Alright, here goes nothing. Day 1.

2 sprays of IG on the neck at around 4:00 PM.
2 sprays of TUTH on the chest at around 11:00 PM.

The IG was interesting. The scent seemed pretty subtle, but it hit me right away. Something about it reminded me of my grandmother. Not that it made me smell like an old lady or anything, but there was definitely something about the scent that reminded me of her. Weird. Anyway, I sprayed it on about 20 minutes before my wife came home from work. Wanted to see if it would effect her in any noticeable way. It didn’t, but it’s been pointed out to me that sometimes it can take a few days for someone’s perception of you to shift.

The self-effects were pretty noticeable though. I tend to get stressed out and irritated more easily than I would like, but the IG made it to where things didn’t bother me as much. Door-to-door salespeople, wrong numbers, family members invading my home office to play around while I’m trying to respond to important work-related e-mails. Sure, some of it was kind of annoying, but with the IG I felt much more well put together. Never felt like I was gonna lose my cool over something stupid.

The TUTH is a different story. Around 11:00 PM, the wife and I usually retire to the bedroom to watch TV, or talk, or whatever, for a little while. I decided I’d try a couple sprays of TUTH to see if it leads to anything more interesting than watching reruns on TV. All she could talk about was “damn, what IS that? You smell SO GOOD! Something’s definitely different about you right now. What is it? What’s the deal?”

She was definitely getting some kind of effect from the TUTH, but I don’t know how overtly sexual it was. You see, about 10 minutes after I sprayed it, I started to feel pretty crappy. It started out with weird visual distortions in my peripheral vision. I was seeing stuff that wasn’t there, things that weren’t moving appeared to be swirling around. Only out of my peripheral vision on my right side. I was also starting to feel a bit nauseated, so instead of trying to pursue anything with my wife, I had to suggest that we just go to bed. I figured I’d feel better in the morning.

Nope.

I woke up at least 5 times in the middle of the night, puking my guts out each time. It was some of the worst nausea I’ve ever felt in my life. I tried some pepto, I tried some bonine, and nothing helped with the nausea. Even right now, I’m having to fight it, although I’m doing much better. Relatively high fever, too.

I’m not saying this was definitely a result of the TUTH, but I’m not ready to rule it out yet, either. I’ve come across a few reports of mild nausea and headaches with certain products, but this was something else entirely.

The wife and kids and I are driving across the US to visit family. Leaving tomorrow. I was planning on using IG during the drive (and during the visits with in-laws), and TUTH at our hotel room (it’s a 2 day drive, so we have to stop overnight somewhere, and everyone loves doin’ it in a hotel room), but now I don’t know if bringing TUTH on the trip is such a wise idea, especially if that really is what’s making me feel like this. Again, it might be, it might not be, but it seemed like a pretty weird coincidence that I started feeling like shit pretty much right away after spraying it. We’ll know for sure if it happens again next time I use it!

Good report. You’re seeing the benefits of methodical testing.

That’s interesting about TUTH. I haven’t used it in a couple months, but I did yesterday. You can read my report about it. I didn’t feel nauseous, but I got extremely tired. Androstenone is also very tenacious and acts for a long time. It must have affected my sleep because I slept for nine hours, even though I took two naps yesterday!

Typically when I use TUTH, I use it solo for a specific purpose. :slight_smile: Yesterday was the first time I combined with it anything (A314 and P74). My theory is that TUTH increased my stress level, but P74 kept a lid on my expression. It was like my stress was bottled up. This probably overloaded my brain which made me tired. My brain needed to reset. That’s my theory, at least.

It could be that TUTH was a bit incongruent with your overall persona. Something in your psyche didn’t like that, especially when paired with IG. From a psychological standpoint, you had to rid yourself of that part of you that was incongruent with your psyche. Hence, the vomiting. This is speculation, but a good model to make sense of these strange side effects. We are, after all, playing with psychology via pheromones.

I recommend trying TUTH on a day when you don’t use any other product, or at least take a shower first to wash off the other pheromones before applying TUTH. But, for now, keep TUTH at home. (When you start using TUTH again, start with only one spray. I suspect two sprays were a bit high for you.)

For that hotel fun, use IShine instead. This would make both of you feel really good and giggly. A lot of guys report feeling very tired when IShine wears off, so that would be fine since you’re already in a hotel room for the night. Yeah, IShine would be a nice complement to IG in the evening. Definitely try this one.

Nice start to your journal. Keep it up!

I don’t think that IG and TUTH is an interesting combo. Even if there were a few hours between each usage. You should test IG and TUTH, yes, but separately at first. And wash throughly before trying a different product. And maybe start with one spray and work your way up from there. If you start with a combo from the start, you are not even yet familiar with each product’s effects :slight_smile:.

Great to see you have a journal going. I’m tuning in.

4

Ah, I don’t think my intention was to try out IG and TUTH as a combo. It had been about 8 hours, so I thought maybe the IG had worn off, and I could try something else. Oh well. Live and learn.

Anyway… Day 2.
2 sprays IG to the neck (9:30 AM)
1 spray Ishine to the neck (11:30 PM)

I was still feeling pretty terrible from the night before, but I had some errands to run that morning, so I forced myself to shower and get dressed so I could go take care of business. This was the first time I tried using anything in public. As far as self-effects go, I can’t really say. Mostly all I felt was weak and tired from being sick all night. I did notice that all the salesclerks that I interacted with were a bit more talkative than usual. Usually when I go into a store, they’ll ask me if I found everything okay, and tell me how much I owe them, and that’s that. I had one guy tell me this whole long story about how bad everyone’s allergies are this season, and about his attempts to quit smoking. We talked for a few minutes. At another store, I tried to chat with the old lady working there – just trying to be friendly, you know – and she seemed a little annoyed that I was trying to make small talk. Ha, oh well. I guess maybe I was a little more talkative than usual, too.

After that, went home and took a long nap.

Got up at some point, packed for my trip. I realized I needed to get a few items from the grocery store. Took a long shower, did my best to scrub away any leftover IG that might have been remaining, because I thought it might be good to try Ishine at the store. So, at about 11:30 PM I gave myself 1 spray of Ishine to the neck, and headed out to the store. I still wasn’t feeling 100%, so again, instead of feeling obvious effects from the Ishine, mostly I just felt tired and weak.

And the store itself was pretty empty, so I didn’t really get to see if anyone else reacted to it, either. Although, when I went through the checkout, the cashier girl was kind of zoning out, and she forgot to give change to the guy who was in front of me. I don’t know if that had anything to do with the product (maybe in a dihl sort of way – she seemed okay until I walked up, and then she just sort of started to space out), but either way, it was funny.

Anyway, leaving today. I probably won’t be able to make frequent updates until I get back in a week or so.

5

Have a nice trip and keep testing solo products :slight_smile:. When you come back, tell us about your hits.

Alright, back home.

Not really a whole lot to mention. I took my entire AD arsenal with me on the trip (not much – A314, IG, IO, Ishine, and TUTH).

I spent 4 days driving, and 5 days with family/in-laws. I mainly used IG or A314 during the driving portions. Around family I mostly stuck to A314, IG, or Ishine. I did accidentally wear a couple sprays of TUTH around my sister-in-law. My wife and I were getting ready to go out one night, and she was taking a while to get ready. Sat and chatted with SIL while I waited for my wife. At first she seemed kinda standoffish, but got more and more chatty as time went on.

Whenever I was using the A314, I noticed that my wife was much more respectful of decisions that I made. Usually if I do something to discipline the kids when they’re acting up, she’ll come in and reverse whatever decision I made, tell them they’re not grounded, give them back whatever gadget I took from them, etc. But not with A314. It’s funny, the kids have learned that when Dad tells them no, they can ask Mom, and get their way more often than not, even right under my nose. They seemed pretty shocked that she backed me up and respected how I handled the situation whenever I wore the A314. Getting just that little amount of respect – something that many people would probably take for granted – felt so good.

I tried Ishine a few times, but I didn’t notice any obvious results (self or others). I’ll keep trying though. I never experienced the crash that I’ve heard people talking about, so that’s good anyway.

There were a couple times where I used TUTH, even though I was advised to leave it at home! I think my nausea incident that happened the first time I tried TUTH was just a coincidence. Maybe I got food poisoning or something. Because I’ve tried TUTH a few times since then, and I haven’t had anything like that happen since then. My wife seems to be receptive to the TUTH, but not necessarily on a sexual level – she does have some issues with sex, and it takes her awhile to warm up to it, so it’s gonna take some time, and some finesse, I think. But anyway, whenever I’m sporting TUTH, even just the tiniest bit, she goes on and on about how great I smell. It’s not necessarily the fragrance, right? It’s just the same neroli scent as all the others, I think…and she doesn’t go crazy about how I smell when I’m just wearing IG or whatever, so she is obviously picking up on the pheromones, which is good, because it has helped to convince me that these things work, at least on some level.

Anyway, got home on Saturday. Haven’t had time to update since then, but yesterday I decided to try IO for the first time. Shortly after I applied the IO, my wife decided it’d be a good time to have a very serious heart-to-heart conversation about some of the issues she’s been dealing with. Was it the IO? Maybe. That was the first time I’ve ever tried it. We’ll see if I get similar results when I try it again.

Those seem like nice hits. Yeah, they can be subtle, particularly with people you already know. I’d say the pheromones are working for you. Would be interesting how your colleagues respond to your new scent. Keep it up!

Just a quick update. After I checked in this morning, I went to work. I’m an academic, so unless I’m teaching a course or something, my physical presence isn’t really required anywhere, so I usually work from home… although now that I’m trying out these mones, I’ll plan to work from campus more often. One thing to mention is that I’m actually a grad student – I’m pretty much responsible for a lot of the same things that regular faculty members/professors are for, but instead of getting paid a decent salary, I make about the same as a part-timer at a fast food joint. Oh well. The upshot of this is that I can sort of float between multiple worlds – fun-loving student and serious scientist. I’m 30, and I look pretty young for my age (or so I have been told over and over again), so I can mingle freely with undergrads, grads, and faculty.

When I parked my car this morning, I applied 3 sprays of IG to the neck. This was really the first time I tried wearing any products around a lot of people. Before, I’d just use them around my wife, or trips to the store.

I walked the few blocks over to my office. Ran into a co-worker (male) who was much more talkative than usual with me. He’s not a guy I chat with much, but we made small talk for a few minutes before parting ways. He did seem a little bummed that I was going in the opposite direction from him.

A few minutes later, I had a meeting with someone that I’m working on a very large research project with. She’s older, maybe in her 60s… I’m not sure. She’s also a grad student, like me, so we’re more or less on equal footing, although I am somewhat more experienced. She’s not one of the ones that treats me like I don’t know what I’m doing. She always has a lot of faith in what I have to say. We usually meet once a week, and I didn’t really notice anything that was too much out of the ordinary, except that she really wanted to tell me all these stories about her life. She’s an interesting person and a good storyteller, so I listened. She’s usually like this, but today was much more extreme than usual.

After our meeting, I left the university so I could come back home – I had a guy coming over to clean our carpets – and on my walk back to the car, I noticed something pretty interesting. Almost every young woman I walked past made eye contact with me. Usually people look down, or straight ahead, or if they do accidentally lock eyes with you, they quickly look away because they’re embarrassed or whatever. Not today. They’d make eye contact, and hold it. Not for so long that it’s creepy, but just long enough to send the message “hey, I’m looking at you.”

Pretty neat. I’m going to reiterate that I’m married, and there isn’t a chance in hell that I’d try to run around on my wife, but if passersby are making eyes at me, it’s still a pretty good mood/confidence boost.

I teach a medium-sized undergraduate course tomorrow afternoon. I’ve never had any trouble from any of my students – they all seem to have a lot of respect for me – but I may try the A314 for my lecture. Thoughts?

Very nice hits. Your experience is similar to mine on IG. People who already know you tend to open up a bit more. Guys really want to be your friend. Women feel safe around you. Yeah, nice report.

A314 may or may not be necessary in a lecture. Frankly, I think IG is just fine in an academic setting. You don’t need the upper hand, like a dean or administrator would need. One of my favorite professors projected a warm, father-like vibe that made it much easier to learn the information. If you’re interviewing for a professorship position, then use A314. But, when lecturing to respectful students who already know you, IG would be sufficient.

Yesterday was fairly interesting. I was going to take Hank’s advice and stick to the IG for my lecture, but as I was going over my schedule that morning, I remembered that I had a couple meetings scattered throughout the day where I’d be having to confront a few students about cheating on a recent exam. So I decided I’d try A314, just to see where it takes me, and whether or not it makes those meetings run any more smoothly. When you catch students cheating, you’ve kinda gotta be a hardass otherwise they’ll try to weasel their way out of it, or give you some bs story about how they didn’t do the thing that they obviously really did do.

So, at about 7:00 AM, I gave myself about 1.5 neck sprays of A314 (to go… I understand the full size bottle is an oil, which will probably be better for the climate where I live).

Took my son to the doctor for a check-up before running him to school. The staff were all pretty courteous and respectful. Usually they kinda have bad attitudes. But it was subtle, still.

Dropped the boy off at school and went to work. Parked, and on my way up to the office, ran into a colleague and chatted with him for the remainder of the walk. He’s always been a pretty friendly sort, so this wasn’t anything out of the ordinary.

I got to my office probably at around 9:30, sat my stuff down, and then spent the next hour running stupid errands all over the university before returning to my office to find that my officemate had arrived.

Not being faculty, I have to share my office with another grad student, which is totally fine with me. My current officemate is a young woman, I’d put her around 25-28. We’ll call her L. Cute, but not really my type, all things considered. Since most of us work from home a lot, I almost never see her in our office. The times I have seen her, she hasn’t been particularly friendly*. For awhile, I thought she had something against me, although I had no idea what it could have been.

Usually, L doesn’t say much. Even a “hello” isn’t always guaranteed. When she comes in, she might say hi, or she might not, and then she sits at her desk and does her thing, and leaves. Yesterday, she showed up wearing a pretty neutral expression which almost immediately switched to a cheerful smile and a warm greeting – hello, how are you, I haven’t seen you in the office in a while, how are your students this term, is it going well, all that sort of thing. Pretty atypical behavior for L, who is usually very quiet and keeps to herself, at least around me. I don’t really know what she’s like around other colleagues.

For the next couple hours, she keeps asking me advice for little things – proofreading, grading, editing – things like that. And she keeps asking me questions that I know she knows the answer to. And a lot of chatting about little things that were going on with her. Every now and then, I’d catch her glancing my direction and smiling, sometimes just out of the corner of her eye, sometimes it was more obvious. I’d smile back, and then she’d smile even bigger, and then sort of quickly look back at whatever thing she had been working on, stretching and running her fingers through her hair. This went on… well, pretty much for the rest of the day.

When my students came in for their meetings, they went smoothly. They were all honest about cheating, and instead of me spending a half hour trying to get to the bottom of the situation, they all just came out and told me. Quick and easy.

The lecture went well, but those always go fine for me. The only times I ever feel really great about myself is when I’m teaching.

Afterwards, came home, watched some TV, hung out with the family, went to bed, nothing interesting. By then the A314 probably wore off, anyway.

*I said before that L was usually never very friendly to me. There was one other time where she seemed more friendly than usual (although it was nowhere near as extreme as yesterday). I have long hair, and I almost always try to keep it neatly tied back, so that it’s not in my face, and so it looks more professional, I guess. One day a couple months ago I showed up to the office wearing it down, and she wouldn’t stop going on about it. And the thing is, whenever I wear my hair down – which again is almost never – it seems to have a very strong effect on women. The first time I wore it down at the university here I had three female colleagues following me around saying things like “you look so…cool!” and “your hair is so gorgeous, I just wanna touch it!” and “you should wear it like this from now on!” It is a very strong effect, and I like the attention, but I don’t like to wear it down. I just wonder if wearing it down might cause my natural pheromones to become more obvious to those around me. Does that sound plausible?

Anyway, I’m working from home today. Tomorrow I’m meeting with my landlord, who is this very intimidating ex-Soviet guy, to renew my lease. He always snoops around all over the house, and makes me feel super uneasy and uncomfortable. Any suggestions for what I might try to make the meeting go more smoothly?

11

Nice report. For the russian bear landlord, use A314 all the way. Which spray version do you have A or B?

12

It’s the A314 A. Is there much of a difference?

13

A is more powerful and offers quicker release than the Oil. B can be compared to the oil in terms of strength but also offers quicker release. Of course, the oil offers longer product life on skin.

Still, you can try two sprays with that landlord and see what you get :slight_smile:.

14

Good report, Pnt. I’d be interested to see how those students behave around you when you switch to IG.

As for your hair, it would only add to the aura that pheromones provide. For instance, if you sprayed IShine in your hair (which is a common practice by many users), you will really get women swooning over you. So your clothing and hairstyle will influence people just as much as pheromones. When your clothing, hairstyle, attitude, and pheromones are in sync, then you get maximum response from your targets. They all work in concert.

15

Nothing super interesting to report today. I had my meeting with the landlord yesterday. He’s actually a pretty nice old guy, but at the same time, something about him fills me with anxiety. Maybe it’s just that he owns the house that I live in and I don’t wanna deal with any scrutiny about how I’m maintaining it. Took the advice that was given here and tried 2 sprays of the A314. As the time of our meeting got closer and closer, I started to feel more and more stressed out, so a few minutes before he showed up I sprayed Ishine once, thinking it might help put me in a better mood.

When he showed up, we went over the paperwork we needed to go over, and he decided it’d be a good idea to stay and chat for about 20 minutes. I wasn’t happy about this, but he was in a pretty good mood – maybe from the Ishine – and I was just glad that he didn’t want to check around in all the rooms like he sometimes does. We have more pets than we’re supposed to, and it’s always annoying trying to get them to stay hidden while he’s around. That’s probably part of what stresses me out about his visits, too.

Anyway, he eventually left. I had another lecture that afternoon. It was over a topic that is not one of my favorites to teach, but it went more smoothly than I expected.

I have a couple errands to run this afternoon. I’m thinking about throwing on a couple sprays of IO to see how it affects socialization. I’ve only ever worn it at home around the family so far.

16

It was your first time using A314? Next time, try a single spray of A314 (solo) and see if you get less of that anxiety. Also, it would be nice for you to try ISHine solo too. This is the only way to fully understand the effect of each product on yourself and on others before mixing the products. Same goes for IO, etc..

Reading your report, altough you got nothing spectacular, I detect hints of respect hits from the burly guy (not invading your privacy further, being in a good chatty mood, treating you at least as an equal).

Keep writing, nice work.

17

I have to bump this up hoping to reach you. This journal of yours is interesting, and as we pray that you are doing well out there, we also hope to see updates from your tests and your life in general.

Ready to try the mones in Stealth mode? :slight_smile:

18

I have not noticed this journal before. Well I am tuned in and hope you are doing well and if ever need anything just hit me up and hope you come back and post.

19

Yes, please, come back with some more great reports.
