Review of AWARE – Unisex Confidence Enhancer by Luv Essentials
2/21/13
I tested Aware, a unisex confidence enhancer by Luv Essentials off and on from Jan 2013-Feb 2013. The product is .25 fl ounces and comes in a bottle with a dropper cap. For some reason, a few weeks after breaking the seal and opening the bottle, nearly a third of the product evaporated, prior to my using it. So I had to transfer Aware out of the dropper bottle and into another bottle.
Aware’s fragrance smells strongly of medicine and or menthol. After applying to skin, sometimes there was no fragrance, sometimes there was a hint of the menthol/medicine, and at other times, the fragrance smelled very masculine on my skin. I usually don’t care about fragrances, but since I am a woman this did bother me.
In the beginning, an average application for me was two sprays to the neck, one to my hands, and or wrists.
Aware did produce very strong self-effects. I felt somewhat spacey on my first day wearing it. On subsequent test days I felt very lethargic, yawned uncontrollably, and sometimes had a low level anxiety/jitteriness that caused me to fidget. Eventually the lethargic episodes increased to the point where I could not stay awake while wearing this product.
There were one or two times where I would awaken in the evening after realizing that I had slept for a number of hours (during the day) without planning to or intending to fall asleep.
Due to these self effects, I confined my application points to my wrists and hands only. I usually applied one spray to the top of my hands and wrists. I later increased the number of sprays to 2 on the tops of my hands and wrists.
I felt maybe applying the product only to my hands would stop me from feeling lethargic and eventually falling asleep. Changing my application points only made the previously mentioned self-effects less immediate. As the day wore on, I still became lethargic and would fall asleep.
The effects on others were really hard to guage. This product induced a mental fog and I couldn’t detect any blatant or subtle shifts in the behavior of those around me. Ultimately, I feel that I received no hits while wearing this product.
I am hesitant to continue testing this product to find a sweet spot because I don’t like the lethargy and the falling asleep.
I hope my results are atypical and that others have better luck.
