I just got my fresh copy of Batch 8. And the first think that i noticed is that the [Akuto](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/akuto/) scent is much stronger than Batch 7. 5 Drops of it and i dont kneed any cologne. I find this very useful for a good defusing. Just to be sure i tested one drop from batch 7 and one from 8. The new one smelled allot stronger than the 7. **Guesses:** batch 8 i stronger scented or batch 7 is loosing the akude scent over time (which will be weird.. because its one month old only) With the older versions of A314 (v.15) the scent(EO) stayed for a long time. But with v15 it was not that strong. V.17 has really great diffusion thanks to the akuto scent ---

interesting. question: I have 3 bottles of A314, I use only one. Supposedly, those bottles should last for a year and a half. My question is should the product be effective a year from now? (stored inside my desk in room temperature) I ask this because I have another A314 bottle in my shopping cart (I thought I should stock on them since you never know what might happen or how the product might change in new versions). So now I’m curious to if that’s a good idea to have 2 years of product in your hands or not.. they might not live. ---

Saifz i did the same think. I have stocked 3 bottles of A314 V.15 a year ago. The last bottle i opened was as good as new. WORKING at 100% 😉 So dont worry about stocking up. The only think that gets my attention is the little difference in Batch 7 and 8 i am trying to figure out why 8 has a little stronger [Akuto](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/akuto/) scent(which is good addition) from 7. ---

Hey guys, we’re trying to figure out what’s going on with all the different batches, but Idle, believe it or not, I think you’re one of the few with actual comments about the different batches. > [@A314 Versions/Batches](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/a314-versions-batches/14359): > > D4 pointed out that the new batches of A314 included the [Akuto](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/akuto/) scent. I was curious to know which scent I was wearing as this was my first bottle of A314. Either way, my bottle is V.17, batch 4. Let’s get some reponses with your A314 batch number, version number, if it is your first bottle, how long ago you ordered it, and if you have experience with different scented A314s, could you post your observations and compare them? We’ve got a A314 forum just for us, let’s use it. What’s your batch/… ---

recording to this post > [@A314 Versions/Batches](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/a314-versions-batches/14359/23): > > My second order of A314 says V.17 batch 7. Smell is weak and it does not stay on as long as my earlier order of A314 which has no sticker mentioning version or batch. Now with batch 8 the scent is much stronger and i really like it. I think this helps the diffusion allot. Even my GF asked what i was wearing. 5 drops and i smelled akuto all over 🙂 ---

I used 4 bottles of the original with EO scent. But akuto is much better. I think i upped my A314 usage thanx to the [Akuto](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/akuto/) scent. I am able to smell it 3-4 hours after application. People around me smell it too and if they like the scent they take a deeper sniff 🙂 which is good. I think that the akuto scent is much more good for diffusion. **BUT… there is something in this v17** that is allot different from v15 that i last used. Something is missing (replaced)… i need more time to see the difference. i dont expect androtics to share the change 🙂 or at least Jas to mention was it something really removed?? I think the new version i really hard to OD (the ghost effect) ---

just to add when i used over 5 drops of v15 some people ware afraid to look me in the eyes. as they ware ashamed even to talk to me. Now with v17… this effect is lowered. People dont feel that kinda way around my high A314 dosage ---

**I have Batch 6 version 17. I was wondering in the past if there have been significant leaps in effectiveness from one batch to the next? Or is it usually something minor?** ---
