Other day, other situation, other mood.
It is never really the same so this is not surprising. It dan happen even if you are used to ![]()
I normally use 12.5mcg but once i decided to try 2 drops of A-1 as was going car journey with some friends two of which where women i know can be very moody at that time of month and as was not sure if they were so this was just in case. I did also have some socials on as well plus GIT cover.
About hour after application we got in the car and straight away both women started commenting on the smell, the guys smelt it but not as much. It was describe as smelling like sh*t, fortunately there was a puppy in the car and that got the blame. Once of the women complained for about 5min till everyone told her to shut up, after that no more complaints.
So if using in high doses cover well.
Have not worn drops since then only diluted, as only use at low doses and in mixes have not noticed down effects, will try it on own and see of get that withdrawn feeling.
To my nose, A1 smells faintly of pee. It’s far milder than the strong piss/BO funk of androstenone but still in serious need of cover. You never wanna smell like you need a change of underwear…
so how much mcg’s is 1 spray of IFM? Like Pago, i think A1 combines very well with socials such as Nols, and i had trouble pairing it with Androstenone. I will try it with tac and meo-est…my friend luckily got some experimone Androtics A1 30ml’s a while back…
yep. hands down my favourite pheromone in terms of the intense reaction u can get
Soooooo, high dose A1 = not what I was expecting.
I just now read the comments about A1 smelling like like piss/crap and while I didn’t pick up on this smell myself, it’s possible other people did. I did not cover it with anything other than the neroli PA I have it diluted in. Wore 150mcg to the forearms, neck, chest.
Self Effects:
Nothing for about 15 minutes. Got to my 10am meeting and after about 10 minutes I started noticing some changes. I was VERY fidgety. I couldn’t sit still at all. I had to shake my leg, or my foot, or tap my pencil, etc. I started getting a small headache after about 30 minutes. At about an hour into it I felt extremely out of it. Kind of felt light-headed, but not in a dizzy kind of way. Not sure how to explain it. I was definitely MUCH quieter than usual, and I had a sudden feeling of being tired. As soon as the meeting ended I rushed by to my apartment and hopped in the shower. I could still smell it on me so I hit myself with a shot of original AMMO. I figured the -none might balance me out a bit somehow because it usually pumps me up. I think it helped a bit. I feel better now, but still a little off.
Effects on Others:
Two girls to my left were playing with their hair so much it seemed like they were going to pull it out. Don’t know if I can contribute this to the A1 or not because girls just do this on their own sometimes. A girl on my right was just straight staring at me like the entire meeting. Not saying a word, just looking at me. It kinda creeped out. Didn’t notice anything else because I was more concerned with the self effects once they kicked in full throttle. Nobody commented on how I smelled, I just hope I didn’t come off as too offensive if I did smell bad. I couldn’t smell anything.
Conclusions:
Up to this point I’ve worn up to 75mcg A1 without any of these negative effects. I think the reason it happened this time is because I usually have A314 and/or some -none on which probably buffers it out in terms of self effects. A314 and -none tend to pump me up so that’s most likely why the A1 hasn’t done this to me before. I think I’ll keep it at 25-50mcg from now on. I’m glad I did this experiment though, and I hope other people can learn from it.
I totally agree with this. I get absolutely no negative effects when using low to medium doses of A1. In fact I even get positive effects - it makes me feel really chilled out and mildly serene. When I got my bottle of A1, not knowing how to use it I ended up with wearing something in the region of 8 drops. Don’t know how much that is, but it’s a really silly amount - must be a couple of hundred mcg’s. Anyway, like Tisha said I wasn’t depressed in the classic sense, but I was certainly more withdrawn. I became completely silent and non-talkative, I consciously wanted to talk but I almost physically couldn’t.
The best way to describe it would be (OK not the best, but the best I can come up with at the moment): say your at the gym and you do 10 reps of a certain weight to pretty much failure. Now no matter how much you tell your body to push out another rep your body just won’t respond properly as intended. In some cases it isn’t mind over matter - I wanted to talk, but there was a mental split and I just couldn’t say much more than the bare minimum. I must’ve spoke approximately 10% the amount of words I normally would do, and that 10% was painful to spit out. I’m not even a huge talker anyway, so I was pretty much silent that evening. A1 can certainly hinder speech in men, and if you look closely you may see this happening to guys around you even at medium doses.
I’m not trying to discourage anyone from experimenting with large doses of A1 - it’s not the end of the world if you do - but if your like me you’ll probably find that the best results come from 25-50mcg.
Today I decided to wear my usual mix of A314 and IS but upped the A1 to 100mcgs.
Applications: 3 drops of A314 around the neck and behind the ears
1 spray of Instant Shine to the throat
6 sprays of 25mcgs A1 to the neck and to both hands.
Self Effects: I felt really giggly and chipper. Kinda like someone had told a hilarious joke and it was still stuck in my head.
Other than that I felt the usual confidence from A314 and also felt very driven, focused, and on point.
Effects on others: First off today was pretty and it’s a Friday which generally means the kids on campus are usually in a good mood.
With that in mind, I noticed guys were a lot nicer to me but I didn’t notice much from the ladies. I had a conference with my English professor (female) but I didn’t see any obvious effects though she was quite relaxed and helpful while she reviewed my paper.
Later on I picked up my mom from work and we went for some lunch. While there two of the waitresses (black girls) stopped me and said I looked like a guy they knew but that I was much more muscular than he was.
Can’t say whether or not that was a hit, but it certaintly boosted my ego!![]()
Conclusion: This is one of the things that frustrates me sometimes about A1; it’s effects can be so damn subtle you miss out. However I will say that once again I wasn’t on the recieving end of any bitch fits which is always nice!![]()
I do agree with Wildflower though that too much A1 can make me quiet so I’ve found that Instant Shine is a great tool to help balance the effects. All the same, I find that 25-50 mcgs seems to do the trick and increasing the dosage doesn’t seem to do much else, however more testing would need to be done to confirm this.
If you mix A1 with regular cologne / after shave in a ratio to give you 25mcg per spray, is the duration of effect shorter than just putting one drop of the standard solution from the bottle (40-45mcg/drop)?
I have worn 2 sprays of 25mcg mix (using Only The Brave by Diesel), and the effects seemed to fade after about 3 to 4 hours. When I re-applied one spray, my target suddenly perked up within 2 - 3 minutes of coming back into the room.
Coincidence? For sure, mixing with cologne improves the smell! But it seems to have a shorter duration of effect than using the neat solution from the dropper.
