Newbie Kimosabe's Greetings & Test Reports

[Peregrine]

Kimosabe,

I'm

interested in your A314 testing. I'm thinking about buying a bottle for work. Good luck.

First off, thank you

moderators for deleting the duplicate posts. Don't know why it happened as I clicked "Submit Reply" only once, but

the page did take some time to load. Anyway, on to A314.

Alpha

A314

Smell from Bottle: Lemon-lime aroma, gentle and intriguing

smell.

Self-Effects: 1 tight dab applied under both nostrils, no cover scent. The smell faded to something

I'd describe as a far-less musky smelling version of NPA, probably about 20% of NPA's strength. No

self-effects were noticed.


A314 Test 1

Application: I wanted to drip 2

drops, one on each forearm, but was a bit too enthusiastic in tapping the bottle, so it ended up being more like 3-4

drops instead. Spread the drops out throughout my forearms, and covered with Lynx Accelerate

bodyspray.

Situation: Went out for lunch yesterday with a couple of close friends

(guys).

Observations: After application, I did notice that my movements became slower and more deliberate.

Maybe this is a self-effect and the single tight dab under my nostrils was not strong enough to do anything?

Hmmmm....

The first dude I met was his usual self, and we talked about all and sundry as per normal. He

did offer to order lunch for me whilst I waited at the table.

The 2nd guy joined us some time later, and was also

his normal self. He had to leave earlier, however, and gave me a slightly firm grasp on my shoulder before he

left.

Conclusion: Inconclusive. Maybe a little bit more respect shown by both dudes but I cannot set

anything in stone just yet. I'll keep testing and see what comes up.

Kimosabe,

I'm interested in your A314 testing. I'm thinking about buying a bottle

for work. Good luck.

Hey Peregrine, I'm on leave from next week until the end of July, when I start a

new job. In the meantime, I'm going to be testing A314 out in social settings. I'll keep you updated when my new

job starts, cuz that's where I really want A314 to add shine and authority to who I already am.

[Peregrine]

You had some good

reports.....where'd you go?

[kimosabe]

Hey Pere! I'm still around,

but did not have the time to log in due to work commitments. However, I am glad to report that I've been

test-driving A314 on a fairly long basis, and this is what I've found:

In social settings, A314 doesn't seem to

do much, if anything at all. But that could be because I've been trying it out with people I already know, and they

may not be affected by the 'mones.

However, A314 does seem to have a very positive effect in my new workplace.

My students are more respectful and attentive, and my colleagues also seem to approach me with a healthy dose of

respect. My colleagues have spoken to me about my having an aura of authority surrounding me. An aura of leadership,

commitment and charisma. And as always, a couple of colleagues have perceived me as a threat, which they have felt

the need to mitigate via office politics, which is par for the course in any work environment. Mostly my experiences

have been positive though. I apply 2 drops to the inside of each forearm and spread them out evenly. Covered with my

usual deodorant.

I must stress that its simply not the work of the 'mones themselves. One must exude confidence

and project a picture of authority, which the 'mones complement and complete. It also helps when you can bark out

commands and instructions like a drill sergeant.

Hey

everyone! Apologies for having disappeared for such a long time. Work was keeping me busy and I didn't have time

for much else.

As a follow-up to A314, I was pleasantly surprised to have scored a hit with a woman 6 years my

senior (she's 38). Interesting thing is that whenever she lay in my arms, her nose would automatically go to the

A314 application points and stay there! Hmmmm....

Anyway, after all the experimenting, I've more

or less got it down to the following:

SOE: Social mone, can be used practically anywhere and anytime

without fear of overdosing. Only trouble is if I apply anything more than 22 inches, I develop a terrible headache,

coupled with feelings of wanting to drift gently off to sleep.

A314: Great as a "father/authority-figure"

mone and good for attracting older women, if that's your cuppa java.

NPA: DAMN THIS THING IS BLOODY

CONCENTRATED!!! Anything more than 2 tight dabs in non-clubbing situations is too much. 3 tight dabs for clubbing.

Must must MUST be used with SOE, especially if you are the "lone-wolf" type. Most Chinese girls don't seem

to like it very much, whereas Malay and Indian girls took right to it.

WAGG: I haven't had a chance to

use this yet, and its still sitting in my cupboard.

That having been said, I would like to ask the Phero-Gurus

here for some advice. I'm thinking of mixing up NPA & WAGG in an atomizer or roll-on bottle, together with an

appropriate musky cologne like Bvlgari Pour Homme Soir. This cocktail would then be applied strategically to pulse

points, and then covered with a fresh-smelling fragrance such as Aqua Di Gio, so that the musk doesn't overwhelm

but gently and subtly waft every now and then.

For starters, what proportion of NPA:WAGG:cologne do you think I

should mix up? (for more info on me, please see 1st post)

I've just ordered and received another round of SOE

since my last batch is almost done, and I am also going to test-drive Chikara (many thanks Bruce and Tammy for

speedy shipping!). Looking forward to that, and hope to be able to find time to post results here

soon.

I would not physically mix

products until I knew with certainty that the combo worked well, and the ideal ratio based on lots of field testing.

Then you have to make sure the carriers are compatible.

Mixing NPA with cologne/edt makes good sense, since NPA

is so strong and its alcohol based. Tweaking that mix with chemset -mones also makes sense, in small batches, and

if you're very experienced.

IMO, anything other than that is best handled by layering, especially with products

that have more than one -mone. Limitless fine tuning is possible and you don't waste product in a mix that you may

not like later, or one that does not work for you.

Just my take.

Oh, NPA/WAGG should be a great combo,

WAGG/n has a dose of -none in it, but I like the regular WAGG, better to use in combo with different -none

products.

Thanks for the heads-up. I have

the regular WAGG.

It has been said many times in this forum that NPA should ideally be mixed with cologne in a

1:5 ratio. I also remember terry0400-40 mentioning in another thread that a 1:4 ratio should be good when mixing NPA

and WAGG.

Do you think, then, that a 1:4:5 of NPA:WAGG:cologne would be a good place to start, increasing to

2:4:5 if necessary?

According to the Phero calculator spreadsheet:

A 1:4:5 mix would give 0.024ml/mg of

A-none, 0.024 of LC Secrets and 0.2 of WAGG ingredients.

A 2:4:5 mix would give 0.0436 each of A-none and LC

Secrets, and 0.1818 of WAGG ingredients.
