So I decided to try out some pheromones, kindly [recommended](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/hey/28168) by a few members of the community. I ordered a bottle of [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/), and got a travel sized Instant Honesty free with it. All this week I’ve been using the recommended 2 sprays on my wrists, but I haven’t noticed any changes. I’m starting to have doubts in the pheromones, but it could be that I’m not using enough sprays? Any suggestions on how to make it more effective? ---

I’m guessing that you got 1x [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/), right? With two sprays, you may not see very much. Try this: 2 sprays IO on neck 2 sprays IO (one each wrist) See if that doesn’t work a little better. Depending on quite a bit of facts, it may take more phero’s to get the job done. Could you tell us more info about what you’ve been doing while wearing them and where you’ve been wearing them? That could help. Thanks! ---

I agree with MFG. Application points are very important. Congruence as well. ---
