Results from Chikara, AE, and NPA test

[Bigman808]

Well, it's been four weeks since I started my test of Chikara, NPA, and AE. I must say, before I get

to the results and analyzation, that I love the smell of Chikara and AE. Chikara has a nice, mature (thank you

Oscar) scent to it, and I find that it puts me in a better mood. I don't feel the same mood-boosters with AE, but I

like the fragrance very much, and would not hesitate to wear it as a standalone product. NPA is a great product,

though better, I think, as an additive rather than as something you apply to the skin. This trial was done over four

weeks total. I wore the product in question 5 or 6 days out of the week, and the other I wore nothing, to observe

any possible build-up and or difference in mood. Now, to the results:


Product:

Chikara

Application:

Minimum: 1/2 a spray, on the neck, none on

chest
Average: 1 1/2 sprays, on the neck. 1/2 spray on chest
Maximum: 2 full sprays, on the neck. 1 spray on

chest


Hits during four week trial: Quite a few (More than fifteen)




Analyzation: Chikara is my current favorite product. The smell by itself is great, but the fact that

it has 7 pheromones makes it all the better. I've worn Chikara in many different environments, and have yet to have

a negative response. I've worn it in nightclubs, bars, work, at a party, and at home. I've felt confident and been

in a good mood every time I wear it, and can smell the fragrance for a good while.

Results: During

the time when I was wearing Chikara, no matter what the dosage, I encountered an increase in friendliness, arm

contact, and chatiness. I was never approached directly by any women, but the ones I approached were willing to

talk, and over time (probably prolongued exposure), opened up and shared some intimate stories that I don't think I

would've heard without 'mones. On the dance floor in a club, I had a women who was clinging to me during a song,

and keeping her head very close to an application spot on my neck. That turned out to be an interesting night...



Overall View of Product: Great! I love the fragrance, and am very much enjoying the increased

attention I am getting! This increased attention could be attributed to the 'mones, or the confidence I feel when

wearing Chikara. I feel it's a bit of both, because I'm not shy, but I'm not James Bond either.





Product: Alter Ego for Men



Application:

Minimum: 1 drop, applied to throat
Average: 2 drops, applied

to both sides of neck and throat
Maximum: 3 drops, applied to aforementioned spots, and bridge of nose




Hits During Four Week Trial: Several (Five to ten)


Analyzation: Alter Ego is a

good product. I like the smell, though it's a bit sweet in my opinion. I do not feel any change in mood while

wearing it, but a friend told me he noticed an increase in confidence while I was wearing the AE (he noticed the

change when I was wearing an average dosage). This product is a good one, however. To begin with, AE contains good

concentrations of all three 'big' pheromones, not just one in particular. Also, the scent doesn't seem to

disappear very quickly, or when you mix it with something else. Lastly, Alter Ego can be used to perfection as a

standalone, or in a mix. Either one works very well.

Results: Alter Ego had a definite positive

effect on those around me. Besides female reactions, I noticed an increase in friendliness among some guys I was

with. I played poker one Saturday when I was wearing an average dosage of AE, and the guys I was playing with were

less confrontational than usual. (When I say 'less than usual', you have to realize that there are no good friends

at a poker table; it's money.) One of them even stayed after the game was over to help me clean up, which usually

never happens. On the female side, I was impressed with what AE did to some women. For example, I started a

conversation with a bartender at a bar I frequent. She must have been new, as I hadn't seen her there before. At

first, she treated me like another drunk with a lame pickup line (which I was not ). However, after a few one

lined answers, she started elaborating more and more, keeping eye contact with me for minutes at a time. I didn't

notice any type of DIHL, but after a blatantly obvious glance at her chest, I got no aggressiveness, only a sexy

smile. At work, my boss, who's a female, was overly accomadating when I came to her about a problem with my

computer, whereas she's usually a mean, inconsiderate bitch. Alter Ego didn't get me any direct sexual hits, but

it opened women up and allowed me to try a few things that I wouldn't normally try with a reserved individual.



Overall View of Product: AE has a nice fragrance, and is good for getting women to open up and talk,

which can leave them open to sexual advances, which can lead to...



Product:

New Pheromone Additive

Application:

Minimum: 1

drop on throat or face; 6:1 mix, cologne to NPA
Average: 2 drops (1 on throat, 1 on face) 5:1, cologne to

NPA
Maximum: 3 drops (2 on throat and one on face, or 2 on face and one on throat) 4:1, cologne to

NPA
When I say drops, I mean out of a glass dropper. I found that I didn't like the plastic dropper

that was on the top of the bottle to start with, so I removed it and used a glass dropper I purchased at Walgreens.

Mixes were done in an atomizer that used to be a cologne sampler containing Acqua di Gio.




Hits During 4 Week Trial: Numerous (More than twenty)


Analyzation: WOW! That's

all I can say about this powerhouse product, is wow. NPA is just great, as an additive or as a product to put on

under your cologne/aftershave. I wore NPA on my skin, got results; I wore NPA after mixing it with a cologne in an

atomizer, and got results. This product is one of, if not the best product out there. It's a great value as well,

and I'm definitely going to have to get the 10ml bottle very soon. I love NPA in both instances, and it's gotten

me results no matter how I wear it.

Results: I found that when I wore NPA as a mix, meaning added

to a cologne in an atomizer, I got better results. The dosage that got me the most results was 5:1. I was a bit

scared, originally, to use this mix, because in a 4:1, I could smell the NPA in the atomizer. However, when I

applied the mix, the Chikara that I had used was the prevalent smell, and my worry disappeared. The most blatant and

overtly sexual hit that I got was at a bar on a Friday night. The bar was packed, and hot women were all over the

place. I walked around for about ten minutes, to scope out the action, and to figure out who I wanted to try my mix

on. I noticed a very attractive (9.5) female sitting in the corner, and I approached her and started a conversation.

Note to any newbie: Pheromones aren't going to get the women to approach you, though that happens very rarely. You

need to combine 'mones with approachability, or your not going to get anywhere. Phan used a great analogy to

explain this: You're going to get beat by a good runner with no shoes if you have good shoes and can't run.

Anyway, I approached the girl, started a conversation, and she seemed genually interested in what I had to say.

After a few minutes, she went very in depth when I asked her about a necklace she was wearing, and started touching

my arm to demonstrate how much she loved the island in Hawaii where she bought it (or something like that, I dont

really remember). This arm touching continued, until she asked me, yes, SHE asked ME to dance to this song playing

on a jukebox. During the 'dance', she was boobing me, grinding, and a lot more. The night was fun, to say the

least. Later that night, she ended up licking my neck in the exact place where I had applied part of the mix.

Another girl in the bar also said, "You smell good," when I passed by her for a brief second. NPA is very good, and

is a great product to use.

Overall View of Product: Two thumbs WAY UP! NPA is an excellent

additive product, and I know for sure that I'm buying more of this as soon as my bottle runs out. I'm one of the

people who can't smell the strong 'mone smell in NPA, and all it smells like to me is alcohol. However, I put a

few drops on without a cover, and could smell the NPA very easily. Great product though, no question! Note to

newbies: (again) Make sure you have a proper cover scent when you use this product. No one wants to be around

someone who smells like absolute crap!


For my next four week trial, I'm going to experiment with the aA314

product that I ordered, along with WAGG, and a sampler I got from a department store. The sampler's called Spark.

Thanks for reading, and commentary, reccomendations, or advice is greatly appreciated!

Outstanding job, Bigum!



Your NPA mix ... tis the only one that confused this old man ... you used drops or sprays? If it wasn't a typo,

how do you use drops (special container)? Which is best, the drops or sprays?

Would you edit that

section if it was a typo, and even though I suck at math ... 3 drops does not equal to 2 drops on the face and 2

drops on the throat. You trying to trick me, Big Fella!!!? I know that equals to 4!



Thanks!

[Phan]

Good analysis and set of

observations Bigman808. Was that 4 weeks per product, or 4 weeks split between them?

I like the mention of

minimum, average, and maximum of dosages used. One thing I forgot to mention in my results thread is that I

couldn't easily tell the difference in reactions between different dosages used. Would you say the same, or did it

seem as if there was an optimal dosage for each of the 3 products?

[Bigman808]

Mobley - Thanks for the

compliments! I changed the section in question, and I'll do my best to clarify it in this post as well. When I say

drops, I mean out of a glass dropper purchased at Walgreens. I found this product extremely helpful in mixing and

taking exact drops. For my cologne/NPA mixes, I mixed the two in a spare atomizer that used to contain a sample of

Acqua di Gio.

What I meant in that instance, with the 2 and 2 drops under maximum dosage, was that I used either

two drops on my face and one on my throat, or two drops on my throat and one on my face. I was hesitant to use more,

as NPA has a very strong scent to me, even if it only smells like alcohol. After the two products were mixed in the

atomizer, I sprayed it on myself. In the other trials, I applied the drops directly from the glass dropper onto

whatever area of my skin. Does this clear it up for you? If not, I'll be happy to clarify anything in question!



Phan - Thanks for the compliments as well! When I was testing Alter Ego, I noticed an increase in attentiveness

and chatiness when I used my maximum dosage. In the case of Chikara, there was no extreme varying in the type of hit

I recieved, no matter the dosage. With my NPA mix, I noticed a more sexual edge to the hits when I used a 5:1 rather

than a 4:1. Also, I found that the mixes worked better rather than any direct application to my skin. This makes

sense though, since it is an additive product. 4:1 got me one aggressive reaction, but there was nothing of the kind

with the other two ratios I tried. The hits were more numerous, however, with 5:1 as compared to the other two

mixes. Also, the four products were tried for a bit more than a four week span. However, I continued an NPA/Chikara

mix for about three days after the four week period was up, just to make sure what I saw would happen again. It did

indeed, so I have no doubt that the two are a killer mix!

Thanks again for the kind words!

[MOBLEYC57]

NPA:COLOGNE - Using 2 drops of

the 5:1, and 3 drops of the 4:1 ... The 4:1 got you the most hits, but 5:1 still got you hits, yes?

If

this is fer true, could be the reason why JB1 is not too consistent, and gets only aggressive hits at 7:3 APC:NPA.



Your recent post mentioned Chikara and NPA ... did you mix those two at 5:1, as well, or did you do the dab

NPA:spray Chikara thing?

Think I've asked time and time again, but once more, please ... how old are ya?



Thanks, BigMon!

[Bigman808]

4:1 got me an aggressive

reaction, definitely not a hit. I've read a good amount about JB#1, and don't like the concept of it. 7:3 seems

much more applicable for a mix, rather than what is suggested.

When I mixed Chikara and NPA, I used both

methods. I found that, however, mixing the two in a 5:1 ratio got me more hits than direct application. Granted,

the latter did get me good reactions, but a mix in an atomizer wiped the floor with direct applciation, IMHO.



Don't think you asked earlier about my age, but I'm happy to answer that question. I'm 25, almost 26 years

old.

[MOBLEYC57]

4:1 got me an

aggressive reaction, definitely not a hit.

So the 5:1 at two drops would be your recommendation? Did you

ever try 3 drops with that?

Still, you used

to atomizer to mix in, and used drops from it, or sprayed? And the dropper you purchased at WG is larger than the AE

dropper, yes?

I have no more questions ... you may step down.

Thanks!

Alas, you've confused me as well. When I said 5:1 and 2 drops, I meant those were my two

alternate's for my average application. 5:1 is my favorite mix of the three I tried, because it smells great, and

it got me a boatload of hits.

When I mixed products in an atomizer, I sprayed the mix on myself as well as using

direct application of drops from a dropper. (Once again, two alternate methods of application)

I'm sorry if I

confused you, so let me rephrase my application methods of NPA: I either mixed and sprayed, or mixed and applied

drops using a dropper. I also dabbed NPA and sprayed/applied my cologne over it. I did this method once, and

recieved a very small amount of hits from it.

Also, the dropper that I bought from Walgreens is bigger than the

one in AE. I'm not sure whether there is a difference in drop size, so I'll go and figure that out real quick.

Alrighty then! Back up there, Buster!

How many sprays do you normally use?

So,

probably, about 2 AE droppers would be close to your larger dropper.

Now you may step down, and leave

this court.

[Bigman808]

I was gettin comfortable off

the witness chair, but I'll tromp back up there. (is tromp even a word? lol) Sprays with an atomizer? 1 to 1/2. The

sprayer that was on this thing would SHOOT OUT liquid like a water bottle, so I had to be careful. What is it with

these samplers, they are always so violent! I had one, a while back, that was a sample of some Polo cologne. I

sprayed it aimed at my chest, ended up getting nailed in the eye, and went out that night looking like I'd just

done laps in a chlorine-filled pool with my eyes open!

I'm now leaving...the town! lol

[Rbt]

Now this is the kind of "meat and

potatoes" detailed reports I personally like to see.

Unfortunately NPA has not done well for me, yet. But I too

am in early stages of experimentation, and I'm only running 2 week tests. So far of SOE, Chikara (C7), Perception,

and AE (all with and without NPA except AE), AE is ranking #1 even after only a 1 week test (and I haven't added

NPA yet), Chikara is #2, SOE #3 (ranking based on more "sexual" hits over just "social" effects), and Perception

ranks a big 0 (no reactions at all straight. Usual bad reactions when add usual 1 dab NPA).

Note that for me in

a way SOE is serving as a comparison to the more "sexual" hit formulas of AE, C7, and Perception. "Control group"

formulas are straight cologne (no 'mone products) and days when I skip wearing any product ('mone. cologne, etc).

Speaking of which, have you tried any observations while NOT wearing 'mone products (do you have a "control group"

reference as a baseline)?.

Sorry my reports aren't as detailed as yours Bigman. I tain't *that* organized...

should be, but...

[Bigman808]

Thanks for the kind words,

Rbt.

It took me a while to get used to NPA. When I got my package of Chikara/NPA, I read the instructions to a T

and researched the forum for a good week just to prevent od'ing. I must have missed the all-important message:

'The only way to find out if something works is to experiment.' I originally started out with less than a drop,

and after getting nada, I decided to break out, just a bit, from my strict following of forum advice. I then tried a

drop, and kept going until I met what I thought was my NPA masterpiece dosage, which was 2 drops. About a week

later, I discovered mixing, and decided to give it a try. Thank God for that! As stated in my analyzation, a 5:1 mix

seems to be kicking ass and taking names on a regular basis. I wish you all the luck in finding your 'bliss' mix,

and using it to perfection (and sexual satisfaction ).

As to your question, yes, I did use a control

group. My control, or dependent variable, was no cologne, no mones, nothing. This meant using my charm (which I used

even with pheromones), and nothing else. Before I began testing the three products, I went out for a week and a half

and tried my luck. I didn't get any noticeable hits, though I did take a nice, cute blonde home twice. My brief

analyzation of this control group was that without any additions to me ('mones), I didn't get anywhere near the

amount of action that I did when I was wearing pheromones. This was my basis for comparison with all my other

findings. Also, during my weeks of testing, I made sure I went out at least once a week with nothing on, just to

observe any signs of build-up or anything else out of the ordinary.

[MOBLEYC57]

Now this is the kind

of "meat and potatoes" detailed reports I personally like to see.

And a biscuit ... as soon as he

comes back that last bit of info!

Also, the dropper that I bought from Walgreens is

bigger than the one in AE. I'm not sure whether there is a difference in drop size, so I'll go and figure that out

real quick.

[Bigman808]

Ah, thank you for the

reminder, Mobley! I did get that information, just forgot to post it!

After dropping water about

four or five times with each dropper, I have found that the glass dropper from Walgreens has just under 2x bigger

drops than the dropper that comes with the AE bottle.

Mobley, thanks again for the reminder!

I have found that the glass

dropper from Walgreens has just under 2x bigger drops than the dropper that comes with the AE

bottle.

That translates to 2 AE dropper drops = 1 Walgreen dropper drop, yes?

[Bigman808]

That's just about right. The

drops from the Walgreens dropper aren't quite 2x as big, but they're pretty damn close to it. So, for the sake of

.01 drop unit measurement, I'll say it's 2x as big!

[bjf]

Big man, you felt pretty good about

the fact that the piss smell of npa did not come through at 4 : 1 or 5:1?

[Bigman808]

I could smell the alcohol

(I'm afraid I don't have the 'piss' sensor) in my 4:1 mix, but in 5:1, there was virtually no trace of it. 5:1

has become my favorite mix and has gotten me numerous hits. 4:1 got me an aggressive reaction from a man at a bar

and a few decent hits, but 5:1 cleans up the competition.

[MOBLEYC57]

Big man, you felt

pretty good about the fact that the piss smell of npa did not come through at 4 : 1 or 5:1?

Annnnnd, which

Chikara do you have ... the newest (dull cap), or the oldest version (shinny chrome cap)?

[Bigman808]

uhh, I thought the new version

was the one with the chrome cap...well, in any case, my Chikara has a very shiny chrome cap, with a powerful

sprayer. You?

[Rbt]

uhh, I thought the

new version was the one with the chrome cap...well, in any case, my Chikara has a very shiny chrome cap, with a

powerful sprayer. You?

I think Bruce recently "upgraded" the Chikara sprayer with a new chrome outer cap

and an inner chrome cap as well.

See:


http://love-scent.com/forum/showthread.ph

p?t=13483&highlight=chrome

Anybody out there get a bottle of Chikara with the new spray

head?

We started shipping them last Monday. The cap *and* the head itself are shiny silver chrome, as oposed to

the nickel gray of the previous model. Way way back we had a chrome cap but the spray head was white. This new one

is all chrome.

(original quote edited by Rbt for brevity)

Thanks,
Bruce

[Bigman808]

Yeah, that's what I was

referring to. I have the newer model then, as mine is a chrome model and sprays a lot stronger than I was

expecting. Plus, I told Bruce in that thread about my Chikara bottle, and he confirmed that it was the new bottle.

Works very well, and I'm very happy with the new model.

[ChrisToff]

im so

confused lol

When you say your 5:1 mix is kicking ass and taking names. That 5:1 mix is 5 parts cologne & 1 part

NPA? amirite?

if so what of the chikara ?

or is it
5:1 chikara/npa?
<---- me

[gaf]

by

the way im a loner and go out all the time by myself.....everyone finally was getting up the nerve to ask why


(SNIP)
that was fri/sat.........sunday during the cinco festival here in denver i did the same combo mixed with a

little soe/the edge behind ears and wrists....................i didnt get the same kinda attention

You

may have od'd on the none by sunday. I find if I wear npa or similar for more then 2 days (no matter how much) no

one will come near me.
As you're a bit like me and can seem like the scary dude in the corner at times , try

WAGG. It worked wonders for me and gave me a lot of confidence to open up more when I first used it. Like you I

often go out by myself , I work irregular hours/days so sometimes finding someone to go out with on a monday night

can be difficult!


edit:
oops, for some reason the last page of this thread just appeared after

posting. But I stand by my Wagg suggestion. (glad to hear NPA's working for you though!)

[Watcher]

chikara seems to be on its own or

with SOE or attraction a good one for crowd control, social boosting general feelgood but with a different type of

vibe to SOE and Attraction.

[DssMaster]

Hey Bigman808, any new

reports you care to post with your pheros, specially with NPA? Would love to hear more of your experiences...and

reps to you for great post
