I asked about a 3% scent option for the putatives/experimones a while back because there were a few scents I liked just thought at 6% they were even to strong scent wise and they are FF20/Himalayan and FF21/Ammo.
Here is the link if anyone is interested
I felt Androtics what nice enough to provide this option so the very least I could do is order the 2 scents I wrote about and test them in the 3% FF20/Himalayan and FF21/Ammo.
So I got P82 in 20MCG 3% FF20/Himalayn and P132 in 5MCG 3% FF21/Ammo. I chose these 2 because they are 2 of the most untested molecules and I really enjoy testing some of the stuff no one else is in the name of science.
I will start with P82 in 3% FF20/Himalayan
1 spray This was to the throat. Very nice and not overpowering and actually at 3% is perfect for this scent and seems very balanced scent wise at this 3%. Within a minute or 2 settles in very nicely and not strong at all.
2 sprays both to the throat. Now I am getting more of a nice high end musk smell than I ever did in the Himalayan. I have tested this scent in the 6% and the 20% also and this 3% is just right. Now what I find very interesting with this is just how a molecule can act one way at one dose and another way at a different dose, the same goes for this Himalayan scent to. At the 6 and 20 percent it is to strong for some and some complain of the scent. Well at the 3% these same people love it and is nice to be around. The 3% is more of a musk where the 6 and 20 can smell more like an overbearing sweet smell to it. At 2 sprays smells like Brut, but very hi end and people just love it and I have got a lot of compliments on this. I can smell the scent on myself for about 1-2 hours with wife noticing the scent for 4.5 hours and the mone cloud 5-6 feet and even had the wife test this after 3 hours after my last spray. I have fallen in love with this new 3% Himalayan.
4 Sprays 2 to throat and 1 each side of neck. The scent now is much stronger, but no where near overbearing and is still pleasant to be around. I am still getting that nice high end musk smell I love which is very addicting. I was around my family a lot of the day about 25 total parents, grandparents, nieces, nephews, and more. Now with the 6 or 20 percent some of them did not like it in the past. With this 3% on and at 4 sprays I got a lot of complements on it and I got asked where I got this cologne a lot so a great day.
6 sprays I used the same 4 sprays from above test and now added 1 spray each forearm. Now this is borderline OD for the scent now, but still nice at this point. For the first 10 minutes the scent is slightly overpowering, then dies down and settles nicely. With the 2 added sprays on the forearm it spread my mone cloud to 7-8 feet and I had the wife confirm this for me. I don’t have anymore to add at 6 sprays.
6 sprays with Cover Scent Same 6 sprays from above. For my cover I used Michael Storer Kadota This is a perfect setup scent wise and caught me off guard. For the cover I used 1 spray over each forearm app point and 1 spray in a sweeping motion from left of neck to throat and 1 right of neck sweeping towards throat for 4 sprays total of cover scent. The Himalayan is coming through the cover a little and actually meshes with this cologne nicely. It is like it is 1 scent and the 2 together are like 1 in unison here. I am getting the musk scent of the Himalayan and the very nice fig scent of the Kadota. I thought for sure this would just be to much scent, but actually I have got a ton of compliments everywhere I go with this setup and just right on the power here.
Next up is P132 5MCG 3% FF21/Ammo
1 Spray 1 spray to throat. Now this thing is much lighter than I imagined. Settles very quickly and I barely notice the scent there and not much to report on this. Slightly weaker than say 1 spray 6% Neroli scent wise.
2 Sprays Both on throat. Stronger at first and settles within 5 minutes and even after it settles I can detect it is there and ask wife to do the distance test and it is about 4-5 feet she can detect the scent.
4 Sprays Same 2 sprays from above and 1 to each side of neck. A lot stronger, but still not overbearing or no where near this level yet. Takes about 15 minutes this time to settle and after 2 hours after last spray the mone cloud is 5-6 feet.
6 Sprays Same app points as last test with 1 spray on each forearm. Now the mone cloud is spread out a bit. Still not overbearing and I could even probably go to 8 sprays with no issues. After 4 hours I can detect the scent on myself and the mone cloud is 8 feet even after 4 hours. I am getting some compliments on the smell to and I ask some friends and family what they think and not one person dislikes it. Some like it more than others. Very bold at 3% without being to much. I have also tested this same scent in 6 and 20 percent as well and also the regular Ammo at 10% to. At the 3% for me right at 3-4 sprays is about best for me.
6 Sprays with Cover Scent Same 6 sprays as above and also the same Kadota cover with same app points and all as the Himalayan test. Now the Kadota totally overpowers the Ammo which shocked me and there is very little trace of Ammo, so for me this proves now that I can use a cover scent with the Ammo at this 3% option. The only thing that came through is the nice sweet smell of the fig and other base notes of the Kadota. I had a few family memebers and wife also confirm this before I post.
The 3% Ammo was weaker than I thought it would be for 3%. There was no transition on the scent at all and I do not have a whole lot to note on this on as it is just like the 6% Ammo to me just toned down. The diffusion and silage was still very nice with this and with 4 or more sprays it lasted a long time still 6-9 hours or so.
The 3% Himalayan was a shock for me as it was much more pleasant than I could imagine. There is a transition on the scent of this where at this 3% it is much more of a musk scent to me and in say 20% it is to sweet smelling and is very overbearing and reminds me of like cotton candy at this range so very interesting. I got the similar results as the 3% Ammo where at 4-6 sprays I could get 8 hours or so out of it.
I am including a poll and my vote is for the FF20 Himalayan at this time as I have not tested the others. I am curious is to see what others have got from this new 3% scent option so please post. I have also included the women’s scent options to in hopes some will come in and vote.
