After my unhappiness with Glace, I bought Core (fury) after some recommendations and reading good reviews. I saw that core was one of a lot of peoples top 5 in the top 5 mones of 2015-2016 thread or something like that. I put on Core and went to a family gathering. Aunts, uncles and and many female cousins/second cousins
Noticed no difference at all in the sociability of people towards me. No difference in eye contact either
And these are family, not strangers.

People who don't usually greet me/talk to me first were the same way and people who do talk to me didn't talk to me anymore than usual. People seemed to even speak a little less. You get days like that, Not saying that was because of Core, it's just to show how much it didn't work.

And I've used to recommended dose on the Apex site or close to it. Don't tell me a spray or half a spray will make everything suddenly turn around.

Used it at work too, no difference. Still deal with uninterested and agitated people.

This thing seriously sucks.
I'm not worried about the money as that can be made back/refunded.

I'm disappointed at how much this thing didn't work.

I don't understand what makes people happy with these things and keep buying.
Disappointed with core...

Am I one of those guys who mones just wont work for?

Nope you're not alone. In fact, there's a thread for mones that don't work for people...

But it's becoming apples and oranges as I've said before. For me, Core is nothing short of outstanding. For others, not so.

How long have you been using Core?

Hi, you've got two good products. The first bit of advice I would give is to avoid the trap of thinking that something else is going to work.The second bit is this. Give one of these products a good consistent test for two weeks. Keep a little diary just to remind you of what you did every day. Wear it two days on two days off, then three days on three days off then two days on two days off.wait another week and then review your experience. If you still don't see any difference in the days you wear vs the days you don't, list your leftover product in the trading post section cut your losses and walk away..

You might need some better ways to quantify the success/failure of a purchased product.

What is your goal?........if you say "so be more social"....understand that there is a lot more involved in this than just a mone signature, and how would you measure the success of such a mix?

Core and Glace are good products........but also very complex mixes, so you need an appropriate measuring tool to judge their effectiveness.

An example would be asking 100 girls for their number. 33 while wearing Core.........33 wearing Glace, and 34 wearing cologne only. Then you could actually make a fair initial judgement on those products.

Also, both of the products that you listed don't work without your congruent behaviour............be sure that you are not countering the mones with some strange behaviour.

Haha.......

Seriously, one experiment and you decided that core doesn't work. I would have thrown most of my best mones in dustbin with this thinking. You will not understand core until half the bottle is over. First few run would be dry. Only after 50 interaction and more , you will be understand the mix after that.

I hope you test it more and report back.

Looking forward to your experiment.

I find it more helpful to test around strangers or people that don't know you that well. Your family and people at work already have a baseline idea of who you are. One time wearing pheromones around them is not enough to change their view. The other problem is, if you're already pretty much liked by everyone at work and family, it will be that much harder to notice the subtle differences that core will produce.

But let's say there is someone in your family that doesn't like you that much. You show up wearing core. They probably still won't like you that much at that moment because they already have a set idea that they don't like you. But the more you expose them to mones that make you more likable, they may change their view about you and think "set9" ain't that bad after all. But it will take time. If you're going to wear a mone once and then conclude it doesn't work, you may as well stop now because you are heading down a very frustrating road if that's your mindset. Spray your mones like you would do with any normal cologne and go about your day like you normally do. Don't walk around staring and looking for IOIs.... people will pick up on this and you will become creepy.

What Spider-mone said... Strangers will be a much better guage... Took me awhile to realize that.

I second what Spider-mone and renny said. Although there are some CORE does nothing for, it'll take far more than one test to determine if this is true for you as well. CORE is a product that works based on how the user drives it, more than most products I can think of. Give it at least 2-3 weeks around strangers at varying doses (and yes, 1 spray can make a major difference), then decide if you want to sell or return it.

In my case, I'm split on buying another bottle of CORE. In my experience, although it works close to 90% of the time, I can't always rely on the mix doing anything at all. My behavior is consistent, my targets are consistent, the effects aren't always consistent. Something in CORE is causing minor inconsistencies in my case, so I may just have to develop my own version of CORE for personal use until thundr can find out what's causing this issue (if he does). That 90% of the time, CORE is a great mix, but when I have a similar mix I can rely on 100% of the time (Impi Red), 90% doesn't cut it.

It seems to be CORE and variations and some of the test kitchen mixes (including Style when it was in there) I've had consistency problems with. Orbital seemed to work every time I've tried it (limited testing so far), though it was a bit beta on own, too friendly compared to my baseline. It could use a touch more androsterone and androstenone.

Core is a very niche product for me . It's not really a day wear product for my personality . It's only only to wear when I'm out and have had a few drinks and it gives me a good energy boost and let's me take over interactions. It isn't impressive for me in more chilled out environments and wearing it with friends and family.

I've had nice interactions in low energy environments combining core and imprint but I found it works well when I go out on the lash and want to be energetic and extroverted .

Different stroked for different folks though. It maybe great for others during day time or regular socialising but this one and m3x only work well for me when I'm out on the prowl

Core make me very upbeat and kinda child-like which may be good for casual gathering than office.
