Letter from the Prez:
Hello Readers,

The kids, wife and I are in Nevada again on our way back to LA after a very enjoyable visit to love-scent.com headquarters in the beautiful Western Colorado mountains. During the trip we spent several days with the well-known pheromone researcher James Kohl, author of my favorite book on the subject, The Scent of Eros. Among many other things, James mentioned that he is currently in the process of updating the book for future rerelease.

Pheromone News editor, Dale Andrews informs me that he had a very interesting phone interview with James recently, the results of which are scheduled to appear in our September issue of the News. So, don’t miss it!
And of course….
Don’t forget to smile at someone today!

SURVEY RESULTS

In July, we asked readers to tell us about the scents they find sexually arousing. The responses were very informative and highlighted two points. First, males and females may both have noses, but each gender has a very different sense of smell. Second, there are certain scents the majority of people find stimulating (a lot of men and women both like musk), but every individual’s social conditioning also plays a part. For instance, a grown woman may catch wind of a certain scent (it could be anything) that makes her recall her first crush, and become aroused because of that memory.

Editor’s note: In July, we added a new person to the Pheromone News team. Matt Boyer (our Forum members will certainly recognize the name) is now handling the task of sorting through the monthly survey responses and picking the replies we reprint in each newsletter. Welcome, Matt! 😉

SELECTED HIGHLIGHTS

Which scent(s) do you find sexually arousing?

Males:
– Ever since I was younger I have always loved the smell of girls hair, something to do with their shampoo. That makes me aroused – a big sniff of sweet smelling hair.
– If I had to choose a particular class of scent, it would be that “sun tan lotion” smell. I love that vanilla/coconut/tropical scent. Perhaps it reminds me of my first memorable sun bathing experience, next to a beautiful girl, as a teen.
– Juicy Fruit gum and cheap perfume in combination. Reminds me of high school cheerleaders and rampant hormones.
– The scents that I find the most arousing are all nature-based: vanilla, sandalwood, cedar, and, sometimes, a woman’s sweat, especially if after a workout.
– I find the smell of pumpkin pie kind of arousing.

Females:
– My husband, who passed away 5 months ago, had a special body scent all his own. He smelled like a clean cotton shirt, freshly laundered and dried in the sun, plus a certain warm, musky, male scent that was clean but slightly salty. He wore several fragrances that enhanced it. After his death, I much regretted the fact that I had done laundry right before he died.
– I learnt a lot from Arabic people and from my travels in Asia. Some oils in certain combinations work just like pheromones, men love it when women wear a citrus, jasmine and musk combination and women seem to respond well to men who wear a patchouli, amber and khus combination.
– The smell of a man cooking in the kitchen….it could be anything.
– I can be very stimulated by a man’s cologne. He may be someone just walking by, but if his cologne smells really nice, it just makes me tingle all over.
– Musk! Definitely. A sweet but mellow appeal. I love the fragrance on others as well as myself.
– I would have to say there are two scents that really turn me on. First and foremost, the smell of my boyfriend’s skin. Also, the smell of certain cigarettes smells very attractive to me. Maybe I associate it with sex although I personally don’t smoke.
– What is more sexually arousing than when a man smells like fresh laundry? As dumb as it sounds, it overpowers every cologne and aftershave that I know of.
– My favorite scent is pumpkin pie! Makes me want to hop into bed!!!

pheromone Q & A

Q: I’ve got my Edge now, thanks for being so fast. How long will the Edge stay fresh in the bottle? I mean, is there ever a point where you need to buy a new bottle even if you have some left? If so, how long?

A: I would think at least two or three years if you keep it in a tightly sealed bottle away from direct sunlight. However, there is no hard data of which I’m aware. The longest I have personally kept a bottle is about two years. It is a bottle of the original Primal Instinct and I still use it regularly. It still has the same fragrance and it seems to work the same. I have heard from at least a few customers who left a bottle of some product on their car dashboard, and are convinced the product became worthless afterward. A final thought – oil based products like Primal Instinct may hold up longer than alcohol based products, but with any product you can still expect it to last years, not months.

Good luck and don’t forget to smile!

All the Best,
Bruce

FEATURE ARTICLE

PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME COULD SOON BE TREATED WITH pheromones

One day soon, women suffering from premenstrual syndrome (PMS) might be finding instant relief in a pheromone nasal spray.

The company developing the spray is Pherin Pharmaceuticals, of Mountain View, California. One of Pherin’s founders is David Berliner, who was previously associated with the development of the popular Realm line of pheromone-laced colognes.

Pherin claims the new treatment will free women from irritability, depression and other symptoms of PMS, and also the more severe premenstrual dysphoric order (PMDD). According to a July 18 report published in New Scientist, Pherin conducted tests on 20 women that show the spray can ease both mood disorders and physical symptoms like breast pain.

PMS is a condition most researchers agree is triggered by fluctuating hormones affecting brain function. Doctors usually prescribe mood-altering drugs like Prozac.

Human pheromones are powerful mediators of sexual attraction, anxiety and hormone-related disorders, says Berliner in the New Scientist report.

For decades, the research community has debated whether human pheromones even exist. However, Berliner and other pheromone researchers have shown through studies that certain pheromones can play a part in human sexual behavior, and that others can induce calmness in the opposite sex. pheromones are detected by a separate organ in the nose called the vomeronasal organ, or VNO.

To treat PMS, Pherin has developed a pheromone-like compound or “vomeropherin” called PH80. When women inhale the compound, PH80 binds to receptors in the VNO and a message is sent to the hypothalamus, which is involved in the central nervous system and the endocrine system. In other words, the vomeropherin has a direct line to the brain and it means the relief is immediate.

Functional MRI scans have already shown that PH80 does in fact target a region of the hypothalamus thought to affect PMS. Pherin is now setting up full clinical trials of the new spray.

User Corner

Some of the effects I have had:
– Deer in headlights look a number of times, where I would be talking to a girl and she would stare hypnotized at me for the whole time, and yet manage to have a coherent conversation. This same girl started talking to me about sex on the second conversation.
– I was at a house party in the kitchen and there were four people in the room including me, I was chatting to this chap. Then I decided to pop out. I had moved one step towards the door, when the two girls (who I didn’t know) in the corner about 5 feet away both instantly turned and called out to me to stay, in unison, with broad smiles on their faces.
– Perhaps the best effect of all is that because I now know beyond doubt that many many girls find me very attractive, I have the confidence to initiate conversations, ask for email addresses and telephone numbers, kiss, and so on.
