1) Products Used/Dosage:
Ammo / x 2 sprays
IO / x 2 sprays
IH / x 2 sprays
IS / x 2 sprays
IJ / x 1 spray
2) Purpose of Application: Trying to determine a good party mix with the products I’ve got to work with. Meeting with friends whom I have not seen in a while, as well as new people.
3) Application Point(s):
Ammo / x 2 sprays on each side of chest
IO / x 2 sprays each backsides of wrists/forearm
IH / x 2 sprays each wrist area
IS / x 2 sprays, 1 in hair, 1 in back of neck
IJ / x 1 spray at throat area
4) Self Effects: smelled like i spilled a whole bottle of cologne on me. Smell of ammo was still quite prominent, despite of other neroli based products used. Felt pretty good and put me into a “sociable” mood.
5) Locations, Venues: Train, Outdoor restaurant (barbeque style)
6) Environmental Conditions:
80-85°F - slight wind, rained later that evening
5) Reactions, Effects, “Hits”:
On the train ride over to the location, just got the typical indifferent looks from the Japanese locals when they see a “gaijin” (foreigner) on the train. We went as a pretty big group.
When we reached the party, I got a couple looks from young Japanese women, but none that could probably interpreted as an IOI. "
One of my African American friends opened up to me and told me about a relationship he had that didn’t work out. This guy is usually quiet and reserved, but he seemed to open up to me with no problems at all. I can probably attribute this to IO/IH.
A Caucasian male (late twenties) in our group who was a mutual friend of another friend of mine decided to approach me and introduce himself. We work for the same company, but different sections. Throughout the engagement, he was very chatty and quite friendly, again IO/IH combo?
A Hispanic American female in her late 20s, early 30s who recently transferred to Japan also approached me and introduced herself. Her words to engage in conversation went something like this “I’ve seen you hanging around and I don’t think I know you. I decided that I had to meet you.” (not sure what her exact words were, since I was already drunk during that time, but i definitely remember her saying the underlined part). That in particular stood out to me, because I’ve never had that effect on anyone before.
On two different occasions she also tried to get close to me, almost brushing up against me. One of the times was when I was talking with a friend, she seemed to want to join the conversation. Another time was when it started raining and we all took shelter under an awning. This I won’t really count as a hit, but I’ll record anyway.
On the train ride back, I made eye contact with a young Japanese female and smiled. She seemed to hold the eye contact for a short moment and smiled back at me, then shift her gaze to the female friend she was with. When I exited the train at my stop, she gave me another look.
6) Summary/Other observations:
I would say this mix was pretty successful. The shot of IJ could have added the extra spark to complete this mix, but I’m not sure. I’ve noticed a lot of people say that Asians in particular are quite sensitive to “nones”. I’ve yet to determine this by personal experiences. The hit with the Hispanic American female though was quite legit, although this would need further testing. I had P74 (Akuto fragrance, 15 mcg), but hesitated on adding it into this mix in fear that the varying scents would be too much. I’m not sure if this would have made a difference, but heard from many that P74 is quite the social putative. Perhaps I’ll include it at the next social gathering.
I’d like to dub this mix I used as the “Attention-getter”.
