• a housing;
• a composition stored within the housing, the composition including:
• one or more active ingredients including a flavoring agent;
• and
• one or more inactive ingredients including a preservative configured to keep the composition stable and preserve a smell or taste characteristic associated with the flavoring agent;
• and
• an applicator, the applicator including an applicator tip, configured to:
• remove a predetermined amount of the composition from the housing;
• and
• deliver the predetermined amount of the composition to one or more of a nose and a mouth of a subject,
• wherein the housing includes a back pressure mechanism configured to apply a pressure on the applicator tip as the applicator is withdrawn from the housing to control an amount of the composition that remains on the applicator tip when the applicator is withdrawn from the housing, wherein the back pressure mechanism includes a narrow channel in the housing being diametrically smaller than a width of the applicator tip, and wherein the predetermined amount is selected based on a minimum amount of the composition that induces an identification of the smell or the taste characteristic by a healthy subject;
