Vomeronasal organ and human pheromones.
Trotier D. Trotier D. Eur Ann Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Dis. 2011 Sep;128(4):184-90. doi: 10.1016/j.anorl.2010.11.008. Epub 2011 Mar 5. Eur Ann Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Dis. 2011. PMID: 21377439 Free article. Review.
In tetrapods, the vomeronasal (Jacobson's) organ specializes in detecting pheromones in biological substrates of congeners. This information triggers behavioral changes associated, in the case of certain pheromones, with neuroendocrine correlates. ...Nevertheless, s …

Reproducible research into human chemical communication by cues and pheromones: learning from psychology's renaissance.
Wyatt TD. Wyatt TD. Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci. 2020 Jun 8;375(1800):20190262. doi: 10.1098/rstb.2019.0262. Epub 2020 Apr 20. Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci. 2020. PMID: 32306877 Free PMC article. Review.
Despite the lack of evidence that the 'putative human pheromones' androstadienone and estratetraenol ever were pheromones, almost 60 studies have claimed 'significant' results. ...Research on human chemical communication, much of it falling within psyc …

Human pheromones: integrating neuroendocrinology and ethology.
Kohl JV, Atzmueller M, Fink B, Grammer K. Kohl JV, et al. Neuro Endocrinol Lett. 2001 Oct;22(5):309-21. Neuro Endocrinol Lett. 2001. PMID: 11600881 Review.
Since we don t know either if, or how, visual cues might have direct and developmental effects on hormone levels in other people, the biological basis for the development of visually perceived human physical attraction is currently somewhat questionable. In contrast, the b …

The human skin: fragrances and pheromones.
Berliner DL, Jennings-White C, Lavker RM. Berliner DL, et al. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 1991 Oct;39(4B):671-9. doi: 10.1016/0960-0760(91)90266-8. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 1991. PMID: 1892796 Review.
Non-human mammalian pheromones are commonly used as perfumery ingredients. ...The attractive effect of perfumes is principally related to the effect of the pleasant scent. A more logical approach would be to use human pheromones which, for humans, are …

The search for human pheromones: the lost decades and the necessity of returning to first principles.
Wyatt TD. Wyatt TD. Proc Biol Sci. 2015 Apr 7;282(1804):20142994. doi: 10.1098/rspb.2014.2994. Proc Biol Sci. 2015. PMID: 25740891 Free PMC article. Review.
As humans are mammals, it is possible, perhaps even probable, that we have pheromones. However, there is no robust bioassay-led evidence for the widely published claims that four steroid molecules are human pheromones: androstenone, androstenol, androstadieno …
