***The game plan here is that once we figure out what the most effective and efficient mixes is in the pack we will release it as another MX to test on its own as a possible re-formatting of Instant Gentleman !

**How to Test: **

  • Spray like you would your usual cologne or perfume, on your usual pulse points.

  • This mix has been calibrated to work best at a two spray dosage. Start there but try everything.

  • We’re seeking to understand how the diffusion component works with the pheromonal molecule. At least once test with your usual cologne, so we can see how the diffusion technology we are testing works with cologne.

  • Spray. Let dry. Sniff. Does the smell remind you of anything? What do you notice yourself feeling?

What to Report:

We’re collecting data on a few parameters, which I’ll explain here.

Strength- How strong did you feel the effects? On yourself? On others? Did it hit you over the head, or was it more subtle?

Length of Effects - When did you notice the onset of effects? When did you notice the outset? When did it peak? When did it wane?

Tenacity - Tenacity refers to ?staying power?, or the aggressiveness of the cologne. Does it seem to “attack” people around you, or is it more of a “slow burner”? Does it seem like you can point your fume in one direction or another?

Effectiveness & Consistency - How effective is this mix on a scale of 1-10 (1 bad, 10 killer)? Have its effects been consistent over time?

Diffusion/Sillage - Sillage refers to your ?vapor trail?. Think of it like the wake of a ship. How many feet/meters is your vapor trail? Do people seem to follow your silage?

Other weird questions that help clarify:

If it were music, what would it sound like?
If it had a texture, what would it feel like?
If it were edible or drinkable, what would it taste like?
What celebrity or public figure is it most like?

Ask yourself these questions during and after you’ve gotten a good feel of this mix.

OK so heres a double shot.. MX401 and 402 - I want to be more to the point this time.

With MX401 the biggest notable social interaction pattern that happened a number of times is that military people would come out and ask me if I served. There was strong respect given from these people even though my answer was no, but they were drawn to me for some reason. I saw this after 2min of exposure and within 7feet of range. If I had to say what this reminded me of the most including my own internal feeling is close to P80.

Doing the mirror test and feeling my own self confidence I didn’t feel any significant change. I felt very objective and almost without emotion. I caught myself thinking why bother with my own confidence, does that matter right now? But it did matter…

At the gym, staff would always offer me a towel. Conversation was brief and usually insistent. As if they were offended that I declined needing one.

I got average responses from women, nothing out of the ordinary at the gym or social gatherings.

When playing poker with this on first with two sprays then an hour later 4 sprays in both instances I seemed to be ignored a lot by my good friends. Usually I am the center of attention or hold some level of respect to not be cut off in mid sentence ect. Definitely out of the ordinary, as if my vibe was polarized from the group.

Now MX402 was more interesting for me. People seemed to be more compelled to have conversation with me. It was more of a social respect vibe. At the gym, social gatherings, poker.. conversations happened. There was an instance where a shy friend at poker who rarely says a word got into a long conversation with me, it was good to see. If I had to name what was in this it reminds me of P74 and P95. Best results were at 3 sprays.

At the gym not only did the desk person insist I have a towel and given no option sometimes but there was some instances I’d be offered a tour of the gym! As if they were looking for a reason to talk with me.

There may have been some women orbiting me out of curiosity, I noticed this at about 15 feet away at the gym. But not enough to note anything substantial in this area.

When looking in the mirror I felt like porn star sexy, I was thinking to myself damn your doing good! This even earlier in the day when I’d feel a little down. I felt more urges to take pictures of myself when I wore this, its as if I had to catch the moment.

Finally in poker I was the center of attention, I had a much more welcomed vibe. When I first started using MX402 I did get that feeling P95 would give me, as I described being like Grand Marnier.. But it was more slight, so I think it could be in this but at lower dosages or something else is buffering it.

So out of the three I would say MX402 is my winner! Is it better then IG? Well lets just say the respect aspect is one notch lower then IG and the social aspect is one notch higher. Self effects are on par or lets say slightly less focused, but it makes it fun all the same :slight_smile:

I think I’m going to try one more test today for the IG test pack but I think I have them figured out. I had a chance to bring MX401 and MX402 to poker games and compare them to P95 as well. Very interesting. Have been sick for the past little while…

Well, I will continue to test this MX401. I wanted to continue ‘examining’ it’s how it affects others. I’ve been testing it at 2 sprays up to now, with a social inclination. Still, I want to see if I can squeeze more out of it!

I said, self, let’s try on 4 sprays! So, I did!

4 x MX401 - To each wrist and one to throat and one to back of neck.

I had slept well and was refreshed, ready for the day. I got up early to get some emails done. Then, I had to go and apply MX401.

Oops, I gotta go, I’ll continue this later! :slight_smile:

5

3 Days of the following application, with additional set @ 5 hours from initial application to the same application points:

2 x MX401 - 1 to the top of hand spread to other and 1 to wrist, same.

I’ve seen that this MX has some b-nol responses. I feel inclined to be on the care free side of things. Not interested in confrontation but if it does happen I try to quickly diffuse the situation.
I find that others have a view of me, more of a not too serious or to be taken seriously. With new people that I’ve met, I find that this MX causes them to be easily comfortable to be with me, however, my take charge, in control guy signal, suffers. I’m the guy who you feel good to be around… I just thought of it, the perfect FZ guy… Ewwwww…:frowning: I had to work at having others take me seriously (in the right context) but, for shooting the breeze and going out on a Saturday night… this MX would be fine. Light in it’s effects.
Even my A, was a somewhat more of a Sh’t testin’… that wasn’t fun… because I’d have to fight it out to get out of that corner!

It is what it is on me. I’ll be saving this MX as a stand in to my IShine and IO combo… basically, what it felt like!

I have several MX’s that I haven’t even tried out and I was hankerin’ to try something new… so, here is my MX401 testing.

2 x MX401 - 1 to the top of hand spread to other and 1 to wrist, same.

Short sleeve shirt, casual friday… :slight_smile:

I was feeling good this morning, well rested night sleep. I had a run with my dog, came back and fed her, got ready for work and applied my MX. I had the same perkiness that I get with IShine. I normally get my A’s coffee ready for her thermos and leave it on the counter, if she’s going to leave after me. She may still be in bed, as was the case on this day. After the MX, I noticed that I had to tell her… ‘I got your coffee ready… did you feel like 2 or 3 spoons of the brown sugar?’ When, I know, it will likely be 2… Yep, it was 2 and I finished setting up her coffee. I was feeling a bit more chipper after the MX application, within about 3 minutes of application. That’s when my yappin’ started. If A is in bed and the lights are out, at most, I’ll go in for a goodbye kiss and leave. But this MX was getting me more inclined to communicate, about little things it looks like. I also let her know the happening of this mornings outing… just, seemed like I needed to talk to her about it.

At work, @ 3 hours after application, I was a bit peeved with the ineptitude of others, including my supervisor, and though he realized it was his mistep(s), he was trying to brush it all to the field engineer in New York. I was remotely supporting him and another field engineer in Orange County, in CA. The super seemed to have that look about him that he needed to be better… to have my approval it seemed. This could also be the residual of A314 from previous exposures, but, this MX was making it easier for him to communicate to shift the blame onto others.

That feeling of being short tempered disipated easily after I resolved the crisis/issues. I was calm and at ease after about 5 hours of application working the problem from application time, hour 3 to 5. Around hour 6 I had re-applied to wrists, 1 spray.

Work day was fine after that.

Okays so here it is!

Thursday night I rocked
mx306, p74(20mcg), mx400
friend’s house
I was planning on going out out on Thursday night but ended up at my friends house. I honestly did not notice anything except that everyone seemed just a bit more respectful and words easily fell out of my mouth… I had a beer which shouldn’t do a thing to a 185lb 6’ft guy, so I can’t “blame it on the alcohol”. But I wasn’t timid like I usually am. The crowd I have been hanging out with isn’t my cup of tea…but they are friends with my best friend and when he isn’t here it doesn’t leave me with too many other options.
My thoughts: I think the more I wear the less I get. I’ve said this before but I am sticking to this from now on, only 1 or 2 things for sure!

Friday
Mx401
Meeting
Friday was a busy day, went to class and ran around campus to do work and workout before I had a 4 hour work training meeting. After my shower I was like “I haven’t really tested anything, I think I should get my butt moving before I get in trouble!” so I took a quick squirt of mx401 and covered it with a few sprays of Curve to get the cloud bigger.
I get to the meeting take a picture and sit down. This cute girl who I had training with saw me sat down right next to me. Her friend was a spot over so I think that could have influenced her sitting arrangement. She was talking to her friend and then started to add me to the convo. She bumped my arm and leg a few times and said sorry, but after that she would touch without saying a thing, and I was getting a bit confused, like the way like your girl friend sits next to you and just doesn’t mind the warmth of your flesh. We talked a bit more but that was the end it.
Thoughts: this is first time in a long time I’ve seen “noticeable” hits! I know and we all know that we all can’t see hits all the time, but not only were these hits, these were really positive “flirtatious” hits, something that I wasn’t anticipating! I am really happy with these results and can’t wait to try more of this.. if results remain the same I would like a fullsize bottle!

Yester day I tried MX401 for the first time. It was a typical August day in the mid Atlantic, humid, warm, and rainy inthe afternoon. I applied two sprays split between writs and neck, early in the day, and went to work. I didn’t notice any self effects. Not were there any apparent effects on others. I added a spray at lunch time to my neck. If anything this seemed to reduce my status just a little. People were polite, but the was no interest in engaging me even if I tried. I chalked it up to just being a bad day. It happens.

This morning I applied two sprays to my neck. The self effects if any were a slight loss of confidence or something. I went to the post office to get my passport renewed. I arrived 10 minutes early for the process time. I couldnt get them to Waite of me. I was told to come back and get in line. When being waited on, I was given an attitude of patience, but almost condescending . Even the people at work, showed a distinct lack of deference.

I went to the bath room and washed it off. I had the to go of A314. One shot, it was like a magic turn around. I might give this mix another shot. But not soon.

9

I couldn’t help but notice more that MX401 was way too social for my liking. It was nice, but it could be the same as like an IO/IH + IS mix, and I think it would give very similar results. It got to the point when most of my interactions were taking longert han I wanted them to, and I couldn’t quite get people to leave my desk.

It reminded me somewhat of a P97 type reaction.

I applied 2x to both sides of the neck, and interactions were between 1 hour to 3 hours after application.

Now this is the product I’m talking about, I liked 400 but its was to serious for my tastes, 401 is where it is at.

All ages of girls are (18-45)( hb 6-8)

I did two sprays to the neck today I felt in charge it was like a lighter more social version of A314. I was getting patted on the back by the higher ups and the social factors of IG. I was the cool guy in my department people where talking to me left and right, I almost could not keep up. It felt like every-time a problem came up they would go to me and not my boss.

As for the hits for the women, I was getting hits left and right. I had one lady in a sundress bend over and I basically saw everything, she looked back and me and gave me a big smile and turned beat red.

I had girls just staring at me today I’m not sure if it was DIHL or they were just in awe.

I had one girl look at me for 3-4 minutes while I was filling something I could feel her eyes watching me and i looked over and she left.

The biggest hit from today came from a girl named C she was from another store, now to say there was chemistry between us, it was obvious from the start.

We joked around and she would give me shit and I would give it back to her. I told her I’m off the next two days and she got sad and gave me a big hug and pushed her soft breasts right up against me so hard I could feel her whole lower body also against me. I felt her hand go in my apron and she smiled and said “maybe i will see you later.” I did not know what that meant until I felt a piece of paper in my apron it had her number and the name and number of her hotel room on it.

401… I think I love you

Alright so MX401 again at 2x to the neck in my office environment.

I still do feel the higher intimidation that this one has. I noticed it in some clients were they were more proper with me and normally it’s more of a laxed conversation. Even my co workers were pretty much backing off in terms of sociability but the likeability is still there just a bit more rigid.

12

So MX401 was semi interesting for today’s test. I think this one has a bit more of a serious overtone to it which isn’t the warmth that IG normally has. It’s not as off putting as it is more hesitant than normal. In terms of the respect vibe it’s closer to A314 in my opinion but not quite there yet.

I think also that people would be more nervous around you and would try to cater to your agenda rather than there’s because of the slight intimidation factor. I gotta test this again tomorrow at work to double check my findings but from my initial test this is what I’ve come up with.
