My first three [pheromones](https://a314.com/) are Instant shine x2, instant openness x2, and instant honesty x2. I have received my new toys yesterday, and one of the bottles might have leaked, because the odour was quite strong when I opened the package. I am pretty sure that I had a happiness/euphoria self-effect from it, because about 20 minutes after opening the package I started feeling elated and happy. The feeling subsided over time, but overall lasted for a good couple hours. Without further ado, I went on to try IS today. One spray of IS x2 on my neck, and off I went. I also wore Diorissimo by Dior (a lily of the valley-scented fragrance). I could not smell IS on myself, and there were no self effects I could detect. First thing in the morning, I went to see a doctor, and she was actually less chatty than last time I saw her (granted, it was a busy day). At work, I did not find that anyone talked to me or spent time around me any more than they normally would. At the end of the day, a small ‘party’ started in our office, but that’s not uncommon for a Friday night, and not surprising, considering that most of the people left on the floor were from my office - the rest just gravitated towards us. The only unusual thing, I suppose, was that I had a very lively and upbeat conversation with my dad when we met up on the way home - more so then usual. That’s it for Day 1! ---

The weekend has been slightly uneventful for me. I was going to go to a party tonight, and put on two sprays of IS x2 on both sides at the base of my neck; however, I ended up staying home to work instead (I’m fun like that 😉 ). I think I became slightly more productive after putting IS on, although I am not sure if it was more the influence of the fact that I have sacrificed party time, and felt that I should make a good use of that time. Interestingly, I don’t really smell IS on myself very much, aside from a very light occasional whiff. Does anyone else have that? I have also discovered a vanilla/sugary-scented body spray in the house, and I think it would make a good cover spray. I’ve never smelled Pink Sugar, but I would imagine that this is what it would smell like. Can’t wait to have more to write! Tomorrow I will try 2 sprays of ISx2 on my neck again and will see what happens at work. I might also go to gym. During excercise, when the skin heats up, wouldn’t pheromones spread faster? Does it mean I will have a group of cute guys running next to me on the track? Hehe… just my wishful thinking 🙂 . I wonder what kind of experiences people have had in the gym and whether it’s a good testing environment. ---

I am pretty sure that I had a happiness/euphoria self-effect from it, because about 20 minutes after opening the package I started feeling elated and happy. The feeling subsided over time, but overall lasted for a good couple hours. That scent when you open the package is normal. They spray the inside or the green bubble wrap with some Ishine so you get a elated feeling when you open it. Some pheromones can go stinky in a gym from sweat and bacteria but Ishine is not one of them so you should be good. They will diffuse quicker when you heat up. Remember the effect of Ishine doesn’t last all day. 3 to 6 hours tops. People do retain the feeling it evokes in them though even after it wears off. I think 2 to 3 sprays and you will pick up on more hits. Pay attention to mood changes as well if you can. Tisha ---

I wonder what kind of experiences people have had in the gym and whether it’s a good testing environment. That’s a good idea. You would think that if your skin heats up, molecules evaporate from your skin faster and diffuse at a higher rate. You would think. You should try it and keep us posted! ---

Quick update before I forget everything that happenned in the past few days. Monday: IO x2, 2 sprays on the neck, and Scent of Eros. (meant to wear IS x2 but mixed up the bottles accidentally). Covered with a sweet vanilla-scented body spray. Since I have finished a big project that day and was feeling generally good about myself, I dressed up nicely and did my make up differently (also turned out good) - I would consider these confounding factors when it comes to getting hits. The potential hits that day: 1. Girl in Starbucks was very chatty - we went to school together long ago, and usually exchange a few words when we see each other, but this time was longer than normal. She also complemented my look. 2. At work, one of my coworkers told me twice that I look very good and we had a great time chatting, but then again we always do. 3. Met up with my man, and - this was perhaps the closest to what I would consider a real hit - he shared a few pretty personal things out of nowhere. I would say that overall, this time was not very much different from our average encounter. Tuesday: IS x2, two sprays on the neck. The potential hits: I was training a girl, and we had a lot of free time in between different parts of the training, so we talked quite a bit. It was the first time I’ve met her though, so it’s tough to tell whether she was just being social, or whether the pheromones did something. Wednesday: No pheromones (also, no make-up, very underslept and tired, not loking or feeling sexy at all). The potential hits: There is a very cute guy in a class I’m taking. He happenned to be in the same car on the subway ride to the class, and he approached me (even though we’ve never really talked in class before), and we chatted on the way to class. He also set next to me when we got there, even though there were plenty other spaces, and usually people spread out. He usually sits quite in one specific place at the back of the class, but this time he sat at the very front next to me. Thursday: IS x2, two sprays on the neck. Covered with the vanilla body spray. Potential hits: The whole day went by on a high note. Felt pretty good overall. Had one random person talk to me. Had three great social encounters (coworkers, then friends, then coworkers again). They were all very good, although they usually are with these people. By the last one, I don’t think I had any pheromones left on me, since it was way more than 6 hours later. The only notable thing is that with my two friends, I’ve felt a lot more alpha-ish (I suppose that would be the most appropriate term to descrive it) than I normally would. Not sure if that’s ever an IS effect hehe. Still haven’t made it to gym, though! But tomorrow is the day! 😃
