- Myth: Pheromone perfumes are guaranteed to attract anyone.
- Truth: While they may increase your attractiveness, they do not guarantee specific results as attraction is subjective and multifactorial. Studies have suggested that pheromones can influence perception and behaviour, but there is no absolute guarantee of attraction.
- Myth: Human pheromones don't work.
- Truth: There are studies that suggest that pheromones can influence human perception and behaviour, although results may vary between individuals. For example, it has been shown that compounds such as androstadienone (AND) and estratetraenol (EST) can affect mood and sexual desire.
- Myth: Pheromones only affect sexual attraction.
- Truth: Pheromones can influence a variety of behaviours. Research has shown that newborn babies prefer the smell of their mothers' breasts, and that adults can detect a person's mood through the smell of their sweat.
- Myth: All pheromone perfumes have the same effect.
- Truth: The effectiveness of pheromone perfumes can vary significantly depending on the composition and concentration of the pheromones. Not all products on the market contain effective levels of pheromones, and the response may differ between individuals due to factors such as genetics and social context.
- Myth: Human pheromones have been fully identified.
- Truth: Although there are candidate compounds such as AND and EST that are considered potential pheromones, a definitive "human sex pheromone" has not yet been identified. Research is still ongoing and scientists have not found all the specific chemicals that could act as pheromones in humans.
- Myth: Pheromones are the main reason behind human attraction.
- Truth: Human attraction is complex and influenced by a combination of visual, auditory, olfactory and contextual factors. Although pheromones may play a role, they are neither the only nor the main factor in attraction.
