So my BMF came over tonight and we had some time to kill before my BFF arrived for dinner, so we went food shopping at the mall to get some burger supplies.
Him: Mid-twenties, caucasian, rather intense/intimidating all the time. People don’t usually go to him.
Dose: 2 sprays of Instant Openness from my to-go to the neck
Covered with male cologne because he couldn’t deal with the neroli 
As seen from my perspective, where I’m sure I was affected as well but knowing that he was wearing.
Effect on him:
He seemed a little more relaxed than normally but this may have been because he’s been seeing friends quite a bit while he looks for a job. Conversation seemed a little easier and difficult subjects were glossed over without the usual verbal intensity.
Dinner conversation went pretty well with not quite as many outbursts as we usually have (times where we go off on crazy verbal tangents) so my dad and BFF didn’t feel quite so excluded.
Effect on others:
BFF seemed to take a shine on him more than normal and not to be quite as “nervous” around him as she usually is. We had a bit more deep conversation than usual, but this may have been a combo of us three being alone together AND the ice-breaker effect.
At the mall, people were giving him less of a wide berth and were open, friendly. No one engaged conversation but we were nattering together quite a lot.
