The controversial smell of Instant Shine

The smell just reminds me of my grandmother, and it repels my girlfriend :frowning:

To me, it smells a bit like pee. :frowning:

agreed. the only other product that smells even more is IFM, but nobody seems to notice but me…

I love the smell. I recently got my first order of Ammo, IS, and IO, and I love how I smell after applying each/all of them.

I was so concerned about covering the scents until I actually tried them. Smells good, yet manly!

Smells citrusy to me. However I feel this sent in my nose more than any other. Don’t know what thats about.

Wanted to add my .02. I thought I had posted twice last night must have been really tired from being up so late. I don’t have any problem with I/S. I received a TOGO bottle that is a clear plastic as a nifty gifty, (Thanks Jacob!) and it may just be my imagination but it seems to smell slightly diff from the silver I/S bottles that I had received before. Once the fragrance dissipates you are left with a very natural human smelling carmel smell that I have noticed on people before that is very delicious. The only product that I have noticed that I found in the least objectionable is I/O which I had mentioned in a previous post. After the fragrance dies down on I/O there is an odor that I had described as smelling like cat piss. I’ve successfully managed to cover the scent, (to my satisfaction anyway with either AcDiGio or Claiborne for men), but if you’re covering the scent aren’t you negating the effectiveness? Unfortunately AcqDGio dissipates off me fairly quickly, (Claiborne is a little better). Noticed a little bit in the Spaceland TOGO I received today as well. Picked up CTTM2 as a replacement for the I/O and so far am fine with the scent.

maybe i got a super awesome mix of IS because i was sniffing my wrists all day after spraying it on myself… the smell was like an angel farted in my nostrils

I’m kind of indifferent to IS. I don’t mind the smell, but I dont like it as much as IJ either. As far as the onions thing is concerned, I’ve never gotten that smell from IS, but I have gotten it after wearing 2 sprays of Spaceland for about 6 hours and then getting a big workout in. I didn’t notice it, but my brother walked into our apartment and asked me why it smelled like onions lol.

I really like the smell. A bit masculine at first, but in a good way. Not a floral. A light musk with a hint of kaffir lime leaf is what it smells like on me. Also, when it dies down reminds me of my youth when Jovan Musk was the rage. I had a something from Avon I used to use called Soft musk. Thats what it reminds me of.

im confused folks

so to some it smells like piss to some it smell like awsomeness in bottle. so that means to some poeple u would spell very bad and others good?

Yes but in those cases thats why we mix things, am I right? the other pheromones buffers the less desirable ones so its more acceptable.

Anyways, you can tell the ones that like it lol

a friend of mine who referred me to this forum has IS and i have to say i really like the smell for some reason. Smells like oranges to me lol

i lean more towards the onion smell. it’s not unbearable though

I like it. I’m sure it was hit on earlier in the whole thread but I am sure that some people don’t like it because people’s chemistry are different. It settles well on me, but only ONE person says she doesn’t like it, but that was actually after she got prego, so I am sure that has something to do with it as I always wore it around her to begin with. Everyone else always seems to comment on how good I smell.

I got mine as a free gift (thank you!!) so I assume it is the Neroli scent. I found it delightful. Not too sweet, a little exotic and I only used as little spray at home (just to make sure it wasn’t awful before I wore it out in public) and it seemed to have good staying power. I plan to try to choclatini scent in whatever I decide to try out next…

Instant Shine has a masculine scent, I really like the smell. It’s light enough and not alarming at all.:slight_smile:

A gal sitting next to me during an x-mas party said on 3 occassions “something smells spicey” There were just cookies and wine on the table.

lol me my first impression of IS was “this smells like women!” :slight_smile:

Beckham instict is insane. So many uses for it.

That and Chrome Legend are some of my favs - good to hear that you have had success with Beckham Instinct as im about to purchase a few pheromones to try.

I love the smell and everyone around me loves it, too. Without knowing what it is, of course…
