Can I change this?
First off, I lied. I do have a p93 variant mix. It’s mx203. So I have Instant Gentleman, Instant Shine, Instant Shine (2x), Instant Openness, p74, TAF, and mx203. Don’t ask why I didn’t bring the p93. I should have. DOH!
Okay, so I took some notes yesterday. They are a little scattered because they are my observations over the course of three days.
I started with 1 spray to the throat, the day after 2 sprays, and today 2 sprays to the throat and 1 spray in my hair.
I’m not sure about my family’s reactions because of the fact that a lot of serious shit is going down right now. So there would be a lot of ‘serious’ discussions anyways. It’s not the first time I’ve heard this, but I’ll note it anyways. My dad started off the discussion about family politics by saying, I wouldn’t ordinarily involve you in these types of matters, but you’re older now and I think it’s important that you’re aware of what’s going on. I’d been here for two days, but today was the first day we really talked about it. Eh, not that unusual though, like I said, it’s happened before, though never for something so..close to home.
Ironically, I think IG was the perfect product to bring with me this trip. Long story short, there’s a wedding coming up and I want to show up as a smoothest, most put together family member at the wedding. Not really for me, but for me dad because it’s the first and last impression of me that my extended family will get. I want them to know that my dad is an OG and that he’s raised me right and proper. ![]()
But I have noticed other people’s behavior and IG definitely has a ‘status’ effect to it. As mentioned before, not like a314, but definitely has a ‘status’ aura to it.
Without further delay, my notes:
If anything, IG reactions are either reactions that stick out or don’t stick out at all (as in the effects are hidden under the surface). I think that IG works well for me. Probably best used as a base. People are very receptive, and give lots of compliments (though it’s not unusual for me here in Korea).
So far, I like two sprays. It is enough to make a noticeable difference, as most probably won’t pick up a shift in vibes with just one spray. As I said before, this would probably go well as a base. It would probably pair well with IO and IH. IG has a ‘secure’ feeling about it. It is a ‘classic’ vibe, if you will. P93 might mesh well in the presence of ‘socials’ giving IG more ‘depth’. I think tacitus’s ideas on ‘symphonic’ mixes are applicable here.
P74 might not work as well. I’m not sure why I have that feeling. I"m probably just talking out of my ass here.
It also goes without saying that IS will pair well with IG. I suspect that TAA is an ingredient in IG to begin with.
There seems to be a lot of disbelief that I’m my dad’s son. Probably stems from the ‘older’ impression. Interestingly enough, I was told that I look young today. Funny contrast.
There are some ‘coming of age’ references. My dad told me that some of his students were “interested in me as a man”. What tipped me off was that he didn’t just say that they liked me, or that they wanted to talk to me. He specifically said they are interested in me as a man.
Also, my grandpa didn’t recognize me this morning. He didn’t believe it was me, until my dad justified his reaction by saying that my hair changed, I’m older now, etc…in any case, my gramps might be becoming senile so who knows how substantial that reaction is. What makes me read into his reaction as much as I have is that the day before, he had no problem recognizing me with one spray on. Then again, he was at least 20 feet away. Most of you would probably assert that he was too far away to be effected by the pheromones, but that doesn’t account for any change in my own body language and behavior.
================== End of notes.
I was introduced to a student from Canada today. I’m wearing three sprays of IG today. Two to the throat, one in the hair. I don’t know how he normally acts, but I noticed that he had his hands in his pocket for most of the time. We were also standing and talking for about 5 minutes before I mentioned that he can sit down. He’s 25, I’m 20, but I doubt he has any clue that he’s much older than me. This kind of behavior could be attributed to the IG, but it could also be a product of my dad being the owner of the institute. Meaning, I’m going to receive lots of respectful behavior, simply on the basis that my dad is their boss/teacher. So respect based mixes might hard to validate for me.
Tomorrow, depending on what my schedule has in store for me, I want to start making combos. I’m thinking two sprays of IG as a base, then either layering IS, p74, TAF, or mx203. I think IS will be first up, then p74, then mx203. I think I want to save TAF for last. No idea why, but that’s just how I feel right now.
Oh, another thing that makes me feel like IG emits a ‘secure’ vibe is because of the way my dad’s dog acts right after I put on the IG. He sniffs me, then promptly cuddles up right next to me with his back to me. He does this every time my dad is about to punish him or scold him. Of course this is hard to verify because he behaves that way normally as well. I don’t know what the hell it is about me, but I get the feeling that I’m sort of a security blanket for him. I suppose it might be because I’m the biggest in the family? Or perhaps it’s just my demeanor. I dunno.
