Alrighty then.
I
haven't formally posted a mix in over a year. This one seems to have as much promise as BassMix #1. Simplicity
itself.
1 part Chikara
1 part NPA/m
1 part Sandalwood EO
7 parts ethanol
Apply one spray from an A4.2 /
Attraction bottle (about 0.2 ml, or 4 drops) to a wrist, rub your wrists together.
Use inexpensive Sandalwood EO
(I'm using NOW brand - $40/oz) - don't waste the $5/ml stuff on this. I wouldn't recommend Sandalwood fragrance
oil, tho.
Adjust to taste. You'll smell everything in this mix - the Sandalwood, the Chikara, the NPA.
This mix is a bit more teasing/flirty than BassMix #1, which was pretty straightforward sex.
Happy
hunting!

Thanks,
BM!You're welcome.
Hey, I keep reading about Sandalwood oil being in short supply - we've over farmed
the trees? Is anyone having a problem getting the stuff? I don't see much change here.
Or is it mostly going to
affect quality?
-Bass
Bass, there is plenty of australian
stuff i think. It is more the stuff in India. Your cool, but obviously the price is higher as a result.

As in being teased or flirted with, or as in being a tease and flirty? Can I get amo
for a visual, Bass? Undeveloped minds would like to know.
Thanks, Bass! :thumbsup:

I haven't tried buying the EO for several years now.
Having almost depleted my supply though, I'll soon be looking.
I think over harvesting is the main problem
behind sandalwood's availability and expense. One of my aromatherapy books says that sandalwood grows wild in
Hawaii but the plant was almost eradicated from the islands from over harvesting (and IIRC, think the workers were
abused), so the few trees left in the jungles there are heavily guarded secrets.

Thanks, Bass! :thumbsup:It's been an entertaining week - last Saturday, my ex was over
until 1:30 am drinking wine and cooking Indonesian food; I tried to get her to sleep it off in the guest room, but
she staggered home because my current was scheduled to show up at 2 after she finished playing a show.
That
visual enough for ya? Like I said, teasing and flirty...

I find that volume is more important
than the ratio with npa and chikara, and two dabs of npa and three sprays of chikara work best.
I was
wondering how much 1 spray from an Andro bottle would yield in terms of sprays of chikara and dabs of
npa.
Also, you said you can smell everything, including the NPA in that mix. Why not add more sandalwood to
cover the piss stink? Is it too strong, or are you trying to conserve?

How long does it take to replenish the supply? Do the trees have to be a certain
age before harvesting? Is it like the aloewood trees where they have to be infected with a fungus or something?

npa.I made it up purposely so that one spray yielded 1/2 drop of each.
I can't convert to dabs,
because dabs of NPA can go from tiny to way over a drop depending on how you hold your finger over that dropper
top.
I was going to do a measurement of the number of dabs in a bottle of NPA, but they varied so much from one
to another with the dropper on that I pretty much gave up.

I can answer that. Just did an
internet search for sandalwood oil because I'm interested in getting it to extend the fragrance of Chikara. Seems
the tree must be over 30 years old before it is ready for the production of the oil.

for that. So I hope people are replanting the trees?
I love sandalwood oil. I've been rubbing it on me since I
started meditating, probably 28 years ago.

No problem.
-I hope so as
well. I just got Chikara and I've had the gel packs. Love the scent, but it doesn't last long. Hope the oil will
still be availible at a decent price.

actually using sandalwood, "wood" you suggest I get scented sandalwood or unscented? Also, would it be better to add
it to Chikara, or apply Chikara first, then sandalwood on top?

Lol. No, I mean the sandalwood
oil. After some research, I found that you can get some that is for the most part unscented. Would you recommend
that, or sandalwood oil with the scent?
Darkman84
10-19-2004, 01:12 PM
I found that, too, but I'm
talking about the fragrance. You can get some sandalwood essential oil with virtually no scent. Should I get that to
mix with Chikara or go with the regular fragranced version of the oil?
Sandalwood essential oil does
have a scent. The fragrance oil is a synthetic replica of it.
I think most people on the forum would
recommend the essential oil, although it is more expensive.

I'm less of an expert than you think. I've never heard of an unscented sandalwood EO. So obviously, I think you
should use the scented stuff :o .
Did your research reveal what the unscented stuff was good for?

I don't perceive NPA as piss stink.
Powerful male stink, yes. I'm not alone here in the forum in noticing that the sexual tension increases when the
phero odor bleeds through somewhat. IMHO, you don't want to cover the smell completely. Rather, you want to blend
with the pheros, to make something overtly sexual. And that depends on individual skin chemistry, which is why
experimentation is always necessary to adapt a mix to your own bad self...

-BassRed sandalwood has very little smell and is used to hold other scents such as rose or musk. Any EO
you typically buy will have a scent. You do have to watch out for adulterated oils, so smell a few before you buy
one, unless it comes recommended from someone you trust.
