arney i wish you could but i think it only comes by the oz bud. just hypothetically what would putting on a mega dose of instant shine be like for visiting someone at hospital or going to a viewing or something along the depressive lines? ---

I have had good luck with other pheromones. I love A314! I got my first bottle of [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) a couple of weeks ago. I was looking forward to trying it. One day I was feeling a little slow and I thought maybe it would be just what I needed. I used two sprays. To me it had a sickeningly sweet citrus smell. I felt nauseated for hours. With that strong a reaction, I assume it was the pheromone as much as the scent I was reacting to. I was so disappointed. Iā€™ve read so many good reports on the forum that made IS sound perfect for me. Iā€™m in my fifties so a little liquid adolescence might enhance my appeal. Eventually, Iā€™ll screw up the nerve to try again. (I really felt miserable.) In the meantimeā€¦ Has anyone else had this kind of reaction? Any suggestions? Anything I might be doing wrong? ---

The first few times I used Ishine I had to take a nap after a couple of hours. The effect goes away for most people after a few uses. ---

I love the smell and the sef-effect. Unless I am trying something new, or a custom mix, [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) has become a staple for me. ---

I find it needs a bit of cover. It doesnā€™t smell bad, just a bitā€¦ unusual. Then again, I am legendary for both my very low natural BO (women love my natural smell), and my extremely low tolerance for bad smells, so Iā€™m bloody picky. ---

i just got my first batch of pheroā€™s and IS is one of them. i found its smell to be like any basic menā€™s cologne a la Aqua di Gio. pleasant and comforting, a little too basic by my standards, but still as good as any olā€™ cologne. deff not bad smelling. i also think the other to-goā€™s smell pretty much the same, basic menā€™s cologne scent. very sticky and long lasting. im happy with the smell, now i just need to start my testing šŸ™‚ ---

I love the smell personally, and so far its my favorite pheromone. šŸ˜ƒ Iā€™ve only tested ammo, [Instant Honesty](https://a314.com/product/instant-honesty/) and IFM. And I wasnā€™t really in a very good mood when I tried ammo out so I really canā€™t say for sure if Iā€™ll like it betterā€¦but I do know that my day goes better with instant shine. I just spray 1 or 2 sprays of the double strength to-go size on my chest and my mood is elevated for the day. Iā€™m more talkitive and Iā€™m more approachable because more people talk to me. I plan on ordering a full size bottle when I get my next paycheck. Hope I didnā€™t go off-topic but yeaā€¦I love the smell. ---

Just got my first order of [pheromone products](https://a314.com/shop/) this past Tuesday which included Instant Shine. Iā€™ve been testing IShine this past two days. Anyway, Iā€™m not one to use cologne in the past so Iā€™m not sure what type of smell IShine has, but it is not offensive to me at all. First day I only had one spray of regular strength, and 2nd day 2 sprays, and so far everyone I encounter at work donā€™t show any signs of repulsion by the smell. For me personally though, whatever the cologne like smell it has, it is kind of strong since Iā€™m not used to wearing any cologne at all. I think 2 sprays might be the max I can handle myself. Even with 1 spray I can still smell it 12 hours later on my wrist. Over all though I like the smell and can live with it. ---
