Copulins: Human pheromones effect physiology and affect social behavior
This study indicates that copulins affect males both in physiology and behavioral response.
Food odors and social odors
Fragrance use adds to the appeal of men’s axillary odors.
Human Pheromones and the Biology of Behavior
“Symptoms” of well-understood brain activity are clearly established via rewards and experience-dependent conditioned preferences that depend on hormonal changes driven by the effects of odors. Food odors and social odors elicit these “symptoms” of activity
