Hey Major,
Welcome to Pherotalk! Glad you’ve decided to join us here. Lots of knowledgeable users here. First off, you made some great purchases in Instant Shine, Instant Openness and A314. They’ll do great things to make you seem more approachable. Although A314 might make you seem even more intimidating by your description above. However, by pairing it with some Instant Shine and Instant Openness it should lower that vibe. Experimentation is the key with these mones, but I understand that you may want to get the most out of your new purchases. So the following links will answer all of your questions and more:
A great thread for all around questions regarding pheromones, if you haven’t already read it.
Quote on Putatives from the link above: These are all individual molecules that show potential to be a pheromone, but have not proven themselves beyond our own research. While we encourage you to research, these are not guaranteed, have no support services on what to choose or how to use them. As such, they should be left for a later time when you have a little more experience. Putatives are unnamed molecules for testing and are named with a number to protect the companies interests. The company will not provide you with with any identifying information as to what the molecule is. All reports on the forum are the opinions of those posting them, but testing these molecules sure is fun. Thanks Steve!
