It
seems the SOE and NPA combo is one of the best/most popular ...... but I don't remeber anybody posting about mixing
the two ..... ??
I have a new bottle of SOE with the rolltop which comes off quite easily ..... would it be a
good/bad idea to pour some NPA into the same bottle ??
Do the two mix well ?? How much NPA should be put in
to get the correct proportions ??
Cheers

KeepItReal,
I wouldn't do it.
Not with any appreciable quantity of mix anyway.
I'm assuming that you're talking about the men's fragranced
version of SOE.
SOE has a number of musky components in its fragrance, and over time these interact as fixatives
with the stinkiest aspects of NPA until the whole mix smells like a lightly citrus scented "A-None-a-polooza".
Those are two products that I would only mix on an "immediate needs" basis.
Similar thing happens if you add
just a little bit of EW to men's scented SOE.

lol i was planning to
empty my old cologne bottles so i can mixx soe and npa up and spray it on me....but iono
Get an atomizer. You might get
a bad mix and waste the whole NPA and SOE bottles.
Oh, I have just mixed in a small
atomizer, one drop of NPA and a couple of drops with SOE as well as other things. Will it go bad then Oscar?
Thanks

It's not so much that the mix will "go bad", as it would be more
appropriate to say that it would just "go stinky".
Real animal musks have been used for centuries in fragrances
both for their own scents, and for their ability (as fixatives) to enhance and amplify other scent notes within the
composition.
There are now MANY synthetic musks included in fragrances, and they serve essentially the same
purpose. (Different synthetic musks have "preferences" as to which notes they'll enhance most while leaving other
notes essentialy unchanged.)
When composing a fragrance with musk components, whether real or synthetic, the
composer needs to allow the freshly mixed musk and other scent notes to sit and steep for a time until the synergy
that occurs between the musk(s) and other notes has reached an equilibrium, a point at which the fragrance has
become stable.
JVKohl mentioned in
this post that scented
men's SOE contains something like 87 different musk components.
Think of those musk components as though they
were hungry little molecules, waiting to pounce on any new scent that is introduced to the mix. Little amplifiers
waiting to be plugged in.
If the newly introduced scent note happens to be a stinky one, like the A-None in NPA,
they don't really care. They'll enhance and amplify the stinkiest of notes, such as NPA's A-None, as happily as
they would something sweet and pleasant like Rose or Gardenia.
My experience was that after mixing at 5:1 (SOE
to NPA) the mix smelled pretty good right away. A day later the NPA scent was more pronounced. A few days further on
even MORE pronounced. After two weeks the mix smelled as though I had mixed SOE and NPA in equal proportions, and
whatever little was left of the original scent of the SOE fell sorrowfully short of being able to mask the A-None
scent of the NPA which seemed to have come to dominate the entire composition.
Without starting off too far in
another direction, one might even say that A-None itself, as a "synthetic human musk" might in itself be acting as a
fixative on the other synthetic musk components in the mix.
Enough already!
Short answer: When mixing SOE and NPA
- mix small, use soon.
btw: The "7:3" ratio for SOE/NPA is even more ridiculous than most of the other 7:3
mixes. In any 7:3 mix where the "3" is NPA, the "7" had BETTER be an undiluted Essential Oil, or you're NOT going
to adequately cover the scent of NPA. Think about it. 7:3 is just a hair more than 2:1.
The "legendary" 7:3 NPA
mixes were likely concocted by someone who was NOT able to consciously detect the smell of A-None, and are probably
responsible for as much wasting of pheromones (AND scoring opportunities!) as all the other ways of OD'ing on
pheromones.

Thanks Oscar for an outstanding
answer to my question!
I'm surprized I haven't heard more of users mention problems about
this before. The NPA/SOE must have been the most common combo to mix.
My mix was composed with these
products:
1 spray Chikara
1 drop SOE
1 drop A1
3 spray cologne
The very small amount of -none in Chikara
does seem to not harm at all, because my targets tend to steer their noses directly to my neck and tend to let it
rest there just as when I've applied everything "fresh from the bottles". My mix has been standing for
months.
In fact I think I'll try not to mix the NPA in my atomizer mix instead just to avoid any potent issues
with this. Apply NPA to skin and spraying my mix on top of it.

Try Gucci Envy, ladies seem to like
it and it goes well with Chikara and AE.

Younger women drool when I wear
Burberry Weekend, SOE unscented and NPA.
Getting back to the original post, I use NPA and SOE all the time.
However I never premix them in a bottle but, instead, apply separately. NPA mixes well with colognes but SOE has oil
in it and doesn't mix as well as alcohol based carriers. I'm thinking of using CS 'nol and rone so I can better
blend them with cologne in an atomizer.

gorgi erm mind if i ask you the
steps of applying the soe and npa + ur perfume?
I premix Weekend and NPA in a 3:1
or 4:4 ratio in an atomizer. I zap a few sprays on my clothing and hair and chase it with a couple 6 inches "rolls"
of SOE unscented.
