Most of the grumbling is because of the change in scent. The current oil version is Royale, which is scented with sandalwood. There is also a spray version. I’m not sure what the scent is, but you should check them out if you’re interested in something faster acting than oil.
Overall, the current batch of A314 works just fine for my needs. It has given me incredible hits with my targets. I’m really loving A314! Wish I had it when I was in my 20s.
Never mix the pheromones in the same bottle with your cologne, at least when using AD products. The products are specially dosed and formulated to have the right ratios and dispersal. If you add their products to your cologne, you will change everything and have a much different effect.
If you want to use a cover, spray your cologne first and wait 10 minutes for it to dry completely. After that you can spray on your pheromones. Always spray the pheromones last, or spray it on a different body part.
The same would apply here. Keep them separate, don’t mix them. You might find some postings about mixing pheromones and colognes on the forums. However, that should only be done by experienced users because you can render a product useless without any of the desired effects.
You can layer pheromones, too. Apply one product and wait 10 minutes before applying the next product over it. Or you can apply them on different body parts, such as one product on your neck and the other product on your arms. Check out this thread for more info.
