I constantly read here in journals:

1 spray of this +  
2 sprays of that +  
1 drop on chin +  
2 sprays on har…

Is it too much scents? I put 1 spray of A314 (to-go) and 2 sprays of IS and I feel like a mobile parfume store, and I feel very uncomfortable with these strong scents and the cloud around me. That’s because, in my environment (work or socials), NOBODY wear any parfume, I am the only one from the people I meet every day?

How to put 2-3-4 different mones at a time when I feel uncomfortable with just 1-2?

Am I right? Please give me some advices 😕

A314 spray is in 6% [Akuto](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/akuto/), whilst the Instants are in 6% Neroi - **All** of these will settle to a fairly light scent after half an hour or so and you should be fine in most situations, even with a higher number of sprays.

And despite what you may think, scents are pretty good in the get-to-know you arena. People like them, for all sorts of reasons and without a scent, pheros would generally diffuse less effectively and the rather distinctive smell of the pheros themselves may be unpleasant to some. The “Stealth Diffusion” mixes are a big step towards improving this greatly though, so maybe once they roll-out fully, you will have better choices, although they do still smell a little for a while after application.

IME, your only real problem is the “no Scent” environments that are often found in some workplaces and there, A314 oil is the only effective solution here as it settles so light - You still need to apply it at least half an hour before you go-in, again to let the scent settle. 🙂

I am a purist. If I layer anything its only 2 or three at Maximum.

You don’t have to put on 2-3-4 different things, unless you are layering single molecules. Its why we invented the Instant Line. One or two sprays of one thing and you are good to go.

Stick with the basics and don’t worry about trends. 🙂

On the other side though - three or four sprays can be spread out on your body. Wrist, Neck, etc. Its less intrusive.

I have the same issue. I’ve never been a cologne type of guy, so I feel very self conscious when I spray this stuff on- even when people tell me i smell nice I get a little weirded out.  
I am planning to see how much of each product I need to get the reactions I am looking for. Once I do, I plan on ordering the mones with that dosage. For example, if I find that I like 2xIS, I will just order IS at double strength. So I only have to use one spray instead of two.  
Come to think of it.. when you or a 2x or 4x dosage level.. does the scent -of neroli or akuto- double as well?

No. The scent component remains constant across the strengths.

Thank you all for your replies.

Yes, you are right mobocaster, my problem is a very strict “no scent” environment, both in work and socials 🙂

Everyone comment on me, something like “what happened to him?” 😉 , so I started to feel a bit embarrased sometimes. If you understand what I mean 😉

I started to consider Stealth UF2.5

[Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) is not a cologne its a EO. It may smell strong when you apply but drys down light even with 10 sprays. I can wear 10 spray and still use a cologne to cover and not be over scented. If your not covering it with anything else and people comment you smell nice just tell them its a new soap your using or something. Most people except that because its a fresh unobtrusive scent.

Frankly I cant smell A314 at all once my husband applys it.

Ammo is a cologne so thats another issue. You may have to limit that one at work.
