Hello EVerybody I am a week old with the much respected A314 and instant shine. Still in the trial phase, I use two drops of the oil behind the ears and two sprays on my hair. I am seeing a slight change in the behavior of people around me and not drastic ones as some of the users have mentioned. I wanted to know the longevity of these products…frankly because half an hour after I spray the Instant shine - its gone…without a trace… I am keen on ordering a few more products from the instant range- but with the observed longevity…i am seriously apprehensive…about the effects of the expensive phermones… Could the senior members guide and advise me on this please? Is it that the scent disappears but the phermones stick around or do the phermones too disappear with the scent… I am a bit confused…so any advice will be very very helpful awaiting replies Zeph
The most intense release may be during the first hour or two with Instant Shine, but there should still be effects after that. The cause & effect is your awareness of pheromone driven social cues goes up on a daily basis. The primary molecule in Instant Shine, however, is known to be one of the most fleeting.
A314’s primary effects should last 6 to 12 hours, depending on how fast the weather and your skin’s bacteria cannibalizes it. It leans towards longer lasting on most people.
This, too, should have longer lasting effects. Some people still notice differences the day after using A314. Oil products tend to give the longest lasting effects.
We have 2 “extended” versions of the spray products in testing, btw. Both versions of Shine, which, again, is one of the shortest lived products. One of the tests appears to be successful, so we’ll likely update the formula shortly.
The only downside to extension is that the first hour or two won’t be as intense. You’re trading the initial intensity that for a slower, surer release over more hours.
Shouldn’t hair apps last that bit longer as well, or is that just with certain pheros? What I have done, and this is just my amateur attempt at fixing the diffusion problem, is cover up the IS-sprayed areas (not hair) with sun lotion, EO or what have you, but I must say it’s hard to tell whether I’m completely slowing the effect: I certainly don’t get the intensity of the first two hours, even when I use 6-8 sprays.
