View Full Version : Lack of hits and JB#1 (APC and NPA) weak scent

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I haven't really had any unusual reactions to
the JB #1 I've been wearing over the past few days.
Well, more accurately, I made a mix of NPA and APC in the
range of 30/70 to 20/80, so maybe it's not exactly JB#1.
Last night I put on about 10-12 drops of my mix (from
an eye-dropper bottle) before I went out. I also put maybe 2/3 of an SOE gel-pack (scented I'm guessing, but not an
incredibly strong scent.) Didn't really notice anything unusual in the way people reacted to me. Throughout the
night I initiated several conversations with groups of strangers (or in one case I guess I kind of just sat myself
down at a table where some people were having a conversation that was of great interest to me and joined in).
I
went to a total of 4 bars throughout the course of the night, but I don't think any of the girls looked twice at
me. The problem might be my own because maybe I don't project the amount of confidence that most other guys do, but
I was expecting a few glances from the girls at least. I also didn't get any comments on smelling good, or smelling
bad even. It was like people couldn't smell that I was wearing anything, and honestly I couldn't either, so I was
going to the bathroom every now and then to reapply my mix from the dropper bottle (about 1 or 2 drops every time I
went to reapply).
For some reason, the APC I have does not smell very strongly once I put it on, but does have a
pretty long-lasting faint scent. I'm guessing the pheromones are active longer than the smell is, but for some
reason I keep reading about how the smell of APC is supposed to be very strong and last a long time?

First, if you're going to complain about JB1, at least do the right ratios. What you have is a JBwannabe! :lol:
Second, 10-12 drops of that stuff is an over kill, Killer!!!! I've heard people using as high as 8 drops, but
over the years 2-4 was what most said ... no wonder no one looked at you, Axe murderer!
Third, you're going to
have to experiment with lower dosages.
Fourth, stop worrying about the scent being week ... the feline's
nose can smell what/when your nose can't. Make that a tattoo where no one can see it but you.
Fifth, if
you're really worrried about the weak scent ... Cool Water is JB1's closest kin! :thumbsup:
Sixth, good luck
and keep trying!:run:

Sorry, but it isn't your
fragrance, it's your self-esteem. Your personal problems are weighing on you, justifiably so.
Until the
weight is lifted or you've come to internal acceptance of your situation, expect similar reactions.
There go
I but by the grace of God.
Best wishes.

To be honest, I was
still a little drunk this morning when I made this thread, and was frustrated because I didn't get what I wanted
last night (laid) :rant: Also, I was pretty disappointed about not getting a DIHL or, even more desirable, the
impression that a chick right next to me was getting wet. There is nothing I like more than knowing that my mere
presence is causing a girl to soak her panties with desire.
I don't think my usage was that overboard. It's
hard to say what constitutes a drop, because different JB1 mixes get put in different dropper bottles. I know that a
moderate dose of NPA is considered to be between 2 and 6 dabs with the plastic insert thingie on. I've read
accounts of as many as 8, with good results. I figured out today, from looking at the remainders of my APC and NPA
bottles, that I in fact only put
~1mL of NPA
and
~7mL of APC
into the "JB1" mix, so this wasn't really JB1, I
was pretty off in how much NPA I had put into it. Maybe the NPA amount was as high as 1.5, but it's still a weak
mix.
So I think the amount I used wasn't that much, probably around the equivalent of 2-3 dabs NPA (plastic
insert on).
Also, I think I actually have been getting good results from the mix, just not the sexual ones I've
been looking for. A lot of my coworkers are black girls around my age, and they have been friendlier to me since I
started wearing the mix, but I think this is more due to a change in my own attitude (I think my behavior is
effected by the -none more than anyone around me).
However, I sweat a lot at work, and in general with the
summer heat and incredible humidity here. I sweat more than everyone else I know. Not really sure why, but it just
drips off of me. This is really my main bone with -none, I don't feel the products last long on me. But, not just
cause of sweat, maybe because of some skin interaction as well. I'll put on a dab of APC, and it will smell
moderately from a distance of 1 ft. or closer, but be pretty hard to smell it from any further than 1.5 ft. (I'm
sure the pheromones are effective at a greater distance than the scent though). It also seems that even this
moderate smell fades pretty quickly, after about 30 minutes, you have to have the application pretty much in your
face to smell it (I generally wear my mix on my wrists, so I can gauge how odorescent it is.)
Now, I have a
really good sense of smell (and a large schnozz to boot.) I am one of those people who can tell if a friend is
wearing something and what they're wearing if I have encountered it before. I can tell what ingredients and spices
are being used when someone is cooking something. So I think I would know if the APC fragrance was lasting longer
than I am able to detect it for.
Fourth, stop worrying about the scent being week ... the feline's
nose can smell what/when your nose can't.
I don't know if this is a L-S forum inside joke, a
tongue-in-cheek reference to women as "pussy", or just a slip of hand. But I am trying to attract human females, not
felines :D. I think if I can't smell a fragrance I'm wearing on my neck, it's probably not discernable to anyone
else around me.
I have worn nice-smelling colognes before and gotten compliments from people around me who
liked the smell, or feedback from those who didn't or were neutral to the smell. But I still knew when people
smelled it. With the APC, it's just not strong enough to make me smell good to other people for very long. Dunno
why.
Fifth, if you're really worrried about the weak scent ... Cool Water is JB1's closest kin!

I noticed this and Creed Irish Green Tweed mentioned as smell-alikes and might look into getting
one. Thanks.

Definitely will do :thumbsup: Thanks
again.

are weighing on you, justifiably so.

You're probably right about the self-esteem being low. But I
don't buy this David DeAngelo "Inner game" cockamamey (though I'm not implying you're familiar with this, it's
just a common idea).
I think how you act around a girl you just met, what you say, and the overall presentation
are what influence her reaction to you. I think even if you don't have the "inner game" worked out, you can make a
good impression and come off as someone who has it all together.
Think of all these celebrities who seem fine
and perfect, who then get checked into rehab or come out about their bulimia/anorexia. They may be dealing with
personal self-esteem issues, but you usually can't tell.
I think if I can't smell a
fragrance I'm wearing on my neck, it's probably not discernable to anyone else around me.
FYI, women tend
to have a better sense of smell than us guys (although maybe not you). So you have to be a bit careful with your
odors. What is normal for you might be like walking into a wall for them when they get close to you. Just another
one of those things to think about on the checklist of life... lol.
For lasting time, it's hard to say. The
usual thing you see on the forums is about 4 hours unless there is an od (some say around 8 hours or longer if you
put it on your hair/clothes).
With your snozz, you may be able to tell on some of the pheromones. I've
noticed on some that you get a bit of a tickle in the back of your nose/throat. I'm thinking that's the
pheromones, although not sure.
Cover scents may last longer, but you can't assume that just because you can
smell the cover scent, that the pheremone is still working (or that because you can't smell the cover scent, that
it isn't working, since you tend to get used to the smells).

It's not necessary for the
pheromone itself to be consciously detected/smelled by your target. Many of the products are unscented, as I'm sure
you've noticed.
A cover scent, whether built into the product or applied over it, not only covers the scent
of 'none, but encourages deeper inhalations by your target, the better to deliver your pheromones to her nose.
By the way, scent worn around your neck is more likely than in other locations to seem to you to have worn
off quickly due to your own olfactory fatigue. In other words, you may lose perception of it before others around
you do.
The fact that you sweat a lot probably means you do burn off scent more quickly than others, and you
may be rinsing off your pheromones more quickly too ... you may need to wash the application spot and reapply at
least every 4 hours - or apply it to your hair or clothing for longer effect.
