I tried a pheromone cologne for a few months last year. Can't say I really noticed any difference in how women acted around me.
But I smelled nicer.

Not every kind of pheremone cologne works for everyone. I had to go through alot of trial and error before i found one that actually worked..

Ohh wow.. thanks.. after my last post
I really needed something to laugh about
Sorry - it is very much an inside joke..
well not a joke for some - well on..
I can't stop laughing
and the
side of me is arguing with the nice side
so not really sure if I should let you guys in on it..
or let you all MAYBE find out for yourself..
plus the chances of it happening - I hope are very slim..
if not
well...
if something very very odd starts happening to the ones trying it.. remember this post..

The best phermones are your own. A clean sweat will usually do, meaning, if you can manage to get sweaty while after you've showered, you will emit phermones that have not been overwhelmed by offensive body oder.

Most people don't strike me as having much of a 'pheremonal' presence, and I suppose it's one of those chemistry things where we all have a pheremonal 'type' that we respond to more than others and for some people we don't respond at all.
However, when that presence is there, WOW, do I notice. Some people give off such a strong dose of it I can walk in a room and feel them before I even see them in a crowd. Meeting my first wife was like that. I came into a room where she was talking to someone else and had her back to me and ZAP! I was mesmerized even before I saw her face. Her skin smelled so sexy to me, I couldn't get enough of that scent.
The trick to finding the right perfume for any individual seems to be finding one that actually compliments your own pheromone scent. I loved Avon's Sweet Honesty on her, but I've known other women who wore it and it didn't ever smell quite the same on them.
The other trick with perfumes and colognes is learning to daub them on in mere touches, instead of BATHING in them.

Same types of experience here too. I have a very good sense of smell and can often identify familiar people or tell when they've been in a room recently by their scent. Scent is usually the first thing I notice about guys I've gone on to develop affections for.
I'm not convinced by the science to backing the hypothesis that human mate choice is pheramone guided. What does seem to have a bit of back up though is that a persons scent carries some biochemical information about their immune system and that we have evolved to chose mates with immune systems that are different from our own to avoid inbreeding and give our offspring the best immune systems possible. Google "major histocompatibility complex" and "mate choice" if you want some interesting reading material.
And yes, totally agree with you about the perfumes/colognes. There are few things less sexy than someone who smells like they bathe in the stuff!

yes, i remember reading this somewhere too - we tend to be attracted to people who smell *different* from our parents of the opposite sex, if i recall correctly. you make a good point - it is about sexual chemistry, and how one's own scent blends with a mate's.
i am hugely influenced by scent because my sense of smell is very sensitive too. i can also recognize many people by their smell - i had no idea other people could do that!! ! on the flip side, i feel nauseous going into a bathroom stall right after some people exit - not because of their bodily functions, but because of the very personal smells they leave behind.
i do like people's natural scents in addition to product aromas. i've dated guys who never wore deodorant or antiperspirant, and as long as they showered regularly they did not have an unpleasant scent.
