I think that Annawithmones and Pagodeiro have probably read most of these posts, but, for anyone joining the discussion, let me give some explicit links to relevant P81 and P89 posts from other threads:
It is interesting that a couple of you comment on enhanced taste. I hadn’t noticed that before, but in retrospect I recall eating a couple of astonishingly good burritos while wearing P89. I thought I’d found a really good Mexican restaurant. Maybe it was just the P89!
Pagodeiro thinks that P89 works better with coffee than with cake. I think of P89 as being one of the lower tones (grounded, centered) so the coffee rather than cake resonates in a way that I’m at a loss to explain any better than that.
There seems to be a consensus that P102 enhances the senses. For different people, it seems to be a different sense. Several have noted music or other sounds becoming particularly clear, complex or acute. Others have noticed taste. Food with P89, P102 and perhaps TAF would be an area worth further exploration.
A lot of what has been described, such as the food, the difficulty reading, the easier and focused social interactions, would be consistent with a description of a “here and now” focus, an alertness to the external world. TAA (as in Instant Shine) is something I have generally thought of as providing this kind of attention. Compared to TAA, I beleive P81/P89 is cooler, more grounded and task oriented. If, working for a printer, one’s job were to spot check books by scanning quickly for smeared ink or defective pages, P89 would probably improve one’s performance; whereas, actual reading, which requires more internal processing, is degraded by P89.
I have not noticed the aggressive/fighting effect that Annawithmones has mentioned, nor the “women seem to become a little bit pissed of if i go over 10mcg” effect that Pagodeiro describes. I have, however, settled on 10mcg as being a good dose for myself. Interestingly, Tacitus also recommended 10mcg. I can see where the excessive task orientation, probably at the expense of social niceties, could become irritating in a non-emergency situation, when one was wearing too much P89.
I think of TAF as a dishabituator, as being the pheromone to wear for doing something “again for the first time” or a “second chance to make a good first impression.” It seems that Annawithmones got something of that sort of effect with P81/P89 (and P74, IS) when meeting with her difficult co-worker. It would be interesting to add TAF to the mix in this kind of situation. I think of TAF working at the sensory level (see it again for the first time) and P81/P89 working at the mood level (forget about the past). Sometime within the next month, I can see the opportunity arising for me to try this myself.
I am not ready to say that P81/P89 is necessarily always good for relationships. If you have a particularly warm history with someone, reminiscences should pleasantly colour your current experiences. P81/P89 may blot that out.
