My introduction is [here](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/newbie-ready-to-experiment/52237) Today was my first day. **Weather:** Mostly overcast, breezy, high around 70-ish degrees **Pre-mone mood:** normal, sort of excited about trying out my new stuff **What:** [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) version 1.1, Strength 2x. **Where & When:** - 1 spray on the wrist, wrists rubbed together in the morning - 1 spray on neck after arriving at work after the commute - 2 sprays on neck at the end of work day, before evening commute \*\*Effects: \*\* I was complimented on my sweater by the lady taking orders in the line at Starbucks…but it’s a really cute sweater and I always get compliments on it when I wear it. A co-worker and I were chatty today, but we tend to get silly and chatty sometimes, so I can’t say it had anything to do with the spray. I didn’t feel any different from how I normally do during a decent day at work. So…nothing out of the ordinary to report. **Thoughts:** I like the way the product smells, but it’s a tad masculine to my nose. I’m contemplating a phero-baptism tomorrow with IO, IH, IS, and IS/b, just to see what happens on my morning commute. IS/b to be reapplied before my date tomorrow night. ---

Oh man, I’m so behind on my reporting. I’ll put the days into different posts. Friday, Sept 9 **Weather:** Mostly overcast, a bit drizzly, breezy, high around 70-ish degrees **Pre-mone mood:** normal, mentally a bit preoccupied with a bunch of stuff I needed to get done over the weekend **What:** Phero-baptism: Almost everything I own lol Instant Shine version 1.1, Strength 2x. Instant Honesty version 1.1, strength 2x Instant Sexiness version 1.2b [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) version 1.0, strength 2x **Morning:** - 1 spray each of openness and honesty on the wrist, wrists rubbed together - 2 sprays of shine on neck - 1 spray sexiness on neck **Effects:** Nothing out of the ordinary on the commute to work. I didn’t reapply anything upon getting to work Later, during a meeting I was leading, I noticed my coworkers being especially candid about their feelings about one of our higher ups 😃 Now, that’s not to say they people around my office aren’t usually candid about their feelings (LOL), but it just seemed like it was EVERYBODY. I was with 5 other people in a room for about 90 minutes. **Evening:** I completely repeated my entire morning baptism, plus extra sexiness lol. The extra sexiness included an extra spray on the _back_ of my neck and one in my hair. **Effects:** Whoa 😮 Dude was all over me lol Not uncomfortably so, but there was definitely a different energy. And he was all over my neck and kept sniffing my hair. Again with the caveats: Our first two dates were earlier in the day and more “tame”–no kissing, etc. This date involved “nightlife,” as in we met at 10pm and went to 3 different bars/lounges and danced and had adult beverages. I’m not much of a drinker, but he did drink more than me. So the caveat is that I don’t now how much of it was him feeling uninhibited due to alcohol and how much was due to me spraying myself down with magic before I left the house. ---

Monday, Sept 12 **Weather:** Warm, clear, high around 80-something **Pre-[pheromone](https://pheromonelabs.com/) mood:** normal Monday stress, preparing for a study at work that started on Tuesday **What:** IShine IOpenness IHonesty ISexiness b **Morning:** - 2 sprays each of openness and honesty on the wrist, wrists rubbed together - 2 sprays of shine on neck **Effects:** I felt in a better mood once the day got started, compared to when I first got up and was fretting about work projects. It’s really hard to tell if thing are having an effect on my immediate teammates at work because we’re pretty friendly and talkative anyway. Inconclusive. **Evening:** - 3 sprays each of openness and honesty on the wrist, wrists rubbed together - 1 spray of IS/b on neck, 1 on hair **Effects:** I went out with the guy from Friday again. It was a low-key meeting, just hanging out at a local bar (games & karaoke). I had 1 beer and a lot of cranberry juice. I went heavy on the openness and honesty this time because I had some serious questions I needed to ask. I got my answers. He did seem to be very talkative, and said a couple things I wonder if he would have let slip if I hadn’t used the mones. He had like 2 beers over the course of about 3 hours, so I’m pretty sure we can’t blame alcohol on this one. ---

Tuesday-Thursday, Sept 13-15 **Weather:** overcast, high in the low 60’s **Pre-pheromone mood:** slightly anxious due to work project, but nothing out of the ordinary **What:** IShine **Morning:** Each day I did 3 sprays of IS on my wrists. I rubbed them together and then also spread it on my neck. **Effects:** The week went well. I was somewhat more at ease than usual when doing the type of project I was doing, but it wasn’t super pronounced or anything. I didn’t feel like a “star” or anything. I didn’t use anything on Friday because the smell of this stuff, while nice on it’s own, doesn’t mix well with my current fave perfume (Coach Poppy in case you’re wondering), and I was missing my perfume lol. ---

**Thoughts** It seems like so far what I can say is that I need a fair amount of [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) to notice effects, and they are still subtle. The others I’ve only used in conjunction with each other, so now I’m going to use them individually in earnest. Nevertheless, it seems the IS/b does have an effect (or it could just be that this guy really likes me anyway). I have a first meeting with someone from my online dating site today, and I’m going to try out IO by itself. ---

IS/b to be reapplied before my date tomorrow night. Is that double strength IShine? What happened to sweet spot testing? If that’s double strength you just sprayed 8 regular sprays and probably can’t tell anything from the pherobathbombbaptism you just gave yourself. Did you read the sticky on sweet spot testing? It’s your **optimal number of sprays** , NOT a location on the body. Sweet spot testing is done one product at a time; first one spray for a couple of days and note the results, if any. Then two sprays for a couple of days and note the results, if any. And so forth. In the world of mones, less is generally more. Give yourself at least a day without any applications for in between the different products. You’re not going to find out anything pouring the bottles on yourself. 😃 lol _ **How To Find Your Sweet Spot** _]([https://pheromonetalk.com/t/how-to-find-your-sweet-spot/22146/1](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/how-to-find-your-sweet-spot/22146)) ---

Hi PJ welcome to the forum. > [@](#): > > It seems like so far what I can say is that I need a fair amount of Instant Shine to notice effects, and they are still subtle. I use Ishine 4X and use about 3 to 4 sprays. I also have it in the special 8X version that came out for a while. Ishine is subtle, it enhances moods which is not always easy to see unless your aware of a persons mood before exposed. It doesnt have self effects for everyone either so its tuff to tell that way. The longer you use it the easier it will be to pick up on its nuances. You have sort of a AaaHaa moment with Ishine when it suddenly becomes clear to you what its doing. Tisha
