    Seduce with scent? This is how pheromones and perfume work together 

    Smell and attraction are inseparable. There is no doubt that a lovely fragrance is extremely attractive. But did you know that there are certain fragrances that seduce the senses with their aromatic substances?


    We explain everything about the use of pheromones in perfume and which fragrance ingredients you can use to attract the people around you. Perfume is the perfect way to make your pleasant presence known. You stimulate the senses of the people surrounding you, who knows, you might even seduce them with your scent. Maybe you've heard of pheromone perfume

    01 | What are pheromones?

    A pheromone is a signalling molecule that transmits signals between individuals of the same species. They are natural chemicals produced by insects, animals and humans to attract the opposite sex. Pheromone originates from Greek and means 'carrier of arousal'. Animals still secrete a lot of pheromones, but in humans it is less. We only release a small amount of pheromones when we sweat. We rinse these off while showering and mask them by using deodorant. So unless you seduce the love of your life while exercising, an extra boost of pheromones is desirable.



    02 | How do pheromones work?

    How do these wonderful substances work their magic? The secretion of pheromones is a natural way of making two individuals feel attracted to each other. 

    When a person releases pheromones, they enter the Vomeronasal Organ at the back of the nose and are then sent to the Hypothalamus part of the brain. This is the area where all our sexual desires are monitored. So chances are, when you excrete pheromones you will immediately be perceived as more attractive.

    03 | Pheromones and scent

    Pheromones have almost no smell, but the male pheromone androstenol can smell like musk in large quantities. This is why many women unconsciously prefer musk-like scents. 

    Animal pheromones were widely used in perfume. Think of musk, which was extracted from the secretory glands of the male musk deer. Or amber, which comes from the intestines of the sperm whale. Thankfully, nowadays almost all animal pheromones are produced synthetically, as the extraction of natural substances is very unfriendly to animals.

    There are bottles with odourless synthetic pheromones on the market, but their effect has never been scientifically proven.

    05 | OTHER DELIVERABLE PARFUM INGREDIENTS

    Not only pheromones seduce, but a sophisticated perfume also has enormous seductive power. There are certain ingredients that have a sensual effect and are considered hugely seductive. For example, consider tuberose, which is the most seductive flower in the world and it blooms only at night. The lush scent of tuberose is unparalleled sensual. Perfumes centred on tuberose include Do Son by Diptyque and Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle.

    Saffron is a wonderful ingredient for cooking, but it also has a magical effect in perfume. This precious spice gives every fragrance a unique twist that will certainly not go unnoticed. Are you a fan of saffron? Then try B683 by MARC-ANTOINE BARROIS or Black Saffron by Byredo.

    Do you prefer a molecular fragrance? Then ambroxan is the ingredient you are looking for. Ambroxan has a different effect on everyone, but it is always skinlike sensual. The subtle scent is extremely seductive and has an inimitable woody, musk-like finesse. A perfume enriched with ambroxan is Not a Perfume by Juliette has a Gun. Another incredibly sensual perfume is Magnetic Blend 7 by INITIO Parfums Privés. This perfume works with a secret musk molecule to enhance its seductive power.
