A314
Overview
A314 is one of the most iconic and discussed pheromone products ever created. Originally developed in 2003 by Androtics Chemosensory Research (now sold through a314.com), it’s designed as a “social chemistry tool for professionals” - projecting confident, masculine authority suitable for daytime and professional contexts.

Community Consensus
Rating: 8/10
A314 is legendary for its consistent respect and authority effects. For daytime and professional use, few products match its track record. However, vendor issues and premium pricing prevent a higher rating. The formula itself is excellent - the business side is the concern.
Highly recommended for:
- Professional environments
- Daytime social situations
- Those seeking respect over raw attraction
- Business meetings and networking
- Experienced users who know what they want
Not recommended for:
- Nightclub/bar environments
- Those seeking aggressive sexual attraction
- Budget-conscious buyers
- Users uncomfortable with vendor uncertainty
The original “Respect Pheromone” - when it works, nothing matches it.
