Long thread, long wait…
A314 oil (Royale V1/Rev32)
So, first let the cat out of the bag: The new Rev 32 is the same product as Royale V1. Got word from Dee that there had been a screwup at the shipping department, and from his words I can only assume that management had been pretty damn pissed about it. So, there are currently 2 versions on the market: Royale v1 and Naturelle v1. I don’t have naturelle v1, nor did I ever try the oil before, so when I got my oil it basically went full-on blind testing for me.
My experience with oils is pretty limited. I don’t have any reference other than the A314/A sprays, so that is what I am comparing it with mostly. From my experience, 3-4 drops is usually enough to keep me in a state of focus. Less, and it will work, but in a less obvious way and I don’t have the feeling that it works that well. The smell though is not apparent, it does smell a bit in the beginning, but then dies out soon afterwards, while the focus still resumes.
These last couple of days (when I started using A314 Royale V1) I seem to get the power to do things. I don’t get home, eat and sleep, I get home, get stuff done and THEN sleep. I’m not wondering anymore, i am doing things. Less focussed on thinking, more on doing. Its similar to an “all hail the glorious leader”, which I find a really great way to say that I am currently behaving. Its not bitchy, but I do want to be more in control these last couple of days. During presentations, I am forced to calm myself down because I want to correct the guy and get myself in control, I make assumptions based on what people say, I want to know the exact reason WHY stuff breaks down and who’s responsible for it. In simple terms, I am the boss and I want to be in control.
I started working on a book that is similar to a rather famous person called “Ratelband”, a motivator who lives in holland and yells “Tjakkaa!”. For me, its not “Tjakka”, but “Don’t stare, just do it.” I have to say that the A314 really got me in that point of “do stuff”, since I found out that I go to bed earlier and get up also early (and before A314, I had a hard time getting out of bed).
My conclusion on Royale V1: I’m not writing it down as horseshit. In fact, its a great help for me to reach that potential I have inside of me, but the dosage could be a bit higher. 4 drops to reach critical mass is a bit low for me, but the effects I do get are what I was expecting from it. I haven’t seen any big differences with friends, family and work, but from my experience its that 4 drops that does the magic for me.
For those that don’t know what I am talking about or want to have some ideas on how I feel:
If it were music, what would it sound like?
I would say its a military march. Steady drum, enforcing the rules, having authority.
If it had a texture, what would it feel like?
I think its best to compare with velvet. I have thought about leather, but I found that one a bit too masculine (it reminds me of bikers). Hard rough surface, but bendable and still a bit of a soft tone to it.
If it were edible or drinkable, what would it taste like?
I would say a rare steak, just a bit too hard on the bite. Its like the chef ordered a new type of meat, and for some it seems to be a bit too hard on the bite. For me, its a bit of an adjustment, but when I order the big version of that steak it seems to work better than the smaller one.
What celebrity or public figure is it most like?
I would say an older version of Batman. Bit of an arrogant behavior, cockiness, business man, but lacks the subtile female touch of someone like catwoman. It does kick a punch when using its gadgets, but there is still a bit of arrogance in there. Not easy to describe but I think its a rough diamond that just got cut and still needs an extra layer of very fine polish.
EDIT: I have also noticed (and that was also referenced by Dee) that you need a cover scent. Its barely noticable for me that I am wearing A314, its also really hard to smell it.
