First of all, thundr, I'd like to say that you haven't sent me an awesome set of 'mones.
No, you've created a full-blown weapon...dear God, this is a weapon.
With that said, I'm glad that I've been allowed to join in on the 'mone roller-coaster through Core and Imprint! Let's get on with how this went!
[Packaging and delivery]
The contents were packaged in a bubble-wrap envelope, each of the products (Core/Imprint in Fury Scents and a small sample of Dionysus) individually wrapped in ziplock plastic and sealed to prevent leaks and exposure. A great deal of care was put into this!
[Scents and Self-Effects]
I waited a day and scrubbed myself down pretty well before I tried the products out. My intended app points were my neck and wrists---usual areas where I apply cologne, as most had advised, so I took care to make sure those areas were treated with witch hazel. If I'm gonna jump into this foray, then I'm going to start with a clean slate!
The plan: 2 Sprays of Core at the back and front of the neck, and one spray to rub between my wrists. Core's got a light, fresh scent to it...a floral feel to it! I felt a little lifted just spraying it on (first-mone-use excitement aside)!
Imprint's scent, however, hit me like a truck. Good lord, my nose felt like it was assaulted by the lumberjacks of the world, but it wore down and left a musky woods scent. 'Freakin' manly' definitely came to mind, but I tried to tone it down with a little bit of cocoa butter once it dried. I'm sure that I'll get used to the scent soon, but man...!
Even though half of me wanted the self effects to be instant, I remembered reading to just let it sit for about 20-30 min and let it kick in. Guess it was a good time to watch an episode of Hannibal, and think about where I wanted to go wafting the Core/Imprint combo.
So I kicked it, noting a few things I had to get for my place from WalMart, paying attention to Will's analysis of the case they're solving whennnnnnHOLYCRAPINEEDTOBESOCIAL. Time to take this out to the field!
The mix had me feeling like a boss---everything felt right, nothing could go wrong, and if it did, then screw it because I FELT GREAT.
[The Field Tests]
I'll jump to the major hits of the day.
I was intending to take this awesome feeling to WalMart, but I was a little hungry. Lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings it was! There's always plenty of eye-candy there---and wings, I guess. Besides, this was for SCIENCE!
After a family of four was treated to their tables, I came up. The waitress (mid 20's, I'm guessing) had given me a look of reproach from at the door, but when I was in her space, her eyes widened. She had slightly preened herself too...but I was just waiting for the typical "Hi, how many today?" I opted her with a simple 'Is the bar open?' I could have sworn she had stuttered a bit, but she was happy to show me the way. Guess that's a hit!
The bartender (late 30's-40's, I assume) was having herself a field day with work by time I sat down. I simply grabbed a menu, got her attention and asked for a beer. When she asked for my ID, the Imprint must have hit her; "What do you want?" turned into "What can I get for you sweethart? How's everything tasting?" and all kinds of other things as we made idle conversation! Some of the guys I sat with at the bar were a little less-than-talkative, but one of them gave a remark---"You never call me sweetheart!" Definitely a hit!
Ah, right. WalMart. I have a tendancy to go in with an idea of what to get, where to get it, and which line with the least resistance I can get my goods. With the Core/Imprint combo...I'll just say that I made it quite clear that if you looked, wore a tag in, and were making a personal phone call to someone behind a register at WalMart, then most customers would assume that you'd be able to ring up a $2 purchase. Funny thing was, others around me found it funny, too! ....Then again, I'm sure many would be a little impatient while waiting for an associate for 20 minutes, too...
Next stop--the mall! Inside Barnes and Noble, I approached a good-looking brunette in talking about different mystery novels. Attractive she was, but I didn't want to entertain the thought of a number close. She did move in closer to me...the 'mones definitely must have got her. Hit!
Later in the evening, I went to the local Japanese restaurant to grab some sake and a quick bite. While I did notice a few stares as I took my seat at the bar, the key scene happened when a waitress (mid-20s, but she's Asian--I could be off) got my order. Usually, they run off and make busy, especially when someone's having a birthday party...but not this one. She stood by waiting in front of me. Hair-twirling, coy smile, offered to wipe my hand off when I had a small sake spill...the combo hit this one hard, so I assume! We made some small talk about cooking different goods, joked a little on the whole 'happy birthday appeal' in a Japanese restaurant, and had an awesome time! I'm certain I saw a sad look come up when I told her I had to go home. If that's not a hit, then I dunno what is.
[Post Notes]
At the moment, this is what I have after the first day of wearing this prime stuff. I'm giving myself a few days off so I can let it diffuse from there and try it out in a new scenario---probably the bar and club scene! This stuff is definitely a social booster, and it's great that they work well together! Now, the next part is just to see how Dionysus works out...!
Until then, I present to you all my first jump in the pheromone pool...I think I found my new favorite hobby! Keep on the lookout for more results, and chime in at your leisure!
