Hello there! I’m a 40yr old male looking to keep my few years younger gf intrigued. I’m gonna order up some instant shine but not sure if it’s worth paying extra for the 2x strength. What do u guys think? Thanks! ---

Hi Pfsnc and welcome to the mone forum! You’ve got some good stuff picked out, the [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) is a great social, starter mone. It’s usually part of my mone applications. I feel a bit more relaxed and others are at ease with me and tell me I look youthful… nice results! I suggest you look the gentleman’s threads, he’s a forum member who is in a similar situation as you describe yourself. Here is his journal: > [@The not so gentlemanly adventures of TheGentleman](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/the-not-so-gentlemanly-adventures-of-thegentleman/40443): > > As suggested in my introduction post I will begin a journal. I received my first shipments in today and this is my stash smiley A314 IG CTTM2 TUTH IJ IS AMMO IO IH I will begin my adventures with finding the sweet spot on these items in a variety of venues at work, home and play. I am excited, and intrigued as I am always when trying anything new. Let the games begin! For getting a deeper sense of connection and communications, I’d suggest you also add IH. I get a feeling from others that they’ve known me for a while, like a long time friend that can have the confidence to open up intimately. Great for LTR. Welcome again and hope to read up on your journal on how these mones helped you out!! 🙂 _Oh, and I’m around your age and I use 2x IS. I did my sweet spot testing, to see how much application of IS gets the best results. Basically, I’m at 2 sprays of regular strength to get some self effects in me and some consistent effects on others. So, since I have IS 2x strength, I only go for 1 spray or 2 at the most. More than that is a waste of mones from what I found in my testing. My journal is on my sig below, the Amazing in a bottle link._ ---

Hi Pfsnc - Welcome to Pherotalk. 🙂 1Alpha has pretty much laid it all out above but I’ll also chip-in to say thay the 2x IS is worthwile as it gives significantly more value for money as you need fewer sprays. Indeed all the socials benefit from 2x. Watch it with the none/sexual pheros though esp as you say your GF is younger - she may respond better to less. You don’t say how old she is. Find your sweet spot with the 1x first. 🙂 A bit more info about yourself and what other aspects you want to influence would also help us advise & will secure your GC. 🙂 ---

Sorry to be to vague. Here is more about me. I’m a 40 yr old male and live in the Midwest, Kentucky. I’m in decent shape and workout a few times per week. My girlfriend is 34 and I’m just looking for any extra edge to keep her attracted to me. I’m relatively new to [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) and am just the typical guy looking to keep the spark/attraction fresh. Hope this helps. I appreciate any advice. Regards, ---

Welcome to the forum. Instant Shine x2 is definitely worth it. It’s the equivalent of two sprays of the regular version and therefore you get more value for your money and also avoid having to use as many sprays. I would also recommend [Turn Up the Heat](https://a314.com/product/turn-up-the-heat-tuth/) and A314. Turn Up the Heat will help with the sexual spark. A314 will give you an alpha, masculine, high status vibe that will help keep her interested and intrigued…even attached. Helps make you seem like a better “catch”. Now A314 can get pricey for the longer lasting oil version but the newly released spray versions are much more affordable if you want to give those a spin first. Just make sure you try each product by itself first so you can see how they each work for you. Good luck. ---
