I’ve been using pheros for about a month. I’m working on a Doogie Howser-type journal every night at home on usage and events throughout the day and here’s what I see so far:
1st Week: Went totally nuts on Instant Shine. Truly instantly noticeable in self and others. Went from initially slightly revolted at neroli scent, but quickly grew to really like it. For me, definitely has a good effect, lightening moods. Once I could have almost sworn I had a halo effect, like there’s literally a spotlight on me, and was feeling like a movie star.
After this, I alternated every day, using one or two in combination each day, although I allow one day a week to make a combination that experienced users have had success with, which isn’t productive in learning anything with. It’s hard to resist, being a newbie.
A314 definitely has an effect. One or two drops is best. Turned a curmudgeony ex-military guy at work into a meek guy around me, who’s now treating me almost like a son, even though I rarely have worn it since. Definitely gets deference shown to you.
Ammunition: One woman I know breathes it in and kind of sighs whenever I wear it around her, and compliments the scent. I’ve been using it sparingly.
MX143 not worn much, no effect noticed
MX178 - tested this a few times, haven’t noticed anything one way or another.
P74: One day it made me extremely talkative (extremely odd for me), has a kind of instant shine effect. I say that because I notice that P74 and Instant Shine, each separately, seem to make me very vain. I get entranced looking dreamily into the mirror, and almost swoon. Gives happiness and confidence, as far as I notice.
Instant Female Magic:nothing to report yet.
TAF: used a few times in varying amounts of sprays. Can’t say I noticed anything conclusive.
Spaceland: Smells like quality tea leaves to me. Someone asked me if I was taking cold medicine. I like it quite a lot, although the self-effect is not as extreme as I expected. I like so far, but will need to use a cover scent if I wear around others (but I love the smell).
I had an interview at a pretty prestigious place, used 2 drops of A314, two sprays of Instant Shine to hair, and 2 sprays of P79 (even though I haven’t tested it by itself yet). I did great and got the job (I had interviewed at that place before and, sans pheros, didn’t get it). I had three simultaneous interviewers (as last time), but the mood was lighter, and my humor (normally awkward) was on target.
