Good day, PA_Phero_Guy.
Do not despair, for there was a time (about 3 months ago) that I couldn\'t smell pheros either. When I opened my bottle of NPA and smelled, I thought \"Bah...smells like my car after I spray it with an air freshener\" - I recently sniffed some and thought \"Holy [bad word]!\" - with time, you can \"train\" yourself to smell pheros - if after some time you still can\'t smell them, you\'re probably one of the 25% then.
But to answer your questions: One dab of NPA will really stink, so careful.
People say the idea ratio of Cologne:NPA is 5:1 if you\'re interested in covering the smell, of 4:1 if you want more -none power. I don\'t spike my cologne in the bottle, though - I usually apply 1 (2 if going to a party) dab and cover it with about 2 sprays.
I don\'t have any PI, but looking at the concentration, I would assume that it would be about the same as NPA - about 2 sprays of cologne.
-nol doesn\'t smell, but it will slowly (And I repeat, SLOWLY) convert to -none, but it usually takes a long time. SoE has a tendency to go rancid and start to smell like (surprise!) cat piss - the jury\'s out on what causes this, again, careful.
As for your NPA/SOE mix, the bad smell could have been both - either too much NPA, or the SOE went bad.
What kind of reactions were they? If the girls were giving any hints that they\'ve got the hots for you, then they noticed the pheros. If they show the opposite, it\'s either too much -none or the bad smell.
My advice to you comes in the form of a rule of thumb established on the boards some time ago - \"less is more\" - especially with -none. For everyday situations, one dab of NPA covered with 2-3 sprays of cologne should be enough. Or you could try a softer -none, such as The Edge, or \"clean\" -none, such as AE\'s; clean -none would be the thing for you if you\'re concerned about the bad smell, I personally like to compare the two -none\'s to crude oil and refined oil, but I digress.
If all else fails, you should get some scented -none products, like RM (which mixes great with SOE, btw), or AE, and then stop worrying about the smell and concentrating on the more important things in life...chicks [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Good luck!
