Good morning forum,
Yesterday was the first opportunity I really had to test my newly acquired MX297. Pretty long layover in London before I’m on flight duty again…the fiance is visiting her parents abroad, so I thought I’d take up an invite to go to a nice bar / restaurant and club with a group 
Test: MX297
Sprays: 2 sprays initially to either side of the neck, one spray later on in the evening (2 hrs later) to the centre of the neck
Location: A nice bar / restaurant, followed by a club
Clothing: Jeans, shirt and a nice velour jacket
Positive effects on me:
-
Immediately uplifting, certainly a confidence boost. At one point in the evening I asked a waitress how her evening had been, I can’t imagine ever having done that before.
-
I like the smell (Akuto I believe), it’s a little similar to the “CEO” colognes of the 80’s (like Guerlain’s Heritage for example)
Negative effects on me:
- None perceived
Positive effects on others (noticed hits):
-
Upon reaching the bar, the barwoman (an attractive lady in her mid 30’s) immediately says “you look really nice today…going out somewhere special?”. There were others in my group, but I’m the only one who got a compliment.
-
Quite a few people, friends and otherwise, were coming up to me saying “you look sharp”, “you look slick”, “I like your jacket” etc…
-
Quite a few stares from people, men and women alike…possibly DIHL, but could be just curiosity as well!
-
SERIOUS AMOUNTS OF RESPECT! Inviting me to go to another club, people acting stupidly (in a bad way) around others but sharpening up in front of me, numerous handshakes (for no apparent reason).
-
One person said that I remind her of “Hani Pasha”…for those of you who have seen the film “Body of Lies” (with Leo Di Caprio and Russell Crowe), you’ll be familiar with the character I’m talking about.
Negative effects on others:
Tried talking to one girl (no romantic intention whatsoever)…it was like talking to a brick wall, with one-word answers. I’m normally a good conversationalist, but this was seriously tough. I saw her talking normally with others though…so it was me, or something about me, which led to her reticence!
Overall view:
- Love it! I believe that congruency is important here, this mix…the “HANI PASHA” mix, is for people who want to portray a certain vibe. I agree with other reporters in the “head of state” or “don corleone” vibe that this mix radiates. You certainly can’t float around in a scruffy t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops with this mix and expect to see hits…you’ll just confuse people
As always, I’m here to answer any questions you may have…it would be interesting to see what others make of this mix!
