It’s too light, I like deep musk but with complexity. ---

maybe if you use twenty sprays its bad, but i see nothing wrong with the scent. best smelling stuff is ammo by far. ---

i got a solution all products should be bought unscented. it doesnt take long to find the offensive odors, then cover with your own perfume. neroli scent best covered with cool water. Best cover for 90% of neroli products green irish tweed by creed. costs alot but you get what you pay for. if you use green irish tweed without [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) you “will” get complements. then use green irish tweed with pheromones, difficult to tell are they getting closer to you because of green irsh tweed or the ammo you have on. but how cares at that point. Green Irish Tweed by Creed or something from FLORIS. Both rich gentlemens scent, that go well with that bespoke “Poole” suit. I prefer Floris number 89, fragrance worn by HRH prince Charles, Ian Fleming and ficitional James Bond 007. Try them. ---

Put on my first spray… I think it smells wonderful. The top note is better than most any top note you could find in a department store. ---

We’ll never sell consumer products that are unscented, much like Apple won’t sell anything without a power cord, until the world gets a lot more sophisticated. [Human pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) really need the animal type musk molcules (real or synthetic) to give them more reach. Animals molecules travel a long distance, human don’t. Also, a lot of human pheromones kind of stink. Human pheromones without some sort of masking scent aren’t very consumer friendly in the “just works” sort of way. If you’re very scent savvy, though, I agree – get 'em unscented and roll your own. That Floris stuff sounds mighty fancy, and so does the way you talk about it. Are you English? ---

Reminds me a lot of this docco I saw on TV a few nights ago. They were showing how different things taste different to different people, and how things like expectations, smell, colour, etc, can change ones taste. Plus the minor differences in the development in taste buds and (I imagine the smell receptors) that cause people to taste (or smell) things differently. Just a thought. ---

I like IShine smell, but I think mx203 smell is the one I prefer the most out of any of the products at the store believe it or not i actually like CTTM smell as well, there is something about that one I am not sure that really smells very good ---

I drenched myself with the last five shots of my bottle today. In the face, no less… strait on about 6 inches away from my nose. I almost passed out, and had trouble walking… Now I’ve got a killer headache but I wouldn’t take it back. And just thinking of the smell makes me want to do cartwheels… this stuff is most effective on me. I might even be hypersensitive. ---

Reading most of these replies I see that most of the negative comments come from women and most of the guys, including me like it. Negative comments I’ve received from women include germoline (antiseptic ointment) and solder (reminding her of a dead uncle. Still slept with her and not sure how I feel about that, but expecting socks for Christmas) Negative comments about IFM include ‘burnt paper’! When the poll is finally closed, maybe a script could be run on the data to split male/female opinion? Antiseptically yours, ---

I like wearing a mix, which is differently daily. Some times, I’d sit down and get a whiff of the pheros and it just makes me feel good lol! ---

I love the smell , infact I am using it as a snuffbox ..lol I am addicted to it 😛 Btw I would like to add , that some girl loved the smell incredibly , she said I remind her of home. Later on as the coversation progressed I said the I was cooking some delicacies today , to that she said no wonder you are smelling different today. I mean she loved the smell but the example she gave was pretty weird , any explanations on that one.
