I am not getting any results from IShine. I have used anywhere from 1 to 4 sprays and am not noticing any change. Any thoughts. I am 39 yrs old.
Thanks.
No prob bob.
Squeeze that pump a few more times.
I have Shine4x and some times use 4-5 pumps.
I use Shine1x when i don’t want effects and need a carrier/buffer for A314. Besides, i just like the smell.
So you are suggesting for me to use IS 1x for 16 sprays? Since you use 4x at 4-5 sprays, wouldn’t this be equal. Obviously is too much. But even when I use 4 sprays of 1x, I feel like smells so strong that i reak of it for hours. If I were to use more, wouldnt others be thinking, “that guy took a bath in his cologne”?
Neroli doesn’t smell to strong to others. Although 16 sprays seems a waste considering you get about 200 per bottle, I wouldn’t want to go through 16 sprays a day. Having said that the sweet spot for Instant Shine is usually pretty high for most people and if your anything like me you won’t see blatant self effects are hits from other people straght away. Before going to 16 sprays I recommend sticking somewhere between 4 and 6 sprays and just being more observant of yourself and others. Instant Shine puts a huge grin on my face although at first I had no idea it was even there becuase I didn’t particuallry feel anymore happy.
Why wont I see blatant self effects or hits from other people straight away? Why does it take awhile? Also, how does this sound…one spray to each wrist and rub behind ears and down neck, one spray on chest, and one spray on hair?
Brick, that sounds good with regards to where and how much. I usually use 3-6 sprays. The effects seem to diminish about half-way thru the day, so I usually re-apply in the afternoon.
Some hits are so blatantly obvious that it makes you laugh. However, some “hits” may be hard to see, especially if you’re not looking for them or the self-effects, or paying attention to body language of those around you. And some “hits” may not be blatantly unusual but more like “enhanced” (subtly exaggerated) reactions than those that you usually get.
Let me explain, if you’re a really up-beat person normally and you are with a group of friends who you usually have a fun, talkative interaction with, then the effects of the Shine itself may be harder to spot. However, if you watch closely to find the consistencies of people’s behavior, you’ll start seeing those “hits”. For instance, when wearing Shine, you may notice that people may crowd your personal space more because they want to be nearer to you. You may find yourself consistently in a better mood, or those around you. You may find that people direct the conversation to you more, or seek your input more often.
“Hits” will be different for each pheromone, of course. You may find that people talk about more personal issues with you when you wear Instant Honesty. You may find they talk more “conspiratorially” with you (soft voice so that only you can hear, holds hand close to mouth to hide what’s being said), talk more than usual, more thoroughly discuss something that would normally only result in a remark or two. I find that whenever I wear Instant Honesty at work, people tend to come in and sit down to discuss something rather than poke their head thru the door and just make a comment or two. I probably wouldn’t have noticed the subtle changes but for the fact that I was LOOKING for them.
Probably the best test “subjects” are those who you are the most familiar with in how they act on a daily basis to different situations. However, on one hand, hits from these people may also be the hardest to spot since they already have a certain level of comfort and rapport with you. On the other hand, they may also provide the most blatant hits because they are used to your natural phero signature and may sense that “something’s” different about you and may need time to adjust to the new you.
Although the blatant hits are by far the most exciting, don’t discount the “enhancing” factor that pheros can play also. Combined together and over time, these “enhancements” can have a powerful effect on your life. I can honestly say, that since using pheros, my self-esteem and confidence have gone thru the roof. However, I can’t pinpoint it to one specific “hit” but rather it’s been a culmination of increased and improved reactions and responses from others that have affected the way that I feel about myself and the way that I interact with them.
So 3-6 Sprays of the IS (1x)? I seemed to have the best results with only 2 sprays. Far less than everybody recommends. I also have Ammo. Any thoughts about combining and dose?
River, that was a great post. Reps.
Brick - I had great results with 2x sprays right off the hop - I happen to be one of the lucky one’s who gets self-effects from shine (however that did include the crash when it wore off.. phew thats gone)
Take what River said into consideration… when I first started using Phero’s my most startling “hits” were from a friend/co-worker who would consistently spend more time at my desk when I was wearing phero’s… Not obvious on a day to day basis… but when I looked back over a period of time the “holy shit this stuff works” light came on - Almost every single day I used (Shine/A314) I commented in my journal about him spending an unusual amount of time at my desk… or not leaving after I had turned away
No you dont need 16 sprays.
First go to “What pheromones can do and what they cant do” its in the links in my signature below.
Next we need to know exactly how you used it. Where did you apply it ?
How much did you apply ? What environment did you use it in ? How many times have you tried them ? What kind of effects where you looking for ?
Mones do not always create blatant hits. They are subtle in nature and they are subtle synthetically. It can take a little practice to get it right.

You may also want to read the link in Tisha’s signature "How Do I know if I’m getting hits"…
If you’re seeing the best results from 2 sprays, then by all means, use 2 sprays. Don’t be afraid to keep experimenting though but if you find that you don’t get any different or additional hits with more than that, then keep it at 2. Everyone is different because everyone’s horomone signatures are different. What works for some, may not work for others. Some get self-effects, some don’t. Just find what works for you and use that as your “base” dosage. You can always use more or less, but at least at 2 sprays, you know what you’re gonna get.
As for combining, try the Ammo separately too so you know what it can do by itself and so that you can find your “base” dosage. THEN try a combo together. You may need to tweak your number of sprays because you may get slightly different reactions when using a combo than when used separately, but at least you’ll have a “base” to start from.
Thanks for the reps Wildflower!!!
Aaah er,ah - no.
Actually i was saying that you can take a few more pumps with no worries.
Step it up gradually.
Don’t follow mee. I’m lost.

OoohYahhh
TAA kicks IS’ ass in terms of blatant hits lol
i just recently started testing TAA at 40mcg per spray. and man it packs a PUNCH! in fact it was so powerful that i got a headache after wearing more than 3 sprays (1 neck, 2 wrist) but dang at those dosages (120mcg+) u start seeing obvious hits like people eye’s lighting up when they see u, wanting to be close to u, focusing on u during conversations and lots of laughing at any lame jokes u say. it’s like the effects of IO, IFM and TAC combined lol.
now if only the headaches’d go away faster.
I remember the few times I tried Instant Shine to-go. I realised the change afterwards. Slight change though.
Not as quickly visible as EO A314 or TUTH.
I totally agree i Like TAA so much better, the one bad thing I found about TAA is it does not last anywhere as long as Instant Shine, my guess is they put something in Instant Shine to make it last longer but at the same time it diminishes the effect
agreed. i feel like it lasts for about 1 1/2 hr. needs constant refreshing.
so how many sprays of IS 1x would give the equivalent of 40 mcg of TAA?
