I also don’t think it’s so cut and dry which one works well for somebody. These descriptions given to the product are useful to try and convey the complexity going on, but there are always different possibilities. It’s also important to remember that you still are the one in the driver seat, and the way you project yourself has a profound effect on the way others perceive you. You might be able to project the IS/A idea of a powerful women, and still pull off wearing IS/B, or you could wear IS/A and try to be a cutesy kittenish sort of girl. And that might work entirely better. I really think you should try a to-go of both of them to see which one suits you better. When it comes down to it, that’s the only way you’ll be able to tell for sure. ---

> [@Stormwarrior](#): > > Well, I don’t want men to get a pregnant vibe from me LOL! I don’t know how to explain what I want any better. I want men to be extremely attracted and see me as a goddess but also be chivalrous and protective. think about what you just said,lol. do you think we are paying good amounts of money to give off “pregnant” vibes? im thinking more research here is required 🙄 ---

Well I tried out IS/A today. WHAT A TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT! I went into town today. First I went into the post office. Before I went in I had one spray on my wrist and rubbed them together. There were lots of men in there and it was crowded so I was definitely within smelling distance. NOTHING! Not a glance or anything. So I put on another spray and went up to the male cashier. NOTHING! I then went to KFC. All of the staff in there are male so first I put on another 3 sprays. Again, NOTHING! I walked up and down the town centre, it was very crowded and I passed lots of men of all ages, but nothing! I mean, I wasn’t expecting men to fall at my feet and beg me to marry them, but I expected something! A glance, a smile, something! To say I am disappointed is an understatement. I even got hits on other occasions with products like pherlure and xcite wipes, but nothing with this! What’s going on? Well I’m glad I didn’t buy a big bottle now. Oh and another thing, I can’t believe how disgustingly rank and rotten IS/A smells! It’s just like strong, horrible BO on an unwashed tramp! ---

LOL im guessing you havent done much reading here. its pretty important to read atleast a little, and with the questions you were asking in this one thread, it was obvious you hadnt. hits are described in alot of threads,what to look for, how they present themselves, ect. you could get a hit just from the smell of the neroli alone, as with any perfume, but you have to be experienced in knowing to look for. the idea that the first day didnt show you much wouldnt have someone who has used [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) before freaking out; i assume you do know that even the most experienced users here have blah days. if your going to determine the effectiveness of a mix by one day, i would either begin reading _or just return the product_ . one point in particular- how long were you in the presence of any of these people? it takes me sometimes 25 minutes for someone in my company to _ **begin** _ to open up and get hits… you just walked by people and expected hits. pheromones DONT work like that,LOL. learn to read. thats my peace here. ---

> [@](#): > > Oh and another thing, I can’t believe how disgustingly rank and rotten IS/A smells! It’s just like strong, horrible BO on an unwashed tramp! i think ISexi smells wonderful. last time i was wearing it to work i lierally had a co-worker say to me, “im not trying to hit on you but you smell good !” he was 20yrs. im thinking we cant possibly be talking about he same product here. ISexi requires no cover… ---

It smells exactly like very strong BO to me. I was sitting in KFC next to some men for about twenty minutes and I was in the post office for about half an hour with lots of the same people standing there but still nothing at all. Pherlure and xcite wipes gave me hits instantly from people just walking past. ---

I was sitting in KFC next to some men for about twenty minutes and I was in the post office for about half an hour with lots of the same people standing there but still nothing at all. Pherlure and xcite wipes gave me hits instantly from people just walking past. pherlure and xcite wipes? interesting. see, i have tried those and didnt get much. but i didnt give them only one afternoon, i gave them 3 days to produce. i think it was the xcite wipes that offered something. im a big self-reactor. when i wear pheromones, i get alot of self effects and usually (but not always) i know a product has a litle something if i personally can feel it. the Sexis here give me self reactions. all of the instant line does too. i have to wonder about your to-go, but then again if you are percieving BO maybe yours is not ISexi ? we should ask Mickaelia if these are the same formulas. BO smell can be found in some men’s products or in unfragranced pheromone mixes. i get a “pee” smell from unfragranced nols, but i purchase my pheros sometimes unfragranced on purpose because i have learned how to cover the scent. not always easy,IMO. again, lets see if someone from the company can shed light on this batch. unfortunately, if you detect bad smells, it usually means its chock-full of pheromoney goodness. sad but true,lol. 🙂 ---

It softens my Alpha personality… your lucky. it just sprinkles glitter on mine 😃 i like having both around because my mood changes. im curious about the new batches though, my batch is older. are your instant sexi’s brandnew,Lady? mine is about 3-4 months old. ---

The xcite wipes were pretty good. For example, the first time I used them I just wiped my writsts and behind my ears with one minutes before my boyfriend arrived. As soon as he walked in he looked at me with wonder and said, “Wow, you look even more gorgeous than usual today! Have you done something different?” and then all night he was extra-attentive and complimentary. The pherlure I used at a music festival. Me and my friend carried a bottle around with us and sprayed ourselves every hour or so. Men walking by were gawping at us, lots came over to chat us up, and just generally give us all kinds of good attention. We go to that festival every year and had never had those reactions before. Also, that was in Scandinavia where people are usually shy and hard to get talking to. Pherlure definitely did something. This IS/A on the other hand really really smells bad and hasn’t done anything. I’ve been wearing it for about 6 hours now and nothing. Even if standing next to someone for a while. ---

> [@](#): > > Men walking by were gawping at us, lots came over to chat us up, and just generally give us all kinds of good attention the issue i have with this statement is that everything i know about pheromones disagrees with men reacting from a distance and being affected instantly by walking by. the instant line here, while “instant” means relative to how fast any pheromone can affect the brain and cause transmitters to fire. walking by and smiling doesnt fit the reaction profile for pheromones that i have experienced. this sounds more visual. catching a whiff and reacting to it a few minutes later seems more likely, so in this event i wonder if maybe men react to you visually (i.e. your very pretty/sexy) it sucks that your having a bad experience with ISexi A, but hey,you still have pherlure,right? your probably better off sticking with what you know works. i hope other phero-vets weigh-in with this topic. i want to experience “intantaneous” phero reaction, too !!! i want to know if i have been missing something…🙂 ---

Well the reactions we were getting were much more than when we hadn’t been wearing the pherlure, I definitely think it was that. I don’t understand why pheromones would take a while to work on someone? Surely once they get a whiff of it it should start to work? Although I still have the pherlure, I want something more. The pherlure and the xcite wipes and this other stuff we tried from pheromone99 all gave us reactions, and we wanted even more of those reactions which is why we decided to try smartmones stuff, which is meant to be better. ---

I would bet some of these other brands have extremely high doses on Nol.. giving the “hey look at me” kind of affect. sexiness A is extremely complex concoction which may be too much for some people to digest.. its def not an “easy” kind of vibe which the fast hits of cheaper products may give.. IS/A does give a very deep “impression” at least the feedback I get… people who you forget, never will forget you. If you are interested in a more spontaneous and instantaneous “hit” I think maybe adding extra nol (openness maybe) or shine… or switching to B. ---

Excite Wipes and Pherlure are highly perfumed, wouldn’t you say? Perfume will get you hits whether you wear pheromones or not. I think Excite Wipes are a good product, haven’t tried Pherlure. IS/A doesn’t need cover but I wouldn’t call it a [pheromone PERFUME](https://phera.com/shop/), since it isn’t a complete perfume in itself. You may get better hits with it if you cover it with a compatible perfume. Or maybe it’s just not for you. But in any case, you won’t really know until you try it for a week or so - should you choose to give it a fair chance. By the way, my first week or so with IS/A it annoyed the heck out of me. You sound annoyed, too 🙂 ---

If you have a perfume, you might like to try covering it with that. Try waiting 15 minutes or so after applying the IS/A. Did you wear this around your boyfriend? Random strangers often times don’t make the best test subjects, especially when you’re first getting started with stuff. Most people at the post office, or at your average food establishment just want to go about their business. I’m also sure that the grease in the air at KFC probably overpowered anything coming off your skin. I can’t imagine the smell of chicken is something many people find sexy. Remember, you still have to walk the walk, and talk the talk, pheromones only enhance things. You could try it out amongst friends, and see if you notice anything. ---

Me with IS/B/TAH - TSA repacked my bag after a colonoscopy search (against regs) They forgot my laptop - the pilot let me off the plane, holding the plane for me, while I ran back to the checkpoint. TSA stopped the entire security process, brought it to a halt, and searched every single bin in the every single stack until the found my (white) macbook. Pilot let me back on the plane with a smile. At the connection, I bought food at the food court. I was in a sling from an injury. random strangers took my bag off my shoulders, carried my food for me, set up up at teh gate and told me all sorts of jokes to “cheer me up.” I was not in a bad mood. I boarded first on every single flight and connection. Like, before the flipping pilot. The guy next to me fed me. He took my fork from my one handed gimpy eating and fed me. Total stranger. I was exiting the plane on my last flight of the day, and just when my bubble hit the pilot and lead steward, he screamed out in horror, “WAIT! Ma’am, do you need a wheelchair!?!?” I was in a sling, I could easily walk. That was one day. Crazy awesome, yes? Here’s the downside - I injured myself in a search and rescue operation. I busted my elbow and shoulder, split lip, bandaged forehead. Nice and busted up. But cheery, thank you TAH. However when people would ask me “what happened” and I would tell them, word for word: “I was the lead medic in a mountain search and rescue that turned pretty nasty,” I was often met with chuckles and, “no really, what happened?” There was a vibe of “a little girl such as you couldn’t possibly do that!” Wearing IS/a/TAL - Produced an entire conference for my professional organizations. Over 100 men were sitting listening to me in rapture for hours. My program went over the time limit, and not a soul budged, looked at their watch, or made any complaint. In fact, the evaluations requested MORE time and content. I was considered a subject matter expert, a young woman in a room full of career professionals, in a highly masculine environment. I was told I was remarkable, powerful, strong, admirable, courageous, etc. I was deeply respected and admired. I was consulted for things and given responsibilities that were actually outside my purview. I was described by people in attendance at this event to others as a subject matter expert, a smooth, polished professional, a highly intelligent, out of everyone’s league, woman. I secured a house on the spot, moving myself to the front of the line, bypassing every other application that homeowner had received. When I said jump, they said How High, while in the air. Some women didn’t like me. At All. I was someone to be affiliated with. I was showered in business cards. I was human velcro. People had to be physically dragged away from conversing with me me. I was left to clean up my supplies alone. I was considered very very self sufficient. I was considered to be entirely alright to be left alone. I had to suggest dinner and drinks, then wow, everybody wanted in on it too. At dinner, most everyones bodies were pointed to me - even those sitting right next to me. They would sit sideways in their chairs to face me, not their food. I met my current SO wearing TAL. I’ve worn TAH around him, and he gets frustrated. He likes a strong, partnering woman, someone whom he wants as a friend, not as an accessory. Instead of thinking what you want your prince charming to DO to you, think rather instead how you want to INTERACT and RELATE to your prince charming - Do you want to be the arm candy accessory, thought of as pretty, beautiful, happy, cared for and loved… but perhaps not viewed as an _equal?_ Or you do you want to share your lives together, as equals, and have him respect you as an equal? Sometimes its tossed around here that Alpha Men like TAH and others like TAL. I disagree. I don’t think it’s black and white like that. My SO cant be MORE Alpha… yet despises TAH. Loves TAL. I think it says more about what a man is looking for in a woman, and what kind of man you want to attract. There’s a place and a time for both, and both can be worn by everyone, **in certain amounts** with few exceptions. I can wear TAH in a MX like 135 around my SO, and he’s good. I’m not showered in affection like when I wear IS/a, but he’s still there. Going too far into the TAH and I start to get the negatives from him, and the overt reactions from the other men. Wearing too much TAL, and I was totally ignored socially at a bar once. I had impeccable service from the staff (someone to be affiliated with, someone with status), but unapproachable (too much status, too out of their league). So going too far works both ways. 😉 Hope that helps. I just added my confused ramblings to the mix! ---

Oh, and the smell issue… Do you like Axe? I think the [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) smells like a cheap Axe spray. Its not BO and it’s not hideous. Is your nose broken? Did you ADD anything to it?? Neroli is very inoffensive. It also dies down quickly. I bet you didn’t see any hits because you were too preoccupied LOOKING for them, and came across as the creepy girl, checking everything out 😉 OR were so concerned about the smell, you came across as nervous, no matter that TAL vibe you sent out. Tomorrow - Spray 2 sprays to the back of your neck/head. Spray your perfume/body splash/whatev’ up front. Forget what you just did. Go out and have your day. If something happens out of the ordinary - dude, that guy just walked into a street light! (happened to me) - you’ll see the hit. 😉 ---

The fact that you were getting hits in the airport suggests that those pheros can give instant hits then, it doesn’t have to take 20-odd minutes for it to work. I wasn’t being creepy or nervous in the post office, I was sitting there packaging stuff for about 15 minutes and thenjust standing normally in the queue for about 10 minutes.
