Ok guys , so , i need to know.. Ive read some posts about how a314 stinks really bad ?
how bad is the smell? and will masking it make it worse because your mixing a pleasant scent with a not pleasant one and make you reak of good and bad…
Many scents are like ideals of music: one man’s honey tones are another man’s noise. Methinks A314 smells like a hippie’s ass (so I cover with cologne). Others can’t get enough and sniff the bottle and lick their application points before whacking off. Only you can decide for yourself as we all have different noses and tastes.
it does have a strong odor initially but wait about 10 mins after application and you shouldnt notice it anymore. as always use a good cover scent because to some people it might smell like ass.
Im afraid that While i may no longer smell it after the 10 min . and i will cover it up .. someone might be able to smell its stench under the cologne…guess i have to use a few good cologne sprays to convince myself i definetly covered it
I’ve been using the latest version of A314 for a few days. The Akuto is fairly strong, and at two drops behind the ears, is just right for me as far as scent goes.
Still fine-tuning the number of drops for use in social and work environments.
I’ve been using it uncovered, since I just love the scent. No negative comments either. Definitely no buttcheese smell. Jeez Louise, you guys do know how to make someone paranoid.
I’m not quite so sure of that… I’m far from an expert in the history of A314 but as I understand it earlier versions had a pretty decent cover scent, but subsequent changes were made in the pheromone content and that threw off the cover scent. In addition I know that there were a variety of different cover scents through out the years and not all of them were necessarily a step up from the previous version.
Either way it’s a great product just remember to give your application spot a spritz of cologne before you leave the house and you should be fine.
I’ve run it countless times on it’s own. Alot of times with a dash of TAA oil. Nobody has ever made any negative remarks about it. When it’s freshly applied it’s got a funk smell but once it dries nobody seems to notice it.
You can always swab a tiny amount of cologne over the application points if you’re really paranoid.
Yeah, I don’t mind the smell myself. I don’t even think, for that matter, Instant Shine smells that bad. However, it is a non-standard scent. So I do cover up with EO or whatever to avoid “WTF is that smell?” enquiries.
It stinked very bad the first time I applied 2 drops.
After four days of using it, I got used to the smell. So, don’t worry about the smell the first few times, your body will adjust. But remember to wear a cologne or deodorant to mask the smell for other people around you.
Hi Tfer, yes any simple cologne will do. One or two sprays of the cologne will mask the stinky smell completely.
When I applied two drops I could smell it for roughly around 10-15 mins. After that I couldn’t smell it. The stink dries down after a quarter of an hour.
While I have found IS, IO, TUTH, and Ammo to smell good, I can’t help but feel like A314 smells like hell. The only real concern I have is over the effects of cologne on the intended effect of the mone.
Awesome. I guess I should usually cover since people have problems with the smell of Shine and others? I guess I should make cologne a part of the regular routine..
Think of the pheromone as an underwear and the cologne as your clothes.
It doesn’t matter what kinds or types of clothes you wear (cologne), your underwear (pheromone) is still there. The clothes has no effects whatsoever that affect the underwear in doing its job (protecting your sacred middle regions LOL).
