Humans don't have any proven pheromones.

Heh? I thought that was the crap they've been putting in deodorent and perfume for decades now.

Despite these claims, no pheromonal substance has ever been demonstrated to directly influence human behavior in a peer reviewed study.[18][35] Thus, the role of pheromones in human behavior remains speculative and controversial.[36]

It's difficult to study since we like to wash off all our body odors.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Why would you want a human scented candle? People smell freaking horrible! Each one a unique variation of horrid. And then all the cheap scents! You don't even know how much worse it smells when covered up with scented deoderant. Ugh, good god.


Incidentally. have I mentioned I have Hyperosmia?



Please note that human pheremones are not well studied because of the sheer difficulty in getting a perfectly sterile and oderless human being. So most of the "Pheremone" crap is just that.

I personally prefer to smell like a human than a lab-created scent. I don't use scent things like cologne, nor do I use deodorant, but I'm gifted with a rather muted body odor. Plus I shower every day, but I only wash my hair, so I smell like a human, but a clean human. :P

People actually smell rather nice if they bother to bathe regularly and don't slather on artificial scents. We're hardcoded to enjoy the smell of people on some level, I'd imagine. Personally, I use odorless deodorant and shampoo.

And it seems a tad odd in that Pheromones are one of those things are meant to only ever slightly alter your decision making processes to further the biological imperative. Studying it closely would of course produce sketchy results, since it's not a strong determining factor, just small one working behind the scenes.

Not to me you wouldn't. Although I'm not sure how I could explain to you what it is like.

This. I greatly enjoy the smell of relatively clean people. To an extent. I'm not like running around sniffing people all day, is what I'm saying.

I'm not sure if I believe you on that last bit Hans, not after you've told us so much about your... habits.

I only sniff people I like. And not like, all creepily. I just like their smell when I smell it.

I know what crap vision is like, my friend. And I wasn't intending to be offensive. Just trying to provide a good example. :P Also, poking fun at you for being so wolflike. So a little offensive. :/ But in a friendly way.

You're all good. And I have poor sense of smell, except for people and rotten stuff, and pretty poor hearing. Also, I can't see clearly past about six inches from my eyes. So, in general, all my sense suck, but I'm quite intelligent, so I'm like... A... Floating brain?
