So I started the day wearing just the mx297 at work and that was alright. Nothing major… some usual decent status and deferments to me when someone didn’t know something in my area.
At lunch I was about 5 hours out from the original application of 3 sprays so on my way to the grocery store I added 2 sprays of mx297 (each side of neck and lightly smeared on forearms), 2.5 sprays of IH (sides of neck and forearms) and 2 sprays of IS (front/side of neck).
I walked into the store and headed towards the asian food section as I was trying to find some tamarind paste for some thai dishes. There were 2 black women standing in the aisle right there. One was in her late 20’s to mid 30’s and the other was in her 50’s/60’s (mother/daughter). A gentleman walked down the aisle behind me and the younger woman made a comment about him smelling good after he passed. The thing is, it wasn’t him. I quickly corrected her and let her know that the pleasing scent she was experiencing was eminating from myself. The older woman deferred the status directly to me by telling her daughter something to the tune of “oh you better bet it right girl” and had a good laugh and smile on her face. They both asked what it was and I told them “Unfortunately I can’t tell you because I can’t risk the rest of the world smelling this good” with a smile and a laugh. The 2 women were highly receptive and we carried on the conversation for another minute or 2 and parted ways, all parties involved with a smile on our faces. I did notice some light dihl/gazing from the 2 as well.
Time of exposure must have been no more than 30-60 seconds when the guy walked by me and the comment was made about the scent. The whole interaction lasted maybe 3-4 minutes. The initial impression was the scent package and my congruence with the pheros (acting in a positive, upbeat manner, good posture, soft and approachable facial expression) helped to lead the remainder of the interaction.
Under a lot of circumstances I would normally just let the scent hit go but I saw a great opportunity to turn it into a solid interaction and give the mones a chance to add to the dynamic. I think the 2.5 sprays of IH along with the 2 sprays of IS really add a nice characterisitic to the mx.
I’m thinking I might try this out again pretty soon in a different social situation. The fact that the ladies were around my age or older helps to target the status hit aspect of the mx, the IH helped to incite them to speak about how good the scent was, and the IS kept a fun and playful vibe through the whole thing.
Cheers!
