Quickie review of ascend.

I've been using a couple sprays straight to the chest.

In 5 words: Fear based respect and lordosis.

For me, it is great as I like the "public enemy number 1" effect although I could easily see that working in the negative, so use carefully. Aka, I could see a bar fight breaking out with it if you didn't steer it right.

I don't feel the need to intimidate but this shuts down the haters and turns up the sex factor for me. So what's the downside?

It is strong. It has a strong scent and it messes with my sleep a bit. It is fairly blatantly sexual up close and it can create a "can I trust this guy" intrigue. The scent wears on and is a bit tough to shower off but no worse than a lot of other scents.

I like to keep a bit for travel scenarios where I might find myself out on the town with colleagues or when I'm facing a hostile negotiation. Colleagues see you as more of a leader and outsiders see you more as guy to watch out for... as for relationships I can say I've gotten bedtime lordosis more than once with this....

I was totally doubtful as I saw a lot of hyperbole, but it works.

For lack of a better term, the only negative more me is it feels kind of rough/raw on me, expecially the next day. Strong urge to wash off. Generally use 1 spray max.

I wouldn't mind fear based respect but,with ascend,there is no respect just hate.Must be my body chemistry and I am already intimidating. It is pretty stinky too. Heard ascend oil is better.

@Jimmycrack

Nice review. Reports base on spray version? 1 spray is too much. I agree to your review. Oil version can control amount of mones. May be using 2 drops of Ascend will work better. Still a good mix.

@jb20,

Smiling will help a lot. The spray version is very strong.

wow i never thought about hate/fear based respect from ascend. i have the oil w/cops and i do remember having one experience in india where people were disrespectful AF. it was not cool. but i've never had that experience stateside. i think it was the cops in an environment where sexual freedom is stifled, so others picking up on the fact that an unmarried man was "recently with a woman" (By detecting copulins) was an instant disrespect hit.

Not a fan of ascent spray ,but heard good things about oil.

Tried ascend first time today. 2 sample sprays at work. No cover spray. I didn't get any of the bad smell comments others have reported. I couldn't smell anything bad from it.

I noticed this stuff looks thicker than other mones I have sprayed before. It glooped out onto my wrists before spreading it on my arms.

One of the first things I noticed is that my posture improved greatly and quickly, like under 15 minutes. I have to bend down to do certain things and I was bending at my knees while maintaining great posture instead of hunching my back like I usually do. I have been having problems with my shoulder from years of accumulated poor posture and it felt better today with my correct posture supporting it properly.

I felt relaxed and focused on every task in the moment as if that was all that mattered. This was a great relief from being nervous and worrying about things that don't matter unrelated to my current task. It was easy to articulate my words clearly and professionally which made talking to to everyone including management smoother and easier. The posture made me feel much better overall and so I had more energy to move around and work faster.

I saw more respect, but it didn't feel like it was fear based, just people recognizing that I was on my A game today. 2 people were nervous talking in my presence for a few moments, but they seemed fine other than a few occasions. Everyone else reacted positively and showed no fear of my presence that I was aware of.

There was no crash after a 8 hour day. I was going strong until the end and the day went by fast. By far my favorite work mone so far. No side effects so far.

Ordered the A.C.E. pack last week and got it yesterday. I was on a business trip and needed to return a rental car this morning prior to beginning my work day. I showered and sprayed two sprays, one on each side of the neck just to se what the personal effects are. It should be noted that I sprayed my favorite cologne as a cover after applying the sprays of Ascend XS. (side bar: I put the cover scent directly over the pheromones after I apply the pheromones, correct?)

Anyway, I let the scent set in for a few minutes and then go to drop of my rental car. It was about a 10-15 minute drive from my condo to the local enterprise, plenty of time to allow the mones (read: my scent) to fill the car. Once I pull into the lot, I go inside to drop off my keys. The agent was helping another customer, so I sat down to wait. After a while, he says to the other customer "let me take of this gentleman here" and walks out to the car with me. He opens up the door and sits in the car to get the info from the dashboard (i.e mileage, amount of gas, etc). Once he got out, his demeanor changed immediately. He kept shaking my hand, looking starstruck and "intimidated" his eyes were wide as they could be. It was weird.

While this transaction was going on, an older woman (late-30s, early 40's) walked in through my cloud. I sat next to her while I awaited my ride back home. I was looking around the office and she happened to glance at me. We made eye contact and she noticed my Captain America shirt. She just blurted out "my son would LOVE your shirt!" I was going to say something back but my ride was done.

The guy that drove me home chatted with me, though he didn't really care to look at me. He nervously laughed at some of my jokes but that was pretty much it.

Later today, I had lunch with a couple of friends/colleagues. While we waited on our food, we began a discussion on some policy challenges I'm working on (I work in politics). I noticed that my ability to argue and make points was far improved. Neither of the guys at lunch with me really spoke unless I asked them a question. They seemed to enjoy my comments and arguments and agreed with them.

Not really sure what to expect with Ascend, I had really limited interactions and didn't feel like I could get the most out of it. Interested in your thoughts. Especially when it comes to applying cover scents on pheromones.

Here is a copy of a post I placed on the DXS forum for Ascend:

On another note, I have tested Ascend oil (unscented) quite a bit, and have seen that respect/status/approval seeking/ aspect on other men that I know. They talk to me, asking for my opinion on things, and telling me stories in a way like seeking my approval, like trying to prove their worthiness. At first I did not catch up to those hits, as I was thinking that the hits were going to be like those I used to get from A314 ver. 18 batch 2. That was a status/intimidation monster, and it did not help that it was one of the products I bought when I was just learning about pheromones, hence, the lack of congruence on my part. But every once in a while, there was that "wow" factor that made me believe in the power of these tools...when I would catch the attention of a hottie (8-10/10) and get them approaching/opening me and looking for any excuse to engage in a conversation with me.

With Ascend, the women that I knew, and even those I recently met at the gatherings, were very at ease, showing signs of attention/attraction. But the funny part is that months later I found out that the Ascend oil I was using did not even have the cops in it, as I mistakenly received the copless version from PXS. But that issue has been resolved and now I also have the regular Ascend with cops, but haven't had the chance to test it out accordingly... one, due to weather, and two, because I like to test it at big family/friends gatherings where the I can test and gauge the reactions on multiple age subjects of both sexes.

I do have to say that Ascend oil in the Aventus scent smells great, and I'm very glad that SteveO now offers 10 scents to most of his consumer line products, plus the option to get them unscented as well. Very well done SteveO, very well done...

I also suggest the following things with ascend oil (with cops ) or at least the versions I have from 2013:

a. over use , both daily ie using ascend more than 4 days in a row or higher Doses Reapped over fewer days can start to lead to negative effects
b. watch out for super hot weather and dosing again. the oil works better the the spray in heat but you'll want to consider reducing the dose.

I find usually when I'm not overusing ascend oil I get pure respect without much deviation from different cultures but the effects change after a few days of build up.

also with ascend oil I find it works best when I'm reserved rather than chatty . it works better with me sitting a bit in the background where is shines because when I try high energy behaviour with it , it doesn't work that well. everyone is different though so that might just be how it works for me. I get that calm dependable alpha male vibe perfectly with this product.

I took a long break from it but have been using it solidly over the last 3 months in the cold weather and it has been a great product mainly for respect and compliance. I don't see it as being super attractive on its own but again others may be able to work it better than me.

I agree with right_mr on not over using ascend. 1 day of ascend is amazing. 2-3 days in a row with ascend made me agitated with none of the benefits. I liked to do 3 days off when I had my sample and 1 day with it on. Will be ordering more when I get enough money.

I noticed fear based respect from people whom I would consider enemies at work. What is funny is that when I came to work without ascend they snapped at me or gave me dirty looks. If people talk to you like the godfather on ascend and then act differently without it, they might be your enemies. Friendly people were more likely to open up to me without the fear part. I realize now one girl who was scared of me was actually my enemy. I thought she was scared cause she was younger, but she was afraid of me cause I represented an authority figure and she was a shady person who no longer works there. I am not a boss at work, but it gives off that vibe. I felt like I knew who all my enemies were, but this one made me see a couple I missed.

Ascend is better than the socials for making me relaxed and removing my anxiety, especially in situations I don't normally like much. My words come out smooth and I am not as worried about approval seeking and what others think. Ascend is my favorite work mone and I wear barely legal on the days when I am not wearing ascend.
