come up with solid work hypothesis.
I’m dumbfounded by this one, but I won’t call it quit. I think I’ll skip to mixes with this one quite fast (Note of the author: A mix has been tried after these days of testing, I suspect that putative works better in mixes than on its own).

Length of Effects:
TEST DAY #1: Temper dampener effect, beta vibe and human vibe lasted for 5 hours. After that, the context could not outline it. The grounded feeling lasted for two hours as well as the vivid colors effect.
TEST DAY #2: No comments.
TEST DAY #3: Temper dampener effect if any was very light and hard to assess in terms of length. Calm feeling was present for 5 hours at least. My kids gave me lots of attention for 6 hours +. The ‘‘brings out the kid in you’’ effect was observed for 3 hours.
Effectiveness & Consistency: That solo putative might be a dud for me at this point. The effects are sketchy, highly hypothetic and not very consistant as of now. I’ll keep an open mind and probably try it again.
Diffusion/Sillage: No sillage observed by me or commented upon by my girlfriend. Most potential effects are on the self-effects side as of now, so sillage would be not so relevant at this point.
