i really believe if you find the right blend for each situation the products can produce really great results but i have 2 main issues: 1. Scent: i love the smell of A314 and some of the sprays as well but the scent seems more “stand-alone” quality vice an accent to a cologne you may like wearing. i haven’t tried wearing a nice colgogne with the [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) but i believe they would clash. i wish they would introduce an unscented line of the same mones. 2. Overkill: too many mones can lead to not so desirable outcomes. i may be overreacting when i did this but if i put on some spray in the AM, and had to refresh it around like 3 pm, i was concerned i would OD on mones so i’d cleans the skin i sprayed in the moring basically to start over fresh. that can be exhausting day in and day out applying and re-applying mones and cleaning off your affected areas so you have on too many mones. is this what you do or do you just add another spray as the time comes and forget about the sprays you let off in the morning? ---

1 - Apart from Ammo, which is at a light cologne strength, all the rest of the sprays are in [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) at 6%, which quickly dries down light. A314 alc is in Akuto, also at 6%, so again it becomes very faint fast. There is already a large amount of discussion on which colognes work best and TBH, some of my strongest scent hits have been with a range of good colognes, underscored by Akuto - This is a very adaptable scent. Neroli is even easier - Its a particularly common component in many colognes already, so it tends to just enhance the citrus notes nicely. 🙂 2 - Overkill - yes. This is why you need to test fully to find your sweet spot for the range of situations you will be using your pheros in. One size does not fit all here and you will soon learn how to use your refreshes to adapt a mix to the prevailing conditions and yes, sometimes a full wash and change/refresh is a good tactic - none degrades to a god-awful stink! At other times you can rely on other factors like nols degrading to none to control the overtness an adjust your topups to keep it in balance. In most cases, a far smaller amount will be needed on topup. Another factor to keep in mind is that the temp, humidity, your sweating and natural phero load all affect diffusion and degradation, so in some cases topups are closer together or further apart depending. Then, some pheros degrade faster or slower than others. Most are in the 6hr range in temperate climes but some like IS only last around 3hrs, whilst A314 in oil is more like 8hrs and can easily be extended to around 10hrs by applying over a quality lotion. You need to do the leg work here to find what works for you in your lifestyle. We can’t easily tell you that! 🙂 ---

Unscented is not effective. The binders are in the scent pack and the scent acts as the carrier. Plus mones are not unscented in themselves. They smell pretty nasty. [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) is used in most colognes and perfumes as a binder and because it blends well with other scents. This is why its ideal to carry mones. You can still use your cologne with it. In about 6 hours most of your most of your mones as well as the scent are gone except with oil based products which diffuse slow and long. Oil base tend to produce more subtle hits though. You can use a handi wipe or whatever to clean off the area of application if you want but you don’t have to after 6 hours or so. Maybe just with the heavier anone mixes because anone leaves a slight residue but it takes a long time with no showers before OD levels can occur. OD only really occurs with anone products. You can use to much all at once of others but they don’t build up unless sprayed on clothes which absorb and hold the mones and is not as effective as skin when it comes to diffusion and distance.
