Thoughts on MX390

MX390 then…

I have to say I’m not impressed with this mix at all. It seems to receive universal praise on here and I believe it is to be Ammo 2 (or rather MX297)??

Dose: Used 1-5 sprays (3 seems to be optimal)
Environment: Work, university and at home.

Self Effects

Ammo seems to give me great self effects including subtle confidence boost, slight conversational disinhibition and makes me feel carefree.

MX390 gives me no confidence boost but does give me that carefree feeling which results in a feeling of being up for a “silly session”. MX390 seems to give me the negative effect of inhibition during conversation (mature conversation). When speaking to middle aged and older women at work, I found it hard to think of ways of continuing conversation. There were all sorts of thoughts running around in my head (and I was very aware of my internal dialogue), but none seemed to be acceptable for that moment.

Maybe MX390 gives me the need to be a perfectionist (with words), maybe it could be useful for writing an essay? Or maybe it makes my thoughts too silly (or makes me think they’re too silly) for an adult audience?

Effects on others

I have a massive change in age range of co workers from the Friday shift to the weekend shifts. During the week the average age of my co workers is around 40, at the weekend it’s around 20.

On the Friday (and previous weekdays) the problems with thinking what to say were evident, although all co workers seemed very friendly towards me. All wanted to engage in conversation, but I found it hard to contribute to these conversations.

When the weekend came everything changed. The effects on the younger ones was obvious. It was like instant shine mixed with instant honesty . A very adequate social lubricant that makes conversation with this crowd fun, exciting and rather flirty at times. What this mix lacks in an attraction factor, in my opinion. With Ammo you can feel that there is something raw and animalistic about its ability to attract, this is missing from MX390.

Ammo is beer
MX390 is weak shandy

On a side note - this makes kids love you. I had a couple of children around 10 years old look at me like I was some kind of idol. Not in an attraction sense, more like a “this guy looks like he could play some REALLLLY good xbox!”

Thank you and gooood night

Have you tried MX297?

I seriously think that the scent has something to do with it. I thought I was getting attraction hits from both age ranges of females, but then Steve pointed out an interesting tidbit and the more I looked into it the more I noticed how right his observations were.

I’ve tried MX390 several times but I didn’t get the same results I did with MX297. I hate to say it, since I was one of the people pushing for a different scent package, but MX297 seemed to hit harder socially than MX390.

It sounds honestly like a reverse-placebo effect to me, a fragrance package will only change the diffusion you should still see the same effects.

But now that you’ve gotten a baseline test - I’d be curious to see what you’d also spray (Any experimones/P’s) on to bring it up to a level you’re looking for.

I have to redo everything again and do two tests with just MX297 and two tests with MX390

I’ve developed my senses better now since I first started with MX297 and I’m really curious to what the differences would be now that I have a cleaner slate.

Also John,

There have been numerous reports on the forum regarding MX292/353 and the effectiveness of each.

Could the fixative properties of each have an effect. Also for diffusion, would the molecules have difference on the effect that Akuto gives because Akuto’s diffuse is more linked to an “Aura” like diffusion and that FF21 is more “trailing” diffusion. Could the ratio’s be more effective because of the specific package.

Would that also be the reason that AMMO is 20% strength instead of 6%?

Ammo is 20% purely for the fragrance, as it is sold as a ‘cologne’ type product, meant as a ‘stand alone’ spray. (We consider anything above 20% “cologne-strength”)

No I know, but could the diffusion be stronger because of the strength of the scent?

Also, what were your thoughts on my previous question about the scent packages?

That’s something I was wondering about myself. I figured that the scent and pheromones went hand in hand and I’ve noticed more hits from Ammo from a further distance simply based on the fact that it seems to carry further than other scents. Most of the hits I’ve had with Neroli have been at a much closer range.

What if you just get a 6% fragrance and then put a real cologne like creed over it? Will the real cologne increase the silliage of the mones?

All the variables, from what I’ve read, take into account.

I’ve just recently learned that mixing and compositing might be a lot harder than what I orginally thought it would be.
