A314 - I bought this mainly for work related environments. I’m a very senior (in terms of experience, tenure, etc. not age 🙂) techie and quite highly regarded in my organization. I’ve always been able to voice my opinions at large meetings, get my point across and get a “buy in” from everyone else with the usual hold outs that need to be coaxed and persuaded a bit more. Every so often, there would be a challenge or two from new comers trying to make a name for themselves 🙂 which I could handle easily except that it got tiresome after a while. How A314 helped - I report to someone who is well qualified to be my boss in terms of years of experience and expertise. In my line of work, one would be surprised how often that’s not the case :-). While my superior values my opinion, I still have my work cut out proving that I am right. I started with one drop of A-314 applied to the wrists and did not get any noticeable effect at the first one on one meeting or larger group meeting. I upped the dosage to two drops (wrists, behind the ears) and at the next meeting I attended, I was almost shocked at how I got everyone’s attention and unanimous agreement on different issues almost effortlessly. An example, I have a normally low voice and have to speak up a little louder at meeting than I normally would. On this occasion, every time I started to speak, I would have the entire room swivel to look a me, listen with rapt attention without interrupting and even straining to hear me since it was a rather large room. My superior needed almost no convincing on this occasion, readily agreeing to my suggestions even on one point where our opinions differed significantly. I turned into a believer after this experience 🙂 Further experimentation with A-314 I upped the dosage to 3 drops on two occasions - one drop to the wrist, one split behind the ears and one on the jawline. I think most people I encountered on these two occasions found me extremely indimidating. Almost no eye contact, people were anxious to end conversations asap and generally extremely uncomfortable in my presence. This was also true of at least two people who outranked me in the organization! These were not persons I would consider insecure by any stretch of imagination so I was very surprised by this reaction. I wonder if this qualifies as an overdose? A-314 with Instant Shine Two drops of A 314 - wrist and behind the ears. 2 sprays of IS (2X) either side of the neck. Didn’t notice any self effects of IS. I however did notice that a lot of co-workers wanted to just hang around and chat. No one was in a hurry to end conversations which would start off as work related and then diverge into small talk. This was especially true of women co-workers even though the men were unusually chatty as well. As far as effecting my superiors, I got a lot of “friendly respect” - a kind of acceptance into an exclusive clique. A 314 with [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) IO is a to-go spray which was a free gift Thank you very much April 🙂 Two drops of A-314 - wrist and behind the ears. Hey, why mess up a perfectly good formula 😃. One spray of instant openness to the neck. Again no self effects from Instant Openness. The effect was very similar to the previous experiment with IS - long conversations, people stopping by my desk to chat - we have cubicles not offices so I suppose the effects spread out a lot more than if I had been stuck in an office. When I upped the dosage of IO to two sprays - again to the neck, I noticed more pronounced effects - people stopping by on some pretext or the other to chat. Then came the real test - asked for a meeting with my superior to ask some hard questions. Given the troubling economic times we live in, everyone reading this can easily guess the nature of questions. I walked in expecting to be fed the standard company line but was completely surprised by a very candid and forthcoming evaluation of the current state of affairs and what course of actions would be pursued in the near future. You could argue that given my stature, I would not have a problem obtaining this information without the pheros but it was the kind of information usually reserved for the highest echelons of an organization. Well, it looks like I will be ordering IO as soon as I run out of the free sample 🆒 Highly recommended as an “interrogation tool”! Overall, I am quite pleased with the results from A314. I actually like the smell which I find quite pleasant. I haven’t made any great efforts to cover up my pheros other than an occasional spray of “Cool Water”. As far as self effects go, I find myself very focused, completely confident and assertive when needed. I suppose acting the part contributes towards some of the success I’ve had. Thanks for reading this long winded post - hope it was useful and any suggestions/comments would be very welcome. ---

Good report. I am glad A314 works very well for you. It works very well for me too.
