MX135 to-go

This is my first ever report. Thanks to my uni schedule and a mountain of coursework, I don’t have much human contact every day, so I only wear pheros when it’s likely to be worth it. You’ll notice that my reports centre around time spent in class, my social schedule’s been pretty dead lately, but I should have some more varied environments soon. Here’s what I’ve got so far:

Testing: MX135 To-go

Scent: Don’t know which one it is, but it’s reminiscent of almond essence. Very strong at first, but gets milder quickly and is then quite pleasant.

Duration: Can’t be sure when the effects fully wore off, but I refreshed it with a couple of sprays after about 3 hours

Day 1: 3 sprays – 1 to hair, 2 to chest
Environment: Small computer lab, casual atmosphere (not a class), roughly 5 other people there
Self effects: Spontaneous smiling after a couple of minutes. Felt quite cheery
Effects to others: A guy I know from class but don’t really chat to seemed chattier than usual. Also got me to watch a video he had running on his computer.
I ran into a lecturer whose class I had missed the previous day, he was very nice when I explained the situation and seemingly bought my really weak excuse

Day 2: 4 sprays – 1 to hair, 2 to chest, 1 split between wrists
Environment: Small seminar room for a class. Approx 15 people there
Self effects: Had trouble paying attention (maybe the class was just boring).
Felt a bit giggly and giddy
Effects to others: A guy I’d been flirting with sat beside me, was leaning towards me on occasion and smiled at me whenever our eyes met
General atmosphere seemed to get more casual over time
The people sitting nearest to me were also having trouble paying attention.

Environment: Chatting after class and walking home
Effects to others: None noticed

Day 3: 4 sprays – 1 to hair, 1 to chest, 1 to neck, 1 split between wrists
Environment: Medium-sized lecture hall. Approx 30 people there
Self effects: Felt more positive than I normally would going to that lecture
Difficulty paying attention
Effects to others: Someone I don’t speak to very much struck up a conversation before class

Environment: Patio of a café. 3 other people there
Effects to others: Two female classmates started commenting (positively) on my appearance

Environment: Outdoor fruit & veg market
Pheros were probably wearing off by that point, so not much discernable effect
The guy I like seemed to be quite keen to chat with me

Day 4: 4 sprays (as before) and top-up 2 hours later with another spray to chest
Environment: Small study room for a study group, 3 other people there
Self effects: Felt a bit giggly, had trouble taking things seriously
Effects to others: None noticed

Environment: Café, 1 other person there (the object of my desires)
Effect to others: He seemed to be hovering closer to me than normal. Got right up close to me and started making suggestions as to what food to order

Environment: Large computer lab, approx 40 people there. Practise session
**Effect to others:**The guy I like chose to sit beside me and suggested that we work together on the assignment. He had no trouble with the topic, so this was seemingly for my benefit.
He was chatty the whole way through (he normally listens to music so he can concentrate on what he’s doing), the conversation seemed to flow more freely than usual and he seemed more open

Environment: Walking home (just me and the guy)
Conversation flowed easily and he stood outside my apartment building chatting with me for a couple of minutes even though he was clearly freezing his ass off

Day 5: 4 sprays – 1 each on chest, neck and hair, with 1 split between wrists. Top-up 3 hours later with a spray to the chest and wrists
Environment: Small classroom
**Self effects:**Reasonably good mood
Less tired than I would normally be when running on 4 hours of sleep
Effect to others: People seemed to be finding me more approachable than usual. Within a few minutes of applying MX135, a classmate was pouring her heart out to me about how overwhelmed she feels by the coursework
The mood seemed to lift while we were all chatting before class started, people seemed cheerier after a few minutes

Environment: Yet another small classroom (most of my reports are from an academic setting, you’ve probably noticed that)
Effect to others: Once again, the guy I like sat beside me and immediately started telling me about the weekend he’d spent with some relatives, going into quite a lot of detail about the family dynamic. He then apologised for not sending me an article summary that would’ve been helpful in the upcoming class (he had never actually said he’d send me the summary).
I noticed the guy leaning towards me quite a few times during the class.
He and I were chatting after class and we both felt able to speak more openly about academic stresses and our methods of dealing with them. Overall, the quality of our conversations seems to have improved and moved to a more personal nature since I started using the MX135

In summary:
Based on what others have written, I was expecting to get the WOW effect from MX135, so I was a little disappointed when the only effects I really noticed was increased approachability and the tendency of others to open up to me on a personal level. I thought that was what Instant Openness and Instant Honesty were for. Initially, I didn’t think I was getting any hits, but looking back on it I can see that people were more responsive to me, keener on actually being around me and more likely to tell me things you’d normally only tell a close friend. Essentially, it increased social attractiveness rather than romantic or sexual. It’s entirely possible that this is all down to environment, an academic setting isn’t exactly conducive to enticing the opposite sex. It also seemed to have a mood-elevating effect on others as conversations rapidly turned sillier and more upbeat when I was involved (although I like to walk on the silly side of life anyway, so maybe that was just my own influence).
So yeah, I’m happy with MX135, just not quite as happy as I’d expected from the rave reviews people have been giving. Hopefully I’ll figure out my own balance before to long and then I can have my WOW effect

(That was a long one, can you tell that I do research as part of my degree? :wink:)

That was a great report Clara! :slight_smile:

Sometimes “hits” are subtle. Your observations are good. In class people are trying to concentrate on the work at hand, so even though they feel the effects are not as free to act on the impulse. I think you may have better luck with MX135 in a more relaxed social setting. You may also need to up your sprays as everyones sweet spot is different. I get good effects with 2-3 sprays.

Even though Openness and Honesty are billed as THE communication pheromones many others are highly attractive in the same respect. Don’t be thrown as to the potential of social attractiveness of other pheromones that aren’t labeled as such. Mx135 is known as “the kitchen sink” pheromone mix containing 56 different pheromones. It incorporates the communication pheromones as well so no wonder it was drawing people closer to you.

Not everyone is personally effected the same way by the same pheromones. I don’t get shiny from Instant Shine and neither do a lot of others. I get a dull head even though those around me respond positively…no shine for Bella. :frowning: Meh. I use TAA instead. I still get great responses with that but no headache.

Even though you didn’t get what you were expecting…I think MX135 did what it was suppose to do and you got some good hits. Now try again, in a more social setting and perhaps add another spray or two and see what happens. :wink:

Reps!

Bella

Nice to know that 4 years of undergraduate study and countless research reports have finally come in handy :smiley:

The classes are fairly informal, it’s generally a discussion group rather than a lecture, so there’s less concentration involved.
I’m going bowling with a bunch of classmates this week, so I’m trying to decide whether to stick with just MX135 or go for a combo to see what happens

It was a little weird at first. I’m used to people striking up conversations with me (I don’t know what it is about me, but people like talking to me), but not on such a personal level. It’s all good though, means I get to know my classmates better.

Ooh, I’m about to order instant shine. I hope I don’t get the dull head effect, I need to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. I’ve been waivering between ISh and instant sunshine, not sure which way to go on this one

I’m really finding this fascinating. I wonder if pheros are being marketed to the mental health industry. Seems that they could be helpful in treating people who don’t want to take traditional drugs.

Clara:

That was an excellent report. Reps to you! :slight_smile:

I know you wanted the “wow” effect but as Bella pointed out environment does influence people’s behavior. A more social situation where people can let their hair down- party, club, get together- might elicit a more interesting response.:wink:

I personally use MX235 (MX135 but with a cookie scent). I always get that center of attention effect when I wear it. Last Thursday I went to a wine tasting event and wore 5 sprays of MX235 (2 to the neck, 1 to the chest, 1 on my wrist, and 1 in the back of the neck near the hairline). The men there (total strangers) would not take their hands off my hair. I got so many hits! It was fun!! :smiley:

Clara you are on the right track, you did get hits. If you want the “wow” effect next time wear it in a more congruent atmosphere. Good luck. All the best!!!..Siren

Very nice report Clara. Bella and siren have pretty much made any comments I would have so … I will end by saying keep up the good work.

great report, i wanted to add some reps but i guess i thanked you too quickly.

Ok, one final report on MX135 alone

Dosage: 3 sprays to chest

Environment: Crowded bar with friends

Self-effects: Good mood, but a bit headachey
Effect to others: Everyone in my vicinity got a bit silly, conversation was a little more open and honest than usual. We also started making plans for stuff we should do together (like socialising together more often and even go travelling together at some point). A good time was had and we ended up staying out longer than we’d intended.

No other discernable effects that I could notice

So yeah, I’m not really getting the superstar effect, maybe it’s because the pub was a very casual setting and I wasn’t dressed to kill or looking to be the centre of attention. What I’m definately getting is a more friendly and open atmosphere. People are more honest about how they’re feeling and we all seem to be bonding more. Maybe it’s just to do with the kind of person that I am. I’ve always been more of a carer than a show-off.

So I’m thinking that maybe MX135 just makes people notice what you’ve already got going on and amplifies your ability to express it. In some cases that means turning an already sociable person into the life and soul of the party, and in my case, turning a person who likes to take care of people into the heart of a group. Just a theory

clara, great reports! I agree with you that MX135 will amplify your “social” standing while pushing you to the fore. Are you more an introspective person?

It’s not easy to describe me as a person. I would describe myself as being a rather neurotic introvert, while the casual observer would describe me as being a carefree extrovert. I’m a walking contradiction.

Basically, I like to put on a show, I like being able to entertain people, and I’m good at it, but I value the quiet life too, and I do spend a lot of my time inside my own head.

So I suppose the moral of the story is, MX135 can’t change who you are, but it can get others to appreciate the person you already are

You are so right. Pheromones will not change what you are just amplify what you already are, thus congruency (personal and/or ambiance) is what it is all about. In your case you found out that it was both. I am an older woman but with a young soul. I am very energetic on the hyper side and look 10 years younger, but when I wear Instant Shine people peg me for being way younger (13-15 years younger) that I actually am…LOL… love it!:smiley: Nonetheless if I was old inside and acted old no amount of Instant Shine would make a difference on how I would appear to others.

Good job Clara you are on the right track!:slight_smile:

Crap! I think I’m getting the IS headache too. I got my IS today and sprayed some on, started feeling a headache coming on pretty soon after that. It hasn’t really gone away, even with painkillers.

It might just be a coincidence, so I’ll continue trialling ISh for another couple of days. If it’s still affecting me, I guess I’ll have to trade it in for TAA. Thank god for the satisfaction guarantee
