What Are Pheromones?
Human pheromones are chemicals that send subconscious scent signals to the opposite sex and can evoke deep, instinctive emotional reactions.
How Do Pheromones Work?
The signals are detected through an organ 3 inches inside the nose called Vemeronasal Organ (VNO). When the VNO detects the pheromones, it sends a response signal to the limbic region of the brain, which controls our emotions and deep-seated instincts, including attraction and bonding.
What Do Pheromones Do?
When these deep emotional feelings overwhelm you, your brain releases a chemical called phenethylamine, which in turn kicks on dopamine production. The result can be quite powerful and people who produce higher amounts of human pheromones often have greater success attracting the opposite sex.
