Okay, there’s the [spray pheromones](https://a314.com/product-category/spray-pheromones/), which are pretty much divided into the Instant line (full and travel size) and the experimental line (mainly travel size). Then there are oils, such as A314, which are longer lasting mixes.

What are putatives?

Experimental mixes are always in to-go because they’re just that (experimental mixes that need to be tested _first_ before turning them into a full size 30ml consumer product.) And that’s where we come in to test, so they can know if these experimental mixes will be great as actual consumer products. Obviously they’re not going to risk putting an experimental mix out as a consumer product without testing it first and seeing that it will be a big hit with the public, and also not turn an experimental mix into a full size bottle without it already having some success. I may be wrong though, but I’m guessing Spaceland and CTTM are available full size because they did decent in past testing? If I’m wrong please correct.

Now putatives are molecules that need further research and testing just to see exactly what type of purpose they can or will serve in the [pheromone](https://pheromonelabs.com/) future. That’s another reason why the testing of putatives is very important, as I know they need a **ton** of feedback on said putatives.

Technically all [Pheromones](https://a314.com/) are putatives. You just have some that are more studied and commonly used then others.

Here at Androtics …

Experimones are the frequently used most studied mones. These are the ones people know and recognize most in the mone world.

Putatives are molecules suspected to act like mones. We test them and report back. There are many favorites that do work and some that have been duds over the years. They all come in to-go size because they are for quick testing and feedback

Experimental mixes are a combo of both or sometimes a combo of just a scent and a single putative. Depends on what they are testing

Thanks for the quick and informative reply.

So all of the putatives are the P series, right? [P83](https://a314.com/product/p83/), etc.

Yep anything with a P in front of it.
