What is the science behind pheromone perfumes?
Humans contain natural “pheromones” or chemicals in their sweat that send subconscious scent signals to the opposite sex, eliciting an intense response. Detected by an organ within the nose known as the Vomeronasal Organ, a signal is sent to the part of the brain that controls emotions and desires.
After the brain is overwhelmed by these feelings, it releases a chemical that turns on dopamine production. This entire process happens while the person is fully unaware of what they are smelling.
Although pheromones are naturally odorless and scent-free versions are available, there are many scented versions available that can enhance the intended mood with sumptuous scents like ylang-ylang, sandalwood, and jasmine. Certain pheromone perfumes attract men more effectively, while others are better at attracting women.
Some studies show that using pheromone-based products can actually make people perceive you as more successful, social, and attractive. They make conversations easier and make people more approachable, working with your natural scent rather than overwhelming it.
They work best when applied to the neckline and wrists, which is where our sweat glands are, but you can even apply these sprays to bedsheets or use them as a room spray.
Not all pheromones are made equal – some of them have side effects, which is why it’s important to go with a safe vegan formula like Eye of Love’s yam base.
