Best projecting colognes / oils

[Magpie]

I have a few medium priced and a few high priced cover mones.
The one I like and use 90% of the time is Calvin Klein One in a 200ml Bottle.
I like the smell and the diffusion does seem better than the other cover
colognes I have. I spent the last few months reading this XSforum and
PheroTruth forum, for the best suggestions for cover mones. Thanks to all.

I know this is a really old post just wanted to say not every situation is of her being around. Sometimes I go somewhere quick like a store and a girl will see me briefly I would want to use a quick mix where I'm only out for an hour or two. I hate dancing and hate clubs too loud. Bars OK maybe a girl is sitting in my cloud for a long time then I'm fine. But different environments and what you're actually doing you will want that faster up front hitter. "If things go well, I might be showing her my oh face" ????. Then when you meet up you use the slow mix

This would prolly be way too much work but if we could even have current mixes with two "speeds". That'd be awesome

I just ordered 100ml Iso E Super from internet.
I plan on putting between 1ml and 5ml in some
of my 10ml, 15ml & 30mlXS bottles. Mostly to
speed up the diffusion, as CJW255 mentions in
above post. Also to slightly dilute my mones, as
I'm running low in a few. Most bottles are still
50% to 90% full. Some are 10%. XS mones
generally do last for a long time though. I'll
post any results here in this Thread, that are
noticeable, in the weeks to come.

From the perfumes that I use, I think that Hermes -Terre d`Hermes contains the ISO E super ( 55% concentration according to http://www.basenotes.net/threads/378...of-ISO-E-super ). It increases the projection of pheromone oils and covers their scent effectively for 8-10 hrs.

[Magpie]

Yes Panikos,
And it seems that a lot of perfumes and colognes now contain this perfume ingredient.

As above post by Panikos.

Some interesting stats - fragrances ranked by ISO E-Super concentration:

Re: Best fragrances with a lot of ISO-E super -

1. Molecule 01 (escentric molecules, 2005) 100%
2. Perles de Lalique (Lalique, 2007) 80%
3. PoivreSamarcande (Herme`s, 2004) 71%

So my 100ml Iso E Super arrived today. I bought it locally online.
I diluted 4 of my bottles.

Cohesion 5mlXS + 10ml IsoEsuper = 33%XS 67%IsoEsuper
Ascend 1mlXS + 5ml IsoEsuper = 17%XS 83%IsoEsuper
Evolve 1mlXS + 5ml IsoEsuper = 17%XS 83%IsoEsuper
SOB 5mlXS + 10ml IsoEsuper = 33%XS 67%IsoEsuper

I will be running different stacks together 3 or 4 mones.
At least 2 will contain an IsoEsuper XSmone blend.

I will report back in coming days, with any usual positive results.
I'm sure there will be results.

Well my dilution diffusion experiment did not work out to be
successful. First, the strong smell of Vodka or petroleum smell
stays on for hours. And the projection does not seem to be
increased.

I sprayed each day
3xSprays Xist
3xSprays Love Boat
Then 4xSprays SOB, or 4xEvolve, or 4xAscend, or 4xCohesion.

So only 3 mone blends each day.
Xist, Love Boat, and 1 of the IsoEsuper Diluted Mones.

Oh well, that shows that you may not be able to create your
own blend so easily. I have in the past poured a few mone
blends in a bottle to create a blend which doesn't work.
In fact, it turns out to be an OD mix. I have over the years
poured the mone blends in my aftershave bottle. That was
more successful. But still not an accurately balanced dosed mix.
I'll just let the experts at XS create the perfect mone blends.
SteveO is working hard, and I am a happy customer. I guess
this whole mone adventure will get better as the years go by,
and SteveO creates more magic blends.

I do think that the isoEsuper colognes that Panikos was
referring to in the above link,

http://www.basenotes.net/threads/378364-Best-fragrances-with-a-lot-of-ISO-E-super

may actually help with projection. If they also cover the scent,
then that would be a big bonus.

After 9 days the isoEsuper smell seems to have dissipated by about 80%.
That is, as I open the 4 bottles and take a smell. Also as I spray the
isoEsuperXS solutions on me, the petroleum smell is not anywhere near
as strong as last week. So I'll give the testing another shot. As I'm such
a stubborn moth....ker. This time, because the petro smell is not so strong
anymore, I'll go more sprays.
Today:
Xist 3xSprays
Love Boat 3xSprays
Cohesion(IsoEsuper) 9xSprays 33%Coh

[Magpie]

....Well, i won't do that again.
The isoEsuper is a much weaker smell now. But still has a slight
rocket fuel smell to it. On it's own, it has not much smell at all.
Kind of like a gentle peach smell maybe. But when mixed in the
mones, it overpowers the mone mix smell. I think it may also
deteriorate the quality of the mone mix dramatically. That is,
because the SOB & Cohesion isoEsuper mixes, seemed to not
show their effects that I'm used to, when added to a stack.
So I guess I'll just go back to basics again. No harm done.

What is ISO-E

[Magpie]

Iso E Super is a synthetic chemical used in lots of newer
perfumes and colognes. For its fragrance, projection of
perfume/cologne, and maybe a few more reasons. It has
been used in soaps, detergents, air fresheners, etc, for
around 10 years.
