The scents from AD never really bothered me... sure they arent top notch designer colognes or anything but I did receive compliments on the smell of them a lot. What I didnt like was having to mix scents when you wanted to wear different mones together. My p83 was Akuto, my ammo was F22 i think (the cool water flowery kind of smell), and the rest were neroli. Although this did work out to my advantage one time

. I wore 1-2 sprays of ammo on one wrist and then wore 1-2 sprays of something neroli (cant remember but prolly Instant Openness or Instant Honesty) when I went to a small house party. This girl said I smelt good and I told her that I was testing some new colognes and asked her to take a whiff of each wrist and tell me which one smelled better (yea get all up in those mones honey LOL). Take a wild guess who was my best buddy the rest of the night and had some extracurricular activities with once the party cleared out in the afterhours

. But yea I try and get my mones unscented now and just cover with my own cologne so I can avoid mixing different scents and I can wear what ever scent I am in the mood for or the scent that will fit the setting I will be in. Plus who really wears more then one cologne at once?
As far as A314 goes, it sucks that there is no real sub for it. I don't necessarily need it to be successful at work and I don't even wear it every day at work. I have been in my supervisory position for a few years now and there is very little turnover so I have had almost the same employees for years and have built rapport with them and gained their respect before I even used mones. But a little A314 definitely helps out

. One of the craziest respect hits I ever got was in my first week of testing it at work. I work for a large shipping company here in the US and part of my responsibility at the end of the night is to check the trucks in the mechanics shop to make sure there aren't any packages in them leftover. I never really had much of a relationship with the mechanics and would usually just say Hi to them as I checked all the trucks in the shop. They are big jokesters and ballbusters and would always mess with me and say stuff like "this truck has 50 air packages in it" or "why are you checking this truck, its been in the shop for the past 3 days". So anyways one day in that first week of me testing my A314 I was in there checking one of the trucks and my shoelace was untied. One of the mechanics noticed and said "Hey man your shoelace is untied" and then proceeded to get down on a knee on the dirty floor and tie my shoe for me. My jaw almost dropped to the floor in amazement at what was happening. Its as if the A314 convinced him to "Bow before your master and tie his shoe"

Maybe I am over analyzing what happened and he was just trying to joke around or something but I don't think I would get down on a knee on a dirty oil covered floor and tie someone else's shoe for them. Over the past year I have become a lot friendlier with the mechanics as well and if I'm not too busy I will actually hang out and have a conversation with them instead of just saying hi to them and going about my business like I use to.
One thing I noticed about A314 that I don't particularly like is that if something happens that angers or irritates me while wearing A314, it seems to increase my anger or irritation exponentially. I am normally a very easy going, laid back and calm person but I do have the problem of letting my anger or problems boil up until I just EXPLODE. But it seems that while wearing A314, once that one thing happens to piss me off or irritate me I just blow a gasket!! Tonight one of my employees made a stupid mistake and I flipped out on them and took the package they screwed up on and threw it at them (not real hard but afterwards I realized that it was still a stupid move) while I was yelling at them. I had to leave my area to cool off and calm down and I later apologized to the employee and the employee said they knew I didn't mean to actually throw the package at them. So word to the wise... don't piss me off while Im wearing my A314

LOL. Has anyone else experienced this extreme anger or irritation while wearing A314?
Sorry for the real long post but I wanted to share a few stories of my phero usage.
