I like the smell off IS and often sniff my wrists, But AMMO I find is better. Cheers ---

I just ran out of shine. I didn’t think I was using it very much, but now I remember that I was experimenting with it quite a bit 2 months ago. I used up the bottle by mega-dosing at a party I went to. We were playing a really intense game, and some people were getting frustrated and angry with each other. I was already wearing 60mcg. When things got really tense, I popped into the bathroom and added another 60. I must have smelled like I had just taken a swim in a mimosa lake. Soon after I came back, the bad mood completely changed. People decided, “This isn’t worth getting frustrated over, we’re just gonna let things happen as they may.” They even started to make jokes about things instead of being mad. It was great! We didn’t finish the game because it got pretty late and people needed to go home, but we all left on a positive note instead of being out for blood. I used to think that IS was a little forced when I wore it, a bit incongruent. Like I was being pressured into being cheery when I didn’t want to be. I’m not really the bubbly sort, more pleasantly mellow. But now I see that it can pacify tense situations, regardless of my personality. Nice little weapon to keep around. Guess I should order some more. ---

I like the smell, IS is usally what i use up first of all my mones. It’s a good product to mix with others so it always get’s used a litle 😃 3x ammo on the other hand is a bit strong.. Maybe its just because i have the old version 2.5 years old 😛 IJ alsow has a nice cool sent, i think AMMO and TUTH is the ones my nose react strongest too A314 is very nice. Is it possible one does not like the smell because that type does not work well with that person? since everyone has difrent effect with mones etc? ---

IS isn’t too bad, not as bad as the smelly IO I have, scent drys up nicely and is fine. I use Ammo with my mones a lot to act as a cover usually. ---

my co-workers cannot stand the smell of IH, or IS. ---

IS gives off an almost androgynous feel to me, I quite like it but can see how maybe it might be a bit weird during daytime/work/etc. Sort of reminds me of glitter and unicorns ---

It’s not that bad. It lessens the cologne strength scented Ammo a bit, so that’s why I like to wear it in combo with it. By itself after some hours, I start to get ticked off on the smell as it’s still lingering. ---

Each and every time I smell [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) I get this strange fluttering feeling in my heart - It’s not unpleasant, just strange! Being the first product I had used, I put this down to the pheromones. However, when I purchased P74 in Neroli scent, in the back of my mind, I assumed I would have the same fluttering sensation.. But I didn’t. Since then, no other product in Neroli scent has given me the same physiological feeling! I love the smell of Neroli, and IS smells identical, to me, to every other product using the Neroli scent, so I find it amazing how unquestionable the physical effects of IS are. ---

I want to change my answer. IS has sort of an orange candy smell, and I don’t like it very much. ---

I love the smell of instant shine. The scent makes me feel carefree and happy. That’s probably just the self effects though. I just love IShine anyway ☺ ---

I tried getting my best friend involved with pheromones. First phero I gave him was IShine. His response to the smell? “I wish I could LIVE in this stuff.” ---

mmmm, i have to admit IS is one of my favourites, definetely top 3 for me. i give you sometimes it swings moods, but response from others always have been pretty much on my face. the smell doesnt particularly bother me, hence i find it has an agrume undertone which makes it not so annoying in the end. may be because it reminds me of my land, sicily. ---

[Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) smells alright. I prefer the scent compared to Ammo, although Ammo is okay too but I find that projection is stronger and you tend to smell it on you more often as the day progresses. ---

I am an Asian dude here. I have tried IS, AMMO and TUTH. Personally, I find that IS and TUTH works better for me. The light neroli scent does get me more attention than I would have expected. No complains here. IS is one of the safest bet that one can get. My current gf is addicted to me using TUTH. Gonna restock on IS and TUTH soon. ---

Instant shine is some pretty awesome stuff, but I usually add more DPG to make it last longer. The effects also seem a bit more natural and reduces the slight headache I get at times. I have a friend who starts getting straight silly once he gets in the IS cloud! ---

Great feedback on using DPG. I enjoy the IShine response in those around me, though, I’m a bit weary of the possible ‘crash’ that I get with regular use. The DPG is possible to reduce that issue in myself, thanks for sharing that point. 1Alpha > [@kingbaker](#): > > Instant shine is some pretty awesome stuff, but I usually add more DPG to make it last longer.
