Hey guys,
So over the past week I have been using IS/b, after using IS/a for about 10 days (which did not lead to any hits or any results whatsoever, aside from a few minor headaches in the beginning).
So, with IS/b, here are my observations… It’s definitely “lighter” than IS/a and although I have both in Neroli scent - I was able to tell the diffeence almost immediately. Secondly, I feel like IS/b diffuses faster than IS/a, which is not a bad thing and it also didn’t give me headaches.
On the flip-side, neither one of the above gave me self effects or affect anyone around me…
I never use more than 3 sprays of pheromones and I find that I like it best when it’s applied to the back of my neck, my wrists and my hair. I wore IS/b in various social settings: restaurants, clubs, bars, work - but I get NO HITS and see no difference at all. I’m considering IS/b in grapefruit scent and if that doesn’t produce any results, I may give up on pheromones altogether.
P.S. I also tried Instant Shine (Neroli scent) several times and I find that it smells very musky, even when you first apply it, the musk overpowers the perfume scent (unlike IS/a or IS/b)… I kept smelling it after only doing 1 spray and I know I will definitely not use it again.
It seems you and I are on the same road Mia. I’ve also just tried B after trying A but I got different results (as you already know from my ISa post.) I’ll be posting a report on ISb… probably in a few minutes heheh…
As for Shine, have you tried layering anything with it yet? I find the effects on me personally are amplified especially with Shine and ISa, but I guess that’s all on body chemistry. I agree with you on the scent issue. I’m not a big fan of Neroli but I have a Jasmine/Cherry Blossom body spray that kicks it down a few pegs and blends well.
Anyway, like P51 mentioned, I’m sure it will be a little while before the fine tuning comes about. I’ve started noticing very subtle differences around me… of course, I’m a detail freak lol
Hey Mustang, when I say hits… I mean at the least some noticeable mood/behavior changes of those around me, who are allegedly able to sense the pheromones I’m wearing…
As we’ve already discussed before, I’m not going to consider a hit just because a man comes up to talk to me or smiles… it happens to me all the time and what I’m looking for is to see a difference (i.e. either more of that happening or behavior in others that intensifies w/pheromones)…
I also don’t have ANY self effects… I’ve read people on the forum say that their whole life get brighter on Shine Really? To me it’s so musky, it makes me wanna jump in the shower and not walk the rainbow.
Zianaiz, I have been layering pheromones w/my own perfumes (very fresh, citrus scents - think Escada)… It went well w/IS(a) & IS(b) but Shine , I was turned off instantly… I was able to smell the musk in Shine through the Neroli scent of the pheromone and my own perfume that I topped it with. I wore it for a while and washed it off!
Thus far, I’m considering getting a full size of IS/b in grapefruit scent. Please let me know the differences you see between IS a & b, thanks!
What kind of behavior? Well, from what I read on the forum IS/a is very “Angelina Jolie” like, powerful, sexy confident and IS/b is like “Marilyn Monroe”, sexy, girlie, softer than IS/a. My own personality is a combination of both IS/a & b traits, so when others say things like: people were friendlier around me, or more chatty, guys smiled and lingered on to talk to me more than usual… I don’t get these responses. People around me ARE friendly ALL the time (most of the time) and guys smile and talk to me also… So, Mustang how can I tell???
Definitely no DIHL ! LOL
I don’t know, guys buy me drinks when I’m out w/my friends (w/out pheromones) and as for flirting lol it’s natural and happens all the time, so I wouldn’t say there is a sudden spike now that I’ve been wearing pheromones…
I was thinking that smelling like a guy may be part of the problem lol I’m convinced that NEROLI is a male scent, it smells fresh but strong like a guy just came out of the shower!
I like smelling like citrus fruit/tropical, maybe I should order TAA or IS/b in grapefruit…
I like your feedback…
I just don’t know why nothing I’ve tried worked for me thus far… I’m very skeptical by nature, but I want this to work and to be able to see the difference…
Based on the situations I’ve been in, they definitely have made things easier and ramped up attraction.
Plus, the more attractive you are, the harder it is for you to notice “hits” because its really going to take more time for you to notice any of the differences.
So, I went out to a bar/club last night, wearing IS/b, 4 sprays (back of neck, 2 sprays in my hair and wrists) applied 30 minutes before getting to the place… It was definitely a good night, lots of laughs, flirting and so on… BUT how can I tell whether wearing IS/b played any role in it?
I guess what I don’t understand is how do you guys differentiate
“hits” from reactions that people give you anyway (even w/out pheromones)… For example, if guys flirt w/me with & WITHOUT pheromones, then I cannot consider their flirting w/me (while I’m wearing pheromones) a hit, why… because it would have happened REGARDLESS!
Maybe I should try something that will cause the kind of reaction that will go beyond what is considered “normal”…
Sweet spot testing usually involves a day off from pheromones.
What I would do is if you’re going out, wear it one week on and one week off.
For us its easier to see hits because any deviation from baseline, girls looking at you more, IOI’s, and things like that.
One time, I was at a bar in the city, and I was waiting for a drink behind this girl. Now remember that there was no way she could have known I was there cause I was directly behind her. I get there, and like a minute or two later, she turns around looks at me, and smiles.
That’s essentially what a “hit” is, because normally I would have to make contact to get those types of reactions.
Another one is, shy girls who deviate from what they normally do, i.e. party wilder, random hookups when that’s not the norm, showing interest when there was none there prior.
Mustang, in the first instance how was that a hit? LOL
For example, I smile most of the time, it’s my personality, it doesn’t matter whether I interact w/males/females/kids…
So, let’s say I’m at a bar and what you’ve described happened - that’s totally natural in my opinion. I can sense that someone’s behind me, even if I can’t see them, I can also tell when I feel like someone is looking at me - even if I can’t see them… So, my natural instinct would be to turn around… and let’s say you’re there, I’d look at you and smile, what’s wrong me that? Maybe the girl just found you attractive (YOU - not the pheromones) no?
Mia, you should probably try it out on someone you know pretty well. This may help in noticing the hits. For example, I see 3 different medical specialist per week (long story!) and my primary doctor every 2 weeks. I have been seeing the same ones for the past 5 months so I know them pretty well considering the nature of the relationships… Professional but in an up-close and personal kinda way. There’s one that I know I won’t get hits from because she’s very open, honest and social… I don’t feel like I need an edge on her. The chiropractor, he’s another story. I’ve gotten hits from him and the other one I’m still working on. I’ve gotten hits from my primary too. (I’m also always in very close proximity to these people because they actually handle me physically.) These are people I see on a regular basis so it’s easier for me to see slight changes with them rather than wingin it with people I don’t know at all.
I wrote up a really long report the other day and it’s still not posted for some reason… hmmm…
Anyway… you may also want to try spending some quiet time alone and seeing what the effects are on you with different doses. That way you can look for what may change in other people in relation to you.
, I was turned off instantly… I was able to smell the musk in Shine through the Neroli scent of the pheromone and my own perfume that I topped it with. I wore it for a while and washed it off!
Interesting…
