This is my 1st test with MX412
Background
MX412 has been touted as the replacement for A-1. I have A-1 (from LS) and have tested it. The cuddly feelings and the PMS relief that women feel with A-1 are well documented. K-Train has an entire page dedicated to A-1 here: Androstadienone Guide

Effects to others
My test subject was a waitress in a diner. She was exposed to MX412 while taking my order. I sat next to the register so she got several whiffs. She seemed perky to begin with so. No special attraction from her or cuddly feelings that women get with A-1. The female manager also used the register…ditto, Nada, Nothing. I’d assumed that they were not exposed enough until the self effects kicked in.
Self effects.
The self effects of this mix were so familiar. I immediately recognized the main component as being P130. My P130 report is here: First test P130. I also recognized TAA. The self effect were like mixing Instant Shine with P130. I have not tried it but I believe that this is what this mix is.
Duration of effects.
3 1/2 hrs
Effects from mixing with other products.
Solo (N/A)
Range
3 ft. or less. She was standing near me.
Time exposure.
Subject: 10 minutes. Self: 3 1/2 hrs. There seems to be a longevity to MX412. I applied it at 11am and started to feel the effects dissipate at about 2:30pm.
Conclusion MX412 does have a calming effect but there is no cuddly feeling (for the woman) to it. Is MX412 a good substitute for A-1? No. To give it that nice romantic feeling MX412 could use a dash (1.0 mcg) of none.
There seems to be a longevity to MX412. There was a really long drop period. It was not like the “sugar rush” crash of Instant Shine. It was like the slow parachute drop of P130 but with a touch of the instant shine “sugar rush” drop.
This mix has potential but not as a standalone. I really like P130. However adding Instant Shine caused an unpleasant come down similar to the “sugar rush” crash of instant shine. I would imagine that MX412 would be good in a mix perhaps with A314 and TUTH.
