Hi all, My name is David, male 25 years old. I am working in Abu Dhabi, UAE, which is like 1 hour drive away from Dubai. I am not actually new as I have purchased a bottle of A314 a month ago, but I haven’t really introduced myself before…so here I am now 🙂 When I purchased A314, I hoped that it will increase my “presence” to those around me (i sort of often “neglected” and not taken very seriously). However, after I started using A314, I began to see how my colleagues react to me differently! It is not something drastic that I can see overnight, but all of them seem to take me more seriously now (especially my boss) and tend to listen intently to what I am saying..definitely good for me and I will buy A314 again! My only concern now is that summer in UAE is coming real soon and when it does, it can get up to 45-50 deg Celcius and super humid. So I am waiting to see how well A1314 will work under such condition. Also, I am curious to try out [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) as I wish to lift up my own feeling (especially in the morning, getting up early to work ). Will the fragrance smell from IShine cover/dampen the effect of A314 if I use them together? Thank you! ---

Hi david, welcome on board. Niceto see the A314 is working for you. Well I hope A314 still works in that heat, I might be coming to work in Riyadh, KSA shortly and fully intend bringing my pheromone collection with me 😉 In all seriousness, the answer is yes, A314 will still work, the only difference is that, due to the heat/humidity, it will diffuse faster so the effects will be more intense but shorter lasting, you may find that you need to apply it after 4-6 hours. [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) contains a product called TAA and is already the fastest diffusing product. It will certainly still work but you may find yourself having to reapply after just a couple of hours. Now, I see this is your first post, if you check out the ‘how do I get the $25 gift certificate thread’ and then post a little more about your personality etc, Tisha will probably give you $25 off your next order of A314 ---

Hello David and welcome. I have spent some time in Dubai and I know very well how hot it can get there! Let me say it is excellent to read you have enjoyed successful with A314. It is a class product that has many fans here. In regards to the heat, I suggest you try some of the “to-go” products. They come in very small bottles that can easily fit in your pocket or be hidden in your lunchbox, office drawer, etc! You will be able to refresh during the day - eg, I often go to work wearing Ammo, Instant Honesty, Instant Openness, then around midday I spray [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/) for the afternoon - this works well for me 🙂 Tisha should be online again soon and she should give you a $25 gift certificate for use next time. It would be great to hear more of you results. Cheers. ---

Hi there, Welcome to the forum. A314 is definitely a good phero and it is my favourite. It will still work in the summer. Maybe you need to re-apply after a few hour. Shine is a feel good phero. It lightens your mood and it lightens the seriousness of A314 too. Do post your results. Good luck ---

> [@davkong](#): > > I am working in Abu Dhabi, UAE, which is like 1 hour drive away from Dubai. Abu Dhabi! I’ve got friends from there, best friends I’ve got. 🙄 I know it’s not exactly [pheromone](https://a314.com/)-related, but have you been to Dubai? Do you like it? I’ve always wanted to visit… I might go visit my friends when they’re back at home some day, and I really am looking forward to it. 😃 ---

Dubai is just down the road, it’s practically the same city. Nice big buildings, modern architecture and big ambitions. Locals and Ex-pats live a great life in general, just don’t get on the wrong side of the Sheik or do anything too offensive. On the flipside, there is a massive slave class living in poverty, mostly from India, Pakistan etc. There are many vacant lots, suspended and abandoned construction projects (since the finanical downturn.) Overall a very safe place, but be prepared to drive everywhere - and get used to indoor shopping malls. 🙂 I haven’t been to Abu Dhabi. Dave tell us more about life there if you have the time. ---

Diamond: Thanks man for the speedy reply! Haha, yup I think the pheromones should be able to work in hot weather, from what I experienced..Cool, you will be going to Ridaydh, but I heard that the local Islamic laws there are stricter than in the UAE, so I hope you don’t get yourself into any trouble especially with the TUTH! 🙂 Actually, I am an easy-going person around people that I am comfortable with such as close friends and family..however whenever I am surrounded by other people with stronger personality (read: alpha male), I tend to shy back and play the silent role. In fact, there had been a few times when my friends brought me out to meet their friends and I will just be sitting quietly, especially if the friend is the chatty type. So i guess i am not the alpha male type. Also, I can be quite moody at times, as claimed by people close around me. Therefore, when i came a review for A1314, i really felt that this is what i need and i have very high expectation towards it, hoping that it will increase my self-confidence and make me feel “braver” when dealing with people at work. BTW i am an engineer in the construction industry. Also, i want to try somethign else other than A1314 than can lift up my mood (and those around me) so that i wont be called moody again, haha. AleaxanderG: Hey, that’s a good idea on buying the to-go size to re-apply midday. Thanks! BTW, are you currently located in dubai? you are absolutely right on the description of dubai..abu dhabi is not a developed as dubai yet, but since the financial downturn it seems like attention has shifted to AD instead of dubai. I have been to dubai a few times, generally life in AD is less hectic and more peaceful. It’s easy to walk from a place to anothr, the streets are organized in grid system, so you won’t get lost easily. Of course, you still find lots of Indians & Pakistani workers here, and there’s a street here called Electra St. that looks like mini India on Fridays as the street will be spilled literaally with Indians enjoying their day off. Jamesbonded: Maybe [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) is wat i need.. 🙂 Pupy: Dubai is a cool place..The first time being there was an experience because you get to see with you own eyes the hype that has been circulated on the Internet (Burj Dubai, Burj Al Arab, Plam Jumeirah, Palm Atlantis Hotel, etc.)..you should come for a visit if you have the chance, really, and while you are there, do drop by Abu Dhabi as well, you might get to experience another aspect of UAE… and..Tissha, I hope I can get my GC… 🙂 ---

Hey there David. Welcome to Pherotalk 🙂 Why the frown in your title ? Seems like your doing well with A314 and that’s something to smile about. A314 is oil based and will work very very well in the hot humid climates so no worries there. I see you interested in Ishine. I don’t usually suggest upping the dose but since your coming up on the hot season you may want to get 2X. Less sprays in case you need to reapply more often so it will be more cost effective for you. If you have any questions just ask, I am here to help. **Your GC is on its way** Tisha Hostess/Guide
