Surprised not to see a dedicated thread about Odyssey XS.
Overall it's my #2 favorite mone of all time after MX297. Would instantly brighten up a room, ferry ride, laughter, etc. The only problem was the Clary Sage seemed to lose its potency rather quickly.
The next time I pick up a bottle, I'll try and find some Clary Sage essential oil to see if I can maintain its longevity. (After a year, it was barely different than Instant Openness and the Clary Sage smell was mostly gone, but the first few months were gold).
Haven't tried yet, but I have to place a new XS order so... how do you use it?
Have you tried Limitless also?

Essential oils generally do better if you store them in a refrigerator. Maybe the same is true of Odyssey. It would probably be good to transfer it to a glass container too if it's in one of the pxs plastic sprayers.

The glass bottle, is that advice for this specific product, because it contains essential oil?
In my experience all plastic bottles allow some degree of evaporation, and the smaller/lighter a molecule, the more likely it is to get out. Clary sage is a top note, so my thinking is it could evaporate out quicker than pheromones can. But I prefer glass bottles for everything in general, so that you're not losing alcohol.

Unfortunately it didn't do much for me. I didn't get that dreamy state and I didn't see it at other people.
I'm looking forward to some reports, though. Was it mainly a social/shiner? Or did you actually get that dreamy vibe? (When the essential oil was still potent.) Was the diffusion that good that you lighted up a whole ferry?
I didn't know that the essential oil of the Clary Sage did lose its potency so quickly. I thought essential oils had a longer shelf life. Maybe just some have and others don't.
Imagine laughing gas, you spray ONE spray on your neck and EVERYONE behind you (wind on the ferry)/around you spontaneously bursts in to laughter and excited conversation for the next 3-7 minutes depending upon the individual. Post that, it's just a feel good social.
Another user on the old PheroTruth site posted the same, but after a few months the effect began to wane till it was basically IO, which being honest, is Androtics weakest mone.
As for the essential oil question, yeah, most last for years, but in my opinion, the Clary Sage doesn't and must be used up within 3-4 months (but I could be wrong here as I don't know exactly how long it was from when Steve made the batch and I and other users received it). Guaranteed, by 15 months, the Clary Sage had almost entirely faded and was basically a strange smelling social, with practically nothing remaining of the original effect.
