Okie dokes. I tested my Ascend last Monday while out hunting for a summer job. There was one place in particular I was trying to get in, a grill at a private golf club. I'd much rather be working somewhere that takes a bit more pride in pleasing its clientele and preparing good food, instead of simply throwing something down to satiate your hunger. (Also, I'd much rather be working somewhere where said clientele are willing to throw down $20 or so as a tip for good service, rather than a couple of crumpled $1 bills under a dirty fork.)

Application:
~3 drops Ascend oil from the single-use sample Steve sent me
No cover

Results:
The copulin smell was immediately apparent, but died down by the time I got to town. I stopped by a local coffee shop a friend told me about recently, to see if they might be hiring. They weren't, but the girl behind the counter was very friendly and attentive. The place also serves breakfast, sandwiches, and other food, along with a nice selection of alcohol (I had a couple of absinthes there a few days ago.) Given a little time, I'm fantastic at getting free things from coffee shops, so I figured I may as well begin the process of befriending all the baristas.



Afterwards, I left and headed to the target establishment. It took me a little while to find the actual grill, and I had to ask a few people where it was. Every one of them was extremely helpful and friendly. They would point me in the right direction, or if they didn't know, to someone who did, then ask if there was anything else they could help me with, finally wishing me a good day. Finally, after talking to three people, I found the grill. Sadly, the manager wasn't in, but the girl behind the counter, a brunette about my age or a little older, introduced herself and asked what I would like. I asked for a soda and said that I was had heard they were hiring and would like to work there. She gave me a big smile and fetched me an application. While I was filling it out, she chatted with me about working there and asked where I was from, except when she had to serve other customers. When I was done, she told me that if I didn't hear from them soon, that I should follow up and "bug them" to let them know I was specifically interested in working there and not just applying shotgun-style. As I got out my wallet to pay for the soda, she smiled and told me not to worry about it, so I ended up leaving a small tip.

A few days later, I dropped by to follow up and potentially catch a manager. The same girl was working, and when she saw me, she gave me a huge smile and said hello. When I told her why I was there, she immediately offered to call the manager for me and did so, making eye contact the whole time. The manager was busy across the street, but asked her to get my number and name. She said she would remind him to call me if she had the chance and that I should give it a few days and come by again, saying that most of the people who have been hired there have been the ones who were persistent and proactive about it. So, the Ascend from my previous visit seemed to fix me in her memory and cause her to act very positively to me even when I wasn't wearing it (this time around, I was wearing Corpo and Evolve.) As I left, she told me goodbye with a big smile and wave and said she'd see me around.

Unfortunately, I had started a bit late that day, and by the time I finished up there, most places were getting ready for the dinner rush, so that was the end of my testing for the day.

Summary:
Plenty of friendliness and respect from strangers. Strangers were extremely helpful and deferential when I walked up and asked them questions. Girls were friendly and made lots of eye contact. A bit of hair twirling, and an apparent memory-imprint effect. Good stuff. I want more.

Thank you Injektilo.

I'm really surprised by the copulin smell that keeps getting mentioned. There is so little in the overall amount its amazing that anyone can even smell them at all. I'm talking tiny amount divided by like 12 bottle. Good feedback though.

Well, I haven't actually ever smelled pure copulins, so I assumed that whatever the distinct odor I was getting from the Ascend was copulins. To me, it's a pungent, nearly sweet scent that I also smelled in the sample of True Love for Women that True Pheromones sent me once. Initially, I couldn't smell pheromones at all, but especially recently, I've started to detect them, which falls in line with some studies which have shown that people who are initially unable to detect pheromones begin to with repeated exposure to larger doses. However, I've always been able to smell copulins, to the point of being able to freak my girlfriends out by being able to observe simply be smell when they were aroused, menstruating, and potentially ovulating. Of course, the scent of the copulins in products doesn't actually smell like the real thing to me at all to me, but the odor is still extremely strong and distinct.

Anyway, I'm more than happy to report my experience with Ascend.

Copied from my Journal

Been wearing Ascend to work the last few days, 1 spray to the throat. Covered with Dirty English, Play Intense or Black Spice.

It's status baby! It feels like the men see me as this really cool guy they wish they could be. Whatever I say is always correct! To the point where people will back out of a statement to agree with me. There is also this "father-like" feeling. The men confide in me like I'm daddy and have the answers for their problems (I have not observed this effect with any women).

I gotta do more testing. . . I don't have much data on the lady-folks (because the way the schedule has been) I've been around mostly men.
