I have been using my products for less than one week now. So far I\'ve had the best results from the SOE and nol products. Not much yet from none, although I\'ve been trying the different mixes of JB1, JBX, and RM. But, I know this is going to take some time and experimenting. So far my only noticiable reaction that I feel I can attribute to the pheromones was my first use of SOE when I think I OD\'ed. I think I OD\'d so much that the smell of the SOE was making me cough while driving in my car. Yet, this strong application seemed to get results on my first day.
Since then, I\'ve been wrestling with just how much is enough, too much, or not enough. I know this takes some experimenting as well in order to get hits and results..and I\'ve tried to follow the guidelines that people on here give as far as how many dabs they use etc.
But I\'m kind of wanting some guideance on determining just how much is too much in terms of an obvious strong smell of cologne to those around me. Up to now I\'ve never ever even worn any cologne or aftershave of any kind. So I find myself wondering just how strong my smell is to other people around me, and how far away or close they have to be to pick up anything. This would be a question I\'d ask if it were strictly cologne and no pheros. Does anybody have any rule of thumb they follow to tell themselves what\'s just right from the strength you can smell yourself?
I know this evening I put on two sprays of JBX on the sides of my neck and then went out to supper at a restaurant about an hour and a half later. I know the strength of the smell diminished after some time....but I still found myself quite often catching whiffs of myself...and it seemed I could always tell that thre was a smell there. I know this is because the spray was so close to my nose and is to be expected. But, I find myself often feeling like everybody in the building can smell me a mile away and is staring at me since I can constantly smell myself, although I know this isn\'t the case. But, rather than feeling more confident I tend to feel a bit more self-conscious like everybody is staring at me because my smell is so strong. Then again, since I\'ve had no results from any none products yet, I wonder if I haven\'t used enough. Then again, I suppose it\'s possible I used too much.
So, the two sprays of JBX I used tonight.....how strong do you think that would be to somebody...say 2 or 3 feet away from me in a restaurant? Would it have been subtle, yet still enough to let the pheros do their work? Or, would it have been rather strong to them from that distance or perhaps not strong enough for them to have smelled anything?
Again, I\'m just trying to see if there\'s any way of getting some feedback on the strength of my scent on others based on how strongly I can smell myself. I do not have a close enough friend that I feel I can go to for feedback. Also since I\'ve never used cologne in the past, I don\'t want to suddenly stick out to people as a sad middle-aged guy who\'s making an obvious effort to interest women by trying cologne...although I suppose in the end that\'s what it really is. :-) I\'m just trying to add cologne in a subtle way around people I know rather thsn in an obvious way.. For this reason, I\'ve ordered AE since I\'ve read it\'s scent is a lot more subtle than many others.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any guideance anybody can provide to help me to know just how to judge the strength of my scent to those around me.
