Well…….IMO you actually asked a lot of questions in the one short paragraph !
Quantity: Since your just starting out, take it easy on the quantity you apply. It’s not
going to be much fun if ya knock everyone out you happen to pass by. CptKiplings idea of 3 drops sounds a bit much
to me for starters, though your not going to kill anyone with 3, but if the chart I provided below is correct, 3
drops would equal bout 23 shots of the spray. I started out with 5 or 6 shots, and would say I got much more than
just casual responses with that….
How to Apply:
It’s really just common sense. I like to first apply what ever I might
normally use, such as cologne or body spray as usual (the wrist and neck being obvious locations), but if anything
not too much. Once you apply the mones, the combination could be
overpowering, especially to some of the ladies.
Also, I usually apply the cologne or body spray (or combination of
both, assuming they go well together) at least 15 to 30 mins prior to going out the door, cuz I want it to
completely dry and/or disperse some. You don’t want to run out the door and jump in some bodies car and knock-em
out, right ? Besides, after an hour or so, assuming you didn’t OD on anything, you normally wouldn’t be reeking that
much anyway, right ?
Then a few mins before I walk out the door, I’ll apply my mones, in the
exact same places I put on the cologne (or for the lady, perfume), but right over (or on top of) the cologne (not
the body spray) I applied sparingly earlier. You want the mones to do their work, right ? So you never want to cover
them up.
And don’t forget, it’s always up to the individual user to determine if these assorted smells are in fact,
compatible with each other and you, or not. Some scents just don’t mix, or might not be right for that individual,
right ?
As far as Rub or Dab or Spray the Mones ?:
Again, a little common sense here. Apply sparingly, …a little usually
goes a long way ! Besides, this stuff is usually pretty expensive, and it’s truly not necessary to OD with it. I
think 5 or 6 shots (spread out & lightly rubbed in ), sprayed on is a good start and maybe all you’ll need. On some
people 9 or 10 shots can sometimes clear-out the room, and that’s certainly not the goal, when your just getting
started, right ?
Here’s a helpful short list I’m going to try from a former forum member, named
"Scientist":
Dab: This is where one wets the fingertip by holding it over the bottle mouth
and tipping the bottle. This was hardest to measure, it comes down to being about 0.01 ml, and no more than 0.02 ml.
Measured with a bottle of AE.
Drop: A full-size, free-falling drop from the fingertip measures 0.05 ml. Note
that this leaves a partial dab on the fingertip after the drop falls. Measured with a bottle of
APC.
Spray: OK, I'm sure this varies widely, but I measured the spray from my bottle of The
Edge into the plastic cap. It's 0.13 ml.
Experiment : By now,
I’m sure you’ve read some on the idea that it’s good to experiment with different mones, until you figure out which
one/s do the job/s you want them to do. That also means that you need to experiment with the one you now have. So,
it will take awhile in the old Trial & Error mode, before you really figure out what amount/s is best for you. The
TE spray you now have is a good start for experimenting, but I’d say you still will have a ways to go, before you
could say which of the mones (or combination thereof) works best for you.
Just like the Gillette “cool
wave” you propose to apply…. Having one girl tell you that smells good is great, but only one girl hardly would be
considered a comprehensive experiment. When ever possible, I always ask those I’m close too (both male and female
friends) what they think of the new cologne I’m wearing. Especially for the first few times I’m trying out a new
scent …..I start out by saying, “Now tell me the truth’ ! Then follow up with questions such as, “Do you like it” ?
“Do you think it’s too strong.” ? , etc, etc. Get them to spill the
beans…..
Since I’m a guy, I not interested in attracting
men, but I don’t want the men I come into contact with to think I smell like an old French hooker either. Keep it
subtle.....After awhile, you’ll figure out just what works for you and what doesn’t….Have Fun !

Pardon?
I wasn't recommending 3 drops, he asked how much 1 spray was in terms
of drops. Since 1 drop is 0.05 mls, and 1 spray is approx. 0.13 mls, 3 drops is about the same as 1 spray (not 23
:confused: ).
BTW Mods or Bruce, can we get the link back to the reference material and the Cookbook?

Franki doesn't miss a trick :D
I remembered that after I posted, but I still think a lot of people miss it without the big link at the top of
the page.
