Maybe the fragrance is the same in this one, only more concentrated. The sticker on the bottom of the bottle is a clear square one instead of a white round one like on my other bottle. I suppose it’s just mis-labeled.
Version 17 batch 6 here.
It’s the only A314 I’ve tried but if it’s true Androtics changes the viscosity from batch to batch you have my vote for making it slightly thicker then 6.
Ordered yesterday, received today: v18 / batch 1 / Akuto. First time user 
Will try it tonight, in a social environment. As much as I want to test alone, I’ll prolly add something to take the edge off.
Can only use it a few hours a week in office environment. Primarily got it for my upcoming yearly review with the ceo 
Hmm..a new version eh? Damn..why does A314 last so long?! 
We need people who have tried earlier and later versions..but AD is too fast.
BTW, smell is not bad at all. Both at application time and now, 30 minutes later. Distinct but pleasant. I don’t think it necessarily needs cover and I’m usually picky about that. Test is tonight in a couple of hours, but wanted to gauge self effect first. Will prolly add Instant Gentleman right before.
ETA: First drop came out perfectly, but i managed to get 1.5 on the second. It’s probably just my clumsiness.
Ok. Let me add my two … my old one is
C.17 Batch 3
And today my new one arrived.
It is Version 18 Batch 1
They both smell the same… i had 3 drops left in my old one and just mixed them together.
Hope that doesn´t ruin the effects. … probably not 
I wonder what they changed in Version 18
Man, I kind of wish A314 did not last so long now. Revised batches keep coming in, I am worried I am missing out on something.
Sort of like computer parts.
Yea, I wouldn’t think there would be any major changes like a CPU or GPU change, but certainly, I would like to know what those minor differences are.
Hi,
I received v18 batch 1 (Akuto) about 1 week ago too.
This is my first try with A314 so I can’t say whether it smells better or worse than other versions.
Affects
As to the affects. Well I haven’t noticed anything definite yet.
I’ve been trying 2 drops so far…I’m going to up to 3 or 4 starting next week to see if that gets a response.
Dropper
Yes, this batch has the same dropper issue. I try to get one drop but always end up with 2 or with the 2nd drop lost around the rim of the bottle.
I hope Androtics can fix that soon.
Smell
The smell is quite strong when you first apply and to my nose it is unpleasant.
This does appear to soften as it drys down. Certainly after one 30-60 mins it smells pleasant and kind of musky/sexy.
I don’t know how well that will work in the heat of summer, it may become nauseating…will have to wait and see.
A friend complimented me on the smell the other night.
However, I think it is too strong to try to cover with another scent, unless it is very similar (warm/musky/woody).
Recommendation to Androtics
Please can you offer A314 with the scent of Iso E Super. That is the scent used in the Molecule 01 perfume bu Escentric Molecules. People are loving it in Europe.
It has a good sandalwoody smell. And some forum posting here indicate it may accentuate and balance the use of pheromones.
Iso E Super is very cheap too so it should not impact costs.
TISH - can you help make the recommendation to Androtics?
Cheers.

Vers18 Batch 1 Akuto…
At first I have to say that I hated the smell. It almost made me want to trow up. Tried to stay with it but just had to cover it with a light fresh cologne. This helped cover the "initial"stink.
After a few more days I started to get used to it and it does not really bother me much anymore.
The smell appears to last around an hour and then fades to leave a feint EO type of smell.
So far I am loving this stuff! Have not worn it too many times as I got sick and have not been wearing any feros.
But so far this is powerful stuff. It is very “deep” and I think it will take me a while to see all of it’s effects.
LeO
I have a friend bring me my order tonight from work. I’ll post what they are currently selling. Can’t WAIT to try it out…
Version 18, Batch 2. Akuto.
A couple girls thought it smelled like body odor by itself. I couldn’t smell that one, so it bummed me a bit.
I got the Akuto ver. 18 batch 2. So far I have been applying 2-3 drops, and haven’t got no negative remarks. I kinda liked the smell of it, but since this is the first time ordering, I don’t have any idea what the older version smelled like, so I don’t know if I would had liked the older scent better than this one though. I agree with Leo, it does seem to last about an hour or two, then all that remains is a little bit of scent. I have read in the older posts that the original scent of A314 lasted a whole lot longer though.
As stated earlier I have Akuto ver. 18 batch 1 and I assume it has the same scent and strength as batch 2. The guys above say the smell fades after about 1 hour or so. But I wonder whether that is because our noses become desensitised to it? I say that because last week I wore 1 drop in the morning and then 1 drop refresh at 3pm. Later that evening my flat mate came home and told me he could smell I was wearing A314.
I was surprised it was still noticeable.
Though I do think he noticed it more clearly simply because he new what he was smelling since he’d tried it himself days before.
So far I haven’t had any bad comments on the scent.
I still need to wear it around some female friends who I can ask to give me feedback on whether I stink bad or stink good
My frst phero purchase last week is Version 18 Batch 2 Akuto. I really don’t like the smell but as I am still experimenting I am reluctant to start using it with standard men’s fragrances. Anybody know what type of fragrance is best with A314? A light, citrussy blend(Paul Smith, CK) or something deeper and musky (Issi Miyake Bleue)?
I’d try a light citrusy blend - Neroli goes very well with A314 (instant Shine fragrance) so anything with the same kind of flavor should work
i got mine about 2 weeks ago; it’s v18, batch 2; akuto
i like it!
couldn’t compare with anything, but will happily share results
I got v19 batch 1. It doesn’t say akuto, but it smells pretty decent better than I was expecting after reading some posts.
I got my order a few days ago, and the A314 was v19 batch 1. The smell is pleasant and not too strong. I guess its EO?
Can’t wait to try it at work, when I get over this friggin’ cold.
