NPA
Smell from Bottle: Smells like an extremely strong
mix of rubbing alcohol and anesthetic (kinda reminded me of a hospital)
Self-Effects: 1 tight dab applied
under both nostrils, no cover scent. I had just woken up from a short afternoon nap when I did the application, and
it seemed to snap me out of my siesta-induced drowsiness into a state of full alertness. Also seemed to tickle the
back of my throat slightly, which faded after about 3 minutes. However, no overt feelings of aggression
materialized.
Apart from the initial burst of a slight urine smell, after 2-3 minutes, I could not smell
anything. However, my finger did still have that slight urea tinge, and smelled mildly irritating and smothering
after about 5 minutes, even after I'd washed my hands thoroughly with anti-bacterial shower cream. This definitely
needs a good cover with cologne, even on the fingers used for application.
NPA Test Number
1
Application: 2 tight dabs onto the back of my hands and rubbed into the skin in a circular
fashion until dry, 1 tight dab onto the crotch area of my jeans, both areas covered with Acqua Di
Gio
Situation: Went out for coffee with a very good female "playa" friend.
Observations: Lots
more kino than usual from her, was her usual chatty self. Nothing much out of the ordinary. The coffee session went
well. There was also a group of teenagers (18-19) who came up during coffee and asked me to take a group photo for
them, to which I obliged. Lots of thanking and appreciation all around.
Prior to meeting my friend, I went for a
fuel stop at a petrol station near her house. The male attendant was pretty chatty, yet seemed to give an impression
of being respectful, which usually isn't the case with attendants here in Singapore. We had a short chat about cars
and he seemed pleased that I was willing to talk to him.
I went inside to make payment, and there was a female
attendant (mid-20's, heavy-set, not attractive) standing beside me trying to remove some adhesive tape off of a
glass counter-top. She was making slow progress, so I offered to show her a faster way using the cutter blade she
was holding, which I did. Lots of appreciative looks and thanking from both her and the female cashier (early 50's,
traditional-looking lady), nothing out of the ordinary.
I did notice, after I'd first applied NPA and was
walking out to my car, that I felt more confident and self-assured. Again, no aggressive feelings materialized.
Maybe this would be the right dose to convey a sense of assertiveness? I don't know, more testing to follow. Plus,
I may have OD-ed on Acqua Di Gio since, in my eagerness to cover up the smell of NPA, I sprayed a full spray right
on top of each application area. Too much? I'll try to lower the doseage next time around. Now that I'm back home
(4.5 hours after NPA application), the urine smell is starting to come on stronger.
Conclusion:
Inconclusive. More testing to follow.
