TE scented or unscented, and which version of AE please.

I assume you have unscented TE. The point of using cologne with TE is to cover its unpleasant smell. Try this - a spray or two of your usual cologne, followed by a spray of TE to the same location. I rarely use more than one spray of TE - two is about max if you plan on getting close to anyone.

If you really want to mix with cologne before you spray, get NPA next time. It\'s more concentrated than TE but is the same stuff and is designed for mixing. It comes with directions on how to mix with cologne, and you can go a little stronger than the directions if you have a quality cologne or EDT with a lingering scent. IMHO, TE/NPA are covered best with fougere colognes (mossy notes), or colognes with strong tobacco notes. One exception is Chrome by Azzaro, which has its own distinctive scent that really lasts, covers all pheros well, and is very popular with the ladies.

I don\'t use commercial AE but make my own unscented version from the chemset, which I mask with cologne like TE. But the AE you have comes already scented, so you will have to live with its scent as is, or find a cologne that doesn\'t clash with AE\'s scent.

Depending on which version he has.

The middle version has a fragrance which can be mixed quite easily, and fades pretty quickly. The newest version has the RM scent which *may* be able to cover TE on its own, depending on the ratios.

There are three versions of AE, which is quite confusing. Its either the middle or the newest version that i think you have. If its the middle, it will smell mildly floural, and the new one smells like a nice cologne.

Try these:

(for middle version) 3-4 dabs of TE, cover with 2 drops of AE. Then cover with your normal cologne.

(new version) 3-4 dabs of TE, then as much AE it takes to cover up the TE smell (I\'m guessing no more than 3 drops)
