Hello I am from Malaysia. Age 40+. Never used anything like this before. Keen to try this to help me in work and social. For work, looking for something that help me to be more persuasive and authoritative esp. when I need to present to senior management…just need that extra boost. For social, looking for help to enhance friendship. BTW, does the formula has any expiration date? Any typical shelf life? Thanks. ---

for work, authority, status and respect in your 40s, A314 oil is the best of all. Its a subtle and wide-ranging mix and can take a little while to ease into but give it a prolonged testing at a range of doses in different situations and after a while, all those little things that didn’t happen before begin to add-up and you suddenlly realise things are happening for the good. 🙂 Or you can just wear too much and get your boss/colleagues edgy about their jobs! 😉 The oil also settles to a very light scent about half an hour after application, which is useful as some professional enfironments frown on strong scents. You can also steer the A314 with spray products like IH - to increase its trust/confidence aspect or IS to give it a lighter, more sociable authority that is good in team situations but remember that sprays don’t last as long as the oil per application, approx 6hrs as opposed to oils 8-10hrs, so managing topups can be awkward. Personally I work with A314 as the baseline, which is great most of the time and bring the others out for specific occasions that suit their properties. A314 is pretty good socially but can be a bit severe/standoffish, so it benefits from some kind of social/sexual steering - I often use IH/IS, or use a smaller A314 dose alongside Ammo, or a higher dose with TUTH in more raunchy environments. Other products like Ammo, [Summer Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/) and IG are all useful here too. IG in particular has a lighter, more social feel and Asians do seem to demonstrate a very general to Androsterone (IG and A314) I know the oil is expensive but if you are wanting a cheaper try-out, the /b spray is dosed to be closer in impact, spray for drop but it does lack oil’s subtlety and longevity on the skin, and works out far dearer in the long run as a togo only holds 40 sprays, compared to around 270 drops in a bottle of oil, which will last you several months at a typical workday dose. Oil is also far better suited to hot/humid environments, which can hammer sprays, leading to much shorter active life due to far higher diffusion. Shelf life in the bottle is excellent - mones are very stable, even at pretty high temprature but hot conditions can damage scent components. If anything, its exposure to light that damages pheros most, so if you can keep them in a dark, cool/room temp place and avoid contamination from the skin, they will last you a long time - Several years. 🙂 ---

Welcome Cpm, We do have a shelf life of about 3 years , however most users that has been with AD since they opened their doors know differently. They had their mones for that long and they even work better than the ones they purchase recently. Not to say that there is anything wrong with them, just that time does not affect the mones as long as you take care of them Don’t leave them in the car, dark, hot , stuffy areas etc Your gc was issued! ---
