Common science accepts that scent, and by
extension pheromones-since they're processed by the same olfactory system, are received and processed by molecular
shape. Another well researched theory contends that scent is recognized by vibration. That theory allows for a
much more complex and realistic allowance for the huge diversity in our ability to smell, and react to smells,
particularly with reference to synthetic pheromones.
Its amazing enough to think of this when we smell
flowers and essential oils from those flowers. Imagining the ramifications of molecular vibration causing reactions
due to pheromonal stimulus kind of boggles the mind.
All of this is theory, like all of what we know about
synthetic pheromones, but applying common sense to science you can have a lot of fun, and get a better angle on
what we're dealing with.
