**Test 21** : TAC self test I tried to minimize what I have read on this pheromone to keep others feedback out of this. I’m not sure what TAC does other then its good to use with none sometimes and supposedly not good with TAA but then fixed with P75. In what way I don’t know. Here are my notes Applied at 12:15pm 1 spray of 10mcg to front of neck 30min - no noticeable reaction 45min - Applied 2nd spray of 10mcg to front of neck 50min - lost a bit of focus while looking at the computer screen, hard to concentrate on getting work done. 60min - I’m feeling in and out of focus, decided to take a 30min nap 120min - I’m out of my bed again, sleep was very jumpy. I was very unsettled 130min - Most of the effects seem to have worn off \*\*New test, at this point I put one spray on of TAC and one spray of Instant shine (TAA) 5min - I have a small lack of focus 10min - add 1 spray of instant shine 20min - I’m feeling more focused but slightly unsure of my self, definitely a better feeling then just having TAC 30min - Went to go get some P75 and as I’m doing this my body is trembling a little bit. My mind is still focused. 35min - 1 spray of P75 2.5mcg added 40min - Feeling like my normal self… **Comments** I’m thinking TAC is best used in a mix most likely, maybe my body already puts out a lot of TAA as I’m pretty happy all the time and instant shine has never really added to that. But then when I added Instant shine maybe the other pheromones in it helped a little. I’m curious to add TAC to P95 now to see if I have a smiler reaction as to adding TAA since I get this vibe from P95 that its a more intense version of TAA. ---

**Test 22** : First date I went out on a date with someone somewhat older then me. I want to keep the report brief to respect that she could someday read this 🙂 But at the same time convey that the mix did well. It was my first time trying out MX330, and I wanted to enhance it a little. Application- 6:30pm A341 2x MX330 2x MEO 4x @25mcg [P75](https://pheromonelabs.com/product/p75/) 1x @2.5mcg P79 1x @10mcg P81 1x @10mcg Situation Went to an upscale restaurant Result The date went very well, a number of instances where there was touching. She commented that she thought I was cute and later that I was like a vampire which she likes. I was nothing but smiles all night so maybe this was the A341. At one point I was invited to come over to her side of the table to feel her hair at which point I asked how I smelled (since I can’t) she said something really good, don’t remember the exact words. I had virtually no cover cologne. She had that wow look in her eyes 🙂 We went to see a movie after which was unplanned and almost a second movie. Going on a second date tonight 🙂 I may want to add some P83 ---

**Test 23** : Second Date Application- 6:00pm A341 2x MX330 2x MEO 4x @25mcg P83 3x @10mcg [P75](https://pheromonelabs.com/product/p75/) 1x @2.5mcg P79 1x @10mcg [P81](https://pheromonelabs.com/) 1x @10mcg IH 2x 1 spray Situation Went to a cook your own meal restaurant Result The date went just as well as the last, but with more touching. Things like holding my arm and playing with the back of my neck, which I liked 🙂 Nice subttle kiss at the end of the night. Hard to say if adding P83 contributed to this as things were most likely heading in that direction. ---

**Test 24** : Third Date Application- 6:00pm A341 2x MX353 2x - third applied at 11pm- changed to this from last time MEO 4x @25mcg Tac 2x @10mcg -added since last time [P83](https://a314.com/product/p83/) 3x @10mcg P75 2x @2.5mcg P79 1x @10mcg [P81](https://pheromonelabs.com/) 1x @10mcg Situation Whole bunch of indoor places, finishing off at a cozy lounge. Result She liked how I smelt even more this time, said I smelled delicious. Also asked if I was wearing something different, so the slight change is noticeable. This time being together was much closer, lots of touching and kissing. Multiple times she wanted to smell me, as if in disbelief or just loving it. MX330 was good and social, but MX353 must be on another level for her and more intimate. TAC may have buffered the none better too. ---

**Test 25** : 5th Date Application- 6:00pm A341 2x MX316 2x - third applied at 12pm- changed to this from last time MEO 4x @25mcg Tac 2x @10mcg P83 3x @10mcg [P75](https://a314.com/product/p75/) 2x @2.5mcg P79 1x @10mcg [P81](https://pheromonelabs.com/) 1x @10mcg Situation Went to a bunch of places, then back to her place Result The fourch date went very well with a simmiler mix to the third, very physical. But only to mention, that was two nights out with Mx353. Comments such as “you smell they way a man is suposed to smell” and lots of snuggling. I had a big curiosity as to what she likes the most so this time out I swtiched the MX353 with MX316 which I would presume has alot of none. She commented that night that I still smell the same and she cant get enough of it. Still very physical 🙂 Next time out I will be wearing more of a respect mix for a business meeting, I will see her after. I hope the change goes well… ---

I’m thinking for my next encounter I will take out the MEO and see if I still “smell the same” as previous times. I’m thinking the comment either came as a masculine vibe from [P75](https://a314.com/product/p75/)/P81/None or its coming as a comfort sort of vibe from the MEO. Really curious to know… Also I may throw in some P119 in the evening with her, I have it in a to-go, and it really needs some following up on after the other happy groin post. I’ve tried a self test with it so far, made me abit cheerfull, still didn’t have a sense of smell (P119 reportedly intensifies smell, which was my primary interest in trying it since I was born with out it…) We’ll see how things go, she really wants me to be able to smell her perfume since mine is so awesome 🙂 Perfect test.. ---

**Test 26** : MX353 mix with MEO vs without MEO vs P119 Application- 6:00pm A341 2x MX353 3x Tac 3x @10mcg [P83](https://pheromonelabs.com/product/p83/) 4x @10mcg P75 2x @2.5mcg P79 1x @10mcg [P81](https://pheromonelabs.com/) 1x @10mcg Situation Went to a bunch of places, then back to her place, slept over, had a shower and tried P119 the next day. Result We talked about how I smell, and that I am having custom colognes made. She gave me feedback on how I was smelling after I said I’ve had subtle differences each time. She commented that… Last time, or normally I have smell thats almost powdery. She don’t know what it is but she likes it the most. She must be referring to the MEO. This time using typical mix with MX353 and no MEO she felt that I smelt more like Kelvin Kline CK1, and its delicious. Very good, but not the same as before… Then after my shower we compared it with 3 sprays of P119 @10mcg. She said it reminded her of Ocean spray. Said its also very good, but like MX353 more… Which is very interesting seeing that P119 could do well as a stand alone! as a side note she commented she was more orgasmic then usual, this was after the P119 Also when I was trying P119, she tried using her own perfumes. 2 of which had some reaction with my nose! I really don’t know what smells are so its hard for me to describe but it felt like something spreading through my sinuses. Very interesting!! On a side note, I may have reacted to this perfume before but this was more intense. I will have to try it again sometime, with and without P119. ---

**Test 27** : Movie Night Application- 6:00pm So I’ve been playing around with the mixes to see if reactions change, on this night I took out the A314 and introduced higher TAC, P79 and P119. There was also no none or [P83](https://pheromonelabs.com/product/p83/) in this mix! Meo 2x @25mcg Tac 2x @10mcg P119 3x @12.5mcg P79 3x @10mcg P75 1x @2.5mcg [P81](https://pheromonelabs.com/) 1x @10mcg Situation Stayed home to have a dinner and a movie Result We talked about how I smell, this time she said I was abit different. More like Irish tweed. Still really good. Had a hard time watching the movie 🙂 Still very physical regardless of not wearing none or p83, I hope to try this again sometime and have more comments on how this mix felt. ---

**Test 28** : Club with girl Application- 3:30pm I’ve found that she really like masculine smells and comforting smells. She can tell when mixes are different! Meo 4x @25mcg Tac 2x @10mcg P83 2x @10mcg P93 2x @10mcg [P75](https://a314.com/product/p75/) 2x @2.5mcg [P81](https://pheromonelabs.com/) 1x @10mcg Situation Left my house early to see my girl and then go party at her home base club. Result Evey thing went well at her place before going to the club. She commented that I smell delicious. By 11pm we made it to the club. She voiced her opinion that I smell good and different then the other times slightly. But this one could be kicked up a notch. This is probably because it was 8 hours later. But yet it still noticeable after all that time! I did end up having a shower with her the next day which then allowed me to try out mx350 which I brought. She liked this much more and said she couldn’t describe it as she smelled it for a good 15 seconds. ---

**Test 29** : Contract job interview Application- 12:00pm A314 2x P81 2x @10mcg [P75](https://pheromonelabs.com/product/p75/) 1x @2.5mcg IS double strength 2x to the hair Situation Was contacted for a job, when downtown to discuss. Result Arriving at 1pm I was greeted by their receptionist. Didn’t have any special treatment from her. Was welcomed by my contact who I talked to for a few min in there briefing room. I must comment though that he was really happy to see me and any questions regarding my past work was very light. As if it didn’t really matter what my experience was because they could trust me on it. He then invited in the head guy to meet me who also asked questions that were more my opinion and showing my character as opposed to questions about my skills. We all connected very well. I’ll have to wait and see what and if the next step happens. ---

**Test 30** : After the Contract job interview Application- 12:00pm A314 2x P81 2x @10mcg [P75](https://a314.com/product/p75/) 1x @2.5mcg IS double strength 2x to the hair Situation Went to go see my girl Result This mix is really bare compared to what I usually have with her and I didn’t have anything to put on for the next day. At first it was a test of this mixs respect vibe. I didn’t get any comments on my smell today but she did hold me in a higher respect. We had had some minor set backs from some health related problems but they seem to be in her distant past now. We went and took some very sexy pictures of each other and together. \*\*Second Test - Wearing nothing And now the next day with nothing on. She still treated me the same as usual but maybe not as aggressive. we cuddled alot. I believe that all of her intents with me have always been there and if anything the mixes that I wear amplify the intents she already has. ---

Also as I been typing these I just got a call back from the interview, I’m not invited for another this Friday. Def. going to amp up the respect mix for it 🙂 ---

I just stumbled on a post regarding P126 bringing out exhibitionist tendencies. When I tested it before it did seem abit dis-inhibiting. I think both me and my new girl already have some exhibitionist tendencies. I’ll try P126 in a mix and see if it comes out more… ---

Just some personal notes from testing different things with my girl P126 2x 10mcg on its own Really caught her attention as if good enough as a stand alone MX330 vs MX353 MX330 is good for catching attention and interest but once these things are established its less usefull. MX353 on the other hand seems to be always sexy, someone would put this on if they want to get it on. This has TUTH beat in so many ways. Masculine Base Mix P81 1x 10mcg [P75](https://a314.com/product/p75/) 2x 2.5mcg TAC 2x 10mcg P79 2x 10mcg She said this smelt good, sorta like the time she really really liked and talked about all the time. So she can identify with specific mixes and the components. But I had stripped away A314 and anything using none, I could tell she knew this was missing. She actully got upset a few times that night. I wont be doing this alone again, definitly an advantage to adding A314 or Meo. ---

So I have a job now that involves alot more contact with people in a position of authority. This will give me a chance to test more masculine/respect mixes 🙂 ---

Recently I’ve run into some problems with my car that have taken up alot of my time but it was a good chance to test out some of the instant line to help me in dealing with mechanics 🙂 I was wearing two sprays of 2x IS and 2 sprays of IG applied 30min before having the car towed to the shop in both instances. Last week the control arm on the drivers side snapped. It required my mechanic to weld it back on and put a new connecting grommet. When I got there the tow hour job was quoted to me to be done for $100 everything included. They even got me a coffee while I sat beside my car in the shop, not to mention letting me watch and inspect every part of my car! This week I used the same mix, this time my transmission blew the first gear requiring a full rebuild at a specialty shop. This time I was quoted $1,300 everything included and an added bonus, a shift kit at no extra charge. I’m pritty sure a rebuild would cost anywhere from $1,600-$2,300 for a smiler car to mine, while I cant really afford the expense right now I am quite happy with the savings 🙂 ---
