Thanks!
Well I have some Ascend (without cops) and Dominant Ascend. I'm not so convinced by them, and I think it's partly the alcohol base... I remember now these don't stay on my skin for long. Bare in mind, the old A314 is my benchmark, and I'm trying to keep an open mind as to how to use different products.
On order are TUSC, Captain, Alpha Treasure, Wolf, Nude Alpha, Aqua Vitae, Alpha Q, and Corporativo. Most of them are tester quantities.
My first challenge is an interview probably in a few weeks. I won't have a lot of time to try out everything and find what works. The interview is for a job in the finance industry, so looking sharp is important. Being sharp-minded also. I'm late-30s, however I've taken many different career paths and various breaks, so many going into this kind of job will be mid-20s. Being alpha in this industry can be good, but on the other hand I'm not sure I want to appear too alpha at this stage. That being said, I'm told at least one of the interviewees is about my age, female, middle-eastern, and she will be my future boss.
At first I wrote Wolf off, but reading the forums this seems to give off such a likeable vibe, that people just want to hire you. I'm curious to know if that would work in this kind of industry also... there is a strong intellectual/analytical element to the job, and I wonder if Wolf gives the right impression in this case. I was thinking I could enhance a leadership potential vibe with some drops of Alpha Treasure (or one of the other alpha oils), though I understand it might be at the cost of some of the likeable vibe.
Then I was reading about Aqua Vitae, it sounds like more of the alpha vibe of old days, there also seem to be good reports of people using this for interviews.
I definitely won't be trying all of them, there simply isn't time. But given my background, which for the interview:
1. Wolf
2. Wolf + some alpha oil drops
3. Aqua Vitae
4. Something else?
Oh yeh, and if they don't diffuse fast, I was thinking to just spray one Ascend 15-30 minutes before the interview, just for some quick first impressions.
I'll try to find out a bit more about the interview/working culture before the interview, which should hopefully give a few better insights
