Hi everyone!
I wanted to know what’s the status on the A314 shown in the store.
Last year I tested the A314b as a sample with positive results. My question is: the oil version now listed in the page acts in the same way? Does the formula change?
I have to clear these doubts before taking any further step…
Thanks in advance! Any information is appreciated
If you have any of that A314b then save it and pass on the oil. I tested Royale v1 and sorry to say it didn’t really work for me.
I like the royale v1
I just received A314 this afternoon. The bottle says it’s rev32 (bottled by 10/01/15), and the scent is distinctly sandalwood. (Reminds me of my college days when I used to burn lots of sandalwood incense.) I just put on a couple drops, but it’s the end of the day and I’m already tired. I’ll do a proper test this weekend.
Jeabreu: Can you please elaborate on the testing you have done with royale V1 and what results did you get? What do you actually like about it?
Just got a message from Dee. The shipping department made a mistake. Although the label says Rev32, the version I have is actually Royale. It’s all good though. I had a nice self-effect last night. I’ll write more about my experience after a proper testing.
Ok, now I have a headache…
What was the revision number in effect before the drought: 32 or 31??
That would be 32, if we’re talking about this more recent, major drought.
Yup - It was Rev32, Rev31 was the dud batch, before that it was Rev23.
I dont like the scent. But Its engaging a lot of respect. Ive been whithout a314 since may, tried some other products, in spcecial bw. But since i used a314 royale i feel again im in the top of the world.
Hi,
I just got A314 but now it smells like musk 
previously it smells like orange oil! that was nice any one with same opinion? should I change?
A314 has never smelled like orange oil! Where did you get that one from and what are the Rev/batch numbers on the bottom/side of the bottle for each?
The traditional scent of A314 is a warm/lightly musky modified Akuto scent but the current batch is a lighter, almost Sandalwood scent and any muskiness is from its Androsterone directly.
Saying that, there were a few people reporting scent problems with the last Rev - and AD did take care of them.
Well to me the A314 version of 2014 and before smels like orange! the current one is just not OK I wish they will bring back the old one!!
Any one share same experience?
But what about the effects…?? Are they the same as the previous versions? Are they consistent/erratical?
We are here for the effects, not totally for the smell alone (or are we?).
This version seem to be not pleasant to use! like too strong? old one was so pleasant to use and it made me feel good!
I can say clearly this is different and I hope AD will keep the products same! or warn if any chance!
They are consistent, yes - and A314 is still an excellent status product but from what I’m getting, this version has brighter, less chilled feel with a more forward, dynamic and social/good humoured edge to its effects and I’m noticing a lot more obvious desire for you to take charge around your subjects.
Oh and Asians, it hits very, very well indeed - Last week saw me working with 40-odd Chinese visitors, mostly female in the mid 20s to 40s range and with 3 drops I was like fresh meat on a plate to them. Very close, friendly, funny, unreserved responses and with lots of highly inappropriate and very enjoyable kino going-on but I was still very much the guy in charge.
I’ve just ordered another two bottles! 
Monsieur, what do you mean when you say it’s “too strong”, can you give more details on the effects you are getting? And your batch number would be nice also.
Merci.
Get some opinions on the smell from your friends.
For me, the pungent sandalwood scent (A314 Royale) is culturally wrong. I am a Chinese but locals associate the scent with Indians so I’ve got to get it returned.
The respect for A314 is still there but seems to take a short while to sink in compared with rev 17. Royale seems to make me jittery on the 2 occasions I tested it before returning.
TBH, the sandalwood-ish scent of Royale is pretty light and very easily covered by pretty much any other scent you want to wear.
And standalone its still just fine in no/low-scent environments like hospitals/medical facilities, better even - no worse than a very light soap.
