Okay I haven’t really posted in a while but I wanted to share my experiences, hopefully it’ll be useful for someone somewhere. I intended to report but got sidetracked; especially since it took a while for me to really notice results. I’m 16, live in UK, and since I’ve been using pheros for over a month now I should really have a lot to report. But it’s hard to retain information in your head for so long. Sorry ☹ I’ll be better in the future Generally, I’ve been using IS quite a lot, as well as mystery boy, alternating between them for school; I’ve found them to be very good for any situation (except perhaps a funeral). The effects are definitely very subtle, but there are things I have noticed. Sometimes, if I remember about the pheros (it’s good that it’s easy to forget in a way, makes me more normal), my confidence and sometimes ego is inflated, which isn’t a bad thing. People generally seem to act happier and are more at ease in my presence, which is great as a (metaphorical) ‘lubricant’. Specifically, I remember one time I was with a girl about the same age, outside, sitting down, when she commented that she felt really happy, but had no idea why. I thought it was a strange comment, but then it hit me, and I realised what could’ve been the cause. I remember that that day I was wearing two sprays of IS. I usually only wear one to two sprays, although my doses have been increased recently to a regular level of two sprays. IS and MB are both good, but I find IS more acceptable somehow. MB doesn’t seem to induce positive reactions as easily, but that could be purely down to chance. People tend to be more happy around me than they are rationally required to be, if that makes sense. Even when they say they’re tired. Which is quite a lot at school. With MB, it appears there is a tendency for people to be quite matey, guys that is. I seem to be able to have a laugh around with anyone which is good when I consider that it doesn’t seem like the norm. I’ve had blabbermouth reactions from CTTM (not sure if it’s 1 or 2 will have to check), with either IS or MB, but unfortunately I can’t remember. (That’s the problem with leaving it a long time, and is also the reason I am going to be more regular now on) I haven’t tried large amounts of IH, so I can’t say much about it. But people have generally been more pleasant (IS and MB), I even got a comment about smelling nice, which was good, because I notice the neroli smell very strongly sometimes. Oh, and people laugh when things I say aren’t that funny. I have an aura of confidence and happiness that people can latch onto. It’s not always the right situation, and sometimes, if I’m not happy, people can be a little too happy. But I don’t think I’ve had extreme reactions or anything too bothersome. Going to leave the reporting for now, but will update soon. Peace out, intothesun ---

Very cool! It certainly sounds like you’ve gotten some very good results. Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if you were getting blabbermouth reactions with CTTM (its 2) and Mystery boy. Both are very high in alpha-androstenol which makes people very upbeat and chatty. Wearing them both together has got to get people talking (and talking and talking and talking…) 🙂 ---

Snoopyace Yeah I really should try CTTM and [Mystery Boy](https://a314.com/product/mystery-boy/) some more. There’s definitely something there that I can use. Just a small update I’ve been playing with IH, and I have to say I really like it. For wednesday and thursday I used a comination of 1 spray IS, 1 spray MB and 1 spray IH. This is all well and good - not massively different from my usual (1-2 sprays of IS or MB), but seemingly more effective in some ways. It’s always very subtle, however, and I’m trying to be careful when attributing things to pheros. One thing I have noticed in particular though is that it’s all about interaction with pheros. The different responses you get from similar actions is very telling. Anyway, the general vibes on those days were upbeat, for sure, but there was perhaps more mateyness and rapport than usual. A lot of chatting (not too unintellectual either) and general enjoyment. The IH definitely changes the chemistry of situations - people seem emotionally closer, if that makes sense. More bonding and shared feelings. Definitely on friday, when I used 2 sprays of IH with 1 spray IS, there was building of rapport with people I haven’t ever been ‘mates’, people who I rarely see, as well as those I’ve never met before. People are always responding to what you say, and if interrupted, will wait to explain what they were saying. It’s all very interesting and in retrospect, quite fun. But I think I still have yet to play around with IH enough. My favourite so far is IS, but with the way IH is playing out, that title could be contested. MB is great too, but never feels quite deep enough, at least when compared with IH. IS is an all round winner though. CTTM appears solid, doing what it says on the tin… but it’s not special in the way IS is. ---

On monday I tried one spray of IH by itself, just to gauge its baseline effects (if any) and found that it wasn’t quite as wonderful as I was beginning to believe. There is a sense with IS, that everything I say and touch is gold. Exagguration of course, but this is almost the opposite of how I felt with IH that day. I felt exposed at times, like everything I said was being silently scrutinised. On the other hand, people did seem to be quite willing to talk to me; it was just the nature of interactions that put me off. Perhaps my mood was worse that day anyway, it was a monday after all. I definitely wasn’t in my brightest of moods, so none of that trademark wit 😛 (modesty is also a trademark of mine 😉) Disappointing, but in retrospect, I don’t really know what I was expecting. Definitely nothing remarkable. The next day was a test of IH to the chest and IS to the wrists. (Normally it’s the reverse. I use chest and neck a lot especially for IS) The IS does seem to buffer the IH, but the positive effects on myself were not really pronounced, which is odd as usually IS is quite good for making everything feel smooth. On the other hand, the day was definitely more positive than monday, although I don’t really remember much about it. Nothing significant I think, or I should’ve remembered. Later in the evening (at least +7 hours from first application) I applied MB and IS (one spray each) with good results. People were very relaxed, chirpy and generally in a good mood, and this applied with everyone. Of course, the occasion was very relaxed. We went to a lecture in cambridge and the intervening bus journeys were my playground. Lots of jokes and generally happy banter, although I don’t know to what extent pheros played a role. MB seems better suited for relaxed environments, outside of school. People come out of their shells I think. IS is good all round but still better in a relaxed environment, I have come to believe. IS is still the favourite atm. Wednesday I tried IH and IS again… not bad. It worked in the kind of way IO is described as (I don’t have IO), but slightly more laid back, I think. As in, people come to you to talk, but they’re not yapping on. It’s more as if you’re mates… even if you’re not really! Most of what I notice is retrospective, unless it’s something really blatant. IS + IH is not my favourite, but it’s definitely better than nothing. I think a lot of the time the effectiveness of pheros depends on my mindset as well as the quality, nature and environment of interactions (mostly talking, but I’ve noticed responses to body language of all sorts seems to be augmented by pheros). Thursday - IS and CTTM 2. As always, one spray each. Not much more to say from before, but it was probably better than IS with IH, at least in context. Compared to IS + IH, it seems more general purpose. The IS effect was obvious in retrospect. Is it just me or is it a lot harder for people to find me at all annoying instead of fun, or benign at worst? For Friday, today - Two sprays of IS. I just had to. I love IS too much I think. Nothing spectacular today, just a very smooth and pleasant day in general. My memory might be going down the drain though. Is it possible that IS makes me more lazy/ less conscientious? I find it harder to concentrate on one thing. I can’t pin this down to just IS though, I’m not always on the ball anyway. When I think about it, I’m surprised that my mood was so good for most of the day. Probably at about 1:45, about +5.20 from application, my cloud nine mood calmed down to baseline. I rarely notice at the time how good my mood is… but it is, even when I’m doing very little. Very useful, I must say. I guess I could’ve easily been in a good mood w/o IS, but how should I know?.. I think MB and IH need a bit more experimentation. CTTM is good but I feel like I need to save it for now. MB is an odd one. On one hand, it has a great ‘aura’ of bubbliness; but it requires a bubbly mindset for best effects… perhaps congruence is the main factor here? ---

update: My Journal Tried a week mostly devoid of pheros last week. Partly because I’m almost out of IS and also because I want to better gauge the effects against baseline. In most instances, it would be very difficult to discern any specific effects. However some things I have noticed that I believe to be affected: IS seems to put a charm on the world around you, including yourself. This girl I have sat next to for weeks seemed to lose that shell the day i gave up IS. With IS, she’ll listen to what I say, smile almost smugly (it’s hard to describe), but to be frank, won’t contribute a great deal of conversation. Just sitting happily. Although at least what I have to say seems to be worth listening to. I just tend to dominate conversation much more, in most instances actually. Without, she’s much more playful and less ‘entranced’. I hadn’t realised, but I’ve often been in the centre of conversation more, listened to more, and my remarks respected better - with IS. It often means a bit more work, but it’s definitely more fun along the way. Soon I’ll have run out of IS and MB, so I won’t be able to enjoy these favourites so much. Of course it gives me a chance to play with CTTM & IH more, but they do not seem to suit me as well a great deal of the time. I feel like my ‘presence’ has to be more forced and is not intrinsic to my being. Perhaps if I was always conversationally dominant I would see better results. I’m going to use lotsa IS on saturday, but that might be the last time. I can’t see in to the bottle but it’s much lighter than my MB which is close to finished. I would give more info this time but my report this week has mostly been focused on the differences between when pheros are present and not. And as I said, there are often times where do difference can be discerned. However it gives me a clearer image of what is different with IS from baseline. More respect, more of a happy go lucky image; intertwining nicely with my generally laid back approach. It seems to ensure a positive ‘aura’. i’ll shut up now. 😛 ---

What an interesting week it’s been. An hour before lunch on monday I applied two sprays of IS and damn, my confidence in this stuff has shot through the roof. Even one of my teachers gave me a v. interesting look. If she was a student i’d’ve taken that as a hit. Oh yeah, that reminds me, I got a total hit from some girl I was walking past. When someone looks at you once all over, you don’t necessarily think much of it. But damn, she would not stop checking me out! :DThis was IS too, I think the same dose, but the week previous. Unfortunately there aren’t always things to notice, but overall there are noticable things, such as how some of my teachers will keep on talking to me, about me, or make a half joke at my expense - I think perhaps the best way to describe it is that I have a circle of content and comfort about me. I can be silent for most of a lesson and this one teacher will treat me as if I had been shouting out, joking around or just been bubbly and stuff. Oh yeah, back to monday. Well, it was good. It really is as if I am constantly interacting with people on IS and perhaps MB, even if I’m not for a lot of the time. Like yesterday, which I’ll get to. People sitting next to you seem to be hit most. Actually, in a way, I was kind of annoyed how those next to me were affected more than me. For one it means it’s harder to play on the confidence and happiness and be congruent; I’m not so much the one spreading happiness and comfort but more the person people are around when they are happy and comfortable themselves, if that makes sense. But I guess I shouldn’t use them so much if I can’t play along with it and am just letting them do all the work. If I’m honest I don’t remember anything significant about Tuesday or Wednesday. It was MB I used most this week but apart from things I’ve already mentioned, it’s hard to pin down things. No ‘hits’ that I’ve been aware of etc. On Thursday, with 2 sprays of MB and one of IS, I somehow managed to pay attention to a whole one hour lecture. I don’t know if the pheros had anything to do with it, but it was definitely unusual so I’m noting anyway. It’s not something I’m normally able to do, especially so late in the day. MB seems to lend itself to casual mateyness and general banter. But it’s not intense, suggestive or dominating in anyway that I’ve noticed, very non threatening. Is it possible that IH can increase distance, at least in an environment with several people all chatting happily? I used IH and IS on friday and until later in the evening I didn’t feel as if I was molding into people’s mindsets as much as I should’ve been, there wasn’t as great a communicative response in either direction. I don’t know. There may have been something else. Yesterday I used one spray IS and one spray CTTM, and got good responses from teenage girls about my age. At one time, it was even noted that ‘wow someone smells really good’ ‘i hope it’s me’ ‘yeah it is’. BAM that was cool. I didn’t know them before that day but now we have excellent rapport. Oh and this guy as well was very eager to talk and joke with me, although that does seem to be his personality somewhat anyway. It’s surprising how many laughs and smiles you can share without words - expressions, eyebrows, and mime are all you need. Anyway, very good week. It’s great when people find you attractive, especially if they are themselves. I’m very eager to try A314 and/or IG actually, because they seem to be just up my street. Or that ‘light A314’. I’m loving IS, and will definitely buy that one again, but I feel like I’m running out of tools and toys. On one hand, I probably am achieving greater congruency over time, meaning more effectiveness. On the other hand, I’m feeling limited by these same few. IS and CTTM 2 are both versatile and brilliant, but I don’t want to feel like all I’m doing is repeating what other people have said. Oh and to anyone actually reading this, are there ways I could make my testing / reporting more effective? Feedback of any kind? It’s getting lonely in here. ---

If you want to shake up your reporting style a bit you could always use some variation on the template that a lot of us use.

Made a new order recently. Included were two putatives, p125 and p135. I will be trying these out to see what they do. Just tried a spray of p125 on its own by myself. After five minutes I had a momentary light headedness. The impression I get so far is that of an old man. Mind you I’m only 23. Mixed with something like IS to give it some excitement and it may yet do something worthwhile. I can’t help but feel that perhaps this molecule really isn’t ‘me’. But I will continue testing and see what I happens. There is some emotional reaction going on but it’s ambiguous so far. It feels a little bit ‘other’. Not having high hopes for this molecule unfortunately, but it’s too soon to tell. There seems to be a calming, slowing effect also. Whether it’s the phero or not I feel neither particularly positive or negative. Like I couldn’t be anxious or depressed but I couldn’t be exuberant either. Will keep updating. Edit: Maybe twenty minutes later I’m feeling momentary desire for intimacy, then respectful distance again. Maybe this one grows on you after a while. Starting to feel content, like after getting used to it I’ve got a nice homely feeling. It’s really too soon to tell. I wouldn’t be surprised if my later attempts reveal something quite different. While I’m afraid of using a chemical that I don’t know what to expect of, I feel like I’d like to try this out with some other people around. I’ll try this out at the pub sometime. ---

Welcome back buddy. P125 was quite peculiar indeed. Well I am tuned in to see what happens here.
