Hi, everyone!..
After a week of trying pheros I think it’s time for a small report. 
Waiting for my order was… painful. It took it a whole week to clear Canadian customs(a week and a very annoyed DHL lady) and I just couldn’t wait to get my new toy.
Before I get to my actual testing and reactions, I feel I need to mention something that might be useful to another newbie like me.
Before I ordered my pheros I spent a couple of days going through these forums - and it was just so confusing, reading multiple success stories along with the 'they do not work!" posts. I know, many threads are made specifically for newcomers, explaining what to expect and how it all works, but now I understand why one might not see the effect.
It’s been said before - pheromones work with subtlety. I mean, hits are hits, but there is so much more that can be missed so easily. For example - the self-effect of Instant Shine for me. The transition between the not-so-good mood to great felt so natural… that only looking back I can tell that there was no reason for it besides pheromones.
My general goal for now is to improve social interaction, so my order was all social pheromones - Instant Shine, IH and IO(all 2x strength in to-go) - and a free CTTM - and a toblerone bar(thank you so much!).
Of course, being the impatient n00b that I am I simply couldn’t follow good advice and try pheromones separately and gradually… so this week is pretty much a mess and I’m going to be trying everything from the scratch - later. 
This is my introduction thread, in which I explained my reasons for trying pheromones: Greetings from BC
Since I’m mostly interested in getting reactions from two certain men, I’m going to use them a lot in my ‘reports’ and call them B(friendly one) and C(intimidating one).
1st day
1 Instant Shine spray to my neck before I left for school, took it and CTTM with me.
Of course, at this point I was expecting miracles. 
But no one tried to eat shiny-me on the bus or skytrain. I had a couple of hours before the class - so applied the second spray right before the lesson’s beginning.
That, I dare say, was a definite hit. This class is normally very informal and not quiet, but it got so damn loud! Everyone laughing and talking at once - wow! The effect didn’t last very long though. There I need to mention I was feeling sleepy before I left home - Instant Shine made me alert alright, but after three hours my head started getting heavy again. By this time I was sitting next to B, watching him doing something on his PC. It got quiet and so boring. I went out, sprayed one spray of CTTM to my neck, came back - and wow again - seconds later we’re talking and I’m wide awake and laughing my sweet bump off! Made me go 
.
2nd day
Second day was bizarre, to say the least. I won’t go into the situation and details, as I’m not even sure I can attribute the events to pheromones.
I wore 1 Instant Shine spray to my neck before I left again, and took IO and IH with me. Applied IO after I arrived at school - went to C’s class. C was very friendly - definitely friendlier than usual. Not really in a talk more way, but nicer.
Then… I’m not sure. I think IH might have a weird effect on me - either that or it was just one of these days. A minor displeasing thing happened just after I applied it(before heading for B’s class) and I got so bitchy. Surprised myself. Seriously, I just don’t react like that. And while I was still having a mental dialog with myself on a ‘why are we so angry again?’ - B came to apologize. And the way his apology was delivered… I mentioned in my introduction that I want more flirting, well - that made my jaw drop. Holy crap. That practically constitutes a sexual harassment case!
I’m not sure if it was pheros, cosmos or somebody got hit on the head, but boy that was fun. And weird.
3rd day
Less eventful - thankfully.
Wore the usual 1 Instant Shine spray upon leaving, later used 2 sprays of IH twice(every 4 hours).
Pretty sure being called ‘honey’ and having my hand held by B is a hit. 
More importantly, after having C stand over my shoulder for a couple of minutes got into a short, but very important conversation with him - on a subject I’ve been thinking about bringing up for months.
4th day
Wore 1 spray of IH(renewed with another 3 hours later).
A somewhat negative - and honest - response I got from C made me understand that I’m being way too clingy and it’s time for some space.
Felt gloomy after processing this, but one spray of Instant Shine to my face at home mostly fixed the bad mood.
That’s generally it for now. Sorry for all the melodrama - I know, for using social pheromones, I’m kind of ignoring reactions from other(than B and C) people, but priorities are priorities.
The weather was cold and rainy all the time, and classes are very cold, but as I’m normally close to my ‘targets’, exposure should be alright.
On a different note - I LOVE the smell of pheromones. Neroli smell is definitely on a manly side, and I wasn’t too excited about it on the first try. Smells are very important to me in general - and as soon as I caught the musky scent under the Neroli - couldn’t stop sniffing my fingers. XD
This ends my rant and there will definitely be more to come. Beware.
