Detailed Report
Last week I did a little playing with MX274 alone. As far as effects on others, I didn’t notice much of anything. However, as someone pointed out to me, I did experience self effects. I did not feel that silly confidence I felt while on Instant Shine (which I’d used practically everyday before I got the mx274). Instead, I felt very calm and laid back, almost like I do when I’m at home and I wasn’t automatically uncomfortable like I tend to be when around other people.
This week I’ve been testing out MX274 in conjunction with P79 (the supposed enhancer) and a couple other guest stars. Considering that I have no life, all testing was conducted at work.
Day One: 2 sprays MX274 to chest, 2 sprays P79 to chest, 1 spray IH (x2) to wrist, I spray Is/b to wrist.
I added the IH and IS/b because on this day, I was at a post where I was in better position to possibly interact with my TG. Unfortunately he did not drop by. Nonetheless, this is the first day I can say with confidence that I had hits. I was like “whoa” because since I’ve been “using”, I haven’t experienced anything so definite.

A particular messenger came to my department today. If you don’t know already, I don’t give the best impression and people tend to think that I’m stuck up. With my other coworkers, she is always nice and sometimes engages in short conversation with them. Whenever I say “Hi”, she usually will return it, but that’s it. On this day, she actually gave me an enthusiastic “How you doing??” I literally took a step back and a double take because I wasn’t prepared to answer her.
-
A couple minutes later, a housekeeper walked in to do her job. I always feel awkward with her because I go out of my way to ignore her. Let me explain. I don’t make a huge effort to say hello to people if I don’t have to. One reason is because it really bothers me when I “speak” to someone and they don’t atleast smile in acknowledgment. In response, some people then decide to themselves, “Well if she can’t speak to me, I’m not going to speak to her,”. 
I think this particular lady has me in that category, so I always feel tense when she comes by, and I pretend that she’s invisible. Imagine my surprise when she said, “Hey, how you doin?” She hasn’t greeted me in a year!!!
-
Then, another worker walked in to borrow something from our department. She was just minding her business at first, but then she just turned around and started venting to me about how the people on the other floor don’t want her to use their stuff and blah blah. I nodded and listened and grunted in response…but in my head, my mind was saying, “Are you SERIOUSLY talking to me like you know me right now???” It was so bizarre. She was looking right at me, talking to me like we’re friends. I have never said two words to her, and most people (obviously having been warned) tend to leave me alone. People think I’m stuck up and/or an idiot.
-
My coworkers always offer me help, but this day, they were really helpful. Usually I tend to get kind of irritated when they want to help because I can’t help but feel like they think that I can’t handle my job. But at one point, two of them were doing things to help at my post, and the strangest part is that it just felt like that’s how it should be. 
-
I had a problem with a messenger that came down and it took me a while to finally get her stuff together and send her on way. I felt bad that it took so long and I actually thanked her for waiting. My social anxiety usually never allows me to express anything but focus and fake cheerfulness, so this was different.
DAY 2: 1 spray Mx274 to chest, 1 spray P79 to chest
While I was in the cafeteria on my break, a random lady I’ve never seen before came up to my table and proceeded to ask me about my hair, which is like hers. She said a few things about the topic, and seemed to want to chat more, but I’m not “there” yet. Besides being unable to carry a normal conversation, I was caught off guard because no one ever talks to me. So that was interesting.
DAY 3: * 2 sprays Mx274 (one to wrist, one to chest), 2 sprays p79 (one to wrist, one to chest)
I had a couple mishaps at work, but I fixed them and didn’t dwell too much on it. I did feel stupid about what happened but the incidents didn’t ruin my day as badly as they normally would have. Afterwards, I read somewhere that Mx274 may help to minimize “ego-bruising”, so there you go.
On my way out of the building, some random person jokingly reached for the cake I was carrying, but I don’t know that I’d call that a hit.
DAY 4: 3 sprays Mx274 (2 to chest, 1 to wrist), 3 sprays P79 (2 to chest, 1 to wrist), 1 spray IH (back of neck)
I threw the IH in there again in effort to see if I could replicate Day 1. I wanted to see if the IH made the difference.
Ugh. I think I may have OD’d on SOMEthing. In my amateur opinion, I’d say that it was the P79.
I don’t know if this day was a fair test because there were several little things that annoyed me–nothing anyone did, just random problems and issues that came up. I was able to conceal it the best I could, but I was SO irritated. Based on my previous personal reactions to MX274, I’d think that I would have been able to be mellow and cool internally, but NO. I don’t think anyone around me was tense, but it just felt like it was in the air…or maybe i was just self-conscious, thinking that others could sense my mood. I was so ready to go home. By the end of my workday, I felt as if I weren’t wearing anything. One of my coworkers asked me some questions and I was back to answering sheepishly, with timid eye contact and a stupid grin. It wasn’t the best day for me. I think the p79 may have contributed.
Odds and ends: I like the scent of the MX274, but I think it’s a fighter 
. What I mean is that I cover it everyday (sometimes twice) with some of my Demeter scent, but by the end of the day, I smell the grapefruity cookie Mx274, which is fine by me. I could eat my wrists.
The latest of the preceding hits occurred a good 9 hours after application, so it probably lasts a while. And all of the hits occured within 6 feet of me.
Conclusions: I think the MX274 makes me feel like I’m too cool for school. It makes me feel like I’m a cool, down-to-earth chick and that someone could just feel free and comfortable to talk to me about whatever, no matter how random. However, it doesn’t seem to make people excessively chatty. For me it doesn’t feel space-y and carefree. For the most part, I just felt comfortable. I can’t say that I felt a confidence surge, though (which I attribute to the Instant Shine).
As far as I can tell, I don’t notice much “sexy” with this. I didn’t interact with many males, but I presume that any exchange would have felt mostly platonic (atleast on my end). I just felt like a cool friend. It feels like just laying on the couch and watching TV with your friend, talking about anything. Hope you can understand what I mean.
On to the next adventure!!!
