Hey jay and jesse, I tried covering the FF22 in MX353 with Creed’s Silver Mountain Water and it covered it nicely. Actually, upon further testing with the two of these smells they smell so much alike! I have a to-go with Creed SMW and when I would sniff the atomizer from each to-go (Creed SMW to-go and MX353) they honestly smelled almost identical to me. Only difference is that the FF22 scent when smelled from the atomizer it has a SLIGHT subtle chemical smell to it, but other than that almost identical.
nice! smw was pretty close to ff22 in my trials too. (you could say i compared them “backwards”) i was planning on using world ammo solo until i got the hang of covering, but it’s good to know that it can be covered well with smw. this sample vial of smw will see lots of action. 
Definitely, now I just wish I could afford SMW! Smells pretty good.
quick scent notes before dinner:
-
yes, smw covers world ammo very well. 1s world ammo neck followed by light dab of smw neck a few minutes later. nice blend of notes into one scent. similar drydown patterns and times. does not last long in the cold.
-
received my sample of ck crave today. initial scent is nice but very cologne-y. after a few minutes it just became too strong. not too close to game. i might give this another shot later but i don’t think it’ll go very far. i used a coupon for this so luckily it was practically free.
Ah, sorry this didn’t go too well for you jay. If I remembered correctly from experience to me it seemed to fall into that category, young adult kind of scent, fresh, and modern but I guess I was wrong at it probably being a close Game sub for you. Sorry jay. 
I still like it though, I’m considering buying a full bottle before those run out since it’s discontinued. I used to wear it often around early 2000, and went through the bottle pretty fast.
good vibes. it just doesn’t agree with my nose. with my coupon code i didn’t even pay a dollar to have it shipped to me so it was worth a shot.
i got back yesterday from my testing trip. interesting results. i should have some free time tonight to get my notes up.
Awesome, can’t wait to read it jay.
of course when i plan to have free time, i never do. bleh… 
3 days of testing with sarah
i like the format i used with my monster test report where i group by product and sub-group by target, rather than grouping by hit. hopefully this makes things a little easier to read.
the products i brought with me: p126 @ 15 mcg, mx330, world ammo. i brought my sample of creed smw too. i also had access to mx203 (the old school one with game scent). i gave the bottle to her because it holds a special place in our relationship: the blonde vs. brunette controversy may continue, but i believe something in mx203 really drew her into me. it is game scent too, her old favorite. she tells me that she smells the nozzle or even spritzes a little on her wrist when she misses me. for a distance relationship, that’s not a bad way to keep in touch. her perfume is a little too expensive to just give a bottle to me, but i can always go to the store and spray a tester.
p126 @ 15 mcg
sarah: absolutely no results. i might even venture a guess that it resulted in a negative reaction. see my conclusion below.
others: still a winner phero for me. 2s around anybody, guy or girl, and it’s like i get a boost of everything. social, sexual, and if i play my cards right, status.
mx330
sarah: conversely, using this is too easy with sarah. she is absolutely entranced with at least one of the ingredients in this mx. 1s and she’ll sniff my app spot for hours, saying i smell really good. it’s general neroli so i believe she’s not really smelling the scent, she’s smelling a phero or combo of pheros that really hits her sweet spot. 2s and she gets horny frisky, much like how she reacted back when ammo was still new to her. it’s the cougar mix, sarah is nowhere near being a cougar, yet it works like magic on her. this is one of those life mysteries where i don’t really know how it works, but i’m certainly not complaining. 
others: not tested. gotta keep this stuff for my special lady.
world ammo
sarah: general horniness. i foreshadowed this by first testing smw around her, saying i wanted a new scent and needed her opinion. she enjoyed it and said it was a nice change for me. the world ammo i had was poured from the 30ml into a clean to-go. i brought it out and said i had just a little bit of smw to spray as a test. much like how original ammo was worn as a cologne and she got horny off a “cologne,” i wore world ammo as a cologne (disguised as smw) and she got horny off it too. kept it at 1s for all tests, 2s might be too strong of scent for the time being.
others: scent compliments, but no real results as everyone knows i’m with sarah.
mx203
sarah: still my lucky charm. much of my testing was smw/ff22 based so a shot of game really dug deep into her memory bank and brought back the good old times. this is a soothing phero for her, basically as good as ifm or p74 or meo-est. i can use this as a base too for other pheros: add ammo and she gets extra horny, add a314 and she has extra respect for me, etc. i think currently the new mx203 is ff21 scented and that did not sit well with either of us. if that ever changes to ff22 or i can get it customized, i’ll definitely be on it.
others: not tested.
creed smw
sarah liked it and my other friends did too. one thing i noticed was that it doesn’t last very long. i hope that’s only because i’m dabbing out of the vial. if i drop some coin on a full bottle and find it lasts the same amount of time, i’ll be slightly disappointed. i went phero free for part of a day where i dabbed some smw on in the morning and then we went to lunch and shopping. it hit drydown during lunch and faded completely midway through shopping, maybe 3 hours after app. sarah sniffed my neck and couldn’t smell it. either it was gone or really faint. all in all, the important thing is that i like the scent, sarah likes it, and it pairs and covers well with my pheros. good stuff.
conclusion
i think superstar pheros like p126 and p96 don’t work with her or work negatively because i’ve already set a phero sig in her mind. it may be all me, or some combo of old school pheros that i used in the start of our relationship, or a combo of all that, but she seems pretty set in her reception. i tried to think of a good analogy for this and i believe i have one. it’s like going to a chiropractor for back pain. after one adjustment, you’re most likely still going to have back pain. likewise, after one exposure to a superstar phero, sarah is most likely still not going to react to it. her body sensors just ignore it. sarah doesn’t know me as the grapefruit scented p96 guy; she knows me as the game/akuto scented ammo/tuth/mx292/etc guy. however, after a series of adjustments with the chiropractor, your back pain will diminish. likewise, if i was not in this distance relationship and had consecutive days to expose sarah to superstar pheros, i think gradually she would come around to them. this only applies to sarah because she is my gf and we share a deep connection. i could use a superstar phero on a stranger or even a close friend and it would work great, because the deep rooted connection is not there.
i spent last weekend at a meet-and-greet / interview session with some people from companies that i would like to work for. i think pheros played a big part. here are some of my hits.
a314: duh. 1d each ear (2d total). i figured it was going to be a male-centric high status environment, and i wanted to bring my best. the people sitting next to me (also in my position) were very friendly. all the execs i met took a liking to me and stayed around to chat a while longer, while i noticed they didn’t really do that with other people.
io: biggest player of the weekend. 2s 2x neck purely for self effects, and luckily it came through. i’m more of a listener and in social situations, it used to be that i would just sit back and listen to people talk. that obviously does not get anyone a job, so i wanted to bust through my listening wall and really get out and talk. 4s io normally would make me blabbery but i think the a314 kept me focused and in check. i was able to converse with everyone i met and even went out of my way to talk to people. that’s a big step for me and i think a big step for my weekend as well.
p86 @ 10 mcg: 5s hair. can’t hurt, right? i forgot to load up a to-go with ishine so this was the substitute. it worked well, really gave a nice polish to my vibe.
p126 @ 15 mcg: 2s. my go-to phero. no clue what it did for me, but like p86, it didn’t hurt.
world ammo: 1s hair, mostly for scent. i sat next to a slightly older woman, low 30’s maybe? she talked to me a lot and we shared some smiles and laughs. not sure if ammo had a part in this, or if the 2d a314 got to her. i didn’t want to lug around my vial of smw so world ammo filled in nicely for scent and attraction.
p96 @ 25 mcg: 1s. probably a waste in this case, sadly. lesson learned.
i came out of the weekend with a few interviews, so that’s good. the best thing to keep in mind is that pheros will get you in the door. if your interviewing skills aren’t good, or your resume is sloppy, etc, you will still need to fix those things. then you can get the full advantage of pheros.
hey jayarea, glad to see you are still going with sarah. just wanted to stop in and say hi.

thanks to this combo, my buddy smells like a girl’s perfume and he has a new number to call.
let’s recap.
amazingly, the night started out at bar 1 with me and my buddy being ignored by every bartender in the place. it was slow for the usual thursday college night and they were all busy talking to their friends, so we packed up and left without even getting a drink. sorry, but if you’re not out to do your job, we can have fun elsewhere. on a similar note, pheros can be used elsewhere as well.
we headed to bar 2. much better atmosphere. i got the first round of drinks. originally i thought it was too quick of an encounter for anything to work, but turns out that may not have been the case. we’ll see this later. i get the drinks and we head to an open area.
hit 1: some girl approaches from my backside and sticks her boobs into me. it wasn’t totally random as we had seen her dancing near us. she leans into my ear and says that some weird guy is hitting on her, and that if he did it again, she would walk over to me and we would pretend to know each other, and thus she could get out of her predicament. i agreed and continued to act normally at her request. the guy ends up hitting on some other girl, we both see this, and she comes over again. this time her boobs go into my side and she leans in real close. she says thanks for agreeing to play along anyway and i tell her i’ll be here all night if she needs any more assistance, and she pats my shoulder, rubs her boobs against me while turning around, and goes back to dancing. my buddy is looking on with envy, but he would soon get his turn.
hit 2: extremely friendly bartender at the same location, but different physical bar. her strong pours kicked my night into high gear.
hit 3?: turns out the first bartender had put the wrong card into the tab when i signed. the total amount was correct, i just grabbed the wrong card. i noticed this when i went to pay bartender #2. i headed back towards the first bartender. she was busy serving someone else and just happened to look over. as soon as she did, she immediately finished her order and ran over to me, asking what i wanted. i considered this a hit since i didn’t really tip her anything out of the ordinary, and we were only in brief contact. something must have hit her. i tell her that the wrong card ended up in my tab. luckily the guy sitting at the spot i was just at had my card. we both joked like “hey, you didn’t charge anything crazy on my card, right?” and traded cards. the bartender gave me the number of the bar and the owner’s name in case any random charges do show up. she was very nice and the guy seemed nice too, and the bar is legit, so i don’t suspect any foul play.
hit 4: walking to the restroom, a random girl just straight up grabbed my butt. i look back and there are three girls smiling at me, one of them being the one who put her boobs in me earlier. i smile back and keep walking.
hit 5: the three girls dance near us and one starts backing up towards me. i do a spin move with my buddy and he ends up in my place, so she backs up into him. she turns and is a little surprised to see it’s not me, but isn’t disappointed in the slightest. they chat and she leans in the does the boob thing as well. sometime during their encounter they trade numbers.
we caught an early cab back home. after getting in, i notice a very nice smell in the cab. usually it’s an air freshener. however, i take a few closer smells and notice that it’s a girly smell. the lightbulb goes off in my head and i say “hey, [to my buddy] you smell like that girl!” he smells his coat and confirms. nice little reminder of the night for him.
super tired, will conclude on this tomorrow.
still movin and shakin. i think after we both met the parents, sarah and i got a little more serious. we’ll see where it goes.
concluding… still tired, but i’ll chug through it.
-
the biggest concluding factor for me is that all sprays were on front neck except for ammo, which was back neck. i had been doing sprays in my hair recently, hoping for good diffusion. in a crowded hot bar, i forgot how well body heat acts as a diffuser. i was definitely scent clouding all night and got great hits. i need to start spraying on my neck more.
-
i forgot which mx had which scent but i sprayed anyway. one was akuto and that was the main scent of my mix. another was game? p126 is neroli, and world ammo is ff22. at first i thought i would be a walking cologne shop but all scents dried down and mixed very well.
-
on this note, i think akuto got me my big hits of the night, #1 and 5, and any other ioi that i missed. this second bar we went to is a little classier than the first bar, which is purely college students. the second bar has a good mix of college students (that aren’t as rowdy as at the first bar) and young working graduates. akuto IMO is a classy scent. done and done.
-
mx291 and mx297… one was a gift, one was an order (or maybe both were gifts? not sure, it’s been a while) i’m really glad i have them though. my mx291 is nearly full. i need to bring some more guy friends if i’m to wear this combo again.
heading off to rest for spring break. bringing my whole collection so i’ll be prepared for anything. back next week!
sadly, i have some sad phero-related news and not much news to report from my spring break week of phero testing. i’ll make this quick since i have a lot of school things to catch up on.
sad news
pheros don’t work on sarah anymore. at all. not even tuth or ammo or any of the hard hitters. we’ve been away from each other for a while so the time off should reset her tolerance to at least a suitable level, but it’s not working out that way. i think she’s too used to my new phero sig that already includes tuth, ammo, and the hard hitters, that none of those work for her anymore. maybe i just need a certain mx or ptive to get her going again, but until, i can save time and my collection by going naked around her.
not much news
still crappy weather hanging on from winter so i didn’t get to go out much over break. good hits from shopping with ishine and some of the social mx, couldn’t test much else though.
currently i’m just chugging away at school and waiting for jasmine to return, hopefully snatch up some mx and the new a314.
I get the same problems sometimes with some of my lovers. I just exclude all the sexuals and go straight Ishine with maybe some IH and IO. I set it at social daddy for a couple of months and things reset. Good luck
Great read and an original title! Learned a lot. Keep up this great work of art.
good to know, thank you steve.
makes me glad you learned a lot. 
i learn quite a bit myself while performing and writing up these tests.
too easy: the return of p96 and mx301/302
p96 has been treasured ever since i found out it was rare. mx301/302 have been treasured ever since it was proven to work well and then became out of stock. i whipped out both last night and it was almost too easy.
1s p96 @ 25 mcg, front neck
2s mx301/302 combo, front neck
me, a few guys, a few girls. most of these people were quiet so i poured some shots to get everyone ready to go. then we settled down with drinks and drinking card games, and finally we ended with a modified version of “truth or dare” which basically became “if it’s your turn, you’re getting put on the spot.”
hit 1:
status hits from nowhere, as i didn’t wear anything for status. everyone treated me like an actual party host. when i run parties, it’s usually an open environment – the music can be changed by anyone, alcohol and mixers are provided to make your own drink, etc. last night, people asked me if they could change the music, they waited to hear what games i wanted to play instead of suggesting some they liked, etc. never really seen this before, especially without a status phero. also interesting to note was that it wasn’t blatant status like a314 or ig, but more subdued and “natural.”
hit 2:
suggestive ioi from a few girls. one girl stubbed her toe on a piece of furniture and wanted to show me her funny sesame street bandage. in a seated position, she slowly raised her leg and then dangled her shoe between her big and second toe as she showed me and some other guys her bandage. she could’ve easily accomplish the same result by kicking off her shoe and asking people to bend down and look, but she chose the flashy way. another girl came out a little red in the shoulders from the tanning booth and wanted to know if it was too embarrassing to not cover up (she was wearing a top that covered her shoulders). she draped one side of her top down to reveal her shoulder, then on second thought draped it down further along with her bra strap to reveal the top of her bra and some of what is commonly called “side boob.” she modeled her redness for a while and then somebody asked if it hurt to the touch, and she started touching herself in various areas to see if it hurt. i could tell some of the guys were enjoying the show.
continuing along with suggestive ioi is the sexuality of the latter part of the night. the first few rounds of truth or dare was mostly dare, and that always ended up in chugging a drink of some sort. then people started picking truth and the question was always sexual – favorite sexual position, dirtiest thing ever done, etc. then it got more wild like “who in the class would you sleep with?” and “if you were with person X, what would you do to him/her?” basically it was verbal porn. i had never seen such sexuality in a party before. all the guests were general friends and classmates so there wasn’t much attraction; however, if there were, i’d expect some making out and perhaps a few people leaving early.
hit 3:
blatant app point hit. i go to change the music and a girl grabs my arm and says for me to leave the song on. i say ok and she pulls herself in, smells my neck, and says i smell good. i say thanks and turn to leave and she just stands there but leaves her hand on my arm for as long as possible, so i kinda dragged her arm for a bit. i thought this was weird so i looked back and she gave me a smile over her shoulder. same girl who did the shoe dangling, so i guess she was prepared all night to give suggestive looks.
good sexuality, good comfort and vibing from p96, status from somewhere ??? all told, an excellent night for a surprise return to pheros.
brainstorming a mix for tonight. nice weather is kicking in and all the bars have been putting out radio ads for new spring specials. i feel good today, hopefully that good energy transfers to the nightlife.
2s mx301/302
3s p86 10 mcg
2s p126 15 mcg
creed smw cover
maybe 5s p86? or maybe 3s mx301/302, depending on how i feel at app time. i really want to add ig too but 301/2 gave me some good status last time; don’t want to overdo it.
looking forward to a good update tomorrow.
