Newbie question, I know, but I’ve been wondering. If I held the bottle close to my pulse points and sprayed, would that be better because it’s more concentrated and precise than a broad mist over? Also, how long do social mones last, again? The store description says 6 hours, some people on this forum say 2-4 hours, etc. And come to think of it, I read that [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/) lasts pretty long, due to the androsterone. But HOW LONG? Thanks, you’re all being extremely gracious! ---

Actually the more body you cover the more diffusion occurs so its best to hold the bottle a 5 or 6 inches away from your application point and sweep while you spray however we tend to tell new people to just start with there pulse points. Here are some application tips you can try once you get going > [@Tisha's application tips](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/tishas-application-tips/12657): > > We talked about crazy ways we use our pheromones in another thread but how do you apply your pheromones? Do you spray them in one concentrated spot ? I have a few Methods that I use to increase the diffusion of my pheromones and get them mingling out there among my targets, Pulse points method When people first start out we tell them to spray them to your pulse points. These areas tend to heat up and the heat from the body diffuses the pheromones best. In the summer months when the body hea… Most of the alcohol sprays last from 3 to 6 hours. We all are biologically different and live in different environments so the body may heat up more or less so its hard to pin point a exact time. IG is said to last about 4 to 5 hours while some people find Ishine lasts 3 to 4. Oil based like A314 can last 12 hours or better. I find the first 3 hours with any mix are the most effective then slowly the hits become more subtle. Tisha ---

This brings me to a question… Thursday morning I showered after a night of wearing MX388(didn’t really scrub myself like usual) and applied 3 drops a314 and 1 spray shine4x… 8 hours later I put on 3 sprays IG 2 sprays IH and 3 sprays p130… So Friday morning before my son came I sprayed 1 spray of of shine4x without showering at ALL… later that afternoon we fell asleep and I ended up being rushed for work so was unable to shower and had some very light b.o.(two-three day old mones without a good shower) I was getting INCREDIBLE HITS from everyone so last night I showered but just really washed my hair and armpits with no application of mones at all…MORE mone like HITS at work… This could just be continued respect hits from everyone’s constant exposure to A314, but **was wondering not ALL mones eventually break down to -none so WHAT do they break down to nothing or just STINKyNESS!?!?!** Read something I think from Mharris about not showering and camping and getting hits from natural mones. **When it comes to build up are most people referring to “watch out for”-none or do they mean all mones in general?** I’m interested in MAYBE(not too serious about it) attempting a month of “au-natural” and see what happens, but besides brushing my teeth how would a guy stay somewhat clean!?!?! ---

There is a thread here somewhere about natural [pheromones](https://a314.com/). I can’t remember the poster’s name but he’s from Canada. He did an au natural experiment by bathing in mineral salts to kill bacteria. There are mineral salt deoderants that you can buy. They work well, but I haven’t tried the no soap thing yet. ---

He didn’t know, used to the fragrance Just as the days went without bathing He felt manly and not like a maiden He had one dread, and fungus Said he worked on peoples’ toilets with plungers Girls let the guy you were with ??? So guys take your cue from this number [CHORUS] (x2) You gotta wash your ass, if you must You gotta wash your hair, if you must You gotta brush your teeth, if you must Or else you’ll be funkyyyyyyyy Now at class you need total concentration But there’s kids in the back holdin conversations Crackin on each other, and neither were poster boys Both of em smell like the type that soap avoids Coast and Joy, they leave their absence One’s fool’s feet smelled like it struck some matchsticks Brimstone, girls would never bring him home I was laughin, then his friend raised his tone And said, “Bud(?) you rolled all over yourself” “yeaaa” I know some people your ass should be submerged Like you need to deal with water cuz you smell like a turd Wanna cap get some courage, your feet smell lurid Well look it up And while you’re at it, get a cup And squeeze the sweat out your sweatshirt and drink it or gargle You get our vote for most stinkiest That nigga started thinkin of shit, said I was frail I said he was stale Underarms is ripe Undergarments tight, about to leap out your holy sweats And we holdin bets, and after this I’m gonna collect Nigga check, yourself Respect yourself And wash your mothafuckin body 'fore your sweatshirt melt Like radioactive, no lady find you attractive The funk got you captive You don’t need a map bitch [CHORUS] (x2) You gotta wash your ass, if you must You gotta wash your hair, if you must You gotta brush your teeth, if you must Or else you’ll be funkyyyyyyyy ---

I think I remember reading somewhere that the founder/head scientist behind AD actually started out by noticing that he would get more hits if he didn’t shower. It caused him to become interested in pheromones, and that is what started the company.. I guess that’s the advantages of pheromones from AD. You can smell good and have the mones! ---

Maybe, just maybe but not likely, I’d get sucked into trying some non-showering experiment to create attraction if synthetic mones didn’t exist. Now they do and I really can’t see any point in going around smelling like a hobo when I can just be clean and choose what kind of signature i want to be putting out straight from a bottle.
