Hey guys, So I’ve been using my newly-bought pheros for two days now, and I havn’t been seeing any results, aside from a nearly overwhelming cologne scent on the second day, which one of my friends remarked on. I was wondering what I could be doing wrong… The first day I used: 1 spray of AMMO, and 1 Spray of Instant Openess on my wrists (and rubbed them together). I also used 1 spray of Instant Shine on my neck. I didn’t really see any results, though the scent was pleasant. The second day, feeling that perhaps I wasn’t getting the desired effect by spraying my wrists, applied: 1 spray of AMMO on chest, 1 Spray of Instant Shine on neck, and 1 Spray of [Instant Female Magic](https://a314.com/product/instant-female-magic/) on my wrists. The two days that I used the products were a friday and a monday, so there was a fair bit of time in between when I wasn’t using any. Now here’s the strange thing, after I arrived at school on monday, the smell from the AMMO was almost overwhelming, and one of my buddies actually asked me what I had been doing that morning. I’m sure that he was thinking that I had sprayed a whole ton of AXE or something on myself 😕 . Now why on Earth was the scent so strong? Was it because I sprayed on my chest, because I know that is where a lot of people on this forum seem to use it… Anyways, I’m new to this whole phero-experience, though I’m hesitant to bump up the number of spray of phero’s I use to gain results, because I don’t want to smell like a 12 year old boy who bathes himself in cheap deoderants! Any help would be much appreciated. By the way, I’m 18 years old, and I’m a fairly outgoing guy, though it’s usually me who initiates conversation, and not those around me (something that would be nice to change). ---

try only using one product at a time for a week, starting off with one shot and gradually increasing per day! Everyone finds thats the best way to test them out and once you learn what one product does then move onto the next and finally start mixing before you jump right in! ---

I agree with Deeds. Start with the [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/), and say hello to a few people and see what happens. Next go with Instant Shine. Those are probably your best bets for starters in a school environment. ---

Alright, I’ll try taking it slow, however, does anyone have any explainations as to why [Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/)’s scent is so strong on me?😕 It was just one spray on my chest… ---

One spray should not be too bad - let it dry down some before you go out. The other issue is that it is a new scent and will be more noticeable especially if you do not normally wear cologne. Once your friends get used to the new scent I bet they will stop commenting. ---

Ah heck with that. One spray is not going to do a thing for you of IShine or IO. Want to see results try 4 sprays of Ishine and 4 of IO and try and get people to shut up around you. You will be the center of attention. Throw two sprays of Ammo and after the Swedish Bikini team gets through with you if you have anything left you can come post about it. ---

I also think it was probably something of a “hit”. If you think about it, the ammo may have felt a little like a challenge to your friend. He commented on it, maybe in a backhanded way, to assert that he knew you were different than you usually are. The scent was the main difference he could perceive so that is what he consciously noticed. [Pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) can be subtle that way. 🙂 Give it a few days. ---
