Hi all I bought a bottle of A314 last April 2008 and only used it a little as I felt that TUTH was what I really wanted at the time - and wow did I have a few crazy situations with that! Anyway, after purchasing TUTH and [Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/), I’ve also recently renewed my interest with A314 and wondered what the use by / best before date of it is and for that matter, all of the pheros? I have half a bottle left and have kept it at room temperature and in the dark, etc. Unfortunately I removed the label almost immediately so cannot tell you any batch numbers of anything but I got it in April 2004. Can it go off? Since my renewed interest, I’ve only tried A314 again once - last Friday, at work and applied two drops on my neck below my adam’s apple in the morning after showering. The affects seemed to grow and by the afternoon I was feeling quite intense, serious and driven but more in asserting myself - I was challenging my peers and seniors at work - probably acting like a jerk! I think that was a bit of an A314 OD, if you can get one?! I think this stuff is interesting and am looking forward to some more experimenting but think I might apply elsewhere so the self affects on me aren’t so much! Perhaps caffiene and A314 don’t mix for me?! Cheers guys j ---

Sorry that meant to say, “I got it in April 2008.” ---

I think they last several hundred years if kept out of the extreme conditions. I’d be willing to bet you are 100% fine! ---

I’m still using the same A314 I bought 2 years ago. Works just as well then as it does now. Hopefully it will last me till the supply line issues clean up. It could be a while before it becomes available again. ---

It could be a while before it becomes available again. I read in a post from Tish23 that oil based pheros begin to break down in about 1 year. I will link to it if I can find it again. If it is still working though thats awesome and good to know! Also I seen a post from Steve said A314 in less than a week! quoted from today- “I would definetely go with the [A314](https://a314.com/product/a314-classic/) , supposed to be back in stock mid-week”… so good news! Here is quote from Tisha: **Re: What is shelf life of [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/)?** If they are alcohol based which most pheromones here are they can last years and years when stored properly. In a cool dark place with the bottle sealed. Just like your perfumes. If it is oil based it will break down after about a year. Heat does make the molecules more active which is why we suggest you spray to places on the body that warm up. To much heat will damage them though. Your pants pocket or brief spells in the car are fine. Leaving it on your dash board in the sun on a 90 degree day is not. They will begin to evaporate even in a closed bottle. I have left pheromones in a heated area and found the bottle almost bone dry when I went to retrieve it even though it was half full when I left it because of evaporation. When you have a spray top bottle its not air tight. Tisha
