While the original post about A1 (I always think steak sauce) was from a different supplier, beyond that it seems to act not really as a hit machine but a mood buffer. In other words, if you are going into a situation that is not comfortable, this tends to add a bit to the conservative side and adds a bit of understanding to the mix. I am not sure if those are the best words to describe it, but it has seemed to work for me. Let me explain...
I had on AE (the old stuff, over a year old now...) and my girlfriend was very aggresive in conversation, and just plain odd compared to normal. I needed to mix up a batch of my favorite chem kit recipe, and had just been lazy. So after getting chewed out I decided to drop back into the mad labratory and see if it helped. Night number 2. Same attitude to begin with, but after a while of being around each other, she mellowed a lot. I am sure that there are factors beyond what I have mentioned, but it does seem to have a mellowing effect. Last thing, the recipe, and my thoughts on why I like it...
Ethanol:Nol:None:A1:Rone
64:8:4:3:1
My thoughts... I spilled about 1.5 mL\'s of my nol bottle on myself and had no problems with the rest of the world, I don\'t think that there is an OD level... So I decided to make a mix of the rest of the pheros at hand and then add nol, and EtOH. So, the mix of the none, A1, and Rone is a modified SoE. The rone is minor, more of a catalyst than anything, the none is the manly man and the A1 is the buffer. I mixed the 4:3:1 to be 0.5 mL\'s and the total mix is 5 mL\'s, or that is the suggested basic mix of NPA/aromas. So I did a 1:1 with Nolther pheros, because I didn\'t think I could go wrong there. So that made a total of 1 mL of total pheros, and 4 mL\'s of EtOH. I have these darling little sprayers from the bath and body works (I think, I got them ages ago) that hold five mL\'s, and I use two sprays, one on shirt, and one spread between back of wrists and chin. A long time back I posted (under dorkis) how much these things spray, but I can\'t remember now. Two seems fine. While the ratio of the NPA to aroma seems abut 1/2 of what it should be this recipe seems pretty potent (lots of pheros.) But, I don\'t use much, so it lasts quite a while. It is not a knock out punch, but the Ladies do act differently around me, so that conversation is easy and relaxed. This suits me and my personality just fine.
To sum up, A1 seems to be more of a buffer for moods to me. There is my recipe and reasons. Beyond what I have written, I haven\'t given it much thought. I like the results, why mess with it?
