I got my order from AD in the mail today! I can’t wait to road test my new pheromones. I opted to get the Female Wardrobe as a starter pack, plus MX 135. I tend to be somewhat invisible to the opposite sex so I’m interested in seeing what these pheromones will (or will not) do for me. I realize that this is probably not going to be a miracle in a bottle but I’m willing to try it. From what I’ve read on this forum, many of the social pheromones act like icebreakers, making people more comfortable around you. My reserved self could definitely use that extra boost! I plan on starting my semi official reporting tommorrow. Do any more experienced users have recommendations on using 'mones in a colder climate? Winter weather is kicking in now so I’m not sure if I should apply my 'mones before I bundle up or wait until I reach my target, ahem destination.
Yup! Good one, with FW.
Yes, winter will dampen the mone sillage, outside. However, once in a temperate office/home/heated setting, you’ll be fine. For best dispersal, I usually suggest hair as a point(Without hair spray, otherwise your mones will not waif away…) and neck pulse points.
You’ll do well with your tests. I also recommend you take stock in how you are normally, sans mones with others. Do a dry run, with those you want to use the mones around, to have a comparison. Many, if you’re like me, will not do this thinking that they ‘know’… However, you’ll be able to pick up some queues that may not have been readily seen if you didn’t make note of them.
You know, you can’t see the forest for the trees, kind of think.
You WILL do… There is no try! 
1Alpha
I live in frigid NH and I usually apply before I leave the house, but I only work 2 miles away. I apply mostly to the front and sides of my neck and my hair when going to work. I apply other places in less social situations.
I still get hits in the colder weather because there is still exposed skin if I apply in these areas.
Sometimes I will apply some of them before I leave home and apply others in the car. I do this when I am expecting my Bitchy Co-Worker to be having a bad day, I want max results with her.
Welcome, by the way! Read some of the journals here, there is a ton of valuable information to be found. That is how I began here, five or six years ago. Lots and lots of reading!
This post means that I am subscribing and reading your notes every time a new one is posted.
Welcome to the world of Journals!
Thanks for the encouragement guys! So i decided to take your advice 1Alpha and treat today as a dry run just to observe my general impact on my surroundings. I have to preface this by giving a description of myself. Im 5’3 & the epitome of Queens song “Fat bottomed girls”. My vibe ranges from stern (that’s the RBF) to Instant Kid Sister. Most of my male friends describe me as cute and / or fun sized due to my height. Which is a good thing usually but I live in the NYC metro area which is home to numerous off duty models and fashion types. So essentially if a woman isn’t tall, willowy and generally youthfully gorgeous you may as well be wallpaper. Today at work was no exception. I got greetings from the regulars, my immediate coworkers. That was about it though. I have to walk through another department full of cute guys to get to mine and not one of them stirred as I walked past. So I think my invisible status is still firmly intact. Tommorrow there’s a cross departmental holiday luncheon so I think that’ll be the perfect time to deploy some 'mones.
Btw I probably should have mentioned that I work in a hospital. Should I be concerned at all about the pheromones causing an allergic reaction in others?
I used to be invisible, too…and i am only 5’1" and Fat Bottom Girls is my ringtone…
I am tuned in also to see what happens! I believe all the pheromones you got are all in Neroli except the MX135 which I think is the chocolatini scent. I would try the MX135 outside of work first, but all the others should settle nicely enough for work as long as you are not wearing to much spray like 6 sprays or more for a hospital environment.
I would not be to hard on yourself and you are in a good position! I say this because it sounds like you live in an area where a lot of people are the same and you are different which is a good thing! I would use this to your advantage and be yourself with the pheromones and do not stress to much on looking for huge hits to start. Just put on the pheromones and go out there and be yourself and just have fun with it.
Thanks for the advice justintime469. I’ll try to adjust my expectations accordingly.
Hi Somechick03862! Great to meet another FBG. And yes we do make the rockin’ world go 'round.
Day 1!
I decided to start my journal off with reports of my results with Instant Shine. I opted for the To Go version, 1x strength in Nude Fragrance. I figure a social 'mone would be a good fit for my workplace. Something subtle and mellow. The weather was a bit chilly when I started my commute so I opted to spritz on the Instant Shine after I got indoors and warmed up a bit.
Application - 2 sprays to hair, 1 spray to collarbone, 1 spray to each forearm. I opted to spritz on a little Marc Jacobs Daisy after the pheromones dried down.
Environment- Hospital ancillary department, day shift
Self effects - This stuff should be called Instant Happiness! After the mones dried down I noticed that I immediately felt a bit giddy, really bubbly & chatty. I greeted everyone in my path with a cheerful hello & a smile. I’m barely human without at least two cups of coffee so this had to be the Instant Shine.
Effects on others - As I went about my day, the usual people greeted me. I noticed that my supervisor was calm and chatted easily with me in spite of being snappish with others around me. That effect lasted through out the work day.
A few of my other coworkers hung around my work space to chat even though my supervisor was on a tear. I noticed that when I breeezed through another department to grab a cuppa joe the same men who didnt notice my presence yesterday all looked up. Two out of three looked a bit bewildered but the third smiled and said Hi. That same man popped up in my department minutes after I got my 
to ask a question. Not sure if that counts as a direct hit but I made nice and chatted with him briefly.
Overall during the morning my coworkers were pleasant & helpful, even offering to help with a few of my assignments.
The highlight of my day was our Interdepartmental Luncheon. Usually I’m fairly quiet during these events, observing others while I nosh. Today I decided to add two more spritzes of Instant Shine to my hair before jumping into the fray. That was definitely the right choice. The Instant Shine made me feel more confident and in tune with the convos around me. The change in demeanor didn’t go unnoticed. The same male coworker who chatted me up earlier kept staring at me with what looked like mild confusion. Idk maybe the transition from RBF to Cheshire Cat threw him for a loop. After he finished his plate he hovered near me ( less than 2 feet ) but didn’t say anything. I teased him a bit and he actually started blushing! Score 1 for IS! I was also able hold my own in conversation with the Chairman of my Department who decided to sit right next to me, even though there were several other seats available. All in all the luncheon was a success for me. The rest of the day went similarly. No real obvious hits, just people being pleasant and cooperative whenever I was near ( within a three foot range ). I think I’m gonna have fun with my Instant Shine.
Day 2 using Instant Shine!
So I’m taking the advice of some very helpful contributors and reading through other journals / posts about pheromone effects, application, finding your sweet spot, etc. There is a ton of info on this site to read. That said I decided to work on finding my sweet spot with IShine by gradually increasing the number of sprays per application. Today was shaping up to be a killer day at work, so I wanted all the help I could get. The weather was a little warmer today ( 38 deg F ) but I still waited until I was inside to spritz on IShine
Environment - Work, 8:30A - 6:30p
Application - 2 sprays each to hair, collarbones, nape of neck, and wrists. I gave the 'mones a few minutes to dry down before moving on to my department.
Self effects - Definitely not as giddy as I was yesterday, more of a pleasantly happy, smiling at random strangers kinda vibe. The chatty feeling is much the same.
Effects on others - People started chatting with me as soon as I walked in to my department. I tend to say Hi immediately to the other sections ( kind of like a Group thing ) and today I got greetings and smiles in return from everyone I greeted initially. When I went to get my morning java jolt a female coworker proceeded to walk over and talk to me about 10 minutes. Normally we are friendly but we don’t often make small talk about nothing like today. The same coworker offered to bring me snacks and coffee when she thought I might be tied up with a patient for awhile. All of my patients were pleasant & calm, even those who’d been fasting. An older patient decided to pinch my cheeks and give me a hug when her procedure was finished. It was cute in a grandma kinda way. For the better part of the day my coworkers were generally helpful, offering to help me with little tasks. That and random people walking through the hallways would smile & say hello. My most obvious hit happened later in the day. I got a chance to work with a cute guy from a different section. I have a teeny bit of a crush on him and that tends to make my already awkward interactions more nerve wracking. I decided to cheat with two additional sprays of IShine, one split between both wrists and another on the nape of my neck. I made sure I was within 3 ft of him right after refreshing my IShine and letting it dry down. The 'mones began working immediately. He was attentive, offering to help with the bulk of our project, and talking to me about random things for the duration of our joint project. I listened, smiled and made a few jokes which he responded well to. By the time we were finished ( 1.5 hrs, within 2 ft ) he was chatting with me as if we were friends. I was a bit surprised because this same man has previously made references to my weirdness / serious demeanor.
After thinking over that last interaction I had a “mhmmm” moment. There is a part of me that wonders if the positive feedback that I’m getting from people is a direct result of them being influenced by the pheromones themselves? Or whether the feedback is due to me seeming less serious, more playful and having open body language thanks to the self effects of IShine? I know that may seem like a “chicken or egg” sort of question but I’m curious if anyone here has felt something similar.
Both. I’ve learned self effects change body language and demeanor (and way of thinking) and people reply to your body language and energy before they get influenced by the mones. Glad to see your getting results. IS is one of my favorites.

I kind of felt like they bring out the real you, the one you are too reserved to bring out. In my case anyway. I always knew there was part of me that I held back, but things like IShine helped me bring it out. Once that happened, people started responding to my more outgoing personality. I am an INFJ, so I am not naturally outgoing, unless I am in my own little element. When I get positive reactions to my actions, I keep them up, which keeps the other people responding positively to me, which starts a cycle of happy playfulness. I stopped being invisible!
If you haven’t seen it, I have a journal which talks about my experiences with different pheromones/mixes. It’s long, it’s kinda boring, but you might find something useful in it.
Good luck! And keep up the good reporting. There aren’t enough women here!
Thanks Chrisepz & Somechick03862 for your insight 
. I get an incredible feedback loop from IShine. I’m fairly reserved with people I don’t know well so this helps smooth my social / work interactions. Im not shy per se, but I do get anxious about interacting with new people, always wanting to say or do the right thing. That anxiety translates into “analysis paralysis” which causes me to miss opportunities to connect with others. I’m a newbie so I’m not entirely sure which component of IS helps do that but so far it’s been awesome. I’m all for better living through pheromones. Somechick03862, I’m definitely going to keep posting to help add to the female experiences here. I’ve also started reading your journal to pick up some tips on what products to add to my arsenal. I can’t always guarantee daily posts but I will try to post a few times a week. Thus far most of my experiences will be work related cuz I’m a workaholic. Hopefully I’ll be branching out with some purely social settings soon.
That said, onto Day 3!
I think I found my sweet spot with IShine!
Application - 2 sprays each to nape of neck, collarbones, wrists and just a dab above my upper lip.
Environment - Work, 12 HR shift (12/23)
Self effects - Shiny Happy person today! That extra dab above my lip definitely helped intensify the self effects.
Effects on others - I noticed that there seems to be a specific radius for the effects on other people. Anyone that moves within 3-5 ft of me for more than a few minutes at a time seems happy to see me, wants to chat, lean in/touch me or offer to help in whatever Im doing.
Sidebar - I’ve never been a touchy feely person so those reactions startled me a bit. Thankfully the other persons were too busy talking to notice my reaction.
The most obvious hits came from my male coworkers. For instance, a coworker insisting loudly to others that I’m his favorite, while trying to hug me. This was after standing next to me for 10 mins.
I got smiles and winks from the coworker that I have a teeny crush on. He later offered to help me with some of my cases.
In the middle of an OR case, one of the doctors I work with casually asked to take me out to dinner at a nice restaurant nearby. In front of an entire team of people (including my maybe crush) who are all aware that he’s married, with children. I spluttered but recovered quickly, laughing it off.
Another doctor I work with gave me his lunch when he realized that I inadvertently worked through my break.
My female coworkers were all surprisingly cool through out the day. There was none of the usual infighting, at least around me. Maybe it was people getting into the holiday spirit but I’d like to think it was my IShine at work. I also noticed that people were increasingly chatty during the day. If IS can bring out that side of people, I’m almost afraid to see what will happen with IH and IO.
Oh btw can anyone recommend a good cover scent for my 'mones? I read a sticky post that recommended Aquolinos Pink Sugar but I’d like a few more options.
I would be interested in seeing a IS/B and IShine combo around your crush at work!
Great start and thank you for taking the time to write this nice journal. If I can help in anyway just let me know. I have actually tested some of the women’s products so I get an idea of what they do and how it would effect me. I posted in my journal if you are interested and I have reported on IS/A, IS/B, MX274, and A oil in Nude.
Great work so far!!!
Hey just, you’re teaching her some arson. 
I am going to second that! Try ISB and IShine around your crush. It always got me good results . Wore that combo a lot around one of my crushes and it did get me some definite interest!
Give it a try!
It’s quite alright Dee. I was that odd little kid who liked to play with 
so arson is right up my alley. Thanks for the suggestions Justin. I’d like to Road test an IShine /ISB /IO combo outside of work, at a happy hour maybe. So far I’m trying each of my pheromones singly to document the effects. Once I get a handle on how they mesh with my body chemistry I’ll move on to mixing them. I figure I’ll give myself a week with each and go from there. This weeks selection was Instant Openness. Sorry to cram a few days worth of notes into one entry. I figure things will settle down after the holidays / new year.
This is my first time trying Instant Openness and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I opted for the To go version in Nude Fragrance, with a little Chanel Coco layered over it.
Environment - work!
Application - 1 spray each to chest, forearms and hair
Self effects - I thought there were none, but by day 2 several coworkers pointed out that I was chatting more.
Effects on others - I thought the effects were less than subtle at first. That is until I realized that nearly all of my coworkers took advantage of any opportunity to have convos with me. And I do mean any opportunity. Several coworkers divulged information to me about their feelings on other coworkers, their spouses / girlfriends / mistresses, the management and numerous random things that I never really wanted to know but could prove useful in the future. This has made many an interaction smoother particularly when dealing with nervous or anxious patients. I was told repeatedly that patients felt they could trust me and I put them at ease. All excellent responses in my line of work. I had a few other people tell me their entire life stories, which was highly entertaining. I definitely got fewer bewildered looks than when I was wearing IS, which I kind of miss. There’s been no lack of acknowledgement from others even if it’s just a smile and nod but it’s not quite the same.
Effect duration - I got an effective time of 6 hrs or so from my initial application of IO.
Just an aside, has anyone attempted to make a “truth serum” of sorts using IO and IH? I think that would be a viable alternative to sodium thiopental.
I’ve been away from my journal for a few weeks but I’ve still been wearing my 'mones, with varied effects. Thus far Instant Shine has been a clear winner. The effects are immediate as soon as I spritz it on. I feel happier and people respond more readily to my presence. And when I say “people”, I mean men. The attention is flattering but became a bit overwhelming for my introverted self. I took a pheromone break, of about 5 days or so. During that time frame I noticed that several male coworkers responded to me in the exact same manner that they did while wearing IS. I’ve read other journals where users reported something similar, almost a conditioning of the people around them.
I also noticed that IS seems to intensify the effects of other pheromones that I layered it with. For instance, IO seems to be a hit with my older patients. It makes them mellow and they all remark on how nice I am. I’ve gotten a few hugs and pinched cheeks while wearing IO layered with IS. I also had a few interesting moments with other individuals telling me their life stories during random encounters. I’m guessing the IO makes me appear more trustworthy and / or willing to listen to them.
Today I had an odd encounter with a police officer during my am commute. I’d like to think the pheromones helped a bit but that may be my biased opinion. I’ve been working at the same hospital for the last 10+ years, driving a predictable route each day. I have a lead foot and I couldn’t tell you the speed limit of any road I drive regularly. As I’m flying down the road closest to the hospital I notice a squad car across traffic from me. Problem was the officer noticed me too. As he pulls me over, I’m nervously rummaging through my bag to find my license and registration when I notice my bottle of IS. I usually apply it right when I get to work but I figured “Wth it couldn’t hurt”. So I apply two quick sprays to my hair and chest before the officer gets to my window. I was polite, very “Yes sir, no sir” cuz the last thing I want to do is start my day with a ticket / possible fracas with the law. The police officer tells me that I was driving 65 mph in a 35 mph zone, which sounded about right. So he steps away to run my info and I’m thinking that I’m gonna have to deal with fines, points on my license etc. When the police officer returned my license & registration he asked where I was going in such a hurry. I explained that I was heading to work, at the hospital right up the street. At this point I’m not quite sure what’s happening because he starts asking what department I work in and how long I’ve been working there. After the little interview, the police officer proceeds to tell me that the ticket that he was writing would have entailed four points on my license plus a hundy or so in fines but he decided to let me go with just a warning to be careful in the future. I nearly jumped in my seat I was so surprised. I have never been able to talk my way out of a ticket, or well anything, before so I know that wasn’t my skills at work. I think it was my IS. The rest of the day just got better from there. My supervisor didn’t even chide me for being late thanks to my convo with the officer. That basically made my day.
Hi!
This looks like a promising journal! I’m subscribing too. 
You really get great results with IS. It inspired me to try mine again. Back at the time I was a beginner, it didn’t work THAT great for me. But maybe now, with more experienced eyes, I can see it’s true potential.
Welcome and please keep posting.
