When I got this, I got the attuning tincture as well. While I feel the attuning tincture is throughout the day and has the potential to make a person irritable and annoyed over the course of a day. This feels much more safe and for the moment. It invokes the motivation to go out and do something rather than 'waiting' to do it. Ive taken it for the gym, and found amazing results, as well as playing tennis.

I’ve used the Antares hydrosol over the past few weeks. The first day of aura attuning and spraying above the crown was intense but really primed the pump. Compared to the Mars in Scorpio or Exalted Sol waters I own, this one literally kicks (your) ass. I use it very early in the morning and wakes me up faster than my coffee takes to make and lets me complete my martial tasks with a sense of immediacy, purpose, and motivation.

I like this water for accessibility to Martial energy on the go. While using other materia from this series especially from Scorpio subset requires premeditation and some sort of setting direction for the energy. This water just gives energy at the spot without many questions asked.

I like this Water and use it for some work days, especially when I know I haven't had as much sleep as I should. It provides a kind of energizing clarity and the strength to get through whatever I'm facing. When using this Water with the Antares oil and some other materia it is much like something kicks in ... from within. Like a motor that is slow to start (before application) but steady after it gets going.

This Water is helpful for layering with several other series such as EM, Mercury in Gemini, and EV II for a boost of momentum and mental clarity. It's also good for supporting executive function in general and slaying minor tasks I've been procrastinating on.

The ideal pre-workout spritz, especially if you want something lighter in intensity/duration than the oil. (I also spritz this before playing tough video games--it helps me not give up!)

I've been spritzing the water on myself on days when I need the extra boost in physical strength and WOW. I always make sure to spray it with a particular goal in mind, but when you give this a goal, it will help you achieve it!! Like it hasn't failed once. It gives you that extra stamina you need to get through hard tasks. Even when you're internally like I can't work out another 5 minutes, it gets you to finish the 5 mins and then some.

Fair warning though – you can sometimes overdo it. Just be mindful of going past your own physical limits because this gives the illusion that you're strength is endless.

I wasn’t sure how this would work out. I got the small bottle just in case it wasn’t a match… well, I’m planning my next purchase to include the larger size. The write up is very accurate. You need time between uses because it kicks up a lot of energy and at the end you may feel sore/exhausted—but in Satisfying way. I just cleaned up a part of my closet I’ve been avoiding for months.
