certo

well, ive been looking for a similar product to instant gentleman that doesnt have androstenone, but still gives the respect factor. i simply love the effects that i get from instant gentleman. not the effects on myself but the effects on others(i dont notice self effects with IG). only thing for me was that i like an oil based product better. i didnt realize this untill i purchased from liquid alchemy and used their products. this is personal preference of course, i just like the fact that it disperses closer to me, so itll only effect people in close proximity. also it does seem to last longer.
so i got my certo in the mail, shipping was fairly quick considering the holiday weekend. it came in a small box filled with black paper string confetti, an invoice, and a tip sheet with some info on the product.
the certo i got, looks nothing like the picture in the website. its less fancy and has a gold sprayer with a gold cap. yes it included a cap i guess because people complained about it. personally i dont care if it had a cap, or if the bottle looks more generic than their previous stock, but they really should update their website with the newer bottles or put up a disclaimer, for the more picky people. im more interested in the effects.
soooo... i decided to give the bottle a few shakes, and then gave my wrist a spray to see what this smelled like, and if there were any self effects. let me start by saying i appreciate nice smelling colognes and perfumes but i dont really wear much, i have a half bottle of nautica in my medicine cabinet thats at least 2 years old because i just dont think to use it. if it wasnt for pheromones i wouldnt really use cologne. but again i do appreciate a nice smelling cologne.
i ordered this in musk, thinking it was the stronger of the options since alpha dreams does have higher concentrate mone formulas. but, its not strong at all, its very very very faint, infact i can smell a kind of plastic smell i guess from the silicone more than the actual cologne. after it dries the plastic smell goes away but also the musk scent gets even more lost, to the point that i can only smell it if i put my hand to my face.
my only concern with this is if the smell of mones can be noticed. i think im one of those people that absolutely can not smell mones, so it leaves me a bit concerned if others can smell it since there is virtually no cologne smell.
comparing it to other products ive used id say liquid alchemy has some really nice smelling products, and is very strong and prominent and seems to last a while slowly losing strength but never completely going away. the Androtics stuff smell great also but isnt as strong, which i dont mind because even though its not as prominent as LA it is still noticeably there and lasts a while also. the certo is very faint, almost compares to soap or light bodywash where you can smell it if you put ur nose up to your arm.
ok so now as im writing this i have some on, and im constantly smelling my wrist to see if i can detect mones, or any foul odors, but i dont. all i can smell is very faint cologne. i do notice a calming effect and an overall mellow attitude. as if im in no hurry, and im deliberate in my actions and thinking. now this is a good thing because it means it works, it does something. the only other product to give me self effects was possess alpha from LA, but it was more of an anxious feeling i guess due to the high contents of androstenone. i do have to get some milk so maybe another spray before i leave to see the effects on other people, and also might stop by and visit family. certo doesnt seem like an aggressive mix so it might work nice with family.
so far so good. quick shipping, dont smell mones, and i actually get positive self effects.
hopefully ill have positive results when i go out.
