This question comes from my relative inexperience with pheros, and I’m wondering if anyone can offer some insight…
Are the effects of pheros on others stronger just after a fresh application than they are after the pheros have “settled in”? - I guess what I am trying to ask is if the “hits” (good or bad) are more blatant or obvious just after a fresh application than they are after they’ve settled in and the scent has gone away.
For me, I am aware that I am wearing them just after I put them on, because I reek for a good 15-30 mins after. Once the scent dies down, I don’t notice them anymore (other than whatever self effects I may be feeling). I suppose that’s where noobs fall into the trap of applying more too soon. They can’t read hits, so they can’t tell if the pheros are working, so they think they need more. I don’t do that, unless at least 6 hours have past, and I feel l need a boost.
Personally, I don’t like the way I smell after I apply them, so I try to put them on up to half-an-hour before I’m going to be around others and/or targets.
Nobody has ever commented on the way I smell with the pheros, other than my sister, who I share a place with right now. She hates the scent of Instant Female Magic in particular. She can smell it around the house just after I put it on, and she’ll make comments like I shouldn’t wear that around girls that I’m trying to impress. Then later, when I am in female company, whether at work, around friends, a target, or a date, I don’t perceive any negative effects.
I find the same thing with A314: I don’t like the smell, myself. It’s a strong smell after fresh application, but when it settles in, I don’t sense it on me anymore.
My sister’s comments make me wary of applying the pheros immediately before coming into contact with a target or other people. On the other hand, when the stuff has settled in and I can’t sense it, it makes me wonder if no one else can sense it either (and hence wondering if I didn’t put on enough, or if I OD’d and put on too much). It feels like a bit of a dilema.
Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated!
