Everytime I use mx272 or mx292 or both at the same time, and include [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/), the hits go up significantly. I’m also 86’ing the cover scents. ---

Sort of like how you can change proportions of ingredients in a mixed drink. Some like it strong, some don’t, some like it sweet, some don’t, but everyone wants it to “work”. That’s where the “shot” of diffusion enhancers come in. This new methodology will allow us to use the lowest possible amount of cover fragrance. My newest experiments show that we might even be able to offer something _close_ to “unfragranced”, and still have it _work_. Keep in mind, though, that something like MX292 is a high androstenone mix. It won’t be very pleasant without a cover fragrance of some sort. What I can likely do after the diffusion package is done, is to test exactly why molecules help to best cover the androstenone odor. I already have a few favorites aside from orange (and now I understand how the “Game” frag package smells fresh), but there’s got to be more. It’s just a matter of time until I find them. BTW, what do MX292 and MX272 mean to you? ---

What do you mean exactly by “86ing”? MX292 for me is what i first thought [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) would be like before I new anything about them. Instant attraction! ---

Instant attraction! to 86 something means to get rid of it, or you can go with another slang term, “deep six.” mx292 is my hydrogen bomb, but when you include instant shine with other pheros it seems to work even better. i’m still looking for my photon torpedo in my arsenal. 😃 ---

I do have TAA though, I might try adding some of that in to a mix. ---

I’ve used a combo of mx292, IS and IH and it seemed to work quite well.
