Abstract
Olfactory communication is very common amongst animals, and since the discovery of an accessory olfactory system in humans, possible human olfactory communication has gained considerable scientific interest. The importance of the human sense of smell has by far been underestimated in the past. Humans and other primates have been regarded as primarily 'optical animals' with highly developed powers of vision but a relatively undeveloped sense of smell. In recent years this assumption has undergone major revision. Several studies indicate that humans indeed seem to use olfactory communication and are even able to produce and perceive certain pheromones; recent studies have found that pheromones may play an important role in the behavioural and reproduction biology of humans. In this article we review the present evidence of the effect of human pheromones and discuss the role of olfactory cues in human sexual behaviour.

I just forwarded this link to a female friend of mine who keeps telling me pheromones don't work on humans.
They are still in denial of pheromones and their role in our biology. If only any of these scientists could get a bottle of AV or old L2K and try them

I was talking to jv Kohl almost 20 years ago about this very thing while I interviewed him on the phone for a college paper
