Yes, you're absolutely right about the dosage. I tried it at the recommended dosage of 1-2 sprays, and that was too much, even at one spray. I had ordered the oil version (with cops) at around the same time, and once I tried it in oil form, I was hooked and never cared to go back to the spray version. I'm sure if I play around with the dosage and use the sample sized spray bottles I might find a sweet spot, but at the moment I don't have the time that I used to have to do all that, since nowadays I'm mostly a grab and go kind of guy. I'm still very satisfied with the performance of the oil version, not just in the dosage-wise hits I get with it, but also in longevity, as the oil lasts way much longer on me than the spray version ever did.
P.S. I did try a combo of Ascend, Cohesion, Evolve and Core some years back, all in spray form mixed together in a small spray bottle at a 1-1-1-1 ratio, and did get really good results with the combo, mostly at parties/lounge environments. I did post my results on the old PT forum under the A.C.E. combos thread if I remember correctly.
