Not sure if this has been asked before or not. Did a quit search, and didn’t find any result to my liking.

For the [Pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/) in my ‘Signature’ (If it is Pheromone specific), whats the average self life? I bought in bulk so to speak, I have tons..

About four to five months old; Is this too old?  
Is there a difference between oil and Spray?

Pheros last pretty much a long time as long as you store them in the right conditions. (No light and around room temp.) So you’re pheros are fine.

Keep them in a cool dark place and they should be fine for a year or two. Break down can occur but mostly in oil based products. Gently Shake the bottle after its been sitting a long time and that should take care of it.
