Pheromones

[Guest guest]

OK, this came up in a conversation. Where do the chemicals that are used in

the perfumes come from? This person was telling me that the chemicals are

collected from human armpits then somehow refined for the perfume industry.

Since I never have, and never will, incorporate such substances into my

perfumes, I'm wondering if y'all think they are considered " natural " , and

if you would put them in your perfumes. Or, is what they told me all

baloney, and the stuff is from a lab? Either way, feh. I'll stick with the

natural stuff I know.

(Using a little mind bleach right now to get the image of " harvesting " that

stuff out of my mind.)

The pheromone chemicals I believe that is what you are asking are synthetic

from a lab. No these are not armpit juice, not animal juice etc. Lab

stuff...

I taught a Natural Fragrance class at the U of WA in the women's center

years, years ago. I taught the difference between the naturals and the

synethetics and duplicating a synthetic eau de toilette with naturals. I

had received samples of perfumes from a House of Guerlain perfumer.

Anyway the off shoot of that was my explaining First as the first fragrance

to contain pheromones. This is how it is advertised anyway. The next thing

I know I am custom blending natural parfums. At the time I was an

aromatherapist so it was a nice side line. Well after the whole parfum with

pheromones thing...people wanted these. So I got in some " synthetic

pheromones " and sold the concentrates for male and female, and 5 blends with

the pheros. Email me off line as I still have some of this stuff in a

box... I don't know if it is psychological or what but it did work...I had

people calling and telling me the results and laughing. I tried some on for

myself.. What a hoot.....

Tune in next week...

Hello Mauro,

Thanks for your interesting commentaries. Could you elaborate on the

statement above? Do you mean that an individual who produces stronger

pheromones will also absorb them to a greater extent?

Thanks, e
