Well I dripped a drop on my finger and spread it on my jawline is this how you guys do it as well? As I don’t see any other way to dripit directly
That’s the way to do it, yes.
Im going to take a shower in the morning and get all fresh, then head off to starbucks in the morning as i have a gold card i get free refills so im going to spend sometime around people while having a french vanilla latte iced and see what hits i get..
There’s 2 versions still? One is A314/m and the other is ‘CLON’?
Sorry if I’m dense here, but what’s the difference this time?
To paraphrase a post I read from Dee, somewhere, “It’s a duplicate somebody accidentally made on the back end, and CLON is ‘Clone’”
you can’t add clone in your cart. so only a dummy.
OK, so this latest version is rev. 32 again then? No more Royale?
I’m confused.. ![]()
Both my bottles are rev32. Also the drops come out quicker than i expected. Thought it would be a thicker. I ended up getting 2 drops everytime. Ill try the 90 degree thing mentioned in the a314 forum tomorrow . Not sure if it was the a314 but i had bad anxiety today. I just got off my eliptical trying to shake it off. Ended up with like 4 drops
Scenthound:
CLON is a dummy entry, indeed.
Current sold version is Rev. 32 again, yes. Who knows what the future holds for Royale. It’s a good thing that A314 is back though. I enjoyed Royale and I am thrilled I’ll have the chance to try Rev. 32 as well.

Yes, the position of the dropper’s venting hole is very important when generating the drop to achieve consistency in drop size.
Good luck.
Yup - Allign the vent hole in the dropper so that it sits at the highest point when you hold it for dropping. If the rebate is clogged with liquid, you mayneed to clean it out with a bit of tissue - you can still apply from the tissue if you want, so ther isn’t much wastage. ![]()
That will help considerably with consistency.
So far I’m liking it - A314, Rev 32, Batch-C0672K1, dated for the 14th of March this year.
Scent is more like what we expect from A314 but it is still light, lighter than previous batches of Rev32 but there is still a hint of it apparent by ten hours after an over-lotion application, Royale would have given-up completely a good couple of hours before.
Diffusion - Fine. I’ve been wearing it on a couple of very busy days and the reults are pretty much what I expect from Rev32 - good respect and engagement and people are doing what I tell them and seeking me out to resolve their problems. A goodly number are taking note of me and I see the backs stiffen when I’m around them too - Ahh, respect! ![]()
It is not however as bright/social/sociable as Royale, nor does it have the positively determined/do-shit till it hurts dynamic that was probably the aspect of Royale that I liked the most, so handling Rev32 it with a bit more reseve/coolness may well be in order - In other words, business as usual! ![]()
I thnk I’ll be keeping this Rev for work and maybe more high-impact mixes, whilst I use-up my Royale in the evening and in more social/sexual-leaning situations. ![]()
Thanks for the feedback Mobo.
My order finally came in! I’m looking forward to test rev 32 as well.
Greetings all!
Been ‘incognito’ for several months due to work chaos and trying to make a success of myself.
Finally decided to make the dive and order some A314. Before I do, I was wondering if someone could give me a brief summary of the various formulations of A314 sold over the past 5 years. It is my understanding, from senior forum posters, that A314 was initially very potent and delivered serious effects in the trust/respect/authority/alpha departments. I’m not saying it isn’t now, I just realize as companies develop their products further, they experiment and innovate. I know rev 32 is back now and replacing Royale.
I guess what I’m saying, is what are your personal experiences with these different formulations and is the current rev 32 more like the original formula that made the product famous?
About to drop a pretty penny and go all out with the restock of several mones and finally try the mighty A314. I’m in sales so I cannot wait to add it to IS, IH and IO (think those four are good together for sales)?
Thanks guys!
Before hazing your mind with other people’s opinions of previous revisions of A314, if you never tried it, try the current version and see for yourself. You won’t regret it. That’s just friendly advice
. IMO, Royale is great, Rev32 is great. They’re different. If you insist, you can use the search function, this subject (difference between versions) has been discussed a lot on the forum already.
IS / IH are great for sales. IO might generate more mindless chitchat than actual sales, so proceed with caution in such a setting. But still, get IO for social purposes.
Nice to see you back.
The current Rev32 is shaping-up for me to be a perfectly usable product in the grand tradition of A314. The only difference I get is that the scent is slightly lighter than previous iterations of the same Rev. Otherwise, the smooth, cool, collected, trusting and and in-control status is back and I’m more than glad to see it!
Apart from that, Rev31 was a turkey due to poor diffusion and best left behind as they offered refunds/exchanges and although there is debate about the relative merits of other revs and we all have our personal favourites, the differences between them are IMO less major.
The main thing I see here is that what I eventually came to like about Royale was it being a bit different, with a much more social and dynamic slant - although initially I was very much in two minds about it due to the very same differences and the annoying, fidgety self effects for the first few weeks of using it. I found it good in attraction/sociable mixes that hit across a wider age range than usual for me but as a work/professional product it was not so good - sort of joking and backslapping with the bosses instead of getting stuck-in there and delivering the goods, which is what counts in the long term. In some ways Royale had some qualities in common with the old A314 SBE special edition (but that didn’t have the self effect issues), which was good in sexual/social mixes around a wider age range than usual (hell, I landed a 24yr old on it!) but as a work/professional status product, it was somewhat lacking.
I have an idea that if AD had sold Royale as “IG Oil” or even “SBE revisited” - they would probably have been sung to the rafters for it but as A314, it barely cut the mustard but with the latest Rev32, they are back on-track.
I’ll write more about it in my journal, but I also agree with the differences of Royal and Rev 32. I saw a guy do a complete 180 in behavior when I switched from Royale to Rev 32. Very strange.
I’m so excited to finally use A314 Rev32…I’ve heard of its legendary properties and it should complement me very well. Been sending in support tickets to get my password for A314 insider’s club, but it’s been a no go. ![]()
PLEASE HELP.
Anyway, from what it sounds like, the punch in A314 is back and I can finally get on board and see what the hype is about.
To get the password, you must order A314, receive it and send an email to the adress shown with your PO number to request access. It is well explained on the main forum page. I guess it is just to make it harder on some trolls who heard of the hype…
Yup, did that. Just impatient for a response =\
Give customer service the time to analyze your request and you should be on your way
.
Good luck.
