I’ve had mx297 for a while and used about half of the bottle, but I decided to test it solo this weekend and really get a feel for it. I was interacting with various strangers and coworkers Friday night. Applied first spray to top of hands and rubbed behind ears. Applied 2nd spray to wrists and rubbed on my neck and chin. Applied 3rd spray about 4 hours later to back of head. Scent is spicy.
I actually noticed pretty good self effects from this unlike a lot of other pheros. I would describe it as being very cool, higher class, like you can fit in with the “in” crowd anywhere you go without feeling like you’re better than everyone else. It gave me a similar sense as a314 and a rone like feeling without being overly serious or dominating. To me this feels more like what I was expecting from instant gentleman.
I felt at ease talking with strangers, but I didn’t feel talkative. It’s like it reduces social anxiety, but it didn’t make me or others extra chatty.
I felt friendly the whole time I was wearing it. My natural personality is fairly laid back, and this went well with it but did little to add anything new. It did not feel very high energy or goofy and it would be hard to make crazy or overly animated jokes while wearing this even if I thought of them. It would feel too out of place. I would describe this as the feeling of being an important person at a classy dinner who has no problem engaging various people in conversation.
It feels like a mix with rone, possible none, a social putative, and maybe taa with some other stuff.
For the opposite sex, I can’t say I got any “hits” other than just general friendliness from women. My female coworker was in a pretty good mood and brought herself near me on several occasions, but I can’t blame this mix for that can happen on any given night. Nevertheless, I would say tonight was about as good as any phero wise with her mood and general behavior.
More testing tommorow. This confirms the feelings I’ve had in the past with this, although I’ve usually combined it with other products and it felt a little too serious. Solo it was much better.
