How Do Pheromones Work?

A pheromone is a chemical scent that is released by one human being and designed to have an effect on another. We all produce pheromones and it is these that make us particularly attractive to members of the opposite sex.

All sorts of strange facts have emerged from research into pheromones. It has been shown, for example, that when women work closely together their menstrual periods become synchronized, and it is thought that this is a result of pheromonal activity. It is also known that, when they ovulate, women produce particularly attractive pheromones.

Just how useful pheromones can be is something that the scientists are still working on. Meanwhile, perhaps we should be content to keep ourselves clean and fresh and rely on our natural pheromones to make us attractive instead of spending money on perfumes. The real irony here is that some perfume ingredients are manufactured out of animal pheromones - musk, for example.
