Have you ever walked down the street and been distracted by the scent of somebody passing by? You are not alone. Certain scents are magnetic (and sexy!) and can play a big part in why we’re attracted to someone.
It is known that this attraction, through the sense of smell, is caused by a natural chemical called pheromones.
So, it’s no wonder that ‘pheromone perfumes’ or ‘do pheromone perfumes work?’ are trending on TikTok. But what exactly are pheromones, and can we really bottle them up? Let’s find out…
WHAT ARE PHEROMONES?
Pheromones are scents that occur naturally in our bodies, like sweat. While this may not sound particularly enticing, they send biological attraction signals to the brain that we can’t resist. All animals, including humans, detect pheromones using the Vomeronasal organ (VNO) which sends a signal to the brain that there is a sexy suitor close by.
Think about it this way: you are walking down the street and you smell someone’s perfume and it instantly makes your head turn – a pheromone is nature’s equivalent! So do pheromone perfumes work? In short, yes they do!
WHAT ARE PHEROMONE PERFUMES?
Pheromone perfumes are fragrances that work with your natural scent and enhance your body’s pheromones, making you more sexually attractive. The science behind the effectiveness may still be up for debate, but pheromone perfumes are backed anecdotally. Many people find the whole concept intriguing and love exploring the enchanting world of pheromone scents. The most common pheromone notes in perfumery are amber, civet, and musk; all of these scents can spark an instant attraction. You might call it love at first spritz.
There are plenty of gorgeous fragrances out there that are the closest thing you’re going to get to a real-life love potion, so if you have a hot date on the horizon, or you’re hoping to impress that special someone, give one of these seductive scents a try!
