WrlpRchNx Journal - Experiments in Smell

Field Reports & Anecdotal Experience Men's Journals

So sad… my very first post is to be deleted in favour of a Compilation post à la Tater… simply because I want a consistent place to look back at my Testing Results -

1. P101 needs more testing

A) Get clumsy - Lose physical/detail focus - Consistently missed easy passes in Ultimate soon after application.

B) Enhanced “big picture” focus - Able to see play developing on field, where players are going, etc). Kind of like it makes it easier to get that slow-motion thinking feel. Caveat… There is a possibility that P101 improves group dynamics and this was the source of the "big picture focus"improvement - I might of felt like I was seeing the field more clearly because my team was working as a group better, making the field easier to see.

C) Potential STRONG 'none buffer… needs more work to confirm this. Also could be related to improving group dynamics - a more cooperative group would react less poorly to a strong 'none signal. (this is a stretch)

D) Some indication it helped me push myself harder than I would normally push myself - abnormal soreness after a game indicates I played harder than normal.

E) Molecule Half-life - Physical Clumsiness appears to diminish 1-1.5 hours after application, +ve mental slowdown seems to last slightly longer (1/2 to 1 hours longer)
'none buffer length TBD. Initial Estimate
Thats it for now… more will be added in time

F) Star Combo - 3X P101 + 4XTUTH - big respect from club owner, some mirroring from females who knew me, Girl at smoke door jumped in on my conversation with a friend while I was showing him how to dance). 3X P101 + 6XTUTH - LTR literally dragged me to the bathroom at a friends houseparty to get it on, potential explosiveness (very big, very angry fight later on)

G) Potential Combo - P101 + TAK to reduce clumsiness, perhaps with P124 and NONE for a strong Sports Mix

2. P123 - Instant Rude in a Bottle

A) Seemed to provoke females around me into being rude / irritable

B) Self-effect: seemed to stick to my guns / say what I was feeling. Become more forceful about getting my point across / saying what I felt needed to be said. Definite Confidence Boost

C) Socially talkative but confrontational

D) Potentially has a disinhibitive effect - while it seems to make females irritable I also find that they seem to become much more likely to speak their mind despite what social protocols would have them do - Also happens from a self-effect level.

E) Molecule Half-Life - TBD… It’s effects definetly seem to be MOST present within an hour of application - I do feel like it hung around for 3-4 hours however.

F) Tested Mixes - P123 + IH… Results inconclusive

G) Upcoming Test Mixes - P123 + A314, P123 + TAK

2. P124 - Physical Intensity Amplifier
A) Consistently results in improved physical concentration, body control, even stamina - Some capacity for over-exertion, especially when worn in conjunction with IS.

B) Self-effects: Noticeable “rush” after application, “more of the real me comes out”, Seems to help getting me “in the zone”

C) Tested mixes

  • P124 + IS = High on life… a really feel good mix, seems like strong potential for over-exertion.
  • P124 + IO = Essentially a non-result, seemed like IO dulled the intensity increase from P124… perhaps a higher dose P124 + IO test is required.
  • P124 + TUTH + IS = Mucho respect from teammates, potential for higher-risk behaviour (at least in Ultimate), TUTH aggression was definetly present - it seems like none agrees with P124, amps up agression (but not anger)
    -3 drops A314 spread between wrists and neck, 10 mcg None, 1 Spray IS (2x), 15 mcg P124 , 10 mcg TaK = it seemed like this was a somewhat ideal team captain mix, my team seemed to really listen to my coaching, really looked to me for leadership, Look back at the high-risk behaviour thing (I broke a guys arm with my face)
Putative Pheromone P124 - Fun and Confident but Calm

Thursday June 26

Before I went to work I put on a drop of A314 on one wrist and transferred it to the other wrist and a little behind my neck, then 1 (maybe 2, sun blinded me for a second as I was applying) in my hair. Waited 10 minutes and then applied 1 spray IS to my hair and 1.5 spray (or so) split behind my ears. Covered with Canali cologne about 20 minutes after that (if you have never tried the Canali cologne, it is awesome… it has a real dignified feeling scent - I think its a great work cologne)

@ 2:30 I applied 1 more spray of IS before my interview @ 3:00.

SELF EFFECTS

Once again I had a little bit of a sore throat (I am writing this Friday and today I only put IS on, no sore throat)… no headaches or any other -ve self effects… I gotta say I have felt pretty damn good when wearing A314 and IS.

REACTIONS

I work with a guy I’ve been friends with since University… on Thursday he seemed to loiter at my desk for longer than he usually does - Normally he will stand around and talk to me, but the instant I turn my head away to work for a second he will dissappear… today he seemed to really stick around, definetly wasn’t in the mood for leaving. Also noticed another co-worker seemed to spend a little more time than usual at my desk.

In the interview I didn’t really get any impressions from the engineer - however my recruiter told me later that he has a pretty hard outer shell (I.E. a damn good poker face) - however, despite the fact that I barely talked to the HR girl she seemed pretty excited, relaxed and friendly - I’m not going to say I really had any impressions of the effects at the interview.

After work I headed over to the G.F.'s - I have noticed the last couple days that her cat has been acting really weird around me… kinda a mix between confused (sniffing me alot) and much more compliant (bad word, but I hope you get the idea) - has anyone ever noticed pets acting different when you put 'mones on? Not much to notice with my GF then we went to our ultimate game.

At the game I definetly noticed some differences (the people I play with are all very new acquantainces). I received a unexpected compliment on my throwing ability from one of the girls (A very “Alpha” girl) - although that could have been an honest compliment derived from me getting better as the season has gone on. I also found that people were really listening to what I was saying a little more than usual… however that could be because I was one of the stronger players on the team who was at the game.

After the game my GF made a comment about me seeming happy lately or something of the sort - not sure but well see if I get any other impressions of that nature.

Tommorrow I will be applying IS only - 3 sprays in the morning and another spray before I head out to the football game (CFL - GO BOMBERS GO!)

FRIDAY JUNE 27 -

Went with only IS today - 3 Sprays in the morning and an additional two after work (before heading out to the football game)

Self Reaction - At work I don’t remember feeling particularily different… although I have noticed being much happier at work the last couple of days - including Friday - Could be I am having some good days at work being busier, could be because I know I am leaving… could be the IS is boosting my mood - Monday should be pretty dead, we will see how I feel with just IS then.
AT THE BOMBER GAME - Feeling pretty good, pretty happy and upbeat - Noticed that I was chatting it up with random people around me more than perhaps I normally do - Although I have been known to start random convo’s before.

REACTIONS -
At work I didn’t notice much, definetly felt like people weren’t hanging around my desk as much as they had when I was wearing A314. Not a huge difference in peoples mood either - However our president just announced that the company had been purchased so I imagine some people were pretty stressed.

When I got in the car with my buddy I would say he seemed in a pretty bad mood at the start - cussing out people’s driving and the such - but by the time we got to the Arena he seemed to be in a better mood. People are normally friendly and upbeat at games - everyone around me stayed fairly upbeat even though we lost… Gotta say that I had more fun than usual at the game… but that could have just been chance (sitting beside good strangers)

CONCLUSIONS -
I definetly didn’t notice as many strange occurences as when I have A314 on… trying IS again with more sprays at work on Monday. (no 'mones over the weekend, all I will be doing is spending time with my gf anyways)

Monday June 30

Almost didn’t go with anything this morning - figured that it would be useless with almost noone in the office. Had two hours of sleep, decided to see how IS would affect me with no sleep + cranky as all hell.

Applied 3 sprays - 1 to chest, 1 to neck and 1 split behind ears before work
Applied another 1 spray on back of neck and 1 spray on hair after work before going out
SELF EFFECTS -
By the time I reached work I was definetly in a better mood, more energetic than (by all rights) I should have been. It definetly seemed like the IS because the extra energy seeped away pretty quickly about 3.5-4 hours after application. When I reapplied I definetly felt a quick boost in mood.

REACTIONS -
At work I didn’t see much, probably aided by the fact there was noone around to observe. The VP was acting a little more friendly than usual (especially since he caught me reading the news instead of working in the morning).

After work I went over to the GF’s she was in a shit mood when I got there (directly linked to my cranky mood with no sleep from this morning - although it wasn’t my fault this time at least). Once again she commented on how nice I smelt (I guess she likes the smell of Neroli), and several times said how I make her feel better - her mood also noticably brightened when I came over (in comparison with talking over the phone). It could just be that she felt comforted seeing me, but she started feeling alot better and alot faster than I would have expected.

Went out with friends after that, I don’t really remember much - everyone seemed pretty cheery when I first got there and everyone seemed to get a little more social when I showed up - however that could just be me being chatty with the guy that nobody knew.

NOTE -
I thought it was worth noting that Tuesday I didn’t put any 'mones on and spent the entire day with the GF, her mood was definetly much lower than Monday despite the fact that she should have probably been feeling at least a little bit better.

Wednesday June 2 - HIGH IS dose day

Decided to go heavy on the IS today, just to see

5 sprays IS - 1 to hair, 1 to wrists, 1 to back of neck, 1 to chest and 1 to jawline

Once again I did not get very much sleep the night before, cranky as all hell going home to change before heading off to work -

SELF EFFECTS -
Once again I started feeling a little less cranky after applying, more work got done then most days that I have this little sleep - I’ve found I tend to work harder on IS days.

REACTIONS -

Its funny… I have a very skeptical friend whom I discussed this with (he still thinks its a scam)… even though he knew I was wearing IS, knew its effects and was basically biased towards being in a bad mood simply to show that it doesn’t work - by the end of the conversation (15 minutes or so) he was pretty smiley… Femalre coworker in the cubicle next to mine seemed in a particularily good mood.

Went to a course after work but I that was 8 hours after application

Thursday I will not be applying any 'mones before work but will be applying A314 before my ultimate game - I figure if I get two weird weeks in a row…

Thursday July 3, 2008

After work I applied 2 drops A314 - 1 to back of next and 1 to jawline

SELF EFFECTS -
Not sure if I was just pumped for the game, or if I was pumped about trying out A314 again… but about 30 minutes after applying I really felt like I could take on the world - I felt more aggressive than normal… but I can also get that feeling when I’m excited about something.

REACTIONS
Went to ultimate game about an hour later - When I met up with my LTR I didn’t really observe any difference in her reaction with me - maybe this kind of makes sense, I already have a fair bit of “status” in her mind…

At the game - So no girls showed up to the game (other than my LTR and one other) so I couldn’t judge reactions from females really… as far as guys go I found I conflicted a little with the one guy on the team who REALLY knows what he’s doing… nothing to write home about however.
I found the two Asians on the team seemed a little more stand-offish… but they also haven’t been at a game in weeks so that could explain things. Other then that, I found people were really seeming to listen to me when I was talking - and apparently there was some discussion of me being a really good player on the sidelines

EDIT - Thinking about it… When I approached someone they were really friendly, but if I didn’t approach people were shying away a little bit…

7

Nothing to report over the weekend… Outside all day in scorching heat taking a motorcycle course - figured it was a waste to apply any 'pheromones.

Monday July 7 - Applied 3 drops A314, 2 to neck and 1 split between wrists.

Unfortunately at work I was stuck at my desk doing bullshit all day so I didn’t really have much opportunity to see its effects… However I did notice the estimator for the insurance company was particularily helpful when I took my car in over lunch… not much else to report on :frowning:

Applied an extra drop of A314 and a couple sprays of IS after work before heading over to LTR’s… She was in a cranky mood obsessing over her interview earlier that day… Inititally I wasn’t very close to her (in the kitchen starting supper, it was my turn)… after I was finished in the kitchen and sat beside her I found her mood seemed to noticeably raise again - Another “you smell good” comment and finally… Perhaps its something about her, or the dynamics of our relationship, but A314 seems to REALLY boost the intensity of our intimacy… (IS only seems to boost her mood, no sexual side effects)

Tuesday July 08

Tried to not wash my application points from yesterday in the shower
Applied 2 sprays of IS after work (1 Neck, 1 Chest) around 7:00pm

Nothing to report at work… I think I had mostly washed everything off - Although I did manage to get some smiles from the girl working the counter at KFC at lunch - I still felt some of the confidence boost from A314 yesterday evening.

Met up with LTR around 9:00pm… she had been fairly stressed on the phone earlier as usual… Initially she was still rather stressed but by the time we had moved her dresser out of my vehicle and into her appartment she was visibly happier - This could just be me, but I really find that when I am wearing IS she gets happier so much quicker and with so much less effort - Went to the movies and after the movie it seemed like she had kinda dropped back into her pissy mood worrying about everything again (which just happened to coincide with the 5-6 hours after application mark)

I’d say 2-2.5 sprays IS is a pretty sweet spot for me - almost sure I’m getting good hits at that point and I feel great + I don’t get as tired after it wears off as when I apply more.

EDIT - Woohoo! advanced user status, definetly gonna pick up an experimental mix with my next order - any suggestions?

Wednesday 09 - JUL - 08

For some reason the A314 was coming out of the bottle quick this morning… or my reactions were slow.

I intended to apply 1 drop to the top of my head… I think i got something like 2 to 2.5 drops, I then intended to apply 1 drop split between wrists… I got something like 1.5-2 drops so I split it between wrists and dapped on the front of my neck

I then sprayed 3 - 3.5 sprays of IS 1 to hair, 1 to chest and two halves behind ear (the halves might of been a little bit more)

TOTAL APPLICATION
APPROX. 3.5-4.5 drops A314 (half on hair and half split between wrists and front of neck)

APPROX. 3-3.5 sprays IS (1 chest, 1 hair, 1/2 behind each ear)

SELF EFFECTS -
I was in a really nasty mood this morning… even after application I was pretty grumpy but about an hour after application (at work for 1/2 hour) I surprised myself by actually being in a rather good mood - I did get good news… but relative to how cranky I was before… Definetly noticed a real spring to my step once I finally awoke from my grumpiness

REACTIONS -
So I would say I’m fairly close to my OD point on A314… even to a very light OD extent - I have noticed that a good friend of mine (who thinks 'pheromones are a complete sham) tends to spend alot of time at my desk when I combine A314 and IS… today was no different. The light OD potential was from some weird reactions I had from another guy who is normally rather chatty and seemed like he didn’t want me there when I was talking to him in the morning - That could however be associated with him actually having some work he needed to get done or something.

I also had a funny reaction from our IT girl first thing in the morning… Said Hi to her like I very commonly do and she didn’t say anything back… barely even got a thanks for opening the front door for her either. I also noticed my direct manager was a little bit off - however this is the first time he has seen me in two weeks so he might of been put off by the new signature…

Overall I’ve had an interesting morning, and I have an interview @ 4:45 this afternoon… by then I figure the A314 should be pretty calmed down, its just unfortunate I forgot to bring along my IS for a refresher.

AFTERNOON -

Damnit… I really gotta be careful with IS when I’m running on no sleep - It totally picks me upat the start of the day, but when it wears off the crash is pretty hard. Crashed around 3:00pm… but excessive imbibing of tea/coffee from 3-4 got those neurons firing some more.

Interview went fairly well… I had a hard time reading either of them - perhaps I’m more used to reading interviewers without A314 influencing their reactions - but I did definetly get a slightly nervous vibe from the guy whose position I would be essentially filling. Even the engineering manager seemed a little nervous in the interview - I know alot of engineers have really bad experiences with Alpha’s (engineers tend to be the nerds jocks pick on in highschool), I wonder if I will have to be really careful about OD’ing on A314 around engineers (my current job doesn’t actually have alot of engineers, and those it does have do not tend to be average engineers in a social sense).

I think I sprayed around shot of IS in the evening before seeing my G/F… 1 shot doesn’t seem to be enough to produce any strong mood boosting reactions from her - she was cranky because she didn’t get the job she interviewed for the day before.

10

Thursday - July 10

Applied 3 drops A314 to one wrist and then tried to split it between my wrists and the behind the ear/neck pulse point (I ended up with it smelling rather strong on my wrists…although I did use more then ususal)

2 sprays of IS 1xhair, 1xchest

Self Effects -
Less pronounced today - I was righteous tired before heading off to work. I find IS tends to give me a really nice boost when I’m tired but I think today was a little too much. I did find that after my coffee I did really start feeling better and feeling the confidence from A314.

REACTIONS -

I’m going to say my friend (who thinks 'mones are a scam) from work is very sensitive to the A314/IS combo… with each product applied individually I don’t tend to find a huge difference in how he interacts with me but when I combine them he basically hangs around my desk and doesn’t leave until I start ignoring him. Today was no different.

Unfortunately I haven’t had much opportunity to interact with managers over the last week (with no work to do I have no reason to go talk to them). However I did have a strange reaction from the Avionics manager when I brought a compliance program in to him - normally he is very laid back and “i don’t give a shit”, for some reason he was a little complainy today when I brought him a compliance program - Although it could be because the project was very “Avionics” and therefore I should probably not be the lead for it.

Picked up Vietnamese after work - I tend to find the servers at this place very “I don’t give a shit” most of the time, today the girl who took my order seemed very interested in making me happy (especially important to note that because I was picking up there was no potential for her to get a tip).

Showed up late to my Ultimate game - applied 1 spray of IS to my chest right before the game - nothing terribly noticeable at the game (although I was having a great game, but I was also playing without my glasses/contacts which seems to have the unexpected consequence of me having better depth perception)

Also told my G/F that IS was a mood boosting aromatherapy thing - got her to try a spray to the neck - she seemd to think it helped make her happier.

No A314 tommorrow - only IS, will try to not washoff all A314 from wrists.

Getting next paycheck in a week and I should have a couple extra bucks for another 100$ purchase (sweet)

11

All I gotta say is that I love IS

Both Friday and Monday went with 3 sprays IS - definite self effects + everyone seems happy to be around me.

Monday so far my buddy has been spending his unusual amount of time around my desk - seems like it happens when I hit that sweet 3 spray spot of IS - less when I use A314.

12

Wednesday July 16

3 drops A314 - wrists and front of neck
3 sprays IS - neck, chest and behind ears
(I really like this combo)

Self-effects - I have noticed the intensity of the feeling good effect from IS start to drop off (boourns) - A314 still makes me feel like I can take on the world.

Handing in my resignation today, slightly nervous before going in but I got over it and had alot of composure while talking with my (soon to be ex) boss… In retrospect it really felt like I had more composure then I would have normally expected.

Reactions -

Good reaction from my boss when I put in the resignation - I have a standing offer of employment if my new job doesn’t work out (I’m going to stack this up to my excellence in the position rather then 'pheromones).

I have noticed the guy who spends alot of time at my desk tends to argue a little harder when I’m wearing A314 - I could see that being a resistance to the change in signature he is sensing when I am wearing A314.

So… I think I have the reactions I get from IS and A314 down pretty pat… I will be noting any major hits from this point on in this journal… but otherwise no daily reports until I get a new set of 'pheromones to try out.

SUMMARY IS and A314

IS -

  • Definite self-effects, GF noticed self-effects when sprayed on her (called a mood-booster)
  • Appeared to make LTR less cranky when she was having a bad day
  • Definetly seemed to draw my male co-worker/friend - he spent alot more time hanging around my desk.
  • Noticed people appeared to be more relaxed around me

A314

  • Definite self-effect confidence boost
  • Same male co-worker/friend has tendency to stick around desk even after I stop talkign to him
  • Strong sexual effect with LTR - increased intensity of sex
  • Some hits from strangers/lesser known acquaintances - unexpected compliments, question about how I am doing, etc.
  • Best friend seemed a little put-off… followed my lead more readily

NEXT PHEREMONES TO TEST - (Coming in my next order, potentially on Friday! EDIT: Ahh fuck it… ordered it now)
P101
AMMO
MX203
Instant Gentleman/Instant Openness (haven’t decided yet)

13

Nice journal! You should most definitely order the Ammo and MX203. Also check out CTTM. These 3 are my daily products from this site.

Monday - July 21, 2008

Morning Application

2 Drops A314

Throughout the day there was no obvious reactions to speak of… just general A314 kind of stuff… I’ve been wearing it pretty consistently lately so it becomes difficult to distinguish anything new.

After Work Application

2 Sprays Ammo (Got My Order In + a TOGO of TUTH - THANX April!)
(Both to Chest)

  • 2 Sprays Instant Shine (applied approximately 30 minutes after initial AMMO application)

Went to restaurant about 1 hour after application, Fringe play (really relaxed almost busker like theatre) approx. 2 hours after application

Self-Effects
I didn’t notice any significant effects… although thinking back I did act a little strange at the restaurant w.r.t. my interaction with the waitress (in a good way)

Reaction from Others
Most of the time I spent was with my LTR… no significant reaction from her - we will see with further experience - I was pretty tired at the play.
Interaction with waitress was as noted above a little different but nothing to write home about. The guy I sat beside at Fringe was extremely talkative after I sat down… but that could just be that particular individual.

15

Tuesday July 22, 2008

Morning Application 2 Sprays Ammo - 1 chest and 1 split behind ears

Self Effect - Already felt decent, no readily apparent change in mood - I think I tend to find this 'pheromone tends to effect the way I interact with people moreso then my mood/confidence (Side Note - I need to bring Shine back from g/f’s… Day so slow no Shiney)

Reactions - At work I basically wasn’t interacting with anybody female except for my cubicle mate across the aisle (Black, 25) - Nothing super apparant there. Didn’t really get any reads on my male coworkers either.

AFTER WORK - 2 more shots of AMMO, same place as the morning

Still no self effect

REACTIONS - Went over to LTR’s… watched TV for a bit, she complimented my smell (said I smelled good - at least she likes the cologne) and then randomly (I say randomly because it seemed really out of the blue) decided that she wanted to go down on me… twice.
Not going to say that this was SO out of character that it couldn’t have been anything else… but it certainly seems to be a solid HIT from AMMO.

Perhaps 2 sprays is not quite enough AMMO for me… trying 2 again tommorrow… 3 the day after that.

16

Damn, that was veeeery informative..
1st what is this ultimate game?? Sounds like football(CANT wait for football season)..

2nd - with A314, when you went into the interview, how did it go? WHat was some of the body language the interviewr had? I have one in a couple days and want to know. Did you make them tooo nervous, or did they instantly “respect” you and cut out most of the bullshit questions interviewers have?

3rd - Good post!

17

Thanks - Ultimate is basically a combination of Rugby/Football, Soccer and Frisbee. Basic rules are - You can’t run with the frisbee (can only take steps to slow yourself down after catching while running), you score by catching the frisbee in your opponents endzone, if a pass is not caught then the frisbee is turned over to the other team wherever the frisbee hit the ground, and no contact (I.E. Forward Pass Interference, was someone has possession of the frisbee there is no stripping, etc.) - It’s a helluva lot of fun and a shitload of running (there are no breaks between turnovers, only between points).

Interview went well (I got the job) - my feedback from the recruiter after both interviews was that the interviewers thought I seemed very competent (I don’t have any technical experience related to the position other then the educational background requirement). In the second interview one of the interviewers was rather nervous… but he was apparently nervous before I even showed up because he had never done an interview before. I got some good body language signals from the HR person in the first interview - in the second interview the engineering manager kept having slips of tongue where he indicated that I was going to be the successful candidate. Engineering VP in the first interview should go into poker… no read on him at all.

OVERALL - as people have said before - 90%+ of the reason I got the job is me, A314 just gave me a little edge over the competition.

18

Wednesday July 23

Same application as Tuesday - 2 shots in morning 2 shots after work

Self-Effects - I think AMMO kinda puts me into a club mindset a little bit, I find myself checking out girls and interacting with people in a similar way to how I interact with people at the club - especially girls.

REACTIONS - nothing during the day, AMMO at work in a mostly male environment is meh (who woulda guessed :stuck_out_tongue:). LTR spontaneously started rubbing my crotch at some point soon after I came over (similar to how the tuesday hit occured)… we fought later on so no other “hits” to speak of.

THURSDAY I will not be applying any AMMO in the morning (or any 'mones at all) and I will be applying 3-4 shots of AMMO before my Ultimate Game (see how the girls on the team react to this :slight_smile:)

19

I like your plans for Thursday.

Ammo has self-effects for me too- I’m finding that my booty-stare lasts a lot longer.

20

Yeh exactly… its a weird kind of self-effect… it kinda puts me into club-mode… completely different in nature from A314 or IS
