> [@1Alpha](#): > > Huh?!!?? A314 already?! Yes, that is fast! 🙂 > > The scent package is for diffusion. Good Idea to give it a go and see what type of hits you get… 1Alpha, quick question for you. When using IS in combination with either Ammo or A314, is there a right way of using it? In other words, is it better to first apply A314 or Ammo and then layer it with IS? Or the other way round? Or does it not matter? ---

IS smells awesome, probably my favorite smelling pheromone ---

Just let the first application dry down a bit before the next mone. Better yet, if you can apply to a different patch o’ skin… do that! @ H.N. Ichiros - I like the IS scent, [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/)! I’m in a agreement!! 🙂 Personally, i also prefer the Akuto or Chocolatini.

[Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) is awesome! But maybe some people do have problems with it being overpowerful or smelling bad on them because of their natural pheromone balance pre-shine. Otherwise, I can’t imagine what’s wrong with them. 😉 ---

I LOVE the smell of [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/). IMO it’s the best smell of all of the products.😃 ---

85% of a sample size out of nearly 600 plus voters can’t be wrong. IS good smelling excellence. How can you possibly go wrong! BUY BUY BUY!\* \*This advertisement broad to you by the CMS (Council for More Shine) 😉 ---

I think it smells great, and so does one of my female friends. However, I let one of my male friends smell it, and he thought it was OK at best. ---

I had headaches when I wore it. I tried mine 3 times; 1 spray each time (wrist, neck, chest). It also gave headache to a female I was with. She said “now I have a headache.” I wore IS with 2 spray reg. AMMO. The other lady never paid attention to me whatsoever – but when I’m not wearing phero, I get all hits from lady AND when I wear Ammo by itself (2 sprays) the hits are even better. As if she can’t stop looking at me and giving me smiles. I don’t know what to do with my IS, so far I’ve only used 3 sprays. I would want to trade it with IO. ---

i absolutely love instant shine. The smell is great and subsides quickly leaving only a subtle hint. But people always seem to be nicer. It is great. a win win situation. PLus i know when the ladies come in close I dont have to worry but instead know that they might pick up on this vapor gold 🙂 ---

Thank you for the tip 1Alpha! I will give one more try of IS at the back of the neck so I won’t smell it and people that around me get a subtle smell of it. Also I forgot that it makes me lethargy and somewhat depressed (I would rate the depression 2, 10 being the most). ---

[Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) is my favorite scent. I’ve only tried Akuto,ff21,ff20 and the new Ammo 2012 scent though. I wish that AD would offer the 2012 ammo scent or akuto as standard on the Ammo for people like me who absolutely cannot stand the regular Ammo smell. It is also the only scent that makes me break out so I have a full 30 ML and a to-go I can’t even use.I really dislike how you have to pay so much for a fragrance change when in reality it can’t be costing them more than a dollar.But yeah,Neroli is amazing! ---

No I have not. They’re both about 2.5 years old now and I’m keeping ahold of them for no other reason except to look at every now and then and to remind myself of what a hideous scent it has. I actually wasn’t aware of the trading post until yesterday. I might just throw them up there and give them away if someone wants to cover shipping. Thanks for the suggestion. > [@1Alpha](#): > > Have you tried to put it up for sale on the Trading post? > > 1Alpha ---

Some may want to swap it for other molecules that you may want… 🙂 If you want to keep a reminder of the FF21 scent, keep the Togo! 😉 > [@tanuki1980](#): > > No I have not.
