Is Love Right Under Your Nose?

Hi there, fans of all that is good and useful! I promised you a whole bunch of new blogs for our new home here at Google, and they are forthcoming. To tickle your mind until that time, I offer the following, written by another fabulous Pugliese woman, my sister Susan. More about Susan and her career in the coming days, but read about pherAdore. You will believe in magic! Blessings for the rest of 2007. Back soon. Love, Patti

There has been much speculation and controversy surrounding human pheromones and the use of pheromone products. Dr. Peter T. Pugliese, a medical doctor and world authority on skin and aging, says that he believes pheromones can work to help human females attract men. But not in the way one might think.

In animals, pheromones are a well-documented method of communication. By definition a pheromone is a chemical transported outside the body that has the potential to evoke certain responses in another individual of the same species. They were first identified in 1959 in animals as chemicals that attract the opposite sex and initiate mating behavior.

But Dr. Pugliese, who has developed a fragrance containing pheromones, called pherAdore, believes the power of supplemental pheromones for humans lies in the user sensing the pheromones. The key is how a woman is affected when she applies a male pheromone, which is what most products use. Studies have shown repeatedly that women are positively affected by certain male pheromones. They are more relaxed, and more receptive to male attention, and a receptive woman is more attractive to men. “When women become more aware of their own attractiveness they project a heightened sense of approachability," says Dr. Pugliese.

Women who have used pheromones report many positive effects in their social and business lives. They report feeling much more confident, more relaxed. They have more contact with men, are approached more frequently by men, and have more affectionate contact with husbands and boyfriends. So don’t think this product is only for single women – it could be useful in re-igniting the spark in your current relationship. "In married couples, pheromones might cause a renewed interest in the other person, leading to feeling closer and being more attentive”, says Dr Pugliese. Like getting your husband to look at you instead of the TV! Even more intriguing, in a large double-blind study use of pheromones was even shown to reduce signs of depression and fatigue.

Interestingly, users of the pherAdore, fragrance, a proprietary blend of four naturally-occurring pheromones combined with ylang-ylang., are instructed to dab the roller top in the area under the nose and above the upper lip, and also apply to pulse points, like wrists and behind ears, while most pheromone products instruct one to apply product anywhere on skin, or even clothes. Dr Pugliese explains that by applying the product to the area above the upper lip, the user is sure to sense the pheromone, and thus it’s potentially powerful effects. While this area of research is still controversial, there is so much positive and intriguing evidence that even skeptics believe it’s an area worth further study.
