Pheromone perfumes have been all the rage on TikTok for almost a year. Fans claim these "sexy scents" have made them more attractive, more attention, and more action. But what are they and how do they work?
What are pheromones?
Before we dive too deep, though, we need to talk about what pheromones actually are. Pheromones are signaling molecules that are naturally produced in the bodies of many animals and insects. These molecules act as messages to other members of their species. This is why all those ants seem to know where things are in your kitchen ("Hey guys, the cookies are over here!"), why your dog tags the neighbor's mailbox during every walk ("This is mine!"), and why your cat rubs its face on your ankle ("I like this, and it makes me feel safe!").
Pheromones allow animals to silently communicate a wide variety of things: where they should all gather, where there might be danger, or that they are looking for a mate.
The science of pheromones
So the question arises: If animals use pheromones to attract potential mates, why can't humans do the same? That's the idea behind pheromone scents.
Experts have studied the power of pheromones. Animals process pheromone signals through the vomeronasal organ, something adult humans don't have. But even can detect the fer omonas through smell, but our ability to do so isn't as advanced as that of animals. Scientists have discovered that certain smells can excite or turn us off.
In one study, the 74% of university women They experienced an increase in sexual intercourse, dating, kissing, and more when they applied pheromones. Scientists also discovered that women are sensitive to a compound called androstadienone, which is found in higher concentrations in men's sweat. They then discovered that when women applied this compound to their upper lip, they experienced improved mood and concentration, which in turn boosted their sexual response.
Because let's face it, who feels attractive and ready for a date when they're in a bad mood?
Pheromones and fragrances
Now you understand what's behind pheromone fragrances. These types of fragrances use pheromones not only to help you attract others' attention, but also to evolve and change their olfactory profile based on the wearer's body chemistry.

One user says she uses it to combat seasonal depression, while another uses it to lift her flirtatious mood.
