brasileira I echo the sentiments of the gentleman above. Lovely to have you in the forum. Please do join us in the women’s forum to begin a journal and share your experiences.
A journal helps you to be able to keep track of different things that work, reactions they have as well as how you react to them. There isn’t a required format for a journal, just providing the feedback really helps the research, but I’m adding a few links that show the type of information that is most useful especially for the people that are making the mones for us.
I can’t find the other link so I am just going to paste the bit below…it doesn’t have to be exact…I say again. Every little bit helps them make us a better product.
What Should My Reports Include?
(Yeah, you can Copy & Paste these Q’s to your report. Go ahead. That’s why we wrote 'em.)
First Impressions: Spray. Let dry. Sniff. What are your first impressions? Does the smell remind you of anything? What do you notice yourself feeling?
Dosage & Application Points: What dosage are you using? Where are you spraying?
Most Appropriate Environment: Is this a social mix? Work-friendly? Could you wear it to church? Around your grandmother? Around your F-buddy?
Types of Effects: Explain what types of effects you experienced. Did these experiences happen multiple times?
Strength: How strong did you feel the effects? On yourself? On others? Did it hit you over the head, or was it more subtle?
Length of Effects: When did you notice the onset of effects? When did you notice the outset? When did it peak? When did it wane?
Tenacity: Tenacity refers to “staying power”, or the aggressiveness of the cologne. Does it seem to “attack” people around you, or is it more of a “slow burner”? Does it seem like you can point your fume in one direction or another?
Effectiveness & Consistency: How effective is this mix on a scale of 1-10 (1 dud, 10 HELL YES)? Have its effects been consistent over time?
Diffusion/Sillage: Sillage refers to your “vapor trail”. Think of it like the wake of a ship. How many feet/meters is your vapor trail? Do people seem to follow your sillage?
Other weird questions that help clarify effects:
If it were music, what would it sound like?
If it had a texture, what would it feel like?
If it were edible or drinkable, what would it taste like?
>> What celebrity or public figure is it most like? (this is a good question!)
Ask yourself these questions during and after you’ve gotten a good feel of this mix.
