Jaymez’ Phero journey:
I was an open minded, optimistic skeptic or let’s say I just wanted to try them out and hope they worked. Now I am taking off the “skeptic” part and saying I want them to work more.
About me:
40 yrs old
White
5’10" 177 pounds
Workout regularly & currently training for my first 5k (so running as much as possible)
Blood type A+
Married (with kids)
Reasons for wearing pheros: Getting ahead at work (especially a new position that I have been trying for several years), spicing things up at home with the wife, just started a new business which involves a lot of selling and need it to help me succeed.
Pheromones I have now:
A314
Instant Shine, Instant Honesty, Turn Up The Heat, Ammunition (free with my order – Thanks April) (all To-Go bottles)
Day 1 – Received them at work
Applied
- 1 spray IS to back of hands
- 1 spray IH to chest & neck area
30 min later I was on my way out of the office, waiting for elevator & in elevator with a manager for another team. Started small talk & conversation, she was chatty as she normally is but on the way out I noticed she clammed up. Just stopped talking and wasn’t as friendly. I said good bye and thought it weird. Negative Hit? Maybe.
When I got home, I was sitting on my back porch talking to my wife. She went in and got a drink. When she came back, she asked why I was smiling? I told her that I didn’t know and left it at that. Self effect: yes, IS I believe helped my mood and kept me smiling for a lot of the night.
My 10 year old came out and the first thing he said to my wife was, why are you smiling? She was talking to me about a plumbing problem and the plumber digging up our back yard. Why would one smile while talking about that? Positive hit? Probably
Took my 10 yr old to a local pizza buffet joint. The 18 yr old at the counter who took our order and money pretty much gave a DIHL reaction for a second when asking for my drink order. When she gave me the cups, she said thank you and smiled real big. Then as we were about to go get our food (remember this is a buffet) she said “my name is… and let me know if there is anything I can get you”. I have been to this particular place many times, chatted up the managers before and only after conversations have they ever said, “let me know if there is anything I can get you”. I have never heard that from a counter worker before. Positive hit? Maybe.
whether it is true that the pheros have an effect on me or it is just the placebo effect and I played the part of what IS did, I feel that it worked.

Day 2 – 1st day at work*
Applied
- 1 drop A314 to both sides of my neck – pulse areas
- 1 spray of IS to my chest
- 1 spray of IS to my forearm & rubbed them together
Feeling good this morning. I like the way IS smells and makes me feel
Unfortunately, I was stuck on phone calls all day long and my cube mates were not in the office. I didn’t get to interact with anyone most of the day.
Worked out and sweated a lot so I reapplied 2 drops of A314. However, I did it right this time. I think the way I did it this morning was wrong and I probably got maybe 1 drop out at all.
On way home. One spray IS to the chest & 1 spray IH to the wrist
Stopped by store on way home – no noticeable hits
Nothing out of my wife except good conversation. First time in several weeks we spent the evening talking instead of having the TV on or watching a movie. Hits? Maybe, but it was due anyways so probably not. I look at it as gearing her up for the TUTH in a week 
Day 3
Applied:
- 3 drops A314 – 1 each side of the pulse area on neck, 1 to wrist & rubbed together
- 1.5 sprays of IS to chest/neck area
I love Instant Shine for the self effects. Man, very little sleep due to having to get up early in the morning to take my son to work (lost over an hour and a half sleep - when I only get about 6 hours usually) and could be grumpy. However, when my youngest was filling a water bottle and spilled it, I just chuckled and said clean it up. I did not get mean and yell or show disappointment or anything. Smiling a lot for no reason at all. Laughing/chuckling at the simplest things. Placebo effect or not, I love this stuff.
No noticeable hits during the day
Business meeting – 7:30 PM
- 2 drops A314 – 1 each side of the pulse area on neck
- 1 spray IS to neck/chest area
- 1 spray IH to the back of neck and head area
No noticeable hits
Day 4
Applied:
- 2 drops A314 – 1 each side of the pulse area on neck
- 1.5 sprays of IH to back of head and neck
SELF EFFECTS – Chatty today. Spoke to a manager that I have rarely spoken to. However, did what you are supposed to do which is to find an interest of theirs and let them talk. It started out as small talk about work and it graduated into personal stuff. She walked away with a smile like it was a good conversation.
Been in a good mood all day but that could be in conjunction with my excitement over my business meeting last night. So I don’t know how much to attribute it to any pheros.
No effect when I went home.
DAY 5 & 6 – Did not wear pheros (did not get the chance to take wife on date that was planned) The plans with the kids fell through.
Day 7
Applied:
- 3 drops A314 – back of wrist (rubbed together) and spread out the front of neck
- 3 sprays Instant Shine – 1 to each side of neck & one to back of head
My sunroof in my car broke this morning when I was going to work. Yes I was upset, however I didn’t get as upset as I usually would. Still can’t tell if this is the pheros talking or me actually changing my way of thinking back to my old self when I was a VERY positive person. Either way, it helps me to be more self conscious about my actions and word. So in that respect, it works.
No major hits at work. Tried to be more social, but it is hard since my job description ties me to the phone and we have been very busy. I have noticed one thing though, my pod mates haven’t made fun (all in jest) of me as much lately. I don’t know if I should attribute that to the A314 or not?
