Hi Ariadne, Thanks for the feedback. “It could have been the [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) your friend was smelling. To me, sometimes it has an “off” smell, but not bad, not overpowering. Or the place could have really just smelled like sweat. 😉” Funny thing is I did not smell anything bad. I didn’t smell anything other than perfume when I sprayed the products…so perhaps after the initial spray maybe the base smell comes through and I am de-sensitized to it ? “I think you should stick to one product right now, to be honest. If you start mixing too many combos, once you start noticing your hits, you may have a tough time isolating which mix is working for you at what dosage, and you will have to go back to the beginning.” I understand what you are saying, but I was trying to test run the product before I had to use it on my date. I didn’t want to use it on my date for the first time and be caught by surprise by any reactions. Did not have that much time. " On your blind dates, I would use either Instant Sexiness, Instant Shine, _or_ MX135, but not all three. To be honest, _I_ would use MX135, simply because I think that is the show stopper." What did you mean by MX135 being a show stopper ? In what way ? “It sounds like you may not be certain what is a hit and what isn’t, however (the boy in the bar was definitely a hit, your bosses singing your praises was a hit) so you could be overlooking the effects the pheros are having on others. You should read [this thread of Tisha’s](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/how-do-i-know-if-i-am-getting-hits/14192) if you have not already. It could help you out a lot in this area!” Thanks…certainly helpful. 🙂 I am not sure what is a hit, mainly because I am using them for the first time… Most of the places that I went to, I don’t usually frequent. So I couldn’t say what kind of reactions I should expect. Even in the work place, I rarely go in as I work from home a lot…so I can’t say I would notice immediate difference in attitude. “Which Instant Sexiness are you using? A or B?” The bottom of the bottle of the Instant Sexiness shows A and strength 1x…so I guess it is A.
