The makeup you specified is NH4OH or ammonia water, formed by dissolving ammonia gas (NH3) in water (H2O). This will work similarly to smelling salts, which actually are ammonium bicarbonate. From the ref., "Ammonium carbonate, (NH3)2CO3·H2O, is a colorless-to-white crystalline solid commonly known as smelling salts; in water solution it is sometimes called aromatic spirits of ammonia."
