i have never tried EST on its own 
P74, because i used it alone, was pretty raw.
it was sharp in that there is no doubt i was affected; nebulous in the way that it caused many different reactions, and i cant honestly say it was just like anything i have tried.
it is something extremely upbeat in sweet doses.
so,alphanol in that respect;
but alphanol is dreamy and buzzy… this was a caffeinated version of that.
i personally didnt get an empathy vibe.
i cant stress how people seemed to behave as if they knew me but couldnt place me. maybe a nonconnected colder empathy vibe?
