**welcome back to school** first week back, already knee deep in work but still had time to party on this long weekend. 3s mx330 hair 2s p96 @ 25 mcg, 1 hair 1 front neck 4s ih hair good status hits from guys. surprising as i didn’t really work the status angle. it seemed fairly natural. lots of social hits. i think most if not all of this came from the ih. people were just saying things left and right. the ih really helped the comfort level increase exponentially so we didn’t waste much time getting reacquainted again. very good sexual hits, my expected result of such a mix. hit 1: extreme ioi from a random girl on the bus. my group was sitting in the seats that face each other across the aisle. she was behind me and to the side. instead of facing front, she would occasionally stare at me, smile when i met her eyes, and then give me bedroom eyes. after replaying the night i think she might’ve been looking for an invite or some sort of “hey, come party with us” conversation. she looked at a few other guys in the group too but none of them really saw her. hit 2: a group of girls were roaming the dance floor looking for guys to dance with. they found us and we just started grooving. there were more of us so a few of us “shared” a dance partner, myself being one of those guys. when the girl danced over to me, we started in the usual dance position with both of us facing the same direction. a few seconds later, she turns around and puts her face in my neck and basically hugs me. she was the right height to be directly in the app spot for p96. i’m sure she didn’t turn around because of p96, but the more she stayed in that new position, the more she got into it. i’d say she was low 20’s. gave me a smile and wink when their group left. and various other smaller hits. **conclusion** i had to take advantage of this rare party situation to try out more p96. again, i find it very weird that it works magic on random girls and does damage (the bad kind) with sarah. oh well. first time i upped my mx330 dose too. the ih was a game time decision, looks like it helped. ---

still poking my head in occasionally. i see that lots of products are now out of stock. hopefully they come back soon; i’ve been itching to boost my stash a bit. ---

i’ve been fragrance free for a while so i decided to get some cologne samples. to start, i picked some obvious ones: creed GIT and SMW, and davidoff cool water. i want to give GIT one more chance since it wasn’t an absolute miss the first time. i’ve heard good things about SMW and the notes seem to be just what i like, so it gets a shot too. some of the ff22 reviews compared it to SMW and i personally chose ff22 as the best of the 3 testers; hopefully i like SMW (and can afford to get a bottle of it 🙄). lastly, many people say the game fragrance that is now discontinued smells a lot like cool water. if there’s anything remotely like game, i gotta try it. i was in a rush one day and threw on a shot of something game scented, i think mx200. no worries about which phero it was, just wanted to smell nice. it was nice to smell game again and i figure it’s about time to rotate my actual colognes for some fresh scents, and these 3 samplers are my start. ---

quick scent notes, not to be taken as a full report (yet) davidoff cool water, 2 small dabs from the vial on wrists, dabbed wrists together and on other side this smells almost completely like ff22. if the basis for ff22 was cool water or something like it, the design house did an awesome job with it. ff22 is a nice scent but it’s not _quite_ what i’m looking for, and since cool water is almost a copy of ff22, it also is not quite what i’m looking for. ---

> [@jessejester](#): > > On another note. I have worn Cool Water Game consistantly over the past month. After initial spray, it smells close to the AD Game scent. But, after dry down, it really smells nothing like it. It smells much like CK Euphoria after dry down. CW Game, CK Euphoria, and A&F Proof seem to have the same dominant sweet top note. This was what I thought of Cool Water Game. I wish I could figure out what that sweet top note is. Its very prominent. I have been on a “like” Game scent for a while now. I have CK Crave on its way along with Bvlgari Pour Homme, CK Eternity, Chanel Egoiste Platinum, and Ralph Lauren Romance. Im hoping one of these may be the one. Good luck in your search. Oh, if you decide to get more samples, try Polo Blue. I would like to hear what others think about it. ---

Oh, if you decide to get more samples, try Polo Blue. I would like to hear what others think about it. funny you mention sweet top note because as i was flattening out the box my order came in, a sample card fell out with some misc fliers and such. i picked it up and saw it was for an exclusive [fragrancenet.com](http://fragrancenet.com) scent called “exceptional.” (this isn’t a sales pitch, don’t worry) i put it aside and went about my day and cool water testing. this morning i put a dab of it on a tissue and let it sit next to me as i ran through my morning email routine. same sweet top note as a “sweeter” game (think mx292). crazy. the card reads that it’s supposed to be a fresh top note, spicy drydown, and “sophisticated” end. so far at 3 hours it hasn’t really changed much on the tissue; i’ll have to try it on my skin sometime. a free sample that’s pretty close to the mark certainly doesn’t hurt. my bugger about “like” game testing is that i actually don’t know what pure game smells like. each different phero changes the scent a bit, e.g. to me mx292 smells sweeter than ammo. so, really, i guess one could say i’m looking for “ammo” (CW, CW game, etc) in addition to a nice new scent (SMW, GIT, etc). ---

**scent test reports** in order of least liked to most liked… creed green irish tweed i tried this on about a year ago when the perfume counter lady sniped me. nice smell, but too earthy for me. here i am again giving it one more shot a year later. still too earthy. not fitting with my persona. far be it from a stereotype and not to play any race cards here, but i don’t think i’ve ever met an asian who used a scent like this. on the contrary, i know plenty of caucasians with scents like this. this scent has been reviewed plenty here so i can skip that and say i don’t like it. davidoff cool water (original) i think i originally set the bar too high for this one so i had to give it another day or so of testing. this is purported to smell like game. in short, it really doesn’t. i compared it earlier to ff22. don’t get me wrong; it’s still a great scent. the sample i got is bigger than most sample vials and i plan on keeping it around until it’s gone. a little soapy intro that blossoms into a full, powdery clean scent. did not test this one around girls. [fragrancenet.com](http://fragrancenet.com) exceptional sugary sweet intro, almost too sweet even for me. eases down into a modern scent. the sample card says it goes from a citrusy intro to a spicy scent, then to a modern drydown. i did not get the spicy feel. also, in my tests, this was a very quick scent. roughly 2 hours after app i could no longer detect any scent. i didn’t smell much of the middle modern scent either unless i really put my mind and nose to it. the super sweet intro and drydown pattern remind me of paris hilton for men. i used it once when a restroom attendant had it out. i tested exceptional around a few girls and they liked it. i think [fragrancenet.com](http://fragrancenet.com) wanted to create a scent that worked for a majority of men, and they got it. it’s like a copy of “acqua di gio.” creed silver mountain water i need some more testing and at least a few sprays of it (currently i’m dabbing it on from the vial) but assuming all that goes well, i think i found a new scent. a new scent that costs $100+ per bottle. 😮 but alas, a complex scent like this commands such a high price. smooth intro, almost as if it was tapping you on the shoulder and saying “hi, your scent is here.” not too sweet, not earthy at all in my opinion, not “rich old man.” middle scent is fresh and very sophisticated. i didn’t catch much of a drydown; perhaps it faded or didn’t change much from the middle scent. i tested this around girls and guys and they all complimented me on the fragrance. due to the cold winter days and not really going out much i haven’t worn many pheros lately, and that gave smw a nice opportunity to really shine through. this one is a hit. conclusion i found a new scent, yes, but my search continues for a game-like scent. i have a sample of cool water game coming to me; we’ll see what that’s like. i believe [fragrancex.com](http://fragrancex.com) is the only place that carries ck crave online, and they have a ridiculous shipping price that doesn’t warrant getting only a sample from them so i’ll have to wait and research more samples to add to my order, or maybe see if any other place carries it. besides that, i still have half a bottle of game ammo to get my game fixes, plus a few to-go of game scented mx’s for light layering. hopefully the new ff22 ammo does not disappoint. ---

**scent testing, baby steps** 2s p126 @ 15 mcg dab of creed smw prefacing this with a note that to the best of my knowledge, in my time with pheros, i don’t think i’ve ever used a cover scent. neroli was pretty strong to my nose at the start, then i began using game and akuto as main scents. unless there was an incident i forgot about, this is the first time going out with a cover scent and pheros. typical birthday party at the club. the buses still are not timely here due to the snow so i stayed sober and drove. small preparty at my house before leaving. _very_ social hits at the preparty. the alcohol wasn’t really flowing hard either. as the room warmed up and i kept moving about to prepare drinks, the smw created a very pleasant and faint cloud. surprisingly neroli took a back seat and i didn’t smell it much. i was expecting to smell like a walking perfumania shop. i kept my light jacket on while dancing and that got me hot quicker than usual. the body heat releasing neroli and smw was very enticing. i noticed a few girls dancing around me move in just a little closer when the cloud hit them. smw was still kicking at the end of the night, albeit not too strongly. cigarette smoke and fog machine juice is no match for any scent. decent phero hits at the club. our main goal was to get the birthday boy to dance with any girl that came our way so i didn’t do much dancing with other people. did notice a few stares and smiles my way. concluding notes - smw mixes well with neroli. surprised me at first, but after looking at some of the ingredients of smw, it kinda makes sense. - need to test smw + game and smw + akuto. if smw mixes well with those, that basically solidifies my choice for smw as my new scent. - a lot of people rightfully get wary whenever steve makes an extravagant post on a new product. from using his recommendation of p126, i can say that he definitely knows his stuff. most excellent phero host. - i like using these bullet point things. - one guy in the group kept his heavy jacket on all night on the dance floor because he didn’t really dance much. i sacrificed a little uncomfortable warmth in exchange for body heat releasing my cloud, and i think that kicked up my personal atmosphere a lot. ---

i was in a state of grogginess early this morning. one roommate was being extra loud washing his dishes from breakfast and the roommate who has a room near mine was just doing his normal morning routine. the normal routine usually wakes me up (i don’t have classes until later) but i couldn’t fall back asleep for some reason so i decided to get up and walk around. i open my door and kick a fedex package sitting by the entrance. aha! i had remembered the arrival date was today but didn’t check over the weekend to see if there were any snow delays. i ran to make a quick breakfast to waken my senses and then hurried back to the package. the green bubble wrap hid two goodies: 2x io and ammo ff22 world edition. it’s always a treat to see what fun free gift comes with your order. the 2x io holds a special place not only because it is 2x, but because it is the first io in my collection. up until now i’ve been making do with spaceland and cttm. now i can get some actual io tests in and be efficient about it since it is 2x. and then onto the ammo world edition… as a backstory, i was not terribly overwhelmed with ff21 ammo. you could say i was terribly overwhelmed by the scent of it. in my ff trials i did like ff21 (just not as much as ff22) but the addition of ammo really changed the scent into something i did not like. given that ammo is a staple, i wanted to find something that would work, short of customizing a neroli or akuto package. 1.fs onto the back of my left hand followed by touching the back of my right hand. initial reaction was “ff22.” this is good and mildly important because with ff21, my initial reaction was not “ff21;” rather, it was “hey, this smells like soap.” (“soap” in this sense meaning a powdery fancy soap, something that smells nice but really isn’t fitting as a cologne for me) constant cloud exposure even as i type now and close sniffs every 10 minutes or so reveal nothing but ff22. what a hit. i think this is because ff22 is a “heavier” scent than ff21, along the same lines as why sometimes neroli and game will smell different in different products, but akuto is roughly the same. concluding notes - **if you like ff22, and you like ammo, get the ammo ff22 world edition. this is a real winner and as a game connoisseur, i would say this is a viable replacement for game-scented ammo (at least for me).** - given this above point, i think my nose is broadening its horizons. maybe a year ago i would’ve thrown ff22/smw out the window. i believe this is due to the recent pause in testing because of me being busy and not going much. by not being attacked by the big three scents each day, my nose gets a little time to breathe and adapt to new scents. i’m very happy with this. - have a good week everyone! ---

1s ammo world neck for a haircut just wanted to test one quick practice run to get used to the new scent at an actual app point. my usual stylist doesn’t work today and i have a few important occasions coming up, as you will read below, so i needed a cut with anyone. very good social hits, basically non stop chatter. i had a dry throat when leaving because i’m not used to talking so much during a cut. i couldn’t judge the age of my stylist but i figure 1s was a bit low. no sexual hits, or perhaps talkative sexual hits that weren’t quite full-fledged sexual horny hits. no adverse effects from new scent. now i’m looking fresh and armed with a game ammo and ff22 ammo to take to see sarah this weekend. 😃 as such, i’ll be away from the board this weekend but i expect some good testing to report on monday. take care everyone. 🙂 ---

Would you say the new AMMO scent dries down subtle? As in, do you think it could be covered with ease? I tested FF22 but I am interested to see how strong it is coming from a 30ml spray. I miss Game scent. _weeps softly_ ---

do you still have your ff22 tester? the new ammo dries down almost exactly like that. sort of subtle, but by the nature of the ff22 scent, not exactly subtle either (at least to my nose). the main difference i see/smell so far is that the initial blast of scent is stronger from the 30ml bottle, either because it is cologne strength for ammo or the addition of pheros gives it more of a kick. for covering, i think this would depend on which cologne you use. i have creed git, smw, and davidoff cool water; if you want me to try covering with any of those let me know. additionally i can also try covering with game/neroli/akuto.
