Though a limited sampling, my initial impressions of AQ...
sample of 10 ml in bulb dropper bottle obtained from listmate....when the following testing was done, used as standalone, as is. Currently, have added 10 % Cinis Labs IES...shaken, aged over 2 months.
dosage: 4 - 8 drops...to approximate 1 -2 sprays respectively...split evenly to both sides of neck.
self effects: to me nothing remarkable with the exception of a brief dizziness when applying more than 8 drops. No crash or other effects hours after or day(s) after noted.
temperature: avg from 18 -25 degrees Celcius (64 -77 F).
Time of testing: early evening to later evening.
Although I have had limited tests during Spring/Summer 2017 with the 10 ml sample that I obtained from a listmate, I have found that it imparts the wearer with a VIP aura towards both female and male. I have not found it to hit blatantly i.e., DITHL shock effect, but rather smoother engagement...a need for targets to talk to me; I think that AQ foregoes the blatant in-your-face effect characteristic of AV, BW, old AM in an attempt to be more believable. I think that it attempts to be smooth at the risk of blunting the raw alpha effect. It is well buffered. Due to my limited sample, I had to seek opportunities which make it count.
encounter one: woman (28 - 32 yo) pretty, maybe 7...opened me when I was walking my dog in the gated apartment complex. She was intrigued...conversation was struck up...she does most of the talking...she opened up to where she works...what her national origin is...I brought up an archetypical alcoholic beverage from her native land...she promises to bring back some within the week and she promises to invite me to a house party for a taste test of her booze. We exchange contact info. She flakes out; never follows through.
encounter two: Brazilian couple (perhaps, 28 - 32...the woman hot 8) living next door for months (they know that I'm married), but never really engage meaningfully beyond the customary 'hello.' One night with AQ, they suddenly strike up a conversation in the hallway...their eyes wide (though not frozen DITHL) and we touch upon many topics. The woman does most of the talking, ignoring her bf/husband who simply stays passive/well behaved and smiley. With the conversation lasting more than I'd like, I garner the woman's cellphone number in front of her man. The woman proposes inviting me to her apartment for coffee in the near future. I agree. However, they flake. They seemed to avoid me thereafter only happen chance seeing me and telling me that they will have to move quite unexpectedly(2 months after the encounter) and since then, they have moved away to South Africa citing business reasons, company moving out of Europe.
Although this is a limited sampling, I feel in both cases that AQ held some mystery for them....causing a VIP effect, intrigue and a need to talk to me. The females were entranced/charmed. AQ attempts smoothness, to feel natural, it enhances social/breaking ice...it is more subtle..not in your face like AV or BW. The bad part: the spell wore off...it wasn't enough to hold intrigue for them to follow up even after they themselves set up a subsequent meeting. Note: I could see that single men could still escalate this at an appropriate venue, with alcohol flowing and ending up at apt or hotel to close....but, I get the feeling that the wearer must do it the same meeting as time is of the essence or the spell could be broken...perhaps, the initial blast is too good to be true for the targets. Once the spell is on, escalate and look to close THE SAME MEETING. Otherwise, game over and move on.
Personally, the scent could be better. In my experience, the scent kinda disappears within a couple of hours, but the mones remain. The raw mones have a somewhat women's hair spray smell mixed with saliva - that is the best that I can describe it. Unlike other reviewers who found the scent off putting or sissy, I see their point but I feel it can be tolerated. I would prefer unscented. Even one listmate (thelaw) selling his AQ because the scent was a deal breaker; he described it as a fairy's butthole which gave me fits of laughter. However, I don't think that it is that horrendous. Keep in mind that we as guys might not care for the scent, but women might totally love it. It does have a bit of a sweet, powdery, animalic, perineum odor, but it can be attractive to women. I think that one could mask/compliment the scent with something that contains similar notes...namely pineapple and some woody base which would masculinize the scent. I have mixed Cinis Labs ISO e super directly into my bottle and the woody notes lend AQ scent more masculinity. I also think that Creed's Aventus or Armaf's clone of Aventus would compliment the scent and masculinize it more.
In summary, it is a smooth intriguing VIP...easier to break ice...kinda fly by wire with socials as both experiences were lazy man's hits. I think that it (standalone) lacks the raw killer signals which would facilitate a close without more meaningful steering/effort/game/booze on the part of the wearer. Effect may be shallow and be time contingent if target exposure is discontinued. Therefore, time is of the essence. Based upon these two experiences, it seems to fail with imprinting...no callbacks...no follow-ups....almost as if the targets snapped out of the initial intrigue and dismissed the whole encounter as some dream.
Verdict: Again limited testing and I plan to continue until sample is exhausted, but at events/venues where more targets can be engaged. Is it bottle worthy? I cannot say at this premature stage. Perhaps, if the price fell and it was unscented along with Garry offering perhaps, smaller bottles. I would want to wait for an unscented version which I would treat with IES and/or my own scent essences.
As always, your mileage may vary. Just my humble 2 cents.
