Hi all…I wanted to start a journal about my pheremone journey.
I hope that some might find it helpful/informative. I appreciate any feedback/advice given.
I think of pheremones as another tool to help me reach my goals. Also of course its been fun so far just seeing who they affect and how. I am self conscious in some of the situations that I am expirementing in so I may not be adequately picking up on everything I am hopeful that with experience this will change.
Neroli
Just wanted to post something on the scent…I was very concerned about whether I would like it and if it would aggravate my allergies.
I bought the To-Go sprays.
First impression: I thought it smelled like a lotion or cleanser Ive used before though I couldnt remember which one.
I found that while the scent does fade it is long lasting…on me anyways.
I find that the scent did grow on me. But for me it is important not too wear any noticable scent at work.
A note on allergies: One day last week I woke up stuffy/sneezing…unrelated to any pheremone. I wanted to test my reaction to the scent/pheros so I mixed with lotion as suggested by tisha (thx!) sprayed the pheros into a glob of lotion applied it on the back of my neck… instead of spraying in the air or near my face. I didnt find that it made my allergies worse.
Conclusion: At work I have to wear only very light scents so I will be considering how to get it even weaker. Buy the regular size in 2-4x strength. Using less sprays…therefore less scent? Get it with less scent if possible? Unscented? Other scents?
More possibilities=More expirementing 
I had a fear of mones aggravating my allergies as well. I’m sensitive to scents and I’ve basically adapted into my mones within a couple of days application. On cool days, with some humidity, I can normally still have a faint odor of my application about 6 hours later. Glad you posted your feedback as well!
Mixing with lotion is a good idea! If you know your ‘sweet spot’ with 1x of the product line your using, yes, you can alway get the 2x and up versions for a less application is more scenario.
What scents do you have now with your mones?
I also wanted to ask, with the heat and humidity in your neck of the woods, what is your exposure time with an application?
Instant Shine
Instant Shine ToGO Spray Regular Strength
Tested in both social and work settings
Self effects: 1 or more sprays - More positive,confident, upbeat.
Others: 2-4sprays - Most seemed more upbeat around me. I noticed that when I wore 3-4 sprays at work I got less flack from certain individuals. Had one person in particular explain his actions (none of which were outside of the norm) as if he needed my approval/acceptance…every day I wore it! This is very unusual as he usually is one finding fault in others and normally comes accross as cocky. Only kisses up to management types. His behavior really surprised me.
As I started testing other products this is one of the first I would add in…so now I’m almost out. Will definitely be ordering more.
Thx for the input. Its been a couple weeks and though I do think Im getting used to it, I will be working on getting the scent lighter so I can be comfortable wearing it at work.
Everything Ive ordered so far is in the Neroli…I got a free sample of MX368..which I think is “chocolatini”. I just started experimenting with it so I’ll be writing up something on the scent and other observations soon.
For example today I havent sprayed anything on since after lunch and almost 10 hrs later still have the scent lingers. Its not strong or unpleasant but I can still smell it. This is not unusual but Im sure its because some of it gets into my clothes.
Humidity was low today and temps in 70s/80s but I havent been outside since my last application. On the occasion that I have spent time outside I do notice that the scents fade faster, but lately the weather has been mild so I havent noticed too much difference.
I have been reapplying after 4-6 hours depending on whether or not I was willing on taking the chance of an OD…which has not happenned so far, at least not in any negative way. For the sake of experimenting Im willing to OD to see the effects…just not at work.
Ooh, you got MX368 in your order? Nice!
Apparently it’s just an experimental short run item, but Hellkat reported some fabulous effects from it.
If you do get great effects from it, you may want to post a separate entry in the main part of the womens section so that those in charge will be sure to see it (and hopefully make some more!).
thanks kitty, mx368 review posted in main part of womens section as you suggested. I tested it alone and with shine and cttm also will be posting those results there also.
Great! And you should definitely think about becoming a reporting user, if more of us are, they will know that we are seriously interested, and you also get nice benefits and discounts.
Thx kitty, being a reporting user sounds great, after reading about it tho it seems its a reward more than something to apply for, which is fine. I’ll keep being a user and reporting and having fun and hopefully somewhere along the way I’ll get there. I already got a great reward anyway just by getting to try mx368, seems they took a chance on letting me try it so hopefully some of my comments paid off for them too.
CTTM
These are some of the notes I made on my testing with CTTM:
Took at least two sprays before I began noticing results, at three sprays the self effects increased too much for me to be comfortable with more than that. Although I didnt see much difference in its effects on others.
2 sprays to the side or back of neck. tried to reduce self effects by not spraying in breathing zone.
Self effects: though i tried to minimize them i did notice a slight nervous energy and found myself to be a little fidgety shortly after application, tho that feeling didnt last more than 15-20 minutes.
Effects on others: Increased chattieness in others. The way total strangers found reasons to talk to me was unusual and really caught me a bit off guard. Had one man actually freeze up as if he wanted to say something but wasnt sure what to say…probly couldnt figure out why he wanted to talk to me. 
Increased eye contact and verbal address from the leader of a conversation. In 2 roundtable meetings the speakers kept coming back to me for input. the setting was a small room with around 20 people at a semi-circle table with the speaker in the center of the table standing and talking to all of us. The speakers gravitated to my area quite often. I made a note that I was somewhat embarrassed by being singled out so much at one of these meetings.
When I wore CTTM around my workgroup I noted that their gestures were bigger, and their voices were louder. Thought not in any sort of negative or overly aggressive way.
When I was out in groups I also noticed some individuals “hovering” or “circling”.
MX368 reviews
----------------MX368 alone---------------------
One spray to neck one split between wrists.
No noticeable self reactions. nice chocolate-y smell.
Comments by others on the smell: “Is someone baking” “What is that awesome smell” “Someone smells delicious” …and my favorite: “You smell as yummy as you look!”
I wore this to work on a quiet night and noticed my coworkers were more playful; joking; the conversation got even more risque than usual.
I had one guy who normally doesnt talk to me actually circle my workstation several times like he wanted to talk to me but didnt know what to say.
One of my supervisors who doenst normally spend a lot of time with us also seemed to have a hard time ending his conversation and leaving…though he tried several times. He kept picking up his notebook and standing up to walk out but then would take a step towards the door then turn around look at me and think of something else to say to the group. After seeing this I decided to conduct a little expirement just for him. I’ll post that separately.
I’ve worn it shopping several times and have had a couple sales clerks follow me around the store. Though this has happenned to me before it has happenned almost every time I wear this.
To dinner before going out got me free food a couple times.
While out a few free drinks, but I’m with my husband…no one approaches me when I’m with him. Everyone around us is usually happy anyway so hard to tell it the mood of our freinds changed…maybe a more playful mood. Hubby was very snuggly, openly affectionate, he also liked the smell.
--------------MX368 and CTTM---------------
Noting the mesmerizing effect on my boss I decided to continue to wear this mix to work and do a bit more expirimenting.
I applied 2 sprays mx368 to sides of neck and one spray cttm back of head/neck right before an informal meeting.
It was a very jovial meeting, I noticed several guys reposition themselves to sit closer to me.
On two occasions I left the room to go to the attached breakroom…in both cases a couple people walked out with me–at no other time did people leave the meeting.
I had been asking for several weeks to be considered for an upcoming promotion. Each time I would bring it up he would put me off. That day when he followed me to the breakroom he said “why dont you come by my office after the meeting and we’ll start that paperwork on your promotion.”
When I walked back into the room it had gotten quieter, i intentionally circled the room to go to my chair and by the time i had gotten to my seat the conversations were going again.
I noticed that the trend in conversation was to “one up” the previous person…not necessarily in an aggressive way it just seemed that they wanted to be more entertaining than the previous guy. The conversation steered away from business pretty quickly. This is not the norm for our little gatherings. I recognize the chattieness as a result the CTTM and the “peacocking” behaviour I have seen while wearing mx368.
--------------MX368 and I/Shine------------------
The next day: I had to finish up my promotion eval with the boss and I wanted to “shine” so wore the same mx368 with 2 sprays shine to front of neck and wrists.
I am well prepared for this and have worked hard but I do tend to get nervous.
So for several hours we went over technical data where I am required to do drawings and know certain calculations. I thought I did ok and he seemed pleased. No one does perfect so all I think about is the things I didnt get quite right. I did get moved up, but wasnt sure how I did.
Till the following Monday…when someone in uppermanagement and a couple of the other supervisors commented that they had heard how well I had performed my eval..better than anyone has in quite a while, that my boss had told them he was impressed with how well I did. Understand that these kind of compliments are not the norm even when people do well. So I guess I did “shine”!
------------MX368 and CTTM----------------
I decided to wear MX368 and CTTM again to see if I could get repeated results.
2 sprays mx368 and 2 sprays cttm
I was sitting in the back of one class and someone walked in after me, had to walk past me to sit down, he almost stopped dead in his tracks, backed up a bit and sat next to me. During the meeting he kept talking loudly to me, commenting on the lecture. He got teased by his coworkers on a couple of occasions. He kept standing up and walking back and forth in front of me, I can only describe it as “peacocking”. Even when we were split into to different groups he kept finding his way back to me, and ended up asking me out at the end of the class.
He seemed to be particularyly effected, maybe because he spent the most time close to me.
Others in the group when near me were talkative and somewhat flirty, but this particular guys was absolutely smitten. He even seemed a bit nervous at times around me, but still wanted to be near me.
Overall I had fun with this expiriment but I would definitely use caution where I wear it. Having an “adoring fan” follow you around can be someowhat annoying and inconvenient if there is another person you are trying to effect.
i have my name in ur name
hi shanna,
great reports. i too have mx368. i am going to test it soon . may be tomorrow. will share the results. good u have started ur journal here. i also have good results with cttm. . keep posting.
WOW Shanna keep up the GREAT reporting. I might not often post or comment down here, but I really love your style of reporting. Its very thorough and I especially love how you test one mix and then gradually add in a known product one at a time. That’s exactly the type of reporting that is so valuable to us as a company. You seem to really have a good hang of it. You keep reporting like this and I can promise you early admission into the Reporting User club.
Yeah you
