Hi everyone, Spinach here! šŸ™‚ I first found out about [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) at the start of 2011, and although it was exciting, I didnā€™t have the best grounds for testing (as well as trouble with the Neroli scent) and forgot about it for a whileā€¦ BUT, Iā€™m going to university next year, so it ocurred to me that it would be nice to get back into pheros - properly this time! Now that Iā€™m a little bit older, and the teensiest bit wiser, I thought it would be a good idea to take down my old journal and open up a fresh new one. So here we are! Iā€™ve done a fair bit of reading on the forums, but I tend to get carried away just thinking about things šŸ™„, so now I really need to ground myself and actually identify phero-results in my own life as I use them. If you have any comments or suggestion to share, they would be very much appreciated! šŸ˜› _About me_ Iā€™m eighteen, outgoing and generally pretty upbeat, albeit a bit silly! Iā€™m a ā€˜fun-sizedā€™ (šŸ˜ƒ) Asian living in the southern hemisphere. What I would like from pheromones, ideally, is to even the playing field a little - objectively speaking, Iā€™m much less attractive than my friends and most girls my age. Acceptable enough to be friends, but Iā€™ve never had equal standing with the girls, nor anything further in a relationship with a guy. So although I donā€™t have a specific Target Guy at the moment, it would be nice to have my overall perceived attractiveness go up, and enhance my natural personality. šŸ™‚ **- Journal Shortcuts -** [My Mones](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/lets-take-a-scentimental-journey/56798/2) (as of 09/10/2012) [First thoughts on lotion spiked with EoW!](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/lets-take-a-scentimental-journey/56798/3) [Instant Shine self effects & Instant Honesty fail](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/lets-take-a-scentimental-journey/56798/4) [Good times with Instant Shine + self-effects!](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/lets-take-a-scentimental-journey/56798/5) [Bonding feeling with Shine + banter from cops](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/lets-take-a-scentimental-journey/56798/6) šŸ˜ƒ [No Instant Honesty results?](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/lets-take-a-scentimental-journey/56798/7) [TAF might turn me into Miss Productive!](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/lets-take-a-scentimental-journey/56798/10) [TAF at 12.5mcg, still loving it](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/lets-take-a-scentimental-journey/56798/11) [IO with a new tutee](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/lets-take-a-scentimental-journey/56798/12) [Pink Sugar arrives!](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/lets-take-a-scentimental-journey/56798/13) [Pretty good day with copulins + Pink Sugar](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/lets-take-a-scentimental-journey/56798/20) [IS/b + copulins](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/lets-take-a-scentimental-journey/56798/24) šŸ™‚ [Arrrgghh I spilled EoW!!](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/lets-take-a-scentimental-journey/56798/31) [Another normal, good day (Cops + IS/b + p83)](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/lets-take-a-scentimental-journey/56798/36) [Party that was good but not too crazy](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/lets-take-a-scentimental-journey/56798/41) ---

First thoughts on lotion spiked with Eow! _These are from my notes that I started to jot down about 10 days ago.._ **11/09/2012** I added 3 drops of Eow to a little sample pot of Bathed&Infused lotion before going to bed. According to the website, it contains 0.3~0.4oz lotion, in Hearts scent - which smells like fizzy sour candy! I added 3 more drops in the morning and wore some to school, dabbing behind each ear and trailing the rest along my jawline. Weā€™re in the last weeks of wearing winter uniform at the moment, which means that most application points are inaccessible! I couldnā€™t smell the copulins in the little plastic tub at all, but I definitely did when I first put it on. Throughout the day I got whiffs of both the fizzy candy scent and the unique pong (lol) of EoW under it. šŸ˜ƒ I wasnā€™t really expecting any hits, and I didnā€™t see any. It may be due to my self-consciousness but I was a lot more ā€˜hyperā€™ and chatty than I have been in a while. The closest thing I have to a Target Guy right now is a guy we shall call **B** , and I sat next to him during the half-hour long school assembly. In the hopes of him catching a whiff of the copulins I made sure to re-arrange my hair periodically, haha. XD Iā€™m not sure how that worked out but he does take deep breaths so hopefully, he got something. Hmmm, Iā€™m not actually sure how strong my applications are, because I havenā€™t work out the dosage. The only other thing I felt I should note, was that my best friend (letā€™s call her **J** ) sniffed my shoulder area briefly during class this morning. Not sure if this was because she smelled something on me, because she does that sometimes anyway, we are pretty close (and goofy šŸ˜›). I added 6 more drops that night before bed. _In hindsight I think this was too much, the optimum is probably around 8~10 drops per little sample pot!_ **12/09/2012** I wore some again to school. Again, I was quite chatty and upbeat compared to how tired I was waking up this morning. BUT I was super tired and irritable when I came home, especially towards my brother. A ā€˜crashā€™ of sorts?? **13/09/2012** I considered taking a break today, but put on a little less instead, halfway through the day. I had a freak-out moment shortly afterwards though! I was standing with a group of friends in the seniorsā€™ common room, a bunch of guys and a girl. Another girl arrives and mentions a ā€˜weird smellā€™ soon after, but says she canā€™t quite place her finger on it. šŸ˜® She said it was like wet hay, or something between wet grass and silage. The girl to my right said she could smell it too, and at this point I kind of froze up and tried to stand still, and act innocent. The guys said they couldnā€™t smell anything, but suggested maybe it was the lawnmowing outside. The girl then said that she couldnā€™t believe they couldnā€™t notice it! One guy opposite me in the circle said, ā€˜Oh I can smell it now,ā€™ and then said he could smell room freshener. Whoops, I think that might have been the Hearts scent? ā˜¹ But either they genuinely couldnā€™t pinpoint the source of the smell, or they were too polite to acknowledge it was me. It made me nervous anyway, so I went to the bathroom and rubbed my application points with a paper towel. Afterwards I could still smell it, but more of the Hearts and less EoW, although it was still there. We had a school event, which meant sitting on the floor of the school gym. I was talking to the guys around me, and I donā€™t know, I felt like there were more eyes on me than usual. A kid two rows in front of me kept talking in my direction, but I wasnā€™t sure if it was directed at me or someone behind me. Towards the end I realised that he _was_ looking at me, and kind of trying to see my reaction. Not sure if this is a hit, because he is a friendly and super popular kid, despite being in the lowest year, but I felt like he was watching my reaction to the conversation and trying to ā€˜engageā€™ me. Itā€™s hard to say for sure because there was nothing blatant. But I also thought that my male friend to my right was making more eye contact than usual.. Looking over the past few days, I think the guys that I have talked to have been more responsive than usual - more animated and engaging, but this may be because I have been hyper and talkative myself. Apart from the silage comment, I havenā€™t had anyone screw up their nose or obviously acknowledge a bad smell coming from me, but I still feel aware/more self-conscious wearing EoW. It would be so embarrassing if they really knew it was me all along but werenā€™t saying anything!! I hope not! šŸ˜® ---

Instant Shine self-effects & [Instant Honesty](https://a314.com/product/instant-honesty/) fail _From previous notes.._ **15/09/2012** So I decided to spray on some Instant Shine, because I havenā€™t put on pheros in a very long time, and wanted to test for self effects. At 2PM I spritzed two times onto each wrist. Still has that too-masculine smell, but weirdly, the scent is MUCH lighter than I remember it being two years ago! I have to put my nose right up to my wrist to really get the Neroli. For reporting purposes, I should note that I sprayed without shaking the bottle, and I applied it in the corridor, while wearing a t-shirt (bare arms). I can smell it while Iā€™m typing though. Iā€™m feeling a bit lightheaded, ten minutes into application. I just sprayed Acqua di Gioia on my left wrist. Weirdly enough I canā€™t smell my perfume nearly as well as I usually can.. Hmmm. Has the IS application point ā€˜eaten upā€™ my perfume? šŸ˜® I feel more awake. The scent is still a little on the masculine side, but itā€™s much lighter than I remember, so thatā€™s a good thing! Yay! I just watched TV, no mood changes to note. **16/09/2012** I sprayed once to each of my wrists, and then with Acqua di Gioia a few minutes before going out to dinner with two of my closest friends, **A** and aforementioned **J**. Iā€™m wearing a cardigan but I pushed up the sleeves enough to expose application points. Soooo scared that this is going to affect me! Hahaha. Feeling slightly dazed again, but at least the mones havenā€™t ā€˜eaten upā€™ my perfume this time! I think, at least.. Back, but I didnā€™t notice anything out of the ordinary. I thought I noticed the gap between me thinking something and then saying it decrease, but Iā€™m not really that sure. Oh well. At the very least, Iā€™m not nearly as afraid of wearing the Neroli any more! Itā€™s not ideal, but with Acqua di Gioia on top, I think I can handle it. This may change when I up dosages or spray it on/near clothes and hair, but for now Iā€™m excited to test some mones! ---

Good times with [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) & self effects. šŸ™‚ _From previous notesā€¦_\*\* 18/09/2012\*\* This morning I decided to try out some Instant Shine. I did two sprays to each wrist, covered with Acqua di Gioia shortly afterward. Iā€™m usually in a good mood and often have a smile on my face, but I felt like it came a little more naturally this morning. It was pretty subtle; I donā€™t think I wouldā€™ve realised this if Iā€™d been blind-testing. I had History first, and although the class atmosphere is usually quite good, I felt like the general mood was very light and easy-going, especially noticeable about 20 minutes into the lesson. I have a suspicion that even the teacher and the rows on his side (I sit on the left, he sits on the right) were affected! My friends sitting on the opposite side leaned over to look at me while laughing about something, which usually doesnā€™t happen. We are already a very jokey class, but there were two moments in-between jokes today that might usually have just been quiet or, but instead of trailing off laughter, they were filled with another bout of chuckles and giggles. I felt more giggly myself, even though I was just as tired as when I woke up. I didnā€™t notice any extra ā€˜alertnessā€™ as I did when I tried to test for self-effects. I need to test Shine more consistently to make sure, but I felt like one of my guy friends was responding particularly well to me - he was sitting to my left, facing me (our desks are placed like this:ā”¢). Iā€™d like to test this one out more, to see if it gives consistent results, and make sure Iā€™m not just making something out of nothing. I didnā€™t notice anything out of the ordinary for classes after that first one, but then again I wasnā€™t looking as closely, either, I suppose, because I assumed that Instant Shine wouldnā€™t last that long. **19/09/2012** One spray to each wrist today, with Acqua di Gioia as usual. In the car on the way to school, Dad seemed to be in a better mood after a few minutes - or at least, he poked my arm and start talking about things; usually the car ride is relatively quiet. I didnā€™t really notice anything in first period, because I was sitting off to myself by the windows, and we were working independently on laptops. History was fun again, but it usually is - we had another ā€˜giggle-fillerā€™ moment but there were more notes to copy down today so not as jokey. Once again, I felt myself smiling more quickly and easily - as if my face muscles were relaxed, more ā€˜readyā€™ to smile. Iā€™ve read IS/b being compared to ā€˜slipping into warm waterā€™ and thatā€™s kind of what I felt like while I was sitting in assembly. A calm, quiet, rather _peaceful_ state of mind, like sitting in warm water. Subtle, not sparkly shiny excitement, like Iā€™d imagined Shine to be! But itā€™s nice, and Iā€™m happy that I seem to be getting self-effects at all. šŸ™‚ ---

Bonding feeling with Shine & banter with cops _Okay, last post for catching up, I promise! šŸ˜ƒ_ **20/09/2012** Wore three sprays of [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) to each wrist, covered with Acqua di Gioia. I think I need to make sure Iā€™ve got the right conditions to test this one, like the History classroom on Tuesday. We had a walkthrough/tutorial of sorts in a computer lab this morning. **A** was sitting to my left and itā€™s weird to say this but I felt like our bond was stronger - we were on the same wavelength, laughing and having a good time. We say the same thing at the same time often, but it happened more frequently than usual this morning. Nothing in particular in History today to note; I had it third. Although something did occur to me.. When I was copying down notes on Tuesday and Wednesday, I kept missing words and not paying very much attention to my writing at all while copying down notes. This may not seem like much but usually my writing is pretty accurate and I automatically shorten things as I go, instead of copying word-for-word. And my writing was back to normal today. So was it an indirect side effect from wearing IS, because I was distracted? P.S. I donā€™t notice any dizziness or light-headedness any more. I spray in another room while holding my breath, sort of wave my arms around a bit, walk around the house to get the smell off me while I continue rushing around to get ready(a few minutes), and then cover in my bedroom with Acqua di Gioia. **Later that dayā€¦** I was debating whether or not to put on cops for study period today, but I went to the bathroom and put on a smidgeon of my EoW-spiked Hearts lotion behind each ear. Once I got to the common room I almost considered taking it off, but Iā€™m kinda glad I didnā€™t. I wedged myself in between a friend of mine and **B** , with **B** to my right, and he was actually being a little flirty/playful! Usually we just talk about future plans, or start discussing science or schoolwork, but today he wrote my name on the desk in front of him with my dry-erase marker, which seemed uncharacteristic to me. At one point he was standing behind my chair and I could feel something hovering on top of my head. When I asked him what he was doing, he said he was ā€œcolouring inā€ my hair. šŸ™„ This was the most unusual behaviour he displayed, in my opinion. **B** is usually more serious, frank, and unenthusiastic/unexpressive in a ā€˜machoā€™ way - we make fun of him for that. šŸ˜ƒ I tried to be sneaky and draw a smiley face on **B** ā€™s arm but only managed to do the eyes, but he let me finish it and suggested I make it nice and add different colours, etc. Later he held up the marker near my cheek and called my name, to try and make a mark, but of course I knew better than to fall for this age-old trick. šŸ†’ He also made a remark that sounded like something he would say while high. He basically said it would be the awesomest thing in the world to have cookies coloured with food colouring. Eh?? šŸ˜® Two of our best friends are near-professional cake decorators so I was speechless that he would find such a simple thing so ~amazing~. Today was fun though, I liked him being more playful and cute. Iā€™m not really sure how much EoW Iā€™m putting on, and didnā€™t think I was wearing much - could it be that he was reacting more sensitively because Iā€™ve previously exposed him to the stuff? I get more eye contact and the guys around me seem more interested in my reaction to things. I think it could be nerves, from being self-conscious, but I definitely am chattier and gigglier when I wear my Hearts/Cops lotion. I also tend to walk more boldly/briskly, although I half do it on purpose. Downsides - I feel gross, and Iā€™m super tired. I crashed on my bed for a few hours as soon as I got home today, totally unplanned. Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s from spending energy on being self-conscious, or an olfactory overload or something like that, but I feel groggy and tired, and smelling the EoW stink of my skin after waking up isnā€™t so pleasant either. Oh my, my EoW reports must be very boring to read, sorry everyone. šŸ˜› But Iā€™m still a little incredulous that they might have an effect for me, I guess! Iā€™ve believed in the legitimacy of pheromones from the get-go but itā€™s taking longer for me to really believe it in my own life. :o **23/09/2012** Just a few quick things I wanted to note from todayā€™s phero usage. I did three sprays of Instant Shine to each wrist before covering as usual, as I was running out the door - I was volunteering for a charity fundraiser with some friends this afternoon. My friend was super hyper and happy and silly today - she was in a good mood even before I arrived and is usually known as the silly one, but yes, I felt more ā€˜in tuneā€™ with her, as I had felt with **A** in the entry above. I got lots of hugs from her, even though I canā€™t pinpoint this on the Shine for sure. This was from the first 20 minutes or so after I arrived to meet up with everyone. No specific hits to mention for the fundraiser part - what I _can_ say is that IS definitely ā€˜warmsā€™ me up for social settings! My smiles come **so** much more naturally with Shine, and theyā€™re bigger, too! This will definitely come in useful when I need to introduce myself to important guests and come across as kind and genuine (I already think I am a friendly warm person but sometimes I worry it doesnā€™t come off as truly genuine as I feel). Also I think Shine would be great for people who get told their default expression is sullen, too serious, or a downright ā€˜death glare.ā€™ šŸ˜ƒ It should soften their facial muscles right up! šŸ™‚ ---

No [Instant Honesty](https://a314.com/product/instant-honesty/) results? **24/09/2012** Attempted 2 sprays of Instant Shine + 1 spray of Instant Honesty (x2 strength) to each wrist today, but I didnā€™t see any hits or differences that could be attributed to IH. In fact, it seemed like I wasnā€™t getting the effects of Shine either. Will keep testing though, maybe Iā€™ll realise things in hindsight. šŸ™‚ ---

**Update** Ordered a few things from AD today! And my first Pink Sugar!! Alcohol dupe & matching lotion, how exciting - I guess weā€™ll see in a couple weeks how I like it. Eeep! As for reports.. I did spray some IS/a on myself last thursday, but I was working behind the scenes at a big event so I was far too busy running around to actually use the day to test pheros. Which is a shame, but Iā€™m on break now and hopefully my new stuff will arrive just in time for the new school term. šŸ˜‰ ---

TAF might turn me into Miss Productive! > [@Steve](#): > > I really love what you have to say so Iā€™d wish youā€™d say more of it šŸ˜‰ Thanks Steve, and hint taken! šŸ˜› **09/10/2012** I am pretty much just holed up at home on break, so things are slow at the moment. Itā€™s been a _really_ long time since any of my friends had a decent party, but all of a sudden Iā€™ve got things lined up three weekends in a row, so itā€™s time to bring out some long-awaited phero-bombs, mwa ha ha.. šŸ†’ Now Iā€™m just waiting on the Pink Sugar! šŸ™„ Anyways, I tried Molecule F (aka TAF) for the first time today, and I am **loving** it! Iā€™m a chronic procrastinator and after an entire week of lounging around, itā€™s time to start turning my attention to the workload waiting patiently (or persistently, should I say; they donā€™t seem to go away šŸ˜ƒ) for me. At around midday I put on 2 sprays of TAF (To Go size at 12.5mcg) - one to each crook of the elbow, and it seemed to kick in after about 15 minutes. I decided to tackle vocabulary learning for the foreign language I take at school, and surprised myself by remembering them so much more easily and quickly than Iā€™d expected - itā€™s been a week since I last reviewed them. But nope, the words I needed were coming to me very straightforwardly and I didnā€™t get distracted when my mum started playing music next and talking next to me. Then I had lunch, where I didnā€™t notice anything out of the ordinary, and went on to compiling my class notes and finding folders to put them into after that. Usually, I am very easily distracted in my bedroom, because it is messy and I have a lot of interesting things in there to re-discover šŸ˜ƒ but I kept on task pretty well, I thought. At this point I was thinking, ā€˜I donā€™t really care if this is placebo, I may have to start wearing it every day!ā€™ A few hours after that I had tutoring and by the time I got home Iā€™m pretty sure the pheros had worn off - it had been at least 7 hours after application. So my guess is that they lasted around 4 hours. TAF gave me a ā€˜gung hoā€™ feeling; a ā€˜letā€™s get this doneā€™ kind of attitude, which I normally lack. :o I didnā€™t waver from the task; it was clear and direct, but not rigid or obsessive. Iā€™m pretty tired and lazy again now, but itā€™s probably because I went to bed past 5am last night (šŸ˜®) and not from the TAF. Iā€™m excited to keep testing this! I know it was only a short trial today but I already like it better than Instant Shine. Others I hope to test when school starts again is IO and P83. I would try [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) at home, but my brother never stops talking, even when I outright ignore him. One of the first times I wore IH, it made him worse, so Iā€™m not taking my chances this time; I still have half a week left stuck with him at home! šŸ˜› **Fun Fact:** Pheromones sprayed from To Go bottles smell much nicer, and also less masculine to me than pheros sprayed from the 30ml full size bottles! At first I thought it was just IS/A smelling better but Iā€™ve noticed it with other products too. I donā€™t know why this is - but the To Go Neroli smells sweeter and more pleasant to my nose, somehow. šŸ˜• ---

Just went and posted a guide for making an index of report shortcuts in journals, over in the menā€™s forum: [How to put shortcuts for reports on your journal!](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/how-to-put-shortcuts-for-reports-on-your-journal/56980) Applicable to females too, of course, please check it out if youā€™re interested! šŸ™‚ **10/10/2012** Sprayed 1 shot of TAF (so just 12.5mcg) to my chest today. It didnā€™t stop me from putting work off for 2 hours, but once I did get down to it, I could feel the effects. I didnā€™t overthink anything, I just did what I was doing precisely and efficiently; very straightforward. I made sure not to inhale the wet pheros when I put them on, so I didnā€™t get a headache or a rush, and got no tiredness from it either. Excellent stuff, Iā€™m really looking forward to using it for exam revision! Too bad there are no 30ml bottles of it; I might have to buy the 25mcg and dilute it sometime. Iā€™m curious about getting the early P100s now! šŸ˜ƒ ---

**11/10/2012** I started tutoring a new student today, so I decided to put on 2 sprays of [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/)ā€¦ except that it ended up being 2.5 sprays, because I missed the spot I was aiming at. šŸ˜ƒ So one each to crooks of the elbow, and 1 spray of perfume on the left side, pressing the application points together lightly afterward. I was slightly nervous, and I canā€™t say whether IO amplified it, but it certainly didnā€™t _reduce_ my jitters! My student was exposed for 1.5 hours, starting at about 20 minutes after application. I didnā€™t notice anything out of the ordinary, but hopefully he got the friendly/open vibe anyways. I think I might test IO around one of my other students, as he is very very quiet and unresponsive with me, which throws me off sometimes. I havenā€™t noticed anything unusual from my family, either, although when I was saying grace for dinner (4 hours after application), I thought of more things to say than usual. I also got news today that my Pink Sugar package is going to be delayed further. ā˜¹ Iā€™m impatient, but thereā€™s nothing I can do about it! ---

MY **PINK SUGAR** ARRIVED!! I expected it to take much longer to get here, but nope! Here it is! On first spray to my wristā€¦ it was NOT what I was expecting. I thought it would be a very strong, super sugary pink scent, but what I had was only vaguely perfumey and close to skin - even _Neroli_ is stronger than this! The only discernable note was the liquorice, which was the one of the notes I was least sure about, because I donā€™t like liquorice. šŸ˜ƒ Not unpleasant, but not what I had in mind, either.. I washed it off with soap and water, even though a tiny bit of the liquorice still remained after that. My guess is that my EDP needs to cure, but I wanted to get to work straight away, so I went ahead and put 1 dropper full of EoW in a To Go bottle, and 3ml of my Pink Sugar dupe. Then I shook it and left it in a drawer to do its thingā€¦ This is so exciting! šŸ˜ƒ Anyways, when I had the atomiser bit unscrewed on my Pink Sugar, I could start smelling something more than liquorice. I rubbed the pipette on my wrist, and itā€™s still very light, but I think the sweetness is beginning to tiptoe through, which is rather pleasant. Ooh I just got a whiff of vanilla, yum. Hopefully it dries down nicely and gets stronger and sweeter, like everyone says PS is! Before I put the To Go bottle away I took a sniff, and I know Iā€™ve only just put the two together, but I think I can see why Pink Sugar would be able to cover the copulins.. I plan to shake the bottle once a day and see how it develops over the next week or so.. although I will probably get impatient and try to test it out šŸ˜ƒ **EDIT:** I have also tranferred some of my Pink Sugar body lotion (extra scented by request) into a little sample tub. So _roughly_ .4oz of lotion, plus 8ish drops of EoW. 8ish, because there was some air/bubbles inside the dropper so it might actually be a teeny bit less. **2nd EDIT:** After thinking that my current concoction might be too strong, I went and added another 1ml of Pink Sugar to the To Go bottle.. If my calculations are correct, I should be getting roughly 1/2 a drop of EoW per spray now. šŸ™‚ Pink Sugar + baby powder smells really nice! The PS is definitely getting stronger and sweeter.. Iā€™d love to find a way to get rid of the liquorice note but I guess I can live with it. ---

Wow! TAF sounds really interesting! I might have to try some and see what it does for my knitting! šŸ™‚ P.S your brother ordeal is amusing. I know a guy like that at work to, but he tends to talk AT people. ---

Sadly, no reports for today. I was excited to try out something, because I was planning on going to an outdoor ice-skating rink with a friend, but the weather was TERRIBLE (heavy wind and rain, a total contrast to yesterdayā€™s bright sunny sky!) so I ditched the mones and we stayed in with a movie instead. However, school starts again in just 2 days! Havenā€™t made my mind up on what to ā€˜wearā€™ haha šŸ˜ƒ ---

**Warning:** I ramble onā€¦ a LOT. :o Feel free to skip entirely if youā€™re not into hearing the gushing on a non-interesting teenager! You _have_ been warnedā€¦ **15/10/2012** Took my Pink Sugar cops for a spin today! Applied a tiny dab of PS lotion behind each knee, and did a spray each of my To Go cops mix. I wasnā€™t so great at aiming, however, so Iā€™m not certain that I got the full extent of the sprays.. Oh well. I didnā€™t want to accidentally over-do it, so I left it at that. Because the little sample pot of PS body lotion + eow didnā€™t smell good even on cold sniff, I skipped it and decided to mix 1 drop of Eow right into some lotion before applying it to the back of my ears/jawline, and remainder on my throat - my ā€˜adamā€™s apple,ā€™ if I were a guy. I covered with three spritzes of Pink Sugar to my neck area, but I think my dupe isnā€™t as strong as PS is for many peopleā€¦ or at least, not yet. The scent is not 100% _me_, but I donā€™t dislike it. I was worried that the cops mix would stink up my room, but itā€™s not so bad, you canā€™t detect the EoW. And I was worried about the little bathroom as well, because I was waiting for the lotion to dry before I put on my clothes. But I left the fan on while I did my makeup and when I came back a short while later, I couldnā€™t smell anything. Okay, observations, here we go: - Self-effects: Not as paranoid about stinking as before! Pink Sugar DOES cover the stink well, and mixing the EoW right into the lotion was way more effective than I thought. I couldnā€™t get the stink off my fingers, though, even though I washed them carefully several times. I saw a great suggestion on the forum put a piece of dryer sheet over the dropper lid before opening the bottle, but since I donā€™t have those I will use cotton pads or at the very least a tissue next time! Iā€™m always bubbly and happy to be back seeing my friends after a school break, but I do think the copulins make me chattier, more _me_. I wasnā€™t expecting it, but I really like this self-effect - Iā€™ve been much less outgoing for the last few years, and I feel like Iā€™m finally getting back my hyper personality. No ā€˜crashā€™ this time. šŸ™‚ - For first period I sat next to a guy friend. Although we are in the same class we usually sit on opposite sides, so I canā€™t tell whether he was acting any differently or not. Friendly and normal. - **J** sat next to me and noticed my perfume. She got her nose right up to my neck and sniffed me three times, and said it wasnā€™t a very ā€˜meā€™ smell, which I agreed to. Before I would have been scared stiff about her smelling me, Iā€™m not as paranoid with Pink Sugar, which is really nice. She didnā€™t give any signs of acknowledging the copulins smell, phew. She was saying it was very sweet and a good guy friend of mine, sitting to the left of **J** , chimed in and said it was ā€˜really vanilla-ry.ā€™ That surprised me; I thought he was sitting too far away to smell it! šŸ˜® But he said he noticed it as he walked into the classroom! šŸ˜®šŸ˜® So maybe it has that ā€˜throwā€™ after all, hmmā€¦ - I _finally_ got the ā€˜cotton candyā€™ note in the Pink Sugar as it dried down. Pink, vanillary, and very very sweet. The weather was cold and a little windy today, a little sun but no rain, so it wasnā€™t cloying but I would hesitate about putting it on during the summer. And as the day went on I couldnā€™t smell the cops at all anymore, a huge plus. I **love** layering Pink Sugar with my baby powder-scented body spray, and I think this would be safe for my knees when it gets hotter. Not sure how theseā€™ll go down with [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/), though! - At lunch break, I was standing in my circle of friends when **B** came up behind me and rested his chin on top of my head for a moment, and then commented that I was a whole head shorter than him (No sh!t Sherlock šŸ™„:D). Not a wild hit, but mildly unusual behaviour, and very welcome at that, hahaha! At one point, **J** and **A** left for the bathroom so I was left standing with the guys. Almost immediately one started bombarding me with questions about how my holidays had been in a mock-aggressive manner, and the others quickly caught on so I was caught in a faux-interrogation for a few minutes šŸ˜ƒ and ended when I noticed and started laughing as one of them asked me a super-creepy Q. Again, pretty normal type of banter for us, but I count it as half a hit because it was still attention out of nowhere and the guys caught on so quickly to drilling me, it almost seemed planned. - I found out today that **B** walks a little way in the same direction as me after school, since heā€™s moved houses! I get picked up down the road so it was only a few minutes but hey, thatā€™s a few extra minutesā€™ exposure to my copulins, right? šŸ˜‰ It was a nice surprise and in the future I may take to re-applying pheros before I see himā€¦ šŸ˜› - I had my usual tutoring session after school (8h after application) and my tutee was a lot more responsive today! He asked more questions than usual and even smiled two times. This confirms my observation that guys are more responsive to me when I wear cops; I havenā€™t had any blatant hits but I _do_ get more eyes and attention on me than normal, which is fine by me. I really want to see how IO and P83 affects **B** but school is really not the best place for testing pheros šŸ˜ .. If the weather is cold again tomorrow, I think I will keep my mix to 2 sprays behind each knee, but increase to 2 drops of EoW around my neck. If the weather is too hot I may ditch the cop drops and try out a few sprays of IO instead. I am _dying_ to order Tease, but I really canā€™t afford it right now. As soon as a little money comes my way that baby is mine! šŸ˜ƒ ---

Cool subbed. I heard copulins smell really bad unless you cover it with a perfume/cologne [Next page](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/lets-take-a-scentimental-journey/56798.md?page=2)
