Scientific Research on Human Pheromones

It has become evident that pheromones have a greater influence on us than most people are capable of imagining. The following studies confirm that smell is significantly more important for humans than visual perception, especially concerning human sexuality.

On this page, we present translations of the latest research on pheromones, published by the National Institute of Health, in the National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE – the world’s leading database of medical literature), conducted by physicians, laboratory technicians, chemists, ethnologists, sexologists, psychologists, and many other scientists from around the world.
