Hello there!!! I recently bought [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) 2X and I’ve been using 2 sprays in neck and IO 2X in wrists. In spite of the neroli scent I can smell a very bad odor underneath, and people have told me I stink 😮. It is even worse when I use C7 ad NPA unscented from the other place, I am a walking stink bomb I’ve been covering with my colognes(Le Male, Angel, D&G) but the smell is overwhelming and people are repelled by it. Maybe is my body chemistry, but what to do?😕 The only reactions I’ve bee getting is people complaining that something stink 😃 Man, I really dont wanna return it, I want to make it work for me too. Any advices? Thank you ---

Odd, very odd. IS smells good to me. What does it smell like? ---

It’s like shit man, but the weird thing is I started using [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/)(C7 unscented) about 1 month ago. I wore it sometimes without cologne and found the smell quite pleasant, and people didnt complain(Maybe they didnt wanna tell me 😉) but react I’d say very positive. I dont know what happened but some day I couldnt stand nor even 1 spray, neither my friends and people I interact with. It could be OD but I’ve washed very well application points and waited 3 day before wearing again. I’ve tried different colognes but nothing works. I turned none-sensitive magically. What cover you use? ---

Have you tried it standalone without the IO? ---

It could be as simple as a reaction to your personal body chemistry. Everybody is different and hence why we emphasize that one size does not fit all 🙂. I would first ask why you got double strength? What’s your sweet spot with single? Let me guess you threw caution and good testing to the wind and figured more was better, even though everybody here suggests less is more 😉. LOL its cool, cause most guys have no care for their own well being and will always ignore those subtle warnings 😃. We all have done it, but of course this causes an issue. Essentially you are wearing 4 sprays of Ishine. So what happens when you only wear one spray? Have you narrowed it down to the Ishine, because you do say you are wearing it together. Perhaps what smells bad to you actually smells good to others. I’m saying this based on personal experience. Thought I smelled terrible one day and this little minx was all over me saying how wonderful I smelled to her. To this day because of that girl I believe in pixies 🙂. Start doing some testing, unless you have and just didn’t tell us. So maybe its the IO that smells bad. To me IO stinks unholy and just foul! But we do stand by our products and will offer a 100% refund. I know you want to get it to work, but if it doesn’t match up with you, there’s nothing really we can do. ---

I love the smell of IO and IS and have never been told I smell bad when using it. 😕
