Fair warning, this is a long post…
I’ve taken a break from pheromones for several months, partly because I’ve been in a relationship since last May and I didn’t really feel like I needed to wear them (I was wrong 
). Also, I’d depleted 2 out of 3 of my core mix components and with the price increase I was in no position to replace them. That mix consisted of IH, IO and TUTH in a 2:1:1 ratio (4x IH, 2x IO, 5 mcg TUTH). That base has served me very well over the last two years. In fact, I went from no relationships and only occasional flirting to two back to back relationships. The first one was 9 months long and the second is approaching 1 year. I give the IH a lot of credit for creating unusually rapid intimacy with both girls, which they both remarked on. Over the last two years the level of incidental flirting, eye contact, random smiles, and just blatantly getting hit on has been unlike anything I’ve encountered previously.
The last three months I’ve been pheromone free and all the random attention I used to get has stopped. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, flirting is fun and I confess I miss the extra attention. So, I decided to do a little research to try and find a new TUTH buffer. I settled on TAC.
My shipment arrived a couple of days before I left for a week long conference. I decided to start with a ratio I found from searching the forums: TAC (20 mcgs/spray) + TUTH (5 mcgs/spray). I sprayed it on, TUTH on the chest under the shirt, TAC to the throat, covered with Tobacco Vanille and went out.
And got nothing. Two days and nights at different locations, malls, restaurants, a bar. No hits out of the ordinary…until I wore them around the girlfriend. Let me preface by saying that I hadn’t worn Tobacco Vanille around her yet, had just bought it as a sampler and I’d been wearing the different samples over the last couple of weeks and getting her opinion on the ones she liked. That evening we were lying in bed and she snuggled up close, buried her face in my neck and let out a long sigh; then she whispered how much she loves how I smell, that it’s her favorite cologne and she’s missed me wearing it. After that she nuzzled in deeper, and wrapped herself around me. Things progressed form there…
It obviously wasn’t the Tobacco Vanille that she was all wriggly about. 
The Conference:
I mixed a ToGo 1:1 with TAC and TUTH for the conference and gave myself two sprays in the morning then repeated the application in the afternoon. Covered with cologne, either Green Irish Tweed or Aventus (had to buy a bottle of Aventus before I left the big city 
). The temperature was probably 72 degrees in the convention center.
I had several instances of smiles and prolonged eye contact from various women during the convention. There was some obvious attraction by one vendor in particular: brunette, probably mid to late 30s, she always made a point to say Hi when I walked by and waved if I caught her eye from a distance. I was not a potential customer so I doubt the normal vendor/salesperson friendliness was a component.
Other hits were more substantial, two in particular:
Hit #1: I was talking to a guy about our research in the middle of the conference floor and I looked away to see a really attractive brunette walking up to us. She was very stylishly dressed, great eyes, very present (probably late 20s based on what I know now). She obviously knew the guy I was talking too and she walked right into the middle of our conversation and stood between us, kind of facing us both. Then she greeted him and asked him how he was, but all the while she kept glancing over at me and smiling. Then she stepped back a bit and kind of drifted over beside me, apologizing for interrupting our conversation, still glancing over at me and smiling while talking to him. The guy called bullshit on her and told her that of course she meant to interrupt us or else she wouldn’t have done it…she confesses, blushing. Then she turned to me and asked me my name with this strange look in her eye and I can’t decide whether the look is bold or demure, but it’s definitely flirtatious, and very sexy. The three of us chat a bit more before I leave to let them discuss some business.
About 20 minutes later I see her again…she smiles and heads over to me. We talk some more, just background stuff like what we do for work, where we live, etc…Apparently she’s been trying to get a job with the guy I was talking to earlier and when I mention that I’ll probably be looking soon too she hands me her card and tells me I should call her when I’m ready and she’d love to do whatever she can to help out. So I made a nice job connection if nothing else. 
Anyway, we talked a bit more and it turned out that we have some mutual friends. Eventually we parted ways saying that we’d probably see each other again, and I did bump into her several more times. There were plenty of lingering looks and smiles, but nothing further. I suspect that if I wasn’t involved and had taken more initiative that things would have turned out differently.
Hit #2: An acquaintance from my town was also at the conference; she’s 25, asian, very petite and cute. We saw each other a couple of times the first morning of the conference but didn’t talk much. Later that afternoon I was standing at a table in the convention center when she comes up to me and starts to make some light conversation. She seems pretty nervous, very smiley and shifting from foot to foot. Whatever is going on she seems to give up and she starts walking away…then suddenly she spins back around, and all in a rush asks me out to lunch when we get back to town! 
Very strange.
I had one more hit after the conference that I’ll throw in here. Same mix, TAC + TUTH covered with Aventus, the difference is I’ve started spraying the pheromones in the same spot unlike before the conference. I was wondering if the lack of hits initially had something to do with the different diffusion rates of having the TUTH under the shirt and the TAC outside. Since I’ve started spraying them together things have been more consistent.
Anyway, back to the story…I went to lunch at a small cafe near work and the waitress came over to drop off the menus. She’s served me in the past, and she’s very friendly with bright, smiley eyes. Nothing too out of the ordinary happened until the end of the meal when she asks if I want dessert…I say no, and she seems kind of disappointed. I pay the check and when she returns with my card she’s wrapped up a scone for me. She says that since I didn’t want dessert that she’d just have to buy me breakfast. Now where did that come from?!
In summary, I have to say TAC is a great addition to TUTH. Note that these are all “passive” hits. I’m in a relationship and I don’t approach women, which limits the strength of my reports in some ways. I’m sure if I were more outgoing I’d get even more hits with this combination. It’s even more striking after being pheromone free for several months and re-experiencing the phero-effect again as if for the first time. It seems like this combination is lowering inhibitions and encouraging women to be more forward than they might normally be, maybe even more than with my old IH/IO/TUTH mix since a lot of those hits were at night with alcohol involved, and these were all day hits. I just bought some p74 that I’ve been playing with this weekend and it seems to be a good addition, but I need a few more outings before I’ll report on that.
