A Look at Pheromone Cologne
Imagine a cologne that doesn't just make you smell good, it
makes you look good, too. That is what pheromone cologne
manufacturers would have you believe. A typical product has a
selling line like, "Would you like to turn beautiful single
women on instantly?" Who would say no? Mixed with alluring
fragrances, pheromone colognes reportedly work on the principal
that humans can detect and be influenced by pheromones, but what
are they?
Technically, pheromones are chemicals produced by animals that
affect the behavior of other animals. This isn't a purely sexual
affair as many would have you believe. There are pheromones for
everything from marking territories to leading the way to food.
Most of the attention, however, is on the well documented fact
that many insects and animals find and respond to their
potential mates based on pheromones.
Human pheromones don't really have a strong scent. The myth that
by applying deodorant, you are covering up your natural
pheromones doesn't hold much water. Most people would definitely
prefer the smell of deodorant over strong body odor.
Technically, pheromones are odorless; they are more or less
"detected" by an organ in your nose called the vomeronasal
organ. This organ, though more developed in other mammals, sends
signals to the brain when pheromones are detected that may say
things like, "Whoa, healthy genes at 8 o'clock, let's get his
number." At least that's what buyers of these products hope.
Pheromones are actually regulated as fragrances so there is no
limit to the amount of pheromone in pheromone cologne. Some of
the more popular pheromone cologne products out there are Athena
Pheromone, Pherone Formulas, Pherplay, and Pherlife. Not just
for men, there are also pheromone perfumes targeted towards
women who want to use the power of pheromones to attract men.
Remember that results can vary and make sure to check customer
feedback on these products before buying.
