The Cauldron: A Pagan Forum

I use to never think pheromones could work in such a powerful way, but then I met someone who I didn't find physically attractive but had this weird hold on me. Spell mayhaps? Or probably just pheromones.

 I personally have found anything vanilla scented is ....."inspiring" and although I have yet to try it in a spell (love magic intimidates me with the very idea of it)  It may be effective. Or that's just my own personal pitfall

Well, yes. There are those dog or cat pheromone diffuser - like Feliway - to help calming nervous animals. Pheromones are used widely and I think per se they do work. And in humans, too, because we all are way more lizzard-brain driven, than we like to know or to admit.

I remember a test, where they put tiny amounts of male pheromone on different seats in a waiting area. All those seats were taken up by women, no matter how often they repeated the test.

If those special products do work, I can't tell tho'.

Honestly, I don't see any problem.

Just wondering if anyone here has used any of their products or any similar products -- magically or not -- and what you thought about them.

Thanks for the link.  (You know how hard it is for me to do research like that anymore, so I really appreciate you taking the time!)

Definitely more to think about.

The Love Potion Perfumerie does list the specific chemicals in at least some of its formulas (a few are listed as "proprietary").  But I certainly don't know enough about chemistry to have any idea about whether they're effective or even legit.

One of the types of chemicals they talk about are "copulins", which -- if I understand correctly -- are not pheremones but kinda work in a roughly similar way.  I see a few things on the web about copulins,  but not a whole lot.  And copulins are about sex (at least primarily), while pheremones have a variety of roles.

It looks like there's not a lot of *conclusive* evidence about the effectiveness of deliberately using pheremones and/or copulins, but there *is* a fair amount of anecdotal testimony.   Kinda like magic...  ;-)
