Just tried out A314 oil yesterday. Temperature mid 50s, about 60% humidity. Most of the day spent in the office, and in a steak restaurant after work.
Used one drop, applied behind ears down jawline. Residue applied to pulse area of wrist. Time of application: 8:15 AM.
Smell / Odor
Very strong. I like the smell, but strong. Reminds me of baby powder or baby oil, but different. I’m very sensitive to smell, so I didn’t know if others would find it strong.
Self effects
Nothing immediately, but 15 minutes later, I noticed I was walking tall like a boss on the way to the subway. Could it be the A314?
I notice I’m feeling great for most of the day. There wasn’t increased energy, but I felt confident. Here’s an example - there are times when I consciously change body posture, voice tone, body positioning, etc. when trying to subtly dominate others - this time it came entirely naturally.
Length of effects
Hard to tell. I’m in my upper 30s, and already treated somewhat respectfully/deferential. Maybe partly my age, party my attitude. But I did notice some things -
2:00 PM - Waiting on line for coffee in building lobby, a woman in her mid 30s attempts small talk. Not so unusual, but it felt like I was talking to an intern, and not someone around my age. Weird.
3:00 PM - in a meeting. The project lead - a chinese woman in her 30s, stops to sniff the air. She seemed a bit confused, then continued the meeting. No one noticed but me. Not a “hit”, but weird.
7:00 PM - in a restaurant. Met a relative who I hadn’t seen in a few years. This is a relative, so we’re physically close. He mentioned about me getting up there in years. Maybe not a hit, but something unexpected from this person.
8:00 PM to 9:45PM - My family and I are seated next to people we’ve never met before. I make small talk with them. They’re very deferential as well… but I can’t tell if it’s the social dynamics (white collar worker sitting with blue collar workers), but before the night is over, we’re all joking together. Not unusual, except for the initial “extra respect” I’m given.
11:30 PM - I can still smell the A314 on me. I’m very sensitive to smell as I mention. My wife (Japanese - 30s - more sensitive to smells than I am) tells me to take a shower, because I smell like an older man. I told her maybe it’s from eating all that meat. She mentions that I’ve been smelling like that since she picked me up from work at around 6:00. She tells me “it’s that ‘oily man’ smell men get. It’s too strong, wash it off” She knows my natural smells well. She can smell clothes I’ve worn, after washing them. She didn’t know I was wearing A314, or what the effects are supposed to be.
I’m now a believer. 
Epilogue
This limited test is intriguing. I’m going to try it again a few days from now - weekend and all. I forgot to mention: I have 2 kids under the age of 5, and there was absolutely no difference in their behavior.
