Observations and Reactions

Field Reports & Anecdotal Experience Women's Journals

I am frustrated with MX135, 235, 335, because I had high hopes for it, given all the rave reviews it has received. I have all three of them, and second of the MX235 that is unopened. But I guess I’m just not a TAH girl, because these mixes all leave me feeling irritable and invisible. I do not get good reactions from my husband or any other men that I am regularly in the company of, and I guess it’s time to realize that it’s just not going to work for me, no matter what I mix it with.

So I’m bidding them adieu for the time being. Time to test out other things.

I did have a funny incident while wearing 1 spray each of MX135 and MX235. Yes, I realize that they’re essentially the same product, the difference being scent packages. I was trying for a chocolate cookie scent, by layering the chocolatini and cookie scents. It smelled sweetly chocolatey, but not exactly yummy.

I was in the grocery store, and when I checked out the cashier said to me, ‘You’re going to think I’m crazy, but you smell like Christmas.’
Hello? Christmas? It’s August.
I asked her if she meant traditional Christmas scents, like cinnamon and pine, because I wear essential oils, or EO based perfume from time to time. She said it was a Christmas smell but it wasn’t piney. Maybe it wasn’t me after all, she said.

I stuck out my wrist and asked her to smell me. She sniffed, clapped her hands over her mouth and said, ‘It is you! You smell just like Christmas at my grandma’s house when I was a little girl!’
The closest thing I can figure is that her grandmother made a lot of homemade cookies and she is associating that with the vanilla and chocolate scents I had on.

A little later that day I cornered two men that I know and asked them to smell me, to see if I smelled like Christmas to them. One said no, but it was a nice scent.
The other one sniffed, looked at me confusedly, sniffed again and asked if it was a trick. He thought I had smeared frosting on my wrist. I just laughed and offered him to have a taste if he didn’t believe me that it wasn’t frosting.
He kind of stared hard with a glazed expression, sniffed again, and smiled. At this point he remembered that he is married, and so am I, and we were in the company of other people. But he kept coming back, several times in a couple of hours, to talk about my perfume. He said it didn’t smell like Christmas, it just smelled tasty. LOL

Since I’m having such crummy luck with these MX’s maybe I’ll just put the MX135 and 235 together in a separate bottle and give it to that cashier. Then she can take a nostalgic walk down memory lane whenever she wants to. :slight_smile:

Today I was determined to try out TUTH with the hubby. Something as good as this deserves to be used as often as possible.

Today I wore
Product:EOW
Application: 6 drops in the hollow of my throat
Cover: Rain by Terranova (oil)

I applied the EOW right after my shower this morning, and hung around in my bathroom for fifteen minutes, fooling with my hair and whatnot, waiting for the dry down. After about two minutes I happened to glance at my neck in the mirror, and discovered that I had a bright red blotch in the place where I had applied EOW, and it was exactly the same shape as the application I had made on my skin. It was obviously caused by the EOW.

I can’t quite figure out what happened. I have used this stuff many times, and have not had this reaction before. I hope I haven’t developed a sensitivity. Hopefully it’s just a matter of my pores being very open, since I had just left a hot shower. That could have made my skin more sensitive, I guess.

This red blotch lasted for 2 and a half hours before it started to fade, and wasn’t completely gone for almost 3 and a half. The good news is that it didn’t hurt or itch, or anything like that. But I don’t think I’ll be putting EOW on skin that shows for a while, try it out again in hidden places to see about reactions. I usually wear it in the cleavage area, and would not be checking there or noticing it in the mirror.

Anyway, hubby did not show me much reaction today, but we were extremely busy. We started tearing out a bathroom floor, and then took a break to host his mother for dinner, then back to working in the bathroom. However, when the day wound down and we put the kids to bed he started to show reactions to the EOW. Affectionate, lots of kisses, growing more demanding and insistent. I went to wash up and took that opportunity to dab some TUTH under my nose

Product: TUTH
Application: Two dabs from the end of the tube

I started to get tensed up because I knew what was coming. I expected a shivery desire, a trembling anticipation, an intense arousal. Instead I got…nothing.

Not to be put off, I went out and sat with the hubby, and we kissed and played around a little. Still nothing. If anything I’m less interested that I was before the TUTH. He seems to be driven, hungry. But I feel disconnected, uninterested, rather go read a book.

WHAT HAPPENED??

Did I suffer a -none buildup under my nose? I have run three self-tests within four days, I think and now this fourth application. Or maybe like Instant Shine, I’m just not noticing the effects to myself strongly anymore? Hardly seems likely with androstenone, but I really have no idea, or any experience to draw on. I’d love to hear what you all think.

Disappointing story, huh?
Last night wasn’t disappointing. I ended up tied to the bed frame and hubby cut my shirt off of me with a Ka-Bar. :open_mouth: :smiley::smiley::smiley: And all without a sniff of pheros anywhere. Go figure.

103

Hey Moonwhisper, is it possible that you were ovulating when the androstenone had more of an effect on you the other day? Some people have reported that androstenone has different effects on women at different points in their menstrual cycle.

Maybe you did get some tolerance to androstenone. I would think that two dabs under the nose is quite an exposure. I think 2 dabs on a guy might effect some women a couple of feet away. But if the dabs are right under your nose, you are breathing in exponentially more molecules of androstenone.

Maybe you were exposing yourself to too many androstenone molecules. Perhaps you should try one dab on the neck instead of 2 dabs under the nose. One dab on the neck will surely expose you to plenty of androstenone molecules.

104

Metaltree could be right: with androstenone you can get a “ghosting” effect on an OD, perhaps you “ghosted” yourself?

105

Thanks, guys, for the input. I appreciate it.

I sure wish Diane was still here.
She would know exactly what happened, I’m sure.

Well, obviously that was too much -none, or at least too often.

106

A while back I tried out a test of TAK with my little ones. I was desperately needing them to take a nap, because I was exhausted that day, and exceedingly busy. I had tested out TAK pretty extensively myself, and was confident that they would come to no harm, and this is what happened:

Child A is 4.5 yrs old, and weighs 36 lbs.
Child B is 3 yrs old and weighs 38 lbs.
Just for all of you who like to keep it technical. :slight_smile:

Half an hour before naptime I sprayed each of their pillowcases with TAK, 25mcg each.
Child B also received to her pillow 1 spray of Instant Shine.

When I put them to bed I observed how they reacted to the pheros.
Child A quietly laid there on her bed, on her back, playing with her dolly and singing to it. She seemed content to be in bed, which is not normal, but did not sleep.

Child B laid on her tummy, and was very still. She laid as if pasted there and didn’t fuss or flop around as she often does at naptime. I got a little worried, and checked on her, but her breathing was normal, even and deep. She slept 1 hour, and woke up very sweaty. Her shirt was damp and I had to give her a bath.

Interesting, and maybe informative to other mothers who get desperate for some quiet.
I don’t know if I would do it again, I felt kinda funny about using pheros to induce sleep.
I dont know why, I don’t feel funny using pheros to induce a good mood in the same children.

107

Product: Instant Honesty
Application: 3 sprays, to back of neck and hair
Product: Instant Shine
Application: 4 sprays, 2x strength, to neck, chest, wrists, forearms
Self Effects: Content and happy, not concerned about anything
Environment: indoors, room @ 500 square feet

Effect on others: This was a social group of just women. I wanted to leave off all of the sexy stuff, because I feel like I have grown apart from a couple of these ladies that are dear to me, and I didn’t want anything to be off-putting during this gathering. So I loaded up on the feel good stuff, and the relax and talk to me.

I thought about using Spaceland, but I still can’t wrap myself around that smell. I have a hard time using anything I’m not wholehearted about, because I’m tense and self-conscious, and I think that negates a lot of the effects.
(This is completely unrelated, but last week I bought a new computer desk, and the damn thing smelled like clary sage. I almost returned it, but the smell was not overpowering, and it wore off after about a week. Ugghh.)

So we got together around six pm, expecting to spend a couple of hours, just eating, talking… you know. We had a great time, lots of laughs, but nothing of note, just happy girls. At about eight people started drifting away, and by 8:30 there were just three of us left. Pheros are now three hours old.

The discussion turns a sharp corner, and one poor woman starts telling us about her home situation, which is awful, as she has an elderly relative who is ill and unable to care for his own personal needs. He has suffered from several health matters, and now is incontinent and belligerent and verbally abusive…it’s just too sad. Being the primary caregiver, this poor lady is exhausted and emotionally drained, and it all just came pouring out of her.

Every so often she would put a hand over her mouth and say, “I didn’t just say that.”
She is normally much more reticent and does not easily share her private life. Instant Honesty was at the base of it, I’m sure.

This was not the only incident of IH doing it’s thing…we didn’t separate and go home until almost midnight, after over 5 hours of conversation. That surprised me, in a good way. I didn’t mind being tired the next day because I got to re-connect with these two wonderful women.

The social products sometimes get overlooked because people are looking for sexually charged mixes, and slathering on the -none and cops. That is wonderful stuff, but there are times when the socials work so much better. I love Instant Honesty, but next time I’m buying 4x strength, so I don’t have to spray so much.

Today was a nerve wracking day for me. It was my first attempt at singing in front of a crowd.

I am a very shy person by nature. I have learned to overcome it, to the point that even my best friends believe me to be naturally outgoing and buoyant, and it’s hard to remember back to the days when I let the shyness rule me. But it still has a strong hold on me in some areas, and one of them is public speaking. I have no problem with acting, and being on stage, as long as I’m not addressing the crowd directly. This singing thing was somewhere in between and I just couldn’t get comfortable with it.

So my nerves are jangled. Badly.
But I’ve given my daughter my word that we would sing this duet.
And I do not break my word. Ever. Especially not to my child.
Then she asked me to perform it a capella.

Out comes the Instant Shine. This stuff is so good for smoothing over the nervous jitters.
Product: Instant Shine
Application: 4 sprays, 2x strength, to wrists, forearms, neck, chest

I did not get any spectacular rush of euphoria. I’m over that with the Shine.
I’d like to tell you that my nerves calmed down and I was fine, but the truth was I was still a little rattled. But it was better.
We did the song. I had one verse solo, then she had one, then we joined together for the remainder. Starting that thing up with no musical accompaniment was very difficult. But it went off without a hitch, we harmonized well, finished to rousing applause, and later my husband was the only one who said he could hear a nervous warble in my voice.

Of course, now I’ve opened a can of worms, because people are clamoring for more.
What have I done? :open_mouth:

109

Aauughh! I hate it when you’re almost done typing your post, then one wrong keystroke sends it off to la-la land. Now I don’t even feel like typing it all out again.

Here’s a brief synopsis:
I got some A314 in the mail yesterday, primarily for the husband to use. But I haven’t told him about it yet, and I wanted to try it out myself, too.

Product: A314
Application: half a drop, to jawline
Environment: indoors, temp @80 F, room @ 250 sq. ft.

Self-effects: None at first, although I was rather overpowered by the smell of it. It is masculine, but not as much as I’d thought it would be. What is that scent, anyway? I’ll have to find out.

My skin felt warm where I had applied the A314, sort of tingly. I didn’t notice any of the usual ‘new phero’ physical symptoms, such as headache, euphoria, muzzy head, or anything else like that.

Once I started to just go about my business, without thinking about the A314, is when I started to notice something interesting. I found myself looking around, behind me, over my shoulder…looking for whomever had that ‘presence.’
I felt as if there was someone in the room who was drawing my attention, although there was not (I was home with just my children). But I kept having the sensation that there was an interesting, powerful, sexy man in the room who was just out of sight, and who I wanted to check out. And I found myself looking over my left shoulder several times. The A314 was applied to the jawline on the left side.

After a while I started getting creeped out about looking for someone who wasn’t there, and washed the stuff off. So I have no idea how long the effects would have lasted normally, or if they would have mellowed out in time. I will try this again, but not near my face. Wrists, probably. Or maybe just one wrist, so I can see if I’m looking for someone on just that side again. :slight_smile:

Duration: an hour and a half.

110

Ahaha. La-la land :smiley:

111

Moon sweetie… I love your openness… because this :

“Disappointing story, huh?
Last night wasn’t disappointing. I ended up tied to the bed frame and hubby cut my shirt off of me with a Ka-Bar. :open_mouth: :smiley::smiley::smiley: And all without a sniff of pheros anywhere. Go figure”

Made my day…

112

Wow, this is a pretty amazing report on the power of A314 from a woman’s perspective. I wonder if 1/2 drop to the jaw would be equivalent to several drops a few feet away. I’ve never put on more than 3 drops but I’m tempted to try more the next time I go out.

113

Ha ha! I am running out of shirts.

114

Let 'er rip MetalTree! And please tell what you find out. I’m glad now that I hadn’t tried a whole drop. I might have been chasing myself around in circles, looking for that scrumptious man I couldn’t find! LOL

My interest in this was piqued by SillyKitty’s journal about her experiences with A314. But I don’t know if I’ll ever find myself wearing as much as she did. Speaking of SillyKitty, I haven’t seen her around her for quite a while? Hope she’s doing well…wonder what happened?

115

I’m starting to mix stuff up, instead of layering, just to see the different effects.

In a clean 5 ml bottle I mixed

10 sprays Instant Sexiness A
10 sprays Instant Shine
40 mcg Meo-Est
40 mcg TAF

I have been wearing three to-go size sprays at a time. With this mix I was going for a friendly, cheerful sexy vibe, but focused.
What I got was a friendly confident vibe that made others feel welcome and comfortable. I did stay more focused, but not intently so. I seemed to be more aware of the little things going on, the stuff around the fringes of my vision. I also found myself blurting out things I ordinarily wouldn’t have said.

For instance, one of my daughters friends tapped me on the forehead with a microphone, right before a performance. I turned around and told him that if he did it again I would spank him. LOL
This in front of my husband, and that poor kid’s father! He is only 16.
I then turned to his dad and asked for permission to do so.
What came over me??

So this mix could lead to a lot of fun, or it could get me in a whole lot of trouble.

I also wore this mix (3 sprays) to a carnival. I am a lover of scary rides, but this made me more focused on the unsettling sensations in my stomach. It was still fun, but I was more worried about getting sick, which I never was before.
It also amplified the sensations from the ride itself, exhilaration, excitement, etc.

More testing…

116

Great report! :slight_smile: Sounds like this mix lowers inhibitions like alcohol does without the negative effects of intoxication!

I wonder if a tolerance would build up to this combo if used regularly.

117

I’m not sure about a tolerance. I haven’t been using it that long, just about a week.
But I don’t see these sorts of effects every time, maybe about half the time. It might be that the situations don’t lend themselves to that sort of interaction at other times.

I am frustrated as all get out with TUTH.
I had such intense reactions to it at first, but after that initial try-out period I seem to have NO reactions to it. No turn on, no arousal, no physical responses, no moodiness or iritability. I so wanted this stuff to work its magic on me. :frowning:

I understand about responding more intensely at ovulation. I have used it at every stage of my cycle to gauge the reactions I might have. Each time I have no noticeable effects. Has anyone else ever had an experience like this with TUTH?

118

Today the hubby and I, along with the help of one friend, tore down an old shed on a friend’s property, so that we could salvage the materials and haul them away to our own place. We did this the old fashioned way, with sledgehammers and crowbars. It was loads of fun, and we got very sweaty and dirty. I am now very sore in the upper arms and lower back.
Massage, please. :slight_smile:

Anyhoo, before we set out this morning, I applied 3 sprays IS/a. All by itself, without any copulins or anything else to keep it company.
And I was reminded again of how amazing and magical that stuff is.

All day long we worked like dogs. But we had so much fun, and everyone was very lighthearted and cheery in their interactions.

And, as often happens when I work with a bunch guys, the conversations took on a certain sexual nuance and innuendo. Often blatant, sometimes subtle, but always present. In the jokes, in the looks, in the contact. In the extra long skin contact during little things like handing someone a hammer. In the eyes that linger too long. In the smiles that start out slow and end up crooked. I have worked on a lot of crews, doing all sort of manual labor, and I cannot remember a time when there wasn’t a sexual element to all the conversations. I never was sure if it was because I was there, or if that’s just how it is. Do you talk to each other this way when there is no woman on the crew??

I’m amazed at what I can get away with when hubby is under the influence of my pheromony deliciousness. I was trying to get his friend to something one way, and he wanted to do it another way. I finally looked him in the eye, and said, “Don’t struggle, just obey. I’m actually very fun to obey.”

HUH?? Where did that come from? lol
He did not question me anymore, just did it my way. And for about an hour I kept catching him watching me, with a little wolfish grin on his face. :roll_eyes:

119

Interesting!

Product: A314
Application: 1/2 drop split between wrists

It took me a little while to warm up to trying A314 again.
First of all, it smells masculine to me, and that sort of turns me off. I don’t want to smell like a lily all the time, but I dont really want to smell like a man, either.
And then there was the incident with the invisible person that I couldn’t stop looking for. Ha! So I didn’t use it again for a while.

I wore some the other day, 1/2 drop split between my wrists. No more putting it on the jawline, that was just too close to my nose.
The word that kept coming up over and over again in my notes of that evening was ‘poised.’ I felt poised for action, ready to spring or meet a challenge. I also felt that I had extraordinary poise, as in personal carriage and demeanor. More alert, and confident in my own value. I did not once look for validation from an external source that whole evening. Admiring glances and compliments meant nothing to me. Huh, imagine that.

I also felt very sympathetic to others, in a word, magnanimous.

I did not notice any effects to others, and seemed to interact with them on the same plane as before.

I do seem to get an unusual self-effect from A314. It makes my sinus passages very warm, they feel dry as if the air was unusually dry. The air around my face seems to glow with warmth. It is the same dry, hot feeling I get if I sit too close to a fireplace or woodstove.
