Pheromones are "love chemicals." Many animals and insects create them to attract opposite sexes. A male moth detects chemicals released by a far more fertile female, stops what he's doing, and mates with her.
Pheromones are debated in humans as to whether they affect behaviour. Some tiny studies suggest that chemical odours can increase sexual reactions in men and women.
Human pheromones number in the hundreds. Their chemical makeup and activities are unknown. Scientists haven't found one that sparks sexual attraction.
Humans can detect pheromones. The vomeronasal organ is different from scent sensing in animals that respond to pheromones.
Humans have vomeronasal organs in their noses. These are thought to sense pheromones from other humans, convey messages to the brain that are relayed to the complex hormonal system, and induce sexual behaviour.
Next time you're drawn to someone, it might be love or pheromones.
