NPA is pretty legendary around here. I have not used it personally but I’ve read enough reports to tell you it’s pretty legit. Now here’s the thing: there is a new and old version of NPA. The old version is the one that gets the most positive reviews. The new version of NPA has been rumored to be not as effective as the old version. Here’s a thread that includes tips on mixing NPA –\> [How to apply NPA effectively????](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/how-to-apply-npa-effectively/27698). Be careful though with NPA, it is a VERY strong mix and can set women off in both good and bad ways. Scent of the Eros(SOE) I used before but got very little out of it although I suspect that it was because I was very inexperienced with pheros and was not good at talking with women. SOE is a product meant for breaking the ice and getting people more receptive to talking to you however I’ve gotten much more out of [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/). Now, as far as the “GOLD” standard…I would recommend A314 (spray or oil). It’s good stuff, it definitely improved my social life and I never regretted my decision to buy it. Remember that pheros are only part of the equation. YOU need to put in the work, YOU need to improve yourself enough so that YOU can work the pheromones the way YOU want to. It’s not “easy” but if it was everybody would be doing. Good luck man. Feel free to pm me if you want recommendations on books or any other self help material. I still have lots of work to do myself but I’ve traveled leaps and bounds and have no problem helping those who truly want to grow. --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/greetings-pherotalk/60217)._
