I really dislike the smell of impi. reminds me of cross between perfume and baby powder. laCroy may know how to make pheromones and mixes, but they don’t know there ass from there elbow when it comes to scents and fragrance covers.
I haven’t tried that yet, but what’s being interpreted by some as a powder scent may be an animal musk.
I know it uses some ancient traditional herbal pre-sex formula from africa.
It was formulated before sex was invented?
lol no…It was some herbal thing taken from some african tribe that put the herbal stuff on them before meeting the women and ultimately having sex. “Impi” meaning warrior.
Oh, it means warrior? Thank god. I thought it meant Impitent. Limpi.
While I actually like their products, I seriously questioned their command of English when they named it. Still do. 
Anyway, it’s probably a good ol’ animal testical extract in there making it smell like that if it’s natural.
its 4 basic pheromones…alphanol, betanol, Anone, Arone
- NPA secret ingredient+ETS 11+ herbal sex juice
None of those explain a powder scent.
Strong powder scents generally indicate animal sourced musks, or a very clever analogue done by a perfumer with petroleum sourced synthetics. Nothing herbal or pheromonal smells overwhelmingly powder-like.
i guess I just can’t describe the smell all that well.
Someone else here described it the same way.
I’d figure, if anything, an African product would be more likely to use a natural animal musk than most. From the way the scent is described, it makes sense.
I mean, what are you going to be do “herbally”? Mix together ginkbo biloba, rosemary and galbanum and get a powder note? Hardly. If it’s a natural formula, that note comes from an animal source. If it’s not “natural” (meaning not “herbal” in this context), there’s many options.
Im quoting what was said to be in Impi by the owner of the website that sells it..what I listed were the actualy ingredients.
I’m telling you what’s actually in it. 
hmm you must know something I don’t.
Oh, you know me… waxing poetic about 4-methyloxacyclopentadec-9-en-2-one and the other “chart topping” musk molecules. Not to mention the “greatest hits” of select powdery nitro musks. These are “notes” the ipod sure as heck can’t play.
i had to use 8 to accomodate the minimum character requirement.
Oust with Instant Shine report
Like I mentionned somewhere else, my order arrived minutes before I left for a getaway weekend! Of course I grabbed the Oust difuser to take along with me!
For those of you who don’t have one yet:
Never having used an “Oust” I was at first a little befuddled as to how to load the dispenser. Mind you, I am super duper non-mechanically oriented! :o But I figured it out. Unscrew the cap from the dispenser - Turn it so that the curve in the bottle matches the curve of the diffuser - Angle it right and push it in there, until it snaps into place. Then turn on the fan-switch in the back.
The three dispensers had a discreet little label on the bottom reading one of these:
- Open
- Hon
- Shine
I thought that was funny. Perfectly clear to us, yet totally meaningless to anyone else!
I was very pleased to see that it is battery operated. (D size and the battery is already loaded.) It allowed me to put it anywhere I wanted to. Having to rely on an outlet would have been a drawback, since that might place the diffuser too far away.
The fan is not only super quiet, it is silent. The only way I could tell if it was on was either to look at it without the dispenser in place, or else hold it to my face to feel the air flow.
I used Instant Shine because I was planning on wearing Instant Openness and Instant Honesty + whatever struck my fancy. I placed the diffuser on the coffee table about 4 feet away from us.
I can honestly report that this is powerful. Much stronger than the mones we wear. The scent reminded me of an aroma therapy scent of Bath and Body Works. Ginger and orange, or something like that. Supposed to make you feel good.
Now, I don’t know about the “makes him appear more youthful”. I just know my guy too well to be swayed by a scent as far as that is concerned. But it definitely had a very soothing effect. It brought a sense of calm over us. Peaceful well-being. Paired with IO + IH it had us talking about Irish history and grandmothers!
Instant Shine in my opinion would be an excellent product to:
- Calm down a person
- Enduce a relaxed conversation (especially with the help of IO and IH)
- Overcome the negative effects of -none?
- Perfect if amped up with something else.
For the sake of completeness I have to add that we were having a couple of glasses of wine. The next afternoon, as we were reading our books, gazing out over the ocean, it put him to sleep. About a half hour after I turned on the fan, he decided he wanted to go take a nap.
So Catlord, if you’re feeling bad because you feel too agitated about something, then yes, I’d agree that Instant Shine is a good product. For people who truly suffer from depression (feeling down in the dumps, no energy etc.) I’d say they need something more “energetic”.
Combo mix for fan
Going back to MHarris’ post # 1 in this thread, I think a combo mix dispenser for the fan would be great.
- IO with IH? (Since those 2 work synergestically anyway)
- IO + IH + IShine?
Actually, I think I would rather see some “party” mixes like Spaceland. IO might be good social gatherings though. IH for more serious meetings, but I might be afraid to use it myself for fear of being “too revealing” myself…
And I probably would opt for low-level concentrations for all of them anyway.
IFM might be a good hit in a girl’s dorm. IShine in a men’s dorm. Or locker rooms…???
Could you see IHonesty in a courtroom or on Capitol Hill??? Holy Cow…
Actually with harmless mixes, I think the higher concentrations are a blast. But yes, at 3-4 ft away the diffuser seemed to overpower what I was wearing myself.
Party-mix - excellent idea!
As far as IH danger of revealing too much ourselves — We have the advantage of knowing what is floating in the air. Surely we do have some control over our own minds and speech?
I just had this vision of a romantic candlelight dinner with an IH diffuser and all of a sudden Rbt frantically stuffs his napkin in his mouth!
LOL
I thought our senses go into overload if we have too much mones in the air and everything shutsdown?
