I came to love IS A, which I thought initially was not for me -I would consider myself more of a TAH girl- when wearing it in particular circumstances, such as co-ed sports, where I play better when I am in touch with my competitive side, which is definitely in me but not always “turned on” so to speak!
Other occasions where IS A worked well for me are work related events/ intellectual meetings, where I need self confidence.
On the other hand, I went to this party last week end where I wore about 4 sprays of IS A, I usually spray on my hair, neck and wrists.
I have got very long hair so it is definitely a great way to put the pheros out there, especially during winter.
I felt great, had a nice outfit on, got some compliments on how I looked from my BF and some friends at the party, but to be honest, something was off.
I kind of felt like I was on a pedestal, but like it was lonely up there lol!
Now the party was with friends I knew for a good 2/3rd I’d say. It was relaxed, laid back environment, very friendly. I didn’t feel like I was connecting with my friends as much as I normally would.
I usually have great results with mx135 at parties, it’s my favorite social mix actually, and I know it’s TAH heavy.
I think there is such a thing as using the right mix at the time, not just finding what works for you in all circumstances. At least maybe for me!
It could just be what IS/a naturally does to you. It has a tendency to, again, create that “alpha” vibe and to be honest there can only be one alpha. :o
Compared to TAH, TAL is harder to approach. I’m sure it can encourage people to back away and respect from afar. And yes, that IS really lonely
You’re completely right when you say there is a right time for each mix for every person. This is perhaps a good example of it - IS/a might not be for you when it comes to party time but mx135 sure is ! On the contrast, TAL is beautiful for competitive sports.
This is how I feel with TAL-heavy mixes, too. I try to not let it affect me, but after a few hours of having people treat me deferentially, I sometimes turn cold and remote. I have this problem a bit naturally anyway, and TAL really makes it easy to not fight that.
This is important, Mademoiselle. There are several things to consider when chosing what pheromines to wear. If you haven’t read this thread, you may find it helpful in answering your question.
SillyKitty- I don’t think I ODed honestly, because I felt like I normally feel wearing IS A, only it didn’t have desirable in that context for me. But thank you for your observation.
Cookiegirl -yep! That’s exactly right, ‘harder to approach’ is a good way to describe how I felt! Sometimes it’s good when you want to tell people “don’t F** with me” lol, sometimes it’s too much
Ariadne- I actually don’t feel like a TAL personality per se, I consider myself to be very friendly easy to talk to, very extravert. Love your avatar pic btw, is it you?
You totally have the “don’t F* with me” look on that pic!
Bella- great link, I have read about congruence before, makes total sense to me! Thanks! What I have learnt with IS A is not groundbreaking news, it is more of a good reminder to myself. Your learn from your mistakes!
Ok, no idea who the hell she was! Just googled her. Very pretty face.
I’d say I’m mostly TAH too, like 75% TAH, but there’s definitely a part of me that’s fiesty and competitive in a TAL way I think.
Can I be a cocktail? I like cocktails…
