Worried about the staying power of my cologne

I have D&G light blue cologne and I’m a bit worried about how long it will last when used with NPA. In this review of the cologne between 3:35 and 3:45, the reviewer says the cologne will only last 4 to 5 hours if you are lucky.

Then what happens after 5 hours? Only the NPA will be left. Will I then smell like cat piss? I can’t smell -None so I really won’t know if I reek. ☹

I had made a 3:1 D&G/NPA mix the other day but I’m worried about the stink so I just mixed a 4:1 ratio. Hopefully with a little more cologne and a little less NPA, there won’t be that much potential to smell that bad.

I think I’ll supplement with TUTH. I can’t find much info on the design of TUTH but from reading the forum it seems to me that the level of -None is actually low (2.5 mcg per spray) but it diffuses very quickly. That leads me to believe that TUTH won’t last that long but it very intense for an hour or two. But since it diffuses so quickly, I’m thinking that not too much -None will be left behind and it won’t add to the NPA stench. Plus the [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) oil from a the TUTH spray will help cover up the NPA after all the cologne is gone.

The following posts indicate that TUTH diffuses fast, hits hard, and doesn’t last that long:

> [Raw Power](https://a314.com/product/raw-power/) is 10 mcg’s per drop of Androstenone in an oil base. Turn Up The Heat is 2.5 mcg’s per spray in an alcohol base. Raw Power is far stronger, but the effects are smoother and longer lasting because of the slower diffusion due to being oil based. TUTH hits faster and harder, and does not last as long. I have not tested a lot with Raw Power, but so far I really like it. I have worn 3 drops and have had great results, with no negative self effects. At about 20 mcg’s of TUTH, I’ve had gr…

He wears…I sniff…lol I agree with mark’s descriptions…my take… Raw Power is more like a strong steady ride. Wolf really likes it…wears 2-3 drops np. The respect vibe is approachable. He likes the way I respond…I feel as though I’d like to please him…lol…no objections there. stuck_out_tongue I like it on him…smooth 'n solid…attracti…

So, when I’m out in bars/clubs my plan is to use one spray of my 4:1 NPA mix as a base and spray on one spray of TUTH every few hours. Since it is supposed to be a fast diffuser, the previous spray of TUTH should be gone before I put the next one on.

Some people on this forum have used Chrome with NPA and the Amazon reviews says that it’s a long lasting cologne.

> NPA is still one of my favs, even after 5 years of use. If you like to “roll your own,” NPA is a perfect design concept: mix 4 or 5 parts cologne to NPA and you’re in business. I have it premixed in atomizers with all my fav colognes: Burberry Weekend, Issey Miyake, Chrome and Issey Miyake Summer. I sometime use it with chemset androstenol and androsterone for custom general use mixes. Of course if don’t like to mix you won’t like it as it’s too strong/concentrated for direct use.

Since Chrome is long lasting, I’d feel more comfortable using that for a more concentrated mix.
