So I’ve bought some Hedione from a reputable supplier (you may recall I got burned buying some weird fake/adulterated Hedione from an eBay vendor in India). This genuine Hedione doesn’t cause depression, unlike the fake Indian one.
I’ve discovered I can smell Hedione for the entire time it is on my body. In fact, I can even smell it the next day if it has rubbed off onto my clothing the previous evening.
I had an internal nose operation many years ago to fix my breathing. Before that, I could breathe through my nose only about 50-60% of the time. Since that operation, I’ve had the nasal sensitivity of a bloodhound.
Which probably explains why I can smell the Hedione. I don’t like using too much Hedione because I can smell it so clearly. The first time I used it, I smeared a couple of drops onto my neck. The rest of the day I spent in a suffocating cloud of Hedione. To me, it smells like a cross between a woman’s perfume with a tiny hint of eau de fly spray. Not my favorite experience, let’s say.
But it could be worse. No headache, no depression etc from*Hedione. Just mild olfactory annoyance. And if it hits the babes, that’s a good thing.
I’ve learned to keep Hedione away from my face. Wrists or backs of hands seem to be the best locations for me. I did get a slight mood boost the first time I used Hedione, but didn’t notice anything special the second and third times.
I must have used way too much Hedione the first time. Today I’m finding its smell on my wrists has died down much quicker. Thankfully I can only smell it if I sniff my wrist at very close range.

12pm client didn’t show up (mix up with meeting date)
3pm client - slim female in late 40s/early 50s. I’ve noticed that she seems to be wearing more eye makeup these days. She never used to bother with (noticeable) eye makeup before I started wearing mones. Coincidence?
4.45pm - 5.15pm client meeting
Three new clients, all Asian. Female in late 20s. Female in early 40s. Male in early 30s.
This was a meeting to plan a project which should take place later this week.
I was concerned they were going to play hardball and bust my balls right from the start, because of their precise requirements they had previously communicated via email. In the meeting, they made their requirements clear, as I did with mine. So communication was good. The main thing was they were quite respectful of me. They looked totally awed and impressed by me, especially upon arriving and on departing.
I figured that particular mix would be helpful since I knew the main client was Asian and I wanted to create an impression of dependability and expertise. a314, IG and IH were integral parts of that plan.
Maybe I could have added p74, but I wasn’t aiming for fallout - just respect and trust. Anyway, I already had some TAC on, which should have made someone a little more comfortable, even if that someone was me.
The TAC wasn’t really part of the plan - I just threw it on in the morning because I wanted to soften and lift my own mood this morning, not because I thought it would be helpful for the meeting this afternoon.
I’m not sure if I’ll wear the same mix on Friday when I work on the actual project with two of them (40s female and early 30s male) plus another person who is a 18 year old Caucasian female. I guess I probably will, since I want to keep the good rapport going with them. Not sure how the mix is going to work with the 18 year old. She is being paid by them, not by me. I want compliance from her and for her to feel comfortable with me, but nothing else beyond that. It’s too high pressure a situation for me to go looking for other effects like DIHL etc.
Maybe IH suits me. I used to use it a lot several years ago when I first got into mones. I’ve been avoiding it this time round, but I might explore it a bit more.
I’m going to be working with some college students again. I remember I used to use way too much enone in the past, which must have really stressed out (or just plain ghosted) some of those people. Will try something much lighter, more social and possibly enone free this time round. Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted. I’m torn between authoritative STFU mixes (like a314 + p75), or mixes aimed at 18-20 year old girls, without going overboard on the socials and accidentally making everyone talk, giggle and chatter incessantly. Clarifying my goals would probably help haha. Getting hits from the girls without alienating the guys is one, I guess (I want the guys to feel comfortable at least). And not ghosting anyone. And not coming across as an inappropriately horny old man is another. Complex!
