Looking through the phero store I was shocked at how many of my favorite MX’s were out of stock when I was going to recommend them. I know that the fine folks from Androtics are very busy so it isn’t a rant but merely an observation. I saw that MX114 was still in stock and I knew I’d worn it at least once but couldn’t remember why I hadn’t tried it again. So I took it for a whirl again today.
I was specifically trying to go places where I DIDN’T know anyone. So I went to a local bookstore that has a coffee shop attached.
MX114 is Akuto scented, which I happen to LOVE. I wear several different pheros in Akuto depending on what mood I’m in. Works great because people consciously smell the Akuto but unconsciously pick up on the pheros.
One spray to the front of the neck and one split between the tops of the hands. Woah. Phero rush. I felt strong and in control. I like it! Like with MX115 I can’t handle more than 2 sprays of this. From experience, other people around me can’t either.
I can’t remember for sure but I think when I tried this the first time I was thinking that rush came from ~none but now I am not so sure. It could be P83 that is doing that to me. Whatever it is, I like it. So I spray it on in the vehicle and immediately head inside to the store.
As I’m going in I see a mom with a stroller struggling to get the door open to leave. I go and keep the door open so she can go through. She looks at me and stares for a second then apologizes for getting in my way. ‘Nope, no problem at all. Just glad I could help.’ Then she smiles and thanks me and off she goes.
Inside. I’m browsing the books and men get within 5 feet and are suddenly moving out of my way. Any woman I stand near starts getting fidgety and looking at me. Lots of the classic indicators of interest. Unless I say ‘hi’ or initiate conversation in some way they don’t want to. Once I say ‘hi’ they are suddenly very chatty. At least 3 apologies out of 5 women I talked to while walking around. Usually apologizing for something REALLY insignificant that they’d said. Not even things that would be considered offensive. Like they were attracted but intimidated at the same time.
I go up to the ‘cafe’ area and am standing in line. The guy in front of me suddenly bolts from the line and gets in line 2 people behind me. Huh?!!! 
Oh well. So I step forward to place my order and the girl behind the counter asks what I’d like so I tell her. As she is standing there she suddenly gets this blank expression and I truly remember MX114. I’d seen that look before on a girl working a minor league baseball game over the summer. The girl in front of me gets fidgety and instead of ringing up my order so I can move down she goes to make my drink herself while I stand there. She also apologizes for me having to wait in line. Again, I had 2 people in front of me and one backed away as soon as he got a whiff of my MX114 (you had to be there- then you’d understand that it wasn’t him having trouble making up his mind.) I didn’t have long to wait. She takes it over to the counter by me and I’m talking to her while she’s finishing up making my drink. She is starting to warm up to me quite a bit when she goes to put my coffee on the counter and somehow tipped it, knocking the lid off (couldn’t have been on right to come off that easily). She starts apologizing again and tells me my coffee is free. I couldn’t believe she was so flustered. I thanked her and told her I’d move down so she could work on the other customers.
The girl who SHOULD have been making my drink starts making it and I’m standing by the pickup area trying to get her in my phero cloud. I am making small talk and she asks if I have cologne on. I told her I did and asked if it was good or bad. ‘Very good. Spicy.’ Woo!
An Alpha girl who isn’t intimidated by MX114. Turns out she is actually the manager there and she starts chatting while giving me this unabashed look up and down 
(good thing I dressed nicely today). DJ’s right, clothes make the man. She hands me my coffee so I am about to move away from the pickup area when she tells me to hang on a minute. She is just talking away with me while she’s working (she’s a good 6’ away so I figure she HAD to be out of my cloud). Suddenly she hands me a business card with her cell number on the back. ‘Call that number if you are interested in getting to know me better.’ I did everything I could not to look shocked. ‘Cool, I’ll remember that.’ I grin and walk away amazed at the power of pheromones. If I didn’t feel like I had balls of solid steel from the MX114 I’d have never gotten that phone number. I’ve gotten very confident without the pheros but they make a HUGE difference.
I was sitting in a big wingback chair feeling really sure of myself when an older guy walked by and about 2/3 of the way by me, he suddenly stops and apologizes for getting in my way. Am I THAT intimidating right now? I had to get up and leave because it was getting to me. Then I remembered why I only wore this once. About this time I think I was discovering Steve’s ICM mixes and they were less intimidating.
If you are not afraid to approach on your own, this stuff is incredible. I wonder how this would pair with MX337. I love the disinhibiting effects of MX336 and MX337 is supposed to be an Akuto version of MX336 so I may have to hit the club and try MX337 and MX114 paired together. I don’t think I’ll be using this one much unless I’m at a bar because I think it would ROCK in that environment around women who are strong enough for a man who wears MX114.
In the meantime I’ll just have to suffer through my stash of MX115/MX116/MX297.
