Day 1. My order arrived right before I was leaving for work this morning so I had a chance to start using some.
I got IS, TUTH, and IH as well as a gift of IO togo.
I had been using Athena 10x and quite often I’ve been told I smell really good.
After reading a lot of threads I learned a few things. Since I’m 40ish I have a lower none profile. From other information on this forum I’ve found that Athena 10x is very mild in concentration.
As a practice run I wore the 10x yesterday but I purposely used a bit more and applied a dab to each wrist and rubbed. I have no idea what concentration of cologne to 10x I used. I had purchased it over a year ago.
I was in a meeting in an office and my coworker seemed to be restless throughout the meeting. She was playing with her hair and her body seemed to be pointed at me.
Today I got my order.
So I used my Athena like I did yesterday but added a shot of IS to each wrist. I did a spray of the IO on my neck as well.
I was getting lunch at the store and another coworker who I don’t really talk to was talking a lot to me before she had to go back to work.
I went back to the lunchroom at work to grab some utensils when my gf ran into me.
I buried the lead lol- she is the main reason I started looking into expanding beyond athena. There have been a few occasions after having sex where she would say i smelled really good.
Recently I felt like we were becoming more distant. We’ve been only together for about four months. She’s gone from saying “lets get married!”(always after having sex) to being suddenly busy. She wanted to move in with me as well.
I know she was busy and I have monopolized a lot of her time since we’ve been going out. I always said balance was good and that she should spend more time with her friends and family.
So I run into her at lunch. This is about two hours after I applied the sprays.
She was very upbeat and talkative but she said she woke up in a good mood. This is also day 3 of her period. The past week she was very emotional.
She stood next to me and seemed to mirror my stance. Then she started playing with my shirt and just fussing over me a bit.
After work she comes over to my place and I hurry to apply more.
I did one spray of TUTH and another shot of IO - both on the chest. I didn’t have time to minimize the strength of the smell so i wanted to cover it for a while. She made no comments like “God you have a lot of cologne on”.
We’re hanging out and she says “We need to talk”.
I’ve been preparing for this talk for two weeks since I noticed she’s been more distant.
One of the things people say here is that its 90% you. I had assumed the worst and prepared for a breakup.
That should show you that I can be a bit neurotic and a bit insecure.
The talk went well and she still wants to be a couple but she wanted to slow it down a bit.
There is a big age difference. I’m 42 and she’s 25. I tell her I agree that taking it slower would be better.
Short of it is, we’re still a couple- she just needs more time with her family.
The talk itself was interesting. She can be very affectionate but today seemed a bit different.
She climbed onto my lap and straddled me. She kept playing with the zipper on my fleece. I had sprayed the IS and TUTH on my chest so the zipper was right on top of that area. Maybe she was keying in on it sub consciously or the mones were kicking in a bit.
Again this is my first day and I only did 1 spray of TUTH and one of IO. I didn’t even use the IH yet.
I have a feeling that what I put on helped her be more comfortable in telling me what she wanted.
All I know is I’m more curious to play around with these and see how things go at work.
I work where there are a lot of women so I am very curious to see how different combos work.
I was able to get an order of ammo and it should be arriving tomorrow. I am curious to see how much more of an impact it should have.
