Pheromones definitely play a role in human courtship. They affect attraction between people and may improve the stability of relationships. Some people buy human pheromones in an attempt to attract a partner but, of course it will not work: their own pheromones are in conflict with what they're wearing and much fresher to boot. Furthermore it could never result in a stable relationship, they would have to wear the scent for the rest of their lives!

But if a person's own pheromones were present in larger quantities the chances of attracting an actually compatible mate would be improved.

The product is a distilled version of the scentless pheromones you yourself produce. You send in a sample of your sweat and a company will analyze its chemical components and create a like mixture but without the salt, waste products and whatever the bacteria eat that makes a person stink. Thus armed with the smell YOU smell like you can be more successful in love.

I think this is an interesting idea.

If you are obsessed with yourself you could also give a jar to your lover.
