Well, just got my order in at 10:30am since I the mones overnighted, I have no patience haha. Anyway, I showered and applied 2 sprays of the 1x [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) to my neck. It’s been about an hour since I applied it, the smell is very strong, I definitely still smell it but I’m not really in love with the smell, I feel like I’m wearing laundry detergent. The self-effects so far, I feel a bit light headed and a bit relaxed, but I think the light headedness is more from the smell than the IS itself. I’ll update this thread as the day goes on and see if I notice anymore effects. ---

Self-effect of IS is actually quite strong… at least initially. Took about 2 weeks before it wears off. Also, personally I found that 1x IS is very weak. Since you can’t OD it, I am now using 1-2 sprays of 4x as a touch up to any social mix. Keep the reports coming 🙂 ---

Now if you said you had FF21 then I would be like yeah that makes sense since the consensus seems to be that FF21 smells like Laundry Detergent, but I have never heard anyone describe [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) (The scent in Ishine) as that before. I wonder if anyone else is thinking that too and hasn’t posted it.😉 ---

Well I mean just like the mones react to everyones skin differently, I guess they smell different to me. The smell is not as strong anymore to me, although I do still smell it every 10mins or so, thats probably because its a new scent to me. And although to me it smells like laundry detergent, it’s not bothering me anymore, it just smells like I’ve been wearing fresh out of the dryer clothes with that nice smell to them. One thing I can tell you though is that it does not smell anything like oranges to my nose. I’ll keep you guys updated as the day progresses. Thank you to everyone who helped me order the right products and androtics for sending me the products so quick!! ---

By the way, are there any other mones you guys would suggest for that “feel good” feeling? I have the following: [Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/) IS IH IO CTTM2 Spaceland TUTH I have only tried IS so far because of all the good things I hear about it from everyone on the forums, I will try out AMMO tonight, and spaceland before I go to bed to see how it works on me. ---

You’re right it does react to everyone’s skin differently that’s why I asked if anyone else was having that response. I deal with clients every day and I like to be able to inform them what others are saying 😉. Its a unique experience and I’d like to know if anyone else has experienced this. My question still stands 🙂 ---

> [@pharoh56](#): > > …are there any other mones you guys would suggest for that “feel good” feeling? Hey, dont know what its got in it probably a bit of everything you just mentioned? But go try yourself some liquid sunshine - experimone MX138 . It works wonders for me - watch for the changes in mood when you know a situation has just turned a 360 and you enter into a space of suprising peace and potential from what was 10 minutes previous really quite normal . Now . . what you do with that opportunity is up to you, Go experiment! Liquid Sunshine its a real uplifter, relaxer and feel gooder. ---

IO can also be an uplifter.. it usually takes a high dose to notice it though. ---

I suggest you try [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) next and do it around a lot of people indoors; and note the self effect and effect on others. Then try it with Instant Shine. Then try Instant Honesty by itself then add it while wearing Instant Shine and Instant Openness. Generally all the commercial stuff can be used together. Just a note Instant Shine, Instant Openness, Instant Honesty, and CTTM2 are all social pheromone mixes. When you get to Ammo and TUTH try them with one or more of the socials. Have fun. ---

Thanks for everyone for their input, I will try out all of you suggestions! As far as the rest of the day goes, after the initial application, I applied 2 more sprays for a total of 4 within a 2 hour time period. I still did not note any self-effects, but I did start liking the smell because every time I got a whiff of it, it reminded me of just stepping out of the shower and being so fresh and so clean clean! I didn’t notice any of the people around me acting any different, but I will continue to try this stuff out, tomorrow I’ll put on 4 or 5 sprays after I get out of the shower and let you guys know how it goes. ---

I think it actually was working on you, because it sounds like you felt really nice and uplifted a bit. The way you described that fresh and clean clean feeling that you felt. Sometimes you don’t realize you are having effects when you are having them, but then when you stop and look back you realize you did. You sound as though you were feeling really good. And yes, it can cause light-headedness a little, too. ---

Also, when you try it again tomorrow, after you put it on, just forget about it, go about your day as normal. Sometimes its worse to dwell on it and wait for every little feeling or reaction that might possibly be a hit or self effect. Maybe take notes or something throughout the day, but wait til the evening to think back upon the day as a whole, thats when you will see them best. Kind of like trying to look at fairies or ghosts, you can’t look straight at them, you kind of have to look at them peripherally. ---

You know this is funny, because you keep mentioning how you really like the smell. I’m wondering if that might not be an effect itself. The smell makes you happy, or is it the Ishine making you happy and you’re equating it to the smell? See what I mean…😉 Jelly bean (its Easter). Make sure when you are around people you are doing something. People will always just walk by, that’s why you should initiate. You’ll notice right away how much happier people are because you stopped them to chat. Happiness loves company.😉
