So I couldn’t resist. I had to try one of the MXs. I picked 441.
so MX 441 - 2 sprays to the chest, one spray to other wrist
NICE smell , is that vanilla grapefruit? If that was an option for IS, IO and all of the other popular MXs I would buy it! I can’t stop smelling my wrist
Its mixed with the P74, which I kinda forgot about. I am not sure if that is good or bad.
Within five minutes of spraying I feel ‘smooth’ , very relaxed, not sleepy, just chillin’. So this has a calming, leveling property. I would have to go next to someone to see how it works on others, I have been at my desk pretty much all day.
How strong did you feel the effects? I would say the effects were medium-strength - meaning, I felt it, but I didn’t feel like I needed to lay down and wait for the initial feelings to pass.
On yourself? I felt an instant cool calm effect. What is weird is I felt it in the middle of my brain first and then it radiated throughout my body On others? Everyone is more cooperative with meat work, especially the boss, he is a man in his 60’s, a bit of a snob, and a sexist, yesterday and today he deferred to me on things he always fights.
Length of Effects - When did you notice the onset of effects? Almost immediately. When did you notice the outset? 10-15 minutesWhen did it peak? n/a - will have to try and see this tomorrow When did it wane? not sure if this happens with me, I seem to get hit a median point and stay there.
Tenacity - Tenacity refers to “staying power”, or the aggressiveness of the cologne. Does it seem to “attack” people around you, or is it more of a “slow burner”? on Me it is a slow burner, it seems to mix well with the other perfume I ma wearing. Does it seem like you can point your fume in one direction or another? Not sure about this, maybe if I am facing in a particular direction I can do this (?)
Effectiveness & Consistency - How effective is this mix on a scale of 1-10 (1 bad, 10 killer)? 6 Have its effects been consistent over time? I would say yes
Diffusion/Sillage - Sillage refers to your “vapor trail”. Think of it like the wake of a ship. How many feet/meters is your vapor trail? Maybe 2 to three feet. It is a bit chilly in the office, and of course no one can smell this outside because my jacket covers it. Do people seem to follow your silage? Not sure, will have to see tomorrow
I think I will have to use more sprays to test sillage.
Does a person’s racial background make a difference in how much mones they have to use? I am African American. I find that the more expensive perfumes have a staying power on my skin, whereas body sprays all but disappear after a couple of hours. I find that with the cops (EoW) I have to use very little or else I get attitude from women and ‘rape face’ from men.
