Yes, cut back to 2 drops and try to scrub off the old application before starting again. It stays on for a while and you may not smell it very well yourself.
RE the reaction: It sounds very typical; all of it. As folks get older their sense of smell starts to go which is why you often find old ladies ODing on cologne as well as getting turned on by guys with 5 times the pheromones found on the juiciest stud muffin around. It is also probably tied in with how/why older folks lose interest in sex: they aren\'t picking up on the aphrodisiac qualities of the various sensory stimulii in their environment due to fading sensitivity, and the sensation of smell/VNO is probably at the top of the list.
