    visit-red-300x50PNG
    i

    bought a bottle of NPA and SoE a few years ago (5 i think). didn't use those very often

    - i kept the bottles in a completely dark place and at low

    temperature...

    so these days wanted to try the pheromones again... you think they still work? or should i buy

    some new bottles?

    others have posted

    similar questions about pheromone shelf life. if the pheromones havent been subjected to changing temperatures and

    have been in a dark place as you have stated, they should be fine. five years is a long time though, if you use them

    be very observant while wearing them around other people. if you don't notice anything for at least a week of

    continuous use, then the potency of the pheromones has probably degraded.

    Recently I read a report about stability of pheromones and it was stated that a

    decompotion in alcohol is not possible! The only threat is that apparently no bottle is absolutely close and as

    pheromones are very exhalable it will lose effectiviness on this way!

    I tend to agree with S-M and

    5alpha. As with perfumes, air and sunlight are the worst enemies, not time. I'd give them a try and find out.

    I do have some pheromone products

    that are getting kinda old as a matter of fact... but more like as not I haven't been using them because I either

    didn't get any reaction, or I got a bad one...

    I suppose it may be an idea to dig some out and give them

    another try to see if things are different. Who knows, maybe some DO "improve" with age.

    The ones I do like, or

    that I feel have given me "positive" results usually don't last long enough to see if they change over a relatively

    long time as I use them up too fast.

    Yes, pheromones exhale quickly. They

    can not store for a few years.

    In a tightly closed container

    kept in a dark place they should be fine almost forever. In the case of alcohol based products I would expect the

    alcohol to evaporate first because it is so volitol.

    Someone had mentioned EW

    eating thru the dropper. I haven't noticed that or any leaking. Although the container I keep all the mones items

    in certainly does have a strong EW smell when opened. Apparently the smell is strong enough to get out of a sealed

    bottle.

    I have contacted an phero-shop concerning the stability of pheromones and have got

    following answer: Pheromones are stable for many years unless you do open the bottle! After broach the container,

    pheromones are stable for 3 to 6 month! At least the manufacturer of PPA seems to recommend to consume the bottle

    within this time!

    I wonder about that answer from

    them S-M. A manufacturer would certainly be motivated for you to use their product more quickly, both for sales

    reasons and for potential dissatisfaction.

    Pheromones are nothing more than chemicals-in-a-carrier, just like

    commercial perfume, which can be viable for decades if stored properly.

    I guess the big question is: are the

    pheromone molecules themselves highly volatile, irrespective of the carrier?

    I would guess that, given the

    reality of "build-up" and "residual effects", they're not all that volatile, hence a long life span in the

    bottle.

    Andrew, have you tried out your old products yet?

    Maybe it can not be

    generalized, because the PPA is apparently mainly water-based! This was the reason too because I have ask them about

    properties of PPA concerning evaporation rate, mixing and others! And that alcohol plays a big role in stability

    make sense - alcoholic drinks like schnaps, wodka and even wine can stored for a long time wheras for example fruit

    juice (once opend) is just stable for a few days but when not opend it can stored for a longer time! But as the most

    LS-products are not water-based this should not been worried!

    Have contacted LaCroy

    regarding how long NPA can be stored:

    (short) time after I have first opened? I
    conjunction with an other pheromone-product I have heard that a

    closed
    bottle can stored for a long time wheras a bottle once opend should consume
    within any weeks! How is it

    with NPA?

    Thank you in advance!

    properly a marketing play to get you to use the product faster!

    Yes true, also true that the storage proceedures of pheromone products is the

    main contributing factor to the duration of their lifespan.


    Like keep them away from direct sunlight and keep the

    air out.

    Also LT as you say is only active for a short

    duration once it has been applied.

    My last large bottle

    of LT was good for nearly 2 years and even the last sprays worked in a very satisfactory manner, ( did the job and

    created trust )

    Although i had kept mine stored in the

    door of my refrigerator since it arrived here, untill the very last dregs lol. LT is a good product when applied

    with wisdom and knowledge.
