RE: Cover Scent Common Sense

HI,
Use: generally mones first, let dry 10 min...spray cover directly on has worked. Keep in mind, this would be something unscented like NA. I suspect that this goes best with oils as they are heavier and you need a lighter volatile solvent like alcohol on top to help lift/diffuse the heavier oil molecules.
Conversely, many people swear by cover scent first, mones on top. I am looking at Snoopyace here. Some people e.g., thundr advocated applying on one spot, immediately spraying the application and dabbing a finger in this and 'painting' the mone/cover app on different spots. You will have to experiment and try the different methods yourself. That is the ONLY way that you will know. That is the ONLY method that will be most important for YOU.
IF you have something already scented, it pretty much takes care of itself. If you need the extra cover, try applying on an adjacent spot. Sometimes, you won't have to add the extra cover until the built-in cover wears off, leaving the mones still there. Doc Chocolate posted that he was able to prolong the efficacy of this mone residue by spraying with an isopropyl spray that he concocted with some essential oils. I suspect that one could do the same if you have some alcohol based perfume/cologne, applying directly to the aging mone application.
Type: Generally speaking, I would go with scents that have a musky base. Why? Females generally like musky scents. However, musk tends to cover/mesh with many of the mone odors. Many mones do have a 'sweaty' ripe odor in their natural state. Hence, animalic genre scents may have an advantage in this department. Regardless of the top/heart notes whether they be floral or gourmand...it's great that the base would have some funky wood (oud) or animalic base (musk, ambrette seed, labdanum, castoreum, civet). You might want to consider a perfume which may contain liquorice e.g., Azzaro pour homme or YSL Rive Gauche. Why? Liquorice as a scent has been shown to stimulate vaginal circulation in women. Mugler B*men (gourmand anise/liquorice scent) being another which actually had a gal cashier once follow me in the store and quickly race up to the counter at checkout when I was ready saying, 'I'll help you, sir...I'm Free, I'm Free' with a beaming smile and a sly wink of the eye.
Some on the forum have gone on to make their own unique cover scents to smell different. This is something that is up to you.
Lastly, you may wish to consider something that contains ISO E Super which bolsters diffusion. I am looking at Encre Noire by Lalique or Escentric Molecules #02. It might not be a bad idea to look for something with Hedione...Hermes Voyage as an example.
Favs: What's in vogue nowadays? The overdone citrus/wood genre?
The unisex gourmand genre?
Creed Aventus (or it's many knockoffs e.g., Armaf Club Nuit Intense Manj or Al-Rehab Avenue etc.) OR it seems the perennial favorite leftover of the Aquatic genre, Armani's Aqua di Gio. Another one is Hermes' Terre d'Hermes (ISO E replete). These tend to be favorites (not just mine, but popular among the crowd) and I like these, however I also like to standout and smell different. Luckily, many mone dealers conveniently have analogs of these as covers in the products they sell...like PheromoneXS. I also like the cover scents that Apex uses. As I mentioned, I like musky/leathery powerhouses like YSL Kouros, Aramis, Caron Yatagan, Azzaro pour homme for colder temps while during the warm season, I like the Aqua di Gio, Oscar de La renta Oscar for Men which aren't too heavy like the powerhouses. I go easy on the trigger with the powerhouses as you don't want to be irritating to your targets.
In choosing a cover, the most important consideration IMHO is that YOU must like it first and foremost....not some skirt. It should be something that says 'YOU' and hopefully, it lets you standout. It can leave a memory of you with whomever you meet. Fragrance is a key to memory. Secondly, it must be functional i.e., effective cover, but also hopefully meshing with the mones and their preexistent 'cover scent' if the mone comes scented. Most likely, you will be using more than one scent for your endeavors. Some go really well in cold temps, while others in warm. Some are appropriate for business, while others are only for playtime.
Good Luck!
