I’ve tried IS 4x strength multiple times, including once with 3 sprays to try and get self effects. Haven’t felt anything right away like some people ☹. I’ve read a few posts that have people saying that they gradually feel it over time though, and I’m inclined to believe that this may be the case with me, though I’m going to do some further testing. Looking forward to what others say. ---

[Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) makes me walk around with a big ole kool aid smile. If I add Instant gentleman to the mix the smile changes to an _ **" I know something you don’t know"** _ smirk. ---

IS makes me spacey sometimes. If applied where I can smell it a lot, my heart can start to pound really fast. Also, I almost always get a heavy crash whenever I use shine, about 4-6 hours after application. ---

Like Rhuang, I get the self-effects but also crash after 3 or 4 hours. I’m going to try it on wrists or elbows instead of neck, in the hopes that I can avoid the self-effects, and the crash. ---

IS makes other people more friendly. Their body language suddenly becomes much more obvious and different to what I had perceived before. I generally recieve positive receptions but there was an almost… Subtle exaggeration that I can swear is subconcious on the part of the subjects. Its like, they are more positive. The awareness of this is highlighted in my own perception. At first, I would have to say it was a little uncomfortable because I was learning how to adjust to this new kind of attention and body queues. The adjustment doesn’t take long. There is a sense of well being, of being uninhibited, and not particularly caring about what the other humans are doing or thinking, and yet being able to observe it almost from a detached perspective. Cognitive awareness is not diminished in any way. It almost feels a little amped up. I am finding I am less distracted by the other humans. 😛 . ---

I’ve gone through a couple 30ml bottles, including the 2X strength, and a couple togos, and have never felt a thing. Nuttin’. No high. No crash. Zip. Not much in terms of target reactions either. I recently sprayed some on my GF and she claimed it gave her a headache and immediately took off the shirt she was wearing because it stank from the IS. For some reason I’ve had obvious target responses from TAA spray, although TAA oil was rather feeble. TAA spray isn’t great as a standalone but partners well with horny moans like PheroProof and NPA. Also helps propel heavy androstenol doses into overdrive. ---

> [@Gegogi](#): > > I recently sprayed some on my GF and she claimed it gave her a headache and immediately took off the shirt she was wearing because it stank from the IS. I got the same “self” effect. The first reactions were terrible. The smell was like a mix of horse urine and some old sweaty socks. It really gave me a headache! My GF also told me that I stink (she does not know that I am trying pheros). But now after really pushing myself to use it, it doesn’t stink that bad anymore. I am still new to pheros and I am still trying to figure out whether they work or not. After some weeks of usage I must admit that I have yet not found any positive reactions. ---

> [@moose](#): > > The smell was like a mix of horse urine and some old sweaty socks. Really? Was it neroli scented? Wow that’s totally different from mines and my friends reactions. We all liked the smell, as it is friendly and non offensive when it dries down. Wow, so different from how we all saw it. ---

I get self effects with 2 or more sprays, always in a good mood and happy. Haven’t tried more than 4 yet. ---

Also, I almost always get a heavy crash whenever I use shine, about 4-6 hours after application. How much IS do you put on at once? I’ve experienced phero crash/headache, but don’t consider this to be ODing since [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) that you wear are not natural and it should be expected for your body to have some sort of reaction. I just got IS, so just curious what dosage you were using. ---

I get effects from it. I like to huff the spot where I sprayed it and it puts a smile on my face. Almost outta shine tho.. but I have a bottle of TAA (the main ingredient in shine without buffers) and that stuff has had me cheesing like crazy today haha ---

IS makes me a bit more chirpy. But I do remember a couple of times when I was first starting when I got some bad effects from it. I think it’s a thing everyone goes through - as others have reported it too. I felt down and just bleh. But I haven’t come across that again. ---

I’ve experienced phero crash/headache, but don’t consider this to be ODing since pheromones that you wear are not natural and it should be expected for your body to have some sort of reaction. I just got IS, so just curious what dosage you were using. Well if I apply it where I can reallly smell it, one spray of 1x is all I need to start feeling like that. When I spray it just below my neck, I constantly smell it since my shirt is always ‘fanning’ the pheros toward my nose. I used to get really bad crash like 4-6 hours after application.. and it happens very suddenly. That was one of the reason I stopped using IS for some while. But eventually those self-effects will become less noticeable/non-existent. ---

I seem to get the self-effects after 30 minutes or so- but the effects can be subtle. I think others do get affected and are happier around me. The smell is great in my opinion- I also will smell my hands or shirt to get a whiff of it sometimes. However, the crash does occur and its within a couple of hours- makes me really sleepy- not depressed or unhappy though. I use 2 sprays of 2x. IS is added to all my mixes- for no other reason than to make others happier, minimally. ---

The first times I used it was like **WOW!!** So naturally the next bottle I got was the 2x strength. Then at the end of that bottle my self-effects faded and I started to think “_What’s up, is this bottle not as good as the one I had before…_” Then I ordered another 1x bottle and I noticed that I still did get results from it, from others, but not as much self-effects as I used to… But now I’m using the 4x strength at 1 spray, and I do notice self-effects but they are definitely not the Wow-sensations I had the first times. And I do notice effects on others around me, so I am still very happy with the IS product 🙂 [Next page](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/self-effects-with-instant-shine/189907.md?page=2)
