ANIMAL INSTINCT: HOW PHEROMONES INFLUENCE YOUR SEX APPEAL
There’s even some evidence indicating that scent can manipulate our sexual behaviours and proclivities. Here we’ll outline what new love-seekers can do themselves with scent, and how brands such as Eye of Love can help. A plethora of animals use smell to communicate with each other, detect their food, and avoid predators. Humans might not need to be aware of the scents of relatively close prey or predators, but we are no less affected by them.

What are Pheromones?
Pheromones are odorless chemicals, thought to be able to induce changes in one’s behaviours and/or emotions in perceivers. Certainly many animals produce pheromones, but whether these kinds of chemicals are emitted by people, whether or not they might be detectable, and whether they function similarly in humans, remain to be more rigorously tested as contenders for the changes that the cologne or perfume industry claims them to be.
Androstenol (AND) – a steroid from the apocrine sweat of people with penises – is claimed to be a very potent pheromone in some research papers, and its binary-equal, estratetraenol, found in the urine of people with vulvas, is similarly described. It is rare to find a modern-day pheromone perfume without at least ONE of these chemicals.
How do Pheromones Work?
There’s a vomeronasal organ (VNO) – the same organ animals use to detect chemicals that might indicate ovulation in females or sexual receptivity in males – tucked away in the double layers of cartilage that comprise the human nasal passages. Although it is generally thought that the human VNO is not functional, and probably always has been, it sparks speculation about why it exists in the human body anyway.
Our brains are physiologically and psychologically influenced through scent. One study in 2016 stated that ‘research has shown that fragrance or odour can help to regulate various brain waves related to mood, stress, the ability to work and many other functions’ More importantly, if scent influences our attention and certain behaviour, and if it helps us establish quick, deep-rooted connections in our brains, then it must affect some aspects of our attractiveness to ourselves and to others. Science has yet to catch up.
What Ingredients are Used in Pheromone Perfumes?
Estratetraenol releases a chemical Sometimes referred to as a ‘fertility pheromone’, modern-day pheromone products contain chemicals such as Estratetraenol, Androstenol and Androstadienone. According to Wikipedia, Androstenol and Androstadienone have a musky scent and seemingly have a relaxing effect on those who encounter it. Estratetraenol is relatively odorless, and can be an indirect indicator of high fertility.
Modern-day pheromone perfumes use one, or both of these as the main ingredient of their base, and complement them with an entourage of other essential oils.
