Pheromones – The Secret Weapon of Attraction

You don’t have to be born with good looks to be popular – sometimes a little charm can go a long way.  But there’s a secret weapon that those charming people aren’t telling you about – one that can double your appeal to the opposite sex almost instantly, no gym membership required.  It’s based on the natural science of sexual attraction and it’s proven to enhance your love life.  That secret weapon is pheromones. 

What are Pheromones?

Pheromones are naturally occuring chemical compounds found in all insects, animals and humans. They are normally secreted in sweat and other bodily fluids. When pheromones are secreted they dictate sexual behavior and attract the opposite sex. Pheromone is Greek from the word Pheran-to transfer and Horman- to excite. Pheromones are found throughout the living world and are the most ancient form of animal communication. They are nature’s aphrodisiac and, when applied topically, they can greatly improve your game, your relationships and your life.

Animals Use Pheromones to Communicate, but Do Humans?

Aug. 28, 2000 -- Some couples just seem to have a certain chemistry together. Research is showing that they might be exactly right.

Scientists now believe they have found the first human gene associated with the function of pheromones, odorless molecules wafting through the air that signal key survival responses in animals, like dealing with danger or finding a mate.

While rodents and other creatures essentially are reactive animals that depend heavily on pheromones for behavioral cues, it has been a topic of debate whether humans kept any pheromone function along the course of evolution. Humans use their larger brains to rely more on judgment and complex sensory cues, such as vision.

Researchers studying animals have shown how pheromones work, tracing complex neurological paths to stimulate parts of the brain that are deeply rooted in instinct.

Scientists have had their suspicions that humans also use pheromones to communicate with each other chemically. But only recently have experts been able to tease out the parts of the human body that might function this way.

Neurogeneticists at Rockefeller University and Yale say they have isolated a human gene, labeled V1RL1, they believe makes a pheromone receptor, or the chemical's personal reserved parking place. Pheromones would attach to this receptor when they are inhaled into the mucous lining in the nose.

"This is the first convincing identification of a human pheromone receptor," said University of Colorado biochemist Joseph Falke, PhD.

Rodents and other mammals also have the V1RL1 gene, and they rely heavily on pheromone cues to survive. However, it has not been determined whether the gene is active in humans or what sort of activity the gene could trigger.

"The ultimate test will be to find a pheromone that binds to the receptor and triggers a measurable physiological response," Falke said.

The research was published in the September issue of the journal Nature Genetics.

Researchers took samples from a gene bank and scanned them for matches to the rodent genes from the V1r family. They found eight matches in human genetic material.

Further testing showed that seven of the eight human V1r genes are inoperative. The potentially functional gene, V1RL1, subsequently was found in 11 out of 11 randomly chosen people from varying ethnic backgrounds, researchers said.

"In mice, we think there are more than 100 functioning genes in the V1r family," said Ivan Rodriguez, PhD, of Rockefeller University, lead author of the study. "But in humans, V1RL1 may very well be the sole functioning gene in the family."

"Why has it hung around all this time?" said Charles Wysocki, MS, PhD, of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia. "It must be very important if it has outlived all of its predecessors."

Scientists aren't sure what happened to the other 99 genes.

With celebrities including Paris Hilton using pheromones in their fragrance lines it’s no wonder they are hotter than ever. Unfortunately, not all pheromones are created equal. The effectiveness of pheromones is relative to the concentration used. The rule of thumb states the higher the concentration, the greater the results.
Pheromones Planet is an interactive peer driven website that rates the leading pheromones on the market. Pheromone evaluations are based on concentration, scent, user feedback,  lasting power and price. New pheromones are being constantly added.
The survival of the human race is based upon mating of the species and procreation. Some believe it is instinct while others feel it is divine intervention. Either way, pheromones seem to a prevalent topic when it comes to the mating of humans. The Vomeronasal Organ, known as the VMO, has to be present to detect hormones or pheromones. This is an organ that is in the nasal cavity and it allows people to pick up the odorless pheromones.
Once the VNO picks up the chemicals, signals are sent to the brain, which sorts the signals and then sends them on to the area of the brain responsible for emotions. They can be sent to the hypothalamus as well. A response from the body then occurs, depending on the chemical compound, which can lead to automatic emotional, metabolic, or physical reactions.

Do Human Pheromones Really Exist?

Do Human Pheromones Really Exist?

What is it that attracts people to each other? Nice hair? Big muscles? Body scent? Recent studies have shown that the cause of such sexual attractions could be airborne chemicals called pheromones, airborne and odorless molecules "emitted by an individual and cause changes in physiology and/or behavior of another individual" (8). Pheromones, which have been known to influence sexual activity, aggression, and territory marking, have been found in many animals, including amoebas, fish, hamsters, and monkeys (3). However, whether or not these chemicals affect, or even exist in humans, has been a subject for debate in the scientific community. Since pheromones are not detectable by the human sense of smell, scientists believe that pheromones are sensed by the vomeronasal organ (VNO), part of the olfactory system and located inside the mouth or nose (9). For many years, the existence of the VNO produced much speculation because it had only been found occasionally in adult humans, and when it was found, it was believed to be vestigial. However, in 1985 a study was conducted in which the noses of 100 human adults were examined post-mortem. The VNO was found in the septums of 70% of those examined. Since 1985, much evidence has been gathered to suggest the presence of the VNO in most adult humans (2), but many scientists still believe it to be a functionless organ that was inherited from some ancestor of humans. However, recent genetic research has shown the possibility of a receptor in the nose that could sense pheromones. When searching the human genome for genes that had similar sequences to those of rodent pheromone receptors, scientists found one gene that could produce a pheromone receptor, and when searching olfactory tissue from the human nose, they found this receptor (5).
In the past few years researchers have believed to have found scientific proof that "humans have the potential to communicate pheromonally, either by using an unidentified part of the main olfactory system, or perhaps with a sixth sense, with its own unique pathway (1)." One study was based on the observation that women living together develop synchrony of menstrual cycles. In this study, researchers placed gauze pads under the armpits (a body part where pheromones are believed to be secreted in the sweat) of nine women during specific phases of their menstrual cycle. They each wore the pads for at least eight hours. After being treated with alcohol and frozen, the pads were placed under the noses of twenty other women. The women that sniffed the pads of the women that had been in the preovulatory phase of their cycle found that their own menstrual cycles were shortened from one to fourteen days. The women that sniffed the pads of the women that had been in the ovulation phase if their menstrual cycles found that their own cycles were lengthened from one to twelve days (1). This suggests that there are substances or chemicals released from women that can accelerate or delay menstrual cycles (4), which influence the release of eggs (10), and thus lead to synchrony of cycles of women living in proximity. However, since the substances from the pads were placed on the upper lip, it is difficult to say how these women sensed them, "whether it's through skin, the mucous membranes in the nose, or the VNO (9)."
Another study shows that babies prefer clothing worn by their own mothers. In this study, ten mothers were asked to wear a cotton pad in their bras for three hours. The pads were then given to their babies to see whether or not they could distinguish between the pads worn by their mothers and those worn by strangers. At the age of six weeks, eight babies had responded by sucking to their mother's pad, one responded to a stranger's pad, and one did not react to its mothers pad, but reacted with a cry to a stranger's pad (3). Researchers believe this could suggest that men and women choose their mates by sniffing out those that have "compatible immune systems (9)."
Some researchers believe that there is a relationship between physical attractiveness and body odor. In a study to test this hypothesis, 16 males and 19 females were asked to wear a t-shirt on three consecutive nights without using any perfumes or deodorants. Fifteen more subjects each smelled a t-shirt of the opposite sex, rating its scent on pleasantness and sexiness. Another group of 22 men and women were asked to rate the subjects that wore the t-shirts in terms of physical attractiveness. The results showed a correlation between facial attractiveness and sexiness of body odor of females. However, there was only a correlation between facial attractiveness and sexiness of body odor of males when females raters were in "their most fertile phase of menstrual cycle (day 5 to 16) (6)." Nevertheless, this study does suggest a relationship between physical attractiveness and attractiveness of body odor.
A similar study attempted to find out whether or not males can sense ovulation by smelling copulins, fatty acids in vaginal secretions. Males smelled copulin samples from women who were in three different phases of the menstrual cycle. The results showed that males generally could not distinguish between a pre-menstrual, menstrual, and ovulatory scents. However, the males also rated the physical attractiveness of the females, and results showed that females were rated more attractive when the males were smelling their copulins then when they were weren't, and that their testosterone levels increased when they were smelling the copulins (7).
This research strongly suggests the presence of chemicals that cause changes in non-conscious behavior. In my research, I mostly found information that discussed scents that females produce that attract males or offspring, such as copulins, or chemicals that affect the menstrual cycle. This is interesting because it supports the old stereotype that in nature males search out females as mates and not vice versa. The existence of the VNO in females might suggest otherwise, but it should be a topic for greater research. I was also a bit wary of the studies that involved the rating of physical attractiveness, simply because attractiveness is so relative. In any case, my research suggests that sexual receptivity is based on more than attractiveness of physical features.

Pheromones Are Nature's Secret Weapons

A subtle way of getting the attention of the opposite sex person is through his or her nose. While you are trying to figure out how, let me explain some background. The olfactory bulb at the top (inside) of the nose feeds directly into the old brain limbic system, which is the most primitive part of the brain. This is where the emotions, sexual responses and body language are initiated. That is why odors can evoke powerful basic instinctual emotions.
About one percent of human genes (and that is a lot!) encode our ability to detect approximately 10,000 scents. Smell accounts for the largest gene family yet discovered in mammals. Aroma cues are taken very seriously by the brain. Odors guide one to eating, mating and avoiding danger.
Pheromones are chemical molecules produced by insects, animals and humans. These molecules are so strong they affect the behavior of those who inhale or ingest them. For the most part, these chemical pheromones are used to stimulate sexual interest in the opposite sex mate. Some insects and animals will not mate without first getting a whiff of their prospective partner. After a good sniff of the right chemicals signaling good health and a more than receptive attitude, there is nothing stopping the insects and animals from mating. For example, pheromones produced by male cockroaches attract female cockroaches. Not only that, it causes them to get into the correct mating position!

Do Pheromones Really Work?

Or maybe a better question might be, do human pheromones exist?

And if so, can they really attract others?

Since starting this web site several years ago, I've received a growing number of questions about pheromone products. Guys want to know if pheromone sprays and colognes really work - and if so, which pheromone products are the best for attracting others.

I've always been very curious about pheromones ever since I first heard about them, so I've decided to do some extensive research on the subject in order to learn as much as I can about this fascinating subject.

Over the past 2 years, I've even tried many of the well-known pheromone products on the market - just to see what would happen.

Not only have I learned a lot about the history and scientific studies involving human pheromones, but I've discovered what works and what doesn't. I now know which products are for real and which are complete garbage.

My tests may not be "clinical" but I think they are a good indication of what to expect (or what not to expect) in real-world situations. In any case, I think you'll find my results very interesting.

But before getting into my results, let's take a moment to understand more about human pheromones - what they are, where they come from, and so on...

So what exactly are pheromones?


Pheromones are airborne chemicals which are emitted to attract the opposite sex.

Researchers at the University of Colorado have found that pheromones are detected through the Vemeronasal Organ (VNO) in the nose. The VNO functions as the distinct sensory apparatus that detects pheromones. All people they examined had two small holes on both sides of the hard divider in the nose. The holes are found just inside the opening of the nose. A group of clear cells lies just behind these holes. These cells are similar in appearance to nerve cells . These scientists have concluded these cells are responsible for detecting human sex pheromones. The pheromones then transmit a signal to the hypothalamus in the brain (the brain's center of emotions), sending a chemical message of sexual attraction.

Pheromones are believed to be detected on an instinctual, subconscious level. In other words, you don't know that you're receiving them, but you are.

There are many different species of animals (including humans) which emit pheromones. In the animal kingdom, it is very easy to see the awesome power that pheromones have over sexual instincts. For example, a dog "in heat" drives other dogs crazy with sexual desire from miles away - using only their natural pheromones.

Basically, the drive to mate is a strong natural instinct in all animals (including humans) and sexual chemicals are what drives those sexual instincts.

But pheromones may be much more important than we realize...

Pheromones - Definition For Sexual Attraction in Men and For Women

Pheromones, are nature's own aphrodisiac. The word is derived from the Greek language and roughly translated means "a communicator of excitement" which I believe adequately describes the chemical. It stands to reason that all creatures need some means to attract the opposite sex apart from looks. Nature's way of using pheromones is unique and is used by most animals including the human variety. Strange as it may sound, but the nearest to a human's pheromones are from pigs.
Boar-Mate has been used for many years in animal husbandry, which makes me believe conclusively that it is not "all in the mind" as some would suggest. In fact a local pig farmer living in our area came to us to buy some of our product for humans because for some particular reason Boar-Mate was not readily available at that time.
The pheromones produced by men and women do vary slightly in their makeup, plus men secrete around two to three times as much as women. The most important ingredients in the formula are Androstenol and Androstenone for men, plus in the woman's secretions along with Androstenol is a small amount of copulins which are fruity odours and natural aromatic acids. These are known to have a relaxing effect on men. As these pheromones are most strong at the fertile stage of the female reproductive cycle, levels can be drastically reduced by any hormonal imbalance caused by contraceptive preparations or the menopause, plus of course competition from any perfume used. Also the use of de-odourants and the contraceptive pill seem to have interfered with our natural pheromonal functions of the olfactory nerve.
The largest single cause of impotence in civilised society is tension. Sadly, men peak with their pheromone production around the age of 20 and then there is a gradual decline in most men. Hence the production of synthetic versions appearing in the marketplace in the 1990s.
Unfortunately though for consumers there are many companies producing so called human pheromones but not using Androstenone and Androstenol, instead they use cheaper chemicals with a like sounding name such as Androsterone and they simply do NOT work. They are deceiving the general public as are those other companies proclaiming that each bottle of their product has 1, 2 or 3 grams of Androstenone.
Well, firstly high grade Androstenone and Androstenol pheromones are extremely expensive retailing between £4,595 to £9,100 per gram and £1,500 - £2,400 per gram respectively depending on quantities purchased. These are real prices and if, as others claim, they have such high concentrations, how can they afford to effectively give them away? Work it out for yourself....... it's just fraud, and not only that, if these claims were even true.... you would not get ANYBODY near you because you would stink like a polecat. If pheromones WERE used in these quantities, it would have an enormous repellent effect!
Our laboratory actually produces their own top grade Androstenone and Androstenol crystals and have pioneered the production of them since 1979. These rogue companies trade on the fact that to analyse their products would be time consuming and very expensive as only a gas chromatograph can measure these minute chemical quantities with any degree of accuracy.
So as the saying goes, "you pays your money and makes your choice"

Definition of Pheromone

Any chemical compound secreted by an organism in minute amounts to elicit a particular reaction from other organisms of the same species. Pheromones are widespread among insects and vertebrates (except birds) and are present in some fungi, slime molds, and algae. The chemicals may be secreted by special glands or incorporated into other substances (e.g., urine), shed freely, or deposited in selected locations. Pheromones are used to bring creatures together (e.g., in termite, bee, and ant colonies), lead them to food (e.g., in scent trails laid by ants), signal danger (e.g., when released by wounded fish to alert others), attract a mate and elicit sexual behaviour (numerous examples, possibly including humans), and influence sexual development (in many mammals and certain insects). Alarm pheromones often last a shorter time and travel a shorter distance than other types. In vertebrates, chemical stimuli often influence parent-young responses. Sex-attractant pheromones are used in certain products to lure and trap unwanted or harmful insects.
