Why I am Here:
Okay, I will start by saying I have no idea how I even came across this site or why I am sitting here starting a journal about pheromones. I was searching something about cosmetics on You Tube and was somehow led to the world of Pheromomes. I was intrigued, so dug deeper into the subject and somehow ended up buying some to test. I tend to immerse myself in subjects hat interest me, so I was led here by my curiosity.
Who I am:
In my intro post I mentioned I am a married female (am 38, but feel much younger) that has had issues with making female friends of my own age. I have a strong personality and do not have children and currently am not working.
Taking a break from my career for a while. So, part of it has to do with being in a different mental place from other people of my age group. We love to
adventure travel and are in a position to live a more “young” fun lifestyle with lots of toys. I watch my fair share of TV, listen to music (I lean to more edgy, electronic dark music) read and play games, love apps. I sometimes like to sit around and do nothing and other times I have to be on the go. Just depends on my mood. I am always ready for exercise though.
I am 100% Colombian by heritage, but was born in the US. I lived in Colombia
for many years, so am fluent in Spanish. I do not look Colombian, but most people think I am something different, they can’t place what.
I spend my days volunteering and running errands, maintaining the home. I worked since high school and had a very good career in insurance, but left my job in 2010 to oversee a major renovation of our home. This year I am just
chilling and am going into a new business venture with a friend, if things work out…next year.
saw some mention of blood type. I do not know what mine is.
First Order Received 10/18/2011:
I ordered To Go sizes of:
Openess 2x strength - female
Sexiness B -female
Instant Shine 2x strength -female
My FedEx package contained Openess and Sexiness B, but had ammunition for him 2x instead of shine. There was a chocolate piece in there, which someone had mentioned somewhere lol (and just ate). I also received a free sample of a Togo MX423 as a trial. There was a long letter about it included. I am one of 96 receiving it and it contains a main component of Instant Shine, which is good since I did not receive my Shine.
I want to note I noticed the cologne scents as soon as I touched the Fed Ex package. The smell was everywhere and on my hands from just handling the contents inside.
I had some errands to run, so decided to try this out. I am new to pheromones.
I initially had no desire to buy Sexiness B, but became curious since men tend to stay away from me. I get lots of eye contact and the rare hit depending on what I am wearing, makeup, etc. When I get hit on, I get hit on lol, crazy stuff happens during those rare situations.
So, buying this was just for my own personal amusement. I am very married..18 years. So, am not looking for men, but this could be a gold weapon if it does work. Because I am usually left alone, ignored or just stared at, this one mix will make a noticeable difference, if it works for me at all. So, I got it.
I read some journals and forum posts. Even managed to ruffle a few feathers on a post about older people on the site. I commented on how amazed I was that 20 year olds need pheromones, since they are already attractive and people gravitate to youth and beauty in this society. Others pointed out that sometimes it is for respect and to better themselves and so on. Good points, but it was just inteteresting to see the tone of the replies. Nobody is saying don’t use them, just surprised because whwn I was in my 20’s I didn’t need that extra edge and didn’t realize others feel they do when they are so young. All this came about because forum posts seemed to be mostly younger people.
I would have expected older people to seek these out more.
Anyway, I read some posts and tips and so on. But, I am one to just dive right in do my own thing.
I will make my own conclusions.
I mentioned this to my husband and his immediate reaction, as was mine…was this is all snake oil and does not work. So, I just left it alone and ordered my own samples.
October 18:
Sexiness B 2 sprays, wrist & Neck
Openness 2x strength 2 sprays, wrist & behind ears
Today I had errands to run, so sprayed 2 sprays of Sexiness B and 2 sprays of Openeness and noticed the musky smell. These smell more like man’s cologne to me than women’s perfume.
I sprayed these on my wrists and neck and with my fingers rubbed some
behind my ears. This was around 3pm. I also then sprayed some Bath & Body spray on my clothes to soften this musky scent.
I put some light makeup on and casual shorts and long sleeve shirt and my purse. Hair down and brushed. So, casual and nice.

I went to the dry cleaners and two ladies there were nice as usual. I said I wanted to pick up the next day, so they agreed. They said after 5. As I was leaving the owner chased me out the door to tell me again to pick up after 5 tomorrow. That was unusual for her to do and struck me as too much of a fuss to make sure I knew that, but too ambiguous to know if it was a reaction at all.
-
Doggie Daycare to pick up my dogs. There was a customer (woman) and 2 male employees. The woman averted eye contact, was pleasant, but not overly so. The males were very nice, one of them is the manager and is really nice and chatty all the time with me. We always joke and make eye contact. So, wasn’t unsual. We discussed my FB picture and how he loved my new one and went to tell me about some personal things he likes, nothing too personal…just a nugget of information relating to why he liked my new FB picture. The other guy was nice, but nothing extra. Figured this was just customer service, so too ambiguous again.

Grocery Store ran in to pick up a few things…I could have waited until tomorrow, but did it in the name of science to not waste my initial sprays. I did have some unusual behaviors, but too subtle still. Man in aisle made eye contact and said hello and so did another one in another aisle. Highly unusual for me,nobody says anything. Another one looked me up and down in a very obvious way as we were pulling items from the frozen section. That again was unusual for me. Checking out I ran into a female neighbor and we had an unusually long conversation as we waited. Again, she is usually pleasant, but this was more extended.

My building concierge handed me another package when I got home and she went on and on about loving my new look. I changed my hair color. She is always friendly, but she told me this before and it seemed strange she would say it again.

Male neoghbor in elevator asked normal questions about my day and so on. He always makes eye contact…I usually make eye contact with everyone because I am not shy..anyway…he was looking at me a bit more intently, but could have been my hair lol…not everyone has seen it. So, that was a non- reaction.
Self Effects: Just noted that this was a very musky scent, almost the scent of urine to me, but I have a very strong sense of smell and pick up all sorts of things my husband never notices. I hope these are not made with human urine lol. It’s a tangy musky scent, a bit strong. I was in the car a lot during my errands and had a brief sense of friskiness…made me want to listen to Kiss! I have it on my Ipad, but not my go to music LOL…weird, huh? In particular I wanted to listen to Heaven’s on Fire. I can’t believe I am actually noting this.
This whole journal experience is a bit embarrassing to me and hope nobody I actually know ever reads this!
It is now 9pm and I still smell it everywhere!
So, I am not sure I had great and totally noticeable results today. Will try different things and see over the next few days. Did note that 2 sprays of Sexiness and Openess used up half the bottle. I removed the foil wrapper to see how much was left. Either it was not full to begin with or two sprays used up half.
Regarding my missing Shine, I left a vm, email and PM, so hope someone will send me my Shine. I was going to order a new shine with my certificate, but have not received that either, so sent PM to M. to let her know it is missing.
