Hey guys!
Being new to this world, I have a few questions and need advice.
I’m 27 and want to get a better social experience. I thought that I may get Instant Shine, Instant Openness, Instant Honesty and Ammo. But I worry about two things:
-
How strong is the scent of Instant Shine and Ammo? Can it disturb people? Is it too strong if you have two sprays or more of Instant Shine on the skin?
-
I was told I should order the 2x version of Instant Shine to be able to apply more and not have more scent. Although I’m new to this. I’m worried about it because some people mentioned that new users initially can get tiredness and headaches from Instant Shine. What can you tell me about that?
It doesn’t smell strong to me but everyone is different and will perceive the scent a little differently. How do you do with regular colognes ? Its not stronger then that really scent wise. I have been testing AMMO on some male subjects and it smells great on them. Not at all overpowering.
Instant Shine can give you a bit of a head rush the first few times you use it but its not like it makes you sick. Even the headaches people do get a low grade and only last the first couple times used. There are ways to avoid it. Dont spray your face or on your body under your face where the product can waft up all day. When you apply hold your breath for a few seconds and walk away from the application area so you do not inhale fresh wet pheromones.
Really its not a huge issue. I would get 2X just cause you will most likely use 2 or more sprays and this way you save money.

Hey Tisha,
thanks so much for the advice. Again. 
Concerning the question of “How do you do with regular colognes?”: Well, I don’t know exactly what the term “cologne” actually includes in this context but I usually only use Adidas Control action 3, a 24h anti-perspirant / anti-transpirant / deodorant. It is basically there to keep me dry but also has a subtle scent on it. Other Adidas deodorants have a much stronger signature. On rare occasions I used Adidas ice dive eau de toilette but I thought of it as too intense and not suited for stand-alone use without an anti-transpirant. People told me that I smell really good when the Adidas Control mixed with the natural scent of my body. A male (!) even told a few people “I don’t know what he does but he always smells good!” 
Maybe my shower gel also does a certain part because it is ph-adjusted with only a very very light scent. So, as you can see, I’m more on the subtle, light side.
Instant Shine is a really light scent - Kinda citrus, smooth and very subtle.
You can definetly get away with 3+ sprays of IS in a no cologne work environment. AMMO is a little more puissant but it is definetly still in the subtle range - I apply 3 full sprays of AMMO + 2 sprays IS and can then walk into a fairly small car with my LTR and she has never commented on me having too strong a scent… A314 smells quite strongly for about 30 minutes after application but it then fades into a rather nice lowkey scent
