I just thought it would be a good idea with the new women’s line of oil that the very first report I see that is half decent on any of the new oil line including the men’s A molecule oil that I would nominate an award on this forum. I challenge and encourage everyone to order and try and to report on what they get. I wanted to know what everyone thought of this? Now with the report I don’t want to see a few sentences and that is it. I mean a halfway decent report on the typical things a report should include like basic effects, strength, diffusion/sillage, tenacity, length of effects, etc. What do you guys think? ---

Great idea, Justin! I’m in! 😃 Placed my order last week already and hope it gets shipped soon. It would be great to have it before next Friday when I’ll have a great opportunity to test at least one of them. 🆒 ---

I’ve just posted my reply and got the message that it would have to be approved by a moderator, although I didn’t write anything inappropriate. ☹ Anyway, I’m in! Hope my order gets shipped soon because I’m now really motivated to test the new products. 😃 ---

Thanks for your nice words, guys! Very kind of you. That really inspires us to do a good job. The first batch of [Molecule A](https://pheromonelabs.com/product/molecule-a/) oil was far too diffusive. The new Stealth/Nude non-fragrance diffusion package actually worked a little _too well_. We’re remaking it now with more fixatives (which make it release more slowly), to improve your experience. Most people expect oils to last longer, and we want it to match expectations. However, it’s interesting technically that this additive package was able to hasten the release of pheromones even from an oil base! Perfume and pheromone chemistry is tremendously interesting. It’s a heck of a lot different than what I learned in school. If we have enough bottles available, for anyone interested, we can throw in the first one free. I’ve also been testing a simple mix that is basically “Molecule A” light. In a way, I think the gentler dosage is more usable on a day to day basis. In another post, I wrote that sometimes a gentle glass of wine a day is more preferred than a binge night of drinking. Hey, to be honest, both can be fun, haha. But the gentle uplift you get from a daily glass or wine, or a few beers, or a single clean gin & tonic, is a lot more sustainable every day than a mega blast. So alternatively, maybe we could the lighter version I just talked about for free for people who have outstanding orders. So, your choice – the completely overdriven version, or the gentle daily wear version. Again, sorry about that guys. Just want to make sure we deliver something really useful for you. ---

A little delayed, because we wanted to add some finishing touches (and actually remake the [Molecule A](https://a314.com/product/molecule-a/) oil). All non-staff posts in the Store Announcements forum go automatically into moderation, as we tend to do announcements here. We do this to make sure customer support queries go to the support desk. The forum isn’t a good place to help with package tracking and similar issues which sometimes make their way to the forum. That’s what we have the ZenDesk for. What we used to do is post a link from the Store Announcement forum to the lounge for casual chat. No moderation there, unless you plug other brands or engage in bullying behavior. Sometimes just plain old drama is removed, too, as we honestly don’t have time to engage in it. Not that you’d do any of that! I’m sure you’ll be fine, no matter where you post. But for others reading this, especially the oldest users, I know that might sound different than policies of the past. The forum has changed over the years. At this point, the forum is really here for community based product & ideas regarding Androtics products. We used to allow more things, but shills, bullying & other forms of drama made it far too difficult to operate on a day to day basis. And _even harder_ to train people to operate. Helpers didn’t understand how to sort legitimate people from paid promoters or muckrakers (not that it’s any easier for me, mind you!) Paid helpers, especially, didn’t understand why we didn’t run the forum more like other forums. i.e., give them something they could actually do. So eventually we caved in, and it’s now intended something more like commercial forums at [forums.crucial.com](http://forums.crucial.com), [forums.adobe.com](http://forums.adobe.com), and the [Apple forums]([discussions.apple.com](http://discussions.apple.com) [discussions.apple.com](http://discussions.apple.com) [discussions.apple.com](http://discussions.apple.com)). Maybe a little more fun. We do have a higher tolerance for freedom of speech than most commercial forums. There are certainly things of a personal nature you can discuss here, especially, that most commercial forums simply won’t allow. Although we still think forums like [Reddit.com](http://Reddit.com) are tremendously cool, we just don’t have the extra resources to run something like that any longer. If someone has the tolerance and temperament to do it, I suppose we could hand over that part of the forum to run, haha. Or even donate some software to them, or hosting, or something. But we have no plans to go back to our original forum style ourselves for a long time, if ever. We just want to design & execute cool and interesting tests to push the tech forward, while making proven mixes into consumer products for people who just want simple product to help improve their lives. Make it simple. I know this goes far beyond your comment, and I’m sorry, haha. I guess I had another announcement in me today, about the forum. I should really separate it, or write another post when I have time. Kindly excuse my haste, as it’s turning out to be a big release weekend here again. (nights & weekends the only times we have to work on growth) I just want to end by saying theme of improving people’s lives tangibly actually keeps things pretty simple, as far as things go. Helps inform our decisions of what can go, what can stay. Both on the store and forum. We now think the only drama you should have is in the form of _fun_ adventures in your personal life. If at all possible, anyway 🙂 Kindly, Brian ---

OMG! You like to write! Thanks for such a detailed explanation. I was not sure if that was the normal policy or just a tecnical mistake. 😃 Anyway, I didn’t mean to make pressure. Take your time, I’m quite sure it’s for the best! 😉 Btw, I like the “one wine glass per day” philosophy. ---

I did not realize that there would also be new versions of the main Instant line to like the stealth for men and the Nude for women. So this post is for those products as well and the very first decent report I see I will nominate for an award! Now for the stealth and the Nude, I hope to see a comparison of products side by side. What I mean is I really hope to see say Regular [Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/) verse a Stealth Ammo and how it compares especially on diffusion/sillage and is stealth is used, if a cover scent was used with it how effective was it? Now I am not going to include myself in this, as my goal is to encourage other members to take a leap and try the new products and report back. I would like to see more testing and how well it went. I have found it usually takes someone brave to do something and be the first to do it, and hopes this encourages everyone to at least try and the biggest thing is to just have fun! ---

I haven’t even written an intro yet, but no one else has responded. So I’ve got to say the new [Come Talk To Me](https://a314.com/product/come-talk-to-me-cttm/) oil is the most off the hook thing I’ve ever used. The spray was already one of my favorites, but two drops of oil to the back of the hands or will be my new favorite. Probably for the rest of my life. I’m not used to writing a lot on forums, so what can I say… I’m just not as as good as describing things as others here, but I’ll try. It’s like it places you directly in the center of this sort of “social pocket”? I don’t want to say center of social attention, although it can do that if you put yourself out there a little. But more accurately it’s like you are the center of social activity. For people like me, who like to see everyone around me get on and get along, it’s pretty much the funnest thing ever. It seems to be work and school safe, so I can have that fun even when I don’t go out officially. I plan to use it every day. Especially around the holidays. It’s just so much fun! Soon I’ll see how family safe it is. I’m sure it’s fine. I guess the easiest way to say it is that it’s like a roving party all around you. It’s amazing stuff. Even though it’s a “slow release oil”, I love what it does so much more than the old neroli spray version. It’s more playful and fun. It just seems to work better in Nude/Stealth. Just like the email said, this really is huge. Androtics has done a spectacular job. Credit where credit is due. It’s crazy how well all of these things work. Not just CTTM, but CTTM is definitely a fave. I’m going to try the other new oils soon, too. What I wonder is whether Nude/Stealth works better in spray or oil form. I only found out about these things this year. If only I could relive my more carefree & reckless teen years using these. Ah, I can dream can’t I 🙂 ---

Very nice report Dominique. Haha, I think we all have those teen flashback what-ifs when we have awesome phero days. I know I do. Haha So how would you compare the oil to the spray CTTM2? Which lasts longer? Which hits harder? How’s the smell, is it really like ‘no fragrance’ at all? How far away would you say it could affect people, compared to the spray? When you say ‘social pocket’ are you at all involved or centered into this pocket like do people want to just talk to you? Is it like an 8-ball corner pocket or side pocket? (Ok that last one i was joking) 🙂 How did it make you feel, compared to the spray? ---

Ah, I can dream can’t I 🙂 If you can create a journal, or even a thread maybe in the women’s section and do your best to provide all that you can I will stay true to my word and nominate your post for the CTTM oil if that is what you got already. I think Jdub covered it with a lot of what we would like to see, maybe a batch or lot number would help us out to.
