This morning before class, I gave myself 5 sprays of MX300:
2 hair
1 wrist
1 neck
1 upper lip and smeared run-off around the mouth (to get as close to nose as possible)
My goodness, I do believe this stuff really does work! I didn’t get any absolutely clear hits (no one telling me how awesome I smell), so it could be the placebo effect. Still, as I walked to school, I felt not just a rush of confidence but also out-and-out happiness and contentment. Even though I was running a little late, I didn’t worry at all-- just strode confidently with self-knowledge that I could charm my way out of any trouble (where usually I sprint in terror of being scowled at). Once I arrived to class, I felt shiny, confident, and ready to go. In class I spoke with authority about the things I know, felt no self-consciousness about asking questions (where normally I’m scared to ask something stupid), and noticed that the guy next to me started mirroring my body language. I then made a rather risky joke about our curriculum right in the middle of session, and the entire room broke up laughing! I think, for me, MX300 doesn’t just have alpha effects-- it has happy/shiny effects, too.
And, now that I’m home, I’m in the mood to study. I’m never in the mood to study immediately after school-- I always feel so exhausted by the social and emotional effort involved (we’re team taught in small groups) that I just want to crash. But today I feel like I’m more than ready to take on the world.
That’s not to say that I have some sort of immutable confidence. While at school, I passed someone who makes me really uncomfortable, and felt a familiar shot of anxiety. But I didn’t feel as anxious as usual, and the feeling passed more quickly than usual.
So, overall, I’m very pleased by my experience with MX300. The only problem is that I liked this one so much that I’m hesitant to try anything else! I think I’ll probably use this one everyday at school and try the other ones in other places for awhile…

P.S. Oh, one other thing. As I sat in class, I found myself instinctively drawn to keep smelling my own wrists. I wasn’t aware of my own behavior at first, but it slowly dawned on me that I kept smelling something wonderful. Then I looked down and saw how close my wrists were to my nose.
So maybe I did get a clear hit-- myself!
