Hi Bought A314 about 3 years ago and didn’t get on with it but am thinking about trying it out again. I’ve kept it hidden away out of direct sunlight in room temperature etc but am wondering whether it has a shelf life and whether it has gone off? It still smells as it did on the first day (which isn’t nice in my opinion). Please advise. Thanks PS - I did get on with TUTH though 😉 ---

As long as it was stored in a cool and dark place, it should last for years. I have many mone products older than 3 years and they work fine, albeit most are alcohol based. If there is deterioration it is extremely minor. The lone exception to such longevity is Perception (3 bottle kit): the H2O carrier turns to swamp water in a matter of months. Terrible shit. Hell water. ---

I still have the original bottle of A314 I bought 4 years ago and it works like a charm. That was back in the day they were using the Royal Oil and my God it smells good. I wear it for special occasions and it works just wonderful. You’ll be A-OK with it 🙂 ---

No worries if you store your products right they should keep their effectivity ! Are you concerned about the perfumed oil or the [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) in it which should literally last for decades … The only problem i see would be in dabbing and bringing microorganisms into the bottle by getting into contact with your skin … Pago
