I’m running out of this so thought I’d type a brief summary of what I think I’ve found so far. I’ve tried to test this “blind” with only a cursory knowledge of what others have found with this, and it’s differently scented predecessor. It’s difficult to read the forum and not pick up some knowledge about the MX’s prior to testing however hard you try.
So my main info on this was that it was a potential attractant. I’m going to bullet point this for easy reading.
Me: Caucasian male, 6ft2, athletically built, friendly but can put out an intimidating vibe unintentionally
Spray quantities: 1 to 3. If 1 spray always side of neck, if 3 sprays then mostly 2 on neck and 1 on wrist
Self-Effects:
-
even at 1 spray I became serious. Not incapable of fun but very driven. If I was going down the gym I’d put in a pretty serious workout. If I was working it was like I had blinkers on to stop distraction until I’d achieved my task.
-
direct. Linked to the above, when dealing with people I made eye contact more than before and spoke my mind quicker. My thoughts seemed clearer too. It’s a “no messing about” frame of mind.
Effects on Others:
-
some IOI’s but nothing I’d put down as being 100% definitely mone influenced until I added in P83…I typed a report on this before and tested it again on more than one occasion but that combo almost got a bit embarassing with the level of blatant IOI’s and DIHL from women aged early 20’s to late 40’s and possibly older.
-
status. I get a big status reaction from this. I am aware this could be down to my projection of self with the self-effects but I think it is mone influenced too. I got all my money back in a printing store after bad service (they messed up my order) without even having to ask. I don’t think I even complained and the error didn’t deserve a full refund AND the goods which is what I got
. Twice in fact I got refunds for bad service in places while wearing MX350. In a book store people made space for me to get to a shelf like I was Moses parting the Red Sea, at the gym people left machines when it was obvious I was seeing if they were free etc. It wasn’t like I was intimidating though and I didn’t get a sense reactions were negative. -
it’s not an alpha vibe like A314. People don’t want me to lead them. It’s not a “cool” vibe like IG. People don’t want to help me or be around me. I think it’s a “lone wolf, this guy is going to get stuff done and we’d better not get in the way” vibe but not intimidatingly so.
So that’s my experience. I know all this will be subjective to an extent just because everyone will have different experiences due to their natural signature and all the other variables but I hope this is useful to someone.
Summary of the summary: to me, in contrast to what I’ve read in other reports, MX350 isn’t a major attractant. I can see though how that attitude and impression it gives off could be an attractant to some women and it’s possible my physical presence is a factor in putting people off. If I had more of it left I’d try it softened with some socials to see what happened.
To me, as a standalone, it is a seriousness mix - if I had a task to do today and it had to be done and involved being blunt with people / getting people to give me space to achieve it, I’d be going for 2 sprays of MX350.
