I smelled a custom order of p75 with 20% Himalayan, and [MX297](https://a314.com/product/mx297/) with Akuto 6%. I find that the two smell strikingly similar. Is it possible they accidentally mixed Akuto into my P75 instead of Himalayan..? ---

You know I got some older putative and one is [Akuto](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/akuto/). I think these 2 are pretty much the same or really close. I find Himalayan can be really strong but found that grapefruit tones it down. If you ever get A314 the oil I think the scent is closet to Himalayan. I hope someone else comes in and shines more light on this. ---

I was just kind of bummed because I got the big bottle, and did not really like the scent at all. Still a fan of all the other products though. I think [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) is the absolute best, and will most likely just get that from now on. I recently ordered a-nol spray with 20%. Looking forward to that. Everyone so far has given neroli 2 thumbs up. ---

[Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) by far is the most popular. The Himalayan by itself is a little to much for me to. With grapefruit I love it. I found FF22 and FF23 to be very clean scents also. Overall I think Neroli is the most used. Good job on the experimenting. I think it is all preference and every scent has there place. Have you started a journal yet? So what are you looking for out of the putative? I am in the process of ordering some MXs to test as I have no experience with them yet. ---

If you are still finding your dose ranges, [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) is the one to go-for. Its a good diffuser but settles very light - so you can use a good number of sprays and combinations before the scent gets overpowering. Anything else will usually get too smelly with fewer sprays, although once you have your dose ranges you can adjust concentrations/use different scents to suit. 🙂
