WHAT ARE PHEROMONES?

Pheromones are nature’s own “chemical messengers” — invisible scent signals that influence how we feel, react, and connect with one another.
These naturally secreted substances help humans and animals communicate on a deeper, instinctive level that words can’t touch.

At their core, pheromones act as biological markers — ultra-subtle chemosignals that shape our emotional responses, social behavior, and even subconscious attraction. They can shift mood, spark interest, change perception, and influence how others respond to you.

One of the key players in this process is the vomeronasal organ (VNO), a highly specialized receptor located inside the nose. Unlike the regular sense of smell, the VNO is wired directly to the limbic system — the part of the brain responsible for emotions, desire, and instinctive reactions.
When the VNO detects pheromone signals, it sends rapid messages to these emotional centers, influencing hormonal balance and shaping patterns behavior.

While your normal olfactory system picks up everyday scents, the VNO detects something far more primal: chemical cues that the brain processes below the level of conscious awareness.
This is why pheromones are so closely linked to attraction — they speak directly to the emotional brain, subtly affecting how people feel and interact with one another.

Pheromones are often called ectohormones — hormones that act outside the body yet have measurable influence within it.
