HOW DO PHEROMONES WORK ON HUMANS?
Share
At the center of human chemical communication lies a tiny structure called the Vomeronasal Organ (VNO) — a specialized system designed to detect pheromones and translate them into subtle behavioral and emotional responses.
Even though the VNO may not appear as a fully functional organ in every person, the effects of pheromones are very real. Studies continue to show that pheromones can influence mood, physiology, and the subconscious behavior of those around us.
One of the most documented examples is the pheromone androstadienone — often referred to as the “emotional influence” molecule.
To illustrate its power, here is a passage from one of the world’s most respected science publications, Scientific American:
“The researchers measured physiological vital signs like body temperature, skin conductance, ear pulse, blood pressure, respiratory function, and cardiac rate throughout the experiment. They also measured mood and sexual arousal by checking cortisol levels — a hormone associated with arousal and emotional state — through saliva samples.”
“The results: smelling androstadienone increased positive mood, total physiological arousal, and sexual arousal, with the effects becoming stronger the longer the exposure.”
In other words, even a single pheromone molecule has the ability to shift emotional chemistry, elevate mood, and subtly intensify attraction — all without the person consciously realizing why.
