Pheromones are produced in fertile bodies and are excreted to convey a message to the opposite sex. They are usually the chemical substances that trigger reproductive response in the opposite sex of the same species. Not only animals, but certain plants also emit pheromones. However, they have now fallen victim to the deodorants and antiseptics and their effects is almost fallow now.

Pheromones are usually without any odor and it is virtually impossible to detect them with human nose. However, women usually tend to smell the substance better and thus there are best pheromones for men available in the markets that are not available for ladies. It increases the attention that is received by the other gender. Pheromones are the substances that help the humans to have sexual intercourse and can be thought of as a facilitator. The word pheromone is composed to two Greek words- “Pheran” that means transfer and “Horman” which relates to excitement.

Colognes and after shave lotions are artificial pheromones and they contain musk and other pheromones. The artificial pheromones are required because the natural pheromones are released in small quantities and are not too strong in the fragrance as well.
