Blows dust off phero membership Hey guys, been away for a while, but I’m ready to throw myself into the fray with a new delivery of pheros. Spaceland hitched a ride on this order, saturated the package and then the whole of my place with a funky flower-power, make-love-not-war, hippie odour that’s jumped straight out of the '60s. I could almost hear it say, “Peace, dude. Rock on. How about we go for a ride?”
The package wasn’t wet and the bottle was full, so no leak. All pheros arrived intact. But wow, whoa, does this stuff smell stronger than a room full of bad tempered skunks!
So, lets test this little visitor from out there, and I got the feeling it probably came from a little further out there than just jumping across the pond.
After an hour in the company of this little chemical wonder, I started to feel a little spaced out - literally. Going for a ride with this stuff probably isn’t the best thing to do. I was definitely feeling light-headed and found myself grinning like a loon at every slightly weird thought or quip that crossed my mind. Thank the goddess of pheros, I was alone at the time, or anyone passing would have thought I’d dropped a few marbles. You OK, bud? What’s so damned funny? No, strike that, what’s that funk?
So I just let the little bottle sit there for one night by the bed with the rest of its fellow pheros. Didn’t even have to spray the stuff; I could smell it all night long. I drifted off to sleep thinking of psychedelics, 60s chart hits, outrageous fashions and the era of free lovin’. Dreams were a lot more vivid than usual, more colourful, although nothing spectacular.
By the end of the night, it had burned away and I had to get up close to smell anything. The other bottles held their secrets well and refused to let even the smallest hint of scent run riot until I popped the cover. LOVE the Akuto on the latest A314. Love it.
The second day was on a weekend, so no office. I wouldn’t want to try wearing this to the office, it isn’t an “office” smell. So I went for a walk wearing it and walked straight past a police van. Oops. Here’s someone smelling like something that, if you wanted to be a suspicious cop, smells very hippie and very “suspicious”. Fortunately, the cops were in the bakers ordering lunch, but one law enforcement officer wasn’t. A deep bass growl started coming from the back of the van and a furry head appeared at the back window. A canine unit. He either didn’t like me or the pheros and started to “sing”. Crap. I quickly walked past before the cops came out and the mutt exploded into a frenzy of barking.
His handler came out. A cute brunette lady, late 20s, fills out her uniform very well, who, if I wasn’t so bothered about her recognising her canine partner’s “singing” and frantic barking for, “That guy smells funny! Let me at him!”, I would have locked eyes, maybe a grin and stopped for a chat. But no, I lost myself in the crowd before she could zero the source of the funk. Paranoia? Possibly. But I was taking no chances with the dog trying his level best to get some very sharp toothy handcuffs on my arms.
No effect on the crowd I passed through, btw.
The second night, I sprayed it on for a second time that day. 1 full spray only. Any more and I notice a dull headache starting. I noticed that my cat doesn’t care for it and leaves the room whenever I wear it. He wasn’t sleeping on my chest in the morning as he has done since he was a kitten. The spray was on my neck below the jaw. I woke up that night with a heavy nose bleed that I don’t believe was coincidence. Keeping it away from my face in future.
Spaceland had mutated into a sticky, off-smelling gunk on my neck by morning though, and I jumped in the shower to wash it off before heading to the racetrack with my buddies. No Spaceland that day. Throwing cars around a tight bend at 100 mph is not a good test for Spaceland’s noticed effects, but I’ll continue testing it in less dangerous situations.
