hi all, hope everyone had a good memorial day break. i just got back and am catching up on threads. here’s my review of the 6% spray akuto for anyone who is wondering, and also a light test of p74. **first, how do i feel about the oil akuto?** i love it. i usually don’t get too much into the musk/pine/wood/etc scents; the oil akuto has just the right amount of “that stuff” to smell great and set itself apart from game/neroli without driving me away. i also like oil akuto because it lingers, probably because it is oil based. i can put it on sometime in the morning, notice it smelling fresh throughout the day and night, and still have an afterscent the next morning, great for when my gf wakes up next to me. **now what about spray akuto?** _if oil akuto is “a gentleman” or “business suit and power tie,” then spray akuto is “rich elegance” or “polo, linen shorts, and boat shoes.”_ the primary thing i noticed right off the bat is that spray akuto gives off a different vibe than oil akuto. i have used and can picture oil akuto in situations where you want to command respect or maintain a greater presence. spray akuto takes that one step further, or at least in another direction. spray akuto is what i picture a man wearing when he has made it – a successful life, no matter how you define that, reached his goals, raised his family well, moving on to enjoy the finer things in life. spray akuto also has an elegant vibe to it, one that is usually associated with wealth. as you will read later on in my test, the first time i used it was with my gf on a lunch/ice cream date in a very nice part of town, and i can say the scent just fit right in. neroli wouldn’t quite cut it, game maybe would be ok if it was dinner and dancing but still wouldn’t really fit in, and oil akuto is more “business lunch” elegant than “i own a boat” elegant. if you are congruent with spray akuto, whether naturally or through practice, you will command a lot of respect and attention. as for the scent itself, the initial blast is stronger than the oil. definitely a base note of akuto, no mistake there. i think because it comes out as a spray, the scent is a bit more open and thus a bit “spicier” than the oil. it’s like if you took akuto and gave it some heat, warm it up a bit so that it kinda tingles your nose. the spray lasts for a while too; i’m extrapolating here slightly since i tested on a really hot day but maybe 5 hours on the main spray, definitely some residual scent throughout the night, and quite possibly some the next morning too. it isn’t too different dry than it is wet. **this is best suited for…** think high respect/status mixes, confidence, if you are pursuing a woman who is seeking a higher grade of man, if you are going to a place where you need to be a higher grade of man, or maybe just throw it in randomly to give your sig-other’s nose a surprise. obviously ptives you can customize the scent but you can also layer this on top of mx292, mx272, mx200, possibly even with tuth or ammo as a nice top note. i guess you could also pair it with the oil akuto but that would depend on how different you think those two messages are; i personally don’t think i would do that. **p74 test** can’t find my report template now so i’m just gonna shotgun it. showered fresh 2 sprays p74, akuto scent, 10 mcg (20 mcg total), front neck 12pm nice shorts, fresh polo shirt, nice sandals. i was testing p74 blind but i wanted to dress the part of spray akuto, plus we were going somewhere nice. **self effects** i dig the scent and definitely got an uplifting scent self-effect. walked around feeling like a million bucks. haven’t had one of these probably since the early days when pheros were still new to me. it was like a nice cycle – smell good, feel good; feel good, act great; act great + walk around a nice area = you’re on top of the world. smiles and nods all around, waiters are friendly, passersby check to see if they know us from a movie or something. very nice. i’ll repeat this later on but we seemed to have one of those good conversations where you talk quietly, hush your laughs, etc. free chatting, reading the other person’s mind, laughing but keeping a cool. it’s like cttm + a314. **effects to others** biggest effect was probably to my gf since she was around it for the longest. first was the scent effect. for a “look nice” day like today she expects game or maybe a top-off with one of my colognes. here i come walking out with spray akuto. i saw in her face the exact moment she smelled the new scent. it was first a confused look like “whoa, are my allergies acting up again?” and then it turned into almost a smirk, like “there goes my bf with one of his new scents, let’s see how yummy this one is.” she’s pretty good at reading me and catching my sigs so when she saw i was feeling the “elegant” vibe from this, she played it up completely. she was wearing a new sundress and looked great. as the day went on, it’s as if the sundress turned into a cocktail dress. she carried herself well and was a perfect match for how i was feeling. note that these first two paragraphs are about the scent effect only. i think we both felt the actual effects at the same time, or we built off each other. nothing much happened for the first 20 minutes or so, then partly through lunch we changed our tone from a normal conversation to one you would expect to overhear from an older, established couple. softer voices, hearty but hushed laughs, lots of knee/arm/thigh touching, use of the word sweetheart/dear/honey/darling/etc. we were both feeling great but we didn’t act like a “mx203 + mx272 + mx200” feeling great; it seemed more reserved. **duration of effects** the whole time we were together except for those 20 minutes at the start. **conclusion of test** i seem to get a social vibe from p74, very much like cttm, good mix of a and b nols. i noticed more kino too, don’t know what could’ve caused that. didn’t really notice anything with status or aggression, it’s a friendly and outgoing vibe (but not party animal). also didn’t notice anything too sexual but with the good social and kino aspects, it’s a simple stringing together of the right words to make this sexual. i’m fairly excited to test this more. ---

Fantastic report! I’m a huge fan of the [Akuto](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/akuto/) scent and I think you nailed the description better than I ever could have. Thanks! ---

3.5s p74 front neck, forearms (meant to get 3s, trigger finger kinda twitched on the end) 10mcg each = ~35 mcg total very social, uplifting, i pretty much spaced out. i was waiting to turn left and there was a gap between traffic where i could’ve easily made it; didn’t even see it. another gap, i just sat there. it’s not a “tripping on drugs” spaced out, more like i didn’t have the urge to push through that gap, i would rather wait for the traffic to cease completely. i can kinda see where the charisma aspect of this comes in. it’s as if p74 helps things glide along. fairly hard to describe in words. for example, while sitting in traffic, i was very laid back and not eager to hit the gaps. a passenger would’ve thought “hmm, this guy is pretty easy going, not rushed by the pace of life.” throw in a nice personality and you can get the charisma vibe. ---

I ordered [P74](https://a314.com/product/p74/) recently and so far that’s how i’ve found it as well. It makes me very comfortable and chilled out - kind of how I feel relaxing on the couch after a long day at work, except that I stay sociable. So far I’ve been dosing around the 30 mcg’s mark too… ---
