So, this morning, I woke up early enough to throw on a basic mix of pheros before my 9:00 Thermodynamics class. I knew people often find the smell of both the pheros and the fragrances that come with them appealing, but I have never had such strong compliments on the scent before from so many people. The mix was the classic A314 + Ammo, though it was slightly altered because I used MX276 in place of the classic Ammo. I wore three drops of A314–one behind each ear and one split between my wrists–and four sprays of MX276–one split between the wrists, one to each side of my neck, and one to my hair.
In Thermo, I noticed that my girlfriend’s roommate, who sits next to me in the class, kept glancing over at me. After a little while, she asked if I was wearing cologne. I thought it might be bothering her, so I tried to be discrete, and told her yes, I was wearing a little bit of cologne. She said I should wear it more often because I smelled awesome. In my 11:00 Vector Cal. class, which she is also in, she commented numerous times on how I smelled delicious, and how I should be banned from the class for it, because it was distracting her and she couldn’t concentrate on the teacher.
I apparently smelled so amazing to her that she had to tell other people. It wouldn’t seem so odd if I was nearby and she had said, “Oh, you should smell Ducote; his cologne is awesome!” But several of my friends and just acquaintances popped up suddenly for the sole purpose of sniffing me. Out of four or five people who decided to take a sniff for themselves, only one left without a positive reaction (though it wasn’t negative either.) She just said that my friend had said I smelled really good, but this girl also smelled my shirt sleeve instead of my neck, where everything was concentrated. I think I’ll wear it again Wednesday (or maybe tomorrow, though I’m low on MX276.)
By the way, my girlfriend’s roommate seems to be fairly sensitive to pheromones. When I first got IS 4x, I put on about 4 sprays. It’s a lot of Instant Shine, I know, but while other people just got really chipper and talkative around me, when I sat down next to her in Electronics (I think I was still in Electronics when I got the IS) she didn’t say anything about the smell, but commented on a sudden wave of dizziness and said she felt like she was floating.
Later in the day, I had to go see one of my Physics teachers to get a sheet of equations, and one of my friends/acquaintances was taking a make-up test in his office, so while he went and photocopied the sheet for me, I sort of teased her and poked her in the sides and whatnot. She became quite giggly and was telling me to stop but reciprocating whatever actions or movements I was making. When I first showed up, she seemed quite intent on the test. However, the chance for a moment of relief without the teacher there may have played a large part in her sudden playfulness and relaxation.
That’s my report for today. Hope everyone enjoys it! The internet is back in my dorm, so I should be able to report daily or at least every couple of days from now on.
